00:00 Hello, good evening and welcome to the pavilion.
00:05 I am Fakhr-e-Anam and you are watching A Sports and Sports in the ARY Zapp app.
00:09 Our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 and the news out of Mumbai is that
00:15 South Africa have won their match and continue their march forward in this World Cup journey.
00:23 And Bangladesh humbled out by South Africa.
00:26 It was a great game of cricket.
00:28 Before we speak about that, let me bring into the conversation four of my very good friends,
00:34 panelists and the four former captains of Pakistan that joined me in this pavilion.
00:39 I've got Shoaib Balek.
00:40 Shoaib, good evening and Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:41 Good evening, Walekum As-salam, As-salam-o-Alaikum everyone.
00:44 Misbah Ul Haq.
00:45 Misbah, good evening and Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:46 Good evening, As-salam-o-Alaikum.
00:47 I've got Mohin Khan.
00:48 Mohin, good evening and Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:49 Good evening, Walekum As-salam, As-salam-o-Alaikum everyone.
00:50 And Wasim Akram.
00:51 Wasim, good evening and welcome.
00:52 As-salam-o-Alaikum.
00:53 And great to have you guys back here.
00:58 And with that, let's take a look at the match summary.
01:01 This is how it went down.
01:02 South Africa winning the toss today, electing to bat first and boy oh boy did they bat.
01:08 382 for the loss of five wickets in their 50 overs.
01:12 And it was Quintin De Kock, who was the player to watch out for Wasim Akram, scored 174 of
01:19 140 deliveries at 124% strike rate.
01:23 7 sixes, 15 fours, what an innings.
01:26 Klasen, they're missing out in that century.
01:28 He must be a little disappointed.
01:30 But Makram, they're also contributing with 60 and Miller, the killer, with 34.
01:35 Now nothing much to say about the Bangladeshi bowling.
01:38 Hassan, they're picking up the two wickets and then one each for Shaqib and Miraz.
01:42 Now in response, Bangladesh dismissed for 233 but Mahmood Allazi only battered from
01:48 Bangladesh side that actually put up any kind of resistance with that century.
01:53 111 runs, well done to him.
01:55 Koitse taking up three wickets there.
01:58 Hanson with two wickets and Rabada with two wickets.
02:01 South Africa winning this one by 149 runs.
02:04 So congratulations to South Africa.
02:07 Good win and they look really, really good.
02:11 And with that, it's time to take a look at the points table.
02:13 Right, here are points table.
02:16 South Africa now right at number two.
02:19 So basically India sitting with five wins, five games, five wins, ten points right on
02:24 top of the table.
02:25 But now South Africa is right behind them because their run rate has improved and has
02:29 surpassed New Zealand.
02:30 So they go to number two.
02:32 New Zealand go to number three.
02:34 Australia sit at number four.
02:37 Pakistan at number five.
02:39 Afghanistan at number six.
02:42 And then you have Netherlands at seven.
02:45 Sri Lanka at eight.
02:46 England at nine.
02:48 And Bangladesh now at the last spot there.
02:52 That's how the points table is looking.
02:53 Remember that the top four teams will play the semifinals.
02:56 What a great batting display there by South Africa, Wasim.
02:59 Another great batting display by South Africa.
03:01 Unbelievable.
03:02 So impressive.
03:03 Quinton de Kock to me, he's one of the best openers in world cricket.
03:07 The way he bats, aggressive, early on they struggled a bit.
03:10 They were 44 for 2 in their first 10 overs.
03:13 But boy oh boy, that guy played some exceptional shots.
03:17 Seven sixes, 15 fourths, strike rate of 124.28.
03:23 Look at the shot selection.
03:25 Look at the control and the reverse lap, you name it.
03:29 Pull in front of square, behind square, equally good against the off spinner.
03:34 And you know, it was an ordeal for the bowling, Bangladeshi bowling and for the whole team.
03:42 And then, game over then, of course.
03:44 And then of course, the Klassen came and he was actually the last nail in the coffin for
03:51 the Bangladeshi bowling.
03:52 And once they scored that mammoth total of 382, it was only a matter of time.
03:59 And at times, I felt, look at his wagon wheel or whatever you call it, his Manhattan.
04:07 Unbelievable performance.
04:08 This is the third century in a row, kind of, I mean third century in this World Cup.
04:13 Except for one miss out that he had.
04:15 If he scores two more, he'll equal Rohit Sharma's record which he scored in 2019 in England.
04:21 I do feel for the boys, Bangladeshi boys, I felt on the stage in the last 10 overs,
04:26 that Reshma is stuck with the goons.
04:28 I could see the captain is going up and you know, time is ticking.
04:32 He doesn't even finish the over in this situation.
04:35 Shrebi?
04:36 When South African batters utilize 50 overs, when they get a little start, especially when
04:43 they bat first, they play 20 overs on an average of 6, 5 or 6.
04:50 They play ODI cricket.
04:52 From 21st over till the 40th over, they play T20.
04:57 Because that's how the stats are.
04:59 Then in the last 10 overs, they play T10.
05:02 You see, they scored 194 in the 11th over till the 40th over.
05:05 So, first 20 overs ODI cricket, next 20 overs T20, and in the last 10 overs, they play T10.
