Trichromatic Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Well he clocked 142km/h faster than other indian bowlers in this test On an average he was much slower than Ishant. He bowled with good speed in 1-2 spells, otherwise he was slow and rubbish most of the time. No wonder his average speed was just around 81 mph. Link to comment
Cricket Tragic Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 His performance is going down as he continues to play test matches. Even stats would give the same idea. His avg and SR are going higher. He needs to work hard with his bowling. Just because he is talented doesn't mean that a place in the team should be reserved for him. He should definitely play a season of FC cricket but maybe he just isn't good enough? :dontknow: He does some tailunt but his FC stats are pretty mediocre. He was picked more on potential rather than performance. How often do people with poor FC stats become world class test bowlers? Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Let him start by playing a full season of FC cricket and earning his place in the team. he wont even take wickets there. whenever he played FC matches in last 4-5 years, he has struggled. Link to comment
Fontaine Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Sreesanth has no reason to play in FC either. As long as idiotic selectors keep picking him in squads, he has no incentive to go to FC and spend the effort/energy to bowl long and hard in difficult conditions. Guys like Pathan AT LEAST keep trying to get into the team again by working hard in FC cricket. Sreesanth couldn't be bothered. And who can blame him? I think he was playing for Kerala last year and got a final warning from the BCCI/fined etc because he was abusing/swearing at a batsman. He knows he's on thin ice. Another stupid incident and he could get his contract revoked or severely disciplined. Link to comment
