One thing that will never fade away in the cricketing history is comparisons. It is nothing new to cricket; it was there between Hammond and Bradman. While Hammond always led the runs tally and high score, Bradman was ahead in the number of centuries and average. People supporting Hammond said that he is an exceptional bowler as well (who took 736 first class wickets) and a great natural athlete (a good soccer player too).

If comparisons haunted someone so badly, then it should be Sachin Tendulkar. In his early days, he was constantly compared with Brian Lara, then later when Lara slowed down, he was compared with Mark Waugh, and then later with Saeed Anwar in ODIs (Saeed Anwar for a brief phase had more ODI centuries than Sachin), he was compared with Steve Waugh, later with Inzamam, and then with Lara again and after Lara's retirement with Ponting. Recently Mr Ian Chappel went on to compare Duminy with Sachin. It has been three different eras, but only one thing remained unchanged and that is Sachin.

It would be a very unjustified comparison as sachin is more experienced and much more developed bowler while Sreesanth is yet to evolve. And to top it all both have different Bowling style. So, no comparison.
