00:00:00 Hello and welcome to the pavilion.
00:00:05 I am Fakhr-e-Anam.
00:00:06 You are watching A-Sports, CENTSPORTS and the ARY Zapp app in our continued coverage
00:00:09 of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023.
00:00:13 Unfortunately, the news out of Bengaluru, not too good for the Pakistani fans as Pakistan
00:00:19 has lost the game to Australia.
00:00:21 Australia there, what an explosive performance.
00:00:23 We are going to talk about that.
00:00:25 Right now joining me in the pavilion, I have got four former Pakistani captains, four outstanding
00:00:30 minds in the game of cricket, four gentlemen who have served the game of cricket really
00:00:35 well and Pakistan really well.
00:00:37 First up, I have got the young dynamic, Shoaib Manek.
00:00:39 Shoaib, welcome.
00:00:40 Thank you.
00:00:41 Good evening and Salam-Alaikum everyone.
00:00:44 Mr. Dependable, the most successful test captain in Pakistan's test cricket history,
00:00:48 Miss Paul Haque.
00:00:49 Miss Paul, welcome.
00:00:50 Yes, Salam-Alaikum.
00:00:51 Thank you.
00:00:52 With me, Mr. Man of Crisis, the silver fox of the pavilion, I have got Mohin Khan.
00:00:58 Mohin, welcome.
00:00:59 Thank you.
00:01:00 Thank you.
00:01:01 Salam-Alaikum everyone.
00:01:02 And with that, the undisputed Sultan of swing, the king of all rounders, I have got cricket
00:01:06 royalty with us in the pavilion, Wasim Akram.
00:01:09 Wasim, welcome.
00:01:10 Salam-Alaikum, good evening.
00:01:11 Thank you, Fakhar.
00:01:12 A bit of a somber mood here in the pavilion because we were hoping that Pakistan would
00:01:17 be able to perform well but unfortunately, it didn't happen.
00:01:22 Our dreams were left unfulfilled.
00:01:23 Let's take a look at this match summary so that we can get an idea of how much our dreams
00:01:27 were left unfulfilled.
00:01:28 The situation was that Pakistan won the toss and decided to bowl first.
00:01:32 Warner's first catch was dropped on 9 runs.
00:01:35 The second catch was also dropped on about 100 runs and then this scorecard was displayed
00:01:39 in front of us.
00:01:40 Australia batted first and scored 367 for the loss of 9 wickets.
00:01:43 We thought that Pakistan's bowlers had made a good comeback.
00:01:47 Shaheen Shah Afridi there actually looking like a real Shaheen, representing Pakistan
00:01:51 with pride.
00:01:52 5 for 54 in his 10 overs, the most successful bowler.
00:01:55 Haris Rauf there, very expensive, scored 83 runs in 10 overs and scored 3 wickets.
00:02:00 And Osama, well, there's a lot to be spoken about him and his performance.
00:02:04 We will talk about that.
00:02:06 In response, Pakistan only scored 305 runs and 45 for 4 in 3 overs.
00:02:10 Their batting was over.
00:02:13 At one point, it seemed that Pakistan would chase this match in a great way.
00:02:18 But unfortunately, no player could prove to be a match finisher today.
00:02:24 Zampa scored 4 wickets against Pakistan and then Stoinis and Cummins also coming to the
00:02:28 party.
00:02:29 Australia winning this by 62 runs.
00:02:32 Let's take a look at the points table.
00:02:36 And here is your points table.
00:02:38 New Zealand sitting up top with India.
00:02:41 4 games, both teams, 4 wins, same points.
00:02:44 But New Zealand has a better run rate.
00:02:46 India catching up really fast.
00:02:48 South Africa sitting pretty on number 3 with 3 games, 2 wins and a very good net run rate.
00:02:54 Australia climbing up to number 4 and pushing Pakistan down to number 5.
00:02:59 And the rest of the table remains the same.
00:03:01 Remember that the top 4 teams will play the semifinals.
00:03:05 And if you look at the points table, Pakistan winning their next matches,
00:03:10 where they stand on points, along with that, the net run rate will be very important.
00:03:15 And that's how your points table is looking right now.
00:03:18 Alright, friends, let's start the discussion.
00:03:21 Wasim, let me start off with you.
00:03:23 Disappointed?
00:03:24 Yeah, absolutely.
00:03:25 Like every other Pakistani cricket lover, very disappointed.
00:03:28 We thought once Pakistan and the Australians scored a good 367,
00:03:37 we were hopeful that the ground was small.
00:03:40 I told you that the last 3 matches were 69 sixes.
00:03:44 The ground is small, the pitch is good.
00:03:47 And Pakistan were cruising at one stage.
00:03:49 I mean, they started off well, perfect opening stand.
00:03:53 It was a 132-meter opening stand.
00:03:56 Both the openers got 50, they played sensible cricket.
00:03:59 They didn't take a risk, but they kept scoring 7 and over, 8 and over.
00:04:03 So, you know, that was a good start.
00:04:05 And then, two wickets went in, and then everything was all over the shop.
00:04:09 Lots to discuss, I suppose.
00:04:11 We'll do it one by one, gradually, in this show.
00:04:13 But overall, when Babar Azam got Rizwan, he tried a little.
00:04:18 Iftikhar came and tried a little.
00:04:20 Saud Shakeel tried, but the finisher, like you said, Fakhar, couldn't finish the game.
00:04:25 Someone had to go to the end, someone had to play straight.
00:04:29 Iftikhar is so experienced, he was such a dangerous player.
00:04:32 He was looking good, he was on 26 of 20, with 3 sixes.
00:04:36 Now you know that Zampa is bowling.
00:04:38 Misbah, Shoaib Malik were sitting here all day.
00:04:41 They were shouting, "He has to play on the front foot.
00:04:44 He'll speed you up and he'll skit the ball because it's getting wet."
00:04:48 You played him on the back foot, and the leg was full.
00:04:51 Once Iftikhar was gone, I think there was no hope for me.
00:04:55 Mohin thought he'd win till the end, I don't know why.
00:04:59 But I had no hope.
00:05:01 Mohin had a match in his mind.
00:05:03 You're making me look bad.
00:05:05 You said it a hundred times.
00:05:07 Misbah, let me bring this to you.
00:05:09 What happened to the dew, which we were waiting for?
00:05:12 It would be easy to play if we got the dew.
00:05:14 Did we get the dew?
00:05:16 We were on the match till the dew arrived.
00:05:21 As soon as the dew arrived, we slipped.
00:05:24 Why? What's the reason?
00:05:26 Explain to our audience, explain this point clearly.
00:05:30 Technically, what's the reason why we collapsed after the dew?
00:05:34 Although everyone says that batting is easy on dew.
00:05:37 Please explain this to us.
00:05:39 I don't think the dew made a difference.
00:05:42 The difference is that when the scoreboard is under pressure,
00:05:46 and the required run rate goes up, you panic.
00:05:52 We panicked, basically.
00:05:54 Wrong shot selection.
00:05:56 We always say, 6 and over, 6 and a half, okay fine.
00:06:02 When we go for 8 and over,
00:06:04 we don't have the belief that our team has.
00:06:09 Clearly, the difference was that they hit 19 sixes.
00:06:14 I think they had 19 sixes, whereas we hit 6 sixes.
00:06:19 That's a big difference in a game.
00:06:21 You can see the difference in runs.
00:06:24 The short selection is that you're trying to hit the ball in the face,
00:06:29 and the short of length ball, and we have to hit the four.
00:06:32 And two of our main players got out.
00:06:34 Imam and Babar got out.
00:06:36 You saw the Australian, Warner got the same ball,
00:06:41 either in front or behind.
00:06:43 They didn't hit the four, they hit the six.
00:06:45 They knew the boundary was small,
00:06:47 they went for the full-blooded shot,
00:06:49 and hit the six.
00:06:50 It fell in front or behind.
00:06:52 We've hit a lot of spinner balls, even in front.
00:06:55 We're playing it like it's a big ground.
00:06:58 Knowing the ground, and then basically taking initiative.
00:07:02 If you're hitting 60-62, why not just take that risk?
00:07:08 At one point, when you're under pressure,
00:07:11 then you have to do so much at the back end.
00:07:15 Wickets fall at the same time,
00:07:17 it's 8 and over, the wicket has fallen,
00:07:19 the batsman has taken some time,
00:07:21 and suddenly it goes to 10.
00:07:23 I think that was the difference.
00:07:25 The other thing I was saying earlier,
00:07:27 the way we've bowled,
00:07:30 if we'd planned it,
00:07:32 if we'd done it the right way,
00:07:34 I think we could have had 35-40 runs less.
00:07:38 You say this, you talk about generics,
00:07:42 I think today, I want you to
00:07:45 at least give one or two specific points.
00:07:49 I'm just an example.
00:07:50 So people can see what you're focusing on.
00:07:53 I'm just an example.
00:07:54 If it could have been a little better.
00:07:56 I'm just an example of bowling and batting.
00:07:58 You're talking about bad shots,
00:08:00 let's talk about the bad shots first.
00:08:02 As you know, Adam Zampa is bowling wicket to wicket,
00:08:09 cramping you, he wants you to play like this,
00:08:12 or play the square of the wicket,
00:08:15 and he wants you to bowl the leg before you.
