Sharma's last over was really slow, the first and 2nd balls were late 70's with the wicket ball being early 80's, I thought he was rapid ?

Yeah, finally my prayers have been answered by Harbhajan, now he needs to keep this speed and loop.
I felt that if Sree got McKenzie, it would have been a huge morale boost for him and we could have seen a different Sreesanth.
I am watching the highlights and Sreesanth is certainly once again showing himself to have potential with the new ball. But as far as I am concerned, it is merely potential and nothing more until he can begin to bowl fuller lengths at a more consistently high pace. Another thing I have noted about Sreesanth is that his jump differs in length and his load up differs in appearance almost every ball - I am not sure if the TV screen exaggerates minor differences, but I doubt he will ever gain consistency unless he bowls with the same action each delivery.
He needs a stint back in the pace acadamy, to gain some confidence. There are alot of differences in his action for each of his variations. And he bowls something different every ball!
Cross seam, slower ball, yorker, out swing, in swing, down the leg side....
It just shows that he's getting frustrated and wants things to happen too fast.
We need Zaheer back as quick as possible.
