VVS Laxman

It looks like this is going to be the conquering of the final frontier and Australia will now have won everything.

It just changes a little bit when VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid get together in the second innings.

Beautifully timed.

The

partnership now worth 200.

And there's the double hundred for VVS Laxman.

He's got it through.

That's a fantastic century.

...

Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman, Sourav Ganguly.

When these blokes walked out to bat, mate, there was not a spare seat.

If it seated 60,000, that'd fit 80,000-

But, uh, the other guy.

Okay, this is also very interesting, that when Laxman is managing Team India, Vaibhav is playing.

[laughs]

It's, it's very obvious.

...

but clearly there are two differing points of view here.

Laxman wants Vaibhav to play, so he's playing him.

Gautam is like, "Eh." Or is it the playing surface that decided, and Vaibhav got in because they wanted to prolong-

Felt so normal, and then I just lifted my eye line that, that little bit and, [laughs] and noticed this crowd of 2,000 people.

I was like, "Yeah, it's, it's not any other day." And then I looked to my left and, and there's Bumrah and Shreyas and VVS Laxman.

I'm like, yeah, it's, it's definitely not any other day.

And, um, those are the moments I think that'll stay with me, and along with, um, talking about sort of trying to [laughs] trying to get your head around what was happening in the days leading up to it and on the day itself.

It was a moment of, you know, proper friendship between the two countries.

Um, bringing people together that would, as we've already touched on, would, would never otherwise be sharing a, a cricket field.

Um, and I think the, the importance of the occasion had really been, been put onto the, the playing group by VVS Laxman and, and his, his management staff.

And I think the players had already taken it on board and were, were really, really great.

He found the YouTube I couldn't find.

So back to Brad Williams bowling to VVS Laxman, bowling absolute gas to him in that one-day final, taking his off stump out of the ground and going fucking mental.

That's the only way to describe it.

Running up to Laxman, thoroughly in keeping with that piece that was on the CA website that, uh, Adam Burnett wrote that we referenced last week, which I went back to read, and every person in that article that was quoted saying how fierce Williams was.

Uh, anything else that, uh...

Uh, what happened to VVS Laxman? I am told VVS could be, uh, could be getting some major post in Indian cricket.

And it-

I'm still being told that.
