MR. PREM YOU SOUND MORE LIKE PREM CHOPRA. WHEN ALL THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS ARE USING ABUSIVE LANGUAGE HOW DOES THE INDIAN TEAM RESPOND? THEY HAVE TO COUNTER THEM. BHAJJI IS ON RECORD SAYING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN USING ABUSIVE LANGUAGE. GIVE SOME WEIGHTAGE TO WHAT OUR TEAM MEMBERS ARE SAYING. SO WHERE IS THE CONFUSION. SREESANTH, IN FACT, SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO GO ALL OUT AGAINST THESE AUSTRALIANS. BUT ALL OUR MEDIA, ADMINISTRATORS AND VIEWING PUBLIC SEEMED TO BE APOLOGETIC ABOUT HIS BEHAVIOUR BECAUSE WE ARE NEW TO THIS GAME (OF CHATTER OR TALK OR ABUSIVE LANGUAGE). BUT THE DAY IS NOT FAR WHEN WE WILL ALSO HAVE TO USE THE SAME TACTICS AS OTHERS HAVE BEEN USING. PEOPLE LIKE SREE, BHAJJI, ROBIN HAVE MADE A GOOD START. BUT THAT HAS TO BE BACKED BY PERFORMANCE TOO. SREESANTH'S PERFORMANCE IN THIS SERIES WAS VERY ENCOURAGING (9 WICKETS IN 4 GAMES AND HIS ECONOMY RATE WAS ALSO NOT VERY BAD IN COMPARISON TO DEFENSIVE BOWLERS LIKE PATHAN AND ZAHEER OR EVEN BHAJJI WHO DIDN'T TAKE MANY WICKETS). BUT CRITICIZING SREE IS NOT FAIR, HE TOOK THE MAXIMUM NO. OF WICKETS AND THE AUSTRALIANS WERE AFTER HIM. UNLESS YOU CAN STOP THE OTHER SIDE FROM USING ABUSIVE LANGUAGE HOW CAN YOU ASK HIM TO SHUT UP AND DEPRESS YOUR OWN PLAYER.

Every team more or less uses sledging to unsettle a batsman. It is ridiculous to say that because Aussies do it , we can do whatever we want! You have missed the point completely. When you "react" to such incidents and loose your control, you are showing a sign of your own weakness. Sreesanth's performance is near the bottom just because of such behaviour. It doesn't matter who says what. He has to concentrate on bowling while playing mental games. This is what some young members are doing. Ganguly, Sachin, Dravid their style of playing mental games. Ganguly was one of the best in playing mental games. But, he never showed such behaviour directly. Similarly, when you can back your performance with whatever you say/do to opponent member, it makes real difference. For example, yuvi against England and Prasad against Amir Sohail. In those cases, such behaviour can unnerve opposite team. But in case of Sreesanth, it only ends up in his own poor performance. Indian players need to learn the art of mental games and not how to hit the headlines.
The petition has been filed against Sreesanth by the IMA(Indian Monkey Association) in de kerala high court... The petitioners wants following relief on following grounds :
a) No permission was taken by Sreesanth to do such acts.
b) Requesting an Apology from Sreesanth
c) Demanding shreesanths' 10% match fee shuld be given for the welfare of IMA.
Yesterday, 100s of angry monkeys demonstrated outside Sreesanths' home in Kochi....the angry protestors demanded an apology from Sreesanth... Sreesanths mummy gave them an assurance that she would speak to sree on this issue...
The demonstration go wild when sreesanths' mummy throw `channa' in front of them....
Meanwhile, I.M.Monkey, President of IMA, telephoned his Australian counterpart the President of AMA(Australian Monkey Association) and told him to closely monitor the behavior of both teams player in the upcoming Australian tour!

Prince dont call Sree a monkey... D real monkeys make take offence
Mr PP, you are jealous of another mallu, sree's success!!! Aussie team is th one who does more sledging than any other team in the world, may be coz they are in no 1 in the rankings. now india has the power as we are the T-20 champions. Instead of attackin Indian players you should attack auusie players just like australian media does. No need to fear white peoples anymore. Though bit raptured, Srees aggression, spirit, ecstatic and jubilant nature helps us to keep up the momentum.

PP is a person of unknown origin.. Don't say that he is a mallu.. else they will be angry
I am surprised about Prem pointing out the knife digging stuff of Ponting. We may end up telling something totally different than what is intended. So, I would never advice our guys to even attempt that. Sree is young, shut up is too harsh an advice...the problem as Prem says is the Media manager...and for this I would suggest one of those monkeys in the english channels to do the job to realise what they have been doing all along.

Your comment is 100 times worser than Srees behaviour. I think Sree should learn to do it more intelligently.
