Yuvraj Singh's #6 Position - a Question


Recommended Posts

Posted

I see the media haven't really done any Yuvi bashing. Sachin and Dhoni haven't been spared for obvious reasons, but Yuvraj has been largely left to go scot free. Is it because of the sympathy prevailing after his cancer battle?

Yuvraj got a fifty in the first Test, so there's a bit of a 'wait and watch' policy. Though the papers have not lambasted him, they've questioned his long-term efficiency and his technique. He'll surely be replaced by Rahane if he fails in both innings at Eden.

He's done well to recover from his cancer but he is a limited overs player. Has had many chances in test cricket but never really convinced. At the number 6 position need a more solid player.

http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showpost.php?p=2083750&postcount=22 Rahane should open and Kohli at 6, thats what it should have been. Tbh that is a bit low for Kohli but I do not think there is much choice..Sehwag at 5 will take some adjusting to whilst he adapts his game but having started his career as a middle order batsman he should be able to do it, Kohli at 6 means there is at least someone to bat with him and also someone who has the temperament -to be able to bat with the tail...hopefully anyway... ....as I said elsewhere this was an ideal series to try that out vs a good but not great test side...Rohit is the other option if it is decided that Sehwag can continue opening...but no 6 may be too low for him to bat at... I said that around the NZ series time, and wish it had happened. Would have been the ideal series to bed in a newish looking batting line up and get some real change in. Our selectors lack planning and balls. Bunch of penises
