ukuhlolwa okubili in, 1-0 kuya eNdiya. Ihlobo elimpofu laseNgilandi liqhubeke ngokufutheka namuhla ngokumangazayo (sorry, olushaqisayo) ukuwa ngemuva kwasemini namuhla ukunikeza izivakashi isinyathelo esiya phambili kulo lonke uchungechunge. Ngobufakazi obukhona manje kuzoba nzima ukubona i-India edlule iwina uchungechunge.
Izinzuzo eziphezulu zaseNgilandi zidinga ukusukuma zibalwe. Kuningi osekuvele kubhaliwe ngoCook - angizukungeza kulokhu lapha - kepha uBell udinga ukuthola amanye amaphuzu ukuze asize ukususa ingcindezi kukaputeni wakhe osenkingeni. Ngaphambi kokufika kumuntu oshaqisayo nanamuhla - engezwe ekusebenzeni okuxubile ngemuva kweziqu kanye nokulimala okunciphisayo futhi kungenzeka kube ukubonakala kwakhe kokugcina ehembe laseNgilandi. Ukukhothama kusuka ku-Anderson naku-Broad ngokuqinisekile kube ngcono futhi. UMichael Vaughan namhlanje uphakamise ukuthi u-Anderson noma u-Broad - ngokunokwenzeka owokugcina - asuswe. Mhlawumbe inketho enjalo 'yenuzi' iyadingeka ukuyisa iqembu phambili esikhathini eside. Certainly something needs to happen.
Njengoba ngike ngabhala phambilini kubonakala sengathi silahlekelwe yimizwa yokubulala. Sidinga ukuyibuyisa futhi sisheshe ngaphambi kokuba ihlobo lichazwe ngokulahlekelwa yiSri Lanka ne-India.
Ezinye izinto ezinhle ongazisusa ehlobo kuze kube manje? UJoe Root ubonakala ethuthuka impela eba ngumdlali osezingeni eliphezulu - nomuntu othola amagoli uma kubaluleke ngempela. Ukuqinisa kwakhe umsila (Kulungile enkundleni yaseTrent Bridge kukalwe 'mpofu' ngunompempe womdlalo uDavid Boon) bekungukusebenza kwekilasi. Akazange athole uhhafu wekhulu owusizo - esikhundleni salokho wabeka i- 150 amaphuzu ebhodini lapho Into. UMoeen Ali ubuye abe ngundabuzekwayo ohlangothini - i-twirler esebenzisekayo enesikhumba nomdlali onenja ephethe i-willow (yize iNgilandi idinga ukumsebenzisa i-batting all-rounder hhayi inketho enkulu yokuphotha). UGary Balance naye unesigaba nobuchule bokuphumelela isikhathi eside phezulu kwe-oda.
Ngaphandle kwalokho iNgilandi idinga kakhulu i-spinner esezingeni eliphakeme - ngaphandle kolunye uhlangothi olungenayo ibhalansi. Ngabe uMonty angahlungwa? Ingabe akhona amathuba okuba Swann ngizoxoxa, noma kuyinto ukulimala kwakhe eqinisweni kwanje khulu? Uma Cook Ufika zithathelwe indawo (Ngicabanga anakho test eyodwa ngaphezulu) ngabe lokho kungavula indlela yokubuyela ohlangothini lwe-maverick yomfana omubi (kodwa bloomin ’umdlali omuhle) UKevin Pietersen uzobuya? Futhi yize uStokes eyisitobha esisebenzisekayo mhlawumbe ukulungele kakhulu ukubamba iqhaza lokuthunga lesihlanu kunokuba abe ngomunye wabashesha abane kuphela - ikakhulukazi uma ifomu lakhe nelulwane lishoda ngandlela thile. ikusasa lakhe, Nokho, ilele ezingeni lamazwe omhlaba futhi ngimbuyisela emuva ukuze aphumelele isikhathi eside.
Zonke izinto okufanele zicatshangelwe ngesikhathi esivivinyweni sesithathu sangeSonto…. Hhayi izikhathi happy for England
