The day out fishing with Yuvraj wasn't quite what everyone expected...

If you think those chaps in Dubai are only interested in ploughing money into some of the Premier League's biggest clubs, then you'd be wrong. So stop thinking that. No, those wealthy chaps also love a good game of cricket, as we saw last week when the fifth annual ICC awards was held there.

One of the big winners, India's Yuvraj Singh, who collected the ICC Twenty20 Performance of the Year award, was invited to plant an Indian flag on the "India" island at "The World". And when we say "The World", we mean the collection of islands off the coast of Dubai. The private and resort islands are sold by invitation only to chosen individuals who fancy owning a slice of one of the most exclusive addresses on the planet. After his phenomenal six sixes against Stuart Broad last year, it seems Singh is only happy to reap the rewards of that audacious over.

The 300 islands form the shape of the world map and were revealed by Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in 2003. About 90% of the islands have been sold so if you want one you'd better get a move on....
