VVS Laxman signs for Lancashire

[DPRA]

Lancashire County Cricket Club is delighted to announce the signing of Indian Batsman VVS (Vangipurappu) Laxman as the club's Overseas Player for the 2009 season.

This will be Laxman?s second stint with the Red Rose County, his first being a fruitful 4-week spell at the end of the 2007 season which saw him score 541 runs in 8 matches, with a first-class average of 54.28.

Subject to final approval from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Laxman is expected to be available one week after his IPL (Indian Premier League) commitments conclude and will remain with Lancashire until the end of the 2009 domestic season.

Its great news this, I really did like the look of him playing for us last time.

He should just skip the IPL. Not like he offers much in Twenty20 cricket anyway.

 

[Cricketman]

Fantastic. Laxman is class.

 

[Animator!]

He'll either be amazing, or utter balls. Or both in equal measure, which I feel is whats going to happen.

Feel a lot better about Stuey Law leaving us now, let's hope he can score consistently.

I'm not that confident tbh. He doesn't strike me as being the ideal replacement for Stuey Law.

I'm sure it's more of a case of what IPL offers him

Mugabe is a legend.

 

[GrayNicolls]

He's better at cricket than Laxman.

The way he's going I wouldn't be surprised if he had his contract terminated.

Doubt it. The new DC owners are rediculously pro Laxman :happy:
