Lot to learn from Balaji
A stress fracture in the back had all but finished Laxmipathy
Balaji's career in the mid-2000s. But the paceman was not
ready to give up. It took him almost two years and endless
sessions at the nets to come back. IPL 2008 was crucial and
even though he had lost pace, the guile and accuracy earned
him a hat-trick. Balaji made the India squad for the New
Zealand series in 2009, but did not get a game. It would have
broken many nearing 30, but not Balaji. Persistent efforts in
Ranji and IPL finally brought him back for the World T20.
Sree's back at the nets
Sreesanth, who hasn't turned out for India post the Test
series in England 2011 August, played one first-class match
thereafter before picking up a toe injury. After prolonged
rest, the Kerala pacer resumed batting in the nets at
Bangalore's National Cricket Academy (NCA) three weeks ago
and has also started work on his bowling. Sreesanth is now
bowling short spells already under the watchful eye of
physiotherapist Nitin Patel and the 29-year-old is expected
to be fit by November.
