3యాషెస్ కప్యాషెస్ 2013: సిరీస్ టీమ్

ఈ ధారావాహికలో నన్ను ఆశ్చర్యపరిచిన విషయం ఏమిటంటే, పండితులు సంబంధిత వికెట్ కీపర్‌లను ఎలా పోల్చారు - బ్రాడ్ హాడిన్‌కు మంచి ప్రెస్ లభించింది, మాట్ ప్రియర్ కొద్దిగా ప్రతికూల మొత్తం రేటింగ్ పొందారు. నేను చూసిన దాని నుండి వారి మధ్య చాలా ఎక్కువ ఉందని నేను అనుకోలేదు, కాబట్టి సంఖ్యలు ఎలా దొరుకుతాయో నేను చూస్తానని అనుకున్నాను. నేను మిగతా వైపులా కూడా అదే విధంగా చేయవచ్చని నేను గుర్తించాను మరియు వ్యక్తులు ఎంత బాగా ఆడారో ప్రతిబింబించే సిరీస్ బృందం ఉద్భవించిందో లేదో చూడండి.

కాబట్టి, ఆ తో ఒప్పందం అనుమతిస్తుంది 2 men behind the wick­et first

Brad Had­din2801020622.8920711

Over­all Had­din has the frac­tion­ally bet­ter bat­ting aver­age, and undeni­ably took a lot more catches behind the wick­et. How­ever, మీరు మాత్రమే మీ మార్గం వస్తుంది ఏమి చేసుకోవచ్చు, so a more telling num­ber would be the num­ber of missed oppor­tun­it­ies. Missed oppor­tun­it­ies are hard to quanti­fy of course. The bat­ting num­bers aren’t dif­fer­ent enough to jus­ti­fy pick­ing 1 play­er over the oth­er, and had Pri­or played 1 లేదా 2 మరింత ఇన్నింగ్స్, మరియు తయారు ఒక 50, the aver­ages would be near enough equal.

Regard­less of the views of the pun­dits, on bal­ance I’d pick Pri­or. Firstly I have a sense that Had­din made more mis­takes behind the wick­et with a few missed chances. Secondly, I have a great­er faith that Pri­or would be the man in a pres­sure situ­ation — des­pite a good effort Had­din failed to see Aus­tralia through to vic­tory in the first test.

The num­bers match up fairly well with who I’d pick for my team. Any­one who watched any of the series would be able to pick Graeme Swann, ర్యాన్ హారిస్ & James Ander­son without a hes­it­a­tion, leav­ing the only ques­tion who the 4 bowl­er would be. As the 3 highest wick­et taker, మరియు బ్యాట్ తో అందంగా సులభ ఉండటం, Stu­art Broad is the easy choice. He was also more eco­nom­ic­al than either Siddle or Starc. The final con­firm­a­tion of these 4 వారు అని ఉంది 4 యొక్క 5 who had an aver­age under 30 — Tim Bresnan being the only oth­er bowl­er to achieve this.

ప్రతి వైపు ఉంది 1 very good bowl­er who is unlucky to miss out — Tim Bresnan for Eng­land and Peter Siddle for Aus­tralia. Both play­ers are hard work­ing, బ్యాటింగ్లో మంచి, and con­trib­ute well in the field. Bresnan took his wick­ets slightly cheap­er, whilst Siddle was a bit more eco­nom­ic­al per over bowled and both picked up key wick­ets at key times. The choice between them would prob­ably come down to the flip of a coin if a 5 bowl­er was going to be picked.

The bal­ance of the bowl­ers for vary­ing con­di­tions also works out very well. Swann is the best spin­ner in the world at the moment and Ander­son is one of the top 2 bowl­ers out­right with won­der­ful con­trol and an abil­ity to find swing in any con­di­tions. Broad has the abil­ity to both move the ball and bowl genu­inely fast to pres­sure any bats­man who struggles with short pitched deliv­er­ies. Har­ris is con­sist­ently accur­ate and has a skiddy speed which will unsettle even qual­ity bats­men on good sur­faces. Neither side has a really top class genu­inely fast bowl­er which is the only chink in the qual­ity of the attack.

Pick­ing a bat­ting line up is far less straight-for­ward then a bowl­ing attack. Ian Bell is the only bats­man who can be picked without hav­ing to think. Michael Clarke also has a good aver­age but is helped by 2 కాదు అవుట్స్ (as a res­ult of declar­a­tions).  That said, Clarke is a world-class bats­man and it would be pretty hard to jus­ti­fy leav­ing him out of the side.

