p.1 Umpire to Cricketer about to hit him:
    Don't threaten me - you are incapable of hitting anything with that bat!

When the American cartoonist Ranan Lurie asked him who the best Indian
cartoonist was, Laxman flashed back, "I am." The second, third, fourth, fifth
best man on the job? Laxman continued to repeat, "I am."
