Sunil Gavaskar Quotations

Comparisons are really no good in sport, especially if it is a comparison between different eras and generations, for there are so many variables that come into play, starting from the quality of the opposition to playing conditions.

When you sit down and focus on the matches and series that took place during the 12 month period it strikes you just how broad the talent pool is in international cricket is today.

I was in England in a meeting when I saw the screen. It is amazing that the batsman can't see through it, but people sitting behind it can watch the game without hindrance.

Cricket has lost a lot of spectators in the wake of the match-fixing scandal, and it must ensure it does not lose more because some official is waiting for the conditions to be perfect.

Australia will be looking to regroup after the intensity of the Ashes series in England, but I don't think the cricket will be any easier for them against these World XI sides,

This is the first time in decades that the greatest players from the rest of the world have combined their talents, and I expect them to put Australia under real pressure.

For Indian cricket, I am always ready to assist in whatever way I can.

I only wanted to show the advantages of a good footwork, they need to be positive about their movement.

The umpires on the field can call the bowler if they feel that his action is not right.

The Indian selectors could do well to follow the West Indian policy and alternate tournaments for Javagal Srinath. This way he will be able to keep in touch with international cricket and also keep his zest and energy for Test cricket.

Andrew has played a lot of cricket lately at a high intensity so it didn't seem necessary to rush him into a game only two days after he has arrived in Melbourne,

Before dying, my last wish will be to see MS Dhoni's World Cup Winning Six.

Srikkanth is a vegetarian. If he swallows a fly, he will be in trouble

Why talk of the team when our Cricket Board is like an exclusive club with members being there for years on end? If they can stay on without performing, the players too feel they can stay in the team without too big a performance.

Respect Dhoni's decision to quit. We should respect his incredible contribution to Indian cricket. Can't measure in words. Probably his quitting came one Test early.

Devil wanted to play cricket. So Ravindra Jadeja was born.

Well, it's such a record that you can only compare it with Bob Beamon's long-jump world record set in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico. At that time it seemed that it would never be broken. Tendulkar's 50 Test centuries is one such records which doesn't look like being surpassed

I think, apart from Sir Garfield Sobers nobody else has played 20 years in international cricket and 20 years playing at the very highest level and to the very highest standard is an achievement beyond compare.

Test centuries is one such records which doesn't look like being surpassed

India's fortune will depend on how many runs the little champion scores. There is no doubt Tendulkar is the real thing.

To become a good player, you need talent. To become a great player, you need an attitude like Kohli.

When I die, the last thing I want to see is the six that Dhoni hit in the 2011 World Cup final.

Pakistan without Ajmal is like car without engine
