Ram Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Can we please stop treating Yuvraj and Dhoni like babies? Between the two of them, they have 15+ years of international cricket and 400+ ODIs between them. They might be going through a lull in their form, but they'll obviously figure a way to sort it out. In Yuvraj's case, he himself has recently admitted in an interview that 2010 was one of the lowest ebbs in his career due to form, fitness and other issues. He says he is fully fit now. Whether that is actually true or not, we have to take his word for it. I fully expect him to start scoring some runs and be his previous best pretty soon. In MSD's case, I dont think he even went out of form in the first place. If anything, he hasnt spent enough time in the middle for us to gauge how he's feeling. He's had many soft dismissals and has had to come into bat in many no-win situations, especially since he bats in the lower middle order. He should be fine as well. Lets all do ourselves a favor and stop talking about the batting form of Yuvi and MSD. They will start scoring runs pretty soon. If we're not going to win this WC, it wont be because of our batting. It will because of our bowling, fielding and some REALLLY flat pitches.
jibranpatel15 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 ho ho ho ho their time is over now both should be trown out of side
nballa Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 He says he is fully fit now. have you seen the banner? that poor elephant is wondering what more it can do to retain the tag of the largest land animal.
gaurav92 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 ^You are digging your own grave by these useless posts.No one gives a fark at what you say, so don't spoil the thread with your meaningless posts.He is now much more fitter than what he was, perhaps some 12-18 months ago, so he has put in some hard work, and is looking to get better, isn't that all praiseworthy ? I know he hasn't translated his hard work into performances, but I am sure, he will do it in the WC.
fineleg Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Sriram, The WC is now! Saying they have 400 ODIs is all fine & dandy, but they need to score runs 'now'.
Watson87 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 typo: they could have just edited it, instead of an extra post. Guess you are not into "post fixing" like padosis
Andy Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I dont see any Role for Yuvraj in this team as a Batsman, Given his form. As a Player given his talent and Skills he is one of the best ODI batters we have though.
fineleg Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 could have just edited it' date=' instead of an extra post. Guess you are not into "post fixing" like padosis[/quote'] Duh! You think after all these years here, I dont know that? :winky: I was on my mobile while posting that, and somehow the edit was not working and did not want to fat-thumb it anymore. Now that I'm back at my PC, I've corrected it.

jusarrived Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 yeah , they havent been in form & all we can do is hope that they regain that during the WC ..pre-wc form means nothing , Indians should know that more than any one ...that way its really not that imp how they have been playing in the past 6 months
Akshat Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 These three batsmen along with the bowlers make India a vulnerable team. I wonder how anyone can label it as favourites of the tournament! The situation remained the same even after the first warm-up.
Silva Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 That 50 Yuvraj scored in south africa was the only time in the past 2 years he came in after the 15th over. The top order hasnt been that consistant due to injuries and players sitting out and yuvraj has constantly had to come in against the new ball under pressure. If you look at him when he was at his peak Sehwag, Tendulkar, Dravid/gambhir where consistantly giving him good starts. If Kohli gambhir tendulkar and sehwag can perform so will Yuvi and Dhoni IMO.
Manny_Pacquiao Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 yuvraj will hit form when he faces england in the 2nd match. he loves england. the moment he sees stuart broad running in, he will magically get his form back.
Dravid Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 have you seen the banner? that poor elephant is wondering what more it can do to retain the tag of the largest land animal. :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: btw **** u:finger:
zen Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Dhoni is playing a superb inning right now! :two_thumbs_up:
criczero Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Raina also played a blitzing knock before getting out
Manny_Pacquiao Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 LOL just what i expected. raina hitting form in the warm ups, kohli continuing to score. yusuf had a good game vs australia. so WHO are they gonna leave out??!!?!!
Sachin=GOD Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 LOL just what i expected. raina hitting form in the warm ups, kohli continuing to score. yusuf had a good game vs australia. so WHO are they gonna leave out??!!?!! the one man who is yet to score.....Yuvi :hmmm:
sandeep Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Dhoni in the post-game interview clearly hinted at Yuvi being in, Raina being out...
