I was watching the match and saw the sledging done to Zaheer and Sreeshanth...no wonder Zaheer bowled so well to clean them up and Sreeshanth was so aggressive (although no line or length to get any wickets). As soon as England is losing, the English press including BBC, Sky news etc stop giving much importance to that sport and report it much less. They even go to the extent of blaming the Sreeshanth beamer for disrupting Pietersens concentration...noone talks about the unsportsmanlike behaviour of Pietersen (when he edged RP Singh to the wk and didn't walk) or Collingwood (when he edged Sreeshanth to the wk and didn't walk)...now we know which team is not sportive...let sreeshanth also learn to bowl better so that his skills with the ball match his aggression...but otherwise, he is a must in the team, where most ppl take any crap lying down...

well said... aggression is part of the game n u just cnn't be too complacent with opposition...it's not Mumnabhai's gandigiri going on in the middle.
I am happy for Zaheer tht he cud produce opposition devastating spells..
Sreesanth..may be overdid his emotions but auusies do tht too.Africans do tht...
