Re: Gavaskar points finger at Chappell
WHy are Indians like this, I mean this guy is not somebody who sits in galli and is discussing cricket while sharing a smaoke with rest of people from mohallah, this guy is a legend, the greatest asian batsman to play this game, the person who faced the best of bowlers in world, the person whose technique is world praised.
How come he thinks that team India was good enough to be #1???
I have never seen Team india good enough tobe anyway near to be #1 spot, and i am sure gavaskar knows cricket better than i do…i can get carried away by seeing one or two good performances and can declare that my team is good enough to be # 1, but Mr Gavaskar should nt be like this, he should know things better, he should know that for a teamto be # 1, its gootta perform on more than one or two serieses…and every time Mr Gavaskar or Mr Shastri open their mouth with such claims…it just surprises me (as a person of average cricket knowledge).
On the other hand i realize that this mentality of a great cricketer reflects on how the whole nation thinks about cricket, how one or two performces can make people feel like that they can be # 1 and this makes them day-dream about it…and this one of the reasons i think that Team India has performed the way they have performed against Pak since for ever.
anybody with any other view, please enlighten me!
