Discipline! it should be the foreword of a sportsman. His childish antiques and rash behaviour on and off the pitch has turned many against him.This speedster is a valuable bowler for the Indian side with tremendous potential and a hunger for wickets. But is he overdoing his job? Even a few other players are acting weird at times. A little bit of drama is entertaining. But is this a phase change in cricket? And is rivalry getting more verbal?

U r absolutely right he is a very good player but need to be more disciplined...If this continues he is gonna have his opponents as rivals only...His activities r more intolerable ...He shud change and focus more on the game

If he focusses on the game he turns crazy.If he is calm,He loses focus.This was evident in his contrasting performances in the 1st and 2nd odis.

The whole point is indians are known for the discipline in the field. So obviously we dont want a bowler in the team spoiling the reputation that the indians have. Right from the beginning, indians were the best example for sportsman spirit, and they were the true acceptors of all decisions. Sreeshanth is like a bug in the team if he is going to continue his antiques. It looks like he is just showing off in the field unnecessarily staring at the batsman for nothing! He is not overdoing his job, he is trying to be celebrity with a different reputation. Too bad.

I hope this is the opinion of majority of fans because the media is supporting this imbecility whole-heartedly.I have read an article in Indian Express depicting that Sree is the doorway to a form of aggressive Indian cricket.Total Bull****!

Yes, sreesanth is definitely in need of a psychotherapist and/or psychologist, as his attitude and aggression is going out of sorts these days and should be controlled by way of therapy, else he might be in trouble soon and could be in line with shoaib akhtar who has been in exile because of behavior both on and off fields.

It is not the cricket like attitude that Shrisanth is showing. It brings bad name to Indian cricket too. In fact cricket is considered to be the gentelmen's game. We cannot expect all the gentlemen out there in the middle. However, the point of worry is that other players also have started behaving in undesirably manner. I remember a case when Sunil Gawaskar had critisized the Australian cricketers for this type of behaviour and now our own player is doing the same thing. Sunny, Ravi and Kapil or some other Senior player should have good talk with this man, or soon we will be loosing a talented player.
