00:00 Hello, good afternoon, Assalam-o-Alaikum and welcome to the Pavilion.
00:09 I am Fakhr-e-Anam and you are watching Sports 10 Sports and the ARY Zap app and our continued
00:13 coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 from India.
00:18 And the journey continues.
00:19 We have another game here for you today but before we get into that, let me bring into
00:23 the conversation my very four special guests right here in the Pavilion with me.
00:29 I've got four former captains of Pakistan, four outstanding minds of the game of cricket
00:34 who analyse each game with us before the game and after the match.
00:39 And it's been a great pleasure sharing this space with them.
00:42 First up, I've got one of the fittest fielders that Pakistan had ever had, a really good
00:46 finisher of the game, solid middle order batsman, off break and captain Pakistan, we've got
00:51 Shoaib Malik.
00:52 Good afternoon and Assalam-o-Alaikum Shoaib.
00:53 Good afternoon, Wa-Alaikum-Salam, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
00:57 A Mr Dependable, the man who held the Pakistani batting order together whenever there was
01:03 a batting disorder, the most successful test captain in Pakistan's test cricket history,
01:07 Miswal Haq.
01:08 Assalam-o-Alaikum and good afternoon Miswal.
01:09 Wa-Alaikum-Salam, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
01:10 With that, one of the finest wicket keepers of the game of cricket, also a great finisher,
01:16 great running between the wickets and helped a lot of bowlers for Pakistan while standing
01:23 behind the stumps and talking to them.
01:24 I've got the silver fox of the pavilion, Mohin Khan.
01:28 Good afternoon and Assalam-o-Alaikum Mohin.
01:29 Good afternoon, Wa-Alaikum-Salam, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
01:33 And finally the cricket royalty himself, ladies and gentlemen, with me in the pavilion I have
01:39 the Sultan of Swing, the undisputed king of all rounders, the always bright, shiny, chirpy,
01:45 Wasim Akram.
01:46 Wasim, good afternoon and Assalam-o-Alaikum.
01:47 Hola, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
01:48 Hola, hola, hola, hola.
01:49 Alright folks, before we get started, I want to say that I'm a big fan of your channel
01:50 and I'm a big fan of your channel.
01:51 I'm a big fan of your channel.
01:52 I'm a big fan of your channel.
01:53 I'm a big fan of your channel.
01:54 Alright folks, before we get down to the business of today, let's take a look at what happened
01:57 yesterday.
01:58 Yesterday in New Delhi, it was absolute carnage.
02:00 Australia batted before Tauzeed yesterday and what did they do?
02:04 They just kept batting.
02:05 They made only 399 runs.
02:06 And Maxwell made only 106 runs and took so many stumps, 44.
02:07 They were very cruel.
02:08 Warner was also there with the century and Smith also there contributing.
02:09 Everybody getting into form there.
02:10 There was that Dilawar, the one who was the best in the world, he was the one who was
02:11 the best in the world.
02:12 He was the one who was the best in the world.
02:13 He was the one who was the best in the world.
02:14 He was the one who was the best in the world.
02:15 Warner was also there with the century and Smith also there contributing.
02:19 Everybody getting into form there.
02:21 There was that Dilawar, who was 10 overs, 115 for 2.
02:28 That's a world record as well, by the way, in this World Cup.
02:30 Netherlands, of course, dismissed for 9-0 and 90 runs.
02:34 Zampa there, look at that, 4 for 8.
02:36 Nothing wrong with that bowling card.
02:38 Australia winning that one by a very thin margin of 309 runs and taking that net run
02:45 rate really high for them.
02:46 And let's take a look at the points table.
02:48 What's the situation on the points table?
02:49 The situation on the points table, friends, is something like this.
02:53 ICC, Men's Cricket World Cup India 2023.
02:55 India is at the top with 10 points.
02:59 They look unstoppable right now.
03:01 South Africa also looking very, very dangerous.
03:04 And look at that South Africa run rate of 2.37 and they are with 8 points at number
03:08 2.
03:09 New Zealand slipped to number 3 and then you have Australia climbing up.
03:13 They've come from behind and now they look very dangerous as well.
03:17 Pakistan pushed to 5.
