Laxman’s 281 one of the best innings in Test history - Jason Gillespie

The Hindu  

As umpire S. K. Bansal gave Glenn McGrath out lbw on the last day of the 2001 Eden Gardens Test between India and Australia, 100,000 spectators revelled in unbridled, full-throated jubilations. But even as Dravid and Laxman’s counterattack began wresting the initiative from a rampant opposition, Gillespie said Australia believed it was still very much in the contest. RELATED | Laxman relives 'unreal' Kolkata heroics Laxman, a regular tormentor of Australia for a decade, dealt with the spin threat of Shane Warne with such timing and elegance that former Test captain Ian Chappell later labelled his performance “the best playing of spin bowling I’ve seen.” For Gillespie, it was a flash of deja vu as Laxman approached his double hundred. It’s a good discussion!” Change of strategy Gillespie feels the 2001 series set the template for future Australian teams to win in India.
