Nel's generally recognised as a good sort off-field isn't he?

I hate Sreesanth

He already is one of the icons of the game, so that comment is kinda irrelevant.
Yeah, because Hayden said those comments after averaging over 80 with the bat in the Test series and you're kidding yourself if you think that Harbhajan or Ishant caused Hayden problems, because that just isn't true.
What about the series that followed?

Might be taking that out of context slightly, but you'd have to take Murali still, wouldn't you?
Harby fine performer tho, which was sort of your point.
TBF to Hayden that's kind of what he did. Link:
Hayden, however, refused to reveal what words Sreesanth had hurled at him.
“You don’t want to know. It’s just so meaningless. Mate... I am a Test veteran and a one-day International veteran, I have got nothing to answer to him that’s for certain,” said Hayden

Would be the ideal opportunity to share Sree's pearls there, but Hayden kept his counsel.

Far too much has been made of this. Yes, Sreesanth is an ill-mannered sledge-a-holic on the field, but off it, he seems a more responsible, smart person. A big game can get a lot out of several players, and it gets a lot of his more vocal side, like it does some other players. He takes the game very seriously, though in these cases, way too seriously, and that should be acknowledged. He plays for the team, unlike some Indian players of around the same time, who need the team to play for them just to survive in the team. A lot of the criticism is because of his deplorable on-field behaviour, but when he puts that aside and concentrates on the game, he's a far better player. Frankly, he's the kind who'll keep his team's coach very active.
It would have been bottom of the proverbial barrel had Hayden went on to explain what was told by Sreesanth. I don't think it is relevant really. The gripe against Hayden is that he went on record outside the ground saying unwelcome and uncharitable comments against a fellow competitor. For an English fan it would be like Micheal Clarke chiding Stuart Broad's 40 something bowling average ahead of the Ashes and describing him as a show pony.

Im not sure anyone would really care.
Media would definitely.

Got a few poor umpiring decisions early in the series before finishing off strongly.

No the criticism of Sreesanth is fair because of what he does both on and off the field. Not that I care but I cant blame people if they dont like him.
Was shmuck really. One good innings towards the fag end when it did not matter really. And he struggled against SA as well which brought on his retirement. As they say pride goes before the fall.
On field yes, but off field? I am genuinely intrigued.

No senior would be willing to help him If he continues to throw his toys around.

Do You read the news ?
"Who is she? Please understand that she is a non-entity for me. Moreover, she is definitely not Angelina Jolie that I am going to remember her face.......I don't think that I would stoop so low that I have to date an unknown, struggling actor........I have a habit of not saving any number on my mobile phone and I never had her number on my phone. Right now, I'm just concentrating on my game."

Lol, I quoted this a bit earlier here. But I think it is not something like picking a fight with a random barman or going fishing during the team meeting. It is not even comparable to capsizing a pedalo pitch drunk on the eve of a World Cup match. While I find it cheap, his attitude is no different from 70% of yuppies out there who mistakes overconfidence in oneself for attitude.

Erm, no. His last four innings was 83 odd, 14 not out, 16 run out and 74. Hardly shmuck considering that he got two poor decisions in the first Test and was also coming off ankle surgery.
His run of scores in that series were :
0, 13, 0, 29, 83, 16*, 16, 77. He got one bad decision. But I am sure he got favorable decisions earlier in his career so that's unimportant. Coming of injuries is no excuse, as when you are selected for a test match, you are supposed to perform at your best.
Oh and the subsequent flow of scores were
8, 0, 24, 12, 4, 8, 23, 31, 39. Surely that should have diluted his pride a bit.

Sree always gives the impression that he wouldn't date her if she was the last woman on earth, if you catch my drift.Daisy Bopanna, whom Sreesanth would not date.
Haha. Playing the hard to get. What a loser.Sree always gives the impression that he wouldn't date her if she was the last woman on earth, if you catch my drift.
Or was it a colorful (hint hint) reference?
