Speaking after day two’s play ended, Gavaskar said that if 15 wickets had been taken in India “all hell would have broken loose”.
“We had Glenn McGrath saying he’d never seen so much grass. Did you hear any former India cricketer moan about the pitch?” Gavaskar told ABC Grandstand Radio.
“When we go out and play cricket we will toughen it out. And if we are beaten, we are beaten. Overseas it’s very difficult to beat home teams.
“I did say that when we saw the pitch yesterday, the cows could have gone and grazed on it.
“This is not the ideal Test match pitch that you want because you want it to go into a fourth and fifth day. Unless there is rain I don’t see us being here on day four.”
