Sreesanth claims he is fit for one-day series

Melbourne, Jan 14 Paceman S Sreesanth today claimed he has recovered fully from a shoulder injury and was confident of playing in the triangular limited overs tournament, also involving Sri Lanka, which follows the India-Australia Test series.

The Kerala bowler is confident that with a few matches under his belt, he would be fully prepared for the hectic one-day series.

"It is my dream to play in Australia, and I hope God will allow me to do that. I am ready to play," he was quoted as saying by 'Sydney Morning Herald'.

"I am heading to Mumbai and I will play a match for my company team. With a few games, I will be ready for the one-dayers," Sreesanth said.

The bowler had a much talked about confrontation with Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds during the one-day series in India last year, but did single out the burly Queenslander for special attention.

"I am not scared of anybody, and I am hoping to show that in Australia. When I am playing my best cricket, I don't really care who the batsman is," Sreesanth said.

He has had an eye on the controversy-marred Sydney Test and conveyed his displeasure in the manner in which Sourav Ganguly was given out in the second innings off a contentious catch by Michael Clarke after captain Ricky Ponting indicated to the umpire that the ball carried to the slips on the full.

"It is not up to players to make the decisions, so it was OK (for Ganguly) to wait for the umpire," Sreesanth said.

"What Ponting did was not right. He knows it is up to the umpire. Before you point the finger, you should know there are four fingers pointed back at you. (Agencies)
