You don't see anything wrong in a bunch of players picking on a teammate in public? You don't see anything wrong in our captain placating an opposing team's captain (a whinin' Graeme Smith, of all people) by assuring him that his player won't do anything wrong henceforth, and then allowing that news to become public? You seriously don't?
asterix Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I hope Santa gets dropped from the ODI team and comes back home. A demoralised, lonly, bullied by his own teammates, player will not be able to give his 100% and might be detrimental to the teams chance, given the way he has been treated by Captain and his team mates in the public.. I hope he gets dropped and takes a break. Let the team be FREE of him..
HowardRoark Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 That's primarily because Dhoni does "Chennai's Whistle Podu"..I'm not surprised many :csk: fans fighting it out in various threads..:giggle: I do 'Whistle Podu' as well, but please do not generalise. I do not support Dhoni in this regard - he seems to be putting his 'nice guy image' above everything else and as a result sold Sree down the river. He has lost my respect for taking the opposition captain's side in public. Ganguly was a much better leader when it came to standing up for his team.
fineleg Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Does anyone have video clipping of Ravi Shastri Interview with Sreesanth on Day 5? (where he talked about the 10% fine and the incident at Cape Town)
Fontaine Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Way to miss the point' date=' Einstein. No one is saying Sree is absolutely right and Dhoni is absolutely wrong. All I, and a few others, are asking for is not to deal with this issue publicly and hang a juicy steak in front of the rabid media. A captain, among other things, needs to ensure to the outside world that everything in the dressing room is all fine and dandy, [b']even when it actually is not. Ricky Ponting's teammates seemed to get that memo when they put their foot down and didn't give anything to the media after the Ponting-Dar fracas and our captain couldn't resist being a boy-scout. Enough said! And a word of advice: Refrain from using the "hysterical" smiley when you're swinging and missing almost every time. I don't see any reason for you to gloat at your ineptitude to grasp what's being said or posting a cogent response. You obviously seem to have picked a side in this issue and your response reeks of bias, whereas those castigating Dhoni for his handling of this issue, are keeping it unbiased. You would have a point if Dhoni had said something sensational and publicly humiliated Sreesanth. He didn't. He simply stated the obvious that Sree needs to get through his overs in a timely manner and be under control during his spells. It's the same advice given to him time and again by plenty of others. So stop sensationalizing what was said. There's no media frenzy or intense scrutiny over Dhoni's comments. You need to get over it and move on.

Very unfortunate for him to be playing with these types of team mates and a khassi captain.. Are you serious? Everyone from Zaheer Khan to Sachin constantly talk to Sree and encourage him on the field to talking to him about his bowling. I've only seen Bhajji shout at Sree and thats when Sreesanth was lazy in retrieving the ball headed towards the boundary rope and took his time throwing it back.
CG Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Dude, I don't know if you remember but it was x-mas/new year's so yeah I had better things to do than constantly log on here. But I gave Sree plenty of credit when I came back, only to see him disintegrate again in the final innings. How predictable. were you sleeping?sreesanth came so close to winning us the match that spell to kallis was the key if dhoni had not been a ass we could have won the test.

You do not publicly humiliate a teammate ,what has sree done wrong killed somebody?,if southafricans say something they have to hear back also,so what family is involved.if you could lipread harbhajan when he went near sreesant in the last innings after he was slow in fielding said madarc**d itna slow kyun hai,bhajji uses such words to his teammates,its culture thing we have uneducated cricketers or small town players like dhoni whose mindset is to earn as much money as they can.when dravid or kumble,dada were captain how well they handled these things.

I guess it ain't bad until journos are haranguing you at your doorstep with flashing bulbs and yelling out queries, huh? Dude, buy a clue if you can't get one. Dhoni has already humiliated Sreesanth, regardless of the news being absolutely non-sensational. And let me yell this into your skull-cave if you still don't get it- I DON'T CARE IF IT WAS SREESANTH OR ZAHEER OR ISHANT...YOU DON'T FRIGGIN' SPEAK SUCH **** TO THE MEDIA. Capiche?

