'I had better technique than Sunny'

New Delhi, July 28: Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott believes he was technically superior to Sunil Gavaskar even though his Yorkshire teammate Dicky Bird feels otherwise.

The England opener with a reputation for straight talking said he and Gavaskar were similar in many respects but he had the better technique.

"There is no question that Sunny was a fantastic batsman. People love to make comparisons and Sunil and I have been compared very often perhaps because we were similar in many ways — we batted right-handed, opened the innings, had a great appetite for runs, hated to give our wickets away and possessed good technique," Boycott wrote in new book Sunil Gavaskar: Cricket’s Little Master.

"As our records show, Sunil played more matches, scored more runs and centuries than me, but in terms of technique, I consider myself superior to Sunil even if by just half a percentage point," he added.

Gavaskar has played 125 Tests and scored 10,122 runs while Boycott has 8,114 runs from 108 matches. — PTI
