amits Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 he has some sensational statistics while opening, but when not opening, he is worse than a tailender even. u would usually expect someone who avges 50+ with a sr of 127 while opening to do far better when not opening than what laxman has Mat Inns NO Runs HS Ave BF SR 100 50 0 4s 6s not as opener 6 6 0 21 10 [b]3.50[/b] 38 [b]55.26[/b] 0 0 2 1 1 as opener 4 4 1 153 52 [b]50.33[/b] 120 [b]127.50[/b] 0 1 0 22 1 so if laxman has to play any further part in the ipl, then he has to open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphic23 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 just want to say that this is the best thread I've seen on ICF. Amits deserves to be in a Hall of Fame of great ICF posters (and he's from Delhi). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 If Laxy has to be played, he's got to bat no lower than #3 to maximise his utility and to take advantage of the field restrictions and smoke a few boundaries before he gets out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumble_rocks Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 He should retire , he is a misfit in IPL ! After all, he has hit only 8 sixes in his entire test and ODI career combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Realist Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Laxman is embarassingly bad in T20 and should pack it in. Its not if he is young and will get better for the experience, he is only going to get worse as his reflexes get slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohan495 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Good thread Amits, I mean no matter what you say or do just keep backing it up with stats because most people in the forums are not really in for stats or reality only here for dry sarcasm and bashing of players they dont favor, Theyre dry sarcasm has no substance and are bunch of jokers with no base of argument just a mere too old too slow to play 2020 cricket.
