This guy is our best pacer since Kapil. Has it all. Where is he? We are messing up with selection big time. He can get swing at 90mph plus even when conditions not conducive.

Sreesanth said he had been inspired by the story of American tennis player Lleyton Hewitt. “I have had six operations on my feet. I have steel rods and two steel screws [inserted] as well. The only international athlete who has done it like me is the tennis player Lleyton Hewitt. He was a former World No 1 tennis player and he has returned to play. “When I read that Hewitt had the same surgery on his leg, he became my motivation. The only difference is he had the same surgery like mine on one leg, but I had it on two legs. I have started sprinting and it is going to be a great challenge to even get back to the field. I am enjoying the challenge and I know if I can be patient, I can get back [to playing]. Getting back on to the field will be the biggest challenge rather than getting selected,” added Sreesanth with strong determination visible on his face. Sreesanth has also drawn inspiration from Yuvraj Singh’s comeback from cancer. “If Yuvi [Yuvraj] can do it despite cancer, I am sure I too can do it. He will also be my motivation,” said the 29-year-old, who has always produced top performances against England. When asked about the India-England series, Sreesanth said: “I am sure England are going to have a very tough series. It is very tough to defeat us at home. I think it is going to be a one-sided affair for India and we will win the series easily.

^^^ Isn't Lleyton Hewitt an Aussie? Sreesanth will get his chance in the near future given the state of our bowling.

Interesting. Seems like he has had it tough even off the pitch. Hope to see him back.

[suraj]

I think he is cooked- was not that great to start with anyway

Probably journalist error.

He has mastered the art of reverse swing and would have been a handful in Kolkata.

To bowl reverse swing you have to be fit enough to last till the ball gets old.....I have been a supporter of Sree for a while but they way he has handled his fitness has been a disappointment and it's time we started giving up on him.

I think him and Yadav can be a good partnership. Both can be inaccurate but take wickets. I don't see any other bowler we have currently who can take test wickets. Pankaj should get a go.

Kerala express Sreesanth gearing for comeback http://www.thatscricket.com/news/2012/08/24/kerala-express-sreesanth-gearing-for-comeback-064201.html I think this is a very big boost for our test team in particular. Particular comment which stuck out for me: "I think it is going to be amazing. Because, this is the best time I ever had. I am using this time to make sure I come back really stronger and I will," he said.

He's playing for his club Muthoot Pappachan group in Kochi.

This is very good news. We need a pool of players with serious talent that we can call upon. Anderson got wickets with swing and bit of pace. That was missing this test for us. Lucky people who can go and watch him bowl for local club.

[Eternal Atma]

^ Anyone in India go to watch him? I know it's a club game, he is the kind of player I would choose for Nagpur even if half fit. We need swing and seam. Munaf maybe too. Plus the opposition do fear him more because he can change a game.

[puneet28]

His team won and he got 2 wickets in 4.4 overs. He tweeted out that..