05:10 That's a nice way of breaking it up.
05:13 That's a very nice way of breaking it up.
05:14 So, their average stats in this World Cup, when they bat first, they're saying the same.
05:20 First 20 overs, they say, "Okay, play on an average of 5, 6.
05:25 In the next 20 overs, they play T10.
05:29 Actually, South Africa started this World Cup last night, right?
05:33 Yes.
05:34 I hope it doesn't happen this way.
05:36 Let's talk about Klassen.
05:41 Moin, another outstanding innings by Klassen.
05:43 He missed his century today.
05:45 But his strike rate was 183.67.
05:51 183.67!
05:53 What kind of cricket is this?
05:55 The way he's playing, it seems like cricket has become very easy.
05:59 He's seeing football.
06:01 The way he's hitting shots, so many outstanding hits, so many clean hits.
06:05 I haven't seen so many clean hits.
06:09 And this kind of bowling, the bowling isn't that bad.
06:13 I think the way he's batting throughout the tournament, he dominates everywhere.
06:17 He hits every shot.
06:19 Now, there are very rare batsmen in the world who hit this game straight for a six.
06:25 This was an over pitch.
06:27 But what a player he is.
06:29 After a long time, I've never seen a hitter in international cricket who hits so clean.
06:35 When I was watching the last 10 overs on my own,
06:41 and I realized one thing.
06:43 Let's have a look at the pitch-map once the camera comes.
06:47 The deliveries that Klassen has faced,
06:49 and the boundaries, the blue ones are the boundaries.
06:51 Sorry, yes.
06:53 The deliveries that he has played in his previous innings,
06:59 there are many batters who have a good balance on their legs, but their arm speed is not the same.
07:05 So, somewhere, he has to compensate for most of the batters.
07:09 But in his case, there's a very good thing.
07:13 The better the balance on both his legs, the better his arm speed is.
07:17 That's why you see, the shots that he hits, the short of length balls,
07:23 he hits them because the balance is so good.
07:27 And the arm speed is very good.
07:29 And because of the balance, the last one we saw,
07:33 but there's a small feet movement, and then the arms move.
07:37 And I think, these are blessings.
07:41 And on top of that, there's form, there's balance, there's arm speed,
07:46 there's game awareness, there's a platform, and then you're safe.
07:51 So, I was saying, I was watching the last ten overs of Bangladesh,
07:54 and Mustafizur, Hassan, and Sharaful, they bowled actually not bad.
08:00 So, I realized, I have noted this very carefully,
08:04 when I was sitting alone, I realized that as a bowler, it is difficult nowadays.
08:08 In our time, the batters used to stand outside the crease,
08:13 very few, hardly any, who used to stand inside the crease, and in front of the wickets.
08:19 You see, now as a bowler, I'm running, I'm aiming for the wickets,
08:23 if that Yorker doesn't hit, there's a low full toss, because he's standing inside the crease.
08:28 And the low full toss is also a good thing.
08:30 In our time, this was a safety ball, the low full toss.
08:33 Nowadays, the technique that has changed,
08:35 the way they've gone inside the crease,
08:37 I suppose, your idea of the Yorker has also made a big difference to the bowlers,
08:42 that where do I have to do the Yorker, where is he standing.
08:45 If you remember, I used to tell you, tell me, is he standing inside the crease or outside?
08:52 As a keeper, I used to adjust my Yorker or length ball in that way.
08:58 So, I hope nowadays, the bowlers think like this.
09:01 Low full toss is a lap shot, like Mr. Wasim Bhai says, he hits very well.
09:05 No, no, I'm not talking about 2007.
09:10 No, no, he hits very well, like Mr. Wasim Bhai says, a lap shot, low full toss.
09:18 Now, let's talk about Miller the Killer.
09:20 Miller the Killer has bowled with a strike rate of 226.66.
09:26 What kind of batting is this?
09:28 What he's doing.
09:31 This is a teacher's batting.
09:34 Look at this, you can't see the back-lift.
09:38 He has worked a lot on his bat speed.
09:42 His hand speed is so good that he generates power from there.
09:49 These are the balls that normally batsmen go for a strong bat,
09:53 but his bat is so fast that the ball goes out in the flow.
09:58 Because of which he gets extra time for the pace ball.
10:02 He is supremely fit.
10:04 You can see the way he is, the way his physique is.
10:07 Four arms and shoulders.
10:09 We were in the same team in the Major League.
10:12 He is not fit at all.
10:14 He is not fit at all.
10:16 He runs mid-on to mid-on in the 20 overs.
10:20 He runs mid-on to mid-on in the 20 overs.
10:24 He has also got a chance to bat.
10:28 Running between the wickets.
10:30 If you take a shot from the corner and make a two,
10:33 he comes to you.
10:35 He is not fit at all.
10:37 Let's take a break.
10:42 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
10:48 I am Fakhranam. You are watching A Sports.
10:50 10 Sports in the ARY Zap app and our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup.
10:53 The news out of Mumbai.
10:54 South Africa winning this game.
10:56 Bangladesh losing another one.
10:58 But there was an interesting thing.
11:00 When the post-match interview took place,
11:02 the captain of Bangladesh, Shakeel Bilhasan said something very important.
11:05 That the remaining matches are still very important.
