00:00:00 Hello, Assalam-o-Alaikum, good evening and welcome to The Pavilion.
00:00:06 I am Fakhr-e-Alam and you are watching A Sports, 10 Sports and the ARY Zap app.
00:00:11 Continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 and the news out of Chennai is that
00:00:16 South Africa has successfully chased down the target against Pakistan.
00:00:21 Pakistan losing this game and well with that the chances of Pakistan playing in the semi-finals
00:00:28 have diminished quite a bit but not completely.
00:00:32 Maybe there is an outside chance, we will talk about that.
00:00:35 With me in The Pavilion I am joined by four excellent analysts of the game of cricket,
00:00:41 four former captains of Pakistan, four outstanding individuals.
00:00:44 I have got one of the finest runners and one of the finest finishers of the game, Captain
00:00:50 Pakistan, I have Mr. Malik Shoaib.
00:00:53 Good evening and welcome.
00:00:54 Good evening, thank you, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:00:57 With that Mr. Dependable, the most successful test captain in Pakistan's cricket history,
00:01:01 I have got Ms. Fawad Haq.
00:01:02 Ms. Fawad, good evening and welcome.
00:01:04 Good evening, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:01:06 Another Pakistani captain, kept the wickets, great runner between the wickets, known as
00:01:11 a man of prices and we call him the silver fox of The Pavilion, Mohin Khan.
00:01:15 Mohin, good evening and welcome.
00:01:17 Good evening, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
00:01:20 And finally the cricket royalty with us, the sultan of swing, the king of all all-rounders,
00:01:25 I have got the great Wasim Akram.
00:01:27 Good evening and welcome Wasim.
00:01:29 Good evening, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
00:01:31 Alright, first of all, let's take a look at the match summary.
00:01:35 This is how it went down.
00:01:37 Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat and Pakistan scored 270 runs.
00:01:43 They were all out in 46.4 overs.
00:01:47 Those 18 balls that Pakistan did not, those actually remaining overs that Pakistan did
00:01:52 not bat, well that now eventually has hurt Pakistan.
00:01:56 But Saud Shakeel there with a very nice half century, looked very mature, very composed.
00:02:02 Captain Baba coming in with another half century and then Shahdaab with that wonderful innings
00:02:07 of 43.
00:02:08 The Saud-Shahdaab partnership, a lot of people talk about.
00:02:11 Rizwan showed a lot of intent, unfortunately he was out for 31.
00:02:14 Pakistan all out in 46.4 and Tabrez Shamsi was brought in with a toss and did he deliver
00:02:19 or what?
00:02:20 He did, 4 for 60 and Hanson there picking up 3 for 43.
00:02:24 Then in reply, it was a very interesting chase for South Africa.
00:02:30 At one point it looked like a comfortable win in sight but then it became topsy-turvy
00:02:35 and from there onwards it went on.
00:02:38 One of the thrilling games of this World Cup.
00:02:41 Unfortunately for Babar, his match winner, Nawaz could not deliver the goods one more
00:02:47 time in a critical pressure situation giving a very loose delivery down the leg side which
00:02:52 eventually finished the game up for South Africa.
00:02:56 But great innings there.
00:02:57 Afridi there picking up 3 for 45, Osama 2 for 45 and Waseem 2 for 50.
00:03:03 South Africa win this by one wicket.
00:03:05 And with this let's take a look at the points table.
00:03:08 Right there you have the points table and South Africa zooming past.
00:03:12 Straight to the top of the table with a very healthy net run rate and 10 points.
00:03:18 India now pushed down to second place.
00:03:20 New Zealand holds on to the third place.
00:03:22 Australia holding on to the fourth place.
00:03:24 Sri Lanka go up to the fifth place.
00:03:27 Pakistan pushed down to the sixth place.
00:03:29 Afghanistan seventh.
00:03:30 Bangladesh eighth.
00:03:32 Defending champions England ninth.
00:03:34 Netherlands on the tenth.
00:03:36 Remember that the top four are the ones that are going to play the semi-finals.
00:03:39 The bottom two will have to play the qualifiers next time round.
00:03:43 And that's your points table.
00:03:45 Alright Waseem let me bring it up to you straight away.
00:03:49 So close yet so far away.
00:03:51 Yes in the end they made a game out of it.
