Cricket ke maidan par kabhi kabhi itihas likhne mein dashakon guzar jaate hain aur Glamorgan ne wahi kar dikhaya jiska intezaar unke fans 1991 se kar rahe the. Utilita Bowl ke maidan par jo drishya dikha wo kisi Dominance se kam nahi tha. Hampshire ko unhi ke ghar mein ghus kar innings aur 68 runs se hara kar Glamorgan ne bata diya ki Division One mein wo sirf attendance lagane nahi aaye hain balki yahan hukumat karne aaye hain.
The Inner Story: Hampshire ki batting hui collapse, Ben Brown ne ladi akeli jung
Match ka chautha din aur Glamorgan ko jeet ke liye chahiye the sirf 5 wickets. Hampshire ke captain Ben Brown ne ek chhor sambhal rakha tha aur unka chehra saaf bata raha tha ki wo match ke halat se kitne nakhush hain. Ben Brown ne 96 runs ki behtareen innings kheli jisme gussa bhi tha aur class bhi. Ek waqt par unhone bada shot khelkar apna century poora karne ki koshish ki lekin Timm van der Gugten ne unki middle stump ukhad kar Hampshire ki umeedon par paani pher diya.
Is jeet ki buniyad Zain ul Hassan aur Kiran Carlson ki 318 runs ki colossal partnership ne rakhi thi. Bowling mein Mason Crane aur Timm van der Gugten ne jo kehar dhaya uska jawab Hampshire ke paas nahi tha. Teesre din 15 wickets girne ke baad ye saaf ho gaya tha ki Glamorgan yahan se khali haath nahi jayega. 1991 ke baad pehli baar Hampshire ke khilaaf aisi badi jeet aur 2005 ke baad Division One mein pehli victory, ye Glamorgan ke liye kisi festival se kam nahi hai.
Analysis & Numbers: Statistical Masterclass

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Hampshire ki halat is waqt waisi hi hai jaisi kisi badi team ki hoti hai jab unka system collapse kar jata hai. Apne hi ghar Utilita Bowl par innings se haarna sharmnak hai. Glamorgan ne dikha diya ki agar aapka top order aur bowling unit sync mein ho to history badalne mein der nahi lagti. Ben Brown ki fighting spirit ko salaam hai lekin cricket ek team game hai aur Hampshire ki batting filhaal relegation ki taraf ishara kar rahi hai. Inke paas talent hai par strategy zero hai. Agar jald hi comeback nahi kiya to Hampshire ka suraj dhalna taye hai.
