एक क्रूर दृढ़ संकल्प और एक हत्यारा वृत्ति एक भेड़िया के योग्य एक घायल हिरण का पीछा करते हुए के साथ, ऑस्ट्रेलिया ने आज सुबह विधिवत इंग्लैंड की दौड़ पूरी कर ली.
इंग्लैंड ने केवल इस श्रृंखला को बंद नहीं किया है और एक कायाकल्प किया हुआ ऑस्ट्रेलिया हर कमजोरी का शिकार हो गया है और जो अभी भी एक बहुत अच्छा पक्ष है उसे अपमानित करने में विफल रहा है.
लगातार चौथी बार एशेज सीरीज जीतना काफी लंबा क्रम था और यह इंग्लैंड के परे था. कलश अब ऑस्ट्रेलिया लौटता है (अलंकारिक रूप से बोलना, वैसे भी!) और हमें इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं है कि ग्रह के दूसरी तरफ हमारे चचेरे भाइयों से इसका अंत नहीं सुना है.
जैसा कि कुक ने अपनी पोस्ट-मैच प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में स्वीकार किया, इंग्लैंड को सभी क्षेत्रों और वसीयत में हटा दिया गया है, मुझे शक है, 5-0 जीत का दावा करें. यह निश्चित रूप से उनकी शैली गैस बंद उनके पैर लेने के लिए नहीं है. भेड़िया शिकार पकड़ा गया, now he wants to finish every last tasty morsel.
So what can England take from this series? वहाँ किसी भी सकारात्मक?
हालांकि यह शुरुआती दिनों, Ben Stokes looks like the new cub off of the Durham production line. He’s starting to prove me wrong, scoring runs and taking wickets. He remains an unpolished diamond, किनारों के आसपास एक छोटा मोटा, लेकिन समय और धैर्य के साथ, a promising international career awaits.
It’s important to remember that players often don’t come to England as a finished product. Just because he isn’t a front line bowler or a front line batsman doesn’t mean he can’t become so. When Andrew Flintoff made his debut he was seen as a batsman who was useful with the ball. Comparisons between players are misleading and can be harmful, heaping unnecessary pressure on a promising player to meet someone else’s standards, but they can light a beacon for the way to develop a player. Coaches can see what previously worked and try it out on their new class. Here’s hoping Stokes can build on the promising start he has made.
Michael Carberry has also hinted of a having what it takes at the highest level to succeed although at 33 he’s hardly one for the future and it’s difficult to see any real difference between him and Nick Compton.
Other than that it’s hard to pick anything out. All the batsmen have shown that they still have the ability to score runs but have failed to show any consistency. They have also failed dismally to bat in partnerships or to be able to put Mitchell Johnson in his place or to smack Nathan Lyon to all corners of the ground.
Jonathan Trott’s absence has and will continue to hit the side hard – not just because of his undoubted talent but his work off of the field too. It’s a sad case and the issues he faces seem to have a disproportionate effect in the world of cricket. Get better soon, Trotty.
As always the biggest question mark hangs over the head of Kevin Pieterson. Brilliant natural talent or selfish individual who bats for himself and not the team? It seems strange for any criticism to be levelled at someone who has scored in excess of 8,000 test runs for his country. He is undoubtedly on his day one of the best ever plays to wear an England shirt. But his dismissals seem to get dafter and dafter the more tests he plays. When the rest of the side isn’t firing either his failings become much more sharply focused. मेरे लिए वह में रखा जाना चाहिए. एक शुरुआत के लिए जो आप के साथ उसे जगह नहीं? और जब वह अच्छा है, he’s brilliant. But anyone with designs on making him into a team player may as well give up now.
Plus points are also difficult to pull out from the bowling performances. Some of that can certainly be put down to the collective ineptitude display by the batsmen. Bowlers need the former to put runs on the board for them to defend and that simply hasn’t happened. But performances have generally been below par, with mediocre players such as Smith and Haddin able to increase their averages nicely.
Australia have been the better side. Well played — although they have shown a distinct lack of class in the way they have handled themselves (there’s been a disappointing lack of sportsmanship in general this series – from both sides). Time for England to lick their wounds and regroup – and, मुझे उम्मीद है, put this down a terrible blip in form.
