‘I am a child’ – Sreesanth

Posted on 10/04/2007 in Indian cricket

Alex Brown, writing in the Sydney Morning Herald, looks at the contradictions of India’s Sreesanth.

Eccentric, forthright and always unpredictable, a conversation with India's newest fast bowling star is every bit as interesting as a match in which he is playing. Incite on the field. Insight off it.

"I am a child," Sreesanth said, responding to Andrew Symonds's recent criticisms. "They are all legends. It is a dream come true to play against Ricky Ponting or Matthew Hayden. I am a child of the game, I am still learning. I am sure most of them went through things when they were inexperienced like me. Hopefully I learn faster."

Steve Waugh hopes Sreesanth doesn't go over the top - read his thoughts in the Courier-Mail - while the Age's Chloe Saltau says the bowler's antics in the second ODI gave Australia the moral high ground.
