| He also chewed out Ponting for not walking (whilst his own personal record of walking when given lbw is legend) and his widely publicised assertations regarding Clarkes catch in sydnet were in conflict with the actual guidelines umpires are to use in adjudicating catches.

| It actually seems no different to the suggestions that the Aussies are motivated by money. The controversies surrounding recent ICC events suggests that Gavaskar did not have the appropriate impartiality. Not necessarily personally, but due to a conflict of interest. Given Gavaskars position on international cricket relations, it is no wonder that the ICC has no balls. That being said, based on the precedent he has set in his role of ICC president, his contemptuous attitude to duly authorative match officials and basic international relations (related to offensive basic racial suggestions), Harby seems to have the qualifications to bid forthe top job! If he were a player, Gavaskar would have been cited for these kind of statements. |

The issue was discussed by the ICC board in March and Gavaskar was called for a meeting with then CEO Malcolm Speed. Gavaskar, a popular television commentator, had described England and Australia as "dinosaurs, still trying to voice their prejudiced opinions in the media, and may not open their eyes and see the reality," in a syndicated column in March. In January, he claimed white ICC match referee Mike Procter was biased against Indian players because of their skin colour, after the South African found spinner Harbhajan Singh guilty of racially abusing Andrew Symonds in the Sydney test.
