Mr.Gavaskar, Will You Shut Up Plea......se
by Vikatakavi on Mar 24, 2007 06:35 PM

Firstly, as ponting rightly said, you never shown interest to be involved with the cricket in india. Rather you chose to be a critic as a useless commentator throwing stones at others and lobbying for mumbai and for your son to keep him in Ranji circuit.(You can plead any association for that matter from Kashmir to Kerala as long as they keep him in their Ranji Team). And you don't also say a word about Dada or Dalmiya, coz that might ruin your LADLA's prospects since he is now representing Bengal in Ranji, despite his poor performance.

Atleast this time i was expecting you to say something critical about Sachin(I had been a life long fan of sachin), who dumped us. Rather, you decided to shamelessly put the blame on Greg. What can a coach do when all the frontline batsman don't even pay their normal game. Infact, bringing in Greg in my opinion actually helped team india a better fielding team than before if not anything else. And only a foreign coach can mend and bend these lazy guys. We already tried with Kapils/Gaekwads etc., and achieved nothing. So please don't make team india again a team who also can't field.

Look at IHF, who headed by KPS Gill (with all the hype as supercop, discipline and so on), promised so many things and none of them could be realized even with younger players. None of the indian coaches neither have the physical fitness nor the tactics to make them compete with European teams.

I don't mind if you don't want to help the indian team, but atleast stay away from them, and don't make any stupid remarks. Also tell your buddy Ravi Shastry that all of this applicable to him too.
