Jalandhar: Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Friday denied having called Australian opener Matthew Hayden a 'big liar' and wicketkeeper/batsman Adam Gilchrist 'no saint'.
Harbhajan, who was at the centre of most of the controversies during the acrimonious tour of Australia, was quoted by a daily as saying, "Don't talk about Hayden's credibility, he is a big liar."
The spinner, however, made it clear that he had not made such comments.
"I did not make these comments. A lot has been written in the last few days, but I have not said such things", Harbhajan said.
In that interview, Harbhajan was also quoted as saying that "He (Gilchrist) is also not a saint. He, of course, pretends to be a saint, someone who does not say an offensive word on the field."
"But this is completely wrong. There are times when he does not let an opportunity go waste."