11:08 The reason for that is that if your team is in the top 8,
11:12 the team in the top 4 will play the semi-final.
11:14 If they don't come in the top 8, they don't qualify for the next World Cup.
11:17 You will have to play the qualifiers.
11:19 So, interesting point that he raised.
11:21 But Wasim, you said in the pre-match that Mahmood Ullah is such an experienced player.
11:26 He is played so badly.
11:28 Today, coincidentally, he got the chance and he cut the century.
11:31 I said this in the previous match.
11:33 I said this before as well.
11:34 But you got the chance today.
11:36 One thing I don't understand.
11:38 How come Bangladesh Cricket Board and Cricket Authorities
11:41 haven't been able to produce any better in the last 5-7 years.
11:44 I mean, Litan Das, I have been watching him for the last 6-7 years.
11:47 I have been watching Mahmood Ullah, Mushfiqur, Shakib.
11:50 Shanto has played more than 70 international games and tests.
11:54 One day, he got a T20.
11:56 So, that shows that when they play at home,
11:59 they are used to maybe batting on those slow decks like you mentioned, Shoaib.
12:03 Slow turners, low and slow.
12:05 But their fast bowling is now quite impressive.
12:08 They are young boys.
12:09 They have been beaten today.
12:10 Especially, Hassan.
12:13 Hassan Mahmood, 6 overs, 67, 11 and over.
12:17 I like his action.
12:18 I think he has got a high arm action.
12:20 He will get a little bit of energy and muscle.
12:22 Maybe he will get a little bit faster.
12:23 That too, playing first class cricket.
12:25 But, yeah.
12:27 You know, it's just too full.
12:29 The seam looks good.
12:30 But probably a bit inexperienced and big stage.
12:34 And playing against the best of the best.
12:36 It takes a lot out of you as a young kid.
12:39 And if the whole team is getting hammered for almost 400 runs,
12:42 it's only a matter of time that they will attack you as well.
12:46 But for the future, Bangladesh Cricket Board really have to invest in their first class structure
12:52 and take their first class structure really seriously.
12:54 Because the passion of the game in Bangladesh is immense.
12:58 Immense, yeah. Absolutely.
13:00 Coming back to Mahmood Allah.
13:02 Nice innings by him today, Misma.
13:04 Good century.
13:05 Looked very composed.
13:06 Looked in control.
13:07 Yes, absolutely.
13:08 He played very well.
13:10 He played two centuries in 2015, there as well.
13:13 And played a great 100 against England.
13:16 I think he looked comfortable against pace and the kind of shots he played.
13:21 He dominated.
13:22 Very good.
13:23 It was his third century in the World Cup.
13:27 He played in 2015 and today.
13:29 And he played against good opposition there as well.
13:32 So overall, like we said earlier, Bangladesh is wasting them.
13:38 They are at number 7.
13:40 When the match is almost over, they come to play again.
13:42 In this World Cup, Misma, they are playing at 6, 7 and 8.
13:44 3 numbers.
13:45 They are playing at 7, 8.
13:47 And when you have such a good form and your team is struggling,
13:52 I think you should utilize it.
13:55 It's okay that you gave them a role of a finisher.
13:59 But if your team needs it, why not change that?
14:02 What's the use of a finisher, guys, if you have 4 out on 40?
14:05 40 for 4 and the finisher can't do anything about it.
14:08 The informed batter has more opportunities.
14:11 And he is technically very correct.
14:13 And he is a proper batter.
14:15 He has played with all the shots.
14:17 Especially the pick-up shots, the shots from the extra cover,
14:23 the sixes in front, he is a complete cricketer and has a lot of experience.
14:28 A small advice to the management of Bangladesh.
14:31 Sure.
14:32 Look at the camera.
14:33 Look at the pavilion.
14:35 You are very smart.
14:38 It's time for a break.
14:40 Keep watching The Pavilion on A Sports N Sports and the AYZ App.
14:43 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
14:49 I am Fakhr-e-Anam and you are watching A Sports N Sports and the AYZ App.
14:52 Our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023.
14:54 News out of Mumbai.
14:55 South Africa winning this one.
14:56 And Bangladesh, well, they are still in the game.
14:58 And they want to win the other games that they have ahead of them.
15:01 Alright, the way forward for Bangladesh.
15:03 Moin.
15:04 The way forward was already set by Bangladesh.
15:06 The way they have calculated it, it will be number one very soon.
15:12 The mistake that is happening here, it seems that the tournament will be out.
15:18 But the Champions Trophy mistake, the captain also mentioned it.
15:22 I think the top order, Waseem has also mentioned it.
15:26 The batsmen are not being established.
15:28 In the meantime, new batsmen will have to be established.
15:31 Or old players like Tameem, if they understand that Bangladesh has a lot of cricket left.
15:36 They should bring such players to the team, who can become match winners.
15:40 And according to media reports, the news that came, the coach/captain and the problem in Tameem,
15:49 that's why he was dropped.
15:51 And the team is a little nervous about that, apparently.
15:53 That's what the media is saying in Bangladesh.
15:55 I hope that's not the case. Once you're selected, once you're on the World Cup, you forget what happened there.
16:00 But Tameem being the main player, they definitely missed him.
