WOWU!! Umdlalo onjani. Ewe izigqibo ezothusayo (xa zibandakanya 3rd umpires) mhlawumbi yayenza yasondela kancinane kunokuba ibifanele (nangona omabini amacala ubunzima) kodwa esinjani isibhengezo esihle KWAKHONA kwiqakamba yomdlalo wovavanyo.
Ukuya kolu ngcelele kwakukhangeleka ngathi kuya kuba nzima ukuya e-Australia. Kwiphepha abathathu kuphela abadlali, okubhetele, ingayenza eNgilane iqala i-XI kwiqela lase-Australia-Clarke, I-Watson kunye ne-Siddle. Bambalwa abantu abanike ithuba. Kodwa ngemiboniso ethile yobuqhawe bayibonakalisile loo nto, xa kuziwa uthuthu ubuncinane, njengeqela bakhulu kunexabiso lamalungu abo.
Ngaphandle kwale iNgilane besakwazi ukuyijika kwaye ingqina ukuba banesitayile sokuphumelela xa konke kubonakala ngathi kulahlekile.
Kuya kubangela umdla kakhulu ukubona indlela yonke le minye iphuhlisa ngoku. Ngaba i-England ngoku iza kuba ngompu emva kwalomlo ulwalwa kangaka onamandla kwaye ucoce iindwendwe, or will the Antipodeans claim a much needed morale boost and fight tooth and nail throughout the remainder of the summer?
Mna andinakulinda - nangona ndingahlala ndigcina ugqirha uxakekile!
Ngoko kuthekani kuphengululo lomdlalo?
Ewe kwaqala ngesigqibo esingesihle esenziwe nguKapteni Cook sokuba athathe isigqibo soku-bat emva kokuphumelela i-toss kunye ne-saw-saw from that mzuzu.
Ukubethwa kakubi yi-England ngenxa yeyona nxalenye yokuqala kwii-innings zokuqala kunye nezigqibo ezothusayo kwaye emva koko ukubuya okuphezulu kuhlaselo lwaseNgilani kuphela ukuba luboniswe ngenani leminyaka eli-19. 11 kuyaqalisa.
Ukuvuselela isidima kwi-innings yase-England yesibini kunye no-Ian Bell onobunzima benkulungwane enhle (ngokubalaseleyo eyona yakhe yanikwa imeko yomdlalo) xa iNgilane ibiyifuna kakhulu kwaye uStuart Broad ebonakalisa inkxaso eqinileyo. They finished maybe 30–40 runs short however.
Kodwa okwangoku kwakhona abaphulisi bakwazile ukuyijika kunye noJoe Root omncinci ethatha iwigi ebalulekileyo yeCowan ebeka ithoni emva kokuqalisa okuhle ngabavuli babo. Ndithini kwikholamu yam yangaphambili? Bowl ngakumbi! Nokuba unika nje wena 10 neemali ezisuka-innings. The attack managed to rip through the Aussie line-up but for the second innings on the trot the last pair managed heroics only for England to snatch it at the death when the visitors had perhaps made themselves favourites.
Ndithi ukuhlaselwa kwe-England-ikhredithi kufuneka uye kuJimmy Anderson kwintsebenzo yakhe ngalo mdlalo. Ngaphandle kwekhulu le-Bell kunye nokungakhathalelwa kwe-Agar 98, akukhange kubekho nomnye umntu ozomlinganisa. Urekhodishe amanani 55 owuva wakhutshwa, ngokuba 13 yayingamantombi, ukuvuma 158 uleqa 10 Iiwotshi zokuphumelela kumdlalo. Ngokulula kwihlabathi-class. Uba ngcono kwaye ubangcono. Ngaphandle kwabanye Broad wayebonakala ulungile, USwann uthathe iiwiki ezimbalwa kodwa zange aphile ngokuhambelana nomdlalo wangaphambili we-hype kodwa uFinn kufuneka abe nexhala malunga nendawo yakhe. Uthathe ii-wike ezimbini ezibalulekileyo kwii-innings zokuqala kodwa zizonke zangaphatheki kakuhle kumdlalo wonke. Xa i-England yamdinga kwi-innings yesibini yehluleka ukuhlangula yabetha yaya epakini. Kwindawo yokuqala eNgilani i-bowles ibisezantsi ngenxa yokulimala egxalabeni lika-Broad's kodwa umphathi engakhange azive ebenethemba lokuya kuFinn.. Ngaphandle kovavanyo olulandelayo oludlalwe kwindawo esemva kwendlu kaFinn kwiiNkosi, silindele Itswele okanye Bresnan ukubuyisela kuye.
Ihlobo elinjani elinomdla esinalo phambi kwethu.
