Is Sreesanth innocent?

[Franco Vazquez]

I was watching BB where he told his fixing story and he said that he was falsely accused of fixing match for 10 lacs rupees. Do you think he had been mistreated by BCCI because there are many people who are in his support now 

[The Dark Horse]

He was cleared by the court. At least he should have been allowed to play other leagues to make a living. Not fair IMO.

[Khota]

They have yet to show or prove to me that he was guilty. They are shameless bastards who ruined his career. He was the most exciting cricket player from India.

[Bigg Brother]

The way he was arrested was horrific.(He described in Arnab's interview that He felt like Some murderer was arrested,He was coming from a party and Even His driver ran away the way Police was talking and abusing to him).

 

Money should never been his problem as He was playing IPL and I think He was still in BCCI's annual contract list(Not sure)

 

Agreed that He was hyper aggressive which was not needed at times but He was passionate to play for country. I dont know but some of the Dhoni fans were abusing him on twitter 2 days ago,Did he say something about Dhoni on Bigg Boss? I dont watch BB. 

[Rightarmfast]

We all know that there was one player who didnt like him. This player openly used to speak against him, mock him. I smell a rat. This person Sreesanth had a tiff with, was and is powerful. I am talking about Dhoni. If he isn't involved in all this, I would be very surprised. I reckon Dhoni is the one who played this game to get him out. 

I know people are going to jump at me with this conspiracy theory. But who throws a match for 10 lac rs? Thats chillar for any cricketer.

Court cleared him of criminal charges. That has nothing to do with action taken by BCCI.

The way Dhoni's holding onto his spot, I definitely feel something fishy with Dhoni the person. I've always felt he's a good character apart from his activities on the field, but I'm not so sure now.

He was arrested for spot fixing right? And got absolved..means he didn't commit the crime..Banning from playing in India was enough..why from all leagues is beyond me.

And that his name was in the sealed envelope and he openly defended mayippan

Sreesanth has been cleared by the court and he should be allowed to play county cricket atleast. Didn't BCCI felicitate Azhar in some function for test captains?

Sreesanth was only cleared of the criminal charges under Mcoca and not civil charges. Also delhi police has appealed his clearance and supreme court has stated sreesanth ban in all cricket has to remain in place till delhi court reviews the case

Dhoni picked him in important Final ahead of Ashwin. So no,Dhoni had no problem with him 

 

Sreesanth is very hard to handle(Almost impossible) as he has been showing in the current reality show..Freaking irritating and no amount of talent can justify this type of behaviour. Being passionate and aggressive is different thing and being lunatic is different. Obviously no captain would like to handle such player,So Dhoni being openly vocal about his behaviour was absolutely fine.

Won't jump into anything

But he did say he used to bowl 150 k.lol

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

What do we expect him to say? That he fixed matches?

 

Remember Danish Kaneria kept denying fixing charges before finally his conscience forced him to open up and accept that he did make a mistake. Hopefully something similar happens to our fixers - Azhar, Jadeja, Mongia, Prabhakar and Sreesanth.

 

I also hope some Supreme Court judge finally gathers the courage to open up the sealed envelope and ban everyone named by Lodha. As fans , that's the least we deserve.

You are correct.

 

10 lakh ..these guys can get to go and advertise a brand for a 2 hour shòoting..it's like 10000 INR for me.

 

It's not even imaginable. 

Sreesanth is a dancer too..he can earn that kind of money by dancing too..he is a rare talent.

His aggression pulled him to outperform and someone was angry with him n so he was treated this way.

He did bowl 145k in Africa and Australia and I think his fastest was 149 or 150k so he did touch 150. Umesh and Aaron and srinath got up to 153 or 154k too.

 

He could Swing and bowl quite fast at his best.

He got Sachin beaten by pace on Indian pitches..he made kallis dance.

 

He was as talented as Zak or Srinath..

Deserved a much bigger international career.

 

Who ever ruined his career should also get ruined.

May be, I didn't watch it then

But as much as i have seen him bowl,i have never seen him once crossing 146 at his peak, maybe it was an aberration

Do not belittle Zak and Srinath by comparing him to Sreesanth.

 

Look at Sree's bowling stats across formats - had very few achievements, averaging 35+ in FC and List A, 32 in T20s. He was capable of bowling a couple of good spells but had  horrible work ethic, a very poor attitude and no desire to improve as a bowler. Success in that SA series of 2006 got to his head and he regressed from thereon.
