The Inner Story / Asli Maajra

NSW ke liye Sheffield Shield final mein pahunchne ki ummeedein tab khatm ho gayin jab unhe South Australia se buri tarah haar mili. Magar, 'picture abhi baaki hai mere dost'! Ab unke paas sirf ek hi chance hai apne jaate hue coach Greg Shipperd ko ek trophy ka tohfa dene ka. Yeh mauka hai Dean Jones Trophy ke liye hone waale One-Day Cup final ka, jahan unka saamna Tasmania se hoga Hobart mein, is Wednesday ko.

Januray ke end mein Shipperd ko NSW aur Sydney Sixers dono roles se hata diya gaya tha, lekin unhone ghutne nahi teke. Unhone domestic season ke end tak state side ke saath rehne ka faisla kiya. Tasmania ke khilaaf ek brilliant run chase ke baad NSW ne final mein apni jagah pakki ki thi. Wicketkeeper Josh Philippe ne ESPNcricinfo ko bataya, "Hum unhe high note par send off karna chahte hain. Isliye is one-day final mein pahunchna great hai. Woh decision se disappointed the, but he loves cricket, he loves the group and he wants to win titles so we're trying to do that as best as we can for him." Kya NSW apne coach ke liye yeh Gamechanger performance de payegi?

Philippe ke personal level par, unka मानना है ki unka career Shipperd ke influence ke bina wahan nahi hota jahan aaj hai. Yeh dono pahle Sixers mein saath kaam kar chuke hain, aur 2024 mein Philippe NSW ke liye bhi move ho gaye the. "I've had a very good relationship with Shippy for a very long time," unhone kaha. "I probably wouldn't be here without him. So it's certainly sad to see him go. I've been very close to him for a long time and particularly through the T20 side where I've spent pretty much all my career with him. He's been amazing for me."

Philippe ko ummeed hai ki Shipperd ke jaane ke baad bhi woh contact mein rahenge. Mazakiya andaaz mein unhone kaha, "I'm sure he'll keep ringing me as well."

Analysis & Numbers

• Josh Philippe ke liye yeh season kaafi interesting raha hai. NSW ko One-Day final tak pahunchane mein unka key role tha, khas kar Tasmania ke khilaaf us high octane chase ko set up karne ke liye unki 58 off 29 balls ki innings.
• September mein, unhone Australia A ke saath India ka tour kiya, jahan unhone ek century score ki, aur phir India ke khilaaf hi ODI aur T20I squads mein wapas aaye. India ki pitches par unka yeh performance unke talent ka proof hai!
• BBL ki shuruat unhone strongly ki, jisme Thunder ke khilaaf 96 off 70 balls ki innings shamil thi, magar tournament ke latter part mein woh thode fade ho gaye. Uske baad Pakistan mein T20I series ke liye unhone jaldi se trip kiya.
• Shield mein unka top score do rounds pahle Tasmania ke khilaaf banaya gaya 81 tha.
• Philippe ka kehna hai, "I still feel like I'm batting well. It's certainly a challenge sort of jumping in and out of the different teams and squads." Australia ke T20I side mein unke future opportunities middle order mein dekhe ja rahe hain. "In that keeper position, they've obviously got a lot of firepower at the top of the order. So I guess it's just continuing to develop those skills in my game as well."
• "I started my career in the middle, so it's not completely abnormal, but I haven't done much of it recently. I certainly pride myself on adaptability," unhone kaha. Yeh adaptability hi unhe top level par Gamechanger bana sakti hai.
