Instead of blaming others, why can't Gavaskar do something to improve matters. It is very easy to cast aspersions, but with his stature and all knowing approach and words, please step forward and then you will really know, action could a blt more difficult than words chastising others.
When Boycott was jumping up and down at not being made captain, the selectors had to let out a secret - we wanted to make you a captain long back, but we could not find 10 other players to play under you.
If Gavaskar wants to take up a responsible pro-active appraoch, our super stars will make life a little difficult for him. He can lose his shirt within days.
Obviously, he restricts himslf like others to backroom safe approach.
