The County Championship ki garma-garmi mein, ek naam phir se goonj utha hai, aur woh hai Kyle Abbott ka! Jab sab soch rahe the ki opening round ki haar ke baad Hampshire ka kya hoga, tab Abbott ne apna purana Dominance dikhaya aur Yorkshire ko unke ghar, Headingley mein hi guthne tekne par majboor kar diya. Yeh sirf ek jeet nahi, yeh Hampshire ke liye ek solid comeback ki Prophecy hai!
The Inner Story: Abbott Ki Bowling Ka Asli Maajra
Khel ke chauthe din Yorkshire, jinko jeet ke liye 426 runs chahiye the, woh sirf 211 par simat gaye. Is haar ka asli villain (aur Hampshire ka hero) the Kyle Abbott. Is Masterclass performance mein, Abbott ne poore match mein 10 wickets chatkaye. Pehli innings mein chaar aur doosri mein ek shandaar six-wicket haul, woh bhi sirf 21 runs dekar! Unki pace aur precision ne Yorkshire ke batters ko kheencha, har kadam par unhe pareshan kiya.
Din ki shuruaat mein Yorkshire 65 par 5 the, aur unki saari ummeedien draw par tiki hui thi. Lekin Abbott ne apne Unfiltered aggression ke saath Fin Bean ko LBW karke Yorkshire ki kamar tod di. Fir aaye young pacer Sonny Baker, jinhone apni short balls se Harry Duke ko ghabrahat mein pull shot khelne par majboor kiya aur catch karwaya. Baker ne Dom Bess ko bhi do nasty blows diye, ek sir par aur doosra thoda neeche, jisse Bess ka dard saaf dikh raha tha. Par George Hill (52) aur Dom Bess (49) ne thodi pratibha dikhai aur apni innings ko lamba kheencha, lekin woh bhi sirf haar ko thodi der ke liye taal sake. Liam Dawson ne unki partnership todi aur jald hi match ko Hampshire ke palle mein daal diya.
Yorkshire ki problems sirf bowling tak hi seemit nahi thi. Unke do key bowlers, Jhye Richardson aur Jack White, ek sickness bug ki wajah se match se bahar ho gaye the, jisse unki team aur kamzor pad gayi. Lekin sachai to yahi hai ki Hampshire ne ek zabardast wicket par bhi Gamechanger performance di hai.
