U said that sreesanth has got 60 wickets in 19 matches. Ofcourse it seems great. But out of that, 18 wickets had come in three test matches. Two against SA and one against srilanka which i was talking about earlier. That means in the next 16 matches he has got only 42 wickets ie just above 2 wickets in one test match (two innings).

Sreesanth is a totally gone case. I dont even understand why he is given a chance again. Any alternative is better than him. Our selectors are doing injustice to US.

rajan S, you are thinking in a wrong way. that is not how one should think. what you are doing is like what many people do. for example in a odi suppose one batsman makes 60 runs in 60 balls. at such point quite a few people say that out of say 60 runs in 60 balls that he has hit 4 4's and 4 6's therefore he has made 40 runs in 8 balls and rest 20 runs he made in 52 balls that is almost 9 overs for 20 runs, i.e. slightly more than 2 runs per over. you are making that type of error. if we look at that way the performances of all batsmen and bowlers can be made to look ordinary.
besides rajan s it is not 19 tests and 60 wkts. but 17 tests and 60 wkts. so if he has taken 18 wkts in 3 matches it means 42 wkts in other 14 matches which is still a decent 3 wkts per match.
if we analyse performances by this way you will write off even sachin tendulkar. for example remember the odi series against aus when we lost 2-4 with the last odi rained of? in that series sachin made 175 runs in one match rest 5 matches he was not successful. if somebody had said sachin played only once in the whole series we dont want players who play 1 times in 6 matches. would you like that?

I was always talking abt these three tests. If any doubt, pls go thru those comments posted below. Tell me another test from among the other 16, that he has made a crucial contribution ? Performance need to be consistent, not like one in 6 matches
agreed he was not bowling well today! he was off.... but he is one bowler who can swing both ways! Watch out for tommorrow morning! he will pluck out three wkts in the first session!!

If that happens, then we will talk about it tomorrow. Why doing it today? If seam position and pace had guaranteed wickets, then he would have got far more of it in his kitty, than what he has now.

Tomorrow you have to be batting expert Mr.S.Rajan.So keep ready your expert comments and advise to Indian batsmen so that they can score 800 runs with your advise.
Re: Re: Re: LOOK AT THE SEAM POSITION and control OF SREESANTH!!
by Rajan S on Oct 09, 2010 09:27 PM
NO i wont advise that and let them score 800. Bcoz i like many other want a result in the test match and not a dull draw
Re: Re: LOOK AT THE SEAM POSITION and control OF SREESANTH!!
by Rajan S on Oct 09, 2010 10:13 PM
r u betting for exactly 250 runs? If then i doubt whether u r a part of an illegal betting racket. These could be classified under spot fixing
Sreesanth doesn't have the wicket taking abilities, especially in tests. If u watch,through out his test career, there are only very few matches that he has taken 2 or 3 wickets or more in his career. One SA series played in SA and another home series against the lankans played last year are the only highlights of his career Though he always delivers the bowl with seam upright and bowls at good speeds and have the ability to swing the ball, especially outswingers, it seems that's not enough to earn him wickets. It could be the consistency issue as he always sprays the ball often even in test matches

None of the pace bowlers in India are good...they do not know how to bowl fast...

Those rubbish may be ur hallmark. Thats why u may be talking like that

I disagree. He was one bowler who bowled well today without success. Even Zaheer khan did not bowl well,although he took one wicket (not because it was good ball , but because Hussey chased the ball). On the contrary, all the batsmen who faced Sreesanth faced some anxious moments, but were lucky to survive. It is a different thing whether Sreesanth is temperamental or not, but see his ability and then give comments. See the number of wickets he has taken in test matches - your statistics are therefore incorrect.

by Rajan S on Oct 09, 2010 09:00 PM
Pls let me know the statistics and then we will talk. Only the sa series played in sa and the home series against lanka, are the only matches in which he has made an impact. For me that is what matters and not the statistics
Re: Re: Re: Re: Sreesanth's wicket taking skills
by Rajan S on Oct 09, 2010 09:33 PM
Yes defenitely. I have charted out a response. pls go through it. In all my comments, i was talking abt those three test matches in which he took 18 wickets. But what else? Or tell me another test in which he has made an impact?
Re: Re: Sreesanth's wicket taking skills
by Rajan S on Oct 09, 2010 08:56 PM
I was talking about his wicket taking spells. Am not talking abt it from today's match. Am talking abt his performance from all the tests that he has played till now
Re: Re: Re: Re: Sreesanth's wicket taking skills

Out of that, 18 wickets had come in three test matches. Two against SA and one against srilanka which i was talking about earlier. That means in the next 16 matches he has got only 42 wickets ie just above 2 wickets in one test match (two innings). I have gone through the score card of only 2 test matches in sa.

sorry i didnt see this comment earlier. It is never the case. i even discuss this with my friends about " malayalikal para vekkunna karyam". But we all in our groups are infact those who criticize thata attitude. So to incl me in that list, is not right.
But having said that, u need to criticize the players on their performance. Bcoz they r playing for india and so everyone is equal. And if u closely read my first comment on sreesanth, i have never blindly said anything against him. I said that though he has pace, and the ability to bowl outswingers and also that he releases the delivery with seam upright always, still he is not able to convert that in to wkts. Its constructive criticism friend. I was all against sachin on my comments, on the last day of the first test whn he failed agian to take india past the victory target. So for me, sachin, sreesanth, laxman , dhoni or anyother player is same if they are playing for india.

I could guess you are from Kerala. As a coincidence, I was seeing nammal thammil today in Asianet. Producer Suresh was reacting to Prithviraj interview (in which he was giving an interesting piece of information that Rajini kanth called him to appreciate his performance in a movie. However, Mohan lal or mammooty had never ever called him so far to appreciate his performance anytime. Producer Sureshkumar was giving a valid reason quoting Sreesanth.Sreesanth, although an excellent bowler, is not appreciated by majority of keralites, because Keralites are hesitant in appreciating people, especially if they are keralites. I also totally agree with his view point. So, I treat your comments as one coming from a keralite. Whether you appreciate or not, he is still one of the best bowler India has. His bigger minus point earlier was his temparement and the present problems are more injury related and badluck.