16:03 And the way forward in the pavilion is a break.
16:07 Welcome back to the pavilion.
16:12 I'm Fakhr-e-Alam, you're watching Sports and Sports and the AYSAP app.
16:14 And our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup.
16:17 The news out of Mumbai is that South Africa have won their game against Bangladesh.
16:21 And moving on, marching on in this World Cup.
16:23 In the pavilion, I'm joined by four Pakistani former captains.
16:26 Outstanding minds of the cricket game.
16:28 And four gentlemen who served the game really well, Pakistan really well.
16:31 I've got Shoaib Malik, Miss Fawlaq, Wain Khan and Wasim Akram.
16:34 #AskThePavilion, it's coming up on your screen now.
16:38 #AskThePavilion.
16:39 Now, I was announcing this before the break, but I can see that there's a lot of questions already coming in, pouring in.
16:45 So I'm going to start with these questions.
16:47 Let's talk to all our friends about this.
16:50 The first question for #AskThePavilion is from Green Brigade.
16:55 Green Brigade says,
16:58 "While the current World Cup format is a welcome change over the last edition and perhaps the best format to play and should be persisted with going forward,
17:07 a consistent winning team could have one bad day and be knocked out during the semi-final clash.
17:14 With that in mind, should ICC consider the franchise cricket kind of final stages format, that is the top two teams playoff eliminators?"
17:23 And basically this is their question.
17:25 So this is from the Green Brigade. What do you think?
17:27 I understand where Green Brigade is coming from.
17:30 I exactly understand. I had the same kind of question in my mind before the World Cup.
17:35 But then I realized that this is a 45-day event.
17:38 It's been a year since we've been here.
17:40 It's just too long, but I agree with you.
17:44 It's not fair that you qualified after winning against all four teams and suddenly one bad day and you're out.
17:51 You don't have the second chance. I'm with you on that.
17:54 Alright, so Green Brigade, you have your answer there.
17:56 Next question is from Saad Pasha.
17:59 "After yesterday's defeat and likely early exit from the World Cup,
18:02 is it also not time for us to accept that we are no longer a tier one side in the longer formats
18:06 and that there will need to be a prolonged rebuilding phase from the grassroots in P.K. Pakistan cricket?"
18:12 S.A. Pasha, S.A. Pasha is your ex-handle.
18:17 Gentlemen, open for discussion.
18:19 Misbah, you can go. You can go.
18:23 He's saying that... Alright, you've heard the question. So go ahead.
18:26 Yes, yes, absolutely.
18:27 Look, if we're talking about the top level, we have to fix things at the bottom.
18:34 The way T20 cricket is being prioritised,
18:40 the priority is being given so much that everywhere T20 cricket,
18:43 even if you look at the club cricket, you won't see a big tournament of 40 overs or 45 overs,
18:51 where you'll see T20 cricket.
18:53 That's why we're having a problem.
18:56 There's no spinner that can consistently bowl at one place,
18:59 no fast bowler that can build pressure.
19:02 In T20 cricket, you have to change the length, you have to vary the pace.
19:07 If you bowl at one place, you'll get hit the most.
19:10 Similarly, when you develop skills in batting,
19:14 the longer you bat, the more your technique and temperament develop.
19:20 Then you play different shots for a longer period of time,
19:25 and you become confident in that as well.
19:28 There's no doubt that we have to improve this cricket.
19:32 We have one one-day tournament throughout the year.
19:36 Now that the department is here, there'll be another one.
19:38 How many matches do you get per player?
19:41 We'll get at most 6, 7 or 8 matches per year.
19:46 Then how will you develop the players for one-day?
19:49 We have to think about this.
19:52 But at the top level, I believe we can address the short-term issues.
20:00 If we get top 25-30 players, we can groom them,
20:06 get them to prepare for the matches,
20:09 at least prepare them for the National High Performance Centre,
20:13 and at least get them ready for the short-term solution.
20:20 We can also add something to this.
20:23 Like your Pakistan cricket team,
20:25 and your Shaheen's, which is called the A-Team,
20:28 we can get them to play against each other.
20:30 We can have a pool of 40-45 players,
20:33 and if a domestic outstanding performer comes forward,
20:38 we can add him to the pool.
20:40 We can create something like this,
20:43 so that we can improve in this format as well.
20:46 There are similar examples in Australia.
20:48 In the Tri Series, two Australian teams played.
20:51 Australia and Australia.
20:53 They had played this experience.
20:55 They had beaten England and the UK team as well.
20:58 At one stage, Blue Whet, Lehman, all these guys were playing in Australia.
21:02 We can add one-day to domestic cricket as well.
21:06 So that it can be a fitness.
21:08 We have played this before.
21:11 We can play a four-day match and then play the next day.
21:14 We can do that as well.
21:18 But we have separated it.
21:21 As soon as the four-day final is over,
21:23 all the regions will play one-day tournaments.
21:29 Then the departments will play.
21:31 But I still believe that the number of matches is very low.
21:35 We need more exposure.
21:37 We need more competitive cricket.
21:39 I have a question for Moheed Qureshi with K.
21:41 Question to Shoaib Bhai.
21:44 Why is there no quality off-spinner in Pakistan?
21:46 Haven't seen Ajmal, Seclan type spinner for a long time now.
