Umqeqeshi wase-Australia uMickey Arthur unikeze inhlolokhono lapho ethi ucabanga ukuthi ukuhlaselwa kwe-Bowling Bowling okwedlula zonke emhlabeni kuhamba phambili emhlabeni! Lokhu ngikuthatha emoyeni we-"Glenn McGrath" yendabuko yangaphambi komoya, kodwa u-Arthur akazange asho ukuthi babengcono kunokuhlaselwa kwe-England (-ngazi ngokwanele ngokwayo) kepha ungcono kunabo bonke abanye emhlabeni. Ngakho-ke kufanele ngabe i-England iyathuthumela ngempela emabhuthini ayo?
Ake siqale ngomhlaba wamanje wokuhlola #1 hlanganisa iNingizimu Afrika bese uqhathanisa ithalente labo lokubhowula ne-Aussie line-up yamanje
UVernon Philander: 16 Uvivinyo, 89 amawikhethi 17.13

Ngakho - ukuhlasela kwaseNingizimu Afrika kudlalile 3 Izikhathi uvivinyo abaningi phakathi kwabo (yize uqhathanisa 4 abadlali ukuze 5) futhi ngithathe amawikhethi amaningi ngesilinganiso esiphansi. Futhi ziyinombolo yomhlaba okwamanje 1 futhi awufiki lapho ngaphandle kokuthi ukuhlaselwa kwakho kwe-bowling kusefomini. Ngokwazi kwami ngikhulelwe ayikho enye ingxoxo edingekayo. Kepha ake sibone nje ukuthi iNgilandi ingena kanjani…
UJames Anderson: 82 Uvivinyo, 307 amawikhethi 30.14
UStuart Broad: 57 Uvivinyo, 195 amawikhethi 30.93
Steven Finn: 22 Uvivinyo, 88 amawikhethi 28.73
Graeme Swann: 52 Uvivinyo, 222 amawikhethi 28.50
Kukonke: 213 Uvivinyo, 812 amawikhethi 29.73
Ukuhlasela kwe-England kudlale ama-Test angaphezu kokuphindwe kabili futhi kwathatha amawikhethi angaphezu kokuphindwe kabili. Ama-Aussie anonqenqema oluncane ezilinganisweni kodwa kuncane kakhulu kuwo (0.8 isebenza ngewikhethi ngayinye, noma 16 iphelela nomdlalo ngamunye). I-Aussie line-up nayo ayisebenzi kangako (i.e. I-Swann iyi-spinner engcono kakhulu kunanoma yini ama-Aussies okufanele anikele ngayo). U-Arthur uphinde wakhuluma ngamandla ngokujula, kepha ngeBresnan enolwazi iyatholakala, namanye ama-bowlers aphezulu atholakala naseNgilandi nawo anamandla amakhulu ngokujula. Ezimweni zaseNgilandi abaphosayo baseNgilandi bangalindelwa ukuthi bazothola inzuzo - ikakhulukazi uGraeme Swann esebenza kahle kakhulu kwabanobunxele (Ama-Aussies anakho 5 abashayayo abangakwesokunxele eqenjini labo labesilisa abangu-16 - uHughes, Warner, Cowan, UKhawaja noWade)
Kunjalo, abase-Aussies bafuna ukukhuluma ngokuhlaselwa kwe-bowling ngoba banokukhathazeka okukhulu mayelana nokushaya kwabo phezulu. Ngingenza ukuqhathanisa, kodwa akucaci nokuthi i-Aussie line-up izoba yini. Ngokubona kwami umdlali we-Aussie kuphela ongangena ohlangothini lwe-England ngukaputeni wabo olimele uMichael Clarke. Pheka, Trott, I-KP ne-Root konke kuqinile edwaleni kanti uMat Prior mhlawumbe nguyena ongcono kunabo bonke emhlabeni okwamanje.
Sengiphetha: ulayini we-bowling ungahle ulingane ngokulinganayo, kepha kukonke akukho mncintiswano - iNgilandi iyizintandokazi eziqinile futhi kunjalo. Vele i-Australia inethuba elihle - kodwa bazodinga inhlanhla eceleni kwabo ekulimaleni, the phosa, noma isimo sezulu sasehlobo saseNgilandi. Ngenxa yokungalimali noma ukuphuka kwesimo sezulu nokujikijela engikulindele ukuthi iNgilandi izowina ngokunethezeka njengoba yenzile e-Australia okokugcina - okungenani 2 matches. Call it 3–1 or better.
“Ibhola eliphinki libonakala limpunga/eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngokubomvu/okuhlaza ngokungaboni kahle, kuye ngokuqina kwayo. Ngenza ukulingisa ngobumpumputhe bemibala…”
