 Gary sobers..." It's my approach my opinion that sunil Gavaskar is the greatest batsman I have seen...

Not to belittle the achievements of the big ALL Time players like Sachin or viv or Lara.. 
Gavaskar as an opener faced the most difficult of bowlers in the 70s and 80s era like Roberts Holding Croft Garner" 
(Later Marshall)..
He was the chief guest at a function in 2011 felicitating Ajit wadekars 1971 victory..
Sobers emphasised the importance of Gavaskars era where there was no restrictions to bouncers in an over..
Beamers were not outlawed ..bowlers dragged their foot to bowl in 20 yards..
Field was set by the bowlers not by rules..
72 overs were occupying a day and with less known gadgets like helmets etc..which came in later..
Gavaskar ...sobers concluded by saying that he scored more runs away from India in the West Indies England and Australia..
