Raina vs. Yuvraj

Yuvraj Singh's World Cup winning performance has once again seen him in contention for a test spot. He was unlucky to miss the Carribean Sereis because of a lung infection although he is in the 17 man squad for the upcoming test series. But, his place in the playing eleven is in serious doubt, as Suresh Raina currently stakes a bigger claim for the No. 6 Test spot. Raina impressed against the Windies by scoring 250 runs at an average of 47. He also scored an attacking century in lone warm-up game against Somerset which has underlined his great form and effectively seals his spot in the playing eleven for the first test. Yuvraj's duck of 4 balls doesn't help his case as well.
