Chris Broad, the former English batsman and current http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705, after bowling him out at Day 3 of the ongoing 4th npower Test
between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 at The Oval. Broad has termed this gesture of Sreesanth to be the real essence of the game.
Broad watched the live action on the third day of the game as he was invited on lunch by npower, the official sponsor of Team England.
Anderson, the ace English fast bowler who has delivered commendable performances during the 4-match Test series, came to bat at number 5 in England’s 1st innings. On a swinging delivery of Sreesanth, Anderson was caught by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772 on the first
slip. He scored just 13 runs off 26 balls with the help of 2 fours.
As the English pacer was walking back to the pavillion, Sreesanth stopped to look at Anderson but did not utter any words.
This act impressed Broad much and he claimed that such gestures bring thrill to the game and provide the viewers something to talk about.
Talking to the media today, Broad said, “What was interesting was the dismissal of Jimmy Anderson. Sreesanth just looked at him as he walked off. He didn't say anything; didn't point at him. I thought that was brilliant cricket.”
He further told, “I love to see that. Everyone loves to see something in the game that they can talk about. If you had a completely quiet day with nothing going on, you would not have anything to discuss at the end of the day. I love to see characters out
on the field of play."
After the four days of the final Test, Team India trail by 162 runs. They will resume their second innings today from 129 for three wickets.
Sreesanth is the top Indian wicket taker in this match so far as he has bowled three players by conceding 123 runs. The 28-year-old is playing his 27th Test.
