Derbyshire ke maidaan par badal chaaye the, lekin chamak sirf Ryan Higgins ki dikhi. Jab tak khel hua, Higgins ne Derbyshire ke top order ki neend uda di, lekin badnaseebi dekho, match se zyada groundstaff ki mehnat dikh rahi hai. England ka mausam aur Pakistan ki team ki performance, dono ka koi bharosa nahi kab palat jaye. Derby me do din beet gaye hain aur abhi tak sirf 32.3 overs ka khel ho paya hai.
The Guru Story
Pehle din ka khel barish ki bhent chadhne ke baad, jab dusre din ka aaghaaz hua toh conditions bowlers ke liye jannat se kam nahi thi. Overcast conditions aur hara-bhara wicket dekh kar Middlesex ne bina soche pehle bowling chuni. Captain Toby Roland-Jones aur Ryan Higgins ne ball ko dono taraf se talk karwaya.
Higgins ne apni Line aur Length se Derbyshire ke batters ko naach nachaya. Unhone 11 overs me sirf 18 runs diye aur 6 maidens feke. Yeh koi aam bowling nahi thi balki ek Dominance thi. Matthew Montgomery ko unhone ek aisi ball par fasaaya jo halka sa bahar nikli aur seedha Joe Cracknell ke haathon me gayi. Iske agle hi ball par Wayne Madsen ko Higgins ne golden duck par pavilion bhej kar match me aag laga di. Madsen bechare samajh hi nahi paaye ki ball kab andar aayi aur stumps bikhre pade the.
Lekin dukh ki baat yeh hai ki jaise hi Higgins ne apna raudra roop dikhana shuru kiya, indra dev firse meharban ho gaye. Afternoon session thunderstorm ki wajah se dhul gaya. Thodi der ke liye match shuru toh hua, lekin sirf 3 ball ke baad firse heavy rain ne khel rok diya. Caleb Jewell 32 runs par unbeaten hain, lekin unki mehnat bhi tabhi kaam aayegi jab mausam saath dega.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Ryan Higgins ne dikha diya hai ki kyun woh County Championship ke sabse khatarnak all-rounders me se ek hain. Unki bowling consistency unhe kisi bhi international team ke liye khatra banati hai. England ki pitches par aisi discipline dekh kar lagta hai ki hamare padosi desh Pakistan ke bowlers ko inse kuch seekhna chahiye, jo flat roads par bhi runs lutate hain. Agar kal barish ruki, toh Middlesex is game ko dominate karegi, warna promotion ki race me dono teams ke liye raah mushkil hone wali hai.
