It isnt surprising at all.

It was gilly who made such vociferous appeal against dravid when the ball went nowhere near the bat.

Gilly was in the best position to see the catch of dada taken by pup not cleanly and yet went on to appeal along with ponting and later on brushed it aside as Mark Benson’s oversight in not consulting with the third umpire.

We may be sore losers. But aussies turn sore even before losing.

Sachin doesnt require any endorsement from such sick creatures crawling on earth.

Hmm...IMO one of the permanent damages to the game.
adhukkAga sonnEn. And the race-card was used when Asian players where 'called' for chucking. That is why I thought it relevant here. In fact it is more than race. Money too. The stars pull the crowds so they can do 'anything'. Much like WG Grace putting back the bails and batting on after getting bowled, saying "the crowds came to see me bat, not to see you bowl me"

Of course I do see the other PoV too. Slater behaving terribly after taking the grounded catch of Dravid in Mumbai 2001 and didn't even get a slap on his wrists ! Many many such incidents. Nichchayam SG solradhula nYayam irukku.

i was surprised to see gilly making comments like this as he was seen to be unaustralian and different from his folks.

neenga point panna incidenta parthaa, avaru "flock together" typethaan pola irukku. yes. Sachin doesnot require that.

There is nothing wrong IMO, bOngu aatam aadunavangala adhey root-la poi thaan pudikanum! They are not sacred, thappe kedayadhu! Who can forget Sachin’s ball tampering issue? :evil:

On being asked about Gilly's allegations, Sir's reply - "No comments" :clap:

Today there's an interview "Little Masters" (SG and Sir) at 8PM, CNN-IBN. Interviewer is unfortunately Rajdeep Sardesai

Gilchrist on the backfoot, blames media's silly point

New Delhi: Former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist on Friday took on the media for the reports that he had slammed international cricket's highest run-getter Sachin Tendulkar of not being gracious in defeat in his autobiography True Colours.

Gilchrist said his statement was taken out of context and then blown out of proportion. He said he has written four pages on the incident in the book but media chose to quote just two sentences.

He also reportedly called up Tendulkar to talk matters over.

The cricketer also said he will clarify his side of the story in an article to be published on Saturday.

In his description of the incident relating to Tendulkar, Gilchrist writes that the Master Blaster shirks from a handshake if he ends on the losing side.

Describing the dramatic final moments on the final day of the Sydney Test, which India lost narrowly, Gilchrist says: "We went into the Indian changing room and shook hands. Not all their players could be found, which points to another subtle cultural difference. In the Australian mentality, we play it hard and are then quick to shake hands and leave it all on the field. Some of our opponents don't do it that way. Sachin Tendulkar, for instance, can be hard to find for a changing room handshake after we have beaten India. Harbhajan can also be hard to find."

Gilchrist's views make it clear that he isn't a fan of Tendulkar, who has been a hugely admired figure in Australia ever since he first played in the country as a teenager in 1991-92.

Gilchrist not only accuses Tendulkar of being a bad sport, but also goes on to criticise his role in the 'monkeygate' scandal involving Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds earlier this year in Australia.

Gilchrist calls Sachin, says sorry

Fri, Oct 24 03:43 PM

In the latest development in the 'Tendulkar Gilchrist spat', Adam Gilchrist has called up Sachin Tendulkar to 'clarify' his comments. Gilchrist reportedly told Tendulkar that the comments were taken 'out of context' from his book and that he never wanted to insult the batsman.

While efforts are being made by both Indian and Australian players to keep emotions under control in the current Test series, former Australian stumper Adam Gilchrist questioning Sachin Tendulkar's honesty during the spiteful Sydney Test could open fresh wounds.

In his autobiography, an extract of which will appear in a magazine, Gilchrist has hinted that Tendulkar was a sore loser and questioned his honesty in the "Monkeygate" affair that threatened to go out of hand during India's tour Down Under.

Terming Tendulkar's testimony during Harbhajan Singh's appeal as a "joke", Gilchrist noted, "The Indians got him (Harbhajan) off the hook when they, of all people, should have been treating the matter of racial vilification with the utmost seriousness."

Gilchrist was particularly disappointed with Tendulkar's behaviour who, according to him, had initially told the hearing that he could not hear what was said, he was "certain he was telling the truth" because he was "a fair way away".

But during the appeal which followed, Tendulkar said that Harbhajan used a Hindi term that sounded like "monkey" to Australian ears.

The stumper was convinced that the Harbhajan was guilty and considered India's threat to abandon the tour was "a disgraceful act, holding the game to ransom unless they got their way", ' The Age ' reported.

He also wrote that there was vast difference in the manner the teams approached the game.

"In the Australian mentality, we play it hard and are then quick to shake hands and leave it all on the field. Some of our opponents don't do it that way. Sachin Tendulkar, for instance, can be hard to find for a changing room handshake after we have beaten India. Harbhajan can also be hard to find.

"I guess it's a case of different strokes for different folks."
