oh, absolutely. I am not arguing with the well-placed beamer that got Pietersen sitting down with brown pants. But losing rhythm and being stupid enough to get caught shoulder-charging Vaughan, was really bad.
Next time someone gives a jelly bean, they should toss a penny at them and say "thank you".
Psychological warfare is aimed at making you lose concentration, and maybe get banned, like was done to Zidane by the bribe-taking, match-fixing Italian Mafia players. At such levels one has to be trained to expect that and recognize it instantantly, and have a few well-thought-out comebacks in store so you don't have to improvise in front of 50,000 goons and TV cameras and the poodle Umpires.
When we went to play the Engineering College many years ago, the regular openers were so scared (not entirely of their 6' 7" fast bowler as much as their Cheering Squad) that they sent me in instead. Worked fine, because I was too scared of the fast bowler to have any time to pay attention to the Squad, and they had no songs etc. ready for me since I was an unknown kid.

That was for the previous year's opener who used to come in wearing sharp buttoned-down whites and carry a comb in his back-pocket for the unlikely event of his hair blowing out of place. That was when they had no empty bottles yet throw.
I can't believe that Sreesanth, being a fast bowler, hasn't got immunized to such stuff.
