Dhoni's displeased with Sreesanth's behaviour....

Indian skipper Mahendra Dhoni is not impressed with paceman S. Sreesanth's antics which have got him into trouble often.

The Kerala bowler was fined 25 per cent of his match fees for excessive appealing against Australia in the semi-final of the Twenty World Championship in Durban on Saturday.

"Sreesanth needs to draw the line somewhere. Getting banned for four or five matches is not what you want. It is neither good for the team nor for himself," said Dhoni.

"As the captain, I have to take responsibility for him because someone has to keep him in control," added the captain.

Sreesanth had an off-colour tournament here before coming up with the prize scalps of Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden at crucial junctures in the semi-final.

I actually quite like what he does. Like Nel. he's harmless, doubt any batsman takes these things seriously.

controlled aggression is fine, and wanted, but making such a huge fool of yourself and setting a bad example is not. esp when you know he's going to be the first one to chicken out of a real fight. maybe you are just more used to petulant displays by sporstmen in the states

so let's hope he's learnt, from the fine,
