Sunil Gavaskar is such a pathetic man, just listen to him

Fail to understand the importance of hair on one’s head, why do people care so much. Samsons all of them. Super powers in your hair!

What I fail to understand is if it's super powers why get a transplant after you retire . Well I do know the answer to that but not for ICfers ears

Tattie you have never told us if you are a batsman or bowler?

 

let me guess being a scot player a bit and pieces  of both as they say with optional fielding on Sundays

Lalchand also did a hair transplant ala Sehwag & Bhogle 

Even Ravi Shastri seems to have planted something on his bald head.

I was watching this show few min back and my God this senile old man is incorrigible.. He went on about not making knee jerk reactions, one bad game, believe in the players and so on 

 

A good discussion none the less.. I specifically liked Sishir Hatangadi and Pradeep Magazine comments and a bit of Rajput as well. 

 

 

Other than Gavaskar - everyone said the current team needs to be redone keeping SKY, Hardik, Arshdeep only from this lot. Doubt BCCI will make any brave decisions here. Dont think they really care. After all it's just another knockout game. If a 10 wicket loss to Pak and a group stage exit didn't do it last year - nothing will.

Off spinner, middle order bat and the older I got the nearer the bat I got with the mindset and instructions " you are younger you run for it  " but I never managed to get 1st slip all game , Rajput bagged that position , which I always told him , me being two years older than him he should respect seniority

"We hv been the no 1 t20 side"   My foot

At no stage of the game did we look like the #1 side. It was terrible batting, crap bowling reminiscent of a minnow.

you may have been older, but you probably had more hair. given that he had more bad hair days, that made him your senior, so to speak

Afraid not the case , but I have looked at photos over the years of him and when I meet him very occasionally I think I like being bald

No Joe Root in their T20I set up: Sunil Gavaskar explains reason behind England's success T20 World Cup

Gavaskar gave the example of Joe Root, who despite being one of the greatest batters in the modern era does not find a place in the T20I side.

"England's selection policy is the point of difference. Joe Root - who is a legend in Test match cricket does not get a chance to play in T20Is. If they see that their Test match batters cannot play in their T20I template, they simply do not select them. Joe Root is one of the best batters in the world, one of fab four, but he still does not find a place in the white ball team," Gavaskar compared England to the rest of the teams.

"England have brought in youngsters in the team, like Phil Salt and Harry Brook, and they were the points of difference," he further added.

I can imagine. Indians often fleece white skinned people thinking they are rich.

There are ups and downs, we are #1 team in T20s for no reason 

 

 

 

Everyone is focused on greasing the gravy train that makes money ( aka the monkeys indian fans). BCCI is designed and lead by people who do this as their top priority.

Then why he does not support that all format players playing from so many years without any result should be removed , even after anchors put that question to him again & again? Why he is asking not to take any knee jerk actions.

One thing I will say about Gavaskar he never took a backward step when he defended India the country against the Aussie commentators during Monkeygate.