21:50 What is PCB doing to resolve this issue?
21:53 I think we have spinners in Pakistan.
21:58 But as Mr. Babai also mentioned,
22:02 we have gone towards T20.
22:05 If we look at the T20s all over the world,
22:08 we will find off-spinners who bat with the players.
22:14 We will find off-spinners like the left-arm spinner,
22:18 the centiner, the maharaj.
22:20 We don't even have conventional off-spinners.
22:24 We have the Australian off-spinners.
22:27 Nathan Lyon?
22:28 Yes, Nathan Lyon.
22:29 We have Graham Swan in England.
22:32 We will have to make pitches
22:35 where we have spinners in our domestic cricket.
22:39 Then we will have spinners.
22:41 Not just off-spinners, we will have wrist spinners.
22:43 We will have left-arm spinners.
22:44 We used to play first class with PIA or any department we played with over the years.
22:49 Sometimes when we had time, we used to play first class.
22:52 Then we had left-arm spinners in opposition.
22:55 Right-arm leg spinners, off-spinners.
22:57 And quality. What is quality?
22:59 The biggest reason is that we don't have spinners in one-day cricket.
23:05 Why did we have spinners in the past?
23:07 In four-day cricket, you used to get pitches like this.
23:11 You used to get different types of pitches in different venues.
23:15 In Bahawalpur, you had to play spin.
23:18 You had to play 2-3 spinners.
23:21 In Hyderabad, you used to get spin pitches in Faisalabad.
23:25 I have already mentioned that in Bahawalpur.
23:29 When you used to get different pitches, you used to get a role.
23:32 You used to perform in that role.
23:34 You used to face batsmen.
23:36 And when a spinner used to come from four-day cricket,
23:39 then in one-day cricket, a four-day spinner doesn't have a problem.
23:43 He knows that I have to bowl at one place.
23:46 I have to do variation. I have to deceive the batsman.
23:49 I won't have a discipline issue.
23:51 Even a fast bowler won't have a discipline issue.
23:53 The easiest solution that Abhishek has told us,
23:56 is to maintain the standard of pitches.
23:59 You should have similar types of pitches in all the venues.
24:04 Naturally, you will get fast bowlers and spinners.
24:07 You will get the type of players you want.
24:09 And you have to give preference to the longer version of bowlers,
24:15 fast bowlers or spinners who have performed in one-day selection.
24:18 You have to give preference to them.
24:20 One more interesting thing, just out of this, I'll just add here is that
24:23 Pakistan's team has no ODI schedule for the next year after this World Cup.
24:32 Not a single one-day international schedule.
24:35 We don't need to play so well in this World Cup.
24:38 Oh my goodness!
24:40 We are talking about this World Cup being long.
24:43 The World Cup of 2027 will be played by 14 teams.
24:46 Yes, exactly.
24:47 And the next year will be a full-time job.
24:50 We will have to shave three times in a day.
24:53 Sorry, this is a question from Babar Salim.
24:56 If Wasim Akram is offered a role,
24:58 Sorry, this is from your ex-handler,
25:00 Lincoln3786, Babar Salim.
25:02 If Wasim Akram is offered a role of Chairman of the PCB,
25:05 would he accept?
25:06 If yes, what he shall do in the first seven days?
25:09 Can I answer this?
25:11 No.
25:12 Right, Wasim?
25:14 I don't think so. I can be any help if I become a PCB Chairman.
25:19 But hypothetically, if we see,
25:21 we will understand in the first seven days.
25:23 We will speak to every head of the department.
25:25 How does this beast work?
25:28 If it works at all.
25:31 And then you go on to do what you got to do.
25:34 You have to have the right team, right people.
25:36 Loyal people. Loyal to their country.
25:39 Loyal to the organization you are working for.
25:43 Alright, with that we are going to take a break right here on The Pavilion.
25:45 But you guys keep sending your questions to #AskThePavilion.
25:49 We will keep answering them. Don't go away, keep watching.
25:51 Welcome back to The Pavilion. I am Fakhr-e-Alam.
25:57 You are watching Airsports and Sports in the Airways app.
25:59 And #AskThePavilion continues.
26:02 The question has come from Mughiz Salim.
26:04 Mughiz Salim, Muhammad_Mughiz is your ex-handler.
26:08 And you are saying,
26:09 "Panel, it's highly requested, especially Waseem Akram,
26:12 that please make one show just for Yorkers.
26:15 For bowlers. As I watch plenty of shows on TV,
26:18 but not even a single anchor or player
26:21 raised a voice on our bowlers' Yorker delivery. Why?"
26:24 I don't understand the question.
26:27 He is saying, "Show us about Yorkers.
26:29 Why don't we get to see the Yorkers we used to see in the past?
26:32 And the young boys who want to play, they can learn more about it."
26:35 Sure, hopefully, in the next program, we ask our producers/directors
26:39 to find out a pitch map, the whole tournament so far of Pakistani bowlers,
26:44 and see how many Yorkers they have bowled so far.
26:46 And we also need to see your time videos,
26:48 when you used to bowl Yorkers, when I used to bowl Yorkers.
26:51 I don't know the stats.
26:52 If we get some visuals, then you can at least explain.
