What a comeback by Shanthakumaran Sreesanth! The last we saw of him was in 2008 during the Test against South Africa at Kanpur, the same ground where he has now impressed everyone with his comeback. He is reported to have thought of giving up hopes of playing for India and nothing can change his mind and put him on the road to redemption more than the magic spell he weaved in the first innings.
Shanthakumaran-Sreesanth
But look at the way Sreesanth’s feat is projected by the media. Is it necessary to keep raising the issue of ‘Slapgate’ more than a year after it has been done and dusted with? Some newspaper reported the camaraderie between Sree and Harbhajan as ‘From slap on the face to pat on the back’. This is what is sensationalism. Now whatever feats Sree achieves in the next few years will always have the term ‘Slapgate’ attached to it. Will some true cricket fan give a tight slap on the face of the media ?
