[net.nlang.india] Indian Cricket, Kapil vs Gavaskar controversy

mathur@alberta.UUCP (Ambrish Mathur) (02/08/85)

	Of late, one has been hearing about the public mudslinging going
on between Gavaskar and Kapil Dev during the current series with England.
I have not been in touch with happenings in Indian Cricket recently. Last I 
knew, Kapil was the captain (during the '83-'84 West Indies series) and Gavaskar
completed his 30th century. How come Kapil was replaced by Gavaskar and 
when ? What is the current fight between the two about ? From what I gather,
India have been performing pretty badly against England after being favourites
at the start of the series. Could someone enlighten me please ?
