Yuvi - A nemesis to English Bowlers

Stuart Broad had his worst ever bowling figures in T20 World Cup in South Africa last year. I think he still remains in the privilege list of people who have conceeded half a dozen sixes in a over and the person was none other than Yuvi. Recently i read an article in The Hindu not sure who the author was it says "Yuvi has the grace of Lara, has the power of Gary Sobers". Not sure whether these statements are true but yes to an extent.

I think he has done a world of good to himself in scoring back to back centuries after coming back from a slump. I think he has redefined the way he needs to apply himself to situations rather than going for the kill. Now Yuvi looks a more matured player and with the scheme of things he seems to be right replacement for Ganguly.

English bowlers has been a nemesis to Yuvi's batting skill. The last 2 games that we have witnessed is one of the power packed performance and he was slaying the bowlers all round the park. I has got a new lease of life through the english bowlers and its time for all of us to see Yuvi in both form of the games. I think the english bowlers need to rethink when they have a go at Yuvi the next time. Its seriously high time that English bowlers bring the best under the leadership of Pietersen.

"Yuvi has the grace of Lara, has the power of Gary Sobers" - Are you nuts??? Those two were great HUMBLE cricketers, they would not celebrate their hundreds and six sixes in an over by angrily throwing bad words from their mouth. Yuvraj Singh is disgrace to Indian Cricket. I saw him even in the challenger series where he was India blue captain, man the way he behaved with him team was awful. Let him perform well overseas and play spinners well when they REALLY attack. How can he ever be a test replacement to Dada? What about people like Badrinath, Rohit Sharma who are waiting for a test chance? Worst thing I want to see is he being a part of Indian test team and Dravid dropped. Think I will stop watching Test Cricket too as I have done with the ODI's.
