00:00 Hello, good afternoon, Assalam-o-Alaikum and welcome to the Pavilion.
00:06 I am Fakhr-e-Alam and you are watching Airsports 10 Sports, the AOI Zap app.
00:09 And our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 from India.
00:14 And well, here we are. It's another day in the World Cup.
00:17 And with me in the Pavilion, I've got four former Pakistani captains,
00:21 four outstanding minds of the game of cricket,
00:24 four gentlemen who served the game of cricket really well and Pakistan really well.
00:27 First up, I've got the dynamic, the super fit, Shoaib Malik. Good afternoon and Assalam-o-Alaikum, Shoaib.
00:33 Good afternoon, Walaikum-Salaam, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
00:36 Next up, I've got Mr. Dependable, the most successful test captain in Pakistan's test cricket history,
00:41 Miswa Ul Haq. Assalam-o-Alaikum, Miswa and good afternoon.
00:43 Waalaikum-Salaam, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
00:47 Eight crooked fingers, two straight thumbs. The Silver Fox of the Pavilion,
00:51 one of the finest wicket keepers of the game of cricket, also captain of Pakistan,
00:55 the man of crisis, the Silver Fox right here, Mohin Khan. Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:59 Waalaikum-Salaam, Fakhar. Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
01:02 And finally, the undisputed royalty of cricket, I have the Sultan of Swing,
01:07 the king of all rounders, the very bright, chirpy and always smiling and making us very, very happy,
01:14 Wasim Akram. Good afternoon.
01:16 Good afternoon, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
01:19 Alright folks, what's on our agenda today?
01:22 Let's first take a look at the match identity.
01:25 Today we are taking you to New Delhi where the match is between Australia and Netherlands.
01:31 The match will start at 1.30 pm.
01:34 It's going to be an interesting contest. We'll talk about this.
01:37 Australia of course want to keep their momentum going.
01:40 Netherlands, well, they want another scalp on that mantle because they've done something
01:45 which not many people thought was possible in this World Cup and that is defeat in South Africa.
01:49 We'll talk about this. But let's take a look at yesterday's match.
01:52 Yesterday's match in Mumbai was South Africa vs Bangladesh.
01:56 This is the match summary. South Africa won the toss and made 382 runs on 5 players.
02:03 And Quinton de Kock made only 174 runs.
02:06 And then Klaasan made only 90 runs.
02:08 And Markram made only 60 runs.
02:10 And Killer the Miller made 34 runs for no reason.
02:15 He made 382 runs. And look at that bowling card for Bangladesh.
02:20 Not very pleasing. Bangladesh in response not being able to respond to that total
02:25 other than Mahmudullah putting up a really fine century.
02:29 And well, the bowling card for South Africa looking really good.
02:33 149 runs victory. That took South Africa's run rate really up.
02:39 And let's take a look at the points table to see where everybody stands as of today.
02:44 This is the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 points table.
02:47 You have India right on top. Shining bright with 5 wins in the 5 games they've played with 10 points.
02:53 Then it's South Africa now at number 2 pushing New Zealand to number 3.
02:57 But look at the South Africa net run rate. Their net run rate is really good.
03:01 Could this be something that comes into play later in this tournament?
03:04 We'll find out as time goes by. New Zealand sitting there at number 3.
03:08 And then Australia pushing Pakistan to 5.
03:11 Afghanistan climbing up to 6 after defeating Pakistan.
03:14 Pushing Netherlands down to 7. Sri Lanka to 8.
03:17 England the defending champions at 9.
03:20 And Bangladesh should be right at the bottom of the table.
03:23 Remember the 4 top teams will play in the semi-finals.
03:27 With that, let me bring this straight to you Basim.
03:30 What outstanding batting by South Africa yesterday.
03:33 Unbelievable. Quentin de Kock we mentioned yesterday.
03:38 We spoke about him in length. What a player he has been for South Africa.
03:42 Again came through the proper ranks in the U19, then South African A team,
03:46 then South Africa team, then became captain now.
03:49 Apparently that's his last World Cup.
03:51 I think I also read somewhere that the South African board is going to request him to carry on in one day cricket.
03:57 He's too good a player to retire from ODI cricket.
04:00 In my book. And then of course Klaassen.
04:03 We also spoke about him a lot. What an outstanding player.
04:06 He plays all around, is strong, makes the base.
04:09 And to bowl him in the last 10-15 overs is very difficult which we have seen in this World Cup.
04:14 Complete performance by South Africans.
04:16 They had one hiccup the other day against Netherlands.
04:19 But in general they are looking very strong.
04:21 They are, they are.
04:22 Talking about batting, Mohin just very very clean hitting and very very powerful hitting.
04:27 By all the South Africans. I was just saying that only this many runs, only this many runs, only this many runs.
04:32 Actually there are just a lot of runs that they pile up and they are very unforgiving.
04:36 I think they didn't plan out.
04:39 And the form in which South African batting is playing now, it's very difficult to plan out.
04:44 All over the world. Until and unless you hit very good Yorkers.
