Back to back hundreds for Yuvraj


Yuvi is in fine touch and have scored back to back hundreds .. In the 7 match ODI series  against England Yuvi has scored babck to back tonnes in the first two one dayers. The frst one with a splendid stirke rate up to the 180's. And the second ton with a strike rate around 100. The second one wasmore special as it was a rescuing operation when they were 3 down just for 29 runs. He began  bit slowly and after having the eye in he started playing his shots all around the wicket . Had a good partnership with Gautham and lasted till the 43rd over .. 

Sure he is one of the strongest contender for the player of the series award.  Though its very early to predict with a form he is in and the hundreds he has under his belt he'l have confidence and sure he can contribute a lot in the following matches. By scoring a century in the next match he can earn the fame of the player scoring a hat trick ton . Ther is an oppurtunity for him to set the record of scoring the most number of runs and also most centuries in a 7 match series. 

In two matches he has scroed 256  runs with a not out which raises his average to 256 with the scoring rate of 128 runs per 100 balls. Also he has taken 2 wickets in the series in 9 overs giving only 27 runs with an economy rate of 3.00 . He has hit a total of 8 sixes in the two matches with  2 sixes in the second match.  He has also included his name in the set of players who has scored a hundred and took 4 wickets in the same match. One of the brilliant performances in the  cricket world.

With some super performances he has made sure that he no moe wants to miss the 5 day matches .  Probably he's the one who can fill the place left by Ganguly.

My Indian team for ODI cricket

















The team is as follows with batting order positions


1. Virendar Sehwag

2. Sachin Tendulkar

3. Gautham Gambir

4. Suresh Raina

5. Yuvraj Singh

6. Mahendra Singh Dhoni (c) & (W.K.)

7. Rohit Sharma/Subramaniam Badrinath

8. Irfan Pathan/Praveen Kumar

9. Harbajan Singh

10. Zaheer Khan

11. R.P.Singh/Sree Shanth/Munaf Patel




Players responsibility



1. Virender Sehwag

Needs to be agressive at the start of the innings and should carry the pace till he gets out .. Also he plays a part as a bowler..

2. Sachin Tendulkar

S hould rotate the strike there by giving strike to Sehwag.. If Sehwag struggles he should be bit more aggressive at the same time cautious as he does play the anchor roe in the Indian batting order. He can be a useful spinner as well as medium fast bowler.

3.Gautham Gambir

He should take the role of the one who gets out first ..

4. Raina

He need to rotate the strike with the one he is accompanied with.. singles mus come easily and thats is his job.

5. Yuvraj Singh
As he is a slow starter he should bring his eye in with some 10 or 15 balls and should play his natural innings .. He's naturally aggressive and thats the one the team expects from him.



6. Mahender Singh Dhoni

As a captain he should play an anchor role and he is the one who needs to be there till the end. As everyone knows he is a big striker and he should accelerate the run rate from 45 overs or so. No need to comment on his captaincy and his wicket keeping ability. He does it well and good.



7. Rohit Sharma/Subramanian Badrinath
He should play according to the situation.. He needs to read the situation well and act accordingly .



8. Irfan Pathan/Praveen Kumar
He is considered to be an all-rounder.. His main part is on the bowling department. The main thing is to take wickets .. The economy rate can even be well around 5.



9. Harbajan Singh

He too should look for wickets.. Sure he can have an economy rate around 4. He should be very aggressive in field setting at the start of the innings.



10. Zaheer Khan

He is the spear head of the Indian bowling and the main part he does is to swig the ball with great control and have a good length and pace... If he does control the length and the swing the remaining will surely come with his way.



11. bR.P.Singh/Sree Santh/Munaf Patel
They too should try for wickets and should have an economy rate well around 4..



On a whole the bowlers should have an economy rate well around 4 .. Its very essential that the ground fielding should be excellent and catches should not be dropped.. The bowlers should be able to minimize the extras bowled.
