| India`s attitude and approach not right, says Gavaskar | | | agencies
Kolkata, Dec 8: Former skipper Sunil Gavaskar on Saturday criticised the Indian cricketers for their lacklustre "approach and attitude" towards preparations and said this was precisely the reason behind the home team`s disastrous performance in the ongoing Test series against England.
"We have been outplayed totally in all aspects of the game. Indian players need to look at their approach and attitude towards the preparation ahead of a game," Gavaskar said. "Talent wise there is no question, but I am disappointed with the approach of the Indian cricketers in the last one year. "Taking 5-6 days break after the humiliating defeat in Mumbai was not acceptable. The Indian team should have shown a little more seriousness," the batting legend told `NDTV`. Gavaskar`s scathing comments came after India produced a pathetic batting display in the second innings of the third cricket Test at The Eden Gardens to stare at yet another humiliating defeat. At stumps on the fourth day, India were 239 for nine in their second innings, giving them a lead of 32, and Gavaskar felt it is time the national selectors take some tough calls. "It is difficult to ignore what happened in the last Test. The selectors will have a hard time to pick the team for the last Test in Nagpur."Why pick on him (Tendulkar)? Who has scored runs? It`s a collective failure. He has given us 23 glorious years of his career," he said.
