shreeshanth the dancer should not be taken to world cup ,he still has to play atleast two years for india and then only he should be selected.I know there might be pressure from srikanth the ex cricketer for srishanth place in squad.

What was the problem with Sree today? He bowled well and economically. Fielded well. Had too much to do when he came to bat. If at all someone is to be blamed today, it is Kumble. He was totally ineffective in the middle overs and then wasted 7 balls for 2 runs, that left too much on Sree and Patel. This match was lost because of following issues: 1] Srilanka took their chances. 2] India did not take their chances. 3] Kumble was totally useless. 4] His counterpart Bandara was really too good. 5] Though they batted really well to start with, both Sachin and Saurav slowed down between overs 16 and 25 [Only 33 runs came]. This was a crucial period when they did not rotate strike and brought SL back into the game. 6] Sachin was totally at sea against Bandara and lost his wicket. 7] Saurav lost his wicket to an almost WIDE ball. 8] Sehwag threw away an opportunity to play himself into form. 9] Both Dhoni and Karthick played too slowly in the beginning and never really got going. And after wasting a lot of balls, Karthick lost his wicket. 10] Promoting Kumble ahead of Sreesanth was unimaginative. 11] Dhoni was very well cornered by the Lankans and their game picked up when the Indians fell apart. And Mr. Ali, Sreesanth and Srikkanth only have similar looking names. Other than that there is nothing that makes Srikkanth recommend Sreesanth. And even if Srikkanth recommends, who listens? Srikkanth's own Son is not being given any preferential treatment. So don't talk nonsense. They both belong to TWO different states and Srikkanth has NEVER EVER done any supporting for Sreesanth!

I wonder what was wrong with Sreesanth today. Could you please explain. You mean to say that he could n't hit a six in the last ball of the innings???? What about the performance of Sehwag and Dravid then? Please comment.

Was that Sreesanth's mistake that he was the most economic bowler today??? Comment with some sort of cricketing sense.
