Bhogle on Sreesanth

That man Bhogle is anything but articulate. Here is an excerpt from the Indian Express:

 

ADITYA TANDON: What do you make of Sreesanth and this whole new aggressiveness in young Indian cricketers?

 

HARSH BHOGLE: There is a little part of me that rebels and there's a little part of me that enjoys it because it's symbolic of the fact that someone is willing to take them on. A little part of me is worried because he's still not ready to walk the talk; he's not ready because I don't think he is good enough. But he's backing himself to do it, he's telling himself, 'I know you might take me for three sixes but what the hell, I am going to take you on.' And that's a great attitude to have. He has to become a bit more shrewd and know when to do it, when not to do it, and how much to do it.

 

Evocative of a parent watching with trepidation its young testing its wings.
