Funny he never opened mouth when Dhobi is doing the same thing for 4 years and ran out of patience with 4 matches old captain.

Gavaskar, however, defended stand-in-skipper Kohli and said that he has shown promise. "For somebody who is captaining for the first time in a major tournament, Kohli has done well and shown promise. Losses to both Sri Lanka and Pakistan were suffered in the last over," he pointed out. :dontknow:

just remember even in last series gavaskar wanted the bench strength to be tried When asked if the Indian skipper is reluctant to change the combination and try out new players, Gavaskar said that the team management, including coach and selection committee must advice the skipper in such times. "Every captain has a sense of belief about certain players. You need someone strong enough in the management to tell him to make those changes and be more open and flexible in matters of selection. For example there was always a talk that left-arm spinners never flourished under Sourav Ganguly's leadership because he himself would smash them around the park. So a captain may be reluctant regarding a particular player but that is where the selection committee and team management must come into the picture and advice the skipper. In this case the coach and selection committee can argue and convince Dhoni about playing a certain player and trying new alternatives," he said. (Related: McCullum happy to clinch key moments) The 64-year-old also urged that the benched players must be given a chance to showcase their skills now, keeping in mind the 2015 World Cup. "You have got few players in the squad who haven't got an opportunity to play yet and if you will not give them chances to play now, it will be very difficult for them to answer the call in a crucial match in a World Cup. Someone like Amit Mishra is a tourist. How will you find out if he's good enough to play by not giving him a chance. He may go for the same number of runs that the non-performing spinners are going for, but can still pick up wickets," he added. (Kohli's credentials as run-chase specialist on the rise) Gavaskar also criticized Ishant Sharma's bowling, who continues to disappoint with expensive bowling. "It was evident today that relatively newer fast bowlers like Mohd Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have worked hard and practiced to bowl yorkers and were getting it right. Whereas someone like an Ishant Sharma, who has been playing for five or six years, fails to bowl a single yorker. Either he is unwilling to learn. If that is the case, you should look at someone else who can keep the runs down. With Ishant giving away too many runs, India are bound to fall behind in the game," he said. http://sports.ndtv.com/new-zealand-vs-india-2014/news/219860-new-zealand-vs-india-ms-dhoni-must-be-flexible-in-team-selection-says-sunil-gavaskar

Where are the indian comms/pundits slaughtering indian team? Asking for dhonis head? Asking for ishant head etc etc Ex players are petified to say what they think on dhoni and his mafia. Pathetic paid muppetts. Indian fans hammering the team yet media just says captain cool doing good job Look at England. One loss away to aus and another close loss v SL and Cook under immense pressure. One more series loss and will be out. Yet Dhoni loses for 2 years straight and barely a murmur. Sad days

Indian cricketers have embarrassed the country: Gavaskar http://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/sunil-gavaskar-indian-cricketers-have-embarrassed-the-country/article6327788.ece?homepage=true

“If you do not want to be playing Test cricket for India, quit. Just play limited-overs cricket. You should not be embarrassing your country like that,” Gavaskar said in BBC Radio’s Test Match Special show. ... “Everything about England has been top-class. But, India has shown jelly-like resistance. Therefore, England should not get carried away because there are sterner tests to come,” he said.

[Texy]

Gavaskar is more passionate about the game so he does criticize from time to time albeit within limits. However, I have NEVER seen Shastri say anything that goes against the company policy. Never seen a bigger lap dog than Shastri and Manjrekar to some extent.
