সোমবার রিটার্ন অ্যাশেজ সিরিজের ইংল্যান্ড দল ঘোষণা করতে চলেছে। কাকে ইংল্যান্ড নেওয়া উচিত এবং কারা মিস করবে?
Let’s look at the “first on the teamsheet” players, এবং তারপর আমরা দেখি কিভাবে অনেক জায়গায় বাম পেয়েছেন.
- Batsmen: রাঁধুনি, মূল, ট্রট, Pieterson, ঘণ্টা
- Bowlers: অ্যান্ডারসন, প্রশস্ত, সোয়ান
- Keeper: পূর্বে
Nine of the starting 11 pick themselves. That leaves 8 grabs জন্য আপ স্থান, যা অন্তর্ভুক্ত করা উচিত 1 genuine batsman, 1 fast bowler, a back-up wicket keeper and a second spinner.
সম্ভব উইকেট কিপার
- জনি বেয়ারস্টো
- Jos Buttler
- Steve Davies
Jonny Bairstow is a fairly easy choice here as he is a genuine test batsman and has more test experience than the other contenders.
সম্ভাব্য ব্যাটসম্যানদের
- Michael Carberry
- নিক কম্পটন
- জেমস টেলরের
- গ্যারি ব্যালেন্স
- Ravi Bopara
- অ্যালেক্স Lees
যেমন আমি বাড়িতে অ্যাশেজ সিরিজের আগেই বলেছেন, I wouldn’t have promoted Joe Root so early in his career and would have continued with Nick Compton as opener. Now Root is established I wouldn’t demote him but Compton has what it takes to be an excellent test batsman and made good scores in previous away series. He also offers the option of opening if either Root or Cook get injured. Carberry misses out as he is 32 and England need to be thinking about the future. Bopara is a good limited overs batsman but hasn’t produced consistently enough at test level. Taylor, Lees and Ballance are promising, কিন্তু আমি নিশ্চিত তারা এখনো পরীক্ষা রঙ্গভূমি জন্য প্রস্তত নই, especially not making a début in an away series in Australia in an England batting line-up that isn’t in the best of form.
সম্ভাব্য বোলারদের
- টিম ব্রেসনান
- Chris Tremlett
- বয়েড র্যানকিন
- স্টিভেন ফিন
- Graham Onions
This is probably the most difficult decision — all of these bowlers are excellent and have produced the goods for England at one time or another. Both Tremlett and Finn did well in Australia in 2010 and both have the pace and height that is well suited to Australian wickets. Boyd Rankin also has pace and bounce and has done well for England recently. Graham Onions hasn’t played for England for a while but has had a good season and offers a different option. Tim Bresnan has consistently delivered the goods for England and can do a bit with the bat as well.
সম্ভাব্য দ্বিতীয় স্পিনার
- Monty Panesar
- Simon Kerrigan
- James Tredwell
This is a close decision between Panesar and Kerrigan. Panesar just about gets the nod due to his much greater test experience but this depends on him sorting out any issues off the field. If there are still reasons for doubt about his off-field behaviour then Kerrigan gets the nod. Tredwell misses out as Panesar is a better bowler, or if England are looking to the future, Kerrigan is a lot younger.
সম্ভাব্য সব-রাউন্ডার
- বেন স্টোকস
- ক্রিস ওকস
This is another difficult choice, either player could go or be left behind. Stokes had a good one day series, but test cricket is very different. He also had some disciplinary issues on a Lions tour earlier in the year.
প্রথম রাউন্ড অকার্যকর
If I pick some of the players listed above then we can have a look at the balance of the squad and use that to help select the last 2 অথবা 3 খেলোয়াড়দের
রাঁধুনি, মূল, ট্রট, Pieterson, ঘণ্টা, পূর্বে, প্রশস্ত, ব্রেসনান, সোয়ান, অ্যান্ডারসন, বেয়ারস্টো, কম্পটন, ট্রেমলেট, Panesar, ফিন্-গোষ্ঠীর লোক
এই আমাকে ছেড়ে 2 players to pick. I’ve picked 8 genuine batsman (including 2 wicket keepers), 5 fast bowlers and 2 spinners. We should take at least 1 more fast bowler and ideally an all-rounder. On balance I think England should take Stokes as a promising young all-rounder and Onions as the final fast bowler. Onions just edges out Rankin as he offers something different and has considerably more experience.
চূড়ান্ত স্কোয়াড
রাঁধুনি, মূল, ট্রট, Pieterson, ঘণ্টা, পূর্বে, ব্রেসনান, প্রশস্ত, সোয়ান, ট্রেমলেট, অ্যান্ডারসন, বেয়ারস্টো, কম্পটন, Panesar, ফিন্-গোষ্ঠীর লোক, স্টোকস, পেঁয়াজ
Some of the other players who just missed out (ওকস, Bopara, Kerrigan, র্যাঙ্কিন) should get their chance in the limited overs games to show that they deserve to be included in the squads for next summer against Sri Lanka and India.
I’ve listed my first choice 11 প্রথম 11 players. I’ve picked a 5‑man bowling attack as I think England will want the height and bounce of Tremlett and will also need 4 fast bowlers for the hot Australian conditions. England like to have an a number 6 batsman but I’ve promoted Prior to 6 and made Tim Bresnan my number 7 all-rounder as he offers quite a lot with the bat (his test average is 30; Bairstow averages 30; কম্পটন 32)
Without Bresnan (fitness to be proved) and Onions (unjustly not selected) I think they need some extra batting, so if Ballance does anything before the first test I might try him at no.6. If he doesn’t look ready then Bairstow is in the frame. The makes Prior, Broad and Swann nos. 7, 8 and 9 which doesn’t look shabby, with Jimmy at 10 and one of the twin towers, Finn or Tremlett, at 11.
