Michael Hussey explains the reason behind Australia’s poor form on the India tour

Published

The former Australian batsman believes that their T20 cricket is responsible for Australia’s disastrous batting collapse in the 2nd Test against India.

Australia lost the 2nd Test between Australia and India in Delhi by 6 wickets and the 4-match series 2-0. The Australian batsmen struggled against the Indian spinners and suffered a massive batting collapse in the first session on Day 3 of the second Test.

Former Australian batsman Michael Hussey has also expressed his views on Australia’s disastrous second innings batting collapse and blamed T20 cricket for it. Michael Hussey said, “Yeah, a lot. I mean we’re seeing more of it in those short-format games. We see breakaways and different types of different shots that we never saw 10-15 years ago.”

“It’s when you pick. It’s a good shot to have in your arsenal, but it’s about playing it at the right time under the right conditions against the right type of bowlers. I don’t think they got it right”, Hussey added.

ඕස්ට්‍රේලියාව සහ ඉන්දියාව අතර දිල්ලිහිදී පැවැති 2 වැනි ටෙස්ට් තරගයෙන් කඩුලූ 6කින් පරාජයට පත්වූ ඕස්ට්‍රේලියාව තරග 4කින් සමන්විත තරගාවලිය 2-0ක් ලෙසින් පරාජයට පත්විය. ඕස්ට්‍රේලියානු පිතිකරුවන් ඉන්දීය දඟපන්දු යවන්නන්ට එරෙහිව දැඩි අරගලයක නිරත වූ අතර දෙවන ටෙස්ට් තරඟයේ 3 වන දිනයේ පළමු සැසියේදීම දැවැන්ත පිතිකරණ කඩා වැටීමකට මුහුණ දීමට සිදු විය.

Michael Hussey පැවසුවේ, “ඔව්, බොහෝ විට. මම අදහස් කරන්නේ එම කෙටි ආකෘති ක්‍රීඩා වලදී අපි එය වැඩිපුර දකින බවයි. අපි මීට වසර 10-15 කට පෙර කවදාවත් දැක නොතිබූ කඩවැටීම් සහ විවිධ වර්ගයේ විවිධ පහරවල් අපි දකිමු.”

“එය ඔබ තෝරන විටය. එය ඔබගේ අවි ගබඩාවේ තිබීම හොඳ පහරකි, නමුත් එය සුදුසු තත්වයන් යටතේ නියම වර්ගයේ පන්දු යවන්නන්ට එරෙහිව නියම වේලාවට එය ක්‍රීඩා කිරීමකි. ඔවුන් එය නිවැරදිව ලබා ගත් බව මම නොසිතමි”, හසී වැඩිදුරටත් පැවසීය.

இந்திய சுற்றுப்பயணத்தில் ஆஸ்திரேலிய அணியின் மோசமான பார்முக்கான காரணத்தை மைக்கேல் ஹஸ்ஸி விளக்கினார்

இந்தியாவுக்கு எதிரான 2வது டெஸ்டில் ஆஸ்திரேலியாவின் மோசமான பேட்டிங் சரிவுக்கு அவர்களின் டி20 கிரிக்கெட் தான் காரணம் என்று முன்னாள் ஆஸ்திரேலிய பேட்ஸ்மேன் நம்புகிறார்.

டெல்லியில் நடைபெற்ற ஆஸ்திரேலியா – இந்தியா இடையேயான 2-வது டெஸ்டில் ஆஸ்திரேலியா 6 விக்கெட் வித்தியாசத்தில் தோல்வியடைந்து 4 போட்டிகள் கொண்ட தொடரை 2-0 என இழந்தது. ஆஸ்திரேலிய பேட்ஸ்மேன்கள் இந்திய சுழற்பந்து வீச்சாளர்களுக்கு எதிராக போராடி இரண்டாவது டெஸ்டின் 3 வது நாளில் முதல் அமர்வில் பெரும் பேட்டிங் சரிவை சந்தித்தனர்.

ஆஸ்திரேலிய அணியின் முன்னாள் பேட்ஸ்மேன் மைக்கேல் ஹசியும், ஆஸ்திரேலியாவின் இரண்டாவது இன்னிங்ஸ் பேட்டிங் சரிவு குறித்து தனது கருத்தைத் தெரிவித்ததோடு, அதற்கு டி20 கிரிக்கெட்டுதான் காரணம் என்று குற்றம்சாட்டியுள்ளார். மைக்கேல் ஹஸ்ஸி கூறினார், “ஆமாம், நிறைய. அந்த குறுகிய வடிவ விளையாட்டுகளில் நாங்கள் அதை அதிகமாகப் பார்க்கிறோம். நாங்கள் 10-15 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு பார்த்திராத பிரிந்து செல்லும் மற்றும் பல்வேறு வகையான வித்தியாசமான காட்சிகளைப் பார்க்கிறோம்.”

“நீங்கள் எப்போது தேர்வு செய்கிறீர்கள். இது உங்கள் ஆயுதக் களஞ்சியத்தில் இருப்பது ஒரு நல்ல ஷாட், ஆனால் சரியான வகை பந்துவீச்சாளர்களுக்கு எதிராக சரியான சூழ்நிலையில் சரியான நேரத்தில் அதை விளையாடுவதுதான். அவர்கள் அதை சரியாகப் பெற்றதாக நான் நினைக்கவில்லை”, ஹஸ்ஸி மேலும் கூறினார்.

Sri Lanka Rugby has confirmed the appointment of former France international and seasoned rugby sevens coach Thierry Janeczek on a six-month contract to lead the national sevens team in preparation for the Asian Games in Aichi, Nagoya later this year.

Janeczek, who arrives in Colombo on March 20, will observe the two legs of the BogoLiv Union Pay International SLR Sevens Series before returning in April to formally begin his coaching programme. His initial contract runs for six months, with the possibility of extension based on the team’s performance at the Asian Games.

A former flanker with three caps for France, he made his mark in the sevens format, representing his country at the Rugby World Cup Sevens in 1993. He later coached the French national sevens team from 1996 to 2010, guiding them through more than 100 international tournaments and securing notable victories, including France’s first-ever international final win at the Paris Sevens in 2005.
His coaching résumé includes developing over 50 international players, training more than 100 certified coaches, and achieving Olympic success by leading France’s U18 team to gold at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China.

Inquiry Launched Over Bloomfield’s Controversial Declaration

Published

By

Sri Lanka Cricket has moved swiftly to launch an inquiry into Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic Club’s declaration during their Major Super Eight encounter against Moors Sports Club at Colts Grounds. The decision, which has been branded “unsporty” by critics, saw Bloomfield declare at 239 for 6 despite trailing on first innings, leaving Moors a modest chase of 147 runs. Moors completed the task comfortably, winning by four wickets in just 33 overs and reclaiming their place at the top of the table.

The declaration has raised serious questions about the spirit of competition, prompting SLC to summon captains, coaches, managers, and players from both sides for an official hearing this evening. At the heart of the probe lies a crucial issue: was Bloomfield’s move a bold tactical gamble or a breach of cricketing integrity?

With domestic cricket’s credibility now under the spotlight, the outcome of this inquiry could have significant consequences for the game in Sri Lanka, setting a precedent for how declarations and match strategies are judged in the future.
