Sreesanth, the India fast bowler, will be out of action for five months as he needs two surgeries on his toes. He hasn't turned out for India since the Tests against England last August, and has only played one first-class match since, before picking up a toe injury.

Injured medium pacer S Sreesanth in all likelihood will miss the first three games of Rajasthan Royals in the fifth edition of Indian Premier League.

Rajasthan Royals' new recruit, S Sreesanth will perform with his experimental music band S36, before their first match of IPL V at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium here on April 6.

Fast bowlers are like 350-cc motorcycles. They need to be oiled or nurtured for consistent performance. They need to ply on the right roads.

The whitewash is well and truly on. Despite another session being lost to rain, and the best efforts of Rahul Dravid, England surged at The Oval as India were left in tatters on 103 for 5 in reply to the hosts' massive 591 for 6.

Indian seamer S Sreesanth conceded that they are getting a taste of their own medicine after the team once again found itself at the receiving end against England on Friday.

To say England dominated at The Oval doesn't really do their performance justice. Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen, both with their second hundreds of the series, combined for a third-wicket stand of 350, England's second highest third-wicket stand, as the hosts plundered their way to 457 for 3 with Bell unbeaten on 181 to leave India facing a three-day fight to avoid a whitewash.

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram is happy to find Rudra Pratap Singh in the Indian team and has suggested that the left-arm pacer should be inducted into the playing XI ahead of Sreesanth along with Ishant Sharma and Praveen Kumar.

Indian paceman S Sreesanth has the English crowd to thank for his sparkling performance in the first England innings with the temperamental bowler saying that the boos he got from the spectators fired him up.

For the first two sessions of an overcast day in Nottingham, India's fast bowlers dominated England's batsmen with swing and seam movement, bowling exceptional deliveries to reduce them to 124 for 8.
