Jalandhar, March 7: India’s ace 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 told a press conference in Jalandhar.

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”.
