Raina v Sreesanth

[cameron_black]

india seriously need some fast bowling talent to replace zaheer. maybe bring in unadkat again? he seems to be doing well in australia atm...

[Fontaine]

oh yes bowling 35 over is easy' date='really if somebody plays cricket and knows how hard it is to play for a club side let one play for country.nobody get where they are with out hard work[/quote'] Sree started bowling 77mph this morning so stop making excuses. Sorry but I'll take the opinion of the great fast bowler and professional bowling coach Alan Donald over your opinions. Unless you play club/professional cricket YOU DON'T KNOW what you're talking about either. That's why I'm not saying it's my opinion, but Alan Donald's professional opinion that Sree isn't a hard worker. Donald worked personally with Sree and criticized his work ethic/habits and how he approaches it in public to the media.

But, but, but Sree is a wicket taker! Sree tries hard! Sree bowls with passion! .

.... not to mention "Seam position" :-)

Dada also made an interesting point about Sree to which Harsha and Shastri also agreed. He said Sreesanth is a lovely lad to talk to and is all ears when you talk to him about his bowling and trying new things. But then the moment he walks away, he forgets everything and gets lost in his own comfort zone.

At 28 years old with 6 years of international cricket Sreesanth hasn't improved. At least when he was younger, he was relatively fit and could at least last a few spells. Now as the senior most bowler without Bhajji/Zaheer he's not fit enough to bowl even in the low 80's. His pace has consistently been 77-79 in this match. He's wasted the new ball by spraying it around the place while Ishant Sharma at least is fit enough to keep bowling around 84mph and PK consistent enough to tie down one end. Sree should be ashamed but something tells me he's too simple minded to even grasp that concept. I wonder what the donkey has been tweeting tonight?

[Karan114]

^ It really is shameful how dreadful he has been considering that Ishant and PK have been dead tired, bowling in six Tests straight over the past 1.5 months (and with hardly any break because of our embarrassing batting lately). This was the time, if ever, to step up, but alas.

[Fontaine]

Time to move on. Send this underachieving, unfit cricketer back to domestic cricket and give other bowlers a chance.

[VRV Singh]

Monkeysanth ought to be cut loose. Frankly his one dream spell in ten can't be relied on forever given what is served up inbetween, as brilliant as it can be (ask the Saffers). But lord knows who is up and coming.

[CSK Fan]

Well Sree does not seem to have problems with short balls at least, he has outsocred Raina

Are you the dancing donkey himself?? :omg::omg:

RfCDnnn0Dn8 you mean this

[Abracadabra]

lol at sreeshanths bowling record, btw both sreeshanth and raina are good at these In Srees defence as a bowler, he did alright and it was just the pitch had very low bounce and lot of chances went begging at the slip cordon falling a lil bit short.

We forget he got 5 wickets just 1 test before and 5 wikets last test,this pitch is flat and english batsman are doing well,same with ishant he got 22 wickets in wi and people call for there heads ,as if somebody will come from domestic cricket and take wickets at 25 and bowl fast and play short ball well, we have seen kohli got exposed in wi ,raina works hard at his game and should overcome this problem

[GrassHoppers]

Disgusting, I think Donkeysanth must be gay. I guess if he comes out in the open and accepts it, it might sort out half his mental retardedness

[CG]

Disgusting' date=' I think Donkeysanth must be gay. I guess if he comes out in the open and accepts it, it might sort out half his mental retardedness[/quote'] actually he has behaved well this series ,just bowl and not open his mouth. By the way grasshopers are gay

[tapish]

Sree beat the bat on numerous occasions but on the whole he and Ishant both have been disappointing. I would give RP and Munaf chance to leak 150 runs in the coming test, after all even our constitution says "Equal chances to all"

so what are our batsmen doing????swollen dickheads couldn't even score 300 on the flat wicket.

cmon man you know exactly what happened. batsmen went in expecting the ball to swing and played for swing after seeing the seam position. but almost every delivery went on without any deviation and batsmen ended up playing inside or outside the line of the delivery. frankly speaking indians were cheated.

[Abracadabra]

ok lets say that was the case lol
