What do you do with Yuvraj?

[fineleg]

There is no way YS is going to tackle M*M Send YS to open, let him score whatever he can against pacers. There is an outside chance once he gets settled against pacers, he can survive M*M. But he must open to play as much as possible against Vaas, Kulasekara et al.

Dhanyabaad......jiyat rehaa

[DomainK]

Yes, with Viru already out, it makes sense. Give him fast bowlers to play. Save him from the spinners.

[vadodaravictor]

If Yuvi opens batting for India, Mahela will make Mendis open bowling:--D

[Desi Cartman]

or Irfan Pathan ...

[bharat297]

No way ... Gambhir and Sehwag are an awesome combo and complement each other's style perfectly ... maybe Yuvi at 3 but def not as opener.

[mhr123]

Or Rohit ... because he has no clue abt M & M

[bharat297]

If ur gonna send everyone who doesnt have a clue about M&M up to open ... we're gonna have about 20 openers.

:haha::haha::haha: i was abt to mention ... Those who can play spin better like Gambo , MSD .. should come later

Nah ... Gambhir is an opener ... play him as opener. Those who cant play spin should learn to play spin, not be hidden away from it.

[riya]

Dhoni should play more test series.i know the suggestion is off topic ,but thats the thing he should do first .Hope people got my point.

Those who cant play spin should learn to play spin' date=' not be hidden away from it.[/quote'] That's true, we shouldn't be hiding players from the spinners, but it's not like they're going to learn to play him by the next match, they've had plenty of opportunities and they still are clueless

That's true' date=' we shouldn't be hiding players from the spinners, but it's not like they're going to learn to play him by the next match, they've had plenty of opportunities and they still are clueless[/quote'] Yea but we shouldnt look for the quick fix, something that will win us just the next match... we're looking to build a team for the future (with the target being the 2011 world cup) ... every player needs to learn to fix up their weaknesses and improve on their strengths.

[Ram]

What? Send Yuvraj to open? Thats like making an open pronouncement saying 'Yuvraj is useless against spin and we dont trust his abilities to improve either. So, we're gonna shield him from the opposition' And Yuvraj is the MOST senior member of the side. Anyone notice the irony? Yuvraj should take on the challenge, not run away from it or try evasive tactics.

[bharat297]

Thank you ... exactly my point ... no point protecting these guys. Aussies used to struggle against Murali, but they kept facing him and now they really go after him. Hopefully the same will happen with our boys.

[arkay]

What do you do with Yuvraj? Yuvraj is a sitting duck to Mendis. He cannot face Mendis more than 4-5 balls. Given this precarious state, what would you do with him?

[bharat297]

Bat him at no.3

[Dirty_South]

Shoot Mendis.

[bharat297]

I like the above idea
