Re: Is this guy on drugs or something
After all the trouble they had facing the “chamaar”, doubt if Haydo or his teammates were laughing too much yesterday. Heres what Gilchrist had to say

Sreesanth claimed 2-12 from four overs for India, taking the key scalps of Hayden and Adam Gilchrist, who made 22 off 13 balls, and giving both batsman a few choice words as they left the pitch.
"I thought he was the difference in the game,‘’ stand-in skipper Gilchrist said.
"I felt reasonably comfortable chasing that total. The pressure’s always on but I felt like we were in control, particularly with Matty and Symo there.
"Sreesanth, his spell of three overs up front and then that big over getting Matty out turned the game their way and they played the better cricket in the last five overs.‘’
I dont think Sreesanth is consciously trying to intimidate the batsmen - more a case of just generally losing it once he gets on the field. He has trouble controlling his intensity (doesnt help that a couple of screws are not all that tight) and this comes across in everything he does - including things that have nothing to do with the batsmen. But for all the hoo-haa about his antics, its nowhere close to what Andre Nel routinely gets away with.
