బాగా ఇంగ్లాండ్ మీద మొదటి పరీక్ష ఆధిపత్యం బంగ్లాదేశ్ పూర్తి. విజయం పూర్తిగా అర్హులే మరియు సిరీస్ సులభంగా పూర్తి చేసేవాడని అంతేకాని ఆతిధ్యం 1-1 డ్రాగా 2-0.
రెండు మ్యాచ్ల్లో లో టెస్ట్ క్రికెట్ కోసం అద్భుతమైన ప్రకటనల్లో వారు రెండు గేమ్స్ పైగా ఒక పాయింట్లు విజయం ఆరోపించారు నా మనస్సులో టైగర్లతో రెండు జట్లు కోసం పరీక్ష జరిగింది. In Mehedi Hasan they have clearly unearthed a young diamond who may yet help to propel his team to more victories against the top teams.
On this evidence, అయితే, it is difficult to call England a top team. ఏం ఒక shambles. The performances they put in were simply unacceptable – especially the batting line up. In the first test the entire XI had at least one first class century to their name. Likewise in the second – save for Steven Finn. But in both they capitulated in the face of decent spin.
The same squad travels to India in the coming days with much to ponder. If they thought the bowlers of a test playing nation of the strength of Bangladesh were too hot to handle then I greatly fear what will happen in India. It could easily be a whitewash. I hope to be proved wrong but excuses such as those offered up in defence of England – “lack of experience on the sub-continent” simply don’t wash. A 19-year-old with NO test experience has just steam-rollered through you. మరలా ఆలోచించు.
భారతదేశం సిరీస్ కోసం తక్షణ సమాధానం ఉంది. You would have thought that Gary Ballance and Steven Finn would have played their last tests but a demanding forthcoming schedule will have saved them for now. ఏ పరీక్ష క్రికెట్ డిమాండ్లను తగిన మంచి కనిపిస్తుంది.
మచ్ బెన్ స్టోక్స్ విస్తృత భుజాలు ప్రతిష్టించారు. The Durham all-rounder showed his value to the team in both disciplines – especially the ball – and must now be looked after to ensure burn out does not occur. His performances were one of the few good points for the three lions. It was good to see Ben Duckett at least make one knock of note – time will tell if he has the goods needed to succeed long term.
With an eye on the longer term future the powers that be at the top of the English hierarchy need to develop a strategy that seeks to equip English batsmen with the skills needed to be able to play spin. Losing ten wickets for 64 runs as they did to surrender the match is not acceptable in test match cricket. They also need to find their own Hasan – Rashid, బట్టే, Ali and Ansari may be OK – but none of them are going to regularly win matches for their captain. If England want to be the number one side in the world they can’t just be winners at home and losers abroad.
