Australian team wrong to blame Justin Langer for series loss to India, says Sunil Gavaskar
India TV NewsFormer Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar is having none of the Australian team excuses of blaming Justin Langer of putting no intensity and passion in the team as he called the players a bunch of brats who can't accept they were outplayed by India in 2-1 Test series loss last month. Reports also surfaced that a section of Australia's players were unhappy with Langer's methods, which Gavaskar said didn't reflect too well on the team. "The leaks to the media about Langer actually reflects badly on the Australian team as it portrays them as brats who can't accept they were outplayed and so need to shift the blame elsewhere,” Gavaskar wrote in a column for Mid-day. "Whether that was only the captain and senior players’ decision to bat first or whether it was one that the coach Langer encouraged Tim Paine to take is not known but apart from that possibility, the Australians have nobody else to blame than themselves."
