Yuvraj4Captaincy Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 that's because he is inconsistent in ODIs (yes' date=' has become better of late) and rarely scores in tests (yes, in the limited chances he has gotten).[/quote'] how is he inconsistent. Please compare the runs scored by him in 2006 and 2007 (in odis), average and % of wins when he scored with the other players in the indian team... most of the forum members are just envious cuZ they cant hve a life and talent liek him. peace Link to comment

kooljatt Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yuvraj Singh found his form again in his 200th ODI after having undergone a wretched patch in Australia. His 70-ball 76 is his 43rd fifty-plus score, of which 32 have led to wins for India. He also proved, once again, his ability to deliver during the pressures of a run-chase - he averages 39.52 when batting second, and 34.06 in the first innings. In successful run-chases, his average shoots up to 64.86, at a strike rate of more than 86. In unsuccessful run-chases, on the other hand, he only averages 21.23, which indicates how important his runs are to the team's cause Link to comment
kooljatt Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 India v Sri Lanka, 8th match, CB Series, Adelaide 'Never a question mark over me' - Yuvraj Nagraj Gollapudi at the Adelaide Oval February 19, 2008 Yuvraj Singh silenced calls for his exclusion from the side with a classy knock © Getty Images With his first few strokes, the sound crisp and clear off the middle of the bat, Yuvraj Singh indicated that this would be his day. He'd come in on the back of a poor run of form and amid calls for his exclusion from the side, and with India in a spot of trouble but his reply - though delayed - was emphatic. By the time he left, having scored 76 off 70 balls, he had put India on course for victory, and settled a few debates as well. Not that there was any debate in his own mind. "There was never a question mark over my place in the one-day side," he said after the match. "You can't gauge form over two games. I had made four 50s in the five games in the last ODI series [against Pakistan at home]." It wasn't just the runs, it was the manner in which he scored them - especially off Muttiah Muralitharan, against whom he hasn't always been comfortable. He had to face Murali - who had got him cheaply a couple of weeks ago - immediately and his response was swift. He stepped out to Murali's second ball and drove it past mid-off, stationed inside the 30-yard circle. The next ball he fell for the bait and went for the pull but got a top edge that sailed over the empty midwicket region for the second boundary in a row. Luck was with him. The strategy to take on Murali - off whom he scored 19 from 18 balls - straightaway was intentional, he said, and inspired by Gautam Gambhir. "In the last game (at Brisbane) I drove him and got out but I'd watched closely the way Gautam batted in Canberra. So instead of blocking I just decided to play my normal game." And, as the dry heat gave way to a warm breeze, Yuvraj rediscovered his normal game: playing aggressively, playing with a purpose - and with his usual disdain. There was an apparent hunger to get back to the strike, you could see him coaxing Rohit Sharma, his junior partner, at various times to go for the runs or steal runs if there was any room at all. Yuvraj recognised that the best response to the fall of a wicket was to attack and so Rohit Sharma's dismissal, which brought his captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, to the crease, didn't slow him down. First Jayasuriya was swept over the the square-leg boundary for a big six, and when Murali tried to bring one in to him Yuvraj improvised at the last moment to move outside and steer it past the gully for three and bring up his first half-century of the Australian summer. In the last game (at Brisbane) I drove him and got out but I'd watched closely the way Gautam batted in Canberra. So instead of blocking I just decided to play my normal game - Yuvraj Singh on tackling Muttiah Muralitharan He carved shots with majesty, power and placement, made the fielders run after the Kookaburra and made Jayawardene kick the dust in disgust. "I wanted to spend time initially in the middle which I struggled in the last few innings. My aim was to keep a check on the run-rate without losing too many wickets as I knew it would be tough under the lights for the following batsmen", Yuvi said, talking on his primary focus. He was in good company as Dhoni continued his new habit of seeing the team through till the end and the captain received fulsome praise from his deputy. "Look at how many times he has batted consistently in situations when we needed him," Yuvraj said. "I have batted lower down the order and it is not easy at all. It's tremendous how he goes out there and plays those knocks." Yuvraj eventually fell at 76 to what he called a "good ball" - a beauty from Vaas - and was disappointed at not getting a hundred. But he'd returned to a familiar zone and now sees the need to carry it forward. Dhoni, who is getting tired hustling the sides out of various tricky situations, will be happy one of his best batsmen has recovered his appetite. Link to comment

Guest Hiten. Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Luck favored the brave one didn't it ? UV could have been out the same way he got out vs Aus (i.e trying to pull short ball against a spinner and ending up getting caught) but yesterday it went over the fielder and here we are praising UV for his 'maverick' performance. Had luck favored him vs Aus, he would have been a hero then too. Luck is as important as your skills :D Everything seems easy' date=' when we are sitting on a nice comfy leather couch with potato chips on one side and pepsi on the other. You guys are forgetting that UV is going through a torrid period of time. [b']Anything that he will do or try to do, is more likely to go against him. During T20's, any of his 6's could have been easily a mis-hit ending up in the fielder's palm. The man tried and failed, no regrets. :eyedance: What analysis, gawd Link to comment

beetle Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 @yoda but its total crap to call a good odi bat with namez liek "useles" i mean why such over reaction by ppl.. itz not that each and every Indian batsman is consistent.. for ex.. tendulkar hasn't scored a fifty yet in this tourney.. yuvi was a great bat last year.. ppl seem to forget it easily.. u just can't drop him from the odi team.. How about yuzlezz? Can't stand this guy... It's always the same with him.....scores so inconsistently and when he does pull it off ...he either mouths off like this all makes stupid faces and gestures towards one and all like he was the best thing on earth. Damn it! he owes this to the team...koi ehsaan nahi kar raha. Link to comment

Name one batsmen who has been more consistent and a match winner for India in odis over 2006 and 2007. He didnt bad mouth anyone. He just defended himself after all his calls of exclusion. He praised dhoni to the maximum and said he is tremendous the way he is finishing innings. He called sehwag an awesome player and he said sachin is his inspiration and asks him for help whenever and looks up to him. You are useless and Indian odi team might just be useless without yuvraj. take care Link to comment
Rajan Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I think Yuvraj does not talk as stupid as his Dad. after hitting those 6 sixers in the 20-20 against England, Yograj singh went to the media saying Yuvi is sulking bcoz he is not made captain of the team! He is an idiot. promtly Yuvi did not play in the next match against SA. Link to comment

More... February 20, 2008 After his knock of 76 in 70 balls at Adelaide, Yuvraj Singh [images] (rank 2) has now reduced the gap between him and Sachin Tendulkar [images] (rank 1) in the race to be this season's most valuable Indian ODI player. Mahendra Singh Dhoni [images] (rank 3), with his calm batting and good wicket-keeping, is just behind the top two. Gautam Gambhir [images] (4) and Irfan Pathan [images] (7) are climbing steadily. Robin Uthappa (10), who has done nothing worthwhile in his Australian outings, is still in the top 10 because of a strong early season performance.
