Ngakho, I-England ihlanganiswe ngokuphelele i-Ashes ngomdlalo wokusindisa. Yeka nokujika kusuka 18 ezinyangeni ezedlule lapho bahlaziswa khona ngohlangothi lwase-Australia olujwayelekile. Ngomphumela omkhulu wokushintshana esidlule 3 Umlotha ucoca amakhanda akhulumayo agxile ezimweni ezidlala ingxenye enkulu. Ingabe baqinisile ukuba?
Njengoba ngokuvamile impendulo ngalokhu elula. Endabeni yeNgilandi ne-Australia, yebo, kunento enkulu kakhulu edlalwa yimibandela - iNgilandi ibingenathemba futhi ibingenamandla okulwa nokulethwa okugxilile okusheshayo okuvamile e-Australia, futhi abashayayo abazikhakhazisa kakhulu e-Australia baye baphelelwa yithemba nakakhulu lapho bebhekene nebhola elihambayo. Ngabe lokho kuphela okukhona kwikhilikithi noma kunjalo? Kuthiwani ngezinye izinhlangothi zokuhlola?
I-India ihlale ihle kakhulu ekhaya futhi ihlupheka kude nasekhaya, nemibandela lapho nayo idlala indima enkulu. Kodwa kuthiwani ngezinhlangano South Africa, Pakistan, New Zealand, i-Sri Lanka, kanye West Indies? All of these sides seem to be less influenced by conditions — with South Africa being very successful everywhere and the West Indies often struggling.
Inkinga inkulu kakhulu eNgilandi, Australia naseNdiya. Lawa futhi izinhlangothi ezinokubusa kwezezimali kakhulu kulo mdlalo, kanye nemincintiswano emikhulu yasekhaya. Ngabe kukhona yini ukuxhumana?
Bangaki abadlali balaba 3 izinhlangothi zidlale ikhilikithi efomethi ende ezimweni ezingezona ezazo? UChris Rogers udlale ikhilikithi yesifunda - futhi ngokungangabazeki uhole indlela kuma-runs e-Australia ngesilinganiso sama-over 54, kuphela 3 ohlangothini oluphethe ukumaphakathi ngaphezulu 40. Izibalo zibukeka zicace nakakhulu uma ukhipha i-wicket yase-Australia e-Lords, noRogers noWarner bekwazi ukulinganisa 35 and no-one else managing over 17!
Kunjalo nangomqondo ofanayo eNgilandi naseNdiya? Ingabe abadlali abaningi baseNdiya badlala ikhilikithi efomethi ende ngaphandle kweNdiya? Ngabe kukhona abadlali baseNgilandi abadlala ifomethi ende ngaphandle kweNgilandi? Impendulo elula ingucha!
Kuthiwani ngezinye izinhlangothi zokuhlola? Abadlali babo abaningi badlala ikhilikithi yabo phesheya.
Isifundo sicacile - e-Australia, I-England ne-India bonke badinga abadlali babo ukuchitha isikhathi esiningi bedlala phesheya (kunzima nokuthi idlale ikhilikithi engakanani kulezi zinsuku) noma badinga ukuthola enye indlela yokulungiselela kangcono abadlali izimo zangaphandle. I-England idinga izinhlangothi eziningi zesifunda (nezinsiza) ukulungiselela abadlali ijubane nokubhuza kwe-Australia kanye ne-spin yezwekazi lase-Afrika. Likewise Australia and India need more players to play in county cricket.
