Why is Dhoni under bowling Yusuf Pathan yusuf pathan is a regular off-spin bowler, not a part-timer. it is hard to understand y he was only given 2 overs out of 50 despite the fact that he took a wicket & conceded only 9 runs. if u look at his domestic record of the last season, he picked up heaps of 5 wicket hauls & was even the 2nd highest wicket-taker in ranji trophy among spinners, next only to piyush chawla taking 27 wickets in 7 matches. even in domestic odis, he bowls his full 10 overs most of the time & even in ipl he was regularly bowling about 2-3 overs/match. atleast yusuf pathan should have been given 7-8 overs in odis. worst of all even yuvraj singh, a part-timer was given bowling ahead of a regular off-spinner in yusuf pathan

[veer]

because he likes to toy with opposition to make it a tougher game.. :--D

You cannot argue with the stats that Yusuf Pathan averages 43.27 with an economy rate of 4.90 in List A cricket, hardly outstanding. On average, he bowls 6overs and 2balls per innings in List A cricket and so is not quite a mainstay bowler for them. Hopefully, Yusuf can lessen the load for Sehwag whilst removing the bowling load off Yuvraj's shoulders because I feel him a God-awful bowler.

[Mr. Wicket]

Dhoni must have something against Yusuf Pathan, just like he has something against Badrinath and the other Southies.

yusuf pathan was called into the indian odi team in place of harbhajan singh' date=' another off-spinner. also, yusuf pathan has 84 wickets in 32 fc matches at a economy rate of 2.58 & avg of 31.5 which is not bad and his bowling avg in 20/20 is 18.82 with 17 wickets in 21 matches[/quote'] T20 is about containment in bowling about four balls in a row that cannot be smacked, with the batsmen getting out attempting a silly shot whereas FC cricket uses a different ball and has the issue of crumbled pitches. 50 over cricket is a totally different form of cricket - statistics from other forms of cricket are irrelevant when someone has experience at that form, as Yusuf does. Yusuf Pathan is not necessarily a 'like for like' replacement for Harbhajan. The team dynamic can change with a change in selection. There is no need to simplify things as you did there.

[amits]

Dhoni must have something against Yusuf Pathan' date=' just like he has something against Badrinath and the other Southies.[/quote'] it does look like that otherwise y would a player called to replace harbhajan singh bowl only 2 overs despite having figures of 1/9

[msb1991]

Great captains work on instinct, perhaps it was Dhoni's instinct that Yusuf was about to be hit for runs, he has the best view standing behind the stumps. Stop trying to promote conspiracy theories of racism, Dhoni is not a racist otherwise he would have worked hard to prevent Yusuf's inclusion in the team/squad.

[jf1gp_1]

India won 20/20 Cup, ODI-series in Aus and now heading into the final of another series after crushing both the teams ALL UNDER DHONI and you still found a reason to criticize him. WOW ... Join CPM you have a great future there.

[fineleg]

YKP is no great bowler, however, I do think MSD can utilize him for more than 2 overs. Given that our set of part timers are {YKP, Yuvraj Singh, Sehwag, Rohit Sharma} - among these YKP can be tried for few more overs esp on days when IKP or RPS or someone is going for more runs than usual.

[shadow-786]

should give Yusuf Pathan more overs DHONI you listening give Yusuf Pathan full 10 overs

[Ram]

Forget his bowling, I want Yusuf to blast the Pakistanis into submission. I am desperately hoping we bat first tomorrow and Yusuf is promoted to the middle order.
