Gabba ki spicy pitch aur Sheffield Shield ka ghamasaan: cricket fans, yahan drama kabhi khatam nahi hota. Ek waqt par aisa lag raha tha ki Victoria is match ko poori tarah se apni mutthi mein kar legi, lekin Cameron Gannon ne dikha diya ki kyun unhe domestic cricket ka ghunghaar bowler mana jata hai. Five-wicket haul lekar unhone Victoria ke batting lineup ki dhajjiya uda di.
The Guru Story
Match shuru hua Queensland ke toss jeetne ke saath. Unhone pehle bowling karne ka decision liya, umeed thi ki Gabba ki conditions ka fayda milega. Lekin Sam Harper aur Marcus Harris ke irade kuch aur hi the. In dono ne milkar 102 runs ki behtareen opening partnership ki. Sam Harper, jo haal hi mein India A vs Australia A series se laute hain, unhone wahi aggressive mode on rakha aur 63 runs ki ek fast-paced innings kheli.
Lekin jaise hi Sam Harper ko Cameron Gannon ne ek jhakas delivery par bowl kiya, Victoria ka collapse shuru ho gaya. Ek waqt par team ne sirf 57 runs ke andar 5 wickets gawa diye. Yahan se Queensland ne match mein wapsi ki. Campbell Kellaway ne ek taraf se khuta gaad diya aur 64 runs banakar innings ko sambhala. Unka saath diya Fergus O'Neill ne, jinhone 52 runs ki polished innings kheli. Din ka khel khatam hone tak Victoria ne 282 runs banaye 9 wickets ke nuksan par.
Analysis & Numbers
- Cameron Gannon Dominance: 5 wickets for 60 runs in a masterclass of swing and seam bowling.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Victoria ne match par apni pakad mazboot ki thi, lekin middle-order collapse ne unhe backfoot par dhakel diya. Cameron Gannon ne prove kar diya ki unka experience unhe kyu elite category mein rakhta hai. Sam Harper ki form Australia ke liye ek bada positive hai, especially after his performance against India A. Agar Victoria ko ye match bachana hai, to unhe kal subah jaldi wickets nikalne honge, warna Queensland ki batting lineup unpar bhari pad sakti hai.
