Sooda Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 ^How about as test opener???? Would you trust Yuv against the new ball, Id back Rohit to tear into Anderson and co on a seaming Edgbaston pitch....
Sooda Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I like the batting order you have planned. Makes sense. It could literally be the blueprint for our future success. Rohit is clearly got the qualities you mention. Besides he is a great hooker. ...and he can pull like no mans business.
Guest Gunner Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Rohit is a wave surfer.. if things are going right with him he'll perform.. but he is totally not capable of battling out a bad situation. and how many ODI's has the OP seen Yuvi play AFTER the world cup to say that he is past his prime?? urgh! Not to mention Yuvi can be quite handy with the ball too. I never liked Rohit Sharma back from the days when he used to have that cry-baby look on his face and played timidly. NO thanks.. but I'll take Yuvi any day over Rohit Sharma. Please don't let your personal hatred get in the way of progress and the future. Like the great Oscar Wilde said about the french revolution: “The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it. The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not on its growth and development. The error of Louis XIV was that he thought human nature would always be the same. The result of his error was the French Revolution. It was an admirable result.” This is a revolution, a change which we need. We can't afford to leave behind this precious talent.

Would you trust Yuv against the new ball' date=' Id back Rohit to tear into Anderson and co....[/quote'] Somehow I don't see a valid comparison between Rohit and Yuvi... they shouldn't be put in the same league together at all for any purposes whatsoever. Even for test matches, I'd go with Yuvi any day over Rohit. Yuvi is a wicket taker! and can bat pretty darn well.

I don't hate Rohit at all.. I said that about him very casually.. He is a nice guy I am sure.. I just don't see him in the same league as Yuvi.
Andy Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I would take Fatboy all rounder Yuvraj Singh over Fatboy Tailunted Nohit Sharma.
kooljatt Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Brah' date=' we have to move on from the past. Yuvi was our past glory and Rohit is the future.[/quote'] Brah, I'l bookmark this thread and talk to u after Eng tour :--D By the way do u know who has been the most influenced person to Rohit Sharma..:winky: Rohit calls him brothaman & it's not Raina ! Yuvraj is more determined to do well in test cricket & u r talking about moving on ! It's beyond my logic ! Let me tell u one thing, u havnt seen the best if Yuvraj yet, dont be surprised if u see Yuvraj's highest test score as 300+...rest laters PEACE ! :hatsoff:
Texan Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Why replace Yuvraj, the player of the series in the World Cup?? That would be a horrendous decision. Besides, I am still not convinced with Rohit Sharma's temperament. The innings in the first ODI can best be described as lucky (even his most ardent fans will vouch for that). At times, I get the feeling that he seems to lack interest in playing for India. He looks much more comfortable playing in the IPL. All that talent being proclaimed in the media seems to have got to his head. He probably needs to be brought down to earth. I think if he follows Virat Kohli's example, he will do himself a world of good.
Ultimate_Game Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I think it is time this talented youngster replaced Yuvraj in the ODI team. Yuvi is over the hill' date=' his WC performance was his peak and I think we should start building for the future. The future is clearly Rohit who is all class and talent. Quite frankly yuvi is a faded version of the man who hit braod for six sixers. I think it is time he goes before he turns into a full time bowler like his Pakistani counterpart Afridi did.[/quote'] Yuvraj is in his late 20s which is supposed to be the best time for a batsman. I will play Yuvraj till the next world cup as Yuvi also adds a lot to team balance with his bowling. And it's not as if Rohit is bringing the door down with his performances. Rohit should try to outperform Yusuf and get his spot first before aiming for Yuvi's spot.

As the late great Hellen Keller said It is not possible for civilization to flow backward while there is youth in the world and whilst there is youth in the world us not taking advantage of said youth causes us to flow backward. With past their best FTBs like Yuvraj and Sehwag in the team we are simply not going the direction we want to go- forward. The time is ripe for the Rohits. They have the chutzpah. The testicular fortitude.