26:56 The question is from Abdul Rehman.
26:59 He has asked you specifically.
27:00 Abdul Rehman5616 is your ex-handle.
27:05 He is saying, "Misbah Bhai, I have a question about today's match.
27:10 Was the match a trap?"
27:12 (Laughter)
27:14 This is right.
27:16 The match was not a trap.
27:18 The Bangladesh team was a trap.
27:20 I have a question now.
27:21 It's a question from Naomi Ahmed.
27:23 I am not taking his name, his ID.
27:26 But, "Hey Fakhriyalam Bhai, great show. My question is for Misbah.
27:31 If PCB offers Misbah the role of head coach, will he accept?
27:35 That's the first part.
27:36 The second part is, will he continue with Babar Azam as a captain?"
27:40 We will see when the time comes.
27:43 He is a very diplomatic uncle.
27:47 He should be the Director International.
27:51 You think?
27:52 I think so.
27:53 I think so. We need somebody like him somewhere.
27:55 First, ask the people.
27:57 You will ask the people.
27:59 One more thing.
28:00 Before I forget.
28:02 When we were talking about Pakistan,
28:05 we were losing and criticizing.
28:07 We were trying to find solutions.
28:10 We are also Pakistani.
28:12 I have said it many times.
28:13 When Pakistan wins, everybody is happy.
28:16 Everybody is a winner.
28:17 The sponsors, ourselves, the television channels, you guys.
28:20 Most importantly, you guys.
28:22 But, you guys are so free.
28:25 You know, so many people.
28:27 You were coming from Bangladesh in 1999.
28:29 That was 30 years ago.
28:30 Apologize.
28:31 Move on.
28:34 Today, present.
28:36 And these are the same people who have 2 posts and 3 followers.
28:42 4 followers and 2 posts.
28:44 The same people we had mentioned.
28:46 Shajar Aynasab, many of them.
28:48 We know who they are.
28:50 I just want to say one more thing.
28:52 You are coming from Bangladesh, not Afghanistan.
28:54 If you play in the finals,
28:56 and reach the finals, we have no problem.
28:58 But, you know, this is no comparison.
29:01 Apples and oranges.
29:02 I would, I am sorry.
29:04 No, I agree.
29:05 I am sorry that, you know, this happens.
29:07 So, please.
29:08 We have a few journalists.
29:11 Instead of talking about cricket today,
29:14 they reach 40 years ago.
29:17 Your job is to talk about cricket yesterday, what happened.
29:20 Not what happened 50 years ago.
29:22 Well, actually, there are just too many dimensions that are,
29:26 you know, always at play in our unfortunate landscape here.
29:31 Anyway, sir, I am Pakistan cricket team.
29:34 Nothing is wrong.
29:35 Just go to your domestic and find the young talent.
29:37 But selection criteria should be fielding priority.
29:40 Just bring one aggressive opener.
29:42 No one will beat you.
29:43 Ali Abbas.
29:44 Ali A. Zaidi is your handle.
29:48 Gentlemen, comment if you would like to.
29:50 Aggressive opener and…
29:52 If we are discussing about Herschel Gips,
29:56 before coming to the show,
29:58 he identified some things.
30:01 I don't know if he is or not.
30:04 I guess, these are matches now.
30:09 We should focus on them.
30:11 And whatever happens after that,
30:14 I hope the team reaches the semifinals.
30:16 I hope they do.
30:17 I hope they win.
30:18 Amen.
30:19 So, when the team comes back,
30:21 we should talk about it.
30:23 I don't think there is any answer to it yet.
30:26 Okay, Zahid Rasool.
30:27 Zahid's question.
30:28 I have received it from Facebook.
30:29 He is asking, "Misbah, I have a question for you."
30:32 My question is for Misbah bhai.
30:33 Mahmoodullah wants to play at number 3 or 4.
30:36 So, why is Iftikhar Ahmed being played at number 7 or 8?
30:43 Babar is our captain.
30:44 Can't he change his position?
30:46 Please answer.
30:47 So, basically, I think I asked you this question myself as well.
30:51 Can't we make Iftikhar play at number 7 or 8?
30:53 I think the answer to that question will be the same.
30:55 You tell me.
30:56 Look, there are two things.
30:58 One is, Iftikhar, he is good against fast bowlers.
31:03 He hits really well.
31:06 And the way he finishes at the end,
31:08 I don't think anyone else in Pakistan has that power.
31:13 At this time, our present Lord is playing.
31:17 So, we tried a lot of boys at number 6,
31:22 but there was no consistency there.
31:25 And there was no effectiveness like Iftikhar is doing.
31:29 And the other players, normally you have players who build other innings.
31:34 Iftikhar plays at number 4 in domestic and has an average of 50.
31:40 He is a very good player.
31:41 He has done runs in all kinds of situations.
31:44 He plays first class.
31:45 Technically, he is a better player.
31:48 He has done good average and good runs in first class.
31:51 But there is a little team requirement.
31:53 And lately, we have seen that in the spin games,
31:56 in the middle overs, in the rotation,
31:59 he has not been able to do it easily.
32:02 Especially in the wrist spin games.
32:04 This could be a reason why the team has not been able to save him from the middle overs.
32:10 Where he is effective in the last 10-12 overs.