00:08:18 How did we get out?
00:08:20 We didn't go for a straight ball,
00:08:22 we just wanted a room,
00:08:24 so we could extend and target the boundary.
00:08:27 We're going for the mid wicket,
00:08:29 or the square leg, or the point,
00:08:31 like iftikhar got out,
00:08:33 and we got out like this.
00:08:35 We know Stoenius' bowling plan,
00:08:39 he does bouncers, slow bouncers, bouncers,
00:08:43 and this cut.
00:08:44 The first ball was Abdullah Shafiq,
00:08:46 Madov Madov, he looked up,
00:08:48 he went to hit the first ball,
00:08:50 but if you look at his bowling,
00:08:54 he bowled towards him,
00:08:56 and he got out, he was set,
00:08:58 he was playing well,
00:08:59 the wicket went in,
00:09:00 and we got the initiative.
00:09:02 Similarly, if you look at Rizwan's wicket,
00:09:07 Rizwan is set,
00:09:08 why do you want a slider,
00:09:11 or a straight ball,
00:09:12 which he's doing wicket to wicket,
00:09:14 and you're going to hit the wicket,
00:09:16 and cross it to the square leg,
00:09:19 it is not going to happen.
00:09:21 Like before, it will happen.
00:09:23 It was better to give a little room
00:09:25 and target the mid-wicket.
00:09:27 So while Mishra you're talking,
00:09:29 we'll show you the follow wickets,
00:09:31 which you can see on the screen.
00:09:33 Mishra, keep watching.
00:09:34 This was the first one.
00:09:35 Like I said, his plan is to short off length,
00:09:39 that's why Madov Madov is up.
00:09:41 You should have controlled this ball,
00:09:45 it's not like I'm a set batsman,
00:09:47 and you hit a shot,
00:09:49 there's a fielder,
00:09:50 you know the fielder is there.
00:09:52 These are nothing short,
00:09:54 when you're set,
00:09:55 when you're out,
00:09:57 you have to carry that.
00:09:59 This is also like I said,
00:10:01 he's playing it to the square of the wicket point.
00:10:04 He's hitting it to the square leg,
00:10:06 even though he knew it was a wet ball,
00:10:08 and the ball is skidding a little.
00:10:10 And then obviously at the end,
00:10:12 he knew that our batsmen after 6,
00:10:16 they short off length the ball,
00:10:18 and they had a problem with that.
00:10:20 When Nawaz got out,
00:10:22 we'll talk about this later,
00:10:24 Shaheen tried a bit,
00:10:26 he learned a bit of batting,
00:10:27 so that's a good thing for future for Pakistan.
00:10:29 When Nawaz was batting,
00:10:31 when he did 2-1 balls,
00:10:33 or did 1-1/2 balls,
00:10:35 the ball you were out on,
00:10:36 I said he'll do a flipper here,
00:10:38 or googly, he'll do 2 balls.
00:10:40 So you, if Nawaz has been playing for so long,
00:10:44 he should know,
00:10:46 this is called situation awareness.
00:10:48 He's not going to go out and hit blindly,
00:10:50 you see him, he'll do 2 balls,
00:10:52 either I'll go straight, or I'll go extra cover,
00:10:54 on the googly.
00:10:56 And he did a flipper,
00:10:58 and went out first, he had no time.
00:11:00 And then, sorry, Hassan Ali,
00:11:02 you said he did 100 on the first class,
00:11:04 I'm all for it.
00:11:06 But the batting he did today,
00:11:08 when a player of number 9 comes,
00:11:10 in today's era, I was asking Shoaib,
00:11:12 there are so many facilities in the world,
00:11:14 when a batsman of number 9 comes,
00:11:16 what's the idea,
00:11:18 when all the top batters talk about the world,
00:11:20 that you have to make a base,
00:11:22 balance, eyes on the ball,
00:11:24 still head, he did the opposite.
00:11:26 Sometimes he went here,
00:11:28 sometimes there,
00:11:30 sometimes there,
00:11:32 you should stop at one place,
00:11:34 eyes on the ball, give yourself room,
00:11:36 whatever you want, keep your head still.
00:11:38 That's a very good point, Wasim,
00:11:40 and to you, Mohit,
00:11:42 why is it that after number 6,
00:11:44 when we talk about lower order,
00:11:46 in lower order,
00:11:48 it looks like
00:11:50 this lower order just doesn't have the capacity
00:11:52 to bat,
00:11:54 but we've seen other teams
00:11:56 have tail-enders too,
00:11:58 their tails wag, and they wag a lot.
00:12:00 Our tail,
00:12:02 except for Shaheen Shahafri,
00:12:04 trying to make something out of it,
00:12:06 I didn't see any kind of resistance,
00:12:08 or any great application from them.
00:12:10 This is an example of the Netherlands,
00:12:12 they played 9-10 that day,
00:12:14 they did 23-23,
00:12:16 they did it on 9 balls,
00:12:18 they hit 3 sixes,
00:12:20 and Wanderlove,
00:12:22 so that contribution,
00:12:24 so I bring that question to you,
00:12:26 that Miswan has also added,
00:12:28 why not in Pakistan?
00:12:30 I think both of them have talked about it,
00:12:32 they've covered a lot of things,
00:12:34 when you make such a big total,
00:12:36 there's pressure on you,
00:12:38 and our lower down the order,
00:12:40 the way we bat,
00:12:42 they don't have any game awareness,
00:12:44 like Miswan said,
00:12:46 on this wicket,
00:12:48 like we saw in Australia,
00:12:50 the way you hit the shots,
00:12:52 the angles, straight, mid-wicket,
00:12:54 mid-off, even the corners,
00:12:56 you hit it straight,
00:12:58 you go for the aim,
00:13:00 you're already thinking of playing vertical shots,
00:13:02 or squarish of the wicket,
00:13:04 most of the time,
00:13:06 if the ball is a little low,
00:13:08 or there's a little bounce,
00:13:10 or extra pace,
00:13:12 there's a lot of chance of wickets,
00:13:14 that's why, not only our tail-ender,
00:13:16 our top-order batsmen,
00:13:18 after setting up a platform,
00:13:20 they're out on the selection of those bad shots,
00:13:22 I think it's a lack of practice,
00:13:24 and a lack of...
00:13:26 - Lack of practice?
00:13:28 - Practice means, I don't think,
00:13:30 they get batting in nets,
00:13:32 - You're talking about lower-order,
00:13:34 everyone gets batting,
00:13:36 - No, Vaseem,
00:13:38 you get batting,
00:13:40 but you have to build that skill,
00:13:42 you have to build that skill,
00:13:44 you have to practice a little,
00:13:46 and then you practice extra,
00:13:48 you have a goal,
00:13:50 you don't see that determination anywhere,
00:13:52 the resistance,
00:13:54 you see that when you have a personal goal,
00:13:56 that I won't be out,
00:13:58 I won't give him a wicket,
00:14:00 and that's how you get that awareness,
00:14:02 and then you explore your options,
00:14:04 where are you getting hit,
00:14:06 where is it easy to hit, where is he bowling,
00:14:08 where should I play the shot,
00:14:10 that's what Mishra has told us very clearly,
00:14:12 I think all the batsmen,
00:14:14 from top-order to lower-order,
00:14:16 everyone has batted a lot today,
00:14:18 and the selection of shots, and the time also,
00:14:20 because we were going absolutely fine,
00:14:22 we could have chased,
00:14:24 because we knew the dew was going to come,
00:14:26 and it did, so it's easy on that.
00:14:28 - Shabby, 370 is difficult on any pitch,
00:14:30 it doesn't matter,
00:14:32 and that too, it was a small ground,
00:14:34 I understand that, but there was always
00:14:36 a tough ask to get to that.
00:14:38 - Still, we got all out,
00:14:40 4.3 overs to go.
00:14:42 - A lot of people are saying on social media,
00:14:44 and rightly so,
00:14:46 that okay, you're losing the match,
00:14:48 you're trying to win,
00:14:50 you know you won't win,
00:14:52 you won't be 70 in 4 overs,
00:14:54 so try to take a risk in the last over,
00:14:56 and at least try to score 20 in 3 overs,
00:14:58 so that you can get a run rate.
00:15:00 - The net run rate is what matters,
00:15:02 and you can play 50 overs of your innings.
00:15:04 - I want to start with you,
00:15:06 - Sure.
00:15:08 - All your batters,
00:15:10 except for Iftikhar,
00:15:12 the rest,
00:15:14 or you can call Abdullah Shafiq,
00:15:16 the innings which he played against Sri Lanka,
00:15:18 all your conventional players,
00:15:20 those who play runner ball,
00:15:22 if you look at everyone's numbers,
00:15:24 - Look at the strike rates.
00:15:26 - Look at the strike rates,
00:15:28 only Rizwan's,
00:15:30 he scored 46 in 40 balls,
00:15:32 and 26 in 20 balls,
00:15:34 by Iftikhar.
00:15:36 Look, the modern day cricket,
00:15:38 the top teams,
00:15:40 we don't play like that.
00:15:42 We have to adapt like that.
