India won the third and final test match against South Africa. The best part of the match was the 38 runs at the tenth wicket stand. The 60 runs lead was the key factor in the victory, and all credit goes to sreesanth and Ishant Sharma. They did some brave batting and added few very valuable runs, in a difficult batting wicket.
It may not be possible all the time if Sreesanth did not practice some batting seriously. So sreesanth, please practice some batting. This is what I would like to request to you. I like to see you playing for India till you retire. There is always a tough competition for a place in the national team, and everyone knows that the north Indians always get prioritised, even though the selection criteria looks like it is zone-wise. It is true that Sreesanth is in the team because he is a fast medium bowler. But if you don't get wickets, you may be replaced by someone else like Praveen kumar, Zaheer khan, Irfan pathan , Vrv singh, Ishant sharma, Rudra singh, Munaf patel etc. In this situation, if you can do something with the bat also, it is always an advantage. All rounders are the ones our team wants all the time. The selectors and your captain could pick you over the next, just because you have an additional ability to score some valuable runs at the tail end. Also, when your run rates are bad, just concentrate on the basic stuff. No magic needed to control your bowling if you stick to the basics. Correct line, correct length. Avoid extras. I hope you will get better with your batting performances in the future and move up on the batting line up atleast till no.7 just after Dhoni. Also, careful when you field because it is easy to get injured and lose your fitness.
All the best Sreesanth !