32:13 He is the most dangerous player in this team.
32:16 And we need him.
32:17 So, we utilize him at that number.
32:20 One thing we can do is,
32:21 Iftikhar, if he doesn't get out of the top early,
32:24 even if he doesn't play,
32:26 but if he does, and he gets out early,
32:28 then if a player like Mishra Bhai, who is a wrist spinner,
32:31 has a little bit of strike rotation,
32:33 then he should play his game.
32:35 Because when he starts hitting, he gets hit by shots.
32:38 Then you have strike rotation, and then the bowler is like this.
32:41 I just remembered a story here.
32:43 Our Radha San, he had done 5-6 outs.
32:49 So, he had a friend who came to bat.
32:52 He was in the second team.
32:53 He was the batter for the 9th and 10th over.
32:55 So, he said, "Look, I will definitely get you out.
33:00 There is no point in wasting time.
33:02 Don't put pressure on me."
33:04 He said, "Okay, leave the flight."
33:05 He left the flight, and he said, "Ta, chikka."
33:08 Radha San looked at him.
33:10 He said, "Payan, changiya galla nahi."
33:13 He said, "Okay, now I am in trouble.
33:15 Then leave the flight."
33:17 He left the flight, and then he went to him.
33:19 He said, "Payan, you are a single,
33:21 I will get you out."
33:23 (Laughter)
33:25 This is it.
33:27 Okay, a little bit, gentlemen, very interesting.
33:29 This is again on my Facebook that I will share this.
33:32 Mohit Khanna has a message from India.
33:35 It's a little long, so be patient.
33:37 But I think, Basim, Mohin, all of you would really like, appreciate this.
33:41 So, Mohit Khanna has mentioned himself in the first part.
33:43 I will shortlist what he is saying.
33:45 My name is Mohit Khanna from India, Amritsar.
33:49 Former cricket administrator.
33:51 I was manager for Punjab Kings XI in the IPL 2012.
33:53 I was also the Team India 2011 World Cup semi-final,
33:57 local manager for the semi-final in Mohali,
33:59 which won with Pakistan.
34:01 Just wanted to send you my compliments to this program.
34:04 There is a huge difference between India and Pakistan in terms of domestic cricket.
34:09 Here, it starts from February and ends around the first class cricket.
34:13 Under 16, under 19, under 23, and finally seniors.
34:17 From junior levels, we have to play a fixed number of days.
34:21 50 overs and 20 overs also.
34:24 Different grade.
34:26 All players from juniors are now given full, comfortable, air-conditioned accommodation,
34:30 air-conditioned travel at district level.
34:33 And interstate is by air.
34:35 After junior tournament, the senior first class cricket selection happens.
34:39 From the junior tournament, the first class senior selection happens.
34:43 Seniors also have to play 50 overs and 20 overs cricket.
34:48 And that ends right before the IPL starts in April.
34:52 And then the IPL franchises can choose from the first class cricketers
34:57 who to bring into the IPL and all that.
34:59 So this is a very good structure.
35:01 They have also mentioned the Ranji Trophy.
35:03 And this is what he says,
35:06 "Because of this policy, it creates a huge difference.
35:09 We have hundreds of players who can compete at any level."
35:14 This is from Mohit Khanna from India.
35:17 Congratulations, Mohit.
35:19 This is the proper way that's how cricket should be run.
35:21 So well done, India, the BCCI, everybody involved.
35:24 Now see how they told us about under 19, under 16.
35:28 They play 20 overs, 50 overs, and then the seniors come.
35:31 Then the first class senior team selection happens.
35:34 Then the IPL scouts come in.
35:39 The IPL team has such a big tournament.
35:41 The scouts, especially the young ones, keep an eye on the boys.
35:45 And you can see the results now.
35:47 One thing I want to say about the Ranji Trophy,
35:49 the players who play the Ranji Trophy,
35:51 they are given such a salary that they don't have to worry about a job.
35:55 Playing any leagues.
35:57 We talk about exposure. What is exposure?
36:00 This is the exposure.
36:04 This is the exposure.
36:05 It runs the whole year.
36:06 It starts the whole year it's happening.
36:08 The whole year.
36:09 And also they provide enough resources for an athlete.
36:14 And Shebi, don't forget, they have domestic leagues apart from the BCCI T20 league.
36:20 They do IPL on the side, that's too big.
36:23 Then they also have Karnataka Premier League and I think Chennai Premier League.
36:28 They have 2-3 strong leagues which show star sports.
36:32 And these players get paid there as well.
36:35 A handsome amount of money.
36:36 And they do get paid.
36:38 And they do get paid in the end.
36:40 Oh, you're talking about that.
36:42 One small thing, this is the first time that our season is ongoing.
36:48 In this season, a private league has been given permission, the T20 league.
36:53 Which will be on a large scale, in which domestic players,
36:58 who are not in the domestic season, will be released.
37:01 So this thing influences the political chairman.
37:05 So this is a very important issue.
37:08 You've talked about it very deeply.
37:09 It's not deep, it's important to talk about it.
37:11 It's important to discuss this, that in the ongoing first class season,
37:15 to give NUC to a private league, I think that's just not right.
37:19 I have a question from Kafil Azam.
