There's no doubt that the batsmen are quality but it really underlines to me how bowlers are unable to bowl consistent yorkers - Can't image Goughie, Wasim or Waquar bowling like that. Perhaps bowlers should concentrate on developing a good yorker rather than 50,000 slower ball variations.

The new field settings are making huge scores more attainable now. How many times did we see the batsman make room and hit over extra cover yesterday. The bowlers need to adapt the same way the batsman adapted to the old field settings by scooping. The game needs innovators. Spinners bowling at the end of the innings could be the way to go maybe, a Good pitch and lightening outfield helps immensely also.

I think arrogance is part of his personality which makes him do well, until he starts thinking he's bigger than the team I don't mind much. There have been many other like him and Punter is the one which comes to my mind as soon as I think of it.

yeah thats a fair comment, wonder what his really like? as the general view is that Punter was a lovely guy off the field..!

Would he be the same player without that confidence - I doubt it.

I think with time people change a bit. The Yuvraj Singh of today is pretty different from Yuvraj 5-7 years back. The more he stays in the team and perform well more are the chances he'll soften up.

Some player is that kid Kohli.

Already 16 ODI hundreds and he's only 24 😱

He could end up challenging Tendulkar's 49 ODI hundreds at the rate he's going at present.

Say what you will of Dhoni, but surely there is no cooler, calculating cricketer in the world. Some player.

That was a great innings! What a finish. For me that was way ahead of the last Odis innings as it was under pressure rather than just a slog fest
