The final

The most predictable team of the T20 World Cup so far, and the most unpredictable of them. Sri Lanka and Pakistan meet for the last match of what's been a terribly boring tournament. (The only lingering memory is of Dhoni turning up at a press conference with his team in tow.)

On form, Lanka look like taking it away in a one-sided game.

However for the sake of the game in that country, I'm hoping Pakistan make it to the spot they missed 2 years ago.

Yuvraj resorts to violence to regain his test spot

A battered and bruised England will bear testimony to the ferocity of this assault. 138 off 78 balls in the first ODI; 16 fours and 6 sixes included. 118 off 122 in the second with 15 fours and 2 sixes. Numbers that straightaway put Yuvraj at No. 1 in the list of contenders for the test spot vacated by Sourav Ganguly.

From pauper to prince

'Twas a downpour of sixes 'n' fours galore;
The Poms only clapped, their legs too sore.
The crowd went wild, bayed for more blood,
And Yuvraj, he obliged with another flood.
Just after the game, I heard 'em voices ring;
"Singh is King, Singh is King, Singh is King."
Pause a moment, consider this irony;
The king just lost his vice captaincy.
