Nottingham: Temperamental Indian pacer S Sreesanth, who came in the team as replacement for injured Zaheer Khan, said the booing he received from the Trent Bridge crowd motivated him to do well during England's first innings in the second Test on Friday.Sreesanth and his pace colleagues Praveen Kumar (3/45) and Ishant Sharma (3/66) wreaked havoc in the cloudy conditions to bowl out England for 221 in their first innings. Making a comeback to the Test team in place of Zaheer, Sreesanth sparkled in the seam-friendly Trent Bridge conditions and returned with figures of three for 77, which includes the wickets of Jonathan Trot, last match double centurion Kevin Pietersen and Matt Prior.
"You leave me alone and I might do something else but when you say I can't do it, I do my very best, indeed better than the best. Thanks to them (crowd) for cheering me up," said the fiery right-arm pacer.
Sreesanth termed his stint with Warwickshire last year as the reason for his improvement as a fast bowler
