Why would you do such a thing? If indeed it was some ill considered comments that set Yuvraj on fire yesterday then if anything else, we should be encouraging Flintoff/Nasser/Shastri/anybody who will actually listen to engage in full fledged sledging. I'll be at the India Aus ODI in Bangalore, and I would pay the extra bucks for a seat near the pavilion so I can tell Yuvraj how Ponting was speculating about YS's relationship with his mother, and whisper to Dhoni the nasty things Brett Lee said about his hairstyle. (Except of course, that I dont believe our lads have it in them to repeatedly convert anger into focused action.)

One small correction suggested...
Instead of saying
"...Which is why you should be thankful that Yuvraj Singh hit that ball for six so many times rather than, oh off the top of my head, your kneecaps...."
It should be
"...Which is why you should be thankful that Yuvraj Singh hit "those two balls" (one which fell in gutter after first six and other which got thumped for five times) for six so many times rather than, oh off the top of my head, your kneecaps...."

Feeling quite important, aren't we? Win a cricket game against England, did we? As always, one match won or lost and out comes some rather extreme talk.
Flintoff's riling of Yuvraj could have gone either way. If Yuvraj had gotten out by playing a skier in his anger (like he often has), people like you would be writing about how he should grow up and not let sledging affect him. Flintoff is a jovial fellow too who likes his drink. Bit of a gentle giant but not too many want to rub him the wrong way. He sledged Yuvraj hoping to get into his skin and get him out. What's wrong with that? Didn't happen this time so what? Might happen the next time.
It is no reason to start telling Flintoff about the great warriors of India (whose grandfathers... mine too... somehow managed to serve the English for 200 years without trying to blow their heads off). Yuvraj hit six sixes... he kept quiet and did something... great! You're just making noise... cheap. I'm embarrassed that I've got wankers like you in my country who get so carried away by little victories and defeats that they have to write open letters about them.

This one was so stupid and ridiculous. It actually decreed Sikhs. By the way he wrote this, we have a new breed of hostile people besides Muslims.
And I am sorry but (not you and very few other) Indians feel gloated on this victory. They totally forget their dismal records against every single Test nation barring Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. Pakistan doesn't enjoy a particularly good record against Australia but Pakistan's over all record against any team is pretty good. Did u know that Pakistan is the only Test nation which has won at least one game on it's very first tour to any country. Hell we won the second test match against India. The first series in 1957 ended in a draw. 1-1. India started playing in 1930 and didn't win a match until 1956. We started as u can see in 1957. India has had 7 cricketers of the year so far in the world. England has had 70. Australia a whopping 120 or so. Pakistan around 20. Moreover Sri Lanka started in 1982. They have an overall average of 45% of winnings. They have around 35% wins against India. 16% against Pakistan. Murli is the best ever spinner from Sri Lanka. Akram best ever left hand bowler from Pakistan. Bradman best ever batsman from Australia. Denis Amiss best ever captain from England. Andy Flower best ever wickt keeper batsman from Zimbabwe. Whatelse can I say.

"Earlier today it occurred to me that you may have committed this folly because of a certain ignorance of the finer aspects of India's great ethnic diversity.
So I have taken it upon myself to inform and educate you on how to avoid such mistakes when playing against India again.
The first thing you do, when you feel garrulous on the field of play, is that you gently check up on their surnames. Let us take the case of Yuvaraj Singh. "

If indeed it was some ill considered comments that set Yuvraj on fire yesterday then if anything else, we should be encouraging Flintoff/Nasser/Shastri/anybody who will actually listen to engage in full fledged sledging.
I'll be at the India Aus ODI in Bangalore, and I would pay the extra bucks for a seat near the pavilion so I can tell Yuvraj how Ponting was speculating about YS's relationship with his mother, and whisper to Dhoni the nasty things Brett Lee said about his hairstyle.
(Except of course, that I dont believe our lads have it in them to repeatedly convert anger into focused action.)