04:48 Otherwise there is no place where their batsmen don't play short.
04:53 They execute the shot everywhere.
04:55 They have displayed the shots very well.
04:58 Like Shoaib mentioned yesterday about Klaasen.
05:02 They are very still and even if they see a little bit of short of length,
05:07 they hit that too.
05:09 Normally in cricket, we say that it is difficult to hit the ball in front.
05:14 They hit that too.
05:16 I think they are going through a great form.
05:18 The way all the batsmen have performed,
05:21 it shows a team unit that is playing in a very positive frame of mind in this tournament.
05:28 There was a hiccup, like I mentioned.
05:30 But otherwise they are on top.
05:32 I would say that it's good that in the early stages, such a team gets a hiccup in the audience.
05:37 The person wakes up a little.
05:39 One thing is that whichever team plays against South Africa,
05:42 early on when they are batting, South Africans attack them.
05:47 If they get new wickets, they should bowl in the T20 format.
05:51 They should bring a lot of variations.
05:54 Because they come after you.
05:56 They don't come in one batter, they come in a lot.
05:58 So if these teams are getting new wickets early on,
06:01 then they should bowl in the T20 format.
06:04 Variations, less bowling in the stumps, go wide.
06:08 Those who play well on the onside, should be off-stunned on the outside.
06:12 For argument's sake,
06:14 I understand where you are coming from with the T20 bowling,
06:17 with slow balls, off-stumps.
06:19 But if you want wickets,
06:21 if you go 30 overs like this,
06:23 then maybe you will get wickets, maybe not.
06:25 But I understand where you are coming from.
06:27 But 30-40 overs without taking a wicket and bowling off-stumps,
06:32 will that work, you think?
06:33 Of course, Waseem bhai.
06:35 That's the only way you can bring them when it comes down to posting a total.
06:40 Otherwise, they go for 400.
06:42 I say, you can get 11 batsmen to play in 400.
06:45 Then it becomes difficult to chase.
06:47 And we have seen, any team who has a decent bowling attack,
06:51 scoring anything close to 350,
06:54 team chasing, they are struggling.
06:56 So this can happen against them.
06:59 Klaasan comes straightaway and starts.
07:02 That's not true.
07:04 I don't think he even brings a Jast.
07:07 He has a net behind him.
07:10 He has a net behind him.
07:12 Unbelievable form.
07:14 Let's talk about Makram.
07:15 Makram is also in great nick.
07:17 And even yesterday, he looked really good.
07:19 Misma?
07:20 He is a very important player.
07:22 A confident player.
07:23 And the best thing is that he has all kinds of game.
07:27 He is a good player in the test.
07:29 He has a good defence.
07:31 He plays the spinner well.
07:33 He plays down the ground shots well.
07:38 The batsman who has this strength,
07:41 see how he uses the crease.
07:43 He goes to the back foot and uses the depth of the crease.
07:47 Then he hits down the ground.
07:49 That's a very good shot.
07:51 The spinner is always under pressure.
07:53 I have recently seen that England players,
07:57 South African players,
07:58 have started playing the spin well.
08:00 Because they didn't understand it before.
08:03 They used to play on the front foot before the ball.
08:06 Or on the back foot.
08:08 Now if you see their batting,
08:10 it's like an Asian player is waiting for a shot.
08:15 And if the ball is a little far,
08:17 he hits it from the inside out.
08:20 And then he uses the depth of the crease to hit the good balls.
08:24 He even runs the square of the wicket.
08:27 So to bowl such batsmen in the middle overs,
08:30 and see their thinking,
08:32 how much they were openers,
08:34 they saw that they play well against the spin.
08:37 For the last two years, they have brought them to the middle.
08:40 And they have planned that we should have batsmen in the middle
08:43 who dominate the spin.
08:45 And he is doing that.
08:46 New Zealand did the same thing.
08:48 Mitchell, he was also an opener.
08:51 Then they said they play the spin well, as Misbah Bhai said.
08:54 And Makram is not strong either.
08:57 He is not at all strong.
08:59 He has every game, every phase of the game.
09:04 If he has to go and build an inning,
09:07 then like Malik said,
09:09 he has to come in the middle and play like a one-day cricketer.
09:13 Then how to change in T20.
09:15 When it comes to T10,
09:17 he hits three sixes.
09:19 But there will still be one question mark in South Africa.
09:22 And that can come in any important match
09:25 when they have to bowl first.
09:28 How do they bowl and how do they chase?
09:31 Chase is going to be the question.
09:32 Would Pakistani camp be worried
09:34 because their next game is with South Africa?
09:36 Are they going to be looking at all the scores
09:38 that they have seen from South Africa
09:40 and be thinking, how do we go about it?
09:43 I think so and I should hope so too.
09:45 Because they have got a massive game,
09:47 four games coming up, Pakistan.
09:49 And as we all know, they have to win all four.
09:52 After that, ifs and buts and run rate.
09:56 Which team is going to win and which team is going to lose.
09:59 But for Pakistan, they have to do it.
10:01 First job is, they have to go game by game.
