Sreesanth likely to return for Kolkata Test

ANIMonday, February 8, 2010

NAGPUR: Kerala pacer S Sreesanth is likely to play in the second Test match of the ongoing series between India and South Africa.

Sreesanth is expected to undergo a fitness test on February 10.

He was left out of the squad for the Nagpur Test due to a hamstring injury that he got during the series against Bangladesh.

India plays the second Test against South Africa in Kolkata from February 14.

Good. Hopefully, the Nagpur test has driven enough sense into the likes of Fontaine about the where Sreesanth and Ishant stand respectively with regards to their bowling abilities at the moment. With two fast bowlers we certainly cannot afford to have one of them as a completely defensive option like Ishant turned out to be here, when he did not find Ashraful at the other end of the pitch.

Wasn't Ishant giving interview "Now it is a thing of past"

India definitely needs Sree. No question about it.

Karan114 · 02-08-2010, 03:44 PM

Good to hear

sm332 · 02-08-2010, 03:47 PM

although I am not sure Sreesanth will light things up ... but given Ishant's non-threatening form this should be a shoo-in.

Gunner_Mania · 02-08-2010, 03:49 PM

if nothing is going for him, he can at least distract the Saffies with his hip shakes

rett · 02-08-2010, 03:52 PM

It's good news as he is one of the few in Ind who can swing both the new and the old ball with pace (being Ind's 90mph bowler)

gs · 02-08-2010, 04:09 PM

Good. I'll take anyone as replacement for the hapless toothless Ishant Sharma. Ishant, please save yourself for IPL and spare us of this misery of watching you bowl in tests.

gult · 02-08-2010, 07:38 PM

Good news

His energy and intensity on the field makes lot of difference to the side.

I'll believe it when I sreesanth swinging the ball and being accurate.

Otherwise he's just a waste who isn't accurate and gives away plenty of boundaries in the process. Let's see which Sree shows up.

Exactly they are both useless and ineffective.

ensd2 · 02-08-2010, 10:18 PM

Men sreeshant is ineffective. As ishant , only Zaheer is a good bowler , need some miracle with the ball from sehwag and yuvraj : they are our two best spinners by far

retterimp · 02-09-2010, 12:26 AM

oh noo.. the mighty sreesanth is here...the opposition's batsmen must be quaking in their boots...

meh, sreesnath, prashant all are the same. lets wait n see what drama he can pull off

yeah, after one match against BANGLA of all teams

now we know how high his aims are...

Freedom · 02-09-2010, 02:25 AM

so what is Sreesantham going to do? All hez capable is provide fodder to SAF batsmen.

Sreesantham=Ishantham=Sh!t

PERIOD

kabira · 02-09-2010, 06:01 AM

HE actually runs in and tries to get wickets. He is capable of producing Steyn like Spell. He is genuine match winner.

rkt.india · 02-09-2010, 03:18 PM

If Ishant wants to do well, he needs to be aggressive and use his height to good effect which he rarely does and in between he needs to pitch the fuller to seem or swing, he can't bowl the same line and length all the time
