India Cricket News: VVS Laxman likely to announce retirement on Saturday | ESPN Cricinfo

About time tbh, been a very memorable career though, his wrists will be missed

That leg glance

 

[Days of Grace]

Thought of getting some cheap runs against NZ on flat decks before retiring, rather than ending it after the disgraceful showing against Australia, aye?

 

[Cricketismylife]

The type of player who highlights why test cricket will always be the ultimate. The type of player whose runs were almost always valuable to India. The type of player who would get out carelessly in a dead match. The type of player who can look like genius and schoolboy in the same over. The type of player who can hit Shane Warne's leg breaks all over the park, but get out to a Simon Katich full toss. The type of player who while not as good as Dravid or Sachin had something unqiue and offered something different to them.

Vvs Laxman you are a legend.

 

[Cruxdude]

Was a legend in his own right and his 281 rightfully is counted among the best innings ever played. Will miss his reassuring presence in the late middle order. Was such a gutsy player, sad that he goes out on the back of 8 overseas tests lost. Screaming at Ojha in the Mohali test will remain in memory for long. (A massive turnaround for him, considering how Sachin screamed at his running in that desert storm match)

Why hasn't Ponting retired till now then eh?

 

[NasserFan207]

Why hasn't Ponting retired till now then eh?

Because Australia has terrible young batsmen

 

[blahblahblah]

****
will miss him

 

[morgieb]

Gun player, even though he bashed Australia though. Will be missed

(although wasn't he supposed to retire after Australia?)

 

[Contra]

awe.. was hoping he'd stick around till the end of Aus series next year. Oh well, probably the right decision in the end. Closing off at his home ground would be pretty special. A 100 would be nice =D

VVSSSSSSSSSSSS

One of my favourites.

 

[kingkallis]

Will be remembered for 281, 167 and this

Gun player, really!

 

[Spark]

Legendary.

 

[Spark]

Retired with immediate effect

Vale VVS.

 

[Cevno]

Should have played the first test atleast in Hyderabad.

Legend.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Measure of the man that he doesn't feel the need for a goodbye Test even though it'd already been granted. Wonderful player. Even better guy.

That Indian middle order just looks so much less imposing without him.

 

[morgieb]

So he isn't playing at all? That has to be sad for Hyberdad

 

[Jager]

Who's going to replace him?
