It has been said all over the media today and would no doubt be repeated several times in the future : "VVS Laxman can't bat with the tail." Agreed, that line of thinking has some merit given some of Laxman's recent performances with the tail, in particular the early part of yesterday's play.
What is glossed over is that these tail-enders pretty much threw away their wicket in what Arun Lal would call a "jiffy" before Laxman had a chance to get his eye in. Yes, he was batting 50+ overnight, but it can always be tough to start on a new day. And when he did get that time, he again played some exquisite strokes. Great partnership with Anil Kumble. If India manage to save the match tomorrow, that's where Pakistan will look back to where it all went wrong.
What a costly miss that could yet prove to be by Kamran Akmal !!