03:18 Afghanistan climbs up after defeating Pakistan to 6th position.
03:21 Sri Lanka on the 7th.
03:22 England on 8th.
03:24 Bangladesh on 9th.
03:25 Netherlands on 10th.
03:26 Now, one thing to keep in mind, the top 4 teams will play the semifinal.
03:30 But the bottom 2 teams will have to play qualifiers for the next World Cup.
03:35 So you want to be at least in the top 8 and that's how it is.
03:39 Now let's take a look at what we have in store for you today.
03:41 We have another game for you today.
03:44 It's going to be a very interesting game.
03:45 And this is the game between England and Sri Lanka.
03:48 This game will be played live from Bengaluru at 1.30 pm.
03:54 This is the game we have in store for you.
03:56 And before we get on to this game, let me just revisit last night's outstanding batting
04:04 by Australia.
04:05 Biswa, your thoughts on that Maxwell innings?
04:10 I think if Australia struggled, the places we talked about earlier, their main players
04:17 were not firing, all those bases would have been covered in their last game.
04:22 We were saying that a little form has come back against Pakistan.
04:26 Now if Maxwell also comes in runs, then Australia will become a very dangerous team.
04:34 The way he batted, I could tell from the first two shots.
04:38 Normally, these shots are played less.
04:42 When Maxwell comes, he hits unconventional shots.
04:45 But after the first two or three drives, it felt like he was a different man today.
04:52 And then he came on his own shots, the unconventional shots and the big shots, because of which
04:59 he is famous as 360.
05:01 He delivered all those things yesterday.
05:05 And now Australia will be very confident, the way he just hit those sixes.
05:12 And one thing is very important, he came close to 100 and took no time.
05:17 He just played sixes.
05:19 He didn't say that he will play singles.
05:23 He hit four sixes in the last six.
05:25 He brought a Ludo.
05:26 His coach told him to play openly, but play till the end.
05:31 He gave a message to our opener, "Play openly, but play till the end."
05:35 T20.
05:36 Your famous 50-50.
05:37 Another thing for Australia is, the spinners we had in the beginning, their problem was
05:46 that Zampa wasn't bowling well.
05:48 They only have one regular spinner in the squad, but he's got four wickets in this game.
05:53 Three fourfurs in a row.
05:55 So he has taken 12 wickets in three matches.
05:58 So he's back in form.
05:59 He's changed a bit.
06:01 He's got no wickets in the wickets and no flippers.
06:04 He's reducing the lead break.
06:06 He's only hitting fast.
06:07 Another thing is, his fifth bowler, his batting has started to cover.
06:14 He's got so many runs in the last match that his fifth bowler, Maxwell Stonies, Cameron
06:23 Green, has been covered.
06:25 If he distributes those 12-15 overs between these four guys, even if he gives 100 runs,
06:35 they are covered.
06:36 Because the rest of their four bowlers are in prime form.
06:40 Alright guys, let's talk about the game we have here today.
06:43 England vs Sri Lanka.
06:45 One interesting thing is, they have played 11 matches in the ODIs, head-to-head World
06:50 Cups.
06:51 They have played in the World Cup games.
06:56 Eleven games have been played.
06:57 England has won six and Sri Lanka has won five.
07:01 But one interesting thing is, the last four World Cup matches they have played, all four
07:08 of them have been won by Sri Lanka.
07:10 Last time England won against Sri Lanka in a World Cup was 24 years ago.
07:16 But of course, this, Wasim, is a very different English side.
07:19 Yeah, this is.
07:21 The stats are good for us guys, you guys, cricket lovers, but that doesn't matter to
07:25 teams.
07:26 Whatever happened four years ago.
07:27 Or 24 years ago.
07:29 New team, new captain, new environment, new conditions, everything is different.
07:35 And England, obviously struggling.
07:38 In four matches, they only have three wins, three losses.
07:42 And their run rate, even if they win all the matches, the next five, ten points, now there
07:47 are two points, there will be twelve, their run rate is minus 1.25.
07:51 And that's a lot of difference between the top teams and them.
07:54 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:55 So that is how it is.
07:56 We're going to take a break here on The Pavilion.
07:57 But when we come back, we'll talk more about this game because there are a lot of interesting
08:00 things to discuss about it.
