Switchblade Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Quote https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/sunil-gavaskar-reminds-ravi-shastri-of-india-s-past-overseas-record/story-oHSGwmKVyxuqBUEeLP3CsO.html Gavaskar, once a teammate and captain of Shastri, recalled some of the series wins abroad by Indian teams of the past. “All I can say is that no Indian team has won in Sri Lanka for a long time. But we have won in the West Indies, in England, Test matches in Australia and South Africa,” Gavsakar told ‘India Today’ on Thursday. What I can say is that teams in 1980s have won in England and West Indies. Rahul Dravid also won series in West Indies in 2005, in England in 2007 and captained when India beat South Africa for the first time (in South Africa). “Dravid gets very little credit for his leadership and his team’s wins. There have been teams who have won overseas.” “Lack of footwork has hurt Indian batsmen, they are not getting to the pitch of the ball against Moeen Ali. This comes from playing too much of white ball cricket, in one-dayers you won’t have four slips when pacers are bowling and you can hit through the line.” “I think that’s something that needs to be looked at by the end of the series. During the series, I understand saying that we are still good to keep morale up. There is still one Test to go. A real assessment has to be made on September 12, when series ends,” Gavaskar said on the eve of the fifth and final Test. “I believe you can play Prithvi Shaw, there is no harm in playing him as an opener.” Edited September 6, 2018 by Switchblade Link to comment

Number Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 BCCI mouthpiece Gavaskar is also one of the reasons we are in the mess. He should just shut up. Switchblade and ThePhenomenal1 1 1 Link to comment

Kohli wanted Shastri & he got it. Trio was just there for name & everyone knew shastri will be appointed when kumble was sacked as coach. Forever Indian 1 Link to comment
