Patron Saint of Indian Cricket

Miracles do happen!!!

No. I am not talking about Ayodhya or even Common Wealth Games getting off smoothly.

I am talking about the sensational victory pulled off by VVS  Laxman, Ishant Sharma and Pragyan Ojha in the First Test at Mohali. Down and out at 124 for 8, with VVS crippled with a bad back, no one would have given even a long odds for India to score 92 more runs. But they did!!! Terrific.

What is it about VVS that sees him pull off improbable feats against Australia? The Aussies must be bloody tired of seeing him deny them time and again, bad back or no bad back.

VVS really ranks to be up there as one of the greatest match winners India has produced. Even greater as a match winner than Sachin, with due respects to Sachin.

Any day when we put across Aussies is a good day, but this one is really special. This would mentally disintegrate the so called tough Aussies no end. That pleases me quite a bit.

Let us raise three cheers to the Patron Saint of Indian Cricket - VVS Lakshman
