A timely promotion for Sreesanth.

One up from the last man may not be much for most, but for the hyper sensitive Sree it was the world throwing its arms around him, with Bono singing in the background.

Sree made it No. 10, not quite Prime Minister, but in Edgbaston nonetheless. Earlier Sree had spoken about an all-rounder angle, what did he do here – 23 of 23, 3 fours and a not out. If only that Rankin fellah had stuck on with his senior partner, what could have been – not quite a law firm but some sort of mayhem certainly.

Ball in hand, Sree opened. Two overs today, let’s see what tomorrow brings.
