In a veiled swipe at Shane Warne and Ian Chappell for their outburst against the Australian team, vice-captain Adam Gilchrist today said retired stars should stop "getting personal" and "making negative" comments.
"I must say there's been a lot said today in the paper, and yesterday, all this week it seems. We take a lot of pride in wearing the baggy green cap. We show respect," Gilchrist was quoted as saying in the 'Daily Telegraph'.

"That's what we have prided ourselves in. It seems some guys in retirement have just lost that. I don't understand it. I don't know why people are getting personal about things in the press and in the public," the wicket-keeper fumed.

Gilchrist's remarks come after Warne and Chappell launched a scathing attack at former coach John Buchanan with the former calling him a "goose", who had "verbal diarrhoea".

Warne had also described the Australian team's attitude as being aggressive.

Chappell, meanwhile, had said that even his daughter would have done a better job than Buchanan at coaching the Australians.
