I agree with this statement.
I don't agree as the pitches on which they were bowling were purely batting ones.
Come back "Sreesanth"

Simply because OD and Tests are different ball games, bowlers who are good in one are not necessarily good in the other. Sreesanth was good for Warwickshire in OD cricket but was poor in FC cricket, being comparitively expensive and taking fewer wickets than his peers.

true, and it works both ways. personally I saw no reason for ishant sharma to be in the ODI side. he bowls quick out side off-stump and gets some movement but his control just lacks a little and in one dayers players are going to eat up anything wide whereas test they'll let it go.
bring whoever back, but don't ruin another fast bowler ideal for tests by forcing him to slow down and add control to fit in with india's ODI obsession.

Guys like Sreesanth and his ice bath buddy Andre Nel make many people sick with their on-field behaviour and performance is not the only thing that counts.
Its about setting an example for the younger lads who watch the game as well.

The lads of today are not as stupid as before. They know better as to what to follow and what not to follow. If Sree is not performing, then you can call to drop him (I had wanted him to be dropped when he didnt do well for India). But now he is doing well and seems to be back in form and so he should come back. Performance is the ultimate and you are rated on the ultimate thing. The rest do not matter much.

Well,i beg to differ on the last statement you have made.
If he's doing well,then he deserves to be given a chance,but at the same time he should be councelled on his behaviour.

Unfortunately, India without any of Sreesanth, Sharma or Singh is a side that really lacks a certain something. It's a case of wandering around looking for cool-looking stones, instead of finding a big, ugly chunk of rock and carving it into the right shape. All three players are talented, but raw in some way. For Sharma, the only problem seems to be a loss of fitness. It would be a real shame if India lost him to injury or forced him to bowl slow just because they demand too much.We have agreed that they do not belong in team way back

Very much agree with that assessment of Ishant. Ishant adds little to the ODI side and it fatigues him for Test cricket.

Sreesanth maybe mental, but just take a look at his girlfriend!
This girl and a guy like Sree!
Hard to imagine.

Arey. She has moved on from Dhoni to Sreesanth? She is Lakshmi Rai, Dhoni's very very very close friend
