Aisa Din Toh Kabhi Dekha Na Hoga! Kurtis Patterson Ka Masterclass, Jab New South Wales Ne Baarish Ko Maat De Kar Jeeta Dean Jones Trophy!
Hobart ki baarish, ek ka high-voltage drama, aur ek team jo ko bina ek bhi ball khele uthaane wali thi. Cricket ke maidaan par aise moments kam hi dekhne ko milte hain, jahan fate ka फैसला pitch par nahi, aasmaan se girte boondon par depend kare! Par jab ki aankhon ke saamne aisa action ho, toh hum bhi bina kisi sharam ke keh sakte hain, kya din tha!
The Inner Story / Asli Maajra
Khel shuru hone se pehle hi, Tasmania ki kismat chamakne wali thi.
One-Day Cup final
, jo Wednesday ko baarish ki vajah se rukne ke aakhri kuch minutes mein tha, agar cancel ho jaata toh table topper hone ke naate
Tasmania
ko automatic winner declare kar diya jaata. Socho, sirf 12 minutes ka wait aur trophy unki thi! Lekin destiny ka plan kuch aur hi tha. Char ghante se zyada ke delay ke baad, finally
New South Wales
ne toss jeeta aur 6:15 PM par game shuru hua. Aur jaise hi game shuru hua, maahol hi badal gaya!
Ekdum se,
Tasmania
ki batting line-up taash ke patton ki tarah bikhargayi, aur score board par 25 run par 5 wickets ka haal dikhne laga. Yeh tha
Ben Dwarshuis
aur
Sean Abbott
ka
Dominance
! New ball se unhone conditions ka pura fayda uthaya, aur wickets ki jhaadi laga di. Unke liye, yeh ek perfect pitch thi jahan ball swing kar rahi thi aur batsman pareshan ho rahe the. Aur toh aur,
Tasmania
ke captain
Jordan Silk
ka run out hona, unki musibaton ko aur bhi bada gaya. Maano, unki sari umeedon par paani phir gaya ho!
Lekin, cricket hai bhai! Jab
New South Wales
ko 119 run ka target mila, toh unki bhi saansein atakne lagi. Ek point par, 73 run par 5 wickets gawa kar,
NSW
bhi pressure mein dikhi. Par tab, captain cool
Kurtis Patterson
ne apni zimmedari sambhali. Unki 52 run ki unbeaten innings, is challenging pitch par ek
Masterclass
thi, jahan har batsman struggle kar raha tha. Unhone kaha, "I don't think it's quite sunk in yet to be honest. We were about 10 minutes more rain away from not even getting on the field. It's
wild
how the day panned out." Unhone dressing room ke andar ke माहौल ka bhi zikr kiya, "The people who were allowed a phone in there were looking at that radar like you wouldn't believe and trying to move the clouds with their hands. You get lucky sometimes."
Team ke liye
Abbott
aur
Dwarshuis
, jo dono
T20 World Cup
ka hissa the, gamechangers saabit hue. Unhone milkar 6 wickets liye aur
Dwarshuis
ne run chase mein ek pressure-easing six bhi jada.
Patterson
ne unki tareef karte hue kaha, "They've got so much finals experience in white-ball cricket with both
NSW
and the
Sixers
. They're guys I can give the first over to and they're guys I can give the 50th and everything in between and use them as my strike weapons, too. All three phases, they tick all those boxes." Unhone unke fielding aur batting contributions ko bhi highlight kiya, jo team ke balance ke liye bahut important the.
Individual level par,
Patterson
ka yeh performance unke liye bahut khas hai. Is tournament mein unhone
565 runs at 113.00 including three centuries
banaye. Pichhle mahine
Sheffield Shield
mein unka career-best 173 not out bhi aaya tha. Is sab se,
Australia
ke liye dobara khelne ki baatein tez ho gayi hain. Unhone apni इच्छा zaahir karte hue kaha, "I've absolutely got a desire to get back and play cricket for
Australia
and probably for different reasons to be honest. When I was a kid, you do it because it's what every kid wants and you want that baggy green. Now, that environment looks like such a fun place to play cricket. It looks like a place where I think I'd learn a lot and get better."
Dusri taraf,
Tasmania
ke captain
Jordan Silk
ke liye emotions alag the. Unki team ne shuru mein 5 games jeet kar final host karne ka mauka haasil kiya tha, lekin end mein do losses ne unki momentum tod di. "It's pretty raw," unhone kaha. "It's really disappointing. We had such a good campaign. It felt like a really good opportunity gone by. It probably hurts more when you're out of the [
Sheffield
]
Shield
race as well."