00:15:44 - Why not? That's the question everybody is asking.
00:15:46 - Yeah,
00:15:48 - It's not like we don't have the skill,
00:15:50 we have the skill,
00:15:52 but we don't want to play.
00:15:54 - Why?
00:15:56 - You'll tell me that,
00:15:58 I wouldn't tell you,
00:16:00 I would've told you if I was playing.
00:16:02 - This is the 5th time.
00:16:04 - That's why I always emphasize
00:16:06 that the team's goal should come first.
00:16:08 - Individuals.
00:16:10 - Not individuals.
00:16:12 And when there's so much surety,
00:16:14 I've been a captain for 4 decades,
00:16:16 I've seen a lot of chairmen,
00:16:18 a lot of captains,
00:16:20 but today's team,
00:16:22 the PCB listens to them.
00:16:24 - Because the PCB doesn't have consistency.
00:16:26 - So, the PCB listens to them,
00:16:28 they just have to keep their goal team first.
00:16:30 Like,
00:16:32 they had to score 367,
00:16:34 in that,
00:16:36 64 was done by Abdul Rashid,
00:16:38 70 by Imam,
00:16:40 it was a very good start.
00:16:42 But, this innings is of no use,
00:16:44 if you can't convert it into a big 100.
00:16:46 Now, these were the two guys
00:16:48 who got the biggest start.
00:16:50 - And if we compare it, Shibi,
00:16:52 with David Warner,
00:16:54 he went 130 strike rate,
00:16:56 and then...
00:16:58 - We'll talk more about that,
00:17:00 but right now, we're gonna take a break.
00:17:02 When we come back, we will talk about
00:17:04 what happened to one of the world's
00:17:06 best bowling attacks against the Australians.
00:17:08 Keep watching The Pavilion, we'll see you on the other side.
00:17:10 Welcome back to The Pavilion,
00:17:14 I'm Fakhar Khan, and you're watching
00:17:16 Sports In The Air, why is that, pap?
00:17:18 The news out of Bengaluru, is Australia winning this one?
00:17:20 And Pakistan? Well, Pakistan
00:17:22 just not firing up
00:17:24 again in this game,
00:17:26 a very important game, momentum was
00:17:28 badly needed. We're talking to our
00:17:30 panelists, with me in The Pavilion,
00:17:32 I've got Shoaib Malik, Miss Fahad Haq,
00:17:34 Mohin Khan, and Wasim Akram.
00:17:36 There is always this thing, Wasim,
00:17:38 the world's best bowling attack,
00:17:40 right? It's a big thing that our
00:17:42 bowling attack is very good, and
00:17:44 it's not like Wasim Shah,
00:17:46 but are you
00:17:48 happy when you look at this bowling
00:17:50 card, other than Shaheen Shah, Fridi's
00:17:52 performance today, what went down?
00:17:54 Was Australia too good for us?
00:17:56 Or were we making a lot of
00:17:58 mistakes? Shoaib, you want to say something?
00:18:00 No, no, please. Go for it.
00:18:02 Sorry, Shoaib, my apologies.
00:18:04 I wanted to talk about cricket since you
00:18:06 have already asked a question.
00:18:08 We can come back to this question. Sorry, you were saying something
00:18:10 and I'll come back to you on this, Wasim.
00:18:12 When you're chasing 367,
00:18:14 first batter,
00:18:16 Abdullah Shafiq, faced
00:18:18 61 balls, scored 64 runs.
00:18:20 Boundaries, 7 fours
00:18:22 and 2 sixes.
00:18:24 What about rest of the balls?
00:18:26 What about those
00:18:28 rest of the balls? Why didn't
00:18:30 they get utilised well?
00:18:32 Imam scored
00:18:34 70 runs, 71 balls. 10 fours,
00:18:36 which is 44 runs. What about
00:18:38 rest of the balls?
00:18:40 These are the things that
00:18:42 like Iftikhar,
00:18:44 out of 26 runs,
00:18:46 he hit 3 sixes.
00:18:48 So, the rest of the 17 balls,
00:18:50 their utilisation,
00:18:52 we lack in these things.
00:18:54 Whenever you play against a top team,
00:18:56 what do they do? Top batters,
00:18:58 they hit boundaries too, but the good
00:19:00 ball, they rotate the strike on it.
00:19:02 So, the total,
00:19:04 the day we play really well,
00:19:06 we do around 300.
00:19:08 Why don't we go for 350, 370?
00:19:10 We don't go for that because
00:19:12 we make runs with boundaries,
00:19:14 but the dot ball percentage is
00:19:16 too much.
00:19:18 We need to work on this. And one more thing
00:19:20 I want to say, when the spinner's
00:19:22 ball is not spinning,
00:19:24 you don't play horizontal shots.
00:19:26 You have to play down the ground
00:19:28 because the ball is not spinning. And where the ball
00:19:30 is not spinning, the passer's ball
00:19:32 will come fast. You will get a short of length.
00:19:34 There you will play horizontal shots.
00:19:36 So, this is a very common sense,
00:19:38 game awareness, we lack in that.
00:19:40 - Well, this is... - There's a pattern
00:19:42 coming up now. We are not looking
00:19:44 closely at the World Cup, we look at
00:19:46 the rest of the matches on and off,
00:19:48 when we travel. Now,
00:19:50 today we had 6 wickets in 36 runs.
00:19:52 - Yes. - Last 6.
00:19:54 And against India too,
00:19:56 we were 2 in 155, all out in 190.
00:19:58 - All out. - There's a pattern.
00:20:00 - There's a pattern coming. - Which thing
00:20:02 do you want to point out? Very interesting fact.
00:20:04 Abdullah Shafiq has played 2 wickets.
00:20:06 We played our first wicket in 22 overs.
00:20:08 Now, let me tell you something interesting.
00:20:10 Glenn Maxwell, small ground,
00:20:12 where you are
00:20:14 hitting the ball with the chip.
00:20:16 He bowled 5 overs,
00:20:18 gave 40 runs.
00:20:20 I mean,
00:20:22 I sometimes laugh
00:20:24 because if you have a bowler
00:20:26 like that, just go after
00:20:28 that bowler. Even if you get out,
00:20:30 it's okay. The end goal is
00:20:32 to get to 367.
00:20:34 Can I say this? He gave 40 runs,
00:20:36 Glenn Maxwell. Not a single 6.
00:20:38 Nobody hit him for a 6.
00:20:40 The same thing happened.
00:20:42 I have a stat right in front of me.
00:20:44 Coming back to your question you asked me
00:20:46 after the break about Pakistan bowling.
00:20:48 You said, am I kind of
00:20:50 satisfied?
00:20:52 My question was, this is the best bowling attack in the world.
00:20:54 Minus Naseem Shah, but still
00:20:56 the rest is the same.
00:20:58 Why do you call it the best in the world?
00:21:00 I'm just asking.
00:21:02 That's what I hear. Everywhere everybody goes
00:21:04 and that's the attribute that is given to the team.
00:21:06 You have very talented
00:21:08 bowlers. Shaheen Shah is one of the best
00:21:10 bowlers in world cricket. Unfortunately, Naseem
00:21:12 got injured. But Haris Rauf,
00:21:14 I'm telling you from the beginning, before the World Cup
00:21:16 started, that until he plays
00:21:18 first class, he will have a problem in one day.
00:21:20 Why is it easy in T20?
00:21:22 I have to bowl 4 overs.
00:21:24 I know that he will hit me short.
00:21:26 I need 2-3 balls. Yorker,
00:21:28 bouncer, or variation.
00:21:30 Back of a length, which I'm saying,
00:21:32 consistently show me 6 balls, back of a length.
00:21:34 In wickets.
00:21:36 Like today, your first over, your fast bowler,
00:21:38 who you call a hidden weapon.
00:21:40 That this is my weapon, he will
00:21:42 keep them in check, he will keep them scared.
00:21:44 He will get wickets. In the first over, 24.
00:21:46 In the first over, 24.
00:21:48 Game over then. I mean, this was...
00:21:50 And there was width on offer.
00:21:52 This was inside the ball, but look at this.
00:21:54 No, the same length, consistent length
00:21:56 outside of the stump. That was unlucky.
00:21:58 But again, too full.
00:22:00 Now, your main bowler, in the first over,
00:22:02 that too, in one day, 50 overs,
00:22:04 in such a cracker wicket, on a small ground,
00:22:06 it's very, literally impossible
00:22:08 to stop the opposition to get
00:22:10 to 350. Okay, so
00:22:12 what do I say?
00:22:14 I mean, Mishpa, how do...
00:22:16 Chairman Technical Committee.
00:22:18 Pakistan Cricket Board's
00:22:20 Chairman Technical Committee.
00:22:22 Mishpa?
00:22:24 Look, the balling
00:22:26 tactics, I really
00:22:28 don't understand. Even today, we saw
00:22:30 that even at the end,
00:22:32 our third man
00:22:34 was on the boundary.
00:22:36 And Madov Madov was up,
00:22:38 and they were hitting sixes in front.
00:22:40 And we were balling Yorkers,
00:22:42 Normans... Okay, good. This is a point
00:22:44 I want to discuss, before you move on.
