ICC fines Sreesanth for dissent

Sreesanth was docked 20 per cent of his match fee for unsportsmanlike conduct and 10 per cent for breaching the ICC's logo policy. International Cricket Council (ICC) match referee Roshan Mahanama said: "We do not want robots out there but we do want players to control their emotions once they get on to the field because they have to realise they are role models for all those watching."

Mirza	Thanks ( Posted: Sunday , December 24, 2006 at 20:36 )
Bhariav	He IS a hero now mere lal....and he made himslef a hero with his show offs....instead of keeping mum at whatever the other team members do, he did show off....And that''s some guts that indians needed to show....At least there is one now, who has the guts...Cheer for his guts, instead of supporting non-manly people...So he was rude, so what? Hopefully he wont continue this much of show off...But once, at least once, someone HAD to do this.... ( Posted: Thursday , December 21, 2006 at 15:26 )
pradeep	Hey we got another Mgrath in our team that fellow seems to be very agrresive let us allow him to do that don pin point our bowlers lack agressivness but sreeshant has that we can compare him to the austrlians bowlers but he needs to maitain his form if he losses that My god he is gone let us not make him big fellow let him play for 2 to 3 years and the we can come to the conclusion and one impotant thing . I think roshan mahanama was sleeping when the southafricans were bowling so somebody please tell icc officials to wake him up while Andrew nel is bowling sreeshant keep the momentum going dont care for anything we are with you ( Posted: Tuesday , December 19, 2006 at 23:07 )

sanjay	I feel BCCI or the team as whole should compensate sreesanth fine. his agressiveness has only paid of the team as a whole who came together to fight back after the oneday washout. aggressiveness makes your adernal go high which is were much required for win.

Praveen D\'Souza	Let him concentrate on cricket rather than this show offs. It doesn''t take much time for a hero to fall from grace. Remember one Mr. Irfan pathan. Once, we all were going gaga over his talent, ability and became a instant superstar. But, now he is on sidelines. So, better , the players should behave. Lara and tendulakr are superstars and they have maintained that status for more than a decade. Still look how humble they are and behave with great dignity. Sreesanth should remember, stardom is not permanent. ( Posted: Tuesday , December 19, 2006 at 18:23 )
CricketNow	BCCI should compensate SreeSanth. His nonsense in the field may not be called for but it is very much required in the otherwise dead-faced members of the team. If his antics spur him on and if he comes out with a supreme performance like this then SreeSanth should not be reined in but be encouraged by the team management to continue his antics. Somebody from the team management must read all the ICC rules and make sure he doesn''t get into trouble like being suspended from matches. But if it is just a fine then allow Sree to go wild.

anand	Why cant ICC / their Match referees see the South Africans swearing at the Indian batsmen? Both Kallis and Nell were swearing at the batsmen and trying to break their concentration and make them play rash strokes. ( Posted: Tuesday , December 19, 2006 at 16:35 )
ashok	well Mahanama did the right thing.it was not racism.Sreesanth does lot of theatrics & what he did to Amla after he was out,was simply unpardonable.this was also conveyed in no small measure by the legend Mr Sunil Gavaskar on the TV.He said instead of theatrics,Sreesanth should concentrate on his bowling.

Yes Mr Asok, he does. But you need someone who can do that in your team. you cant always silently take whatever australia or south africa gives you...That was what india was lacking....someone who could give tit for tat...Sreesanth is just that and he is not just doing it..he bowled well AND he''s doing th theatrics...so there''s no need to comment he should concentrate on his bowling..yes, if he fails tomorrow he will have to regret...but this is a time when he has shown the world that Indians just don''t take anything for free....High Five Sreesanth, and keep it up.....Sledge go on and sledge those sledgers...why are you not talking about andrew nel''s behaviour dear? ( Posted by Bhairav on Tuesday , December 19, 2006 at 16:26 )   Sunil Gavaskar himself is a man of antics. I have heard about his trying to stage a famous walk-out of the cricket field when he was declared LBW by an australian umpire.
