Never thought we would miss Sree' date='what a head case though[/quote'] India has rarely won matches knocking stumps all over with raw pace. Swing bowling is our strength. You have to swing the ball in the air a lot.

Sree :(( Wow whatta a talent gone waste...Also Sreeshanth's spell against SL to win a test match was brilliant display of reverse swing
One area he is different from other bowlers we have seen is maintaining of intensity throughout his spell. At no point he will give a sorry look even if he is absolute crap which he was in England lol.

What a penetrative bowling that was from Sree and Zak.. I want our bowlers bustle and hustle make use of helpful pitches. HE was landing the ball perfectly on the seam and bowling accurately.Those were not 145k thunderbolts we are having orgasming over. Superb channel, superb length and superb accuracy.

i remember Sree's great bouncer to get kallis last time' date='what a waste.[/quote'] That was not a bouncer but just took off from short of length. More to do with pitch than the bowler.

Sreesanth never swung the ball in the air a lot. It was always late after pitching.

Wrong. Sreesanth could never maintain intensity, lacked stamina to do that. He would try but could not maintain pace and accuracy. All his aggression was fake which he used to do once he tires out. Still remember 2010 last test, Sreesanth was bowling at 125K when we needed just one wicket of either Kallis or Boucher, both Zaheer and Sreesanth lost steam and Zaheer was even bowling at 115K, Sreesanth as low as 125K. How can you forget 2011 WC final where he steamed in like jet for first 2-3 overs and then lost steam and was struggling to even complete his runup and looked like he would fall at any time while running and that was embarrassing to see.

I vaguely remember kumble before he made an impact in the 92 England series really troubled the South Africans on that tour.....also Srinath and prasad were real good in the 96 series.....only if we had half a decent 3rd seamer

He was very accurate the entire morning..