Sounds like you still haven't gotten over it. Apparently you're wrong. Plenty of captains routinely and publicly state when a bowler needs to do a better job. It's not Dhoni's problem if hyper sensitive cry babies like you have a problem with it. I'm sure there's a hotline you can call and talk to someone about your emotional distress. Either way I don't care, so get over it or go play in traffic.
asterix Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I think Dhoni and Sreesanth certainly has some history.. The Dhoni-Harbhajan business partnership could also be another factor.. Sreesanth antics don't please Dhoni Johannesburg: Indian skipper Mahendra Dhoni is not impressed with paceman S Sreesanth's antics which have got him into trouble often. The Kerala bowler was fined 25 per cent of his match fees for excessive appealing against Australia in the semi-final of the Twenty World Championship in Durban on Saturday. "Sreesanth needs to draw the line somewhere. Getting banned for four or five matches is not what you want. It is neither good for the team nor for himself," said Dhoni. "As the captain, I have to take responsibility for him because someone has to keep him in control," added the captain. Sreesanth had an off-colour tournament here before coming up with the prize scalps of Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden at crucial junctures in the semi-final. http://cricketnext.in.com/news/sreesanth-antics-dont-please-dhoni/27109-13.html --------------------------- On a bowlers day-out, Chennai have the last laugh The first came when a gem of a delivery from Kerala express S Sreesanth yorked Chennai captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni just at the stroke of strategy break and heavily turned the balance of the match in favour of Kings XI Punjab. The dismissal saw Sreesanth go wild in celebration as he ran across the Kingsmead, and his celebration was nothing short of relieving the historic Misbah catch in the inaugural T20 World Cup finals. http://cricket.zeenews.com/fullstory.aspx?nid=20382 ----------------------------- The Dhoni – Sreesanth Jugalbandi, Gone horribly wrong! While the news is still ripe across the cricketing world with the Dhoni – Sehwag spat, I have decided to add some high combustion fuel to that already rousing fire. But the focus of this story is going to involve just one person from the above list and another from our land, Kochi. I’m talking about Sreesanth and Dhoni, If we Jog our memory, It all started becoming alarmingly open after the slapgate incident, Dhoni gave a statement to the media saying that some people deserve to get slapped and Sree would have definitely provoked Harbhajan (Yeah, That saint from Punjab) From then on it has been a crazy PR campaign by these 2 cricketers against Sree, who incidentally has not played for India since. Let’s look at this year’s IPL, The first match Sree plays after a long layoff, he gets a hiding from Hayden, and then Hayden makes it a point to come to the media and talk about how he thinks the bowler is over rated and all that. Guess who isthe captain of the Chennai super Kings?, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The second time the teams met Dhoni got a snorter, an fast in-swinging yorker and the off stump goes for a walk, and Sree goes for a run on the field to celebrate. Cut to the next days TOI, and the headline of column by Dhoni says ‘ I Don’t know why Sreesanth went for a run’. Hello Mr. Captain, did you notice one Pragyan Ohja running around the field celebrating every time he got a wicket and sometimes bad mouthing the opposition. Ever seen your dear friend Harbhajan sending off batsmen he dismissed?, heard of a rookie bowler called Sandeep Tyagi who did a lap of honor when he dismissed one of the Bangalore Royal challengers batsmen??. Sree definitely deserved to celebrate a unbelievable delivery which had Dhoni seeing stars I guess it is different yardsticks for different people, maybe it is all because we are ‘Madrasi’s’, or maybe it has something to do with a certain Lakshmi Rai. Speculation just speculation. http://www.kochivibe.com/the-dhoni-%E2%80%93-sreesanth-jugalbandi-gone-horribly-wrong/ ----------------------------------- Dhoni pleased with Sreesanth's behaviour He was also pleased with Sreesanth's behaviour and attitude in the Test. “He was aggressive but he controlled his aggression. As long as he does not cross the line, it is good for everyone, teammates, captain, the umpires and the match-referee.” http://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/article55804.ece ----------------------------------- Sreesanth Having Fun with Dhoni Girlfriend Lakshmi Rai - Exclusive Pictures http://www.zimbio.com/Bollywood+Actresses/articles/ZD3ZJUQHdAI/Sreesanth+Fun+Dhoni+Girlfriend+Lakshmi+Rai ------------------------------------ Lakshmi Rai denies love with Dhoni and Sreesanth Lakshmi Rai, 'Kanchanamala Cable TV' fame is not getting any offers in Telugu and audience too forgot heroine. After doing her debut film, Heroine shifted to Chennai and did some Tamil, Malayalam films but she hadn't settled there. Now Lakshmi Rai is maintaining a friendly relationship with Cricket stars Dhoni and Sreesanth. There are Rumors that she also loved them but she is denying the gossips and said, "I like cricket very much and maintained a relationship, with that it is not Love" Source: http://www.cinehour.com/gossips/kollywood/903/lakshmi-rai-denies-love-with-dhoni-and-sreesanth.html#ixzz1ALrzDMyI --------------------------------------- Sreesanth hit with bottles by SAfrican fans, Dhoni plays 'Gandhi' Play was disrupted for about five minutes on the third day of the final Test between India and South Africa after Indian seamer S Sreesanth was hit by some empty bottles while mending the boundary line during the hosts second innings here yesterday. While Dhoni chose to ignore the outrageous behaviour of the fans to ensure goodwill remained on the field of play, yet this deliberate 'Gandhiism' or 'Gandhigiri' may backfire if the crowd thinks Indians are pushovers. The incident happened in the ninth over of South Africa's second innings when Sreesanth was fielding at the long leg area at Wynberg end. He immediately walked up to the umpire Simon Taufel and had a word. Soon senior Indian players, including Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, and MS Dhoni got into a huddle and discussed the matter. Dhoni was seen smiling and having a light discussion with Sreesanth, while the umpires Taufel and Ian Gould spoke over the walkie-talkie. Taufel also had a word with Dhoni. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/sreesanth-hit-with-bottles-by-safrican-fans-dhoni-plays-gandhi/733668/ --------------------------------- Finally: Video: 7-1 (Watch from 6:00 onwards). http://www.cricketonlinetv.com/day-3-india-vs-south-africa-3rd-test-cape-town/ ---------------------------------------- Dhoni and Sreesanth might have a history and I wish Sree should behave himself and be careful because he has a history with Dhoni, Dhoni is a business partner of Harbhajan, Dhoni is not like previous captains who would like to stand up for their players (even if the players are at wrong and have racially abused opponents and have stood in tribunals), Sreesanth might have some relationships with Dhoni's ex-GF (speculations, but who knows) etc. We don't want to loose a good strike bowler because of ego clashes between the captain and a tempramental albiet emotional/stupid bowler and other factors (Bhajji as business partner and Bhajji working slyly in the background).. Hence I wish that Sree should mend his ways, given the amount of groupism and coterie culture in the team and given the fact that the captain has hidden issues.. Hope everything is sorted out amicably..If you are in a company, don't go against your boss unless you want your career to be destroyed.. achilles 1

