Yuvraj Batters Broad
The current world Twenty20 has definately been a tournament for the batsmen, and today showed that more than ever with India’s Yuvraj Singh battering six 6’s off one over from England’s Stuart Broad. It was the first time that it has been done in a Twenty20 International game, and the first time since Gibbs did it in the World Cup - but its been a special year and I doubt it will happen for at least a couple of years more!
He hit them all very sweetly, and despite Broad giving him a little bit too much room to swing through the ball they weren’t that bad deliveries. Just a case of seeing the ball the size of a beach ball and hitting the middle of the bat! That over really shell shocked the English, and despite putting a good chase on it was going to be tough to reach the Indian’s score.
So we come home early (I won’t say I told you so here and here) from an international tournament again, and now its time for the ECB to decide what to do with Freddie and the tour to Sri Lanka coming up! On the plus side, the Aussies can get knocked out tomorrow as well, and wouldn’t that be a shame!!