00:22:46 Before you go on to other points.
00:22:48 Please, explain to our viewers
00:22:50 once, what was happening
00:22:52 at the mid-off, because you were
00:22:54 consistently making comments on that,
00:22:56 when we were watching the game.
00:22:58 And this mid-off, mid-on fielders issue,
00:23:00 and lengths. So, let's talk
00:23:02 with Usama Mir. Let's start with Usama Mir.
00:23:04 Because he has hit a lot of fours at the mid-off.
00:23:06 Absolutely. At the start of the fielding,
00:23:08 look at what happened at the Usama.
00:23:10 Our mid-off was up.
00:23:12 And the cover was behind.
00:23:14 And what was he doing?
00:23:16 He was off-stump, and he was balling ahead.
00:23:18 That was a free hit.
00:23:20 He didn't have
00:23:22 a chance to
00:23:24 ball.
00:23:26 I want to add one thing
00:23:28 to Usama's bowling.
00:23:30 David Warner is playing now.
00:23:32 So, five fielders are on-site.
00:23:34 He didn't make a single googly.
00:23:36 He didn't make a single googly
00:23:38 to Warner in the fifth or sixth over.
00:23:40 That was only because the mid-off was up.
00:23:42 So,
00:23:44 you take your short-fine-legged fielder
00:23:46 or short-mid-wicked fielder
00:23:48 to the off-put point.
00:23:50 He's your wrist spinner.
00:23:52 If he doesn't take you wickets,
00:23:54 why did you let him play?
00:23:56 I can understand Usama playing his first game
00:23:58 World Cup, and then he dropped the catch.
00:24:00 Poor guy. So, that drop catch must have
00:24:02 given a lot of confidence to him.
00:24:04 He was very back.
00:24:06 That's what the whole team,
00:24:08 especially the skipper, should have gone up to him,
00:24:10 hugged him in the break.
00:24:12 "It's okay. Focus. Move on."
00:24:14 But at least, right field placement
00:24:16 should have been given to him.
00:24:18 He was given five on-site.
00:24:20 Look, these bowlers, for the past four or five years,
00:24:22 Usama has been playing cricket for a long time.
00:24:24 He's done well in England,
00:24:26 he's done well in the county,
00:24:28 he's done well in the 100.
00:24:30 Now, these bowlers should know their own field.
00:24:32 It's easier to blame the captain.
00:24:34 The captain won't do everything.
00:24:36 Shaheen, Haris, Rauf,
00:24:38 they're specialist white balls.
00:24:40 They should know what field we have to play,
00:24:42 what the opposition is, because they're
00:24:44 all on the same side.
00:24:46 - When you're in a team meeting,
00:24:48 you discuss every batsman.
00:24:50 Like, they had a plan.
00:24:52 They knew that Iftikhar is good against
00:24:54 Pace. As soon as he got the start,
00:24:56 they kept three overs for Zampa.
00:24:58 - Yeah. - And for the back-up,
00:25:00 they brought him in right away.
00:25:02 And that was exactly their plan.
00:25:04 Against Nawaz too.
00:25:06 So, it's not just about
00:25:08 you keep making bowling changes for no reason.
00:25:10 The right-hander is new,
00:25:12 and David Warner is on the set.
00:25:14 Iftikhar is bowling well.
00:25:16 We've removed him,
00:25:18 and put a left-hander on Legs.
00:25:20 You have to put a bowler for the
00:25:22 set batsman.
00:25:24 You have to trap him first.
00:25:26 You'll catch the new batsman.
00:25:28 Then you see,
00:25:30 Nawaz is bowling well.
00:25:32 Nawaz's figures were better.
00:25:34 Iftikhar's figures are better.
00:25:36 Osama is under pressure.
00:25:38 He missed a catch.
00:25:40 He's getting runs.
00:25:42 Harris is getting runs.
00:25:44 You didn't get
00:25:46 three or two over from him.
00:25:48 - You got two Hussain Ali.
00:25:50 - Yeah, two Hussain Ali who were
00:25:52 bowling better, not seven over from him.
00:25:54 And you didn't. In such a big match,
00:25:56 when there's such a big margin,
00:25:58 this mistake is a big one.
00:26:00 This could have made a difference
00:26:02 in 30-40 runs.
00:26:04 - Another question. - You were saying
00:26:06 that bowlers should know their
00:26:08 game. How will they know
00:26:10 when they don't have game awareness?
00:26:12 When you select players
00:26:14 from two or three matches,
00:26:16 how will they have game awareness?
00:26:18 - Game awareness.
00:26:20 - We're not talking about Osama.
00:26:22 - No, no, generally.
00:26:24 - I'm not talking about Osama.
00:26:26 - As a coaching point of view,
00:26:28 when you give your plans to the bowler,
00:26:30 it means you're not giving him
00:26:32 the confidence. Ask him.
00:26:34 He's a master. He's bowled all his life.
00:26:36 He's selected for a good performance.
00:26:38 You should ask the captain, the coach.
00:26:40 - What should be your field?
00:26:42 - Where are you comfortable?
00:26:44 This is the way to give confidence.
00:26:46 - Interestingly, I did not see
00:26:48 any footage today throughout.
00:26:50 We get the other feed.
00:26:52 You get it, where the
00:26:54 shahar is on. We get a direct feed.
00:26:56 I didn't see Babar
00:26:58 actually going and talking to Osama
00:27:00 at any point.
00:27:02 - I want to add one thing.
00:27:04 One more thing that we were discussing.
00:27:06 When Hassan Ali's game
00:27:08 started a little bit
00:27:10 in reverse, and he
00:27:12 was back of length
00:27:14 and bowling in the wickets,
00:27:16 at that time, the square leg and
00:27:18 the fine leg were so much inside.
00:27:20 The square leg was inside the umpire too.
00:27:22 And he's playing a pitch-match in front of you
00:27:24 and you know his pick-up shot is a mid-wicket.
00:27:26 Why do you need a third man?
00:27:28 You're attacking the wicket.
00:27:30 If you want him to hit the pick-up shot,
00:27:32 why don't you have three fielders?
00:27:34 - One more thing.
00:27:36 Today, the way the opening
00:27:38 partnership was played
00:27:40 against us, the Pakistan cricket team,
00:27:42 the death-overs, which we call
00:27:44 the last 10 overs, they were
00:27:46 supposed to start early.
00:27:48 The field placement should have been
00:27:50 done that way because the openers
00:27:52 made 284 runs together.
00:27:54 So your death-overs
00:27:56 started with the 30th over.
00:27:58 Today, the 367 runs,
00:28:00 they've made fewer runs.
00:28:02 - Yes, Maxwell was out.
00:28:04 - Maxwell made a mistake.
00:28:06 So, fewer runs have been made.
00:28:08 Now, you knew it was going to be
00:28:10 a high-scoring game.
00:28:12 Now, how do you cut down the runs?
00:28:14 The 40-50 runs, which
00:28:16 have to make a difference, where the match
00:28:18 is going to end, how do you cut that down
00:28:20 as a bowling unit?
00:28:22 So that your death-overs start early
00:28:24 according to the field placement.
00:28:26 Will I take the mid-wicket back?
00:28:28 I won't worry about the
00:28:30 150-baller coming in. I'll call the third man up.
00:28:32 I'll call the fine leg up.
00:28:34 - If you're sitting outside,
00:28:36 you're the coach, or you're the coach,
00:28:38 for instance, you can send a message
00:28:40 to the captain.
00:28:42 - I'll send a message.
00:28:44 You should know that
00:28:46 the Australian team,
00:28:48 they're good on length balls.
00:28:50 Square of the wicket boundaries are small.
00:28:52 The fine leg boundary is 60 yards
00:28:54 and 62 yards on this side.
00:28:56 The boundary is 70 yards
00:28:58 on the other side.
00:29:00 So if you have Harris,
00:29:02 who comes in and does Yorkers,
00:29:04 and you have these three fielders
00:29:06 in front of you, how many times
00:29:08 will someone clear the boundary and
00:29:10 hit a sixer? I think there are
00:29:12 missing things that if they had done,
00:29:14 the 30-40 runs difference
00:29:16 could have been massive.
00:29:18 - Your team has created a difference.
00:29:20 400 runs, or else it would have been 400 runs.
00:29:22 This is their courtesy
00:29:24 that they did the last 16 overs.
00:29:26 - I love the word "courtesy".
00:29:28 This was Australia's courtesy
00:29:30 that they did the last 40 runs.
00:29:32 - The Pakistani death bowlers who bowled,
00:29:34 because of their courtesy,
00:29:36 you have created eight runs in the last 16 overs.
00:29:38 - It's not their favor,
00:29:40 Mitchell Marsh,
00:29:42 he bowled eight over Iftikhar's small ground.
00:29:44 He didn't even attempt once.
00:29:46 It's his favor.
00:29:48 - And then that takes me to that question,
00:29:50 because when you look at the bowling cards of Pakistan,
00:29:52 the most economical bowler was Iftikhar.
00:29:56 And then second was Nawaz.
00:29:58 So both of them have left overs.
00:30:00 - That's the problem.
00:30:02 - They say, "Go figure."
