So all you geniuses who accused Laxman of exposing the tail and comparing him to Misbah see him exposing the tail today? WTF? If batsmen from number 7 cannot even defend and rotate a strike at test level and score atleast 10 runs each, what are we talking about beating Australia? Even McGrath stays around for an hour. Don't blame it on the eternal fall guys of Indian cricket(South Indian cricketers) for everything wrong with the team. The same Harbhajan and Zaheer scored many runs at this position in the post. If they bat stupid now, it's not Lakshman's fault.

I absolutely agree with you cosmopolitan desi,we are trying to compete Aussie down under in less than 2months & do we call this performance to beat them,that to on there own soil. Lets get our thinking right & stop blaming VVS. Lets not think big of asking tail enders to score runs big time but atleast let them learn that their wicket is not a cheap commodity that could be given away after facing couple of deliveries.

Sorry mates, I m from India & I feel Laxman dint played well in first innings. As a senior player he shd be facing maximum deliveries & score single on 5 or 6th ball of an over. I was really shocked to see Laxman taking single in first ball of an over & letting his partner (tailender) at mercy of Bowler. Best players I have seen in these situation was 1. Inzamam, 2. Lara 3. Imran Khan. Here I m not criticising one wrong shot by batsman & throwing his wicket but on temprament of a player. I hope Kumble will point this to Middle order batsmen.
