Gavaskar the Shameless Politician
by sreekumar radhakrishnan menon on Apr 23, 2007 08:43 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

In 1975 World Cup against England, England rattled up 334 for four in 60 overs against India.
And in reply Gavaskar made his infamous 36 not out in 60 overs. He played 174 balls hitting but a solitary boundary and India finished at a mocking 132 for two off 60 overs.

Gavaskar had differences with then Captian and this is the way he chose to make his point.

This shows how vindictive and mean he is, and Chappel not being his best of friend, now gets his attention.

And his son could'nt held his place in Mumbai or West Zone, and then he found a place in the Bengal Team. Now he is repaying 'Dada' for his help.

Everboady has a good day and a bad day in cricket. You should coment on gavaskar coment not on his performance. OK you tell me which decision of chappel was good.
Sehwag:- Performed very well in westindies tour. Chappel told to sehwag for come in down order.

Ganguly:- He had not performaed well in past.But his perfomace was quite OK at that time of point( talking about 2005).

Irfan pathan:- I have no need to tell about irfan pathan. He was trying to make him a good allrounder now he is taking wicket round(0).

Zaheer Khan:- He did not allow him to join india team after Vengasker effort he wasable to join india cricket team.

Sachin Tendulkar: - Change the batting order did not work for tendulkar.

Rahul dravid :- Captaincy is an extra burden for him

Kumble : - one of the victim of chapple.

Broke the team in two parts

If you don't like Gavaskar - that is fine.

But a lot of us have respect for his cricketing views. Indian team won the benson & hedges series in australia beating all other teams under his captaincy.
