There have been several rants on the Deccan Chargers’s official website where fans through their web posts have vented their frustration over the dismal performance of their ‘once upon a time’ favourite cricketer. He is being called a total misfit in the T20 format and his decision to give Andrew Symonds the last over in the game against Rajasthan Royals has been severely criticised.
Sample these:
• After the last game with two topclass overs from Afridi and RP, VVS should have never let Symo take that over. I nearly smashed my TV. PLEASE DC MANAGEMENT, send VVS home .... put Gibbs in as a permanent replacement .... otherwise we’ll be known for one of the most expensive flops of the year!
• I have some interesting facts about Laxman. Laxman faced a total of 11763 balls (93 Test) until this day and had hit 794 fours and 4 sixes ... great isn’t it. That means he required about 15 overs to hit one four...don’t dream about 6s ... . maybe once in a blue moon. (Strike rate 49.17). Laxman faced a total of 3282 balls (86 ODIs ) and he hit 222 fours and 4 sixes ... that means he once again required about 15 overs to hit one four...don’t dream about 6s...he forgets a lot that it is an ODI.
When Laxman was asked about his dismal form on eve of his side’s game against Mumbai Indians he gave an unconvincing reply.
