Gilly in his upcoming biography True Colours has virtually accused Sachin of not being gracious in his defeat. " Sachin Tendulkar shirks from a handshake if he ends on the losing side," said Gilchrist.
While describing the dramatic final moments on the final day of the Sydney Test, which India lost narrowly, Gilchrist says: "We went into the Indian changing room and shook hands. Not all their players could be found, which points to another subtle cultural difference. In the Australian mentality, we play it hard and are then quick to shake hands and leave it all on the field. Some of our opponents don't do it that way. Sachin Tendulkar, for instance, can be hard to find for a changing room handshake after we have beaten India. Harbhajan can also be hard to find.""I guess it's a case of different strokes for different folks", he added.
Gilly's views and comments make it clear that he is no fan of Tendulkar, who is hugely admired figure in Australia ever since he played first in Oz as a teenager in 1991-92. He also said that Sachin is sore lier. He made this comment over Tendulkar's role in 'Monkeygate' issue between Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh and Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds.
He also alleged Tendulkar as not sticking to his words. Gilly said in the first hearing Tendulkar claimed he hadn't heard what Bajji said and during the second hearing he supported his teammate's version that he had used a Hindi swear word that sounded similar to monkey.
