Re: Other than abusing GORAs what has Gavaskar done?

Gavaskar has had run ins with fellow indians because of his huge ego..
Prime example are his run ins with Raj Singh Dungarpur a few years ago when they both accused each other of being worthless in their posts and Gavaskar offered to resign and insisted Raj Singh to do the same His run ins with Kapil was causing so much rift in Team India that KAPIL V GAVASKAR was the worst fight between two super stars of one team..i dont remember any team have so much infighting than that,there were favorite players for both and every time each of them took over as captain their favorites would come to team India.. Kapil had Chetan Sharma,Shivlal Yadav,Ashok Malhotra etc Gavaskar had his share like Ravi Shastri(who got established only cause of Gavaskar),Chetan Chauhan who didnt score a single century despite being a opener but had a decent career thanks to Gavaskars support Krish Srikanth use to chamcha both Kapil and Gavaskar and benefited Azhar was Kapils buddy and he returned the favor by keeping Kapil till he broke his world record
Once in Sharjah 1997 Azhar got runout Gavaskar in the commentary box lost his cool and said Azhar is playing as if hes having no tomorrow,Sachin was captain so Sunny couldnt control his anger as he felt Azhars irresponsible play is costing his dear Sachin his captaincy,for that remark Azhar gave it back to Sunny then they pacified
Gavaskar is a hot headed Hypocrite who wishes only his loved ones play the game.

Accusing all goras of being biased is as equal to assuming all Mumbaitees are like Raj Thackerey hating every other indian or all tamilians are like Veerapan. So guys dont fall for this Gavaskars hate game that he plays over the past 2 decades since he retired.his hatred is deep rooted out of sheer jealousy and inferiority complex. Not all goras are great,neither are they all bad...gavaskar lobby has only bad things to say about Ponting because they are jealous that Ponting has what Sachin dont have,that is 3 wcups medals(he was in team that won wcup in 1999,was captain in two wcup wins without losign a single game) for those who judge Ponting on him claiming bump catches go watch dhoni claiming one in England ,its in utube..so remember no one is a saint in international cricket,gone are the days of Gundappa Viswanath...

quite an interesting analysis, but this is truly out of place and even irrelevant as Gavaskar is a retired cricketer of yester years
what happened to yuvraj's fitness. is he eating more or doing other things? before champions trophy he was injured. his injury incidents have increased recently. india must prepare a player of yuvraj's calibre. if he get injured before 2011 world cup then india's chances of winning the world cup will get a big blow.virat kohli is a get option and he must get enough chances
