County Championship ke maidan mein asli drama shuru ho chuka hai boss! Gloucestershire ne Derby ke ground par aisi pakad banayi hai ki Derbyshire ki team follow-on bachane mein hi haanp gayi. Season ki pehli victory ki khushboo ab Gloucestershire ke dressing room tak pahunch rahi hai. Pehle batting mein 498 runs ka pahad khada kiya aur ab bowling mein Derbyshire ko ghutno par la diya hai.
The Inner Story / Asli Maajra
Khel ke teesre din Gloucestershire ke bowlers ne pura control apne haath mein rakha. Derbyshire ki pehli innings sirf 281 runs par simat gayi, jisme Wayne Madsen ke 65 runs ke alawa koi bhi batter bada score nahi kar paya. Graeme van Buuren ne apni spin se jaal buna aur 3 wickets chatkaye, wahi pace department mein Gabe Bell ne 3-84 ke figures ke saath top order ko dhwast kar diya.
Jab Derbyshire ko follow-on ke liye bulaya gaya, tab bhi kahani nahi badli. 217 runs se pichadne ke baad pressure itna zyaada tha ki Harry Came aur Caleb Jewell saste mein pavilion laut gaye. Even their main man Wayne Madsen, jo hamesha Gloucestershire ke khilaaf run banate hain, dusri innings mein fail ho gaye. Din ka khel khatam hone tak Derbyshire ka score 117 for 3 hai aur wo ab bhi 100 runs peeche hain. It is a total dominance by the visitors!
Ek interesting twist tab aaya jab Gloucestershire ko injury replacement leni padi. Kal ke hero Henry Brookes hamstring injury ki wajah se bahar ho gaye aur unki jagah Craig Miles ne li. Craig Miles ne aate hi apna kaam shuru kiya aur Caleb Jewell ka wicket lekar team ka palda aur bhari kar diya.
