England's tour of India (Nov '16/Feb '17)

[Bigby Wolf]

With Dhoni and Yuvraj playing and building a strong partnership reminds me of good old days of late 2000s.

If I bat, I will look better than Dhawan in his current form.

Your attitude certainly will be better.

Your attitude certainly will be better.

I am happy with my attitude right now, thanks.

This is a great partnership between these two. After 35 overs, maybe they can try to be more aggressive as even 300 will be difficult to defend.

That's a brilliant answer by Yuvraj to those who were saying that he is a finished chapter in Cricket.

He performed. All right. Credit where credit's due.

But I still stand by my opinion. He is a spent force. He will need to score consistently to change my mind. Of course, I don't expect a big score every innings, but 5/6 innings out of 10 should be worthwhile, not necessarily a 50 or 100 but useful runs.

At the moment, he doesn't give me that confidence.

Yuvi looked pretty good even in the warm ups. So, it's good that he continued it.

Any idea when will Rohit Sharma be fit ?

What makes this innings of Yuvi special is that he came in when we lost 3 of our star players within no time which includes Virat's wicket too. He was under immense pressure but look at the way he performed under pressure.

I agree. That' why the "Credit where credit's due" statement. Let's see if can continue in the same vein.

Yuvraj looked good in the warmup game while Dhawan looked really scratchy. Rahane was fluent as well and yet Dhawan got the nod ahead of him.

 

[zwarrior]

Yuvi gets past his high score ! Can he achieve "that" ? Don't want to jinx him.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Msd needs to hit out now like he did in the warm-ups. We should aim for 100 from the last 10 to make a match of this

 

[aditya123]

I reckon we need 370+ here with our bowling.

I reckon 370 would be difficult. Dhoni should fire if we need that.
