Dravid_TheWall Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 ^ exactly I still cant believe comapring Dale Steyn n Sreesanth is belittling Sreesanth:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: I didn't mean belittling in that sense. Like I said skill wise, they are both similar. I meant the person who started that thread wanted others to crack jokes regarding the star Indian seamer. Probably a paki but going on their forums the other day, they regard him as one of our best seamers.
Dravid_TheWall Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/429032.html This what Donald said on Sreesanth. If it was an appraisal, the summary would read "Massive fail, doesn't deserve to play for the country" :)) Putting things in bold doesn't mean other things are ignored. Eric Simons: I haven't met someone as yet with the skills of Sreesanth. He bowled a spell to the Australians in Bangalore when the ball was reversing and I felt that, maybe, there would be only one or two more in the world who could do what Sreesanth did in that spell. His skills are just phenomenal. Allan Donald: SreesanthÃÔ always had the talent, itÃÔ just that he appeared to have distractions, too... Whenever weÃ×e had a chat, IÃ×e told him that the ability he has must be translated into wickets... HeÃÔ begun to do that... HeÃÔ got to remember that itÃÔ up to him alone to realise his potential. Fanie de Villiers: SreesanthÃÔ world class and deserves to be among the top-three fast bowlers... I like his attitude, which is that of a bulldog... However, Sreesanth needs to do two things: Add at least 5 kmph to his speed and swing the ball from closer to off... At the moment, heÃÔ swinging far too away... I had similar problems, but good advice sorted things out for me... Somebody should work with Sreesanth.

Cricket Tragic Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 How many matches has Sree played for India since this legendary thread was started?
Marut Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 He has shown in bursts the skills he possesses. Through injury, misforturne, team management, captain, he has failed to translate his talent into being world class. Also he is skilled in many areas so has become distracted. When you are good at too many things or have many hobbies it is difficult to devote to one. Donald himself said Sree is amazing. He probably thinks between Steyn and Sree there is not much skill difference, difference is in application. I value Chappel, Donald input more than ICF analysis. In fact that is why you see Sree/Steyn comparision because it is genuine like you see Tindu/Lara comparision. I mentioned it before myself. The guy should be our leading bowler and captain but life doesn't always work out that way. Tindu/Lara comparison arises because they are statistically comparable. Sree is way behind Steyn on every bowling parameter of interest. He is like a batsman who scores a hundred once every 15 tests and scores in the digits every other time. Some consistancy is also an important aspect of talent.
