What my voice said
“No really, all the people who talk about strike rates and I don’t play good spin are the ones who talk about those things. For me, it’s about winning games for the team and there’s a reason why you’ve done it for 15 years, you’ve done it day in and day out, you’ve won games For your teams, I’m not really sure if you haven’t been in that situation yourself, to sit and talk about the game in the box.”
“As far as I’m concerned, people can talk about their assumptions every day, but those who have done it every day, they know what’s going on and it’s kind of a muscle memory for me now.”
GAVASKAR’S RESPONSE
“The commentators only asked when his strike rate was 118. I’m not too sure. I don’t watch too many games, so I don’t know what the other commentators have said otherwise. But if you come in and start and then there’s a strikeout of 118 when you get out in the 14th or 15, I mean, if you want applause for that, that’s a little different.”
“All these guys talking about ‘Oh we don’t care about outside noise’. Acha! So why do you answer any outside noise or whatever? We’ve all played a bit of cricket, not a lot of cricket. We don’t have agendas, We talk about what we see, we don’t necessarily like or dislike.
“I hope a sports star understands that when this clip is shown, asking the critics, the critics are your commentators. For you to show a person who disrespects your commentators, I’m not sure that’s a great thing. You have to understand you. Show it enough times, everyone has the The message is I will be very disappointed if you see this one more time.”