00:30:04 - Well, you know what? We're going to take a break here
00:30:06 while you go figure why that happened.
00:30:08 We'll see you on the other side of figuring this.
00:30:10 You're watching A-Sports,
00:30:16 10 Sports and the ARY Zapp app.
00:30:18 And also good news for all the Pavilion fans
00:30:20 in the United Kingdom.
00:30:22 You can watch the Pavilion on ARY Digital UK
00:30:24 on Sky 758 every evening at 10 p.m.
00:30:26 So join us for all the fun conversations
00:30:28 that we have here in the Pavilion.
00:30:30 With me in the Pavilion,
00:30:32 I've got four fantastic cricketing minds.
00:30:34 I've got Shoaib Malik,
00:30:36 Miz Fawlaq, Moeen Khan,
00:30:38 and Wasim Akram.
00:30:40 And we're talking about the loss
00:30:42 that Pakistan has suffered against Australia just now.
00:30:44 - You're still talking about it?
00:30:46 - Yeah. We have to talk about it.
00:30:48 We have a lot to talk about
00:30:50 the way it went down.
00:30:52 - Can I start then? - Yes, please.
00:30:54 Go ahead, Shoaib. You love to start.
00:30:56 - I said something in the pre-match
00:30:58 that we should
00:31:00 play the other team
00:31:02 in our own style,
00:31:04 the way we play 50-over cricket.
00:31:06 We should play like that.
00:31:08 You could have played like that
00:31:10 if you had won the toss and batted first.
00:31:12 You could have put pressure on the Australians
00:31:14 if you had set a target.
00:31:16 But that was a mistake.
00:31:18 Because
00:31:20 the matches we win against a big team
00:31:22 are mostly
00:31:24 batted.
00:31:26 Our bowling attack puts pressure on them.
00:31:28 And the way we played
00:31:30 the pitch in the first half,
00:31:32 it was really good.
00:31:34 I guess we should have backed
00:31:36 the decision that if you had won the toss,
00:31:38 you should have batted.
00:31:40 - But Shoaib,
00:31:42 there must have been a discussion about the think tank.
00:31:44 - Yes, the think tank.
00:31:46 - Let's discuss
00:31:48 who is the think tank.
00:31:50 - That's an interesting question.
00:31:52 Let's ask the chairman of the technical committee.
00:31:54 Are you a part of the think tank?
00:31:56 - I called them and told them
00:31:58 what to do.
00:32:00 - Who is the team director, coach?
00:32:02 - Don't get upset.
00:32:04 - Leave it.
00:32:06 He is talking to me.
00:32:08 He must not be telling
00:32:10 about the team director.
00:32:12 He must not be telling about the players.
00:32:14 - He is not aware of it.
00:32:16 - He is not aware of it.
00:32:18 - He is teasing you.
00:32:20 - We were just teasing you, brother.
00:32:22 - He is serious.
00:32:24 - I think
00:32:26 your main captain,
00:32:28 senior player,
00:32:30 vice captain,
00:32:32 and then obviously
00:32:34 your coaching staff,
00:32:36 I think
00:32:38 if you don't execute
00:32:40 your plan,
00:32:42 you can make your decision.
00:32:44 Look at your body language,
00:32:46 look at your plans.
00:32:48 I don't think
00:32:50 we were so intense
00:32:52 that we were there.
00:32:54 When we sat down...
00:32:56 - You were the one who decided
00:32:58 to bowl before winning the toss.
00:33:00 - I think, just like Pakistan
00:33:02 did batting,
00:33:04 our bowling is in this situation
00:33:06 without Naseem and the form of the bowlers,
00:33:08 the way our spinners are bowling.
00:33:10 And if there is no help,
00:33:12 I don't think it is possible
00:33:14 to defend for us.
00:33:16 - Will your batting
00:33:18 chase a good bowling attack?
00:33:20 - No, it won't.
00:33:22 - Please answer this.
00:33:24 - We could have done it.
00:33:26 - We didn't do it today.
00:33:28 I think Pakistan's strength...
00:33:30 - If you don't play well,
00:33:32 it doesn't matter if you play
00:33:34 earlier or later.
00:33:36 If you make mistakes,
00:33:38 it doesn't matter.
00:33:40 - I understand both of you.
00:33:42 This camp is clearly saying
00:33:44 that we should have played
00:33:46 on our strength.
00:33:48 But Misma is right.
00:33:50 It doesn't matter what you do
00:33:52 after winning the toss.
00:33:54 If you don't play well,
00:33:56 it's obvious that...
00:33:58 - We saw Australia's batting
00:34:00 struggle with their strength.
00:34:02 You saw, Mitchell and Marsh
00:34:04 were running from the corner.
00:34:06 They were running from the corner
00:34:08 and the catch was small.
00:34:10 It doesn't matter.
00:34:12 But the thing is,
00:34:14 they were not
00:34:16 disturbed by the spinner.
00:34:18 - I agree with you.
00:34:20 I say there are two schools of thought.
00:34:22 Misma has a different school of thought.
00:34:24 You guys have a different school of thought.
00:34:26 - Fielding 50 overs and
00:34:28 playing 163 innings,
00:34:30 fielding 50 overs and
00:34:32 playing 163 innings was not easy.
00:34:34 - It would have been another
00:34:36 challenge for them.
00:34:38 - Exactly.
00:34:40 - So you are saying that
00:34:42 no one in our century could
00:34:44 make it because they had
00:34:46 fielded 50 overs.
00:34:48 - Yes, it's a common element.
00:34:50 It's not just in our team.
00:34:52 - Can it contribute to the
00:34:54 Doddballs?
00:34:56 - No, the players have gone
00:34:58 for sweets.
00:35:00 - What do you have to say?
00:35:02 - I have said it. I have my
00:35:04 point of view.
00:35:06 - He said that Doddballs can
00:35:08 be converted into singles.
00:35:10 - Who will convert?
00:35:12 - The best players.
00:35:14 - Was that the reason
00:35:16 for not taking more singles?
00:35:18 Was that also causing them
00:35:20 a little bit of fatigue?
00:35:22 - Not the only factor but one of the factors.
00:35:24 - One of the factors.
00:35:26 - The team goal.
00:35:28 - I understand.
00:35:30 - You play accordingly.
00:35:32 - You have been emphasizing this
00:35:34 from day one.
00:35:36 The team goal should be
00:35:38 defined and everyone should
00:35:40 play for the team goal.
00:35:42 You are saying it very politely
00:35:44 that sometimes it seems that
00:35:46 some people play very selfishly
00:35:48 and make the team goal secondary.
00:35:50 I know you are being very polite
00:35:52 and diplomatic and we always
00:35:54 wanted to do that because we
00:35:56 wanted to address all these
00:35:58 issues in a rigid manner
00:36:00 so that they are addressed
00:36:02 before the next game.
00:36:04 That's all we really hope.
00:36:06 We want the Shaheen's to take Parwaz
00:36:08 and that's what we are looking for.
00:36:10 An interesting thing that Misma
00:36:12 has shared with us is that
00:36:14 Australia has played 152 Doddballs
00:36:16 and Pakistan has played 129.
00:36:18 Of course Pakistan has not played
00:36:20 all of their overs but 152 and 129
00:36:22 means we have less Doddballs
00:36:24 but still there is a big difference
00:36:26 in the score and that is because of the 6s.
00:36:28 - 19 and 6.
00:36:30 - 19 and 6. With that we are going
00:36:32 to take a break right here on The Pavilion.
00:36:34 When we come back we are getting closer to
00:36:36 #AskThePavilion.
00:36:38 Your questions, their answers
00:36:40 with our panelists and we are already
00:36:42 seeing on Twitter and Facebook
00:36:44 that you are already getting a lot of questions.
00:36:46 So stay tuned for that.
00:36:48 We will see you on the other side of the break.
00:36:52 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
00:36:54 You are watching A Sports and Sports
00:36:56 and the ARYS App. Our continued coverage
00:36:58 of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023
00:37:00 and the news out of Bengaluru is that
00:37:02 Australia won their game. Pakistan
00:37:04 stand defeated and Pakistan has
00:37:06 a lot of things to address very fast
00:37:08 before their next game which is
00:37:10 against Afghanistan. We were talking
00:37:12 about that. I have with me in The Pavilion
00:37:14 Shoaib Malik, Miss Waul Haq, Mohin Khan
00:37:16 and Wasim Akram. Right Mohin,
00:37:18 good throws on to those links. Really
00:37:20 I think Shoaib we should do the way forward
00:37:22 with the chairman of the technical
00:37:24 committee.
00:37:26 Miss Waul Haq. The way forward for Pakistan
00:37:28 Miss Waul Haq.
00:37:30 [Laughter]
00:37:32 [Speaking in foreign language]
00:37:34 [Speaking in foreign language]
00:37:36 [Speaking in foreign language]
00:37:38 Anyway, way forward.
00:37:40 [Speaking in foreign language]
00:37:42 [Laughter]
00:37:44 [Speaking in foreign language]
00:37:46 [Speaking in foreign language]
00:37:48 [Speaking in foreign language]
00:37:50 [Speaking in foreign language]
00:37:52 [Laughter]
00:37:54 Anyway, the way forward for Pakistan.
