Yuvraj Thread

I think it may be time to accept that Mr Yuvraj Singh is just not up to the standard required in test cricket – the technique, temperament and mental strength are just not there, no matter what his parents may claim. Geoff Boycott has made exactly the same points in that he does not have the correct technique to be able to play long test innings on a regular basis. His track record seems to consistent of low scores and the occasional high one – for a quality test player it needs to be the other way around. Just when Dravid appears to be back in nick we now have a gaping hole where Ganguly used to bat and the Indian Graeme Hick is not the answer.
Exactly. He seems like indian version of Graeme Hick. I think he is one of the top 5 for T20 and ODI but sadly lacking style for test. But he will score an odd fifty and the test selectors will give him another test series.

That's not fair. He has performed well under pressure too...just recently against England on a five day pitch. And when he began his career, admittedly in ODI's, there were many occasions when he batted India out of a tight corner...and also in tests against Pak. Give him a break.

Cochise, the problem is not sub continental or overseas pitch, pressure or no pressure situation, his correct/wrong technique. It's his mind set. He can't defend!!! Obviously, against pak he is always in attacking mood regardless of team situation.
