Bhajji sure looks like an insecure, emotional, immature s%&$er !
First it was Symmonds and the world stood with him. But with
yesterday’s episode at the end of the IPL match between Punjab X1 and
Mumbai Indians, where Bhajji’s team miserably failed, and bhajji
slapped Sreesanth, harbhajan Singh sure looks like the bad boy of
Indian cricket. Rumors say that at the end of the match, after Punjab
X1 won the game, Sreesanth went up to Bhaji and told him “Bad luck!”.
Harbhajan was already pissed off with losing the game, immediately
slapped Sreesanth on the face. And the world only say Sreesanth crying
out there like a kid.
Reports also say that Bhajji immediately
went to the dressing room and apologized for his behaviour. And both of
them are saying that it’s a brotherly relation between both of them.
Sreesanth says Bhajji is his elder brother and Harbhajan says Sreesanth
is his younger brother. WTF? These guys sure are excited and
emotionally unstable. Heck, they should go for anger management
classes! But, for the viewers it’s more a reality show with all this
drama.

UPDATE to the Sreesanth - Harbhajan controversy
—————————————-Sreesanth has given an interview over
phone to a regional news channel (Asianet) where he says about the
incident as unfortunate and unacceptable.
Here is an english transalation of Sreesanth’s telephone conversation in Malayalam.“It was not a slap as the media is speaking of….I went
to give shake hand to him as normal practice..as we won the match. And
suddenly he behaved in such a way like an aggressive wrestling or push
kind of…not exactly slap ….well he shouldn’t have done it. But I think
he was in a bad situation as they failed three consecutive matches and
he was the captain…I can understand that…anyway I have forgiven him, he
shouldn’t have done it, but we need to play more matches together in
the Indian team..so I’ve forgiven him…”
Sreesanth is one cricketer who knows how to make sure he gets noticed
among the crowd. Originally being from Kerala, he’s popularly known for
his hardworking skills and focus towards cricket. His schoolyear coach
once told in the interview that he was unlike other kids and always was
focused on “achievements” and he would go any extreme to get that done.
On the cricket field, Sreesanth is known more for his emotional
outbursts, killer instincts and “histrionics”. He once danced (some
won’t accept it as dance) in the field, once swiveled his bat and did
an “almost” dance infront of the bowler after hitting a six, have been
agitated when batsman hits a boundary to him, and now, entered into a
row with his own team mate Bhajji.
Despite his good cricketing skills Sreesanth is more recalled for his
dances and histrionics and is often referred to as the “small boy” in
the team.
UPDATE to the Sreesanth - Harbhajan controversy April 29th
—————————————-
showing cheap aggressive behavior to him more than one time on the ground.
- Bhajji was also found to be getting into quick brawls with hotel
waiters and press guys. Bhajji says that he was provoked at the
situations, but clearly this is seen as a one-man’s problem, especially
with Bhajji.
- We all saw in Australia what happened with the Symmonds saga.
Bhajji went into an argument with the aussie cricketer and later
alleged that he abused him racially.
This is something that’s backfiring on Bhajji now.
People who stood by him (like Sachin) during the hard times especially
at the Aussie tour, have backed out on the Sreesanth issue. Now, this
means that Bhajji clearly has a point to make himself. May be, he might
want to take lessons to control his emotions and become a more refined
man. Continuing this kind of aggression sure looks childish and is only
worth “gully cricket”, not an international match.
Now, the question everyone is asking is - “Were we right in
standing by Bhajji during the Symmonds issue? Would have Bhajji really
assaulted the Aussies and provoked them? “With the current “trends” and looking at Harbhajan’s history - we
prefer to believe that Bhajji could have been always wrong - we did a
mistake standing by him against the Aussies.
