Aye, sad news indeed.
Let's hope he makes a full recovery - though frankly I doubt his return to the international stage will beckon ... what with BanIndia's "new" talent and all that !!!

He'll be back. He's going to be better than Sobers.

Obviously he hasnt achieved the same success as Sobers, but I really think it's time India considered dropping Laxman from the test team and playing Yuvraj. He gives India an X factor not just with his batting, but he's very good in the field as well.

His time has come.

As long as he's just better, I think everyone would be more than happy.

A) "Reminiscent" being the key word.

B) Never do I say "better than".

C) "Obviously he hasn't achieved the same success as Sobers."- FACT

D) My comment about Laxman stands.

But not the best thread to re-hash it in, perhaps.

Agree with Dello - hope the treatment works.

Cancer is a damn scary diagnosis, whatever the prognosis. The best of luck to him.

Didn't his cousin post on the old ABC Forum a bit back in the day?

Gutsy stuff from Yuvi. Good luck to the man. The news sounds promising.

he seems to have lost quite a bit of weight. at least he seems positive

that should probably be the end of his chain-smoking days as well. lucky for him it got detected relatively early
