Australian cricket ki 'Spirit of Cricket' wali patti ab dheere dheere utar rahi hai. Jab Usman Khawaja ne apni book mein claim kiya tha ki 2018 ke Sandpaper scandal ke baare mein sabko pata tha, toh Pat Cummins ne use '100% wrong' bola tha. Lekin ab ek naya gawah samne aaya hai jisne Pat Cummins ki baaton ki dhajjiyaan uda di hain. Chadd Sayers, jo us waqt squad ka hissa the, unhone saaf keh diya hai ki dressing room mein sabko pata tha ki kya ho raha hai.
The Guru Story
Cricket world mein hamesha se yeh charcha rahi hai ki kya sirf teen log Steve Smith, David Warner, aur Cameron Bancroft hi gunehgaar the? Chadd Sayers ne ab confirm kiya hai ki Usman Khawaja ki baatein sach thi. Sayers ne bataya ki Cape Town mein ek 60 se 90 minute ki lambi team meeting hui thi jismein collective responsibility lene par discussion hua tha. Yeh wahi meeting hai jiske baare mein Pat Cummins ne kaha tha ki unhe aisa kuch yaad nahi hai.
Sayers ne ek aur shocking khulasa kiya ki Port Elizabeth Test ke dauran, jab wo 12th man the, unhe hi sandpaper field se bahar le jaane ka kaam diya gaya tha. Unka manna hai ki jab ball ko reverse swing karane ke liye itna bada plan banta hai, toh poori team ko pata hota hai. Unhone kaha ki agar field par ek bhi galti ho jaye toh ball reverse swing hona band ho jati hai, isliye 'everyone knew' wali baat mein poori sacchai hai. Idhar David Warner ne bhi Cricket Australia par 'cover-up' ka ilzaam lagaya hai, kehna hai ki investigation hi dhang se nahi hui.
Analysis & Numbers
- 60 to 90 Minutes: Itni lambi team meeting hui thi Cape Town mein jise Pat Cummins bhool chuke hain.
- Port Elizabeth Connection: Sayers ne bataya ki sandpaper ka use ek nahi, balki do Test matches mein hua tha.
- The 12th Man Witness: Chadd Sayers ne khud field se sandpaper hataya tha, jo unhe as a drinks man pakdaya gaya tha.
- Investigation Flaws: David Warner ka claim hai ki bowlers (Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon) ke statements unhe kabhi nahi dikhaye gaye.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Australia ka 'Elite Honesty' wala gubbaara ab phat raha hai. Yeh baat hazam karna namumkin hai ki main bowlers ko pata hi nahi tha ki unki ball ke saath kya chedh-chaad ho rahi hai. Pat Cummins ki koshish hai ki wo apni aur apne bowlers ki image bacha lein, lekin jab team ke andar se hi log bolne lagein toh sacchai chhupana mushkil ho jata hai. Cricket Australia ne us waqt sirf teen logon ko bali ka bakra banaya taaki bade names ko bachaya ja sake. It is time for an Unfiltered investigation!
