واہ!! ڇا ميچ. ڇرڪائيندڙ امپائرنگ جا فيصلا ڪيا (جنھن مھل اوھان کي شامل 3ٿرڊ ایمپائروں) شايد ان کي ڪجهه ويجهو ڪيو ويو هو جئين جيڪو ٿيڻ گهرجي ها (باقي ٻنهي پاسن کان متاثر ٿيو) پر ٽيسٽ ميچ ڪرڪيٽ لاءِ وري به ڪهڙو شاندار اشتهار.
انهي سيريز ۾ وڃي اهو ڏسي رهيو هو ته اهو آسٽريليا لاءِ ڏکيو ٿي رهيو هو. ڪاغذن تي صرف ٽي رانديگر, بهترين تي, انهي کي آسٽريليا جي اسڪواڊ - ڪلارڪ کان شروع ڪندي انگلينڊ جي شروعات ڪرڻ ۾, واٽسسن ۽ سيڊل. ٿورا ماڻھو انھن کي موقعو ڏنو. پر ڪجهه هيروڪ ڊسپلي ذريعي انهن اهو ثابت ڪيو, جنھن مھل ان کي گهٽ ۾ گهٽ سنڌ جي خاڪ کي اچي, as a team they are greater than the sum of their individual parts.
Despite this England still managed to turn it around and prove that they have the mettle to win when all seemed lost.
It will be very interesting to see how the rest of the series develops now. Will England now steam ahead after this incredibly hard fought victory and whitewash the visitors, or will the Antipodeans claim a much needed morale boost and fight tooth and nail throughout the remainder of the summer?
I for one can’t wait – although I might be keeping the doctor busy!
پوء شاديء جي هڪ جائزو وٺڻ جي باري ۾ ڇا?
Well it started with a poor decision by Captain Cook to decide to bat after winning the toss and see-sawed from that moment on.
Poor batting by England for the most part in the first innings along with some shocking decisions and then a supreme comeback by the England attack only for it to be blunted by a 19 year old number 11 آهستي آهستي آهي.
A decent recovery in England’s second innings with Ian Bell weighing in with a brilliant century (arguably his best ever given the state of the game) when England really needed it and Stuart Broad proving strong support. They finished maybe 30–40 runs short however.
But yet again the bowlers managed to turn it around with young Joe Root taking the vital wicket of Cowan which set the tone after a good start by their openers. What did I say in my previous column? گدائي کيس وڌيڪ! جيتوڻيڪ هن چيو ته صرف توهان کي ڏئي ٿو 10 هڪ اننگ اوور. The attack managed to rip through the Aussie line-up but for the second innings on the trot the last pair managed heroics only for England to snatch it at the death when the visitors had perhaps made themselves favourites.
I say England attack – the credit must go to Jimmy Anderson for his performance during this game. Despite Bell’s century and Agar’s care-free 98, there really was no other candidate for man of the match. He recorded figures of 55 اوور bowled, جنهن جي 13 were maidens, conceding 158 لاء هلندو 10 match-winning wickets. بس دنيا-طبقاتي. He just gets better and better. Out of the others Broad looked OK, Swann took a couple of wickets but failed to live up to the pre-match hype but Finn must be very concerned about his place. He took a couple of important wickets in the first innings but overall bowled very poorly throughout the match. When England needed him in the second innings he failed to deliver and got smacked around the park. In the first innings England were a bowler down due to Broad’s shoulder injury but the captain clearly didn’t feel he had the confidence to call on Finn. Despite the next test being played in Finn’s backyard at Lords, بصر ڄمائيندي يا Bresnan کيس مٽائي ڪرڻ جي اميد.
What an exciting summer we have in front of us.
