If there is one person who is extremely well qualified to talk about Indian cricket, then it is Sunil Manohar Gavaskar!! Those who think otherwise do not know have an iota of knowledge of Indian cricket!! I'am yet to come across an individual who has qualms about Gavaskar saying anything about Indian cricket and has also come out with concrete facts as to why it is so!! So, if you are just yapping aimlessly, then fine, any inddividual can sit any corner of the earth at some cyber terminal and write crap!! Do you think that diminishes the greatness of Gavaskar? Do you think it changes the fact that he is the greatest opening batsman of all time?? Show me one other opening batsman who has the average of sunny Gavaskar!! And that average of 52 against the best fast bowlers and that too without a helmet!! Take a bow Sunny!! Michael holding, Joel Garner, colin Croft, andy Roberts and Marshall from WI!! (13 hundreds against the best from WI) Lillee, Pascoe, thompson, Hogg, Dymock from Australia!! Willis, Hendrick, old, Dilley, Arnold, Snow from England!! Hadlee, Collinge from NZ!! Imran, Sarfraz, Sikander Bakht from Pakistan!!
All of them with scorching electrifying pace!! Had Gavaskar played in this era of benign pitches and average fast bowling, he would have averaged more than 60 easily!! Need to put things in right perspective!! How many bowlers of today belong to the above mentioned breed?? Bond, akhtar, Lee, Mcgrath, Flintoff, Ntini, thats it really!! Harmison, hoggard and Pollock do not have electrifying pace!! Learn to come out with concrete facts before you try and knock a great like Sunny Gavaskar!!
