Prakat Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 No matter how much you hate him you would never think of him being capable of fixing. it's not something that goes with a maverick attitude. The dancing, the overwrought expressions on-field, the antics and the celebrations for dismissals. The twitter meltdown and the movie stardom. He is too much of a down-home boy who loves his mother's cooking and enjoys his toddy and fish with school friends kind of guy to become a match fixer. But then again it's exactly what a maverick would try. It would be safe to say his career is over if it weren't for the BCCI.

The mind goes back to an afternoon few years back in the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. Sreesanth was sulking; it was his natural state of being those days. He had been out of the team for a while then, and was recuperating from injuries, and he started to vent about how he was ignored by his Indian team-mates. "Not one have messaged me or asked me how I am doing." That was then. Now he gets messages from bookies. Did that stage of vulnerability, feeling of being an outsider in a system, especially for someone who craves attention, make him so bitter that he started to slip into this dark abyss? The Delhi Police commissioner Neeraj Kumar had a fascinating thing to say about how the bookies target a player. "They find a 'talent', someone vulnerable enough who can be compromised". A vulnerable Sreesanth was obviously a prime candidate." It's the classic case of his low self-esteem, vulnerability, and uncertain future making him the classic bakra for shady people. Sad, really.

Totally wrong.
pinkfreud Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Totally wrong. How? Sreesanth was always full of **** but that doesn't take away from the fact that he was an obvious target for bookies. He wouldn't have found a spot in the national playing XI even if he had a good IPL.
velu Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 saw him once in bangalore in a mall.. he was down to earth and uber friendly to my utter surprise money can buy most of the things :winky:
Prakat Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 @pinkfreud interesting hypothesis. Disappointed young man with broken dreams turns to the dark side. The story of Paan Singh Tomar.
Magneto Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 saw him once in bangalore in a mall.. he was down to earth and uber friendly to my utter surprise money can buy most of the things :winky: Sreesanth is mostly like that outside the field. Not the gullible nautanki-loving guy he seems to be on the field. There are two sides to his personality.
FischerTal Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Sreesanth is mostly like that outside the field. Not the gullible nautanki-loving guy he seems to be on the field. There are two sides to his personality. multi personality disorder.
Magneto Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Assuming, he really did it - He was chest thumping on twitter about his honesty and passion about the game and then going to pubs and meeting the bookies to discuss how to spot-fix :hmmm:
prasadiyer Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Sreesanth is being rail-roaded, as per his lawyer! He is not just slightly innocent, he is totally innocent!

Moncy Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 I honestly didn't see it coming. My kidneys tell me that it's the tip of the iceberg. It just happened that they got caught in this edition of the IPL. I bet they have been doing like this since 2008.

Ram Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 This notion that certain types of people are more likely to cheat/indulge in corruption is laughable. Just because somebody looks all seedha-saadha, does not mean they're not capable of malpractice.
superstar Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 No one from work sends me SMS :( So can I start selling company info? Stupid journalists trying to create sensation. Sreesanth brought it upon himself with his antics on the pitch.
gakgupta Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 No one from work sends me SMS :( So can I start selling company info? Stupid journalists trying to create sensation. Sreesanth brought it upon himself with his antics on the pitch. It's a wrong comparison.....sports is completely different from corporate world
gakgupta Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 I am a big fan of sreesanth.....He is a genuine pace bowler for India after Srinath. But again srinath was too humble/kind for a pace bowler. Only if sreesanth would have controlled few aspects of his personality; he could have been in the same league of zaheer and india would have won many more test matches outside sub-continent. Who could forget SA series where he run down a formidable SA team - single handily with super ease. He maintained same intensity thru out that series Well...but for this heinous act; he should be banned from the Indian cricket completely and should be put behind bars for 7 to 8 yrs. BCCI should set an example for the future generation. If he is not put behind bars then there is no difference between India and our padosi country..... But now; sreesanth has done enough to be in the congress party .... Is he a fan of azharrudin?
Jersey #10 Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 He was just trying to make a quick buck. Rajasthan won all those matches anyway.
jf1gp_1 Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Full name Shanthakumaran Sreesanth Current age 30 years 101 days He isnt a kid who had no clue what he was happening around him. No place for cheats like him.
jf1gp_1 Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 He was just trying to make a quick buck. Rajasthan won all those matches anyway. so was Mohammad Amir who was 12yrs younger than sreesanth and went to prison for something similiar
