Another part of

the great batting quartet retires. Well, now all we will have is Tendulkar.

Laxman was a great contributor to Indian cricket victories. He played THE Innings by an Indian batsman; I think it will take a lot to beat that innings. He played many great ones too in chasing totals which is something none of the Indian batsman have mastered, By retiring the way hed did he ha sent out a message to the selectors that they are not planning for the future. It is unfortunate that players have to retire to force the selectors to make changes. 

Anyway, for today it is goodbye to VVS Laxman, a soft spoken Hyderabadi who made batting look elegant and easy at the same time. Probably he is the last specialist test batsman from India.