00:37:56 Why are your words so careful?
00:37:58 No, not careful.
00:38:00 I am giving an honest opinion.
00:38:02 I think
00:38:04 the most important thing
00:38:06 for Pakistan
00:38:08 the way I saw today
00:38:10 after winning the toss
00:38:12 bowling first, body language
00:38:14 intensity
00:38:16 that is very important for you.
00:38:18 You can never do well in the world cup
00:38:20 like this
00:38:22 until you
00:38:24 have that intensity in the field.
00:38:26 So Pakistan going forward
00:38:28 always
00:38:30 be hopeful.
00:38:32 You have won two matches
00:38:34 and you have big chances.
00:38:36 A lot is going to happen in this tournament.
00:38:38 Almost half of the tournament
00:38:40 has not happened yet.
00:38:42 So why should we lose our body language?
00:38:44 Overall,
00:38:46 a lot of positives
00:38:48 for Pakistan team.
00:38:50 The way we batted
00:38:52 367 chases
00:38:54 still a lot of positives.
00:38:56 If we improve our fielding
00:38:58 especially
00:39:00 and grab chances
00:39:02 and improve our bowling and batting
00:39:04 efforts, we still have
00:39:06 chance. There are still a lot of matches
00:39:08 5 matches left
00:39:10 and I think after winning
00:39:12 one of them, you can still
00:39:14 make it to the semis.
00:39:16 Really appreciate that.
00:39:18 One more positive that Shain bowled really well.
00:39:20 5 wickets in the first half.
00:39:22 That's a very important positive.
00:39:24 Wasim, you were teaching us a tweet
00:39:26 after the match. A brother tweeted
00:39:28 that Pakistan all they need
00:39:30 to do is just
00:39:32 improve a little bit in their batting
00:39:34 bowling and fielding. Otherwise
00:39:36 everything else is all okay.
00:39:38 Alright friends,
00:39:40 we talked about Pakistan's performance today.
00:39:42 Let's not forget that it was
00:39:44 the Warner Mars show that really
00:39:46 set up that big win for Australia.
00:39:48 That batting opening partnership was
00:39:50 just outstanding, explosive
00:39:52 and the Pakistani bowlers clearly
00:39:54 had no answers for that right
00:39:56 at the beginning of the game. With that,
00:39:58 we're going to take a break but when we come back
00:40:00 then see on your screen #AskThePavilion
00:40:02 is coming up.
00:40:04 Your questions, your comments
00:40:06 and we're seeing a lot of anger
00:40:08 already on the hashtag.
00:40:10 Please send them so that our experts
00:40:12 can answer them. Keep watching
00:40:14 The Pavilion.
00:40:16 Welcome back to The Pavilion. I'm Fakhr-e-Anam.
00:40:22 You're watching Sports and Sports in the ARY
00:40:24 Zap app. With me in The Pavilion, I've got
00:40:26 four great cricketing minds. I've got Shoaib Malik,
00:40:28 Miss Fahad Haq, Mohin Khan and
00:40:30 Wasim Akram. Before the break,
00:40:32 we said we'd start the #AskThePavilion
00:40:34 series.
00:40:36 We'll start it off
00:40:38 properly.
00:40:40 I know there's a lot of angry
00:40:42 questions that have come on
00:40:44 Facebook as well and on Twitter
00:40:46 /X.
00:40:48 I don't want to
00:40:50 because we've already talked about a lot of things.
00:40:52 I don't want to address all of these
00:40:54 things. We understand
00:40:56 your anger. We appreciate it.
00:40:58 Your anger is on its own.
00:41:00 Let's start off. Zahra Nabeel,
00:41:02 your Twitter handle
00:41:04 is @ZahraNabeel19.
00:41:06 You're saying,
00:41:08 "My question is to Fakhr and Shoaib. How are you
00:41:10 able to say things that force viewers to question
00:41:12 the team's intentions and make it seem like
00:41:14 there has never been a more selfish set of players
00:41:16 to exist? How do you manage to spew
00:41:18 such venom with a smile?"
00:41:20 Alright.
00:41:22 You want to take that up, Shoaib? Or should I answer it?
00:41:24 No, please answer. I don't understand
00:41:26 what you mean by that. There is no venom.
00:41:28 There is nothing. We are backing...
00:41:30 What's the person's name? Zahra Nabeel.
00:41:32 Zahra Nabeel. He has 112 followers.
00:41:34 And...
00:41:36 That's it.
00:41:38 Zahra, you made a lot of effort to write
00:41:40 nonsense. We are here
00:41:42 to talk about Pakistan cricket's performance
00:41:44 today. If they play well, we'll say well.
00:41:46 If they play badly, we'll say badly.
00:41:48 We're not sitting here like fools.
00:41:50 So be positive in life.
00:41:52 I'll feel for people around you
00:41:54 how much negativity you must be giving them.
00:41:56 With that...
00:41:58 Yeah. Here's the thing, guys.
00:42:00 When we talk about the team or when we
00:42:02 critically analyze... The word is
00:42:04 critically analyzing.
00:42:06 We didn't make stats.
00:42:08 Stats are based on the players' performance.
00:42:10 We can't deny the stats that come out.
00:42:12 We can't deny them.
00:42:14 If we stay in denial, we can't move
00:42:16 towards improvement. And one thing
00:42:18 I just want to say here is that
00:42:20 in life, there is one thing.
00:42:22 Winning or losing... I'm not a believer
00:42:24 of that concept. You either win
00:42:26 or you learn.
00:42:28 That's the way you have to go about this.
00:42:30 And in order to learn, you need to first
00:42:32 identify the mistakes and then address
00:42:34 those mistakes so that you can be
00:42:36 a winner. Our team, yes,
00:42:38 it has the full potential to be a winner.
00:42:40 But unfortunately,
00:42:42 we are seeing that our patterns
00:42:44 are emerging and we are worried.
00:42:46 Because we have very few games left now
00:42:48 and we need them to win,
00:42:50 them to click so that we go to the semifinals.
00:42:52 That's what we're
00:42:54 hoping to achieve here.
00:42:56 Right, sir. Let's move on.
00:42:58 The next question is from
00:43:00 Mehmood32UZ.
00:43:02 Your
00:43:04 accent. 32UZ and then
00:43:06 more numbers. Mehmood.
00:43:08 Mehmood is asking, a big fan of the show,
00:43:10 thank you for talking sense
00:43:12 on every occasion. Well, clearly
00:43:14 somebody else agrees and somebody doesn't.
00:43:16 His question is, please explain to us
00:43:18 as fans, what are we supposed
00:43:20 to depend on? Is our bowling
00:43:22 our depending factor, our batting,
00:43:24 our fielding? Because at times it looks like
00:43:26 we can't really count on anything and that we win
00:43:28 games with luck.
00:43:30 Gentlemen.
00:43:32 The floor is open. I think whenever
00:43:34 you know, such performances happen,
00:43:36 naturally your confidence is shattered.
00:43:38 But I think you should
00:43:40 be on your strengths, which you understand,
00:43:42 which is the strength of your team. If you
00:43:44 think your strength is bowling, then
00:43:46 you should go to bat first and
00:43:48 save runs. Whatever you
00:43:50 post, target, you know.
00:43:52 If you're not on your strength,
00:43:54 you don't come to your basics, then I think
00:43:56 that pressure will develop more.
00:43:58 Pakistan's matches are difficult
00:44:00 matches ahead. A little opposition is difficult.
00:44:02 It will be tough for Pakistan.
00:44:04 But again, I will say, stay on your strength.
00:44:06 If you think batting is
00:44:08 strength, then you should bat.
00:44:10 He's asking about the Pakistan team.
00:44:12 What do we believe in them?
00:44:14 He's saying, what are we
00:44:16 relying on?
00:44:18 On our bowling, our batting, our fielding?
00:44:20 As far as
00:44:22 I know,
00:44:24 I think Pakistan's bowling is
00:44:26 better. Pakistan,
00:44:28 if
00:44:30 someone posts a good total,
00:44:32 then Pakistan's bowling
00:44:34 has life, they can defend.
00:44:36 I think they should bat first.
00:44:38 Okay, alright. He didn't
00:44:40 ask this, but you answered it.
00:44:42 That's not what they were
00:44:44 asking, but you know what, that's a polite way of
00:44:46 not answering a question.
00:44:48 Irfan Malik's question is,
00:44:50 IMMALIK786, your handle is,
00:44:52 What's the role of Muhammad Nawaz
00:44:54 in the team? He bats like a tail-ender
00:44:56 and bowls like a part-timer.
00:44:58 Over the last zillion years he's playing, he's never
00:45:00 made any impact ever
00:45:02 and always been below average.
00:45:04 Have you seen India's Jadeja?
00:45:06 Ask the pavilion, this question is for you
00:45:08 and you, both.
00:45:10 Get him there, buddy.
00:45:12 I've been
00:45:14 commenting on Nawaz for a long time.
00:45:16 Whenever he comes, we show
00:45:18 his stats, his average is 37,
00:45:20 36 in first class.
00:45:22 But I don't see him batting. Maybe
00:45:24 he scored a few years ago.
