T20 Cricket ka asli maza tab hi aata hai jab match aakhri ball tak jaye aur saansein thami rahein. Cardiff ke maidan par Severnside derby ne wohi thrills diye jo ek fan expect karta hai. Gloucestershire ne ek haara hua match apni mutthi mein kar liya jab Matt Taylor ne aakhri ball par boundary jad kar Glamorgan ke sapno par paani pher diya. Yeh sirf ek jeet nahi thi balki tail-end resilience ka ek Masterclass tha.
The Inner Story: Asli Maajra Kya Tha?
Match ki shuruat se hi drama high voltage tha. Gloucestershire ne toss jeeta aur Glamorgan ko batting ke liye bulaya. Duan Jansen ne aate hi tabaahi machayi aur Glamorgan ka top order 45 runs par 5 wickets gawa kar collapse kar gaya. Aisa lag raha tha ki innings 100 tak bhi nahi pahunchegi. Lekin tab entry hui debutant Henry Hurle ki. Is young lad ne bina kisi dar ke 4 bade sixes lagaye aur Timm van der Gugten ke saath milkar score ko 157 tak pahunchaya.
Jab Gloucestershire chase karne utri toh unka haal aur bhi bura tha. Sirf 7 runs par 3 wickets gir chuke the. D'Arcy Short aur Ollie Price jaise bade naam zero par pavilion laut gaye. Tab Miles Hammond ne counter-attack kiya. Unhone 31 balls mein 56 runs ki tabad-tod innings kheli. Beach mein James Bracey ka dismissal kafi ajeeb tha: unhone football khelne ki koshish ki aur ball ko stumps se door kick karne ke chakkar mein bails hi gira di. Aise funny moments aksar pressure matches mein hi dikhte hain.
Aakhri over mein 15 runs ki zaroorat thi. Pressure mount ho raha tha aur stadium mein sannata tha. Kamran Dhariwal ne hosla dikhaya aur Matt Taylor ne aakhri ball par thick outside edge ke saath chauka maara. Yeh jeet dikhati hai ki T20 mein jab tak aakhri ball na phenki jaye tab tak kuch bhi kehna mushkil hai.

James Bracey ko cricket par dhyan dena chahiye na ki football par kyunki unka dismissal kisi school boy error se kam nahi tha.
