Adelaide ke maidan par ek baar fir vahi purani kahani dohrai ja rahi hai. Australia ne toss jeeta aur bina kisi hichkichahat ke England ko pehle batting karne ka nyota de diya. Mitchell Marsh ki kismat ne saath diya aur cool conditions ka fayda uthane ke liye Kangaroos taiyaar hain. Wahi dusri taraf Harry Brook ki paltan ab bhi wahi purani "Positive Cricket" ki baatein kar rahi hai, lekin pitch par kya hota hai, ye dekhna dilchasp hoga.
The Guru Story
Sabse bada jhatka fans ke liye ye hai ki pichle match ke hero Mahli Beardman is match ka hissa nahi hain. Adelaide mein unhe "Managed" category mein rakha gaya hai kyunki unhe stress fracture se wapsi ke baad overload se bachana zaroori hai. Unki jagah Riley Meredith ki entry hui hai, jo apni raftar se English batsmen ki neend udane ke liye taiyaar hain. Australia ki ye depth dekh kar lagta hai ki unke paas har slot ke liye do khatarnak players maujood hain.
England ki team mein bhi badlav hua hai. Sonny Baker ko Jamie Overton ki jagah laya gaya hai. Captain Harry Brook ne saaf kaha hai ki pichle matches ki galtiyon se sikh kar unhe zyada positive batting karni hogi. Lekin sawal ye hai ki kya Jofra Archer aur Gus Atkinson ki jodi Australia ke top order ko rok payegi? Travis Head aur Mitchell Marsh ki jodi jab mood mein hoti hai, toh bowlers ke liye maidan chhota pad jata hai.
Analysis & Numbers
- Mahli Beardman ne pichle match mein 6 for 24 liye the, jo Australia ke liye ODI debut par best figures hain.
- Riley Meredith ki wapsi squad mein sudden hui hai aur unhe seedha Playing XI mein jagah mili hai.
- Liam Dawson ko ek baar fir Adil Rashid par tarjeeh di gayi hai, jo ECB ki nayi spin strategy ko darshata hai.
- Australia vs England ke is muqable mein Adelaide ki pitch par shuruati 10 overs gamechanger sabit ho sakte hain.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Australia ka workload management bilkul spot-on hai. Beardman ko rest dena unke career ke liye behtar hai, lekin England ke liye ye mauka hai. Agar Harry Brook ki team ne pehle 15 overs mein wicket nahi ganwaye, toh match phans sakta hai. Waise, Australia ki bowling lineup dekh kar lagta nahi ki England zyada der tik payegi. Ye dekh kar PCB ko bhi kuch sikhna chahiye ki bowlers ko kaise sambhal kar rakha jata hai, warna unke fast bowlers toh match se pehle hi hospital pahunch jate hain. Australia is clear favorites here.