10:03 It's a big team, South Africa.
10:05 Toss will be crucial.
10:07 Like Misbah just said,
10:09 if they want to see
10:11 how they struggled in the chase against the Netherlands.
10:16 Although they had to score 246, if I remember.
10:18 It wasn't a big total.
10:20 So how do they go in the chase?
10:22 If they bat first, they are very very dangerous.
10:24 But in the match between Pakistan and South Africa,
10:27 I would say one more headache for Pakistan.
10:30 That in the South Africa chase,
10:33 we saw that there are chances.
10:35 If they chase, then you have a chance.
10:38 But Pakistan, after losing to Pakistan,
10:44 you put the total, which you wanted to put.
10:48 But the way bowling performed,
10:50 it will be a big decision for Pakistan.
10:53 What we have to do.
10:55 The pitch of Chennai, if it is the same as India-Australia, Pakistan-Naghbani,
11:02 because early on, through the line shots are made if you bat first.
11:06 But as soon as the balls on both sides are old,
11:08 then through the line new shots are made.
11:10 In the first batting.
11:11 Then you need strong people who can clear the boundary.
11:15 Even in the spinner, it is difficult.
11:17 In the first inning, it is not as easy as in the previous inning.
11:22 Chennai.
11:23 This is specifically to Chennai.
11:25 With that, we are going to take a break right here in the pavilion.
11:27 But when we come back, there is more to talk about Australia vs Netherlands.
11:30 Don't go away.
11:31 Hello and welcome back to the pavilion.
11:32 I am Fakhr-e-Anam.
11:33 You are watching Esports & Sports and the AYZ app.
11:35 Our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup.
11:38 And today we are taking you to New Delhi where we have Australia clashing with Netherlands.
11:43 Gentlemen, let's open discussion on that now.
11:46 Total number of ODIs, Wasim.
11:49 Australia and Netherlands have played twice.
11:51 Both of them have won by Australia.
11:53 But those matches were in 2003 and in 2007.
11:57 It's a very different Netherlands right now.
11:59 It really is.
12:00 Well done to New Delhi.
12:01 They have upset one of the top sides in this world, South Africa.
12:05 It's a good side.
12:07 They have very useful players who perform well.
12:09 Their best is an all-rounder, Bas Delade.
12:12 He is averaging 46 in his ODI career.
12:14 His average in back bowling is about 24-25.
12:17 So yeah, the spinners are bowling well.
12:19 Especially Dutt.
12:20 He is bowling really well with the new ball against the right-handers and left-handers.
12:24 Good variation.
12:25 You know, the pace varies.
12:28 That's why he has been so consistent.
12:30 It will be tough for Netherlands to beat Australia, no doubt.
12:34 As we know, Australia is kind of on the rise right now.
12:37 It's a dangerous side.
12:39 And also joined by Travis Head.
12:41 I think he is needed in this playing XI.
12:44 Now we have to see who will be replaced.
12:46 If I am there, I will probably drop Smith.
12:49 Because he is not in good nick at all.
12:51 Anyways, Manas, Labhushan or Smith.
12:55 One of them should play.
12:57 Of course, Smith performed really well.
12:59 But if we look at his recent form, he has been struggling.
13:04 So one of them should play.
13:06 Or they can also do this.
13:08 Because Australia needs a good net run rate.
13:12 And they must be seeing this in this match.
13:15 That we should have a good start.
13:16 So that we can go towards that.
13:18 That our net run rate should be very good.
13:21 The reason for that is India, New Zealand and South Africa.
13:24 They are in very strong positions.
13:26 We saw it on the points table.
13:28 Now it's about Australia, England and Pakistan.
13:31 So one of these three should play.
13:34 Which is still visible on the points table.
13:37 So I am sure that Australians will have this in their minds.
13:40 Coming to one question to you, both the middle order batters.
13:43 Smith, career batting average, batting at number 3 is 52.
13:48 And batting at number 4 is 34.
13:52 Does that matter to a batsman?
13:54 Whether he is batting at 3 or 4?
13:56 In today's cricket, I don't think so.
14:00 You should think like this.
14:02 You should be ready as a batter.
14:04 You should be proactive.
14:06 In your practice sessions or in your matches.
14:09 At the club level or in the first class.
14:12 You should be fully prepared to bat at any number.
14:18 And there should be no 3 or 4.
14:21 The team's goal should be in front.
14:23 And as an individual, you should be ready.
14:26 That you can bat at any number.
14:29 Like it happens in T20.
14:31 If we look at ODI cricket, the totals are going in that direction.
14:35 So as a batter, you have to be ready to bat at any number.
14:39 One more thing, Waseem.
14:42 We didn't discuss Maxwell.
14:45 Maxwell was still playing because he was bowling.
14:48 Now there is Travis Head.
14:50 He normally bowls 10 overs.
14:53 The kind of form Maxwell is in at the moment.
14:57 That is also a question mark for Australia.
15:01 Because he is not performing at all in batting.
15:05 I think it is possible that Maxwell...
15:09 Because Stoenius is down there.
