Sreesanth

I've always wondered what made Sreesanth an international bowler as when I've watched him he's always seemed like someone who doesn't move it much and who isn't quick by international standards. So cannon-fodder then.

But today, watching him against the South African's, was the first time I've seen what Gary Kirsten and the Indian selectors obviously see in him. The balls he bowled to Ashwell Prince and Mark Boucher to get rid of them in consecutive balls were brilliant and if it wasn't for his childish antics, he could almost become a bowler I'd admire. I'd always thought he lacked talent and character....perhaps there's only one of those that Gary Kirsten has to work on.
