The last sentence in the statement,:Now even Ireland can beat Australia" shows what a cheap and street level thinking this man Gavaskar has.He has always muttered more rubbish than sense.So,this is nothing new.We all know what an attention grabber he has always been.
And,what does he mean by saying that Indian cricket was filled with optimism at the time Chappell took over.We had just got thrashed comprehensively by Pakistan on home ground in the one-dayers and held to a draw in the test seires by an under strength Pakistan.We couldn't even bat out half a day in Bangalore to save the test and win the series.As usual let down by the ever final innings consistent Sachin Tendulkar.
Gavaskar is just attacking Chappell to compliment Sachin's tirade against him.The Mumbai cricket mafia at work again.
