हाल ही में पेशी की कमी के लिए क्षमा याचना करें - यह सब घर में एक नए आगमन के कारण है, जिसका अर्थ है मेरा जागना (और सो रहा है) बोतल फीडिंग सेशन और नैपी बदलाव में घंटों पूरी तरह से हावी हैं - हाँ थोड़ा सा बम्बिनो आ गया है. उसे लगभग 18 साल दे दो और वह इंग्लैंड के लिए खेल रही होगी.
वैसे भी; व्यवसाय के लिए.
अच्छी तरह से, कुछ हद तक विलियम शेक्सपियर को याद करने के लिए, वह इंग्लैंड के लिए असंतोष की सर्दी थी. एशेज में काफी अयोग्य प्रदर्शन के बाद, सबसे अधिक यह सोचा होगा कि यह किसी भी बदतर नहीं होगा. यह किया - नीदरलैंड के खिलाफ अपमानजनक हार (भले ही यह एक 'मृत रबर' था) तख्तापलट की कृपा साबित करना. इससे पहले कि और अंतिम शंबोलिक आउटिंग के बाद कुछ हाई प्रोफाइल हताहत हुए हैं - कोच कोच एंडी फ्लावर हैं, मध्य क्रम के मुख्य जोनाथन ट्रॉट और स्पिन किंग ग्रीम स्वान. और फिर निश्चित रूप से केविन पीटरसन के आसपास पूरी गाथा है. Gloveman Matt Prior will also be nervously looking over his shoulder as others threaten his place in the side.
So what of the coming summer? With Pietersen gone the argument is that the team is far more harmonious. Only those who were fortunate or unfortunate to have a place in the dressing room over the past year or so quite know what has gone with him. Was a case of little things building up and taking their toll? Such as his highly frustrating ability to get out by playing ridiculous shots when a cool and measured approach was needed to steady a middle-order collapse? शायद. I’m still not sure he was ever completely forgiven for his role in the fallout following on the texts received by South Africans about the team and captain. कौन जाने. Whatever – he is now gone and the team must move on – but they have lost their sprinkling of star-dust – their star player. Management is all about managing individuals – someone somewhere should have been able to manage him in a constructive manner.
And what of the appointment of Peter Moores? I can’t say I’m convinced. It seems a bit of a ‘steady’ choice to me – I’m sure he will be able to do a job of sorts but the challenge for Any Flower’s replacement was to get England back at the top of the world rankings – to prove that the Aussie shambles was a mere blip – a series to forget and to move on from. Moores does not inspire me with the confidence to do that. Previous international experience shouldn’t necessarily bar someone from international management but a coach needs to have the knowledge and the foresight to compete at the very highest level. दक्षिण अफ्रीका दूर हरा करने के लिए और एशेज पुनः प्राप्त करने के.
Only time will tell how far he can take England. But there are some decisions to be made – and they need making quickly – who replaces Trott and Pietersen in the middle order? Owain Morgan and Jonny Bairstow have yet to convince at test level. Bopara isn’t good enough. Gary Ballance hasn’t yet had the chance to put down a marker having only played the one test. Does he stick with Michael Carberry at the top of the order? Does Prior keep the gloves? Does Chris Jordan get the chance to convert a promising one-day and T20 international career into test match experience as the third choice seamer?
Whatever happens an exciting summer awaits!
