The Lone Warrior - Laxman
Venkatesh Prasad survives a run-out. He and Laxman produced a last wicket stand of 42 runs. Laxman showed that he too can bat as well as Steve Waugh with a number 11. Farming the strike initially, he encouraged Prasad, and gradually allowed him more of the strike once the tailender grew in confidence. In the process, he demonstrated to his mates back in the hut what some application, some heart can achieve.
