"Sreesanth's on-field behavior made little sense," the Hindu newspaper wrote.

"There was little excuse for Sreesanth's exaggerated and provocative celebration when he, subsequently, had Symonds caught and bowled. He has [in the past] had his match-fees docked, been spoken to by umpires, but he does not seem to have learnt his lesson. He is so much the better paceman when his mind and body are in harmony. Once Sreesanth loses his cool, he is not the same force as a bowler," the Hindu wrote.

Sreesanth has been fined a few times in the past year, the latest for excessive appealing during the semi-final win over Australia at last month's Twenty20 world championships in South Africa.
