Scoring a low score doesn't particularly mean that the person is a selfish cricketer. But I agree that Sunil Gavaskar's inning was. It was a personal conflict between the captain and him, for which he played an innings like that.
Although he had been contributing runs to India with an open heart, which brought India many games. In my opinion, Kevin Pietersen is the most selfish cricketer. He always played from himself, rather than the nation he played.
But due to a tremendous cricketing career, with runs in every format of the game, this attitude is often overshadowed. Some instances which make me lead into this conclusion are: 1. On several occasions he wouldn't want to sacrifice his wicket in a run out, to save a more settled player.
2. He would always want to come in the order which he usually plays to, regardless of thinking that sending a better player according to the situation, or wicket. 3.
He never walks off the cricket pitch when he is out but wrongly given not out. 4. We all know the recent conflict between him and his English teammates.
But in the end, one has to say that he was/is a great cricketer, and probably one of the greatest England has ever had.
Probably Sachin Tendulkar if you go over the length of career, but if you narrow it to one match, Sunil Gavaskar easily takes the prize with that innings in the 1975 World Cup which I think you are talking about.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
