Leave Santh Alone!

I was surfing channels the other day after the Kochi One Day hara-kiri. What made me stop and puke was the following comment on the NDTV voice over. The story was on Sreesanth, the current bad boy of Indian cricket. The reporter had the guts to make a statement that went something like "...Sreesanth's parents would be unhappy with him." I wondered whether the commentator was talking about this young man Sreesanth or some high school kid who copied in a test!

Every channel you see, and every newspaper you read is ranting and raving about the bad boy. How can he do this? How can be misbehave? My Re. 1 for these experts. SHUT UP! Let him be! Enough of going around with these good boy routines.

I suggest that they take all the attention from his antics and focus on his game. He gave 64 runs for crying out loud! Including 5 runs from a wide in the last ball! Let us focus on performance as in the game and not the theaterical kind. If the guy consistently delivers and does his thing then I am okay. Cricket can take these colorful characters. Instead of focusing on his game they are focusing on everthing else! And he can slip by with poor peformance.

So my two cents, leave Sreesanth alone! Let him play, if doesn't make him pay!
