1اوسیز ٹونکڈ - اب مستقبل کے لئے

سب سے پہلے سائٹ کو دیر سے تازہ کاری نہ کرنے کے لئے معذرت - اس سائٹ کے دوسرے مصنف کے ساتھ جس کے ساتھ میں یورپ جا رہا ہوں.

اب ہم واپس آ گئے ہیں اگرچہ, اتنا نہیں ڈرتے.

تو, انگلینڈ نے آخری دن اچھ .ا کھیل کا مظاہرہ کرتے ہوئے ایشیز کو اپنی لپیٹ میں لے لیا. انگلینڈ کی کارکردگی اور اس کے بارے میں پہلے ہی بہت کچھ لکھا جا چکا ہے, خاص طور پر, اسٹوارٹ براڈ کی کارکردگی. یہ عمدہ تھا, کے اختتام.

لہذا میں کچھ مختلف چیزوں پر توجہ مرکوز کرنے جا رہا ہوں, ایک چھوٹی سی آف مرکز اگر آپ.

جب آسٹریلیا کچھ سال پہلے عروج پر تھا (ابھی کچھ وقت پہلے لگتا ہے!) the one mis­take they made was not to blood up-and-com­ing young­sters so they had a chance to exper­i­ence the highs and lows of test match cricket.

Their side always picked itself and they stuck to an oft-quoted prin­cip­al of not chan­ging a win­ning side (بہتر ہے). But when the golden gen­er­a­tion decided to call it quits the dearth of exper­i­enced tal­ent was imme­di­ately available.

Eng­land now are in a pos­i­tion of strength. Whilst it would be great to beat the Aus­sies 4–0 we have won the Ashes and won them com­fort­ably. There is no argu­ment – we are a far bet­ter team than they are.

Now would be the per­fect time to test a few young­sters in what will still be a com­pet­it­ive game (the Aus­sies still have کچھ لئے کھیلنے کے لئے فخر) ایک نہیں کھو صورتحال میں.

I’m not say­ing we should tear up the team sheet and start again but there’s no harm with test­ing a few lads.

Firstly I think we should look at who is going to be our next spin­ner. Monty Pan­esar has seem­ingly had a melt down and Simon Ker­rigan has leapt above him in the peck­ing order. Graeme Swann has been England’s best spin-bowl­er for years but he isn’t going to be around for ever and can be prone to the odd knock. Ker­rigan should start.

ٹم بریسنن کو اچھی طرح سے ادا کیا ہے لیکن اب زخمی ہے. Woakes and Onions have been called with one of them likely to take his place unless Eng­land break a time-hon­oured pos­i­tion and pick two spin­ners at the Oval. Per­son­ally I’m not that sure about Woakes but if Eng­land see him as the future then let’s see what he’s made of.

One pos­i­tion that is rarely talked about these days is that of wick­et keep­er. That’s a massive vote of con­fid­ence in Matt Pri­or who has made the pos­i­tion his own. لیکن وہ لوگ جو اگلے آتا ہے? Are Eng­land look­ing to have Jonny Bair­stow as his long-term suc­cessor? Or are they look­ing else­where? بہر حال یہ ٹیسٹ میچ میدان میں ان کی دوسری آپشن ٹیسٹ کرنے کے لئے ایک خیال ہو گا.

تو ہے کہ تین تبدیلیاں پہلے سے ہی ہے. Now what about the bat­ting line-up? ویسے, بیل ایک طرف, ٹاپ آرڈر کو بڑی حد تک چمک کرنے میں ناکام رہے ہیں, get­ting starts but not con­vert­ing them and not bat­ting in part­ner­ships. Des­pite this the top order, with the pos­sible excep­tion of Bair­stow, will pick itself for the next instal­ment of the Ashes but there’s no harm in see­ing what oth­ers have to offer. Taylor is clearly in the select­ors’ thoughts but two York­shire lads –Gary Bal­lance (who hit a cen­tury for the Eng­land Lions vs the Aus­sies) is there or there­abouts as is fel­low Yorkie, 20 سالہ ایلکس مزید. One of the three should be con­sidered with any of the cur­rent bats­men (بیل اور کک کو ایک طرف) hav­ing a rest.

Revolu­tion­ary stuff I know, and we do run the risk of los­ing the last match, but wouldn’t it be even sweeter if we still tonked them with four first-team­ers out.

ایک کے طور پر ایک طرف آپ ان دو مصنفین میں فخر ہو جائے گا. When in Venice on our European adven­ture we got into con­ver­sa­tion with two young Aus­trali­an ladies. Des­pite their back­ground we both man­aged to avoid the burn­ing tempta­tion to men­tion the crick­et. ہمارے لئے سونے کا ستارہ!
