Yuile went to school at Palmerston North Boys' High School. [1] He was a left-arm spin bowler and middle-to-lower-order batsman. He played for Central Districts from 1959–60 to 1971–72,and toured South Africa in 1961–62 and England,India and Pakistan in 1965 and 1969 with the New Zealand team.
In 1962–63,he took 7 wickets for 36 runs against Otago. [2] He made his Test debut against England in the First Test in Auckland later that season,taking the wicket of Ted Dexter and top-scoring for New Zealand with 64 in the first innings,which remained his highest Test score. [3] His best Test bowling figures came in the Second Test against Pakistan in Auckland in 1964–65,when he dismissed four of the first five batsmen and finished with 4 for 43 off 54 overs.
In 1965–66 he took 9 for 100 for Central Districts against Canterbury. [4] The previous season he had taken 3 for 33 and 7 for 54 against Northern Districts. [5] His highest first-class score and only century was 146 against Canterbury in 1967–68 (he also took 6 for 68 and 1 for 13 in the same match). [6]
In 1966–67 in the four-match series against the visiting Australians he took 15 wickets at 22.13 and made 162 runs at 40.50. In the first match,when New Zealand beat an Australian team for the first time,he took 5 for 62 and 2 for 57 (match figures of 69–34–119–7) and made 38 and 5 not out. [7]
In 1969 he headed the batting averages on the New Zealand tour of England with 383 runs at 63.83,but was not selected for any of the Tests,in which Hedley Howarth carried the spin attack. [8]
