Izitya zokubhaka zenza kancinci njengesiqhelo, kunye no “Rooooot” kunye no Kapteni Cook benze ezinye. Abanye ababambisi abaphambili beyona ndawo ixhalabisayo nangona uAlex Hales enze ngokwaneleyo ukukhusela indawo yakhe yokuvula ubuncinci kwixesha elifutshane.

ENgilani ePakistan
Olunjani uthotho oluqaqambileyo. IPakistan liqela elihle, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha babedlala iqakamba ebalaseleyo ehlotyeni. Ukuba babekwazile ukungaguquguquki banokuthi kwaye ngekufanele ukuba baphumelele uthotho, kodwa i-England licala elinikwa isohlwayo ukuba uyekisa ukugada kwaye iPakistan ibineeseshoni ezininzi apho ziyeke khona ukugxila. Kwiimeko umzobo we-2-2 wawusisiphumo esifanelekileyo, kwaye ngokufanelekileyo uthumele iPakistan phezulu kwinqanaba lovavanyo lwehlabathi. Umlinganiso wecala elilunge kakhulu kukukwazi ukwenza iimeko zangaphandle, nasePakistan wenza ukuba. Eyona nto yayimangalisa nangakumbi yayikukudlala kwemidlalo, konke okunomtsalane kunikwe ezinye zembali phakathi kwamacala kunye nokugcuma okujolise kuMohammad Amir.
Ubusika obuzayo baseNgilani
Ukusebenza kwekhaya laseNgilani ngokuchasene nePakistan akundishiyi ndiziva ndinethemba ngohambo lwabo lobusika eBangladesh naseIndiya. Ndilindele ukuba iNgilane iphumelele eBangladesh, njengokuba mna Ndiqinisekile abantu abaninzi benza, Nangona kunjalo ndikwalindele ukuba benze umsebenzi onzima ngayo, kunye nexesha ezinzima kakhulu India. Ugxininiso luya kuba kwizitya, nge eNgilani kusilela iinketho ezininzi ezisemgangathweni, kodwa ukuba abahlaseli benza iNgilani banokumangaliswa i-India kwaye ubuncinci banokwazi ukuthatha i-draw. Andithandabuzi malunga nababethi baseNgilani abenza lo msebenzi e-India nangona kunjalo. Besithembele kakhulu kuCook, ingcambu, kwaye lo myalelo esezantsi. Sifuna abanye abadlali kunye neklasi ukuba badlale ixesha elide lokujikeleza. Ndingathanda ukubona ukukhumbula kabini kweBell kunye ne-KP - bobabini benze iimbaleki ezininzi eIndiya ngaphambili, kodwa iihagu ziyakubhabha phambi kokuba yenzeke lonto. Ukungabikho kwabo ndicingela ukoyiswa kothotho lweNgilani ezandleni zelizwe laseIndiya elisandula ukubalasela.
