"The Aussies should be worried I am coming" - Sreesanth

"The Aussies should be worried I am coming" - Sreesanth "I love the spotlight. The Aussies should be worried I am coming." Meet the quote-a-minute, bold and brash Sreesanth. He even refers to himself in the third person. "Sreesanth's way is to be aggressive. Sreesanth will always remain Sreesanth." :hysterical: :hysterical: Sreesanth was in Delhi, where it's bitterly cold, as the chief guest for the Gatorade Pacers' talent hunt but didn't allow the weather to dampen his spirits. The press descended on the arena and he indulged them, extensively and individually. Even as the event wrapped up in the evening and the attendees hurried towards the warmth of their cars, Sreesanth was addressing his audience, revelling in the spotlight. A shoulder injury had ruled him out of the home Tests against Pakistan and the ongoing series in Australia but he has been training and is ready to make a comeback during the triangular series in Australia in February. "More than their [Australia's] batsmen, I have been working on my own bowling," Sreesanth said. "I felt my left arm was not kicking into the bowling action properly. So I went back to the technique I picked up at the MRF Pace Foundation years before. I held a ball in my left hand too and, now, I had to drag it back down so that I could hurl the one in my right hand properly. As a result, the left palm doesn't open out and the hand doesn't fall away. I have just worked on my load-up too and I'm very pleased with the way everything is going." He cannot wait to get to Australia. He recounted with glee the sledging in the recent Australia-India encounters that he played in and took pride in how "we [india] never backed down. Why should we? We have players who can give it back with interest." It's not all hot air, though, and his talent for the verbal battle surfaced when he told of an incident involving Brian Lara. "He [Lara] defended a ball with an exaggerated back-and-across movement and I just stood there and murmured my disapproval," Sreesanth said. "Next ball he was beaten and I said, 'is this the King Charles Lara? Who is this impostor, moving around nervously? "I should have kept my mouth shut for the next ball - mind you, it was a length ball - Lara just pulled it over the church beyond the boundary! He is a true legend." Sreesanth's cricketing life seems to be a series of Youtube moments. He explained his famous dance after hitting Andre Nel for a six in Johannesburg. "He [Nel], along with [Mark] Boucher and [Herschelle] Gibbs were constantly at me. Nel tapped his chest and said, 'you need a big heart to play' and he sniffed in the air and said, 'I smell blood.' I sniffed back, 'where where?' and prayed to God to give me the strength to hit that six. You should have seen his face. I asked him, 'how was that slap and where is your tongue now?' He just went quietly back to his run-up." They manner in which Sreesanth re-tells these incidents makes you feel that he enjoys the adrenalin rush in the middle. In his mind, he is the biggest star in the world and the cricket field is a great stage for him to enact his own script. "What's the worst that can happen? Six sixes? I can always come back next over. All I need is just one ball to get him [the batsman] out." Unlike other bowlers who remember their wickets, Sreesanth remembers how many catches were dropped off him. "They will tell me I took x number of wickets but I will add these dropped catches to them. It helps me lift myself when my mood is down." Sreesanth's brother actually records the number of dropped catches and keeps him informed and motivated. In February, Sreesanth will once again encounter the likes of Matthew Hayden and Andrew Symonds with whom he has had run-ins in the past. Unless he has mellowed down during his forced rest, expect more fiery exchanges on the field. Sriram Veera is a staff writer at Cricinfo © Cricinfo

dont bring sreesanth anyone who has talked big b4 playing in this series, has performed poorly

[retterimp]

he can talk all he wants....ive never really rated this guy...he is all ''style''(if you can call it that), and no substance, just like those pseudo-technically brilliant but lacking in any substance new hindi movies. the opposition would only react in one way --> loads of laughter at sreesanth's crap lets see if he does anything useful in the forthcoming series BTW, when have you EVER heard a bowler describe his bowling technique changes??? others always say something like ''ive worked on improvements hear and there'' and so forth....sreesanth is just so full of himself

Sreesanth has breached ICC CoC the most MUMBAI, January 29: Indian cricketers, by and large, have behaved well on the field of play in the last two calendar years and Harbhajan Singh's offence committed in the January 2-6 Sydney Test against Australia is only the sixth instance of a player from the country being booked under the ICC's Code of Conduct in 20 months. Harbhajan Singh, who got great support from the cricket board, which appointed VR Manohar as the players Counsel to argue his case from Mumbai via a teleconference when his appeal was heard by New Zealand's Appeals Commissioner John Hansen in Adelaide, is the first in this year to cope a punishment for breach of the ICC's CoC. He was on Tuesday fined 50 per cent of his match fees after being found guilty of breaching Code 2.8 (for using abusive language against Australian all rounder Andrew Symonds) after being absolved of uttering racist remarks at his opponent, for which he had been banned for three Tests earlier by ICC match referee Mike Procter, and against which he had gone in appeal. Barring a lone infringement by Virender Sehwag of Code 1.5 for excessive appealing, it had been another temperamental Indian player, S Sreesanth, who alone had been found guilty of breaching the CoC before Harbhajan in the last two years. Sehwag was found guilty for appealing excessively during the June 2-5, 2006, first Test against the West Indies at St. Johns, Antigua and was fined 20 per cent of his match fees by ICC match referee Jeff Crowe. Then Sreesanth faced the wrath of match referee Roshan Mahanama of Sri Lanka and found guilty of Level 1 breach of Code 1.1 (logo policy) and Level 1 breach of Code C 1 (conduct contrary to the spirit of the game) during the first Test between India and South Africa at Johannesburg in December, 2006. The Kerala-born speedster, who missed the Test series in Australia due to a shoulder injury, was fined a total of 30 per cent of his match fees for the two offences. It was Sreesanth again who got into the bad books of the ICC match referee twice last year and was fined 50 and 25 per cent respectively by the concerned authorities. He was found guilty of Level 2 breach of Code 2.4 (inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between players in the course of play) by Madugalle on the first occasion during the England-India second Test in July-end at Trent Bridge. Later, the same player got docked 25 per cent of his match fee by Chris Broad of England for excessive appealing in the T20 World Cup semi-final against Australia at Durban on September 22, 2007.

Yes count those dropped catches too which would have made the wicket count at 5 or 6. He is going to be one of the best Pace bowlers. Just wait!

[Kartikey]

it will be nice to see him. Just in bowling terms we need him cuz Zaheer and RP r injured. But he needs to cut down his aggression cuz the Aussies will get on his back.
