Rohan495 Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Mine would have to be the sublime matchwinning 104 against Pakistan in the Lahore ODI.
cochise Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 There are so many of them...his two in Sydney...one on this tour and one on the previous one also rank high...each one of his centuries, a rare gem in it's own right...
Dravid Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 the one were chuckter sent his stump flying :D kidingg.. yea, the final v. pak for me..
cochise Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 the one were chuckter sent his stump flying That one kept low and snuck under his bat man...a cruel fate...

cochise Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Whoops! I was thinking about a different dismissal...however, that kept slightly low too...not low enough to get under the bat though. You have me. Congratulations!
Kartikey Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 His 148 at Adeilade was good. The century at Sydney this time around was magnificent and the century against Pak in the last ODI in 2004 was also superb.
DomainK Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 He is a treat to watch whenever he gets into form. Most of his centuries are special. The spectators, the students of the game and the expert critics- they all watch him mesmerised when he is in full flow.
cochise Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/player/30750.html At his sublime best, VVS Laxman is a sight for the gods. Wristy, willowy and sinuous, he can match - sometimes even better - Tendulkar for strokeplay. His on-side game is comparable to his idol Azharuddin's, and yet he is decidedly more assured on the off side, and has the rare gift of being able to hit the same ball to either side. The Australians, who have suffered more than most, paid the highest compliment after India's 2003-04 tour Down Under by admitting they did not know where to bowl to him....
cochise Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 http://content-www.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/328826.html The word "Laxman" causes two reactions from Australian players: they cower at the thought of the previous treatment and praise him like a deity. ...They have seen such an angelic man turn wicked at home and away, where his brutally refined strokes generate inward and outward awe from his peers. He plays in a way even the most talented Australians dream of. Standing tall on his toes, his caresses seem from the past, when boundaries were painted rather than powered. Hearing the ball concertina into the bat is the only disturbance as his back-lift drops into the follow through.... ...and when he grew bored of hitting to cover, he worked towards square leg and mid-on with shots few Australians would have considered - or known how to play.
