Perth mein 131 par dher hone ke baad jab koi team 48 ghante ke andar 350 plus score khada karti hai, toh samajh lijiye ki unhone apni ego par baat le li hai. Adelaide Oval mein England ne wahi kiya jo unke coach Brendon McCullum chahte the: scrap deeper. Aur is jung ke sabse bade hero rahe Tom Banton, jinhone apne career ki best innings khel kar Australia ke ghamand ko mitti mein mila diya.
The Guru Story: Banton Ka Masterclass Aur Australia Ki Durdasha
Jab Jacob Bethell injured huye the, tab England ke liye opening slot ek bada sawal tha. Lekin Tom Banton ne us sawal ka jawab apne balle se diya hai. Adelaide ki choti square boundaries ka fayda uthate huye Banton ne sirf 86 balls mein apni century poori ki. Unki 121 runs ki paari ne yeh saabit kar diya ki woh sirf T20 ke bashers nahi hain, balki ODI cricket mein bhi lambi race ke ghode hain. Joe Root ke saath unki 137 runs ki partnership ne base set kiya, aur phir Jordan Cox aur Will Jacks ne aakhri overs mein aisi tabaahi machayi ki Australia ke bowlers pani maangne lage.
England ne total 355 runs banaye, jo Australia ki dharti par unka sabse bada ODI total hai. Australia ki fielding ki halat toh aisi thi ki unhone teen aasaan catches chhode. Lag raha tha jaise Australia ke players field par fielding nahi, balki Morning Walk kar rahe hain. Jawab mein Mitchell Marsh ki sena 135 runs se match haar gayi. Wahi Pakistan ki team ko dekhiye, jo apni tri-series mein Sri Lanka ke aage ghootne tek chuki thi aur final tak nahi pahunch payi. England ne dikhaya hai ki elite level par comeback kaise kiya jata hai.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Seedhi baat yeh hai ki Tom Banton ne apni jagah pakki kar li hai. Jacob Bethell jab wapas aayenge, toh unhe bench par baithne ke liye taiyaar rehna chahiye kyunki Banton is currently in "Beast Mode." England ki yeh jeet un sabhi teams ke liye warning hai jo agle saal South Africa mein hone wale 50-over World Cup ki taiyari kar rahi hain. Australia ko unhi ke ghar mein harana koi bacchon ka khel nahi hai, aur England ne yeh kaam bada hi shiddat se kiya hai. Rahi baat Pakistan ki, toh unhe cricket seekhne ke liye shayad ab England se tuition lena padega kyunki unka consistency se koi lena-dena nahi hai. Hobart mein hone wala decider ab ek real blockbuster hoga.
