Chasing a 173-run goal in opposition to Australia within the semi-final of the Women’s T20 World Cup semi-final, India had been batting confidently at one stage, until skipper Harmanpreet Kaur’s run out occurred. The match turned dramatically when Harmanpreet was run out with simply 40 runs wanted off 32 balls. Kaur batted fantastically to make 52 off 34 balls. She hit a ball to deep midwicket and appeared set to finish a cushty two runs just for her bat to jab into the turf simply in need of the crease. Kaur threw her bat angrily as she walked off. That dismissal pegged again India finally.
Harmanpreet’s run out was the turning level of the sport and former Indian girls’s cricket group captain Diana Edulji felt the India skipper might have finished higher.
“She is thinking the bat got stuck but if you see the second run she was jogging. Why are you running in a relaxed manner when you know when your wicket is so important? You have to play professional cricket to win. Look at the dive Perry made to save those two runs. That is what professionalism is,” Edulji, who was a part of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee which ran the BCCI for 33 months, instructed PTI.
“They don’t give up till the end and we are not ready to fight at all. You can’t be falling at the last hurdle all the time.
“She was informal on the second run. She thought she would comfortably attain. We had been instructed within the Nineteen Seventies by Mr. Sunil Gavaskar that each ball it’s a must to be taught to floor your bat then solely you get into that behavior,” she said.
“Shafali’s shot choice is poor”
Though still a teenager, Shafali Verma is into her fourth year of international cricket. She was below par in the World Cup and did not have the best of times in the U-19 World Cup where she was captain.
“If Shafali Verma thinks she will be able to’t be dropped then she is mistaken. I want to see movies of her getting out, which ball has been ok to get her out? Her shot choice is so poor.
“Even in the U-19 World Cup, she did not perform with the bat though the team won. Let the other U-19 opener (Shweta Sehrawat) come in and take her place.
“And what was the necessity for Jemimah for play that shot? You simply acquired a 4 earlier than, learn the sport a little bit extra contemplating the sport state of affairs.
“Smriti and Harman too have been inconsistent that is why India have not won a major tournament. The talent is there but they have to be given rigourous training. We have enough firepower in the batting department.” Edulji feels a change in management won’t make a lot of a distinction.
“A captain is as good as the team. if Smriti comes in, same players are there. It won’t make much of a difference. Also it’s high time that musical chairs of the support staff is stopped. What is the bowling coach doing? The bowling has deteriorated. Spinners have completely gone out of form.
“With nice issue we beat Pakistan, West Indies. We ought to have gone all out in opposition to England to flee Australia within the semifinals. They struggled in opposition to Ireland too. Okay these had been drained (over used) wickets however everybody was taking part in on the identical floor,” added Edulji.
