SMG takes out against Chappell without addressing the fundamental issues. Why SMG is refusing to address sponsor-agent related issues? Why is SMG refusing to address special clauses in contracts of certain players that rewards them if they stay longer at the crease, why is SMG failing to address about a certain player playing too slow in the world cup after repeated instructions were spent out. Yeah right Blame it on GC.
Mr. SMG...you got to have right set of players for a captain or coach to maximize the performances of the team. Our team was made up of Unfit players, selfish players and players playing for the sake of money etc. This is what our WC team was. I know if you talk about all these things, you will become unpopular. So blame it on the coach. Poor you SMG.
In your playing days, we all know how selfish you were. Who will forget the way you promoted and brought in all Mumbai players that includes Suru Nayak and Gulam Parkar. Shastri was never a bowler and he got selected to NZ as a bowler over injured Dilip Doshi. Let us not forget your 36 not out. What a way Venkat was removed and you become the captain. If you had any heart, you should have said no and let Venkat continue as a captain. Your contribution to Indian Cricket during your post retirement is almost Nil.
To SOME EXTENT SMG - you destroyed Indian Cricket. You have no right to talk about someone else doing it. I can understand if GRV or Mohinder Amarnath talks about someone destroying Indian Cricket....NOT YOU.

Gavaskar was the most boring player along with Geoff Boycott.he only flourished on dead docile pitches.This also when the matches were were devoid of any competitive fight from opposition especially when the match was destined for dull draws.One or just two good brilliant innings are played even by a bit and pieces players.Gavaskar was accumulator of insignificant innings in dull drawn matches.Who can forget the record no win test sequence under Gavaskar's captaincy.In 1983 world cup basically Gavaskar was even dropped for some matches.His innings did not turn around the outcome of any match.
