Yuvraj Singh is a phenomenal talent

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

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

Isn't he more of a biffer? OD specialist?

hmm...yeah but if you can strike the ball like that then you should be good enough for all 3 forms

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.

Yuvraj 3.16 (Test Average)

> 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.

Along with the occasional 7-9.

His age?

Harsh.

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.
