What a loser
by on Apr 26, 2007 03:21 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Gavaskar is the biggest loser in cricket. The arm chair critic that as always will sit on the sidelines but never contribute. Mr Gavaskar was emplyed as a batting consultant (all care no responsibility role) the last time Australia toured India in 2004 and defeated India. John Wright the then coach was not told of Gavaskar's appointment. Gavaskar did not have an impact as India lost the series. He continued his all care and no responsibility role with the ICC when they had the super series in Australia in 2005. The ICC team performed very poorly. Gavaskar had a good time. And this guy has the hide to criticise Chappell. He is now part of a BCCI committee to select a new coach for India. Good luck BCCI and India. As long as Gavaskar is involved with Indian cricket in any capacity, the game will go further back from where it stands at present. Further it's a joke when he criticises Chappell and the Australian team. Sour grapes mate. It's easy to sit and criticise when you don't have a meaningful role to play. Ireland beating Australia if Chappell is given the job of heading up the Australian cricket centre of excellence. I can confidently tell you that, India will go further back as long as Gavaskar is around. Get a life mate.

I fully agree with you friend. Gavaskar became Dalmiya's puppet becuse he wanted his son to play for Bengal and he still bats for Dalmiya and Bengal by backing Ganguly blindly and foolishly. If he has the cheeks to crticize chappel, then he should first criticize himself and Ganguly as Chappel was their choice. Gavaskar was part of the commitee that selected Chappel on Mr. Ganguly's reccomendation. So if there is logic is Chappel is to be belamed then both Ganguly and Gavaskar should also be penalised and Gavaskra should be associated with new coach selection commitee. He very convineintly avoided to criticize Tendulkar and other Indian batsmen but blamed Chappel straightaway. But any right thinking person will know Chappel was unbiased and a hard taskmaster which these tame chapaloos people like Ganguly did not like. They were used to be treated as Maharajas under the wings of Dalmiya. If Ganguly was not part of the team for the world cup and a few other selection changes as per Dravid and chappel, the results would ahve been dofferent. But thanks to so called critics like Gavaskar, we lost to Bangladesh but still these people have enough moral courage to single out Chappel for eevrything. Keep it up Gavaskars. You are the true patriots in true colors. Buck up. All the best. T
