The only people that S Sreesanth should 8220;irritate8221; on the cricket field are the opposition players,said Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni as he once again advised the temperamental pacer to remain within 8220;boundaries8221;.
8220;I am very specific to him and told him that he should not cross a few boundaries. It is better that you do not cross those boundaries. If you want to irritate someone that should be the opposition and not your side,8221; Dhoni said of the Kerala bowler,who has a reputation of losing his cool and coming up with animated gestures in the heat of the moment.
Dhoni said he has no issues with Sreesanth8217;s behaviour as long as he keeps the aggression within limits.
8220;Till he does both these things,I am really happy to let him do whatever he wants to do,8221; he said.
Sreesanth was at his usual aggressive self in the two pre-World Cup warm-up matches that India won and he hit the headlines by getting into an argument with Australian skipper Ricky Ponting during one of the games.
However,in the second warm-up match against New Zealand,Dhoni said he was satisfied with the way the pacer conducted himself.
8220;I do not think there was much. I must say that bit of chit chat is always fine. It does not mean that whenever we play cricket such things does not happen,8221; Dhoni said.
8220;As I said,there are certain boundaries that you should not get too personal with a player. If these guidelines are followed I am quite happy with it. More often than not it is the batsman and Sreesanth who knows exactly what is going on,8221; he explained.
