Hi all,I hope all Indian Cricket fans have watched yesterday's T20 match against Australia. First of all I really like the way the Young Indian team displayed their spirit. But the things that really hurt me is that Sreesanth an aggressive bowler in nature doesn't know how to control his temperament. As a cricketer at this level he should definitely know how to behave in the field. The thing to note is that while appealing for LBW against Mathew Hayden he was appealing even after the umpire turned down the appeal. For this he was fined by the referee. This was not the first time he was involving in this sort of incidents. He was earlier warned during the test matches in England to play his role properly. In spite of that warning he was not seemed to do the right thing. The other thing is that he was constantly staring at he batsman after every delivery he was bowling. I thing that this is certainly unnecessary in the context of the game. He should learn from other bowlers like Glenn Mcgrath and the likes on how patient they are. He needs to play a role of a 'smiling assasin' like Muralitharan. While bowling rather that bursting out at batsman. Thanks.

Its nice to see that young guys in India are more energetic but sreesanth is over expressive and must control his expressions or it will ruin his carrier.

Ya he gets a bit carried away coz he is very passionate. I think that there should be some passion as well in the game. I know its against the rules but Australians, English, South Africans never care for law as they make the law. Its good that an Indian pacer has a bit of agression, as this is one department in which India has lacked, i.e. agression, and its must for todays cricket!!
