Suck up to ‘em, Sreesanth!

The Indian media is picking on Sreesanth like a pride of lions attacking a calf. Aaj tak actually spent half an hour ridiculing his aggressive behavior. And god knows how many times they will telecast it.
They are right. We don’t need an aggressive bowler. Although he is arguably the best bowler India has right now, we must concentrate more on his bursts of aggression. We don’t need to take the Australians head on. We need someone who listens to all the sledging and feels happy about it. Someone whose reason-de-etre is to invite opponents to kick his ass and thank them for it. Aaj tak will be happy then.
Aaj tak would much like this sort of conversation:
Symonds: There is not much of a difference between the ball and your mom, mate. I thump both of them all over the park.
Sreesanth: Hey thanks mister. I am so grateful that of all the bowlers, you chose me for this treatment. As a show of gratitude, let me take my pants down and you can hit my ass with your bat. To please you and my Indian media even more, let me suck you before you hit me for a six off the next ball.
Spare the people who got balls, Aaj tak. Go get real news.
