Is Yuvraj the most merciless plunderer of all times

[quick4mindia]

I saw his swashbuckling thrashing of the English bowlers today. He seems to have made it like a habit....to just come and massacre the mightiest of bowlings (ODIs and T20)
He is still not a test match material and perhaps would never be one.....but in my recent memory i dont remember any other batsman who plunders bowling attacks with such disdain. Add to that he never looks like slogging....he hits clean and he has elegance in his shotmaking. More so he does this to all oppositions and on a regular basis.

Not too long ago, there was this swaggering West Indian who was called King Vivian Richards.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Certain swaggering Englishman called Kevin Pietersen has massacred better attacks in his time than Yuvraj, I'd wager. Pietersen doesn't have the advantage of playing against England.

But yeah, Viv > all. Yuvraj is good, but he ain't all that.

Englishman
Kevin Pietersen

But I see BRubble's point.

*yawns*

Got an English mother, plays for England, can bat, that's good enough for me.

That is a joke question right?

Doesn't bring the same ***y to his cricket as Yuvi does.

Pietersen might turn out to be the better batsman in the long run, but don't recall him orchestrating as many pillages as Yuvraj, and with such style too.

Genghis Khan imo.

Mathews greater then them all, just needs a chance

 

[G.I.Joe]

Genghis Khan imo.

Dodgy technique on Italian pitches, I hear.

He can't be the complete p(l)under(er) then.

Yuvi doesn't look like he's trying when he's smashing it. His timing is crisp.

Pietersen and Viv are/were better batsman, but they look like they're muscling their sixes when they smash them.

 

[chaminda_00]

I'll pay that Smitty.

If anyone wants a honest reply to this thread, Mike Hussey anyone.

 

[Precambrian]

So Viv and Pietersen are plunderers and Yuvraj the silky assassin?

 

[quick4mindia]

Genghis Khan imo.

To England's good luck Genghis could never reach there....But Yuvraj is already there

I saw his swashbuckling thrashing of the English bowlers today. He seems to have made it like a habit....to just come and massacre the mightiest of bowlings .

• 2 (SRL)

• 28 (AUS)
• 76 (SRL)
• 5 (AUS)
• 36 (SRL)
• 10 (AUS)

• 0 (SRL)
• 23 (SRL)
• 20 (SRL)
• 12 (SRL)
• 0 (SRL)
• 17 (SRL)

These are Yuvraj's ODI scores in the 20 innings prior to todays .... a habit of swashbuckling batting indeed.

As far as massacring the mightiest of bowlings, its easy to choose the innings against australia and the new sri lankan attack and see how he performed.

Some massacre indeed.

If each run he scored is a murder, then it's a massacre.
