Comment on bowling action: The Telegraph(Kolkata)


Sreesanth has grabbed cricket headlines consistently ever since he announced himself on the international stage by dismissing Sachin Tendulkar in the 2005 Challenger Trophy and subsequently earning the Man of the Series award. The second Keralite to play for India since Tinu Yohannan.

However, allow me for a moment to concentrate on the fiery youngster's bowling action for a moment. Sreesanth approaches the crease with a quick sprint. Gathering speed with every step and lengthening every stride with unnerving rhythm, Sreesanth's approach to the crease is reminiscent of a young Wes Hall and consequently generates him substantial pace in the early overs of an ODI With a large leap to the wicket, Sreesanth's arms flaw wildly, eventually gathering into a pleasantly side on action.Sreesanth releases the ball with a textbook seam position and consequently extracts substantial swing, both away and in to the right hander. This is the perfect release position.
