Cricket, Lovely Cricket
I know Laxman has a huge following and I am one of them. But it is my opinion that no one could flick the ball off his wrists as Azhar could. His placements were simply stunning.
Forget the match fixing and compare the two players. Whom would you rate higher 5 years down the line? Laxman has still a lot left to achieve in his career but will he be rated alongside Azhar?
Azhar's average is 45, not great but not unimpressive either. Laxman has had an inconsistent career which is finally achieving potential after he was dropped in the World Cup 2003.
The two are pretty similar in a lot of the strokes they play. But Laxman has a wider range of shots which doesnt mean much when you see Azhar playing for India so well for so long.
Who do you think will be rated higher 5 years down the line?
