The century that changed Laxman's career (and no, it's not that one!)



Barring the "blip" in England over the summer, it's been a great year for Indian cricket, and it's fair to say we've got the Windies on the ropes in the 2nd Test at Kolkata. Laxman's love affair with Eden Gardens continued with his fifth Test century there in 10 matches, adding to Dravid's fifth Test century of the year from yesterday. And if fading light hadn't curtailed play we probably would've grabbed another wicket. I still reckon we can win it by Thursday. To think they said we'd lost our appetite for Tests...

Just a shame the WC has been kicked into the long grass. Not that anybody is remotely surprised...

Yeah that was a stupid decision but what else did we expect? I was really looking forward to the 2013 matches, especially if India took part. Tendulkar and Laxman will not have an opportunity to add themselves to the Lord's Honours Board.
