Tons of issues

So, how refreshing it is to see an antidote to a free-floating anxiety that today8217;s young cricketers do not value their Test cap. Upon getting to the brink of his double century at his home ground, Ferozeshah Kotla, Gambhir said: 8220;You always want people to remember you as a good Test cricketer, rather than just a good one-day cricketer or a Twenty20 cricketer.8221;

You do. But Gambhir8217;s still to get it straight. Test cricket is about more than runs, and in this Delhi match he8217;s let himself down. His run-ins with Shane Watson and Simon Katich have been deemed a level two offence, carrying the possibility that 50-100 per cent of his match fee might be docked or even of a one-Test ban. Gambhir, he of abundant and aggressive run-making, needs to learn that to be remembered as a good Test cricketer needs more than just a good post on the scorecard.
