Jab cricket ki duniya ki sabse badi power yaani Team India kisi desh ke daure par hoti hai, toh wahan ka pura system hila deti hai. Australia ke domestic cricket mein bhi kuch aisa hi hua hai. Hobart mein hone wale One-Day Cup final ki dates badal di gayi hain kyunki Team India aur Australia ke beech hone wale high-voltage ODI matches ne pura scheduling bigad diya hai. Domestic cricket apni jagah hai, lekin jab Blue Brigade maidan par ho, toh rasta toh chodna hi padta hai.
The Inner Story: Scheduling clash ne badli Tasmania ki kismat
Asli maajra yeh hai ki Tasmania ne is season mein Dominance dikhate huye pehle hi final hosting rights secure kar liye thay. Yeh final pehle 28 February ko Ninja Stadium mein hone wala tha. Lekin Cricket Australia ke samne ek badi musibat khadi ho gayi. Hobart ko teen din ke andar Australia vs India ke do bade ODI matches host karne hain: ek 27 February ko aur dusra 1 March ko.
Yeh scheduling squeeze tab paida hua jab Melbourne ke Junction Oval mein floodlights ka kaam waqt par pura nahi ho saka, aur match Hobart shift kar diya gaya. Ab 27 Feb aur 1 March ke beech sirf ek din ka gap tha, jisme domestic final karwana impossible tha. Isliye Cricket Australia ne faisla kiya ki Dean Jones Trophy ke liye hone wala yeh bada muqabla ab 11 March ko khela jayega.
Analysis: Tasmania ka ek-tarfa raaj aur final ki race
Tasmania ke liye yeh season kisi dream run se kam nahi raha hai. Unhone apne pehle panch match lagatar jeete aur points table par top spot par kabza jama liya. Halanki unhe Western Australia ke khilaaf ek wicket se haar jhelini padi, lekin unka top par rehna ab tay hai. Ab asli jung second spot ke liye hai:
- New South Wales abhi second position par hai lekin unka rasta aasaan nahi hai.
- South Australia bhi race mein bani huyi hai aur sirf 4 points ka farak hai.
- Final round 21 February ko hoga jahan tay hoga ki Tasmania se kaun bhidne wala hai.
- Tasmania ke liye fayda yeh hai ki unke aane wale teen Sheffield Shield matches bhi Hobart mein hi hain, toh home conditions ka pura advantage unke paas rahega.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Seedhi baat yeh hai ki Cricket Australia jaanti hai ki asli paisa aur viewership India vs Australia series mein hai. Domestic matches important hain, lekin Team India ke saamne sab pheeka pad jata hai. Tasmania ne pure season mehnat ki hai aur unhe home final milna hi chahiye tha, bhale hi thoda late sahi. Yeh move dikhata hai ki world cricket mein BCCI aur Indian cricket ka dabdaba aisa hai ki boards ko apne pure calendar dobara likhne padte hain.