08:01 Don't go away.
08:02 Keep watching Esports, TEN Sports and the ARY Zap app.
08:05 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
08:08 I'm Fakhr-e-Alam.
08:09 You're watching Esports, TEN Sports and the ARY Zap app.
08:10 Our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup with me in The Pavilion.
08:13 I'm joined by Shoaib Malik, Misbah-ul-Haq Mohin Khan and Wasim Akram.
08:17 We were talking about today's match.
08:18 We're going to take you today to see another game of cricket.
08:21 This is England versus Sri Lanka.
08:22 Before we go on break, we talked about the 11 matches of England vs Sri Lanka in the
08:26 World Cups.
08:27 Out of which, six England won and five Sri Lankans won.
08:29 But in the last 24 years, England has not won a single match in the World Cups.
08:33 But this is a different England side.
08:35 But, but, let me bring this to you, Misbah.
08:38 It has been a struggling England side.
08:40 They are defending champions, but they've just not fired up.
08:43 What's going on there?
08:44 Why do you think?
08:45 Look, the thing is, if you don't get a good start, then no matter what team you're
08:51 in, you'll have a lot of problems.
08:54 We've seen it in Australia as well.
08:56 You get off track.
08:57 Then when you're not able to play the strength that you have, the type of cricket you're
09:02 playing, your wickets go from the top.
09:06 Then your batting is not firing.
09:08 Normally, England is a team that plays more than 350 matches.
09:14 And here, in the first match, they got stuck and then lost to Afghanistan.
09:19 So, their confidence has been shattered.
09:21 So far, their bowling side, if we look back three or four years, even in the 2019 World
09:28 Cup, Geoffrey Archer was their main bowler, who put pressure from the top.
09:33 Otherwise, they normally played on their batting.
09:35 Now, their bowling basically doesn't allow them to play first.
09:40 They don't have confidence in that.
09:42 And in batting, you've lost a match in the chase as well.
09:46 Now, they are in a position where it's very difficult to say what we have to do here.
09:52 What is our strength?
09:54 So, in this situation, it's very difficult for you.
09:57 You have to bring clarity to England.
09:59 What decision do we have to make?
10:02 Do we have to bat first?
10:04 We shouldn't do that.
10:05 Normally, the teams whose strength is batting, they are also batting first.
10:11 And in batting, they put the other team out of the match.
10:14 If you think too much about bowling, I don't think England will be able to play freely
10:20 and overcome their problems.
10:23 There is a solution to this.
10:25 If they make Harry Brook open instead of Johnny Besto, bring Johnny Besto down on their
10:30 number.
10:31 They should do that because the ball swings in the subcontinent for the first few overs.
10:38 And they are struggling a little in that.
10:40 And everyone knows that when the ball comes in…
10:43 In England, the ball is supposed to be more than 9 games.
10:46 But it's more in the subcontinent.
10:49 White ball, white ball…
10:51 White ball is more in the subcontinent.
10:53 It's not as much in English conditions.
10:55 Red ball is definitely more.
10:56 So, if they change this, it will lead to a match-up.
11:01 The other teams have done all the homework.
11:03 And that's why the England team is struggling.
11:05 They are not getting a good start from the top.
11:07 When they get a good start from the top, like we saw yesterday in the case of Australia.
11:11 When Steve Smith and Warner made runs from the top, the ones from the bottom became very strong.
11:17 They took the total to such a place that it was difficult for any team.
11:21 They should also change this because Harry Brook plays better.
11:25 His technique is better as compared to Jonny Bastow.
11:28 But do you think in 50 overs he will be able to open?
11:30 Yeah, yeah. He can.
11:32 And they brought him to Jason Roy's place.
11:35 Okay.
11:36 Jason Roy is an opener.
11:38 That's why they brought him.
11:40 And if we see, they play in this formation.
11:44 They play in any number of England's batters.
11:47 That's why Josh Butler opens in T20.
11:51 Here, they play in middle order.
11:53 Because they need power in 5-6 overs.
11:56 One more big reason, and one more big reason.
11:58 I feel that the captain is not in touch.
12:02 He is not able to perform.
12:04 We are seeing his body language in interviews.
12:07 He is very down.
