Kohli must play 2nd test ahead of Yuvraj!

[The Realist]

Yuseless does not have the hunger and desire that Hussey had to show to get into the Aus test team at a relatively late stage. Hussey worked and worked at his game until the selectors could no longer ignore him. All Yuseless does is get fatter and fatter and bleats to the media until the selectors can no longer ignore his friends in the press.

I dont think Yuvi doesnt have the passion for test cricket.Its just that he doesnt have the technique for test cricket. Its still baffling how he looked so composed when he scored those 2 great centuries in difficult conditions in Pakistan to now struggling to put bat to ball.

First class average of 44 also goes heavily against UV. It is a blunder on selectors part to select him for tests based on his ODI performance.

[akshayxyz]

Funnier fact is, he has got 8K ODI runs, and has not even crossed 1800 in tests. Time to keep him out of tests, forever.

Well, even Ajit Agarkar and Anil Kumble have Test centuries in English conditions. I'm not saying Yuvraj is as poor a batsman as them, of course not, but it does show that you can't really judge based on the odd innings here and there. Yuvraj only has 3 hundreds in 57 Test innings overall.

Yuvi is probably India's version of Greame Hick....Truckloads of potential transformed into good ODI player but failed at the test level ps:Yuvraj is miles ahead of hick as a ODI player but back in the 90's when Eng were **** in ODI's Hick was still their best ODI player and Hick ended up with a better record than Yuvi in tests

Ball didn't rise above the knees :cantstop:

Yuvraj maybe, but when did Bhajji or Sreesanth manipulate the media to get into the side?? I thought they were in the test team due to performance n experience.

[pensionplan]

This is the respect proven Indian team players / match winners get here by this asswipe on ICF just coz they are going thru a lean patch I would never post crap like this since I'm not in the Indian cricket team..but some spineless jackass pussyshyt-armchair laaloo prasad type warrior is unleashing his wrath....some frustrated douche :cantstop:

This reaction from you shows that he may be afterall right with regards to YS and Trashbhajan. Touched upon a raw nerve?

Yuvraj maybe' date=' but when did Bhajji or Sreesanth manipulate the media to get into the side??

dont think so, he was quite humble even in the interviews post his 400th test wkt. Didnt look like taking anything for granted.

yes he did not play a match after that interveiw i guess he was dropped because he chickened out of the england series

got to disagree again, lol. Coz I dont think bhajji is the one to chicken out, he is one of the most fearless cricketer, never the one who would want to escape from pressure situations.

When Yuvraj scored those centuries even the likes of Sachin and Dravid struggled to cope with the swing on the wicket.

It cant be concluded tht he faked. 1. he may have faked the injury or 2. He may have recovered after the 2nd test Vs england, where he got the injury, but dhoni may have told him that he will be dropped anyways for the last 2 tests. or 3 the injury may have actually taken 1 month to heal. you are assuming the 1st possibility but I'd like to think in terms of 2 or 3.

i agree with your second option he might have faked injury fearing that he is gonna dropped but still this is the second time i have seen bhajji chicken out www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/35921/ganguly,-bhajji-chickened-out-of-nagpur-test-hayden ^i did not believe hayden that time but after seeing bhajji chicken out in england tour i have to accept hayden was right about bhajji

why would bhajji chicken out on a green top?? he doesn't play as a batsman. the aussies obviously love to hate ganguly n bhajji. why should indian fans believe them when they say that a couple of indian legends, known to be fierce competitors, actually 'chickened out in a test match due to the pitch'??
