One isivivinyo, England ungomunye-nil phansi. Wenze kahle Pakistan
Njengoba ukunganakwa Sri Lanka eceleni England kukhona phakathi a sterner ukuhlolwa okuningi elibekwa e-yakha Pakistan. Futhi izivakashi waphumelela lapho abanye abaningi bahluleke zamuva, i.e. ukuze adalule ubuthakathaka yeNgilandi.
Mhlawumbe ubuthakathaka main eNgilandi ukuntuleka izinga phezulu wesipina. Moeen Ali kuyasiza a over ezinhle ezimbalwa futhi eluse ukubamangaza batsmen eziningi ukuphamba wawayisa umuzwa wokulondeka ongamanga. Ungu, Nokho, a wesipina yesibili. Uma icala lakhe lalingase bat wayezokwazi ohlangothini? Angeke kwenzeke impela. He option yokusekelayo, akuvezi okokusebenza kuhlasela. Kanjani futhi kungani England baye bakhetha ukungazinaki Adil Rashid Okungimangaza. Phakathi namashumi eminyaka edlule kubakhethi IsiZulu baye babonisa ukuthi akathandi ingulube umlenze-spinners noRashid ubonakala singangena ka avuzayo a iphelela ezimbalwa - kodwa kungase kutholakale ODIs futhi T20s ukuthi uyakwazi ukuyigcina Friend. Kuyajabulisa baye okungenani wabonisa Bazimisele ukubeka leli lungelo ngokugqugquzela bamqamba ngokuthi esikhathini 13 umuntu squad for test kwesibili. Kufanele ukhethe kuye - ikakhulukazi njengoba Old Trafford ivame ukunikeza isikhuthazo kuya twirlers. England abe kancane uxakekile Ukukhetha ngezandla zazo - Ngiyasola Ben Stokes kanye Moeen ayalwa yona endaweni eyodwa.
Ubuthakathaka besibili ukuthembela kweNgilandi kuJimmy Anderson nokuthi bazomkhumbula kangakanani umfana waseBurnley lapho ekugcineni elengisa amabhuzu akhe. Jake Ball kwaba yakamuva ukunikeza it go. Ukuhlolwa okukodwa futhi kungaphambi kwesikhathi ukwenza izincazelo ezicacile kodwa ubonakale enokuthile ngaye. Kuyadingeka nokho ukuthi uStuart Broad alengise iminyaka embalwa futhi uJimmy avalelise kahle.
Ngeshwa ngokumelene nokuphikiswa okuphezulu njengePakistan England kudinga wonke umuntu odubula kuwo wonke amasilinda. Umuntu oyedwa ongeyena impela nguSteven Finn. Wenza isitsha kangcono kakhulu-innings yesibili - futhi ingcono kakhulu kunanoma izibalo yakhe ibonisa - kanti lokho mhlawumbe ukuthi wamgcina e squad for the test kwesibili. Ngaphandle ijubane ayenalo nakuba Ngokuqinisekile, siyokwenza ngendlela uma XII lokugcina ogama lakhe.
Umuntu ujabulela isichibi onsomi, Nokho, kuyinto Chris Woakes. Uthi impela kudlulwe yilindele muva kanti uzovela kwazo ukuba nibe ngabakaJesu kulelizinga. Nelulwane umfana ikani kakhulu - iphelela yigugu oda aphansi inikezwe Okubanzi livela ayikwazi ukuthola uhlobo lwakhe ubudala - okuthunyelwe ubuso nangesigqoko smash.
Amajaji namanje out on James Vince - iphelela ewusizo kule-innings yesibili - i.e. uma ngempela (kodwa hhayi ngokwanele) ukubala, umusa wakhe kodwa wayesengaba ukwenzani ongqongqoza ehloniphekile ukukholisa kubakhethi ukuyiphi kulelizinga.
Futhi ekugcineni - i-wund egcina i-conundrum. I-Bairstow ingena ohlangothini njengomshayi futhi ilifanele lelo bala. Isikhathi sizotshela kuphela uma iNgilandi ithathe isinqumo sokukhetha unozinti ongcono (Jos Buttler is the next in line but is only marginally better at the glovework).
“Ibhola eliphinki libonakala limpunga/eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngokubomvu/okuhlaza ngokungaboni kahle, kuye ngokuqina kwayo. Ngenza ukulingisa ngobumpumputhe bemibala…”
