Sreesanth -- The Mallu Tragedy

I have been thinking of writing about my most favorite cricketer for a very long time. it never happened. Today I am determined to write about him, before he delivers his first ball after returning to international cricket after a real long break.
More than anything else, the best definition for Sreesanth is "The epitome for disaster"
In a country of a billion+ where a national cricketer is almost a demi god, this boy is the only exception..he is the only devil or the imp :-) among them. He is the only celebrity in kerala who is greeted by booing during public appearances. Keralites in general are very possessive about their "stars". we even try to make claims on anyone who could some way be associated with kerala. but he is our very own boy but that doesn't stop keralites from reserving their filthiest remarks for him.
now tell me, what should we call this situation???
Sreesanth could be the most known keralite outside kerala. Legends like PT Usha can only envy and whine about it. He rose to fame in almost no time; for a while, he was the only indian pacer with a brain. then came that famous booty dance against andrew nell and that match winning spell. his capacity to get the best of the contemporary batsmen won him all accolades and for a short while he was looked upon as the spear head and future of indian pace department. then our boy decided to take things in his own way, which apparently wasn't the best way.

I am still his big fan any way. his capacity to beat a batsmen can only be envied by other indian bowlers. But I am sure that the previous sentence of mine is going to invite trouble for myself.I don't see many supporting me on that.

I wish sreesanth will use his commonsense this time and capitalize this last opportunity. I wish people who enjoy personal access to this boy have adviced him enough to make him cautious,may be aware, of the real situation. People are just dying for his blood. Forget fans, he might be the only indian cricketer in our history who hardly has any supporters. even the most tainted of indian cricketers (Mohd.Azharudin is the first name that's coming into mind. but he is a wrong example), may be manoj prabhakar, enjoys better fan following than him. However in terms of accumulated hatred, he could be the richest in India (forget cricket,even otherwise there are good chances). I wish he will wake up to these realities and will not disappoint a near to extinct species (supporters of sreesanth of which I am a member). He has all the talent to erase all that past. however he doesn't seem to get things right. latest spat with an insignificant off beat mumbai player is an example of he falling prey to trecherous conspiracies to force curtains on his still promising cricketing career.

Sree..wake up and act sensibly. We believe in you but you are so adamant that you won't give us even a slightest opportunity to feel proud of you. that hurts!!!
I wish it won't be too late when you realise the truth..few games can change every thing in our country!! and that's all you need. few good games and few great deliveries (with result of course:-)) ..Concentrate on your primary responsibility and give a break to your tantrums, bollywood girl friends and cinema ambitions..Malayalam celluloid is too crowded for another super star. its better if you stay on cricket field for another few years..

I really wish you will give us an opportunity to boast about your kerala connection!!!
