So far in this series younis Khan looked very uncomfortable and vulnerable.

He essentially adapted his stance to suit the UAE pitches and to average well in those conditions but now he needs to adapt to English conditions.

Tbh think the article compared his 2002 and 2006 stance as well and his totally different.

Think this remind me of eoin Morgan troubles in 2012/13 when he was moving all over the place like younis Khan.


Eoin morgan was almost sitting down in those days

If he was struggling to get past 10 after a more than two match lean period, id worry. But coming off averaging 65 in 22 of his last tests before this, it makes articles like this seem moronic.


I both agree and disagree with this : Certainly two matches are hardly enough to write off a fine player like Younus. We will see what he does in the remaining games.

But I think getting to twenty odd and then getting out is arguably a worse sign than being cleaned up early two or three times . Anyone can get a good ball early ; but once you get to twenty on a good pitch , you really ought to go on. For such a mature player , I think that is a worrying sign.
