Amid Engrossing Test Cricket thoob ntiaj teb, Tsib-hnub hom ntawv yav tom ntej tseem tsis paub meej

Virat Kohli, Is Nrias teb tus thawj coj tawm tsam, ua rau muaj kev ntxhov siab rov qab los hauv kev txiav txim siab thib peb tawm tsam South Africa hauv Cape Town. Nws tsis yog nws qhov zoo tshaj plaws innings thiab nws poob luv luv ntawm kev xaus nws lub xyoo pua puzzling drought, uas tam sim no tau zuam tshaj ob xyoos.

Tab sis tsis txhob yuam kev nws tsis tau ua si ntau gutsier innings nrog Is Nrias teb txoj kev nrhiav kom kov yeej lawv qhov kawg frontier ntawm kab. Muaj qhov nruab nrab measly 28 - zoo poob rau nws qhov kev xeem ua haujlwm ntawm 50 - txij li nws lub tuj kawg, qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws Kohli tau qhab nia 79 tawm ntawm 201 pob rau ib leeg-tes cawm Is Nrias teb, uas tsuas yog 223 tawm tsam kev tawm tsam South African nyuaj hauv bowler-phooj ywg tej yam kev mob.

Tshem rov qab los ntawm qhov ua tau zoo uas tau ua rau nws zoo li qhov muag-catch batter nyob rau hauv kaum xyoo dhau los - thiab arguably qhov loj tshaj puas tau txwv-overs batter - Kohli conjured ib tug tiv thaiv masterclass nyob rau hauv dab tsi daim duab raws li ib tug txhais match rau nws captaincy legacy.

32-xyoo-laus rov qab los tom qab uas ploj lawm Is Nrias teb qhov kev sim thib ob nrog kev sib tw rov qab thiab tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nyiam kev sib ntaus sib tua nrog South Africa tus thawj coj Kagiso Rabada, uas thaum kawg tau luag kawg los xaus Kohli's 273-feeb heroics.

Ntiaj Teb No.1 Is Nrias teb muaj lub sijhawm los rhuav tshem lawv txoj kev foom thiab thaum kawg yeej hauv South Africa uas tau kov yeej cov kab lis kev cai nyuaj ntawm Australia thiab Askiv nyob rau lub sijhawm tsis ntev los no.

Kev sib ntaus sib tua pom pom Is Nrias teb ua ib qho kev ua yeeb yam hauv qhov qhib ua ntej cov tswv ntaus rov qab coj los ntawm hardnosed skipper Dean Elgar uas yog tus yam ntxwv ntawm steely los txhawb nqa kev tawm tsam South Africa rov qab mus rau lawv lub hnub ci ntsa iab.

Nws yog ib qho kev sib tw, kev sib ntaus sib tua thoob plaws thiab, hmoov tsis, ua si tom qab kaw qhov rooj vim qhov tshwm sim ntawm omicron variant. Qhov kev sib tw uas muaj kev sib tw no kuj tau muaj qhov tsis zoo ntawm kev mus rau lub taub hau nrog Ashes - tsuas yog kab civliv uas muaj peev xwm los cuam tshuam lub zog ntawm Is Nrias teb.

Cricket qhov kev sib tw feem ntau thiab kev hwm, Ashes tau rov qab ua dua thiab tawm mus nrog Australia romping mus rau ib qho kev yeej tom qab peb txoj kev sib tw ncaj nraim tawm tsam ib tus neeg siab mos siab muag uas feem ntau tau ua tsis tiav hauv xyoo kaum xyoo.

Pom zoo rau Ashes twb tau txiav txim siab lawm, tab sis ib yam dab tsi uas tsis tau xav txog tau tshwm sim hauv kev sim thib plaub hauv Sydney. Beleaguered England tshwm sim rau kev txaj muag ntau dua thaum lawv poob mus rau 4 rau 36 hauv teb rau Australia thawj qhov kev sib tw ntawm 8 rau 416 ua ntej lub xyoo pua ci ntsa iab - lawv thawj ton ntawm koob - rau Jonny Bairstow tau ua rau qee qhov kev lag luam British bulldog sib ntaus.

England tseem tsis tau kawm tab sis tswj kom tsis txhob muaj cov tshuaj ntxuav tes dawb nrog kev tiv thaiv kev sib ntaus sib tua thaum hnub kawg-jangling los kos qhov kev sib tw. Nws yog qhov ua tau zoo tshaj plaws Ashes Test Down Under txij li Australia lub koob npe nrov rov qab los yeej hauv Adelaide xyoo 2006.

Nws showcased tias thaum Test kab civliv yog ib qho nyuaj sib ntaus sib tua, tsib-hnub hom tseem unparalleled txawm nyob rau hauv ib tug muaj hnub nyoog ntawm ceev ceev qhov twg T20 cricket - ua si tshaj li peb teev - tau coj cov kev ua si los ntawm cua daj cua dub.

Thiab qhov zoo tshaj plaws ntawm lub sijhawm ci ntsa iab ntawm Kev Xeem Cricket tej zaum yuav yog Bangladesh lub unforgettable thawj Test yeej ntawm txoj kev tawm tsam World Test Championship yeej New Zealand. Nws yog tej zaum Test kab civliv qhov loj tshaj puas tau chim siab thiab ib tug zoo kawg nkaus feat rau ib tug kab civliv lub teb chaws ntev li shunned los ntawm powers Australia thiab England.

Ua ntej ntawm 2023-31 Txoj Haujlwm Kev Kawm Yav Tom Ntej, uas tau tsim los ua tiav tom qab lub xyoo no, nws tseem yog qhov tseem ceeb rau lub zog hauv Is Nrias teb, Australia thiab Askiv kom tsis txhob ua si ntawm lawv tus kheej thiab pib muab sijhawm rau lwm lub tebchaws.

Txij li thaum tuav Bangladesh thiab Zimbabwe rau ob qhov Kev Xeem txhua xyoo 2003, Australia tau tuav Askiv thiab Is Nrias teb rau 24 Kev Xeem txij li thaum. Obviously lawv, nrog rau lawv cov kev sib koom tes, muaj billion-duas tshaj tawm tshaj tawm kev pom zoo kom txaus siab tab sis lub neej yav tom ntej ntawm Test kab civliv tseem ceeb thiab vam khom rau cov teb chaws me me - uas muaj cov lus tshaj tawm tsis zoo hauv kev sib piv thiab tseem vam khom rau ICC cov nyiaj tau los tseem skewed rau Is Nrias teb. - muaj peev xwm ua si sab saum toj pab pawg hauv tsev thiab sab nraud.

Muaj qhov kev xav zoo tshaj plaws uas Test kab civliv yog inevitably destined kom raug txo mus rau plaub lossis tsib lub tebchaws. "Nws twb mus rau txoj kev ntawd," ib tug tswv cuab ntawm ICC ib zaug hais rau kuv. "ICC yuav tsum txiav txim siab seb hom twg los tuav txoj kev ua kis las thiab nws lub neej yav tom ntej - Kev Xeem lossis T20?"

Raws li peb tau pom nyob rau lub lim tiam epic ntawm Kev Sib Tw Cricket, hom ntawv tseem tsis tau muaj zog thaum nws tseem muaj sia nyob thiab nws lub sijhawm ncua ntev nce qhov ua yeeb yam zoo li tsis muaj lwm yam kev ua si.

Nws tsuas yog txaj muag Test kab civliv lub neej yav tom ntej tseem tsis paub meej.
