| Gavaskar in eye of 'racist' storm |
| Wednesday, January 16, 2008 |
 15 January 2008
Indias batting legend Sunil Gavaskar has been facing the heat from his former opponents on field regarding the racism controversy of his own. Former South African batsmen Barry Richards has alleged that the former Indian skipper once tried to have him sacked as a television commentator for being a racist. "He wrote a letter to Supersport demanding that I be sacked because I was a racist" Barry Richards told The Australian.
Former New Zealand captain Jhon Reid, who was also incensed by comments of gavaskar in his newspaper column, said that Gavaskar should have kept quite Harbhajan issue as he too works for ICC.
Meanwhile Sunil Gavaskar rubbished growing critism over the controversial newspaper column, saying he never called match referee Mike Procter a racist. In his column Gavaskar had written "Millions of Indians want to know if it was a 'white man' taking the 'white mans' word against that of a 'brown man'". |
