انگلينڊ جي اسڪواڊ واپسي ايشز سيريز لاءِ سومر تي اعلان ٿيڻ واري آهي. ڪير انگلينڊ وٺي ۽ ڪير وڃائيندو?
Let’s look at the “first on the teamsheet” players, ۽ پوء ڏسي ڪيئن ڪيترن ئي هنڌن تي اسان کي کاٻي ملي وئي.
- Batsmen: پچائڻ, پاڙ, Trott, Pieterson, بيل
- Bowlers: اينڊرسن, ويڪرو, Swann
- Keeper: اڳئين
Nine of the starting 11 pick themselves. That leaves 8 grabs لاء مٿي هنڌن تي, جنهن ۾ شامل ڪرڻ گهرجي 1 genuine batsman, 1 fast bowler, a back-up wicket keeper and a second spinner.
ممڪن وڪيٽن تان دربان
- جوني بيئرسٽو
- 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.
ممڪن وڪيٽون
- Michael Carberry
- نک Compton
- جيمس Taylor
- Gary Ballance
- Ravi Bopara
- ڪيريو Lees
جيئن ته مون کي هن جي گهر خاڪ اچڻ کان اڳ چيو ته, 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, پر مون کي اڃان تائين يقين اهي امتحان ميدان لاء تيار آهين نه آهيان, 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.
ممڪن پاران
- تيم Bresnan
- Chris Tremlett
- Boyd Rankin
- سايون بالصبر
- 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.
ممڪن ٻيو spinners
- 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.
ممڪن سڀ-rounders
- بين Stokes
- ڪرس Woakes
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.
پهريون دور چنتا
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 يا 3 رانديگرن
پچائڻ, پاڙ, Trott, Pieterson, بيل, Prior, ويڪرو, Bresnan, Swann, اينڊرسن, بيئر اسٽيٽ, Compton, Tremlett, Panesar, بالصبر
هن مون کي مليل 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.
آخري اسڪواڊ
پچائڻ, پاڙ, Trott, Pieterson, بيل, Prior, Bresnan, ويڪرو, Swann, Tremlett, اينڊرسن, بيئر اسٽيٽ, Compton, Panesar, بالصبر, Stokes, بصر
Some of the other players who just missed out (Woakes, Bopara, Kerrigan, Rankin) 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 پهرين ته جيئن 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; Compton 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 ۽ 9 which doesn’t look shabby, with Jimmy at 10 and one of the twin towers, Finn or Tremlett, at 11.
