Media would have not done this if Laxman were Sachin!!

If a poor person becomes rich, will he live like poor?
Every one start the carrier with least pay and gets what he/she deserves, the life style changes yaar. No body wants to live with past. Just enjoy today. Dont think that way. Who knows If Sachin were Laxman this wouldn't have happened.. 

Yeah true ! But the fact remains that Laxman performs once in a bluemoon and sachin performs almost every time he steps out. Therein lies the difference. This doesnt mean to belittle laxmans efforts on that day but playing international cricket, that is what you are supposed to do. 
This is the problem that confronts indian sport where we live with the memories of that one victory for rest of the lifetime. We do not move forward and challenge oursleves to greater heights. This is true for individual sportsmen as well as our national teams. Let me draw your attention to how australia selects it teams. They do not go on previous history of a player. They select their team based on the immediate past performance and on the form on that day. 

absolutely right

Himanshu this cruel world always forget the past.

HIMAMSHU is right.LAXMAN and DRAVID has played many vital roles but not aknowledged

You are right...Himanshu
The only reason you are making debate out of it is because India is not showing       its class in world cup...

You are absolutely right

I totaly agree with you. Laxman has never got his due. He has been part of so many victories but his glory lasted for that particular day. 
Media create hype around some players only because they know, it will sell. There are less takers for Laxman in our country thus they don't speak about him. 

Good observation.

You are right... At least a lone voice hailing Laxman's greatness.