The remain­ing 4 are trick­i­er to select. Shane Wat­son is use­ful with the ball and made the 3 highest aver­age, but he has a tend­ency to make runs when they don’t mat­ter, and get out when a score is needed. I also haven’t yet picked any open­ers, and Wat­son did­n’t play well as an open­er (and isn’t con­sist­ent enough) మరియు నిజానికి అతను మాత్రమే పట్టింది 2 wick­ets means he’s not going to make the team. Chris Rogers sur­prised me and had a much bet­ter series than I expec­ted him to. He improved as the series went on and he was a very calm and con­sist­ent play­er — ideal as an open­er. As a res­ult he makes the team.

పీటర్సన్ కొద్దిగా క్రింద సమానంగా ప్రదర్శనను కనపరచారు, how­ever he had to find form early on hav­ing just returned from an injury he was clearly still car­ry­ing through­out the last test. His abil­ity to make game chan­ging runs, మరియు పరుగులు చాలా అవసరం ఉన్నప్పుడు స్కోర్ (and his sheer enter­tain­ment value) def­in­itely gets him a place.

I still need anoth­er open­er and the remain­ing choice is between the “bar fight 2”. The num­bers make this easy, and Root’s reas­on­able aver­age is par­tic­u­larly impress­ive giv­en the pres­sure he was under mak­ing his open­ing debut in such a key series. He is also a much more care­ful play­er than Warner which is bet­ter suited to test crick­et, and he showed he is a quick learner by improv­ing his tech­nique as the series went on.

This leaves just a final bats­man to pick. The num­bers say Steve Smith but I was­n’t at all con­vinced that he was a test bats­man. Without his 1 high score and his “not out” innings enhan­cing it, his aver­age would be under 21 which is a more accur­ate reflec­tion of the series he had. Khawaja had a very poor series and is out of the pic­ture so that leaves the choice of Trott, Bair­stow and Cook. Des­pite his dis­ap­point­ing series with the bat it’s easy to pick the Ashes win­ning cap­tain as the cap­tain for the whole team, espe­cially if he were a touch down the order to relieve the pres­sure that open­ing and being cap­tain brings.

The num­bers and my line up aren’t quite a match, కానీ నేను ఎంపిక చేసిన 5 టాప్ 7 by num­bers and added in Alastair Cook, who des­pite his dis­ap­point­ing series would be hard to leave out. The 2 who miss out — Shane Wat­son and Steve Smith have both man­aged to pro­duce num­bers that very much flat­ter the real­ity of how well they played. This is doubly so when you con­sider that the 2 play­ers I have picked instead (కుక్ & రూటు) both had to face tough­er con­di­tions as open­ing batsmen.

This is a very strong but some­what unbal­anced side, మాత్రమే 3 Aus­trali­ans com­pared to 8 Eng­lish­men. How­ever, Eng­land have just won 3–0 and were good money for that sco­reline. No-one would have blinked if a sim­il­ar “best of” team from the 90’s was largely Aus­trali­an, కాబట్టి యొక్క పట్టికలు మారిన ఇప్పుడు అది ఆనందించండి లెట్.

I know what you mean, J A Scaife, re Cook’s record. It has been poor by his lofty stand­ards. But Wat­son would be the last man on any team sheet for me. I know it’s hard to eval­u­ate all the gos­sip com­ing out of dress­ing rooms but it would appear he isn’t a ‘team’ play­er. The ‘home­work’ scan­dal and a devo­tion to try­ing to save his own skin by refer­ring almost every decision against him all point to this. And his series was dom­in­ated by one big innings — scored when it did­n’t mat­ter when two debutants were bowl­ing against him. He does bring a use­ful back up seam option to the side — but for me it’s not enough for him to get in.

I picked Cook primar­ily as he got a lot right as Cap­tain. I’m not sold on Michael Clarke as a cap­tain — he can­’t keep his play­ers under con­trol , where­as the Eng­land play­ers appar­ently love Cook and did the busi­ness under his stewardship.
If Cap­taincy wer­en’t an issue then I’d prob­ably go with Steve Smith rather than Wat­son. If we exclude Wat­son’s 176 on a sunny flat track against 2 debutants Smith would have scored 100 more runs, and he took more wick­ets as well.
When it came down to it though I just could­n’t pick Smith — he just isn’t test match class for me. I was pick­ing the play­ers I’d want for the next match, not just the top 11 from the stats.
If it came down to Cook or Smith for the next match it would­n’t take a split second to choose Cook, regard­less of his form in the series.
