http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772 wants to rectify by good showing against Windies – Cricket News Update
Indian Test batsman, VVS Laxman said that the team will look to rectify the failures of their England tour when they face the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 at home in the forthcoming Test series.
The Men In Blue faltered badly at the hands of Poms, where they remained winless throughout the tour, which first included at 4-0 drubbing in the longer-version of the game. In an utterly disappointing batting performance, only once the team managed to score
300 in any inning, which came in the final Test match at Oval.
Laxman’s own form was poor on the tour, where he could amass 220 runs in 8 outings, at a below-par average of 22.75, with the best score of 56.
This led the sub-continent giants surrender their no 1 test rank status, and the veteran is keen to make amends when the team plays the Caribbean outfit in the series, which starts from November 6.
"It is going to be an important series against the West Indies, especially after the dismal time we had in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013. We want to come back strongly and regain the top position. We had worked hard during the last three to four years to get there," Laxman told
while talking to Times of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
When talked about the disastrous tour of the Poms and the frailties associated with it, Laxman felt that the whole team was disappointment about the manner in which they were defeated, however, feels that the break he had will hopefully hold him in good
stead for the upcoming assignment.
“No one expected us to perform in that manner in England. It was a disappointing show. But we have done our introspection and have looked at the failures and will rectify those in the coming series," added Laxman.
The 37-year-old, however, was happy to see his side thrash their opponents 5-0 on home soil in the ODI series. The Men In Blue under their influential captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 stood up to the task and inflicted misery of an equivalent degree to the
English contingent and Laxman, now feels that the responsibility lies with the Test team to come up with the goods.
