while everybody is taking sides either with kp or ecb... one thing with which everyone seems to agree is that the kp-gate could have been managed better...behind closed doors...sans selective leaks...
since kp-gate is flooded with inane articles...for...against...i don't want to waste much time in adding my two cents...
having said that...however...i particularly liked shane warne's views that a parent body and captain should be capable enough to manage different personalities...characters...
that its not important to be liked by team mates...as every player in the team is there to do a job...and its the job of management to work around players to achieve team goals...
this is where strauss and ecb have failed in my view...
we too have a case here that desperately need attention and i genuinely feel dhoni in general and bcci in particular have failed in managing a career...
sree santh's...
he is a character...he can be a drama queen...he can be all this and that...
but he can bowl...
when he bowls...the upright seam and swing is a delight...not only to fans but purists alike...
he might pump fists returning back to his mark...he might appeal a bit long laced with drama...he might stare a batsmen on his follow through...but he is not the first bowler to do that...he will not be the last bowler to do that...
he can go overboard at times...but one thing which is clear and indisputable...he wants wickets with every ball he bowls...he is an attacking bowler with a heart...
he is what we see...but we don't necessarily see what he is...
if only he is not judged by his every expression...every flux of his muscle...every delivery he bowls...his every move on and off field...
if only we don't follow him like he is a terrorist that can explode a bomb any minute...we might still able to save a career...
a bowler who can bowl...a bowler that team india needs so desperately...but don't want to admit...
i hope and wish that when he makes a comeback...he would be given due space but more importantly the management will do away with the glasses tinted with skepticism whenever he is around...