00:03:53 Pakistani bowlers Haris bowled his heart out.
00:03:55 It's good to see Waseem making an impact in this game because he's got the talent we all
00:04:00 knew.
00:04:01 He didn't get a consistent chance but today he showed that he had the pace and he put
00:04:06 the batsmen to work in the beginning.
00:04:09 Consistent 140 bowling.
00:04:10 That's a good sign.
00:04:11 Couple of mistakes in the end I think.
00:04:14 This is my opinion.
00:04:16 And when a team does something wrong or something bad happens it's normal to criticise it.
00:04:22 And I think when Nawaz has got the last over we'll attack all of Nawaz for some odd reason.
00:04:29 But Usama had two overs left.
00:04:32 Who was bowling better?
00:04:33 Who was bowling better?
00:04:34 These guys will second my kind of suggestion.
00:04:39 Usama Mir.
00:04:40 Who was going to?
00:04:42 Who was going to baffle the tail ender with mystery googly and leg spinner?
00:04:46 Alright.
00:04:47 Before that 3-4 overs were not good but in the end he took 2 wickets.
00:04:50 He took Usama as well.
00:04:51 45 runs and 8 wickets.
00:04:52 And there were 3 overs left.
00:04:53 If Usama had bowled instead of Nawaz, if the next over had come it would have been
00:04:58 Nawaz and then the last over you would have come for Usama.
00:05:00 The rest of the captains have been fine.
00:05:02 You got your main bowlers to bowl and you got wickets.
00:05:05 But I don't understand why Nawaz bowled there.
00:05:08 He didn't have confidence.
00:05:10 And plus, Misbah and Shoaib have been telling us for a long time, I don't have much idea
00:05:15 about spinners but I have experience.
00:05:17 When a spinner bowls from here, not from the top, his ball is coming from here.
00:05:21 It means that the ball that comes in, the ball that comes in will drift down the leg side.
00:05:26 And I think that was a massive mistake.
00:05:29 When you need less runs and your main bowler is taking wickets, especially at that stage,
00:05:35 that didn't happen.
00:05:36 That was a massive mistake by our captain.
00:05:38 Well, you know, captaincy mistakes have happened.
00:05:41 But let me take you, Misbah, let me bring this to you.
00:05:44 Pakistan again, not batting out.
00:05:46 They didn't bat out their entire 50 overs.
00:05:49 In 47 overs, our team was all out.
00:05:52 In this entire World Cup, apart from the Afghanistan match, Pakistan played their entire 50 overs.
00:05:57 Apart from that, in any match, they didn't bat out their 50 overs.
00:06:01 This, I mean, this is a failure of the top order, middle or tail.
00:06:06 I mean, why did we consistently have this issue?
00:06:09 Look, if you look at it today, like Waseem Bhai spoke about, that was the end.
00:06:15 You needed 5 runs, anything could have happened.
00:06:17 It could have been Osama, it could have been Osama's.
00:06:20 But you were out 20 balls early.
00:06:22 46.2 overs.
00:06:24 You played a little sensibly there.
00:06:27 Nawaz was set at that time.
00:06:29 If you have done 10-12 more runs, then you can see at the end how valuable those runs were.
00:06:35 So I would say that this game cost us because of game awareness.
00:06:41 If we talk about their tail-enders, they were under pressure.
00:06:44 The last 21 runs they did were a very difficult situation.
00:06:48 But one thing they did, which we didn't do, they just stood there.
00:06:53 They said, "Balls will come, we're not hitting them.
00:06:56 The ball will hit us and go here and there, we'll get runs."
00:06:59 So that was one difference.
00:07:01 And you're absolutely right, we played a great match, we fought well.
00:07:08 The way our fast bowlers and team efforted.
00:07:12 But there are mistakes.
00:07:14 Every batsman of yours got a start.
00:07:17 No one played that 91-keening that Mark Ram played.
00:07:22 There were small total of 50, 31, 21, 52, 43, 24.
00:07:28 There was a slight difference.
00:07:30 If there was a longer inning, there would have been a difference.
00:07:33 But overall, I think the way Pakistan played today,
00:07:40 and the way they came back and showed the effort to the last ball,
00:07:44 that was something special.
00:07:47 I think Pakistani fans around the world would be very happy with that effort.
00:07:50 Because we used to say that defeat and victory is part of the game,
00:07:53 but we should see a fight.
