It seems Gavaskar has been hit where it hurts him most %u2013 his protégé Sachin has been axed.
He would always make light of Sachin%u2019s dismissal or his poor form, and find some excuse to explain it. But now he has had to shed his boring diplomatic façade to cry foul.
It is not to say that whatever that rogue Chappell did was right. In fact Chappell%u2019s shenanigans from day one spelt nothing but disaster for Indian cricket.
Never mind whatever was happening with Indian cricket, Gavaskar chose to keep quiet all these days because his protégé was not affected.
Gavaskar was also well aware that some senile scamps in the BCCI (with whom he is chummy with) blindly supported Chappell. But now it is a different story. Sachin has been excluded, and rightly so. The Mumbai man is unable to digest that, and he has started bewailing.
Anyway, BCCI is being run by incompetent people like Pawar who have to depend on crooks and fools around him to run the show; and when there is a coterie of crooks and fools there can be only one thing %u2013 chaos and downfall.
Chief Selector Vengie tells media that BCCI Chief asked him to select the %u2018best team%u2019, where as the moron Niranjan Shah had told him that a %u2018young%u2019 was needed to be chosen. Is the squad chosen %u2018young%u2019 or %u2018best%u2019 by any stretch of imagination?
But the shrewd Gavaskar studiously avoids blaming the incompetent Pawar and his cronies because some of them are either from Mumbai or western region.
This short statured Mumbaikar does not mention the name of the accomplice of that schmuck Chappell %u2013 Rahul Dravid. Dravid first licked Chappell%u2019s boots (after he got captaincy by default) to save his chair; now he is shamelessly sucking up on BCCI Chief to keep his captain%u2019s position.
Frankly, Dravid is an excellent batsman but as a captain he is utterly useless. His incompetence as a captain has been exposed umpteen number of times. But neither Gavaskar nor the malicious, senile BCCI people are willing to speak about it.
After WC debacle, Dravid should have been stripped of his captaincy but, no, he is still there because he is willing to be an accomplice to his masters%u2019 tricks and charade.
India has always been let down and destroyed by the selfish agenda driven bootlicking unpatriotic people. In Chappell%u2019s case, India repeated itself.