00:45:26 But today
00:45:28 was the perfect example, flat deck,
00:45:30 not turning, just play and
00:45:32 he was playing one shot, his leg was on the side
00:45:34 and he was getting hit. And bowling,
00:45:36 he didn't even over-bowl,
00:45:38 he just bowled
00:45:40 8-7 overs
00:45:42 for 43, he bowled okay, but generally understand
00:45:44 where you're coming from, it's a valid question.
00:45:46 He has to perform,
00:45:48 he has to be consistent,
00:45:50 otherwise there's no point having a bowler who can't bowl
00:45:52 and an all-rounder who can't bat
00:45:54 at number 7-8.
00:45:56 Right, the question is from Bringiton,
00:45:58 given_in is your handle.
00:46:00 Bringiton says,
00:46:02 "Why Pakistan mostly fails to produce finishes?
00:46:04 Today's score was very much achievable
00:46:06 till Iftikhar and Rizwan got out.
00:46:08 They just had to play till the end.
00:46:10 Singles were important at that time.
00:46:12 How are our think tanks?"
00:46:14 Well, Bringiton, we're asking the same questions,
00:46:16 but finishers, let's talk about
00:46:18 finishers.
00:46:20 Let's talk about finishers.
00:46:22 I'll bring this to you Malik because you were a great finisher for Pakistan.
00:46:24 You used to handle spin really well,
00:46:26 you used to play spin
00:46:28 very intelligently and you used to finish
00:46:30 a lot of games as well. So let me bring this to you.
00:46:32 For a finisher, just finishing
00:46:34 a game is not
00:46:36 hitting 4s and 6s.
00:46:38 Absorbing that pressure
00:46:40 and then
00:46:42 strike rotation is very important.
00:46:44 And the most important thing is
00:46:46 that you have to be physically
00:46:48 fit.
00:46:50 When you finish a match,
00:46:52 the field placement is like
00:46:54 outside the 38 circle,
00:46:56 there are a lot of fielders on the boundary lines.
00:46:58 You have to
00:47:00 place them and run 2 runs.
00:47:02 You have to improvise
00:47:04 as a finisher. Then you have to
00:47:06 play strong shots.
00:47:08 I guess our batters
00:47:10 like Iftihar,
00:47:12 are playing very well and
00:47:14 consistently performing. There is just one thing missing
00:47:16 and that is that they have to
00:47:18 practice against wrist
00:47:20 spinners. How can I
00:47:22 improve my
00:47:24 strike against wrist spinners?
00:47:26 That can only be done by practicing.
00:47:28 And they should practice
00:47:30 playing against spinners without pads.
00:47:32 Nothing happens.
00:47:34 You can hit a few balls
00:47:36 and you feel like it doesn't matter.
00:47:38 But without pads,
00:47:40 if you play against spinners
00:47:42 without pads,
00:47:44 you play everything with bats.
00:47:46 But the job of a finisher is not
00:47:48 how to hit a few balls.
00:47:50 Running between the wicket,
00:47:52 physical fitness is very very important.
00:47:54 Right, a lot of things are very important
00:47:56 and so is a break. We are going to take a break
00:47:58 but when we come back, there are a lot of questions
00:48:00 coming on the #AskThePavilion.
00:48:02 We will see you on the other side.
00:48:04 Welcome back to the #AskThePavilion.
00:48:06 I am Fakhr-e-Alam and you are watching
00:48:08 Sports and Sports and the ARY's app.
00:48:10 Our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup.
00:48:12 And to all our friends in the United Kingdom,
00:48:14 you can now join us on ARY
00:48:16 Digital which is available on Sky 758
00:48:18 at 10pm
00:48:20 throughout the World Cup and be part of the #AskThePavilion.
00:48:22 Right, sir.
00:48:24 We are continuing the #AskThePavilion.
00:48:26 Shoaib Malik, you have somebody's question.
00:48:28 I have a question.
00:48:30 His ex-handler, Mohsin Hasan,
00:48:32 asked the #AskThePavilion.
00:48:34 The question is for everyone.
00:48:36 Is it time we go with
00:48:38 Agha and Iftikhar for part-time
00:48:40 options and have more depth
00:48:42 in batting as our main spinners,
00:48:44 all-rounders, are
00:48:46 not performing?
00:48:48 I will...
00:48:50 Please, say something.
00:48:52 You answer this.
00:48:54 Should I answer?
00:48:56 Is it okay?
00:48:58 Is it okay?
00:49:00 He is saying that
00:49:02 if two Agha's bowl...
00:49:04 One spinner will drop, right?
00:49:06 So, Iftikhar and Agha
00:49:08 should go with Salman
00:49:10 so that there is depth
00:49:12 in batting and both
00:49:14 can bowl 10 overs together.
00:49:16 It all depends on what the captain
00:49:18 and coach are thinking.
00:49:20 Sitting here, your thinking
00:49:22 and our telling doesn't matter.
00:49:24 But if I am the captain
00:49:26 and this is the situation of the Pakistan team,
00:49:28 I will back my players.
00:49:30 I won't change much.
00:49:32 I know we are not playing good cricket,
00:49:34 but I don't want to change every second game.
00:49:36 We will have to give Usama a chance.
00:49:38 He has been beaten up and
00:49:40 dropped the catch.
00:49:42 Please forgive him.
00:49:44 He was his first match.
00:49:46 I have another question for everyone.
00:49:48 Very good question.
00:49:50 His X-handle is
00:49:52 MMS6.
00:49:54 Do you see any
00:49:56 flaws in the captaincy
00:49:58 or is it just a team?
00:50:00 I don't want to...
00:50:04 See, that's the question.
00:50:06 If you address this question,
00:50:08 then somebody will say,
00:50:10 "Oh, he is not doing what you are doing."
00:50:12 Then you may answer.
00:50:14 The question is,
00:50:16 do you see any flaws in the
00:50:18 captaincy or is it just a team?
00:50:20 I think it's both of it.
00:50:22 It's not just the team.
00:50:24 It's the captain mix of both.
00:50:26 Decisions are not going well.
00:50:28 The captain's body language is not
00:50:30 coming up to the boys.
00:50:32 It's important to involve the
00:50:34 keeper and the captain.
00:50:36 Bowling changes are making mistakes.
00:50:38 Main bowlers are not over-bowling.
00:50:40 What does part-time mean?
00:50:42 It means that the ball will be part-time.
00:50:44 Main bowlers should be over-bowled.
00:50:46 It's okay in one-off.
00:50:48 If one or two main bowlers are not
00:50:50 bowling, you can get them to bowl eight or nine.
00:50:52 It's not a game where three main bowlers
00:50:54 don't finish their quota.
00:50:56 Areeb Hussain's question.
00:50:58 Sorry, you want to?
00:51:00 Please take this question.
00:51:02 Here it is.
00:51:04 When our spinners come to bowl,
00:51:06 we immediately move the mid-off and
00:51:08 mid-on fielder back and don't set a slip as well.
00:51:10 Is this a problem with the field placement?
00:51:12 Mizwa, this question is for you.
00:51:14 When no one is out at
00:51:16 150 or 130,
00:51:18 and already
00:51:20 the other team is on the attack,
00:51:22 you look at the situation
00:51:24 and take the field accordingly.
00:51:26 Although in that situation,
00:51:28 Babar has set a slip.
00:51:30 The catch dropped,
00:51:32 it's a different thing.
00:51:34 Like Smith, he set a slip.
00:51:36 But overall, I think
00:51:38 the field placements
00:51:40 you have to improve
00:51:42 on your plans.
00:51:44 You have to coordinate from the outside.
00:51:46 You have an analyst.
00:51:48 Support from outside is very important
00:51:50 for the team and the captain.
00:51:52 If you are stuck and you feel
00:51:54 that the execution is not right,
00:51:56 you have to be proactive
00:51:58 in these things.
00:52:00 30-40, in India,
00:52:02 it's very difficult.
00:52:04 It's not easy.
00:52:06 Bowling on these grounds,
00:52:08 and having a good batting is very difficult.
00:52:10 Australia has a top-class bowling lineup.
00:52:12 They have a lot of experience.
00:52:14 Their bowlers have more experience than Pakistan.
00:52:16 But despite that, you saw
00:52:18 that in one stage, the match was coming out of their hands.
00:52:20 But with experience,
00:52:22 changes,
00:52:24 field settings,
00:52:26 Pakistan took the wickets in the middle
00:52:28 and not only came back in the game,
00:52:30 but won.
00:52:32 So we will have to do this.
00:52:34 You will not win here with just a plan.
00:52:36 Yes, Wasim, you can bring this question.
00:52:38 I have a question.
00:52:40 What is the name of the X?
00:52:42 X-O-H-A-I-B
00:52:44 Zuhaib.
00:52:46 You have brought the Z,
00:52:48 don't make it modern.
00:52:50 And there is another Zafar, X-A-F-A-R.
00:52:52 Zuhaib Zafar.
00:52:54 The question is,
00:52:56 with this body language and intent,
00:52:58 I feel it will be hard to beat Akhwan on Chennai spinning track.
00:53:00 What are your thoughts?
00:53:02 We are concerned now.
00:53:04 How are we not?
