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.

For better, for verse

Now there was a man named Singh.
Hitting sixes he said was his thing.
He once hit six in a row,
And earned a few crore
Now he's less batsman, more bling.

'Keep your eyes on the bleddy ball, I say.'

This picture has been doing the rounds online. It seems to explain Yuvraj's fleeting visits to the crease, Dinesh's absence from the playing eleven and Robin's barely there double-digit average, in the series down under. Heh... heh... heh... Never mind. We won. Heh... heh... heh...
