16.6 Sreesanth to Hayden, OUT, caught! Hayden walks down the track and smashes the ball high, it;s really high but this time it hasn't gone far, Jayawardene settles under it at long-on and holds on to a well-judged catch, Sreesanth gives Hayden a small send off but he's copped a fearful hammering in the over
and that is what it was - a small send off.. No histrionics, no facial contortions , nothing over the top.
And that did not stop messers Morrison and Wessels from going on and on about how the send off was ill timed and how Sreesanth had taken the wrong pills etc etc.
Contrast this with when Broad and Anderson had their hissy fit moments in the West Indies. Lots of talk of how the bowlers were staying aggressive and how they had the mongrel in them etc etc..
Yeah, its like that!

i wish one more Bhajji like treatment for Appam guy. He is too loud and disgrace....
What wud u have said if say Appam had sent off MS :) if the batsmen was not an Aussie!!
Time to send Santh to reality shows, fashion shows, but no cricket shows!!
Sam,
Did you actually see the send off or are you premising your argument on past precedent?
Cheers,
i saw the same and wrote a post on my blog on the Appam guy. Swearing and uttering words followed by killing vampirish looks....
Obviously you are on a different feed from mine Sam. Good on you.
Cheers,
Couldn't it simply be a case of his previous antics masking everything he evers does from now on !
I don't know if you follow soccer and English Premier League, but some guys ( ala Drogba, Ronaldo) have fallen prey to the fact that even if it's a clear foul now, because they were renowned for diving earlier, some are just not given.
Just ask Drogba after last night's Champions League Semi final and you'll get the drift !
Frankly, Sreesanth is a dork , so in the end couldn't care two hoots if he actually gave a sendoff or not :)
You are probably right TG.. I just thought the comms were beating up on him for no rhyme or reason.
Cheers,
Yeah, I agree with TG. But cmon Homer, that was such a boring match that there honestly wasn't anything else to talk about.
Achettup,
Boring? Half of Chennai were on the verge of a massive coronary for most of the second half of the game :)
Cheers,
Those that hadn't collapsed in ecstasy after Dhoni's innings, Homer :)
Achettup,
That would be the other half :)
Cheers,
Homer / Achettup,
Very funny indeed.
Lets see at the end of the tournament whos left standing and who has collapsed.
Homer - the equation is simple - 7 to win out of 6 matches. Go MI Go.
- Cheers
Yay Anonymous :)
