Video: Yuvraj Singh goes nuts against Pakistan

It’s nice to see that Yuvraj Singh’s nuts-at-the-end-going capabilities are largely undiminished because going nuts at the end has always been very much his thing.

For their part, Pakistan’s end-nutsiness is largely irrelevant these days because they can’t reliably manoeuvre themselves into a position where it would be appropriate to deploy the long handle.

As an England fan, we can offer hope that there may one day be an end to the familiar ill-timed run-outs and forlorn trying-to-raise-the-run-rate catches in the deep. Don’t ask us when though. All we’re willing to say is that it could happen.

DON'T BE LIKE GATT!

Mike Gatting wasn't receiving the King Cricket email when he dropped that ludicrously easy chance against India in 1993.

Coincidence?

Why risk it when it's so easy to sign up?

  1. It’s posts like this that make me sad that King Cricket comment threads now get locked. Years later, some Pakisfan would stumble upon this post, and reply ‘hey u bet u eatin words now nasir jamshed BEST BATMAN IN WORLD’. Or something.

    We shall never see their like again…

  2. SO points from abandoned games in the ICC ‘Classic Fantasy’ are scrubbed? Fair or no fair?

  3. To explain to an English fan, this is how it’s like. Imagine you got battered by the Aussies through the 80s and 90s, and now it’s payback time where you defeat them with your eyes closed for nearly 15 years. Where the Aussies probably aren’t in the same league as you.

    I’m ambivalent about Pak’s fall. I may be the only Indian to own Pak’s ’92 jersey. Bought it in the UK and wore it when I was living there, banned by my family here in India 🙂

      1. Haha.. to be fair, and I tried to point to that in my comment, Pak really is my 2nd favourite team. A distant 2nd, but 2nd nonetheless. England would be 4th, because your team is always entertaining, sometimes intentionally.
