The Sreesanth Appreciation Society

[Teja.]

He's devilishly handsome-with a slight resemblance to James Dean IMO- and just an awesome guy. One of the few characters left in the game. Also, He has an uncanny resemblance to Dennis Lillee on the field in bowling action, headband-everything but the results. But who apart from today's stat-fixated generation cares about a difference of 10 average points anyway.

In.

Yeah, in too. Love Sree.
Ikki will also be in until we start the Sree v Lillee thread.

 

[Ikki]

His self motivation, his run up, appeals and celebrations...legendary.

 

[kingpin]

He has best seam position in Indian bowlers.......

 

[chicane]

Lithe run-up, 140kph pace, swing both ways, heaps of aggression, headbands, wristbands, comedy and wickets. How can you not love that?

 

[Teja.]

You gentlemen, are the leaders of tomorrow!

 

[Jarquis]

Has a win percentage of 100% since his recall. Just sayin'

 

[Ikki]

LOL, I remember the appeal he made right before getting Paine...He jumped around to face the umpire, spread his legs and arms wide ...it just made this hilarious sight. Also loved his face after he got Paine and when Harbhajan was holding his face and looking into his eyes. Honestly, cricket NEEDS characters like him.

 

[Shri]

"Looking into his eyes", "Holding his face"? Sounds like a gay romance novel?

 

[Jarquis]

You'd know.

You'd know.

We all know who jizzed at GI Hoe at every opportunity.

You forgot to mention "banished by his own state"

 

[Lostman]

No Sreesanth appreciation thread is complete without the move...


Legend

 

[Jono]

The peak of his career was hitting Nel for 6 then windmill dancing in front of him.

Been downhill since then,

 

[vic_orthdox]

He's erratic as buggery, just knew that he was going to take some wickets at some stage in a bunch.

 

[silentstriker]

Obviously the next iteration of this guy:

 

[Burgey]

In.

He's one of three stooges IMO, a comic genius. I just don't know which one.

 

[Burgey]

Obviously the next iteration of this guy:

Green top bully

 

[silentstriker]

Not Lillee but Sreesanth and Zaheer both do much better when there's swing on offer obv. They don't have the pace/height/accuracy to really trouble people without it.