12:08 It reflects on the whole team.
12:10 It is very important for any team.
12:12 We saw this in Pakistan.
12:13 Babar Singh did not perform as well as we expected.
12:17 It is visible on the body language.
12:19 And it reflects on the whole team.
12:21 That's why the captain's not performing reflects on the whole team.
12:29 And that's why England is under pressure.
12:32 Otherwise, before this World Cup,
12:34 they were the defenders of the World Cup.
12:36 And they were the top team.
12:38 The ones who played bad cricket.
12:40 Last 7 matches, no one played 50.
12:42 I want to continue this.
12:45 And I bring this to all of you on the floor.
12:47 Many Pakistani cricket fans say that
12:52 you are questioning the team.
12:55 You are questioning the captain.
12:58 You are questioning the players' performance.
13:01 England is a defending champion.
13:04 So, look at their situation.
13:06 Is this comparison of Pakistan's performance and England's performance right?
13:13 I want to say something on this.
13:15 We will come to the skill later.
13:18 The simple answer is that
13:20 the day the England team's players are modern day cricketers,
13:27 and they are out of form,
13:30 they are not getting the click.
13:32 Just like Australia got it yesterday,
13:33 this team is not getting it.
13:35 The difference between the England team and the Pakistan team is that
13:40 we are not good enough to compete against good teams at a higher level.
13:45 Like the World Cup.
13:47 So, there is a difference.
13:49 And it will remain a difference.
13:51 We have to fix that.
13:52 We don't have to fix a one-day thing.
13:55 We have to fix this thing to perform consistently.
14:00 That our cricketers at least try to play modern day cricket.
14:05 And they should have this much capability.
14:08 There is a difference.
14:09 If we look at one, two or three matches,
14:12 there is no difference.
14:14 The day the England team's bowling is a problem,
14:19 I am saying this from day one,
14:21 they cover it up with their batting.
14:24 Our fielding, bowling and batting,
14:26 there is a difference in all three.
14:28 This is the major point.
14:29 Fitness.
14:30 When all three of your things are not working,
14:33 it means that there is a fitness issue.
14:37 But the second important thing is that
14:40 it never happens like this.
14:42 If England is not doing it,
14:43 they are the world champion.
14:45 It doesn't mean that England is not being criticized.
14:48 Whatever they are doing, we are doing it too.
14:51 Their mistakes, they are doing it.
14:54 We talked about bowling on the first day.
14:56 The things that are visible,
14:59 the way it is visible in batting,
15:01 it is obvious that the people who are sitting and talking,
15:04 they are trying to pinpoint all those things.
15:07 Now your bowling is not going well.
15:10 It's not just the fault of Babar,
15:13 you fail as a team.
15:15 Your bowling unit is completely,
15:18 it's like you don't know who will stop the score,
15:22 who will do the out,
15:23 what will be the middle overs, end overs.
15:25 The best bowling attack three or four months ago,
15:28 in a way, was fast bowling.
15:30 It looks like we don't have any hope,
15:33 we can see someone.
15:35 So, obviously, you have to bring all these things.
15:39 If we compare,
15:41 you asked England,
15:43 that today's world cup.
15:44 A lot of people, because we have been winning since today.
15:46 England has won the last two world cups.
15:48 And Pakistan has not won anything in five years.
15:50 So, if we compare,
15:51 it's okay that they are having a bad start,
15:53 like they both talked about,
15:54 the combination of their fast bowling,
15:56 is the second worst average in this world cup.
15:59 So, the summary is,
16:00 those who are saying,
16:01 England, who are such big champions,
16:03 and such big white wall players,
16:05 if we look at their situation,
16:06 then there is no problem with Pakistan.
16:08 So, I think the basic answer to that is,
16:10 England plays modern cricket,
16:12 we are not playing.
16:13 Number one.
16:14 Number two, once they click,
16:15 they will really click.
16:16 We have an issue with our skill.
16:18 One more setback,
16:20 today's top player,
16:22 the top taker.
16:23 We will talk about that.
16:24 Right now, we are going to take a break.
16:26 But when we come back,
16:27 we will continue the discussion from later on.
16:28 Stay with us.
16:29 Thank God, we are back from the break.
