Cricket ke maidan par kabhi kabhi aise haadse hote hain jo saalo tak yaad rakhe jaate hain. Kia Oval me kuch aisa hi manzar dekhne ko mila jahan Warwickshire ki puri team aise bikhri jaise taash ke patte. Kate Coppack ne aisi lethal bowling ki, ki batters ko samajh hi nahi aaya ki pitch par rukna hai ya pavilion ki raah pakadni hai. Yeh match kam aur ek professional massacre zyada lag raha tha.
The Guru Story
Jab Surrey aur Warwickshire ke beech yeh Metro Bank One Day Cup ka "must-win" muqabla shuru hua, toh kisi ne sapne me bhi nahi socha tha ki Warwickshire ki halat itni patli ho jayegi. Pitch grassy thi, lekin niche se dry, aur yahi par Kate Coppack ne apna jaadu chalaya. Kate Coppack ne apne career-best statistics 5-22 darj karte hue visitors ki batting line-up ki reedh ki haddi tod di.
Silsila pehle hi over se shuru ho gaya tha jab Meg Austin bina khata khole chalti bani. Iske baad toh jaise wickets ki jhadi lag gayi. South African star Sune Luus ne apni spin se jaal buna aur Amu Surenkumar ko chalta kiya. Lekin asal showstopper toh Kate Coppack hi rahi. Unhone ek hi over me do wickets lekar Warwickshire ko ICU me pahuncha diya. Brooke Halliday aur Abi Freeborn unki deadly bowling ka shikaar bani.
Rahi sahi kasar Alice Monaghan ne puri kar di, jinhone 3 wickets lekar batting tail ko saaf kar diya. Puri team milkar sirf 55 runs bana saki. Jawaab me Surrey ne is target ko sirf 62 balls me bina kisi nuksaan ke haasil kar liya. Rachel King ne 41 runs ki behtareen innings kheli aur match ko six maar kar finish kiya, maano keh rahi ho: Tumse na ho payega!

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Yeh koi cricket match nahi, balki ek surgical strike thi. Warwickshire ki performance dekh kar aisa laga jaise woh match khelne nahi, sirf attendance lagane aaye the. 55 runs par all-out hona kisi bhi professional team ke liye sharmnaak hai. Kate Coppack ne dikha diya hai ki kyun woh 2027 ke liye pehle hi sign ki ja chuki hain: she is pure class. Surrey ne is dominance ke saath eliminator spot ki race ko aur bhi exciting bana diya hai. Warwickshire ko ab introspection ki sakht zaroorat hai, varna aise collapses career tabah kar dete hain.