00:07:55 And you're right, our fast bowlers fought well today.
00:07:59 But you'll see that every lucky bowler has a leg before decision.
00:08:02 I'll come to that leg before, it's very important.
00:08:04 Because Mohin had very strong reservations about that appeal,
00:08:11 which was called for by the umpires when the review was taken.
00:08:15 Mohin, what do you think could have been and did not happen?
00:08:20 I would say it's the umpire's mistake.
00:08:23 He should have given an out.
00:08:24 Because the impact we saw,
00:08:27 he could have seen the leg stump.
00:08:29 If we get this replay in slow motion,
00:08:31 we can clearly see that you could see the stump on the leg stump.
00:08:34 So it should have been a clear finish.
00:08:37 We've discussed this a couple of times in this tournament.
00:08:40 Now you can see the leg stump.
00:08:44 It was clearly an out.
00:08:45 The umpire should have given an out.
00:08:47 If the review was taken, we would have seen what was happening.
00:08:51 But the clipping that was shown in the end,
00:08:53 I think it was a wrong clipping.
00:08:55 The ball was supposed to hit the entire leg stump.
00:08:59 The ball was supposed to hit the entire leg stump.
00:09:01 Just bad luck there, umpire scored.
00:09:04 Normally, throughout this world cup,
00:09:06 umpires give out like this.
00:09:08 Just clipping, even today, in this match.
00:09:11 We saw it in Warner the other day.
00:09:14 And Steve Smith, how was Steve Smith?
00:09:17 It looked like an off spinner's ball.
00:09:20 That's why people might not agree with me.
00:09:22 I've been saying it since the DRS came.
00:09:25 Technology is meant to be 100%.
00:09:28 It should be 100% with all the information in technology nowadays.
00:09:33 But it's 98% accurate apparently.
00:09:37 The umpire's goal is to score a goal.
00:09:39 When the docent go out,
00:09:41 umpire's goal is a big issue that needs to be sorted out.
00:09:46 Either way, if you want to keep it out,
00:09:50 if the umpire has given a nut out, then it should be out.
00:09:53 And if you want to keep the nut out,
00:09:56 then in any case, keep the nut out.
00:09:58 In between, the favour, the benefit of the doubt
00:10:02 only goes to the umpire.
00:10:04 Then how can the bowler or the bowling captain,
00:10:07 how can they be sure if it will go in or not?
00:10:11 You're giving a disadvantage to the batsman.
00:10:14 If it goes in, you're out.
00:10:16 You're giving the umpire a benefit.
00:10:18 I've told them so many times
00:10:20 to do this, not to accept the umpire's mistake.
00:10:24 The numbers you give him, it's a marking.
00:10:27 But just finish the umpires.
00:10:30 Right, friends.
00:10:31 We'll take a short break right here on The Pavilion.
00:10:33 But when we come back, there's more to talk about this game.
00:10:35 Don't go away. Keep watching our A-Sports,
00:10:37 ARY Zap-App and 10 Sports.
00:10:39 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
00:10:43 I'm Fakhr-e-Anam. You're watching A-Sports, 10 Sports and the ARY Zap-App.
00:10:46 Our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 from India.
00:10:49 The news from Chennai is that South Africa has defeated Pakistan in this match.
00:10:53 That makes Pakistan's worst losing streak in World Cups.
00:10:56 Pakistan has never lost 4 consecutive matches in the World Cup.
00:10:59 This is the first time in Pakistan's history
00:11:01 that Pakistan has lost 4 consecutive World Cup matches.
00:11:04 And this is the first time South Africa has chased such a big run versus Pakistan.
00:11:09 So, congratulations to South Africa and all the South African fans out there.
00:11:13 Your team truly played well and deserved this victory.
00:11:16 For Pakistan, a lot of question marks about some decisions.
00:11:21 We had some bad luck with us on the umpiring.
00:11:23 The thing we talked about a while ago,
00:11:25 Mohit was talking about it.
00:11:28 But now, let's get into the nitty-gritties of the performance.
00:11:31 Let's start with the first innings when Pakistan batted.
00:11:34 So, let's analyse that part first.
00:11:37 Abdullah Shafiq not really getting a start neither.
00:11:40 Both the openers failing today again.