37:22 He has a question, "Waseem bhai, what was the role of the cricket board in the 80s and 90s?
37:27 Were there any such storms of misbehaviour, like there are now?"
37:31 Kafil, no, in our time, I think there were chairmen,
37:35 there were board secretaries,
37:37 and mostly, when I played for the first time in 1984-85,
37:41 there were 4 people on the board, 5.
37:43 And now there are about 800-1000 people who work for the cricket board.
37:46 And everyone is working very hard.
37:48 Apparently, yeah.
37:49 But obviously times have changed.
37:51 I'm talking about 30-40 years ago, different mindset.
37:54 But it was easier, life was easier then for us guys.
37:56 You just have to contact the secretary of the board,
37:58 Mustafa sahab utahte if I remember,
38:00 ticket ke liye, passport visa ke liye, and that was it, and then go play.
38:03 And then from there, our captain either Javed bhai or Imran bhai used to take over.
38:08 Alright.
38:09 Mohammad Sabahuddin ka sawal hai, AASA Pavilion mein.
38:13 "Akhar bhai, what are the options for Pakistan to qualify for semi-final?
38:17 Or minimum points required?"
38:19 Kisne kiya aise ke upar mathematics?
38:21 Abhi kiya nahi, lekin jo thodi bahut samajh aari hai,
38:23 wo yeh hai ke you got 4 games left.
38:26 So minimum you have to win 3 games,
38:29 taake aapke 10 points jo hai, wo ho sakein.
38:32 To net run rate pe baat aa jaye.
38:35 Wo doosri teams bhi, jaise England hai, ya Australia hai,
38:39 yeh do teams aise hai, ke inko bhi apne matches haarne chahiye.
38:42 Australia se humara match ho chuka hai,
38:44 England se jeetna bahut zaruri hai,
38:46 South Africa jo hai, wo kaafi upar jaa chuka hai,
38:48 New Zealand aur India jo hai, wo already top pe hai.
38:52 To aapko, agar 4 jeet jate hain, then I guess 60-70% you're like through in the last 4.
38:59 Alright, we'll talk more about that, but right now we're gonna take a break.
39:01 But when we come back, there's more on the other side.
39:04 Welcome back to The Pavilion, mein hum Fakhr-e-Alam.
39:10 Aap dekh rahe hain, Sports and Sports and the ARY Zap app.
39:13 Mohin, aap ne ek bada acha point abhi raise kiya,
39:16 ke ayn first class season ke beech mein,
39:18 ek private league ko jo hai, wo NOC de di gayi hai.
39:21 To abhi break mein, mujhe itla aayi hai, pata chala hai,

39:28 wo brand ambassador hain ek team ke,
39:30 wo bhi khel rahe hain uss league mein,
39:31 Shoaib Malik bhi khel rahe hain uss league mein,
39:33 Wasim bhi ek team ke, wo hai,
39:35 Same, same, same.
39:36 Same mein, same mein.
39:37 Miss Ba bhi jo hai uss mein.
39:38 To question ke hai,
39:40 Question yeh ke, yeh aap, inse kyu nahi pooshte,
39:42 yeh log kyu?
39:43 Aap pooshne wale to aap bete hain,
39:45 aap pooshne bete hain, aapko pata hai.
39:46 Aacha mein, mera pehle aapse sawaal poochta hu,
39:48 ke aap agree karte hain, ke nahi dehi?
39:50 Main timing pe agree nahi karte hain.
39:52 Timing pe nahi agree karte hain.
39:53 Bahut ghalat timing hai, yeh hona hi nahi chahiye.
39:55 Iske ijazat deni hi nahi chahiye.
39:57 PCB ne bilkul ghalat kiya, yeh hi kehne na aap.
39:59 Bilkul ghalat kiya, yeh timing sahi nahi hai, bilkul.
40:01 Aur kisne diye, kyu diye?
40:03 Bataye, aapko abhi bataye main.
40:05 Aap ghar jaye.
40:06 Abhi bataye main, bataye na camera pe.
40:07 Mujhe toh nahi bataya aapne.
40:08 Abhi toh bataye main aapko.
40:09 You didn't tell me anything, you can tell me on air, please.
40:11 Kisne diye?
40:12 Kisne diye?
40:13 PCB chairman ne diye.
40:14 PCB chairman ne diye, that's right.
40:16 Hun la de mera naam.
40:22 Hun la de mera naam.
40:23 Alright.
40:24 Now I'm sorry, I'm just,
40:25 But yeh main actually batana chahata hu,
40:27 yeh break mein, Shoaib Malik mein yaad laya hai Mohin bhai ko,
40:30 ke bhai ek minute rukhe, hum sab mein uske andar,
40:32 us league ke andar, kya keh rahe hain?
40:35 Nahi, timing sahi nahi laga.
40:36 Timing sahi nahi.
40:37 Okay, dekhe jo sachi baat hai, jo sahi baat hai,
40:39 that makes sense, and I think we'll not disagree with that.
40:42 Kyu Basim?
40:43 Yeah.
40:44 Sure.
40:51 Munni, istana ghale na, ek aata din idhar udhar ghale.
40:53 Whatever locks your boat, man.
40:55 Whatever locks your boat.
40:56 Basim has reached that stage where he's like,
