Sreesanth- our mental disintegration weapon

Let us not bridle in Sreesanth. Lets hope the Indian team management realizes his value and let him loose.
Directly or indirectly, Sreesanth has played a major role in two of our recent overseas wins.

Far too long, we have been at the receiving end and knowing that we have a bowler who can give as well as he gets will add ‘spine’ to our batting. Surely, you will not see KP stepping up the pitch in a bid to unsettle, nor will you see others sweep our medium pacers.

Let us not be apologetic about having him in our team. Let his ‘bad boy’ image play on the oppositions mind. Let him not take a single wicket again in his career. Let us have him in our team as our mental disintegration weapon. Let the opposition know that we are not ‘jellybeans’ but hot spicy Indian ‘curry’. Let them know we are serious and mean business.

Let them know we here to kick arse!

G.R.Vishwanath- the next Indian coach?

BCCI President Sharad Pawar said that the Indian team would have a coach within a month. Other than, his cryptic assurance and rumors that BCCI plans to advertise for one, there is little evidence of their seriousness.

Curiously, the photograph accompanying the news showed G.R.Vishwanath sitting alongside Mr. Pawar.

Should we read anything more into it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Arseholes of International cricket.

Commenting on the ensuing sledging controversy,Simon Barnes chief sportswriter at The Times writes, “The England cricket team are suffering from confusion. The players believe to a man that behaving like an arsehole makes you a better cricketer. The fact is that it doesn’t. It only makes you an arsehole”.

Trifle harsh to describe the England team as arseholes. You can count atleast one gentleman among them. However, if you are itching to nominate any one team as the Arseholes of International cricket, I suggest the Australians. They are ahead of the others by a mile.

When it comes to consistent uncouth and downright boorish behaviour they are the undisputed champions, nee arseholes.

Turn down the mike.

Guardian Unlimited reports that England coach Peter Moores has defended the conduct of his players and believes stump microphones should be turned down and called for more on-field privacy during matches.

Would it not be easier to ask the players to shut up and get on with the game?