15:11 He has the batting power.
15:14 It might be a change.
15:16 If he had come at the top, Smith would have come at the 4.
15:20 I understand.
15:21 Maxwell, no doubt, hasn't been performing.
15:24 But let's not take away the fact that he is the best fielder in their side.
15:29 And a match winner.
15:30 Once he gets going, I know he is not in good nick.
15:33 He is not in good nick.
15:34 Cameron Green and Travis Head are also there.
15:38 You can make two changes.
15:40 You want to bring Manas Labhushain and Smith in their place.
15:46 But that will be with a lot of all-downers.
15:49 You need a proper batter at number 4.
15:51 You should bring one of Smith and Manas Labhushain.
15:57 You have to see how much you can get Travis Head to play.
16:02 In the last match, both of them bowled big 100s.
16:05 I don't think they will change the combination.
16:08 He has been phenomenal in 2022.
16:11 He is averaging about 60-791 runs to be exact.
16:17 119 strike rate.
16:18 He is coming from an injury.
16:20 He has been rehabbed.
16:21 I don't know if he has enough match practice.
16:24 But your set combination is already in good form.
16:28 They should not change it.
16:30 But as I said, if Smith and Labhushain play one or two changes,
16:37 you can bring Cameron Green in Maxwell's place.
16:40 That combination can be better.
16:42 And their 5th bowler.
16:43 Then they will have enough options.
16:46 Even if Maxwell goes out, you have Cameron Green, Stoneys,
16:49 Mitch Marsh, Travis Head.
16:52 You have 4 options.
16:54 Wow.
16:55 We saw that Australia's form was not as good as it was in the World Cup.
17:04 But Adam Zampa's form was great.
17:08 He won both the matches.
17:10 He is a top wicket taker right now.
17:12 To take a wicket on these pitches is a plus point for Australia.
17:18 We saw both the matches.
17:20 Zampa was not bowling at all.
17:22 He was bowling out of the box.
17:25 Now his flippers are getting fresh in the wicket.
17:30 That is a plus point when you don't have a lot of board.
17:36 And you have a spinner who is in form.
17:39 A wicket taking bowler.
17:41 It is easier to put pressure on.
17:43 Wicket keeps coming out until it doesn't fall.
17:46 I think Australia's momentum has started in the World Cup.
17:50 To come and finish in the top 4.
17:53 Australia has a chance.
17:55 We have a feature on Mitch Marsh.
17:57 Let's take a look.
17:58 Australian squad getting started in the World Cup.
18:02 The victories they have, especially the win against Pakistan.
18:05 Has got them going now.
18:07 Let's see how this momentum continues in the game today.
18:10 With that we will take a break on the Pavilion.
18:12 Welcome back to the Pavilion.
18:14 I am Fakhr-e-Alam.
18:15 You are watching Sports and Sports.
18:17 Our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup.
18:20 Today we are going to New Delhi.
18:22 Where Australia is going to take on Netherlands.
18:25 And Bata ji.
18:28 Yes.
18:29 We have news.
18:30 What?
18:31 We have news that Agha ji has reached the pitch.
18:34 Really?
18:35 He has found out the pitch's report.
18:37 It is a big pitch today.
18:39 It is time for the pitch report brought to you by Onik.
18:42 Agha ji, what did you understand about Bata ji?
18:45 50-50.
18:47 I will tell you the pitch report.
18:50 When we ask the groundmen if there will be a spin or not.
18:55 Do you know what they say?
18:57 It is in front of your eyes.
19:00 You can see for yourself.
19:02 If someone spins, it will happen.
19:05 Don't say that. You tell me.
19:07 You tell me.
19:08 So it looks like a pitch.
19:10 The comparison is shown.
19:12 The South Africa and Sri Lanka match.
19:15 It was a mayhem on that day.
19:17 228 scored by South Africa.
19:20 Today it looks slightly drier.
19:23 But a lot of grass cover on it.
19:25 And as Waqar said, it is shiny.
19:29 And it looks like a good batting deck.
19:31 You win the toss, you bat here.
19:33 Simple.
19:34 You win the toss, you bat here.
19:36 Australia will bowl first.
19:39 Because they want to improve the net run rate.
19:42 So batting second you have a better chance of improving the net run rate.
19:48 You can get them out.
19:50 You can try to tag their batting.
19:53 But in chasing they can control the game.
19:56 That's true.
19:57 But normally the strategy is batting.
20:00 Australia prefers batting.
20:02 The pitch is good.
20:03 Hopefully, like they did in the form in the last match.
20:07 Maybe they will take a chance.
20:10 Netherlands bat deep.
20:13 They have a lot of depth in their batting.
20:19 How do we equate that with Australia's bowling attack today?
20:25 If you look at the overall team balance, it is a good team.
20:30 They have covered all bases.
20:32 One thing they are worried about is that the top order is not running.
20:37 Vikram Jit Singh is not doing that.
20:42 Normally he does long runs.
20:46 He gives a good start.
20:48 But here they have a problem.
20:50 They are going for early wickets.
20:52 Four or five are out.