I'm just wishing that Santa mends his ways because his boss is bit different than his predeccessors and might have hidden issues or people around him doing 'chinese whispers'..Just wishing that he understands the situation, mends his ways and doesn't crosses his boss's path.. Don't want to lose a good bowler..because of ego clashes..
Zero_Unit Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 So when he opens his mouth to talk rubbish then it's ok for him but when someone else gives it to him he breaks down in tears? What a crap **** ... he deserves to be made fun off I never liked him for his stupidity

What a crap **** ... he deserves to be made fun off I never liked him for his stupidity When was the last time Sreesanth just bowled well consistenty without creating any controversy and drama on or off the pitch? This guy is such an over hyped drama queen.
King Tendulkar Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 All the other wickets have come about through very good bowling.AND THAT'S IT. What you don't understand is that when Sreesanth bowls well it's when he concentrates on his bowling rather than sledging and other theatrics. . But you have been telling us how he is a donkey and a clown. How he is a rubbish bowler and is no good and how he cant take wickets blah blah. You changed your tune double quick.:giggle:
achilles Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 ^^ KT, Welcome situation for us that Fontaine is looking at things from a different prism.

As in this thread he says sree bowled well, while in another thread he is maintaining he did not bowl well. It shows he is not sincere in what he is saying and just being an opportunist!
