VVS Laxman hits another double hundred against Australia
‘VVS Laxman. How would you rate this among your double hundreds against Australia?’
‘I would say it was the worst’.
No-one asked that really, because everyone knows Laxman’s 281 at Eden Gardens is his best innings.
With six hundreds against them and an average of 54, Australia must hate VVS Laxman. After 200 not out today, Brad Haddin’s well on the way to building up the kind of unnatural familiarity with Laxman’s right-hand side that Adam Gilchrist already enjoys.
When we were watching the match, we were struck by the phrase: ‘And there’s a bowling change, Simon Katich replacing Ricky Ponting.’
You know the Australian attack’s not what it was when they pick five bowlers and that utterance can still come about.

Never mind Laxman, Flat-Track-Big-Head-Bully has been a great big girl again:
[from Cricinfo, about bees invading the pitch]
“Ishant, fielding at the fine-leg boundary, was the only brave man standing. Sachin Tendulkar, covering his ears with his hat, sported a bee-tific smile, and Hayden rolled on the grass like a child. Bowden tried to be brave and started moving first, but the bees put him back in his place. Sourav Ganguly was, as expected, the last one to get up once the bees went away. All in all, what a bee-mer.
