Sreesanth has officially lost the plot.
I’m all for sledging. Hell it was probably my best cricketing skill. But sledging as 12th man, dude your not even in the 11. And the bloke your sledging just smashed your team all around the park.
Sledging is about picking your moments, and delivery.
Error 1 Delivery & Timing.
If your so angry at the world you think you need to sledge from 12th man don’t go up into his face and say haha, now you have lost the game you big poo head.
Just as you casually move past him, you say just loud enough that he will hear it, whoops, big mistake, or damn, there goes that game. The only proof of the sledge should be Symonds looking over his shoulder and swearing.
Error 2 target.
Why on Johnny Cash’s green earth would you want to fire Symonds up further?
He’s averaging 65 in this series at better than a run a ball. Is this the man you want to give more reasons to kick your teams ass.
It’s like poking a bull before you get in the ring with it. Actually its like having sex with a girl and yelling out another girls name and holding on for the best sex ever. It seems like a good idea at the time, it’s only afterwards you realise you may have made the mistake.
Most importantly this is hurting India. Sreesanth is firing up the two batsmen (if you attack Roy you attack Hayden) who can destroy India.
Other than these two there is only one other batsmen averaging over 25 for the series.
So Sreesanth take them out for a beer, take them to a Bollywood premiere, propose to Roy (he’s single now) for fucks sake, India needs you to grow the fuck up.
If it’s true, he is a crazy, crazy kid. If it’s true, he better stand true to his aggro and get some wickets. Otherwise, he’s just a kid whose favourite toy has been taken away.
Yeah, i believe he said something, im not sure he would have clapped, cause he’s not that nuts, is he?Wickets are what will win the argument for him.
Uncle J Rod,Except for a couple of Aussie journos, no one else has heard of this incident ( and believe you me, if this actually had happened, the Indian media would have been all over it). Cheers
Ya Homer, that’s what is troubling me about this whole thing. Sree has been under intense scrutiny since the tour of England, and not a day passes by without some “expert” makes a point to diss him on TV. Given all that, I find it rather strange not a single newspaper has taken the issue up. Another case of cultural relativism/misunderstanding, is my guess.
Sree should be dropped out for the rest of the series. If anything, India proved we can we win without the tosser. If hes half as smart as hes arrogant he should apologize publicly and then be allowed in.
John & Homer, now ponting has said that he chirped at 5 batsmen in that game. Ponting may have artificial hair growing from his head, but he’s not a liar. The australian media often lie, not Ponting. Idiotique, tosser is the perfect word for the man.
“It was disappointing the other day to see that happening,” Ponting said in the Sydney Morning Herald. “He chirped me on the way out to bat, as well. When I got a chance to ask him about it when he ran a drink out later on, he ran away and said he wasn’t talking to me at all. He said he was talking to someone else.”And yet Ricky complains.Whinger!
There is no doubt australians are full of shit when it comes to sledging, they sledge everyone and hate it when it comes back to them. however Sreesanth is losing the plot. The dude needs to sit on a couch and talk about how his mother didn’t love him. Quickly. Ponting is a whinger, not quite up there with Harbajhan or Kp, but still a whinger.
SS needs to spend some time at the MRF Pace Academy and have a heart to heart with DK Lillee on how it is done.. If he can keep his rag about him, India has a pretty good shout later this year Down Under
Yeah exactly, the boy can bowl. And he is a vital part of the trip down under. I think talking to Lillee woudl be good for him, and never ever talking to Andre Nel could help as well.