20:53 Then they come from the bottom and do a good total.
20:57 So it is important for them to get runs from the top.
21:01 They have an off spinner.
21:03 They have a left arm spinner.
21:05 They have a fast bowler.
21:07 They can do a reverse.
21:08 They have a great bowler in the middle.
21:10 I think their bowling is more balanced and strong.
21:14 They are seeing a performance in batting.
21:17 There is depth.
21:19 But the main batsmen are not running like that.
21:23 The biggest thing about such teams is that they are looking for opportunities.
21:28 If the opposition team gets stuck, if their wickets fall,
21:34 if they get stuck in their plan, then they have a chance.
21:39 Because they don't have pressure.
21:41 They exploit that and then they become dangerous.
21:44 We saw that when South Africa got runs and they under pressure,
21:52 then they caught the match.
21:54 The three batters we are taking the name of, who are struggling in the Netherlands,
21:58 Daud is their batter, the one with long hair.
22:01 He is averaging 13, 55 runs in four innings.
22:04 So, you know, back of the mind.
22:07 He is also one of them.
22:09 The other one is Singh.
22:11 He has 70 runs, 17 average.
22:13 He comes in the middle order.
22:14 Nidabh Manroo, he is averaging 13.
22:17 So that's where the problem is actually.
22:19 The three or four are in the middle order.
22:21 Good point. We have got an exodote right now.
22:23 Well, there you have it.
22:25 I would like to say one thing.
22:27 They get stuck in the inner game.
22:29 It will be a big challenge for them.
22:31 Mitchell Stark and Patrick have also done a hair trick in practice match.
22:35 The same, the ball comes in, leg before the ball and from above.
22:40 So, this will be the first step for them.
22:44 Daud, changing the subject for a second, his haircut reminds me of the 80s, 70s cricket.
22:50 I think he hasn't got the mail.
22:52 His fashion is very old.
22:54 Let's see the last match graphic.
22:57 Now he is showing the batter.
23:02 He is struggling.
23:03 Like I said, he played four innings and only got 55 odd runs.
23:07 He is a good player, no doubt about it.
23:10 But I think that's where the Netherlands batting is under pressure.
23:15 Because the three middle openers, two openers and a middle order batter,
23:19 they are just averaging under 50.
23:21 Whenever you have a back lift like in baseball,
23:28 Why don't you show us, Mizwa?
23:30 This is a good point.
23:32 Let's just show this.
23:34 We'll go on a break, we'll come back from the break and you can show us this.
23:37 We got a chance.
23:38 Okay, we'll take a break now.
23:40 But when we come back, we'll talk about the back lift issue with Mizwa.
23:42 Don't go away, keep watching The Pavilion.
23:44 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
23:45 I am Fakhr-e-Alam.
23:46 Before going on a break, we were talking.
23:48 Mizwa had a point about the Netherlands batsman, Max.
23:52 So here we have Mizwa now, ready to tell us more about that.
23:55 Mizwa, over to you.
23:56 Yes, absolutely.
23:58 There is a problem with the in-swing.
24:01 Why is that?
24:02 As I was saying, normally the back lifts of the batters are very high.
24:09 You have seen Fakhr as well.
24:11 And it's a back lift like in baseball.
24:16 Normally, when the batsman lifts the bat from here, it's on the first slip.
24:23 When it comes from the first slip, naturally your hands are close to the body.
24:29 And when it comes down, it's easy for you to get the ball in.
24:33 The path is easy for you, and it's also easy to get the ball in.
24:38 When you take this back lift here, as soon as I took it here, my hands went out.
24:45 This has two reasons.
24:47 One, my bat is very high, and it will take me time to get it down.
24:54 And if a good ball comes in, I'll be late.
24:58 If a fast bowler or a late swinger comes in, I have to get it down and get it close.
25:07 Two things can't be covered.
25:09 This happens with them. And their front leg crosses a little.
25:14 And the head also comes out with it.
25:16 So when you go from here to here, it's good.
25:21 You play well here as well.
25:23 But when the ball comes here, you're late.
25:27 You can see it on the screen.
25:30 Misbah, what is this?
25:31 You can see it on the screen.
25:32 Misbah, look at the comparison.
25:33 Yes, absolutely.
25:34 This is a length ball, they're managing it.
25:37 But as the length gets longer, and the ball comes in,
25:42 they'll be late because of the high back lift and the hands going out.
25:47 The chance of a leg before ball increases.
25:49 And the question is, can any youngster change their stance, like you're saying, like Dawood?
25:55 Is it easy to change the stance?
25:57 It's difficult to change any stance, I'll tell you.
26:01 Like you said, to change a slight stance, you have to do a lot of repetitions.
26:08 You have to spend 2-3 months.
26:11 You have to come every day and play 500 balls.
26:15 And then it makes a big difference.
26:17 The most important thing is that you do these things when you're not playing competitive cricket or a match.
26:25 Because it's like, your memory is full. First they'll erase it, then a new memory will go in.
26:32 If you go back to playing a match, you go to your natural swing.
