1ऑस्ट्रेलिया टोंक केलेले - आता भविष्यासाठी

सर्वप्रथम उशिरा साइट अद्यतनित न केल्याबद्दल दिलगीर आहोत - या साइटच्या दुसर्‍या लेखकासह मी युरोपमधून प्रवास करत आहे.

आम्ही आता तरी परत, त्यामुळे भय नाही.

त्यामुळे, इंग्लंडने अखेरच्या दिवशी कसोटी कामगिरीसह अ‍ॅशेस गुंडाळले आणि त्यांना खरोखर पॅकिंग पाठवले. इंग्लंडच्या कामगिरीबद्दल आणि बद्दल बरेच काही आधीच लिहिले गेले आहे, विशेषतः, स्टुअर्ट ब्रॉडची कामगिरी. ते उत्कृष्ट होते, शेवटी.

म्हणून मी काहीतरी वेगळंच काहीतरी केंद्रित करणार आहे, थोडे बंद-केंद्र आपण तर.

जेव्हा काही वर्षांपूर्वी ऑस्ट्रेलिया आपल्या सर्वोच्च स्थानी होता (आता फार पूर्वी दिसते!) the one mis­take they made was not to blood up-and-com­ing young­sters so they had a chance to exper­i­ence the highs and lows of test match cricket.

Their side always picked itself and they stuck to an oft-quoted prin­cip­al of not chan­ging a win­ning side (फारतर). But when the golden gen­er­a­tion decided to call it quits the dearth of exper­i­enced tal­ent was imme­di­ately available.

Eng­land now are in a pos­i­tion of strength. Whilst it would be great to beat the Aus­sies 4–0 we have won the Ashes and won them com­fort­ably. There is no argu­ment – we are a far bet­ter team than they are.

Now would be the per­fect time to test a few young­sters in what will still be a com­pet­it­ive game (the Aus­sies still have काही खेळण्याची अभिमान) एक नाही पराभूत परिस्थितीत.

I’m not say­ing we should tear up the team sheet and start again but there’s no harm with test­ing a few lads.

Firstly I think we should look at who is going to be our next spin­ner. Monty Pan­esar has seem­ingly had a melt down and Simon Ker­rigan has leapt above him in the peck­ing order. Graeme Swann has been England’s best spin-bowl­er for years but he isn’t going to be around for ever and can be prone to the odd knock. Ker­rigan should start.

टीम ब्रेस्ननचा चेंडू उत्तम खेळला आहे परंतु आता जखमी आहे. Woakes and Onions have been called with one of them likely to take his place unless Eng­land break a time-hon­oured pos­i­tion and pick two spin­ners at the Oval. Per­son­ally I’m not that sure about Woakes but if Eng­land see him as the future then let’s see what he’s made of.

One pos­i­tion that is rarely talked about these days is that of wick­et keep­er. That’s a massive vote of con­fid­ence in Matt Pri­or who has made the pos­i­tion his own. पण पुढील येतो? Are Eng­land look­ing to have Jonny Bair­stow as his long-term suc­cessor? Or are they look­ing else­where? एकतर मार्ग चाचणी सामना रिंगण दुसरा पर्याय चाचणी करण्यासाठी एक कल्पना असेल.

यासाठी की, आधीच तीन बदल आहे. Now what about the bat­ting line-up? तसेच, घंटा बाजूला, वरच्या फळीतील मुख्यत्वे प्रकाशणे अपयशी ठरले आहेत, get­ting starts but not con­vert­ing them and not bat­ting in part­ner­ships. Des­pite this the top order, with the pos­sible excep­tion of Bair­stow, will pick itself for the next instal­ment of the Ashes but there’s no harm in see­ing what oth­ers have to offer. Taylor is clearly in the select­ors’ thoughts but two York­shire lads –Gary Bal­lance (who hit a cen­tury for the Eng­land Lions vs the Aus­sies) is there or there­abouts as is fel­low Yorkie, 20 वर्षीय अॅलेक्स Lees. One of the three should be con­sidered with any of the cur­rent bats­men (घंटा आणि कुक बाजूला) hav­ing a rest.

Revolu­tion­ary stuff I know, and we do run the risk of los­ing the last match, but wouldn’t it be even sweeter if we still tonked them with four first-team­ers out.

म्हणून बाजूला आपण या दोन लेखक अभिमान वाटेल. When in Venice on our European adven­ture we got into con­ver­sa­tion with two young Aus­trali­an ladies. Des­pite their back­ground we both man­aged to avoid the burn­ing tempta­tion to men­tion the crick­et. आम्हाला सुवर्ण स्टार!