16:32 Because my friends here in the pavilion,
16:34 are getting really weird ideas in the break.
16:36 Yeah, and the friends that I have are,
16:38 Wasim Akram,
16:39 I have a very good idea.
16:40 You write to me,
16:41 that if this idea,
16:43 if this idea has the power or not.
16:45 I have told him,
16:47 unanimously, we four have decided,
16:48 that if we cut your head in the live TV,
16:50 in that way,
16:51 not head, I mean hair,
16:53 that would have been too much.
16:54 Then you will go viral.
16:56 Why? It will go viral.
16:57 And don't go towards the head.
16:59 Because,
17:00 if you go to the head,
17:01 it will take 8-10 hours.
17:03 Alright, so much for bad ideas.
17:05 Let's move on with what we were talking about.
17:08 It's the ICC Men's World Cup 2023.
17:11 And today we are going for the game,
17:13 England vs Sri Lanka,
17:14 we were talking about that.
17:15 We talked about England,
17:16 about England's form,
17:18 the players are struggling to get back into form.
17:20 Let's talk about our players,
17:22 our players,
17:23 our players,
17:24 our players,
17:25 let's talk about,
17:26 you talked about Topli,
17:28 Topli got injured,
17:29 he is now not there,
17:30 he has been replaced.
17:31 What do you think has happened there?
17:35 Definitely, when those players are in form,
17:39 and when they are performing in such a big tournament,
17:42 there is a setback.
17:43 So, here,
17:44 they have to get back into strength.
17:47 He was injured,
17:48 he was coming on your screen.
17:50 He was injured in his hand.
17:53 He was the most wicket-taking bowler,
17:56 he played 3 matches,
17:57 he has won 8 wickets.
17:58 I think knee or somewhere in his hand.
18:01 It's a knee injury.
18:03 But while bowling,
18:04 the ball,
18:05 the ball that hit the back drive,
18:07 he was hit by that ball.
18:08 He has been so unlucky over the years.
18:10 He has so many injuries.
18:11 Very talented bowler as well,
18:13 Topli, he is Topli.
18:14 Wasim, my question to you,
18:16 a fast bowler,
18:17 a key strike fast bowler,
18:19 is a key asset of the team.
18:20 Sure.
18:21 He is a strategic asset.
18:22 You give extra protection to strategic asset.
18:24 Okay.
18:25 You always say that he is a strategic asset.
18:27 Do coaches or should teams not,
18:29 you know,
18:30 place these good fast bowlers
18:32 in places where they don't have to dive like this?
18:35 Or they will be told not to dive?
18:37 We don't want you to get injured.
18:38 No, no, no.
18:39 It's a natural instinct.
18:40 When you see a ball,
18:41 you dive,
18:42 you can't tell a cricketer or,
18:43 you know,
18:44 at that level that you don't have to dive here.
18:46 It's just natural.
18:48 It comes out naturally.
18:49 So, let me ask you this.
18:50 In Dharamsala, you saw that
18:51 when the matches were going on,
18:52 after the initial,
18:53 when a few rooms were injured,
18:55 what did the other teams avoid?
18:56 Indian team avoided to dive.
18:58 You can tell them,
18:59 be careful with sliding.
19:00 Yes.
19:01 But you can just say,
19:02 keep it in your mind.
19:03 But what comes naturally,
19:04 when Shaheen Afridi runs
19:06 and hits the ball,
19:07 it's natural.
19:09 Right.
19:10 Stopping him, I think,
19:11 I've seen you guys as well.
19:13 Yeah.
19:14 That's one thing,
19:15 I, you see,
19:16 this is a little bit off,
19:17 when we stop a tape tennis ball,
19:19 when we played on the roads,
19:21 I swear I'm not exaggerating,
19:23 even if the ball was a little far,
19:25 we used to dive on the road.
19:27 This is the ground,
19:28 as Wasim Bhai said,
19:29 that you are so involved as an athlete,
19:34 that you can't stop yourself.
19:37 You don't think about,
19:38 don't dive on this ground,
19:40 you'll get hurt,
19:41 I have the whole world's welcome.
19:43 You don't think like that.
19:44 Okay.
