Appam is an insignificant cric!
I certainly would not want to risk my untarnished image with "some one who is still struggling" The famous Kannada Actress Daisy Bopanna quoted. "The most weird thing about the allegation is that it was a publicity stunt. If it were a publicity stunt, I guess I would have chosen to carry this stunt when the ad was being aired instead of now, when everything is stale and outdated. Its a common knowledge that while shooting, most actors and the crew enjoy their shoot with some fun and light moments. The activities mentioned in the media were also part of the fun and nothing beyond".
Unfortunately, the cricketer has chosen to react impulsively and immaturely without clarifying facts or without understanding its meaning in its actuality. Clearly this is a product of misunderstanding, and I would like the media to neither mediate nor help resolve it. I wish him all the best and hope sanity prevails.
Ooops! I did it again!
Appam denied sledging the Australian and was clueless what prompted Big Mac to say so. "I came to know from my friends in Bangalore (that) I have been called an over-rated bowler by Big Mac. I don't even know why he said that," Appam said.Well, we all know what Appam had told to Big Mac after belting continuously for Sixes and Fours!

How to piss?
Gunda Butcher is a tough opponent; but I still pick a fight with him!
The provocative Indian paceman, who was dropped for the game, approached the batsman and, according to observers, clapped in his face. Gunda appeared to give Appam a spray in return.
The words could not be heard but perhaps the Australian pointed out that the Indians were on their way to their first win of the series without the help of the bowler. Gunda then waved him away with the bat. It is a mark of the big man's control he didn't beat him with it.
Appam denied that he clapped in Gunda’s face. "I said to him, 'hard luck, you're going to lose now'. That's all," Appam said. Vice Captain “Clerk” apparently helped defuse the incident and told Appam to get on with carrying drinks, or whatever it was he was there to do.
Me, Appam Against Madrasis
Big Mac, you idiot! The first two overs were pretty disappointing (hopeless overs and less hit)16.1 Sreesanth to Hayden, SIX, bizarre shot! Hayden moved across his stumps to a length delivery that was angling into him, he swiveled and pulled the ball with one hand over the fine leg boundary, stunning improvisation
16.2 Sreesanth to Hayden, no run, Hayden walks down the track and swings again, this time he misses and Sangakkara collects, remember Sangakkara missed a stumping off Hayden early on
16.3 Sreesanth to Hayden, SIX, how high has that gone? When it finally comes down the ball lands many feet outside the square leg boundary, Hayden's swinging with ferocity
16.4 Sreesanth to Hayden, SIX, ok Hayden's pushing for the hundred, Sreesanth feeds him a full toss and Hayden pulls over the midwicket boundary
Sreesanth looks lost ... Hayden needs 11 more for his century. Is Sangakkara wincing?
16.5 Sreesanth to Hayden, 4 leg byes, four more! Oh it came off the pad, Hayden tried to play a short arm jab but missed, the ball hit his thigh and went past the keeper to the third man boundary
16.6 Sreesanth to Hayden, OUT, caught! Hayden walks down the track and smashes the ball high, it;s really high but this time it hasn't gone far, Jayawardene settles under it at long-on and holds on to a well-judged catch, Sreesanth gives Hayden a small send off but he's copped a fearful hammering in the over
22 Runs! Bola to… mind blowing!
Me, Appam Against Rajputs
The first three overs were pretty decent, but you know, I never give up! 18.1 Sreesanth to Carseldine, (no ball) 1 run, full outside off and he drives hard down to extra cover, it's an overstep18.1Sreesanth to Jadeja, (no ball) 2 runs, Free Hit And he oversteps again! He bowls the legcutter and luckily it costs just a single as the batsman forces it to long-off
18.2 Sreesanth to Jadeja, 2 runs, full outside off and he works it to sweeper cover
18.3 Sreesanth to Jadeja, FOUR, Sreesanth bowls the slow legcutter again and Jadeja's picking it alright, he makes room and hoicks him down to deep midwicket
18.4 Sreesanth to Jadeja, 1 run, comes over the wicket and he makes room and forces it to long-off
18.6 Sreesanth to Jadeja, FOUR, he drops it short and that too doesn't work for Sreesanth as the batsman swings and gets a thick top edge which clears the keeper by miles, and finally we have the first 200 of the tournament
Only 23 Runs I given-up! See I can do more, but the stupid batsman really not looking to hit me!
Me, Appam Against Desi Aila!
4.1 Sreesanth to Bravo, no run, back of a length ball around offstump, driven on-the-up towards extra cover
4.2 Sreesanth to Bravo, FOUR, effortless pull for four, that was pretty short, sat up for Bravo, who swung that over midwicket for a boundary
4.3 Sreesanth to Bravo, SIX, wow, beautiful shot from Bravo, massive six over the bowler's head, this was a touch fuller, Bravo got onto the front foot, was nowhere near the pitch, but went through with the stroke, a clean hit has it sailing over the sightscreen, Bravo holds the follow-through for the cameras
4.5 Sreesanth to Bravo, FOUR, Bravo gets all Caribbean on us, it was on his thigh pad, whipped away to square leg for yet another boundary, again effortless stroke
4.6 Sreesanth to Bravo, 1 run, back of a length outside off, Bravo has had enough of the big hits, he just drops it to the off side and zips through for a single
Total in this over: 21 runs, Bravo!
