yuvraj just does not fit into an international test team...his flamboyance and style can save him in the ODI & T20 versions, but in test matches, his lack of patience will be his biggest stumbling block. To a certain extent, this is true for Dhoni too! Signs are obvious anyway, India will now have to go through a transition phase (maybe 3-4 yrs), will lose many matches (some even worst defeats) before a stable n reliable middle order is established again...Rohit Sharma does seem to be a safe bet at No.4 as of now...and finally, needless to say, 'Opening pair' will be India's ever lasting concern as long as it plays test matches!
