"required to throw his bat around" ? I can surely say that you have been not following India's ODI campaign very keenly. Let me help you out to understand how "Yuvraj was not required to throw his bat". http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/291362.html Yuvraj came in when India desperately needed him to hold on to the fort at the other end and not throw his bat around. http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/291365.html Same story as the above one http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/291368.html He got out in the 11th over. Need I say more ? http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/291371.html Tendulkar needed Yuvraj to stay with him, but Yuvi boy fancied his chances against Hogga and tried to play a backfoot shot. Result was embarrassing for Yuvraj. Hogg was toyed around by Srt and Rohit, but Hogg's flippers were very obnoxious for Yuvi boy. Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 that series was very bad for yuvi-I agree; but I still think he is our finisher and until we find a replacement for him who can accelerate as yuvi then he is going to hang around for a while.I think that his moving up and down the order may be numbered though.we should stick with him @5 or 6.

flamy Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Ah... I dunno. It's sad to see him so clueless. :(( But, I feel if he just concentrated on his game (batting, fielding, bowling) and stop whackin off his ego so much by vying for captaincy and shimit, he can do so much better.

I dunno if his ego will allow that and Dhoni basically "manages" Yuvi to not create undue tension. Link to comment

Yeah...looking at his present form....he should bat in death overs and tonk the ball into the orbit....I feel his performance has gone down after MSD was made captain of the ODI....the captaincy obsession has not done much good to his otherwise flamboyant batting style.

He surely is a valuable asset to our ODI team but at the moment (along with Rohit Sharma) he is waste of a space. He has hardly done anything to retain his position in the ODI team time and time. Yuvraj Singh has to undergo that Knee operation because there is no point in dragging the misery along with him. About your concern on who will be our finisher other than Yuvi, well that will be decided once Yuvi is actually out of the team. Its time Shikhar Dhawan is given a run in Indian team. Link to comment

I couldn't find the article which mentions that Yuvraj does not want to get the knee operation done but this particular injury ruled him out of action for 3-4 months in 2006. http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/slvind/content/story/265770.html Link to comment

King Tendulkar Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 He should bat at 7 and come in the slog overs, maybe with 10 overs to go. And just slog and smash his way to form! Badrinath should then come in at 3 as he is a bulider of an innings and is not suited to slogging Link to comment
rahulrulezz Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yuvi is a MUST in ODIs..... an excellent match winner..... an aggresive batsman who has won us countless matching chasing totals... he is one of the players who has changed the indian batting style of pre 90s from Tuk Tuk batting to post 90s Dhoom Dhadam batting ....
