Why does the Indian media speak with such stupidity?

Making a fuss over such a small comment.

@melglen1 Actually Gavaskar Average against WI was high in the early 70s when they had couple quicks and a couple spinners like Lance Gibbs. However, once they had their fierce pace quartet of Garner, Croft, Marshall and Holding, his average too fell to the mid-30s just like everybody else on the planet. A mid 30s average is not awesome. Very few of his 17 centuries against WI also came against the quartet. But to be fair, Boycott too had a mid 30s average against the WI pace quartet.

@GameOvai5 Bro, all medias around the world are like that. Are you trying to tell me that the British media or the U.S. media make sage-like comments with Zen like brevity? They are here to make money. If money is made by recording facts, that is what they will do, if it is made by wise commentary, that is what they will do. They are not biased towards or against wisdom and truth. Money however is made by sensationalism and stupidity and that is what they do. They have to feed themselves, Bro!

i have a sever reverence for Gavaskar and Boycott. Yes, both of them played in the same era and both of them had a similiar style of batting. But why the falk would the Indian media invest so much time and tv space when there are so many other issues that needs to be brought to light?

I can understand how passionate Indians are about their Cricket, but it is such a trivial issue that doesn't require any discussion or judgement. I guess the indian population is more interested in this topic.

@hamzasalick What has team record got to do with individual achievement or better technique. Also, didn't gavaskar play in Australia, England, Newzealand and West Indies ? Look at his record against the West Indies in West Indies before making an idiotic comment.
