Iqakamba ngumdlalo apho uninzi lwabalandeli lulindele ukuba amaqhawe abo abambelele kumgangatho ophezulu wokudlala ngokufanelekileyo kunye nemidlalo.
Isiganeko sangoku se 'Mankading' (ngubani emhlabeni waqamba eli binzana?) -Xa uSachithra Senanayake waseSri Lanka ebaleka uJoseph Buttler waseNgilani owayephambukile kwisiphelo sakhe esiphelweni esingemmdlali kwindawo yomdlalo wokugqibela kunye nokuthatha isigqibo nge-ODI kolu chungechunge kwakudanisa ukubona kwaye ngombulelo kuhlala kunqabile kakhulu.
Isiganeko sokugqibela endisikhumbulayo kuxa uCapil Dev waphulukana noPeter Kirsten waseMzantsi Afrika, ngokucacileyo ngaphandle kwesilumkiso: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v = RzbFy_elb8k
Iiakhawunti ezingafaniyo zangoLwesibini onjeya uSenanayake walumkisa uButtler kabini okanye kube kanye. Ngolunye uhlobo, yayingelikhilikithi. Isaphetha bekungafanelekanga ukuba sikwenzile kwaye umphathi makabe esogqithile kwisibheno. Akazange, Kwathi ngoko abaseleyo ukubala iindleko uxinzelelo kwi umdlalo.
Yintoni ongayithandiyo mna, kunjalo, iNgilane isebenzisa le mpikiswano ingenasidima ukukhusela omnye umsebenzi owaxubana kakhulu ngexesha lothotho lwe-ODI.
ISri Lanka licala elifanelekileyo - kodwa ngaphandle komatshini othatha iiwikethi ebenguMuttiah Muralitharan kulungelelwaniso nakwinzuzo yasekhaya ubuya kulindela i-England ukuba iphumelele uthotho.
Khange babenakho kwaye ityala elininzi lalonto kufuneka libekwe kumgca wokubetha. Umyalelo ophezulu kakhulu uhamba ngeenyawo kwaye awuhambelani. umpheki, intsimbi, I-Ballance kunye ne-Root zizinto ezilungileyo zomdlalo omde kodwa azisebenzi kakuhle ngokwaneleyo xa inani lee-overs lilinganiselwe. UMorgan unokuba ngumdlali omnandi- ngomhla wakhe. Ngokubanzi i-dynamism iyasilela ngandlela ithile. Ezi ntsuku inqaku 300 yipar nje yekhosi endaweni yetotali ekhethekileyo. I-England kunqabile ukuba ijongeke isondele ngokwaneleyo kuloo nto, kungasathethwa bayingqushe. Zonke iodolo eziphezulu zikwazi ukubetha intle 50 okanye njalo - kodwa ngesiqhelo kwinqanaba elingaphantsi kokubaleka ibhola. Ubuncinci i-odolo kufuneka ifikelele rhoqo kumanani amathathu- kwaye kwinqanaba elifanelekileyo. Akufanele bathembele kuButler kunye noChris Jordan ukuba babe yintshatsheli emva kwexesha lokutyhala ukuya kwisiqingatha sesidima esipheleleyo. Ngexesha abaqhele ukuba kulo ndawo ihlala kuyo sele kudlule ixesha.
I-Buttler ifuna ukunyusa iodolo mhlawumbi no-Alex Hales evula ukubetha. UBopara kufuneka ahambe-engalunganga ngokwaneleyo nge-bat okanye ngokungqinelana ngokwaneleyo nebhola-uChris Jordan kunye, xa ebuyela, UChris Broad angazalisa zonke iindawo ezijikelezayo.

Xa i-Yorkshire ityikitya isitya esikhawulezayo u-Liam Plunkett ndicinga ukuba uneminyaka yobudala apho wayefudukele khona kwi-county kwi-swansong yokugqibela ngaphambi kokuthatha umhlala-phantsi kunye nomsebenzi weendaba.. kubonakala ngathi ukuba ekudala likho. Nguye kuphela 29, kunjalo, kwaye uneminyaka emininzi ezintle ekhohlo kuye. Ukufudukela kwi-White Rose kuye kwaphinda kwavuselela umsebenzi wakhe kwaye i-England yanamhlanje yokubiza kwakhona ngumvuzo owaneleyo.

Nabani na ocinga ukuba uAndrew 'Freddy' Flintoff uyakusokola ekubuyeni kwakhe kwikilikithi yokuqala yeLancashire kufuneka abukele le ntlanzi ingummangaliso.. Isenokuba kuthatha imidlalo ezimbalwa kuye ukubuyela bisela ngokupheleleyo kodwa icacile uye ndibhaqwe oko. ithamsanqa Fred (nokuba ngumdlalo yokuqala emva uchasene Yorkshire!)
