Laxman has to go.
by Truth Seeker on Apr 25, 2008 07:46 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Laxman hasn't played well, and has been a liability to the team so far. Laxman is not leading by example. His decisions have been very bad. How could he give the last over to Symonds when he didn't bowl well in the previous overs? He has to be replaced by someone who can play and be an inspiration in Twenty20 format of the game.

Laxman's leadership skills, especially after his poor performance through out this tournament so far, has been a topic of debate and would remain so. He's not able to gel with the team and is really not seen confident with his fielding options at some time. Yesterday also, symonds helped him out with some of the fielding settings. He's hardly seen in the national ODI squad and how come you pic such a guy for the T20 format, he's trully not familiar with the whole concept and the urgency with which this format of the game is played. He has to go and Symonds or Gilly should be given the captaincy for a change.

Both are valid points and must be noted. Gilly as Captain sounds very good.
