Issue sensationalised?
It seems a distant smaller occurrence than ‘the debate of a season’. Speaking to reporters about a representation is not something that Salgaoncar has not finished in a past. And to be satisfactory to a ex-Maharashtra pacer, he wouldn’t be a usually curator in India who speaks about what to design from a representation forward of a game. Perhaps, it’s his nobody-can-touch-me opinion that has got a improved of him this time. Salgaoncar has oral loosely on a series of occasions about how a tip batsman was frightened of his bowling and how some undeserving cricketers got a possibility forward of him to play for India, all this in front of media persons. He has left on record to contend bizarre things even in his purpose as authority of a Maharashtra Cricket Association selectors.

A lax cannon
When one of a team’s premier batsman was forsaken after carrying scored a hundred opposite Mumbai in a prior season, Salgaoncar said: “He is forsaken since he doesn’t know how to bat. He flashes his bat like a sword.” For all that rabble talk, Salgaoncar has never been pulled up. Perhaps, if it was done, yesterday’s debate could have been averted.
