How good is Sanga?

[AldoRaine18]

The one point which many people on here against Sanga that he's "robotic" or doesn't have much flair, I just can't believe that at all. The guy's batting is pure *** for the eyes and I'll be watching his innings on YouTube years from now, that I can guarantee. People who can't see the aesthetic quality of his batting must be some jaded ****s.

He's aesthetically amazing to watch but aura is something different. VVS Laxman is aesthetically amazing, but has zero aura, for example.

To answer the OP, very.

He's aesthetically pleasing no doubt; but I find Jayawardene more aesthetically pleasing when on song on a road.

Laxman went super saiyan against the aussies repeatedly. Lax didn't lack aura.

Yeah maybe he didn't have as much of an aura as some of the greats when he strode out to the crease but zero?

Pedantic lot, youse.

O RLY.

Actual quotes from Aussie(and some non-Aussie) CW posters, who predicted he'd win India the game from a hopeless position, and duly did so (Mohali 2010):

Laxman to go coco-bananas here and get India home in a thriller.

Also, if Laxman gets India home, with a bad back, on a dodgy pitch, after all he's put us through against him, then I think we should refuse him entry to the country for the rest of his life. Cancel any visa, put up "WANTED" posters everywhere, had enough!

As long as VVS is there, Australia still has to be ****ing their pants. He goes from good to GOD against them.

Not calling this as anyone's game while Laxman is still in there. How does it manage to do it against us, every damn time!??

This, will breath easier when we take the 9th wicket/once Laxman goes.

Laxman has some kind of super power that only involves Australia.

I don't get laxman? Is he some kind of terminator sent into the future to destroy Australia? Does he possess some kind of divine knowledge they we don't have?

VVS, as stated, is not a man but some sort of Australia-crushing run-scoring alien construct.

Laxman's gonna **** us again... I can feel it.

That's ****-your-pants-when-he's-batting aura right there.

Dunno seems like you are confusing things. Theyre referring to his previous performances, what's that got to with having aura?

It's funny that I am debating whether VVS Laxman has aura on the field. Sachin has aura. Lara has aura. Ponting has aura. Steve Waugh has aura. Keith Miller has aura. VVS Laxman, simply does not.

coz the aussies were terrified of him because they knew he'd deliver in a clutch situation and **** them up. Is that not part of one's aura?

You are arguing for the sake of here. I was merely giving an example there in the first place, no need to dig out a thousand quotes to contradict it, as if I was stating some scientific fact. My point simply was that you can be aesthetically pleasing yet not have the aura that is being talked about when talking about the likes of Sachin, Viv, etc. You've taken the discussion into a completely unnecessary direction.

I found reading and digging up those quotes from the match thread extremely entertaining btw

Yeah OS, how dare you try to decipher what AldoRaine actually means and provide evidence for your stance instead of just letting him get away with airy fluff words that don't really mean anything to mask the subjective nature of his preferences.

 

[weldone]

I agree with the fact that being aesthetically pleasing and oozing aura are 2 different things.

Lara was aesthetically pleasing and he had aura.

Shahid Afridi has aura, but isn't aesthetically pleasing.

Parthiv Patel is aesthetically pleasing to an extent, but he had no aura.

Shiv Chanderpaul had neither.

Do you guys always behave like this? Can't have a sensible discussion here or what? Jesus.

wtf, Laxman definitely had an aura. Consistent ridiculous performances against the best team of his era.

Don't agree with Chanderpaul. **** definitely had an 'well I'm not getting out today' aura.