26:37 So you have to control it, only then it will make a difference.
26:41 So Misbah, but is there no advantage to a high back lift?
26:45 There are advantages.
26:47 You'll get the ball here, you'll play it well.
26:50 You'll play the short of length ball well sometimes.
26:53 But there are disadvantages.
26:55 So you have to just find a balance.
26:57 You should be in a position where, if there is some problem like that, you should know that as a player.
27:05 If there are big grades, they know how to play the ball and how to defend.
27:11 And then I have to exploit my strengths.
27:15 So Shwep, you want to add balance to that because you said there are advantages to this as well, right?
27:19 Yes.
27:20 So go ahead.
27:22 So you can talk while you're going there.
27:24 You want more?
27:25 Yes, I want more.
27:27 Okay.
27:28 Thank you.
27:29 Thank you Misbah.
27:30 Thank you Misbah.
27:31 Thank you Misbah Bhai.
27:32 Misbah Bhai told us about the disadvantages.
27:36 Now I'll tell you about the advantages.
27:39 And his example is that, the better middle order players, the ones who have a high back lift, they have a lot of advantages.
27:48 There's a high back lift?
27:49 Yes, there's a high back lift.
27:51 There's an example of Yuvraj Singh.
27:53 Yes.
27:54 The high back lift is that, when you bat, middle order batters, especially when they're batting in the death overs, you need a high back lift.
28:06 What do batters do?
28:07 Their bat is here, as Misbah Bhai said, it comes from the first slip.
28:10 So it's easier for them to play on the front foot.
28:13 But the high back lift is for the back footers, who have a lot of advantages in the pull shot, hook shot, cut shot.
28:22 That's why you see that middle order batters, who have a high back lift, the best thing is that the arm extension is good.
28:32 The bat goes far, and the hit is also good.
28:35 The time is also good.
28:36 What is arm extension?
28:37 Arm extension is that, you already have a high back lift.
28:41 So when the bat comes from here, it's like a golf hit.
28:45 That's arm extension.
28:46 You play golf, Masim Bhai, especially you.
28:48 So what happens is, your bat is already here, because you have a high back lift as a batter.
28:53 So when the bat meets, and comes like this, see how good the arm extension is.
28:59 Your arms don't bend.
29:01 But if you're an opener batter, then you can do this to play this ball.
29:10 If it's here, then you can bring it down a little.
29:14 You just have to raise your confidence.
29:17 Like Max, as an opener, he can't change in this, he's having a lot of problems.
29:24 So you should change, you should take this chance.
29:28 Because with this high back lift, 140+ ball, like Misbah Bhai explained,
29:34 Fuller will come in, you would always be struggling.
29:37 But if you bring it down a little, then you can save that chance.
29:42 Shoaib, one question.
29:43 You said it's right for middle order.
29:45 Because you can do that in middle order.
29:47 But if you're reversing the ball in middle order, and coming in fast,
29:50 then won't that be the same problem?
29:51 That can also be a problem.
29:53 This problem does happen.
29:55 What you can do in that is, you shouldn't be in front of the stumps.
30:00 Because you can deal with one ball.
30:02 You clear your stumps, so that even if you hit the ball, it goes down.
30:07 And still you can manage it in your high back lift.
30:11 Thank you Shoaib.
30:12 You said you have a question for Max O'Dowd.
30:14 I said you have to recover instantly.
30:17 Like you said, Max O'Dowd has a problem with the new ball.
30:21 Can you do any special drills for him?
30:23 For that, Mohin Bhai, Javed Bhai used to get a drill done.
30:27 Zumaan Bhai also had this issue.
30:29 His first leg used to go towards the off stump.
30:32 So, whichever ball came in, especially the medium pacers,
30:35 they had a tongue.
30:36 Javed Bhai used to get a drill done with four balls.
30:39 He used to say, "Walk towards me."
30:42 And he used to throw the balls at you quickly.
30:44 If you remember, what you have to do is,
30:46 you have to come to the front foot, and keep playing like this.
30:49 But make sure you watch the ball till the last second.
30:53 Because of that, like Misbah Bhai said,
30:56 if a memory fits here, then obviously your body reacts like that.
31:02 Okay. Thank you.
31:03 Alright, with that we're going to take a break here on the pavilion.
31:06 But when we come back, we'll close it to the toss.
31:08 Don't go away. Keep watching.
31:09 Welcome back to the pavilion.
31:10 I'm Fakhr-e-Anam. You're watching Sports 10 Sports and the AY Zap app.
31:13 And we are getting close to the game.
31:15 It is Netherlands gliding with Australia.
31:18 Before the break, we were talking about Max's technique,
31:22 and his disadvantages and advantages.
31:25 My question here is, the head coach of the Netherlands team,
31:29 did he talk to them about this?
31:32 Did he tell them that this is a problem?
31:34 Maybe he did, but you are successful.
31:38 For many reasons.
31:39 Look at Fakhar Zaman.
31:40 He has an average problem of 48-49 at times.
