'7-yr-old Ponting' didn't know what happened: Gavaskar

New Delhi, November 20:: Sunil Gavaskar on Thursday hit back at Ricky Ponting for his 'uncalled for' remarks that the former India captain was no angel in his hey-days, saying the Australian skipper's comments were an indication that his side was 'rattled' to find a challenger in India. "I think it was totally uncalle  ....Read more

PONTING'S COMMENTSBy: V KRISHNA KUMAR | Friday , 21 Nov '08 8:47:03 AM Reply | Forward Former skipper Ponting's comments on Gavaskar is unwarranted. As rightly pointed out by Sunny, he (Ponting) was a child of 7 yrs to know full details of the incident. That too Australian's comments at the time when they have been lashed out their mettle. Ofcourse at the time of distress only such shallow comments come out.Not only for this matter any present dayers commenting about former legends is very painful.
Sportsman spiritBy: Sam | Thursday , 20 Nov '08 23:31:38 PM Reply | Forward Who said India have sportsman spirit.Well i feel what Hayden and ponting said is true. It is only in India That a situation has occurred that we had to abandon a cricket match just because we were on the losing side in 1996 world cup semi against Lanka. Such a thing has never happened in Australia, NewZeland or England.Such things happen only in countries like West indies and India.It is also definitly true that Harbajan actually called Symonds Monkey. It was clearly heard in the tv when game was going on
Please ignoreBy: Vijay Hurkute | Thursday , 20 Nov '08 23:17:48 PM Reply | Forward Dear Mr. Gavaskar,and rest of Indians, please ignore. Aussies have lost their mental balance.
Ponting on GavaskarBy: Amit Bhattacharjie | Thursday , 20 Nov '08 20:13:29 PM Reply | Forward Ponting is a real PUNTER. Only this time he is punting for his book, its notorious popularity and his own evergreen cry-baby image. He may be able to carve a cunning look-over attitude from CA, but in doing all this he may have to forfeit BCCI's handshake and IPL. Sounds more like a foul-gasbag, isn't it?
TruthBy: Anand | Thursday , 20 Nov '08 20:07:10 PM Reply | Forward Whilst Australia are bad losers and exhibit poor sportsmanship, Sunil Gavaskar as Ponting has correctly pointed out is no angel. There is something that is terribly wrong in his commentary these days. His views as a commentator appears to be totally one-sided and very annoying. It makes you feel that he is speaking as if he is the spokesperson of the Indian cricket team and not as a commentator. I am tired of hearing about Australia criticising India and India retaliating. I think its high time the board intervenes and puts and end to this nonsense that is happening. For sure, Gavaskar needs to be more balanced in his approach though. He certainly isnt a saint.
Sunny daysBy: John David | Thursday , 20 Nov '08 19:06:14 PM Reply | Forward Sunny never waited for the umpire to signal him out. He is known for walking out as soon as he knew he is out. This was the unique attitude and a great sportsmanship of Sunny to which had placed him among the best cricketers. In a way Sunny taught the game ethics to the cricket world the way he played the game. As Akram said the bad-mouthing of Aussies hangers on and describes the sour grapes. Sunny can sue Ponting on such a baseless comment.
pontingBy: milind kulkarni | Thursday , 20 Nov '08 18:40:30 PM Reply | Forward ponting is mad to say such foolish statement on Indian legend Sunny.Australians are frustrated due defeat , now they should get habitual to such defeats by India,
Ponting's silly remarkBy: S.A. Krishnan | Thursday , 20 Nov '08 17:19:31 PM Reply | Forward By commenting on Gavaskar incident, Ponting has shot himself in the mouth. We all know that Gavaskar was angry at the unfair decision he was given by Australian Umpire (maybe the Australians knew no other way to get him out) but what really insensed him was the foul personal remarks that the fielders made - gavaskar called it "typically Australian".. It was this that made Gavaskar walk out. As for Ponting, in comparison to him, not only Gavaskar but most Indian cricketers are angels.
