According to news reports, The Indian media has condemned fast bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth's on-field tantrums after he clashed with Australian batsmen, saying there was a 'thin line between aggression and antics.

Sreesanth continued with his antics repeatedly throughout the Second ODI Cricket match in Kochi, with the Australian batsmen and even appealed for a run-out against Andrew Symonds after the ball was ruled dead.

The bowler ran up to striker Brad Haddin's feet to collect a ball that bounced off the batsman's pad and eye-balled him inches from his nose.

Non-striker Symonds left his crease to have a word with Sreesanth who promptly dislodged the bails and continued to appeal for a run-out even though umpire Suresh Shastri ruled it a 'dead' ball.

It was Captain Dhoni who cooled the man down and handled the situation from getting out of hand. All these antics by the bowler has left the media "unimpressed" with him.
