When will laxman learn how to bat with tail ?

[jf1gp_1]

Creating this thread in advance 'cause have no doubt the following is going to happen. Tomorrow once kumble falls i expect laxman to start taking single of first ball of over leaving the likes of Zaheer /Ishant to face 5 murli/mendis deliveries.

He shouldn't have to. He should come before ganguly.

My guess is never. He is a top order batsman who has been forced to play out of position because he had the misfortune of being born in the same decade as two other great Indian top order batsmen

I hope he does make the tail face 5 balls Why is Laxman constantly batting at that position, when he is batting better than the rest of the batsmen

Giving new meaning to Pre-emptive strikes .... :hysterical:

oh thank god for this post, atleast someone gets it.

Follow like Misbah, like tell tailender to stop wicket, but himself set to score like Misbah. I really enjoyed how Misbah has to scored a century and maintained decent partnership with tailender like Sami, and perhaps to set Pakistan in good position. If Laxman follows that, that can do for India

[kumble_rocks]

Laxman still hasn't figured out how to bat with the tail , but the question is , who in India has !

[suraj]

so frustrating to see him bat with the tail the way he does ANNOYINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

The real question should be WHY THE HELL is he batting so low? For how many more years will Dravid have to fail for VVS to be promoted to #3 and Dravid at #6?

Quite right. He bats at a position where one more wicket brings in the tail. When we know that he cant bat with the tail, why regularly expose him to the tail?

When we know that he cant bat with the tail' date=' why regularly expose him to the tail?[/quote'] Lakshman is a good test player...I feel he wants to remain not-out even if India lose the match...may be he want's to impress BCCI to get a spot in the ODI team.

Laxman is not able to take control with big shots and put fear into the opposition by scoring fast and aggressively. We need a better player who can do that and score more runs with the lower order - my son Yuvraj is far more capable of that than he is.
