You have no idea whether Gambhir threw up a stink or not. How do you know he didn't react similarly to Flintoff, but just indoors? Or in his own way, which is different to how someone like Flintoff would show such emotion?Fair enough and all, but he missed the second test after being hit on the upper arm which I'm sure killed, but was still a soft tissue injury and hardly life threatening.
I'd suggest if he was well enough to net he was well enough to play.
Contrast that with Flintoff's attitude in the 2009 Ashes. He was rested for the fourth test because he was suffering from (as it turned out) a career-ending knee injury and kicked up the mother of all stinks because he so badly wanted to play.
Gambhir also copped a lot of **** for "playing whilst injured" during the IPL for the record.
