One would have thought so after watching Andrew Flintoff and Yuvraj Singh slug it out in the middle.
No, this was not like the Harbhajan Singh- Andrew Symonds fiasco that dragged on across continents. Nor was it a home grown affair like that between Sreesanth and Harbhajan. But it was certainly interesting.
Yuvraj Singh almost did Sunil Gavaskar in the middle.
The banter within the England team got more vociferous. The action on the field being provoked into getting volatile. But what was the difference between Sydney gate and this? Simple. Yuvraj Singh seemed refused to be drawn into the contest.
Andrew Flintoff was blowing hot and cold, the verbals he threw at Yuvraj followed practically every delivery he bowled to him. They got more vociferous when Yuvraj did not return any.
And when that did not work, Flintoff did his best mime to date perhaps – imitate Yuvraj sticking his nose up in the air, searching for star one would imagine even as Flintoff wanted nothing more than to make eye contact with the man who simply refused to cave in.
