Some of the shots that he has played in the last 3 weeks have had me Shocked

Will be a shame if this guy doesn't become a TOP CLASS test cricketer.

He got found out in Australia, looked well out of his depth. Decent T20 player though.

He is phenomenal in the short versions when technique is not tested that much.
He could easily walk into a Sumo or WWF wrestling gig the way he is bloating by the day.

> PP: You would think so, but ti doesn't always work out that way.

A quick 30-40 may win many a ODI (esp a T20) but leave a Test innings a bit short.

A quick 30-40 was Ian Bell's speciality in Test Cricket.

There are people with inferior batting techniques and far inferior ball striking ability who are currently doing alright in test cricket

so why can't yuvraj?

I strongly dislike Yuvraj, always mouthing off whenever he can and he'll soon take Matty Haydens Flat track bully tag. He seems lost when the pitch has a bit of life in it, that's all I'm saying.

He has been given a long rope in test cricket. Strking ability means nothing in test Cricket if one cannot keep the good balls out.

Striking the ball usually matters when they can master a solid forward defence. The Yuvraj generation seem to think that all cricket is about is smacking the ball as far as you can. The art of Test Cricket requires strategy and thought in every delivery.

Putting Yuvraj as Captain of an IPL team is pretty much the only team he'll be captaining.

It seems that Yuvraj must play with an angled bat rather than playing straight. The angled bat usually aims to the Third man area in T20's to gain a quick one or two and maybe the odd four.

This pie chart recognises where his problem lies.

Cant disagree with that

It must be a lack of mental preparation before a test match/series which is the cause of such average results.

T20 and Test Cricket are a world apart.


I don't think he could captain India to any major success IMO.

I've always said that he's the most naturally gifted Indian batsman since Tendulkar. However, a slightly lazy and carefree attitude has held him back so far when it comes to test cricket.

It is actually quite commendable that Yuvraj has achieved quite a bit despite his Father.

He's the sort of batsman India should persist with in test cricket because he has the priceless ability to change the course of a game in a session. Pretty much all of his test centuries have come with India in trouble as well, so I don't buy the FTB tag that is often given to him.

He just needs some mental adjustment and a better defence. A little more discipline and fitness won't hurt either. India are playing 2 or rather 3 series in this season in the subcontinent. I hope for a much better performance from Yuvraj.

But even if he improves a lot, he won't score more than 5-6 thousand runs in the test.