31:44 But as Malik said, if you know that this is a problem,
31:49 but you also know what are the advantages of this,
31:53 then you manage that time and run on your strengths.
32:02 Maybe he's effective and he's running,
32:05 that's why he's not coming to this stage and watching.
32:08 But there can be improvement.
32:09 For this, a drill is very important.
32:11 Instead of telling a player that you are coming from this side,
32:15 it's better to have drills done.
32:19 It will automatically watch.
32:20 Also, during a big tournament like World Cup,
32:24 it's difficult to change your technique and everything.
32:26 That's why I'm saying that drills should be done.
32:28 Don't just tell him that you are coming from this side.
32:30 It should be done straight away.
32:31 Mohit, it happened with Azhar in England,
32:35 that leg before was happening, you were there too.
32:37 So, for this particular drill, as Malik said,
32:41 first, play with a small bat.
32:44 A small one.
32:45 And second, try to get the ball in front of the mid-on,
32:51 not towards the mid-wicket.
32:55 So that your weight transfer starts,
32:58 your head goes towards the ball instead of going here.
33:01 You play the ball more,
33:04 and automatically, you get that memory.
33:07 And when you get that ball in a match,
33:09 Mohit is absolutely right.
33:11 During the tournament,
33:13 in fact, anywhere,
33:14 you can't just think that you'll get the ball here.
33:18 If you want to fix it,
33:20 let's say you are playing on the middle stump,
33:23 you are standing on the middle stump with the guard,
33:25 then you start standing on the leg stump.
33:27 You open the front leg a little,
33:30 so that if you get the impact or the ball in your pad,
33:33 you are not in front of the stumps.
33:35 So, this can be a quick fix.
33:37 Just stand on the leg.
33:39 Alright, with that, we are going to take you over to New Delhi,
33:42 where the two captains are ready to flip the coin.
33:44 It's time to flip. Brought to you by Samsung.
33:46 Rai Ji, news from New Delhi.
33:48 Australia has decided to play the first ball.
33:51 Mohit, you do it.
33:53 This is why I am sitting in the pavilion.
33:55 You should have told me.
33:57 You should have told me.
33:59 That's a good one, Swet.
34:01 But, wait a minute.
34:03 Why are you ruining the credibility of our pavilion?
34:06 That's why I am sitting here.
34:08 One thing is for sure.
34:10 They didn't change what they should have changed.
34:14 And secondly, if you want to improve the net run rate in Australia,
34:19 the best thing is that the chance you can get is to bat second.
34:24 So that you can try to finish a particular target in a sudden over.
34:29 I think the weather is very hot.
34:31 And secondly, their economy, if you look at the ballers,
34:35 has been very strong throughout the tournament.
34:38 They must be thinking that their economy is so good,
34:41 maybe they want to set a target.
34:43 You should play on your own stress.
34:45 And Australia is known for that.
34:47 I don't understand. I don't understand.
34:49 But, interestingly, Wasim, the Netherlands captain said that we wanted to bowl first.
34:53 So they are getting to bowl first.
34:54 Why do you think they would want to bowl first?
34:56 Because probably they thought that their seamer is better.
34:58 That he can get some juice in the pitch.
35:00 But I don't think so there will be any juice because it's 30 degrees.
35:04 And the sun is beating down on the square.
35:07 They have cut the whole juice.
35:09 Their spinners are a little early.
35:11 They have given a little bit of a detour.
35:13 Their spinners, because of the attack,
35:15 mainly, look, Aryan Dutt bowls a new ball.
35:17 Then there is a left arm spinner.
35:19 Then there is Ackerman who also bowls.
35:21 So maybe if they get a little bit of a dew factor,
35:23 then our spinners won't be as effective.
35:25 And they want that if Australia's wickets fall from above,
35:29 we restrict them,
35:31 maybe we have a chance to chase it down.
35:34 Absolutely. Absolutely.
35:35 Wasim?
35:36 Yes?
35:37 Sushral's playing limit.
35:39 Yeah, no, one change.
35:41 He has apparently got some niggles somewhere in his calf.
35:46 And then Cameron Green comes in.
35:49 Smith-Irmash won a good nick.
35:51 Got hundreds against Pakistan.
35:53 Middle order is strong, but not in good nick.
35:56 Then, of course, Maxwell at six.
36:00 Seven, Cameron Green, eight-pat coming.
36:03 Stark, Hazlewood, and of course, man in form, Adam Zampa.
36:07 Okay. Mohin, take us through the Netherlands team.
36:10 We played with the same team.
36:12 The same team we played in the last match.
36:14 Although we are struggling a little bit.
36:16 Their top order batsmen doubt
36:18 that we talked about in great detail.
36:21 No doubt they will depend on spinners.
36:24 Spinners are in good form here.
36:28 And they will struggle a little bit here
36:31 because of the heat.
36:33 And we have seen in this match
36:37 that Delhi has made a lot of runs.
36:40 So I think it will be a big challenge for this team
36:42 to restrict Australia in a small total.
36:45 Actually, in this pitch,
36:46 they were saying they made 750 runs.
