Corridor of uncertainty.

In his playing days he was master at leaving the red cherry outside his off-stump, but these days he has got this bad habit of laying a hand on any thing and everything…and especially passing comments.

Is Sunny Gavaskar going over the top...?

His war of words with Cricket Australia is getting uglier day-by-day as most of the cricketing fraternity are getting against the Little Master...and rightly so. I guess his remark against the Aussie’s behavior on the filed was uncalled-for and then dragging the name of a departed soul was completely unacceptable.

His comments has really tarnished his rapport with not only some good friends he had in Australian Cricket but also with the community of cricket loving nation such as Australia. To be fair to Australia, they play the game hard and in right spirits and call the act of sledging as “mental disintegration”. Now if a player who can’t withstand these kinds of tactics has no right to take part in international cricket.

A few years back, I remember him commenting on the Kolkata (then Calcutta) crowd as “Uncivilized”. Consequences were that he had a really troublesome time dealing with them. I guess people should be very-very careful while speaking on a public platform and in media. I have noticed that he tries to impose his thoughts on one and all. There was this incident where one of our upcoming fast bowlers didn’t tuck his shirt in and didn’t comb his hair(believe me he was looking awful on the television) but to be fair on the new comer, he should have been given a friendly advice by the Little Master rather than passing comments on him on satellite TV.

He has a very enormous stature in the International cricketing arena and all these comments should not hamper his fan following. He gives opportunities to all and sundry to pass remarks on him, which can be avoided, for sure.

These words on Australian Cricket, David Hookes and for that matter Australia as a whole has definitely made the Aussies seethe with anger. It would be nice if the little master apologizes before anything more is said and written and in future keeps a watch on what he says in public.
