What in the name of god is the matter with the bloke? His team is doing badly alright, but that does not give him the right to slap a member of the opposing team. Our Baji slapped Srisanth publicly after losing out to his team. Poor Srisanth was in tears. He was inconsolable in front of the cameras. It was a sorry sight to see, a grown up lad crying like a girl for the entire world to see.
I have no sympathy for Srisanth. He must have provoked Baji for him to react like that. He probably did not realize that professional sport is played at high stakes and abusing a professional player might be not a good idea after a heavy loss. Baji is temperamental and he has been in many scrapes before. He seems to have learned nothing from his previous escapades. I am sorry for that too. He is a good player and he should be a little more composed even if provoked.
I hate sentimentalism, may be because I am so incorrigibly sentimental myself. But yet being sentimental in our personal life is one thing, but babbling in front of the world on a public stage is another thing. I would advocate professional psychological help for such snivelers like Srisanth before they are sent out to represent the land.
Real men do not cry. Alas Srisanth, you could have hidden from the cameras after the incident, if you were so emotionally overwrought. You created a scene none of us are proud of. You also need to learn to be more professional in your approach now that you are earning a huge wad of money for what you enjoy to do.
A sorry day for Indian cricket!
