Well, frankly it's ridiculous.

We We Ess Latchman. I shouldn't have to hear that. I pay enough money. Sounds like Jonathon Ross.

And no, Mr. Bucket, I don't know where the wabbit went.

What are his stats like against the Aussies?

In order:

Brian Lara
VVS Laxman
Sachin Tendulkar
Kevin Pietersen

There's obviously going to be a lot more scope for Pietersen to improve on his record though. You'd expect him to add 15-25 more Tests on top of his current 10, and maybe even more if the whining, money-grabbing Aussies get their way and we have 6 Test Series in the future.

Regarding Laxman, I pronounce it as vee-vee-esh-lacksh-man. When you say it reasonably fast it rolls off the tongue gorgeously.

esh? Mimicking Sean Connery Augustus?

The actual real way to pronounce it is: vee-vee-yes-lucksh-mun, where the last two 'u' sounds are the same, and as in 'nun'.
