00:00 This is a good point. We were thinking the same thing the other day.
00:03 There was no need to play against New Zealand.
00:05 Rizwan was already running. He was 50 and was going out.
00:08 Babar was also 50.
00:09 I think Babar couldn't run in the Asia Cup, so he's looking for his form.
00:14 But there was no need to play with full strength.
00:17 -Najib. -Yes?
00:19 -Najib, sorry to interrupt. -Yes?
00:22 I think Babar shouldn't be saying that he didn't run in the Asia Cup.
00:28 Babar is only 1900.
00:30 Shane Williamson needed more than Babar.
00:33 Babar was running.
00:35 So, as a team, we have to think about who is better.
00:38 -If we think about it as a team, we'll be better. -Okay.
00:43 I see that...
00:45 -Yes, Mr. Shahid? -I see a clear difference in the strategy.
00:49 Australia has chosen 11 players.
00:51 The same 11 players will play their first match against India on 8th October.
00:57 It's amazing. We're going to 15-15.
01:00 I said that we'll play 15-15.
01:03 You've given Rizwan a rest. He's played 100. He's coming back.
01:07 But you need those 11 players who will play against the Netherlands.
01:13 You should rely on those 11 players. Give them a chance.
01:17 You can't defeat the Netherlands by fast bowling.
01:20 They've been playing fast bowling since they were kids.
01:23 They play fast bowling in the cricket ground.
01:26 If you want to defeat them, you'll have to play with both Osama Mir and Shadab Nawaz.
01:32 But I've seen that they're not spinning on the Hyderabad pitch.
01:38 Whether they spin or not, it's the Netherlands' weakness.
01:41 You'll defeat them by spin bowling.
01:44 Also, they've won five matches out of seven.
01:48 They've lost two matches in Sri Lanka in the World Cup qualifier.
01:51 They've won four matches by chasing.
01:54 It's dangerous to chase and win.
01:56 They've tied the score of 374 in one match.
02:02 It's a dangerous team.
02:03 Nasir Hussain predicted that Pakistan will lose to the Netherlands.
02:06 That's why Pakistan started slowly.
02:10 Then they got stronger.
02:11 If they lose to the Netherlands, they'll win the next big match.
02:14 We need four points in the first two matches which are relatively easy.
02:22 Kami is smiling.
02:24 He's thinking that if they want to lose to the Netherlands, they'll have to win.
02:28 Nasir Hussain predicted that Pakistan will lose to the Afghans.
02:35 It'll be fun.
02:37 The players in the world used to play against Pakistan.
02:41 We used to win.
02:43 Our team is not playing against a big team.
02:47 We're playing against the Netherlands and Afghanistan.
02:49 We've brought our standard down.
02:52 We've used a lot of blunders and selected players.
02:56 We've brought down the level of cricket because of our agenda.
02:59 That's why the players are playing against us.
03:04 We never thought that we'll be able to compete with our team.
03:09 We've never won the World Cup because it's our mistake.
03:13 Shoaib, Shahid sir said that the spinners are thinking that...
03:21 ...we're not getting any spin in Hyderabad.
03:24 Our spinners are struggling a lot.
03:26 I'll talk about this. I'm not able to understand one thing.
03:30 I've been seeing the messages from the media.
03:34 Are they joking?
03:36 Haris is a travelling reserve.
03:39 Mohammad Rizwan is the keeper of Pakistan.
03:41 There's no other keeper in the 15-man squad.
03:43 If Mohammad Rizwan gets sick or injured, who will keep him?
03:48 If you wanted Rizwan to be the keeper, you should've made him the keeper.
03:54 You should've made him the keeper.
03:57 I don't understand this.
03:59 A travelling reserve can only join a team when a team is permanent.
04:04 I don't understand this.
04:06 The second strategy that Pakistan has taken is...
04:09 ...to announce Shadab Khan as the captain.
04:12 Babar will bat.
04:14 Babar will decide the batting order.
04:17 Shadab will be the bowling captain.
04:19 This is a new thing that Pakistan is going to introduce.
04:22 As far as spinners are concerned...
04:23 ...Shadab was not allowed to bowl in the previous warm-up match.
04:29 Nawaz and Usama bowled.
04:30 We saw their condition.
04:32 Why wasn't Shadab allowed to bowl in that match?
04:37 It was a practice match.
04:39 He was bowling 5-6 in the back.
04:42 You should've checked him.
04:44 You didn't check him then.
04:45 I don't know what you'll do today.
04:47 You'll have to make your strategy against the Netherlands.
04:50 Small teams usually win by bowling second.
04:53 They play with passion.
04:54 Even if they score 200 runs, they make the biggest teams lose.
04:59 They lost both the matches by chasing Sri Lanka.
05:04 They lost because they didn't bat well.
05:07 You should bat first, score runs on the board...
05:10 ...and then bowl well and defeat the Netherlands.
05:12 You'll have to select 11 best players...
05:15 ...according to the conditions and the opponent.
05:18 A small mistake will cost you.
05:19 You don't have many options.
05:21 I'll add a small thing.
05:23 The World Cup is being held in 2019.
05:25 Western D's was considered a weak team.
05:28 But they defeated you.
05:29 That match cost you till the end.
05:31 You were in a dead end.
05:33 I think...
05:34 ...Nasir Hussain predicted the match.
05:37 The Netherlands must've put you in a tough spot in the first two matches.
05:41 You were in a good shape.