00:53:06 I don't think Pakistan will have this much of a problem.
00:53:08 Pakistan has won the toss.
00:53:10 Like I said, first, we should bat.
00:53:12 But the question is,
00:53:14 Zuhaib with X,
00:53:16 he is saying that
00:53:18 with this body language and intent,
00:53:20 will we get stuck with Akhwanistan?
00:53:22 We are playing in Chennai.
00:53:24 If we get stuck,
00:53:26 I will say that the opponent is not as strong as Pakistan.
00:53:28 Naturally, here,
00:53:30 the body language is different.
00:53:32 He has given the defending champions an advice.
00:53:34 Yes, he has given an advice.
00:53:36 But the situation is,
00:53:38 who wins the toss,
00:53:40 we should explore.
00:53:42 Pakistan has won the toss,
00:53:44 we should bat.
00:53:46 Their batting in the second chasing is not good.
00:53:48 Alright.
00:53:50 Noman_Ali5003,
00:53:52 your question is on X.
00:53:54 Your question is,
00:53:56 can you please explain to me the role of
00:53:58 Mickey Arthur in this team?
00:54:00 Is he the coach or the cricket director?
00:54:02 Was he with the team
00:54:04 before arriving for the World Cup?
00:54:06 Or did he join the team after they arrived in India?
00:54:08 If so, why not with the team
00:54:10 right from the beginning?
00:54:12 Also, does the PCB
00:54:14 print its
00:54:16 salary structures on their
00:54:18 website or this is public fund,
00:54:20 this should be public, we should know how much
00:54:22 we are paying Mickey Arthur and other foreign coaches
00:54:24 and what they are giving to us in return.
00:54:26 There should be accountability, at least on this part.
00:54:28 Noman Ali's question.
00:54:30 I will bring this to you, Misfah.
00:54:32 The first thing,
00:54:34 the second part,
00:54:36 he is angry.
00:54:38 No, no, he is frustrated.
00:54:40 We are all here.
00:54:42 The first part is important.
00:54:44 He is the team director.
00:54:46 And mainly the concept is
00:54:48 that the major decisions
00:54:50 of making the team,
00:54:52 of running the team,
00:54:54 are his.
00:54:56 And he is executing that.
00:54:58 The rest of the coaching staff,
00:55:00 they are doing everything on his behalf.
00:55:02 So I think that's his role.
00:55:04 He is like a head coach
00:55:06 at the moment, you can call him that.
00:55:08 Named as team director
00:55:10 because of the coordination
00:55:12 with the selection committee
00:55:14 and picking the team
00:55:16 and all these things.
00:55:18 So he was with the team, he also has a question.
00:55:20 He came to the World Cup when Pakistan
00:55:22 went there.
00:55:24 He came to the first check-up for the first three days
00:55:26 and then went back.
00:55:28 He was tweeting about the derby match
00:55:30 and then when the team reached the World Cup
00:55:32 Pakistan came there after a day or two.
00:55:34 And the second thing is that
00:55:36 does the Pakistan Cricket Board give salaries
00:55:38 to foreign coaches on their website?
00:55:40 Because this should be public knowledge.
00:55:42 We need to know. It is public funds
00:55:44 that are being spent.
00:55:46 My grandmother used to tell me
00:55:48 that you are very nino-lan.
00:55:50 You have to ask everything
00:55:52 in every matter.
00:55:54 I don't know what was the point
00:55:56 that there are public funds
00:55:58 but I think whatever we have been taught
00:56:00 is not right.
00:56:02 We don't have public funds.
00:56:04 I am just saying why we want to know
00:56:06 how much money is being given to him.
00:56:08 Mohib Hussain,
00:56:10 Zueyb 86 and his ex-wife 86.
00:56:12 All the dismissals of Babar Azam
00:56:14 in this World Cup against
00:56:16 Netherlands, Sri Lanka and Australia
00:56:18 except the India match
00:56:20 were on the same field point
00:56:22 and all against spinners.
00:56:24 Why does he keep exposing his weakness
00:56:26 over and over again?
00:56:28 I would like to say this.
00:56:30 Babar uses his feet very well.
00:56:32 He has been out of the spinners.
00:56:34 Against Netherlands,
00:56:36 it was more or less similar
00:56:38 shot that we saw
00:56:40 against Australia.
00:56:42 Babar, you play
00:56:44 a very good spinner.
00:56:46 Use your feet.
00:56:48 Back yourself and you have
00:56:50 everything in you.
00:56:52 Alright, that's very very important.
00:56:54 Any last message for Team Pakistan?
00:56:56 The thing that
00:56:58 someone just asked
00:57:00 is very important for Pakistan.
00:57:02 What can be worse than this?
00:57:04 You are down but at least
00:57:06 play with intent.
00:57:08 Until we
00:57:10 don't come
00:57:12 aggressive with the body language,
00:57:14 we get beaten up.
00:57:16 But we give our best
00:57:18 when we play.
00:57:20 When the Pakistan team's body language
00:57:22 is on the field,
00:57:24 we come and charge,
00:57:26 attack, and at that time
00:57:28 we have a good fielding,
00:57:30 we do better bowling,
00:57:32 we take wickets, we bat well.
00:57:34 This is a missing part.
00:57:36 We have under-pressured ourselves
00:57:38 and went into the shell.
00:57:40 Today, right from the word go,
00:57:42 it felt like nothing was happening.
00:57:44 Just whatever happened,
00:57:46 we lost the match, it's fine.
00:57:48 Forget that. There are still 5 matches left.
00:57:50 You have to give your best
00:57:52 and give your best effort.
00:57:54 If we think that there is
00:57:56 pressure, then it is
00:57:58 going to get worse.
00:58:00 You should try
00:58:02 and still we have a chance.
00:58:04 If you win one more match,
00:58:06 suddenly all that confidence
00:58:08 will come back.
00:58:10 You have the chance in the next game.
00:58:12 Wasim, any thoughts?
00:58:14 No, I suppose you can't do anything about it.
00:58:16 The way you played today, you tried.
00:58:18 But again, I agree with Misbah and the rest of the
00:58:20 panelists that there are still a lot of matches left.
00:58:22 Try to focus on the next game.
00:58:24 Learn from your mistakes in this one.
00:58:26 It's easier said than done.
00:58:28 The sooner you learn from your mistake,
00:58:30 the better you'll become and the quicker
00:58:32 you'll improve your game.
00:58:34 Fight till the last ball.
00:58:36 This is a very important message.
00:58:38 Look, the matches,
00:58:40 you have mostly matches with big teams.
00:58:42 So there will be lots of
00:58:44 ups and downs during these games.
00:58:46 So don't give up.
00:58:48 Just give your best shot
00:58:50 and fight till the last ball.
00:58:52 Even if you get a long total, don't worry.
00:58:54 Our attack is so good, if we get a long total,
00:58:56 our batters can do it.
00:58:58 So until the 100 overs
00:59:00 are not over, don't give up.
00:59:02 Very important with that. Mohit, your final thoughts?
00:59:04 I think Babar or the team director
00:59:06 should give a pep talk to the boys here.
00:59:08 There is still an opportunity.
00:59:10 They have the fans who follow
00:59:12 the Pakistan team.
00:59:14 We are all fans.
00:59:16 There is still a little bit of
00:59:18 anger in the people.
00:59:20 You still have an opportunity
00:59:22 to come back in the World Cup.
00:59:24 Please create the passion
00:59:26 in the team and play with courage.
00:59:28 Thank you, gentlemen.
00:59:30 And once again, Shahino,
00:59:32 Parwaz is waiting for you.
00:59:34 And it's up to you now
00:59:36 to take flight.
00:59:38 We still got games. We still have a shot
00:59:40 at that semi-final spot.
00:59:42 And we are counting on you.
00:59:44 We know that King Babar
00:59:46 and his troops will start
00:59:48 taking these battles much more stronger
00:59:50 in the days ahead.
00:59:52 With that, a big congratulations to Australian fans
00:59:54 around the world and to Team Australia.
00:59:56 You played explosive
00:59:58 cricket and you were absolutely
01:00:00 and totally dominant and
01:00:02 outclassed Pakistan in every department today.
01:00:04 So congratulations to you.
01:00:06 With that, tomorrow is a big day here
01:00:08 at the ICC Men's World Cup.
01:00:10 Two matches tomorrow for you.
01:00:12 The first match is at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
01:00:14 The Netherlands will play
01:00:16 Sri Lanka. This will be the first match.
01:00:18 It will be a good match. Remember that
01:00:20 the Netherlands have beaten South Africa.
01:00:22 Sri Lanka is still in the hunt for some more wins.
01:00:24 They'd like to go with more points
01:00:26 and march on in this World Cup.
01:00:28 And the other game, the second match
01:00:30 that we will present to you
01:00:32 will start at 1.30 a.m.
01:00:34 England will play South Africa
01:00:36 from Mumbai. This will be a big match.
01:00:38 And it will be a spectacular match
01:00:40 because the remaining champions
01:00:42 are eager to
01:00:44 score victories.
01:00:46 South Africa is still in shock from the Netherlands.
01:00:48 They also want to get their momentum back.

01:00:52 at 8.30 a.m. for all of you
