Very Very Special man of Indian Cricket (Laxman) retired....

...first Ganguly ...then Dravid and now Laxman.Sachin is in the line next.God save Indian Test Team without these FAB FOUR of Indian cricket.... ....of the four Laxman had the greatest style and his second innings average is much better compared to the other three...his flicks were breathtaking to watch and the grace with which he used to play was awesome... HATS OF TO ONE OF THE GREATEST SONS OF INDIAN CRICKET...cant imagine a classy player like him who can play cricket for India in the near future.. The timing of his retirement is surprising as he was selected for the NZ tour but you never know what transpires within the board , the captain and the men involved in running the BCCI...anyways wish him all the best in whatever he does

yes, VVS is really a special person and he is deserved for our appreciation. We never forget his great achievements in text cricket, lot of times, he stood as a single persons and hits a lot of runs to achieve the victory. Really we are missing a great player. Hope we will get another good player like him in the near soon and all the best for him

Two things come to me whenever I hear the name VVS Laxman. First is that dismal afternoon at Eden Gardens when all seemed lost for India and when Laxman walked into to take the stance, I had a foreboding here comes another pasting from Australia. That brooding turned into a slightly elated feeling the next day as there were hopes for India to save the match. That changed into an Euphoria the day after as Laxman went on change despair into his defining moment with the momentous 281 and along with Dravid chalked out the most unlikeliest of victories to put India on the roadmap towards no. 1 which we achieved after a decade of this event!! The second thing that comes to my mind is the fact that if there was any player that Aussies were ever afraid of then this was the one player. They literally were afraid of him, this guy just seemed to find something special whenever Australia came around be it a fighting 160 odd at sydney in a losing cause or the fabulous 281 in the turnaround at Eden Gardens. Aussies really hated the sight of this man and that was something that all of India simply loved. The soft spoken Hyderabadi simply turned to a devil when the Aussies were around. VVS thanks for the great cricketing moments that you have provided to us over the years. I have been lucky enough to see your entire international career starting with the debut fifty till your last match and I must say that I have loved every moment that I have seen you on the pitch. Of course, there have been frustrating moments when you threw your wicket away with the bowling at your mercy, but then there were sublime moments that only you could provide. All the best for your retirement. Cheers! Ram

I still remember that famous test victory against australia in eden gardens of kolkata.His great knock of 281 will be long remembered.I was a spectator of that match.He was called 'very very special'laxman due to some very special knocks in test cricket,specially some against aussies.We will miss you VVS.

VVS Laxman was one of the most reliable test cricket batsmen for India. We have seen a couple times that he rescue our team from the defeat by building up a partnership with the taolenders. I am sure that we will definitely miss a classic batsmen .

Why not he had to as BCCI is not considering him now and even more he is not performing well in the matches too. So retiring is best option for great player like VVS just as what Dravid did when he was least performing. By the way they have lot of money from IPL, so no worry for them.

Definitely, Indain cricket team has lost their one more jewel from the ir national cricket squad. Laxman is a kind of player which is very hard to find in any team. He is the real imploication of patience and style. It is hard for any bowler to bowl agianst him when he is in rythm because he will toos up any ball, even if it is a good one to the boundary, and that too all long through the ground himself. In my opinion there is no other player in world cricket who will play with his wrist so stylishly. Anyway, we will definitely miss his valuable knocks which used to help India to rise from any kind of crisis.

He has been a legend, especially against Aussies. Laxman was very special whenever India needed it, he loves to play in thore situations. India will really miss him.

for sure he is a brilliant character and played with so much charisma and wonderful gamestyle.who can ever forget the knock which he played against australia with rahul dravid and biligerent knock of 281 and rescued india from the jaws of defeat against australia and won the game for india.it will take so much long time for a man to step in his shoes.i had hoped that he had played the last test series against new zealand.but he called it a day soon.hats off to his unique game play

VVS Laxman has had a beautiful career in cricket. I salute him & I am sure India salutes him... I think he had the potential to play lots more cricket. But, I guess he made his decision. From what I understand there is a much deeper story to his retirement than the media is disclosing. I was reading the newspaper & the way they presented VVS was as if he was looking forward to play one more season of test cricket. Any ideas what it might be or what it is?? I will not be surprised if there is a deeper story to it... :)
