magic boy, you have no idea of the kind of sledging gavaskar is talking about from the aussies.
it's the kind that would get you thrown out of a job if done in US.

let me give you two examples

He just came down the wicket - and he used to swear all the time - but this time he decided to spit at me, and he got me in the pad. And he got into trouble because he was on TV. He got reprimanded for that.
this kind of schoolboy stuff is not even sledging, it's called banter. nobody has a problem with that. certainly not gavaskar.
