We can give it back with interest: Sreesanth

Agencies

Melbourne, February 1:: Temperamental Indian seamer Sreesanth has declared that India would not shy away from any on-field confrontation in limited overs matches, despite BCCI's threats of scrapping the series following an ugly spat between Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds.

Sreesanth, who is known for his aggression, missed the ill-tempered four-Test series due to a shoulder injury but is now fit to play in the one-day tri-series.

"We never backed down. Why should we? We have players who can give it back with interest," Sreesanth said.

"What's the worst that can happen? Six sixes? I can always come back next over. All I need is just one ball to get (the batsman) out," he was quoted as saying by the Herald Sun.

Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his Australian counterpart Rickey Ponting on Thursday said a little bit if "chit-chat" is justified but the players of would be careful not to cross the line.

Sreesanth also warned the Aussies to be on their guards with him being a part of the ODI squad.

"The Aussies should be worried I am coming. Sreesanth's way is to be aggressive," he said.

Sreesanth need disciplining
by P.P. TALWAR on 2008-02-03 11:35:14.758132+05:30
Indian pace bowler Sreesanth is a shameless, gutless creature who is in the habit of opening his mouth too loud, justifying the adage "empty vessels make much noise". Being a trouble maker and ill-disciplined on the cricket field, he need a hard collar around his neck. Team India should ignore the rhetorics of Sreesanth in the interest of the game.

In the team selection process, there should one for mental maturity. Sreesanth should find it hard to clear that.

here he goes again the Blabber mouth!

When the Aussie bowlers let their bowling talk (even non-bowler Michael Clarke bundled India again) Indians have to reply in kind. No amount of talking is going to get Sreesanth any respect. May be he will get some brownie points from some Indian fans, that is all. He only talks and performs poorly. He was hit for a six but did not 'come back' yesterday. He seemed scared of the Ausssie batsmen and that must change. He must bowl with confidence and he could take more wickets. Prasanna, Bedi, Chandra, Kumble, Gavaskar, Vishy, Dravid, Sachin and so many great players did not have to talk. They let their performance talk and so we remember them fondly. Sreesanth, you are fast becoming an embarrassment to India and her fans. Rememeber, most Indian players distanced themselves last time after your boorish behaviour. Time to become a hero and not a zero. Good luck!
