You know what he meant .. By ur logic Sreeshanth also won two. Yuvraj was man of the tournament for India in those wins. That's the difference. You could count on Yuvraj regularly in clutch situations.
He won one World Cup and one World T20, versus Symonds' two World Cups. Lets not start equating the formats.
The only reason Symonds didn't win man of the tournament is because his entire team was star studded. This does not mean he failed by any means in the World Cups. Who was Yuvraj's competition? Dhoni in 2007 and Sachin in 2011... that's it. The only other two genuine world class players he had as his rivals in both XIs. Who was Symonds' competition? Gilchrist, Hayden, Ponting, Hussey, Bevan, Lee, McGrath. But enough with the subjective conjecture, let's go to objective data:
Andrew Symonds in World Cups
2003:
326 runs, average 163, SR 90.55, 1 100s, 2 50s
2 wickets, average 61, SR 81, ER 4.55
Matchwinning knocks: 143* (125) Group stage v Pakistan; 91* (118) Semi final v Sri Lanka
Final performance: Did not bat, 2/7 (2)
2007:
189 runs, average 63, SR 98.43, 0 100s, 1 50s
3 wickets, average 45, SR 44, ER 6.04
Matchwinning knocks: none
Final performance: 23* (21), 1/6 (1)
What does this mean? In World Cups, Symonds is a brilliant batsman, virtually impossible to dismiss. He has two immense knocks in 2003 to his credit, while in 2007 his role was to come in the last few overs and slog. He did not get the opportunity to play big innings in 2007 because the top order was in superb form throughout the tournament. With the ball, Symonds was rarely more than a sixth bowler, but to his credit picked up three wickets in the two World Cup finals that he played, conceding just 13 runs in both and bowing just three overs.
In terms of
'clutch situations', he played in four of them: two World Cup finals and two semi finals. In one semi final he won the match with the bat. In the other semi final he was not needed to bowl and in the run chase came in to bat at 3/110 chasing just 153; and scored 18 not out to take Australia to the final by 7 wickets.
In one final he was not even needed to bat as Australia racked up a huge 2/359, in the other final he came in with 7 overs to play and scored 23 not out. In both finals, he came on to bowl as the sixth/seventh bowler and took three wickets.
So please, let's not pretend Andrew Symonds shrunk from the big stage. Point in fact, he hardly even got the opportunity to do anything in World Cup finals and semi finals, so dominant was Australia - except Port Elizabeth 2003, where the team desperately needed somebody to stand up and he single handedly hauled Australia to 212 with his 91*. That was an extremely tough wicket for batting. The next highest score in the match was Sangakkara with 39 not out from 70 balls. Symonds simply dominated that semi final in a way no other player managed to.
I'm not bothered searching statsguru for Yuvraj's World Cup record, because I know he is an inferior player to Symonds already. If you want to make your case for Yuvraj, I suggest you go to the trouble of making the comparison.
