For so long and so well has VVS Laxman played that we have paid him the ultimate compliment spectators can pay a performer — noticing him only when he fails, writes Suresh Menon in DNA.
Of the many things he has not been given credit for is filling the bowlers with the confidence to bat around him. Yesterday, while even Sachin Tendulkar played and missed, Laxman looked like he was batting on another planet altogether. One where the ball never spins, the bounce is always true and pacemen bowl short only to give him an opportunity to swivel and hook.