19:45 Workload management,
19:46 what you said in this,
19:47 is off the field,
19:49 you are doing it,
19:50 you are seeing it,
19:51 you are thinking,
19:52 when to play the match,
19:53 when not to play,
19:54 when you play a match,
19:55 you have to give 100% effort.
19:57 There, in the field,
19:59 you can't take care of yourself,
20:01 I mean,
20:02 you can't leave the court,
20:03 you can't go,
20:04 catch is far away,
20:05 you can't try,
20:06 this doesn't happen in professional world.
20:08 I think, here,
20:09 what both of them said,
20:11 naturally, your instinct,
20:13 Fair enough.
20:14 is natural.
20:15 You go behind the ball,
20:16 and injury,
20:17 it's a part of the game,
20:19 you can come anytime.
20:20 Alright, with that,
20:21 we've got David Willey with us,
20:22 let's listen in.
20:23 Right, there you have David Willey.
20:26 Interestingly,
20:27 you've played David Willey's father,
20:30 against him, right?
20:31 Yes, I did.
20:32 He was a good all-rounder, I believe.
20:33 Thank God, you're not saying
20:34 that you played with his grandfather,
20:35 that too, will come in time.
20:36 No, but…
20:39 Yeah, very useful all-rounder.
20:40 When we used to play,
20:41 his father,
20:42 he was in umpiring,
20:43 he was in umpiring.
20:44 He did a lot of umpiring,
20:45 internationally.
20:46 He was an England international,
20:47 an off-spinner,
20:48 and a proper batter.
20:49 But, problem,
20:50 when I played my first match
20:51 against him,
20:52 I think it was my first year
20:53 at Lancashire in '88,
20:54 and there was a game at Leicester,
20:56 because he played for Leicester.
20:58 So, when I ran to pass the ball,
21:01 I stopped.
21:02 I thought, he's not ready.
21:03 Show us, please.
21:04 I'll show you his stance,
21:05 I've never seen such a stance
21:06 in my life.
21:07 Please, you have to show us.
21:08 I can show you quickly.
21:09 On the pitch,
21:11 let's see this.
21:12 This is…
21:14 This is David Willey's father,
21:16 Peter Willey, who…
21:17 Look, usually,
21:18 which camera is this?
21:19 That one.
21:20 Usually, if it's right,
21:21 he'll stand like this,
21:23 or he'll stand like this,
21:25 or he'll stand like this.
21:26 So, when I ran to bowl,
21:28 he was standing like this.
21:33 He moved towards the square leg.
21:34 Yes, yes, when I was running,
21:35 he was standing like this.
21:36 No way.
21:37 Like this.
21:38 When I was running,
21:39 I said, hang on a minute,
21:40 he's not ready.
21:42 Seriously,
21:43 I've stopped him three times.
21:44 So, Peter Willey was very senior,
21:47 he was a cricketer then,
21:48 so he said to me in English,
21:50 in a bad way,
21:51 "Get on with it."
21:52 So, I went to my captain,
21:53 I said, "David,
21:54 David Hughes, very nice guy."
21:56 I said, "David,
21:57 this guy is not ready."
21:58 He said, "No, no,
21:59 that's the way he bats."
22:00 And he bats well.
22:02 You know, we've seen
22:04 Fawad Alam,
22:05 he was also like that,
22:06 but he was literally like this.
22:07 His leg was towards the leg umpire,
22:09 and he was looking at me.
22:11 Imagine a new bowler,
22:12 young bowler,
22:13 running in.
22:14 It's awkward to bowl.
22:15 He used to hit the cut,
22:17 he used to hit the pull,
22:18 it was very difficult
22:19 in the beginning.
22:20 How would he go on
22:22 the back foot with that?
22:23 Huh?
22:24 How would he go on
22:25 the back foot with that?
22:26 That's a good question,
22:27 let's ask him.
22:28 Call him.
22:29 You go call him.
22:30 We have a similar story.
22:32 Chander Paul was batting
22:34 in Adelaide.
22:35 Yes, he was also batting.
22:36 And Rudy Curtson,
22:38 South African umpire,
22:40 he was a leg umpire,
22:41 so I was standing
22:43 with him.
22:44 So this is the bat.
22:46 And the bowler
22:49 was supposed to come from here,
22:50 and he would stand like this.
