0Uthuthu Zicimelokuqalisa eNgilani 11 Ndathatha yi Michael Clarke

ipapashwe ngokuthi & efayilini phantsi uthuthu.

Kudliwanondlebe oluhlaziyayo ukaputeni wase-Australia uMichael Clarke uye isaziso i-England iqala 11 kuvavanyo lokuqala lweThuthu. Asiqinisekanga ukuba yinto entle ebonakala ngathi uyalazi iqela, kodwa iqela alidwelileyo liqela esasiya kuba silichongile, so it could be just intel­li­gent guesswork.

If Eng­land had selec­ted Gra­ham Onions in their squad (njengoko kufanele ukuba kwenziwe) we would have pre­ferred to see them play 5 bowl­ers, but Eng­land rarely pick 5 and they wont want to change a for­mula that has brought them a lot of suc­cess in the last few years. Most of the team picks itself (1 wick­et keep­er, 3 obvi­ous bowl­ers and 4 obvi­ous bats­men) ngoko kukho ngokwenene kuphela 3 places to sort out. Giv­en that Eng­land con­sist­ently pick 4 bowl­ers we need to find 1 bowl­er and 2 bats­men. In all 3 Kwiimeko ukhetho tye-phambili.

  2. ICarberry
  3. Trott
  4. Pieterson
  5. intsimbi
  6. ingcambu
  7. Pri­or (okanye Bairstow)
  8. ebanzi
  9. Swann
  10. Anderson
  11. Trem­lett

This is a pretty strong look­ing side, mna izibiliboco amathuba abo nayiphi 11 the Aus­sies have to offer. So with that in mind, it’s time for my series pre­dic­tion. I’m going to go with 3–0 to Eng­land, although I would­n’t be all that sur­prised if the Aus­sies sneaked one. With that said, what do we expect the Aus­sie side to be?

  1. Chris Rogers
  2. UDavid Warner
  3. UShane Watson
  4. Michael Clarke
  5. Steve Smith
  6. George Bailey
  7. UBrad Haddin
  8. Mitchell John­son
  9. peter Siddle
  10. Ryan Harris
  11. Nathan Lyon

Njengokuba sele sitshilo ngaphambili, we’re not con­vinced by Shane Wat­son or Steve Smith as bats­men. George Bailey in unknown and unproven at test level. In the bowl­ing depart­ment Mitchell John­son does­n’t tend to bowl well against Eng­land and Nath­an Lyon would­n’t get near the Eng­land start­ing 11. 3 of the Aus­sie 6 bats­men are left-handed which is a bonus for Graeme Swann.
