No Separate Topic on Sreesanth in this DG after his fiveer ..What a shame
Why the hell are we guys so obsessed about SG and GC..
Even i am a sg supporter who wanted SG to succeed and succeed to such an extent that Barry richards,cullinan and co are eating tehir words ..

But Why can't we have a separate thread for the following

1.  A real swing and seam bowler sreesanth ripping apart SA in first innings - only after Javagal srinath
             May be we are finally seeing a decade bowler
             Swing and seam even in 2nd and 3rd spells for sresanth
             Upright seam - even smg saying after hadlee and kapil     
2.  An innings of substance from Rahul Dravid with still a broken finger and a heavy bruise near the heart in first innings
3.  Even a title on Zaheer khan's defence for an hour

Guys, this DG is about total cricket and not just abt SG and GC

Pls share ur thoughts on Sreesanth
I really eblieve this guy has it in him to atleast deliver like a srinath (even though a seam bowlere and not a quick bowler)

[suraj]

Good job Rajesh

After a long time a bowler other than a spinner has given us something to cheer abt outside the subcontinent- way to go SS.

I don't think there were many doubts abt his pace but control was an issue and here he showed a great display of swing bowling to rock the SAFs

[kban1]

One was started in the hope people would add to it. But I think among all the new threads it was missed.

Boss, as a fellow DGian, why can't you take the responsibility to start a thread on a topic that seems fit to you? I understand many of us just come here to read various reports from the web all at one place and then some discussions on certain subjects, personalities like you correctly have pointed out, but I think instead of saying 'what a shame', just write something nice and see whether people participate or not. If they don't, then you can vent your frustrations. Many of us incl. myself post many articles, columns, reports from various websites. How many people say 'thanks'? So why say 'what a shame'? If I have to modify a famous JFK (not the Kaif fan, but the former US President) quote, then I'll say to you 'ASK NOT WHAT THIS DG CAN DO FOR YOU, AS WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THIS DG'.

Umm, didnt he effectively start a new thread and also offer something about Sreesanth's bowling?

[kban1]

For the record, and this is a repitition -- a thread was already started on Sreesnath's brilliant performance by me, but not many contributed or missed it.

rajesh obviously missed it too. So lets not get caught up in all this and celebrate  agood performance for what its worth -- champ was awesome and whats more than that he put the motormouth Nel in his place 

[dave_dj]

The best thing about this test is that everybody contributed other than Jaffer.  Yes indeed it is a stellar performance by Sreesanth - no doubt about it but I pray he does it consistently along with Zaheer and Munaf to provide India bowling options that we never had.  This is a great start to a great series, especially after such abysmal performance in ODI.  Again, most important thing is everybody contributed and that is most heart-warming.

yes, with munaf returning from injury next game should be a cracker!

Yeah he did, but did you not see the title? I don't think it's appropriate from someone who doesn't post much.

Jai,
kya appropriate/inappropriate, man? Maybe, Rajesh is busier than us (or maybe he doesnt knw how to use time as well as some of us do ). That shouldnt mean that he has any less rights than the rest.

In any case, as kban pointed out, there is a thread on champ (IMO chimp is more apt) and hopefully everyone including Rajesh posts there.

As I said, I think that 'what a shame' was inappropriate. He could have simply started a thread on SS and asked for everyone's opinion. If he didn't get any response, then he could have vent his frustrations. It's not about more or less rights. It's not about who's busy and who's not. The point is if you think a particular topic was not covered, just start a thread on it rather than calling it a shame. I have seen Kban's reply, but even if there was none on SS, all Rajesh had to do was to start one and see what happens. I don't think even anyone has opened a new thread on VVS and his 73 either. And as it is, most of the threads are basically media reports and I am sure if there are more media coverage on SS or other players, people will post those articles here. Other than that, we all know (incl. Rajesh) that which player attracts most attention on this DG and how we see threads on one particular player which are based on personal opinions. Now SS or another player can't be compared to this player and this is rather unfortunate, but we all know why it's that way. I don't think there's anything against SS in particular here. I don't have anything against Rajesh either. I just wanted to clarify this and I hope Rajesh understands this.

That was quite hilarious.

[suraj]

This is so cool

A question I have for Nel is- its ok to be all comeptitive and sledge the likes of SRT, VS, SG etc in teh top order but whts the point of upmanship over tailenders???

Prasad's response to Aamir Sohail
Balaji's sixes off Akhtar

and now SS' response to Nel

must have collections

[MockTurtle]

here's another

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/7DKHSKHjsTU&rel=0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/7DKHSKHjsTU&rel=0</a>

star sports had another clip with music added to it as well - that was simply hilarious!

[toney]

The  kid is a character. What I am glad about is that this is something with Ravi Shastri doing commentary. So, the SAfrican commentator is toeing his line which is that Nel is doing something rather ugly. Now, I know a few commentators who would have concluded that Nel is aggressive but SS is going overboard with his emotions.
I would have loved to hear the one from Star Sports with the music on.

Oh, I really hope we win this test. Having closely watched this team for close to 15 years, I am still not convinced that we will wrap this up without a hiccup or two.

[dhruvdeepak]

Cullinan's comment on Sree: "He's like Andre Nel in drag". i love the Saffer commentary. i hope they've washed their feet, else that putrid taste is going to linger in their mouths for some time to come.

[rajesh]

Jai,
  Sorry . I could have avoided "What a shame". I agree .. I did not see kban's thread too.
  My grouse was that We instead of celebrating this huge win and a mighty performance got involved in personalities to such an extent that all threads on the dg points to only sg and GC
Even if sreesanth does not compare well with a great SG, today Sreesanth should be the flavour rather than SG (how great his comeback be ..) because we have finally got a bowler who can deliver ..

[achutank]

i have to disagee zaks showed potential and in this entire series has finally started living up to all those promises of 2003-04

kban i demand ip protection on what si certainly my contributions to the DG  and at least the first part please refrain from being an elitist in the back-bencher's wool