22:51 Chander Paul.
22:53 So he was standing like this,
22:54 I was standing on the
22:55 square leg,
22:56 and Rudy Curtson was standing
22:57 with me.
22:58 So when the bowler
22:59 started walking from there,
23:00 Rudy Curtson said,
23:01 "Give me your cap."
23:03 I said, "Why?"
23:04 "But I'm not bowling."
23:05 He said, "He's facing you."
23:09 And he was one of the
23:10 greats of the game.
23:11 10,000+ test runs.
23:12 Incredible.
23:14 But great sense of humour
23:15 by the way.
23:16 I just met him, Chander Paul,
23:17 recently in Canada,
23:18 with GTT20.
23:20 And he looked exactly the same
23:22 when I saw him the first time
23:24 in '93-'94.
23:25 Doesn't Shoaib Malik look the
23:27 same when you saw him in
23:28 '93-'94?
23:29 A lot better.
23:30 A lot better.
23:31 I took your autograph
23:32 for the first time in '96.
23:34 Yes, in '96.
23:36 I did another interview
23:38 of Shoaib Malik.
23:39 And I have to share
23:40 this story with him.
23:41 And he was telling me how
23:42 there was a Pepsi Cup trial
23:43 and he came to Gaddafi Stadium
23:44 to participate.
23:45 Under-15 World Cup trials.
23:48 Final trials at Gaddafi Stadium.
23:49 And you were in the camp
23:52 and you were in your car
23:53 and everyone had told you
23:54 not to go near
23:55 the Pakistan Cricket team.
23:56 No one was allowed to go
23:57 near the team.
23:58 But he couldn't resist
23:59 and he ran to you.
24:00 And he asked for your autograph.
24:02 He didn't even have a pen.
24:03 You asked for a pen
24:04 and you gave him an autograph.
24:05 That's a special story.
24:06 You don't remember that.
24:07 No, I don't.
24:08 Little did you know
24:09 that you were giving
24:10 someone an autograph.
24:11 I know he will play for Pakistan.
24:12 He will become a captain.
24:13 He will become a top player
24:14 for Pakistan.
24:15 So, well done.
24:16 Well done, Shoaib.
24:17 Thank you.
24:18 Well done.
24:19 Thank you, Mohin.
24:20 With those great memories,
24:21 we're going to take a break here
24:22 so that we can...
24:23 You're getting a little drunk.
24:24 We'll meet after the break.
24:25 What's wrong with you?
24:26 Hello and welcome
24:28 back to The Pavilion.
24:29 I'm Fakhr-e-Anam
24:30 and you're watching
24:31 Sports & Sports
24:32 and the ARYS app app.
24:33 I'm joined in The Pavilion
24:34 with Shoaib Malik,
24:35 Ms. Paul Haque,
24:36 and Mr. Waseem Akram.
24:37 And today,
24:38 we have England vs Sri Lanka.
24:39 And right now,
24:40 it's time for
24:41 Waseem Akram's
24:42 favorite subject.
24:43 Let's watch the pitch report
24:44 brought to you by Onik.
24:45 Right there, Waseem.
24:46 Your favorite subject.
24:47 No, it was nice,
24:48 the pitch report.
24:49 They said a little drier,
24:50 but a similar kind of pitch.
24:51 Like a honeycomb,
24:52 the cracks in it
24:53 mean that
24:54 it's close.
24:55 It's not too big.
24:56 It's not too far.
24:57 And the grass
24:58 that you can see,
24:59 it's not...
25:00 It doesn't matter
25:01 that much.
25:02 It's a little bit of grass
25:03 that you can see.
25:04 It's a little bit of grass
25:05 that you can see.
25:06 It doesn't matter.
25:07 The only reason
25:08 the grass is there
25:09 is that the pitch eventually
25:10 breaks from the center.
25:11 I think that's the idea
25:12 of that grass.
25:13 And then nicely rolled in.
25:14 But I think once
25:15 the lights come on
25:16 by 6, 6.30,
25:17 the wickets,
25:18 this wicket will ease up.
25:19 And this is the ground
25:20 where the average
25:21 first inning score
25:22 in the last four ODIs
25:23 is 343.
