Sunil Gavaskar's Brutal 'No Complaint' Jibe At Australia Players. Reason Is...

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar took a dig at Australia and said the green top Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) surface hasn't been a topic of debate among the former Indian players but had it been a spin-friendly pitch in India, the visitors would have gone mad about it. "Oh, very much. Justin Langer, who's played in Australia, has said he's never seen so much grass on a pitch. But what you would have noticed is that no former Indian player has complained or whined about it. If a pitch in India is bereft of grass and looks like it's going to turn, so many former players from different parts of the world criticize our pitches. But former Indian players rarely complain because we understand the importance of adapting to overseas conditions," Gavaskar said on Star Sports when asked about the grass on the pitch.

"Every Indian Fan...": Ricky Ponting Adds Fuel To Fire Over Virat Kohli Catch Controversy

Amidst plenty of discussion on whether Virat Kohli was not out or not on day one of fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, former Australia captain said he was not convinced by the not-out decision, adding that in his view, Steve Smith took a clear catch. In the first session, shortly after Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed by Scott Boland, the seamer almost got his second wicket on the trot when he found Kohli's outside edge, and Smith dived across to his right at second slip to take the catch. But it seemed like Smith had got his fingers underneath the ball and flicked the grass on the ground while scooping the ball to Marnus Labuschagne at gully, something which TV umpire Joel Wilson spotted while ruling Kohli not out after seeing various camera angles.
