Sreesanth to answer India's call

By John Cheeran
I don't think any one man can make a huge difference to Indian cricket team's fortunes now.
National selectors have called up fast bowler S Sreesanth for India's remaining Champions Trophy encounter against world champions Australia.
This indeed is a surprising move, an admission of desperation from the team management of Greg Chappell and Rahul Dravid.
India's four-man pace attack, except for Munaf Patel, was collared by Chris Gayle and Shivnaraine Chanderpaul, in the crucial match against the West Indies on Thursday.
Sreesanth, who deserved a place in the squad in the first place, now replaces Mumbai all-rounder Ajit Agarkar.
Kerala pacer should have been in the Champions Trophy team considering the woeful form of Irfan Pathan and an often lacklustre R.P. Singh.
Sreesanth, however, had taken selectors' decision in his stride and now gets a great opportunity to grab a spot in the World Cup squad against Australia.
To say that skipper Dravid missed Sreesanth's aggressive approach to bowling against West Indies will be an understatement. Someone to support Munaf in the early overs would have made West Indies batsmen hopping.
Now we can only hope that India come up with something extra-ordinary to stop Ricky Ponting and company.
