Steve waugh: No one can match his commitment. The way he took balls on the stomach so that he doesn't pull (as he didn't want to get out, as pull is one of his weak links) was just awesome, that too while facing Ambrose and Donald in their prime.Mind you getting hit at those speeds must be painful! There are countless examples .....few of them which come to my mind are against England in edbagston where he scored 180 odd to save the test with a pulled muscle and once again against the same opponent scoring a hundred with a broken finger!! BTW, his autobiography has been released .Hopefully, will read it soon.
Brian Lara: Absolute class. will pay anything to watch a Lara century. The most dreaded batsman of Muralitharan, warne, Mcgrath and many more bowlers........Most memorable matches against Australia in west Indies where he played out of his skin to level the series......Brian lara1-1Australia. Characterized by his high backlift and his complete domination of spin bowlers even in Sri lanka where he scored around 800 runs in a 3 match test series...Almost opposite of Steve waugh full of class but performance depends on mood.
VVS Laxman: very very special laxman... hyderabadi :)....Such a joy to watch his soft touches....like an artist creating some beautiful painting...his innings seem so effortless....unforgettable innings 167 against aus in sydney and 283 against aus in eden gardens....its so sad that such a great batsman is treated so shabbily by the selectors...he changed the fortune of sourav ganguly and the Indian team by the innings he played at eden gardens......can hit any ball along any line to the midwicket fence!! due to his wonderful wrists (all hyderabadis are born with it !)
