velu Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Quote New Delhi: Indian cricketer Ashish Nehra, who made his commentary debut in the recently concluded 1st Test between India and Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens stadium, has been bringing up many interesting conversations and facts from the commentary box along with fellow commentators like Virender Sehwag and VVS Laxman. One such conversation was on the topic of the 'Yo-Yo' Test when the former left-arm speedster not just revealed the test scores of several Indian cricketers but also admitted that Yuvraj Singh is yet to clear it. "Yo-Yo test is similar to the Blip test we would do in 2001-02. In this test, you have to cover a range of 20 meters in a given time and have to return to start point on a blip. Team India has set a 16.1 mark, which is soon going to be 16.5 soon. The New Zealand cricket team has it at 18. So you have to run a lot," Nehra revealed. "All the players perform above than 16.1 mark as that is the qualifying mark. Hardik Pandya has done 19, I marked 18.5 ahead of the T20I series against England in January. Manish Pandey does 19," he added. Yuvraj Singh (35) and Suresh Raina (30), both have reportedly failed the clear Yo-Yo test on multiple occasions and will only be considered for selection if they clear the Yo-Yo test. The selection panel will give them a chance of a return to the Indian team once they prove their fitness. Until then, they will have to continue toiling in domestic cricket. http://www.timesnownews.com/sports/article/indias-yo-yo-test-report-card-ashish-nehra-reveals-yuvraj-singh-yet-to-pass-it/128996 Link to comment
mancalledsting Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Very clever move by management...we are still well behind NZ. But it's better to get people on board with 16.1 and up it very slowly until 18. If you jumped to 18 straight away, half your selection pool would be ineligible! beetle and Masquerade 2 Link to comment

Ashwin has endurance, read somewhere that he regularly finishes among the top in long runs. Speed and agility is his problem. O' Keefe from Australia has the highest yo yo score among all international cricketers, but he doesn't look like a Maxwell/Warner/Smith on the field, does he? Similarly Doug Bollinger, the Aussie fatso has higher yo yo score than the likes of ABDV, Rabada, Steyn, Kohli, Pandey etc. Link to comment

He raised this point when Kaif, the super fit 6 pack athlete cramped out while Viru was made it look so easy on a very hot and humid day. I don't have that link but remember a very nice discussion along those lines in one of the breaks, back then SunnyG was actually good in commentary and analysis. Stuge and velu 2 Link to comment

Shunya Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Is this only for LOI's? For sure Ashwin, Pujara cannot pass this. Even Shami would have it tough. I think all these tests are mandatory for LOIs now. Link to comment

I feel they are more strict about fitness in LOIs. Test matches are still okay and Ashwin and Pujara are pretty important players. Kedar Jadhav still might have passed the test though. He is borderline fit. Link to comment
Khota Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Why was Yuvraj selected for CT if he was not fit. Shame on Kohli, shame on selectors. chewy 1 Link to comment

Stuge Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) long endurance is what is needed in cricket than short bursts . Edited November 22, 2017 by Stuge Link to comment
