Unacceptable for spinner to bowl no ball: Gavaskar

Published on: 

Criticising the Indian bowlers for conceding no balls at crucial juncture of the semifinal match against West Indies, former captain Sunil Gavaskar on Friday said it is "unacceptable for a spinner to bowl a no ball".

"The spinners are really not expected to bowl a no ball. Fast bowlers, in their effort to bowl a yorker or a bouncer, can sometimes overstep. Thus, for a spinner to bowl a no ball is unacceptable. This is something you got to practice in the nets," Gavaskar told 'NDTV'.

Title aspirants India were last night knocked out of the WT20 with a heartbreaking seven-wicket defeat at the hands of West Indies.

He insisted that West Indies have proved that cricket is a team game.

"West Indies is not a one-man team. We were talking about Chris Gayle versus Virat Kohli. He didn't score runs. But look how others put their hands up and contributed. It has always been a team game. We tend to highlight one or two players and that is understandable. But it is never a one man game and West Indies have proven that," said Gavaskar.
