Remembering the destruction at Durban – Yuvraj’s six sixes

#3 Three down, three to go

Broad is nervous as hell. It’s still early days for him in international cricket and banter hasn’t always paid him off well. He tried muttering something to veteran Sourav Ganguly at the Oval a few weeks back, and got a mouthful in return along with a six over long-on.

This time, he is bowling to a younger, more aggressive Indian left-hander, charged up for someone else’s comments. There’s a crescendo in the background, the Indian expatriate community in Durban is making a lot of noise.

Broad charges in to bowl the next delivery. It’s pitched up, full, outside off. Yuvraj takes his front foot out of the way and hoiks it over long-off. A hat-trick of sixes!