25:24 So you can imagine
25:25 it's a batting,
25:26 batter's paradise.
25:27 Good deck.
25:28 This ground
25:29 is a perfect
25:30 ground for a batter.
25:31 And it's a perfect
25:32 ground for a batter.
25:33 And it's a perfect
25:34 ground for a batter.
25:35 This ground is known
25:36 for hitting boundaries
25:37 for a batter.
25:38 But what we saw
25:39 on both sides,
25:40 the patches from the crease
25:41 to the 4-5 meters
25:42 are very rough.
25:43 And the cracks are very
25:44 small as Wasim Bhai said
25:45 and the pitch report
25:46 that came out.
25:47 Here, those spinners
25:48 can out,
25:49 who are brave.
25:50 If they gain a little
25:51 more,
25:52 there's a chance
25:53 of getting a spin.
25:54 And as Wasim Bhai said,
25:55 the high scoring game
25:56 is a chance
25:57 to get a spin.
25:58 And as Wasim Bhai said,
25:59 the high scoring game
26:00 is a chance
26:01 to get a spin.
26:02 And as Wasim Bhai said,
26:03 the high scoring games,
26:04 the matches that
26:05 happened here,
26:06 the last 4 ODIs
26:07 that happened,
26:08 but in this,
26:09 the spinners have to
26:10 be a little brave
26:11 to use those
26:12 rough areas.
26:13 In the last 4 ODIs,
26:14 they've hit teams
26:15 that have hit 94-6's
26:16 in this place.
26:17 in this place.
26:18 Okay, he was telling
26:19 that in the left-handers,
26:20 it's a very good
26:21 patch from that side
26:22 where the left-handers
26:23 can hit hard.
26:24 can hit hard.
26:25 Talking about
26:26 left-handers,
26:27 Dilshan Madhushanki,
26:28 how good has he been
26:29 throughout?
26:30 Very, very impressive.
26:31 Very, very impressive.
26:32 Very, very impressive.
26:33 I think he bowled well
26:34 when he played in LPL
26:35 for I think he was
26:36 in Shoaib Jafnati.
26:37 Yes.
26:38 He's young,
26:39 he's getting wickets
26:40 early on,
26:41 he swings the ball
26:42 back into the right-hander
26:43 which is very important
26:44 for every left-hander
26:45 and bowler.
26:46 And Rajita got
26:47 wickets as well,
26:48 I think 4 wickets
26:49 in the previous game.
26:50 And the best thing
26:51 about Sri Lankan side
26:52 is finally,
26:53 there's a sense
26:54 that they've called
26:55 Angelo Matthew.
26:56 The most experienced.
26:57 He didn't even
26:58 pick Angelo Matthew
26:59 in the squad.
27:00 Because with this young squad
27:01 you need somebody
27:02 at number 4,
27:03 number 5 maybe
27:04 who can carry on
27:05 the innings,
27:06 who can stay at one end
27:07 and Angelo Matthew
27:08 is the perfect
27:09 candidate for that.
27:10 Right.
27:11 Dilshan Madhushanki
27:12 is a feature
27:13 we have about him.
27:14 Let's take a look.
27:15 Right.
27:16 Shoaib, let me ask you this.
27:17 His coach said
27:18 he's come through
27:19 the system.
27:20 What does that mean?
27:21 The system teaches you
27:22 that if you have
27:23 the skill,
27:24 if you have the ability
27:25 to play well,
27:26 you can play well
27:27 and you can
27:28 play well.
27:29 If you have the
27:30 skill,
27:31 if you have
27:32 those type of conditions
27:33 then you have
27:34 a chance to do well.
27:35 When you come through
27:36 the system
27:37 you've come through
27:38 every hurdle.
27:39 Right.
27:40 A small example is
27:41 that like this is
27:42 the World Cup,
27:43 all the teams
27:44 are playing
27:45 at different venues.
27:46 So when your player
27:47 comes through the system
27:48 he adapts
27:49 to those conditions
27:50 very quickly
27:51 and his chances
27:52 increase
27:53 and he performs
27:54 consistently.
27:55 Good point.
27:56 He has won 11 out of
27:57 the 12 World Cups
27:58 and he's won
27:59 the World Cup
28:00 twice.
28:01 He's won
