‘We make it hard for ourselves sometimes’ – Pat Cummins on Australia’s crushing defeat in 2nd Test vs South Africa

South Africa ne Australia ko dhool chatai! Pat Cummins ki team ki batting ne kiya pareshan

Cricket fans ke liye ek bahut bada shock news hai. South Africa ne Australia ko unke hi ghar mein karari haar ka samna karvaya hai. Gqeberha mein khele gaye dusre Test match mein Proteas ne Australia ko innings aur 31 runs se badi defeat di. Is haar ke baad Australia ka series jeetne ka sapna thoda mushkil lag raha hai, kyunki halaki unhone Durban mein pehla Test 214 runs se jeeta tha aur series mein 1-0 ki lead banayi thi, par Gqeberha ke maidan par sab kuch palat gaya. Australia ke liye yeh ek bahut hi embarrassing moment hai kyunki 2023 ke baad yeh unki pehli innings defeat hai. Itna hi nahi, 1988 ke baad yeh pehli baar hai jab Australia ko itni jaldi follow-on ke liye force kiya gaya hai.

Gqeberha mein South Africa ka dominance aur Bavuma ka maidan

South Africa ke bowlers aur batsmen dono ne Australia ko puri tarah se dominate kiya. South Africa ne apni pehli innings mein 425 runs for 9 wickets banakar ek bahut bada total khada kiya. Is innings ki sabse badi hero rahe Temba Bavuma, jinhone 179 runs ki ek masterclass innings kheli. Unke saath Marco Jansen ne bhi 85 runs ka solid contribution diya, jisne Australia ke bowlers ki halat kharab kar di.

Jab Australia ki batting karne ki baari aayi, toh unka collapse dekh kar sab dang reh gaye. Pitch thodi bouncy aur fast thi, jo South Africa ke bowlers ko bahut madad kar rahi thi. Australia ki poori team sirf 99 runs par dher ho gayi. Is massive deficit ke baad unhe follow-on khelna pada. Halaki, second innings mein Australia ne thodi recovery ki aur 295 runs banaye, lekin yeh itna kaafi nahi tha ki South Africa ko dobara batting ke liye bulaya ja sake.

Australian players ka flop hona aur batting ki tension

Australia ke liye sabse badi dikkat unki batting rahi. Pat Cummins, jo captain bhi hain aur ek key bowler bhi, woh is match mein bilkul fail rahe. Unhone dono innings milakar sirf 11 runs banaye aur ek bhi wicket nahi le paaye. Captain ke liye yeh ek bada sawal hai ki team ko kaise lead kiya jaye.

Dushre taraf, Marnus Labuschagne ke liye bhi yeh match kisi nightmare se kam nahi tha. Woh ek bahut hi experienced player hain, par unka century ka sukha July 2023 se nahi toota hai. Unhone ek risky aerial shot khela jo unhe bahut mehenga pada. Nic Maddinson, jo lagbhag 10 saal ke lambe intezaar ke baad Test cricket mein wapas aaye the, unka comeback bilkul bhi successful nahi raha. Unhone dono innings mein sirf 0 aur 8 runs banaye. Beau Webster ne bhi sirf 13 aur 8 runs banakar apni batting se koi impact nahi chhoda. Sirf ek hi player tha jisne himmat dikhayi, aur woh the Travis Head. Unhone second innings mein 121 runs ki ek bahut hi shaandaar aur mehnat wali innings kheli, par unki is koshish ka koi fayda nahi hua kyunki baaki top order collapse ho chuka tha.

Pat Cummins ka reaction aur Cape Town ke liye taiyari

Match ke baad Pat Cummins ne apni team ki galtiyon ko swikaar kiya. Unhone kaha ki Australia ne khud hi apna kaam mushkil bana diya hai. Cummins ne bataya ki team ko ab apne batting order aur selection par phir se sochna hoga. Unhone kaha ki unke paas Cape Town mein hone wale teesre Test ke liye teen-chaar din hain taaki woh apni mistakes ko sudhaar sakein.

Ab sabki nazrein Newlands, Cape Town mein hone wale final Test par hain. Australia ke paas selection ke kaafi options hain. Captain ne hint diya hai ki Cameron Green aur Josh Inglis ki wapsi ho sakti hai. Matthew Renshaw ne pehle Test mein accha kiya tha, lekin kya woh is pressure ko jhel payenge? Yeh dekhna dilchasp hoga. Australia ko yeh series barabar karne ke liye har haal mein jeetna hoga, warna South Africa series apne naam kar legi.