36:49 Then England had to chase them against Afghanistan.
36:52 So what really is going on with that Delhi pitch, Mishra?
36:55 It was the first match in which they made runs.
36:59 And today they went to the pitch report
37:01 that there was a little more grass,
37:03 live grass, green grass.
37:05 A little on the drier side,
37:07 the pitch has been made.
37:08 A little more dryness than before.
37:10 Even in the Afghanistan match,
37:12 you saw that the second time it started spinning.
37:14 So this is a natural thing.
37:17 Fresh pitch, first match is different.
37:19 Then as the matches go on,
37:21 the pitch becomes a little dry.
37:23 Alright, with that we're going to take a break
37:25 right here in the pavilion.
37:26 But when we come back,
37:27 we are closer to the action.
37:28 Don't go away, keep watching.
37:30 Alright, welcome back to the pavilion.
37:32 You are watching A Sports, Sen Sports
37:34 and the ARY Zap app.
37:36 We're getting closer to the action in New Delhi
37:38 where Australia have won the toss
37:40 and elected to bat first.
37:41 And with that, it's time for
37:43 expert predictions brought to you by
37:44 Palmer of Nashville.
37:45 Misbah.
37:46 Australia.
37:48 Brother, one second.
37:50 Brother.
37:51 Yes.
37:52 The match has started, the scorers are here,
37:54 the pen is ready.
37:55 Wasim.
37:57 Still here.
37:59 In-laws.
38:00 Okay.
38:02 No, pick Netherlands.
38:03 Obviously, he's strong in it.
38:05 In-laws.
38:07 Alright.
38:08 Mohim.
38:09 Wasim bhai's in-laws.
38:10 Wasim bhai's in-laws.
38:11 Wasim bhai's in-laws.
38:12 Wasim bhai's in-laws.
38:13 Okay.
38:14 Do you want to review it?
38:16 Brother, my…
38:17 No?
38:18 Shall we?
38:19 Okay.
38:20 So it's Australia's in-laws,
38:21 Wasim bhai's in-laws,
38:22 Wasim bhai's in-laws
38:23 and two expert predictions.
38:24 And with that, it's time for the player
38:27 to watch out for, brought to you by U4.
38:29 Player to watch out for, Shoaib.
38:30 Out of form, today the scorers have been left out.
38:33 Steve Smith.
38:34 Smith.
38:35 Okay, Mohim.
38:36 So, I'm with him.
38:37 Smith?
38:38 No.
38:39 Maxwell, he's also out of form.
38:40 Maxwell, okay.
38:41 Wasim.
38:42 I'll go for straight away, Mitchell Starks.
38:45 Straight away?
38:46 He saw me.
38:50 He saw me.
38:52 I brought a thorn from the down.
38:53 You brought a thorn?
38:55 Yes.
38:56 Okay.
38:57 Starks.
38:58 Two Starks.
38:59 Hey.
39:00 Yes.
39:01 Copycat.
39:02 Straight away, straight away?
39:03 Straight away.
39:04 Straight away, we are done with the
39:06 player to watch out for, brought to you by U4.
39:09 What kind of total will Australia put up,
39:11 Shoaib, this is the question.
39:12 400?
39:13 400, no.
39:15 No?
39:17 Every day, I mean, 400 is a big deal.
39:19 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:20 325, 350, easy?
39:22 It should be this much.
39:24 They have the capability to get to 400, no doubt.
39:27 They're big hitters.
39:28 Especially, we saw, Mitch Marsh is a big unit.
39:32 He's a massive unit.
39:33 He's 6'5", 6'6", strong as a bull.
39:36 As an ox, in fact.
39:38 And he can whack, and so is Warner.
39:40 And Maxwell hasn't gone yet.
39:42 Yes.
39:43 I'm saying, Maxwell hasn't gone yet.
39:44 Maxwell hasn't gone yet.
39:45 If Maxwell goes, then…
39:46 Do you know why I said 325, 350?
39:48 Smith won't go today.
39:49 If Smith goes, the 400 will be a blast.
39:52 Chances are low.
39:53 Yeah, okay, that's what I mean.
39:55 Bispa, your prediction.
39:58 What kind of a total will Australia put up today?
40:00 Minimum 300.
40:02 Maximum 400.
40:04 He's right.
40:05 But to challenge the Netherlands, I think they have a chance.
40:11 If they go below 300, 260, 270, they are in a chance.
40:17 They can chase.
40:18 But if it goes beyond that, then it will become very difficult.
40:21 It will become very, very difficult.
40:23 Alright, gentlemen.
40:24 Thank you, Shoaib.
40:25 Thank you, Mohin.
40:26 Thank you, Bispa.
40:27 Thank you, Wasim.
40:28 We are now going to be taking you momentarily back to New Delhi,
40:32 where the teams are getting ready to start and get into the action.
40:35 And we will see you at the end of the game on the other side.
40:40 Keep watching Airsports, Semsports and the ARY Zap app.
40:43 We'll see you in the evening.
40:44 Thank you.
40:45 Thank you.
40:45 (upbeat music)
