Remember Lance Klusener?

He's still around. Scored 126 not out in 146 balls in the first county match. And also took 3 wickets, inc. wunderkid Cook.

good for him. he was one of my favorite cricketers, and my favorite allrounder for a long time. Was ousted due to some differences with the new captain, Graeme Smith, in 2003. In fact, he got a recall, but not for long. Sound familiar?

Klusener continues to impress and perform well in domestic cricket, much like the Bevans and Bichels (of course these guys were not denied contracts due to problems with the skipper, but because the Aussie team had to "move forward")

Besides his great innings (several of them) what I fondly remember is how apna Veeru tied him up in knots in one of the matches that we won

SL .... ICC cup...the one in which Gibbs retired after his century and we snatched victory from a certain defeat...an outstanding catch by Yuvraj at short fineleg to dismiss Jonty Rhodes was one of the highlights  :)

2004 Asia Cup - crunch match we needed to win against SL to qualify for the final. Viroo did it again, against Jayasuriya in the 48th over. They needed 18 to win in 3 overs, Jayasuriya on 130, 4 wickets in hand. Sehwag gets him caught and bowled. Pathan and Zak actually bowled the last 2 overs, restricted SL and we somehow won.
I was in the stadium for that one in Colombo :D

There were actually two great catches from Yuvraj in that match.  The first one being an equally stunning take, jumping at full stretch, taking an absolute flier off the bat of Graeme Smith.  For memories sake, here are some highlights from the tournament, with the catches included and sone great background music:
