What is fast bowling without aggression!
These days it’s a rare sight. Except few, not many fast men
exhibit aggression, which would add spice to the contest.
On the field, at present, hostile characters are more seen
rather than hostile bowling.
The Indian pacer Sreesanth is an erratic character and an
antic loving personality. He has aggression but his bowling has been
undisciplined so far. He is mostly famous for his comical antics on the field
and ill-behaves towards the batsmen. But a bit more focus on his bowling could
have made him an exciting fast bowler to watch.
On the morning of the 4th day of the Durban Test, Sreesanth
seemed to be more focused on his bowling rather than his antics and
waywardness. In the second ball of the 34th over, he produced a gem of a
delivery to one of the best batsmen of modern-day cricket, Jacques Kallis.
The ball bounced at Kallis from short of a length and rose
so sharply and then jagged back into him so viciously that Kallis wasn’t able
to avoid it. He jumped and then arched back in an attempt to get out of the
way. But the ripper of a delivery hit Kallis’ gloves and went into the safe
hands of the gully fielder, Virender Sehwag.
What an exhibition of hostile fast bowling!
This delivery is a part of Indian cricket folklore.
