Bhajji, Sree abused South African players too
A Day after the Indian Premier League (IPL)slapped a ban on spinner Harbhajan Singh for slapping Sreesanth during a match in Mohali, the South Africa cricket coach Mickey Arthur has revealed that there were ‘on-filed issues’ involving Bhajji and Sreesanth with the South African players.
Mickey Arthur told TIMES NOW that Sreesanth constantly abused AB de Villiers during the series and it got ‘really personal’.
Stating that a lot of South African players ‘lost a lot of respect for Sreesanth and Harbhajan’, arthur revealed that Harbhajan had to apologise to South African batsman Ashwell Prince, in the presence of match referee Roshan Mahanama, for abusing him during the third Test of the series in Kanpur in April this year.
“I did think Sree crossed the line and I do think they were going to get caught at some stage because when you play with fire you gonna get burnt,” said Arthur to TIMES NOW.
“Some of the things that they have done at time bothered us and some of the players did lose respect for Sreesanth.”
Arthur said, “Anything can happen when there are two volatile players on the field.”
Admitted that the conduct of Sreesanth and Harbhajan Singh ‘went over the top at times,’ but they didn’t feel strongly enough to complain.
India won the Kanpur Test to end the series in a 1-1 draw after the visitors won the second Test in Ahmedabad by an innings and 90 runs.