00:11:42 It was Babar Azam who had to come out there and then kind of steady the innings
00:11:45 with the help of Mohammad Rizwan who showed a lot of intent today.
00:11:49 Same problem, Misma, for the top order?
00:11:52 Not getting the combination right?
00:11:54 What's the issue in our top order?
00:11:57 I don't know. We were in a great situation on the exchange today.
00:12:03 Looking at the venue, the average score,
00:12:06 we could see that if we play the whole overs,
00:12:09 we are just heading towards 300 marks.
00:12:13 Maybe it could have been better.
00:12:15 But somehow, we kept on losing wickets.
00:12:18 We made a slight change in the middle.
00:12:21 Iftikhar came first.
00:12:22 We were talking about how he struggles in the middle period when the spinners are on.
00:12:27 Shamsi came to bowl at that time.
00:12:30 He was our best spinner.
00:12:33 Let's start with the top order. Let's focus on the top order.
00:12:35 We come down the order one by one.
00:12:37 Let's talk about how Imam-ul-Haq got out.
00:12:40 How was the set-up done and how he was taken out of the equation?
00:12:43 I think the plan was set.
00:12:46 We were looking at Abdullah Shafiq.
00:12:48 He was bounced a little high.
00:12:50 Then we set up Imam on the bouncer.
00:12:54 And exactly the same fielder.
00:12:57 He took a little fourth slip in the lane.
00:13:00 And even the point fielder was inside.
00:13:02 Misbah, take us through.
00:13:03 Let's show you the wicket of Imam on the screen.
00:13:05 Take us through.
00:13:06 Because it was set up properly.
00:13:08 And I think at this level, a batsman would be able to understand that he is being set up.
00:13:13 We are trying to bring that up on your screen right now.
00:13:15 And I would ask Misbah-ul-Haq to take us through that.
00:13:17 Exactly, if you remember the match against India.
00:13:21 Imam was bowled early and inside.
00:13:24 And then they kept the same field.
00:13:26 Three people were in the square of the wicket.
00:13:29 And they pushed Imam at this exact spot.
00:13:33 Where they were caught behind.
00:13:35 Either you would have been caught behind or you would have been shot.
00:13:40 So the three fielders who were standing, they had to go anywhere.
00:13:44 I want to add on to this.
00:13:46 We saw Imam-ul-Haq was getting out on a full shot.
00:13:49 He got out 2-3 times on that.
00:13:52 What they did was, they were making bumpers.
00:13:55 Which we call bouncers.
00:13:57 They started ducking.
00:13:59 They came on B plan.
00:14:01 They said, "Imam, what are you doing?"
00:14:03 They kept it like this.
00:14:04 The ball goes to the third man and becomes single.
00:14:07 They come here, they glance.
00:14:09 Here they get a single.
00:14:10 They said, "Okay, now we will take out our slip and keep it in the lane."
00:14:14 "We will play outside off stump."
00:14:16 They went on B plan.
00:14:18 When they went on B plan, they had already played 18 balls.
00:14:22 They had 12 runs.
00:14:24 They attempted that shot.
00:14:26 Which went in the lane.
00:14:27 First, they didn't succeed on A plan.
00:14:30 They went on B plan.
00:14:32 They should have countered.
00:14:34 Which they couldn't.
00:14:35 Now we come to Abdullah Shafiq.
00:14:37 Mohin bhai has made a big deal out of Abdullah Shafiq.
00:14:40 I am not writing about Abdullah, I am writing about something else.
00:14:42 Carry on.
00:14:44 I am writing about a small deal.
00:14:46 Okay.
00:14:48 I am listening to you very carefully.
00:14:50 Yes, Abdullah Shafiq.
00:14:51 You worry.
00:14:52 Look, Abdullah Shafiq is in good form.
00:14:54 We saw that he was playing the last ball well.
00:14:58 And his attempt was absolutely right.
00:15:01 Absolutely right.
00:15:02 His attempt was just a little unlucky.
00:15:04 Normally, he doesn't play the shot down.
00:15:06 And he shouldn't play like this.
00:15:08 He went to play high.
00:15:09 But the connection with the ball's bat wasn't such that it crossed the boundary.
00:15:13 Because of which this happened.
00:15:15 Babar was like this.
00:15:16 Babar made a great century.
00:15:19 Mohin.
00:15:20 And we were talking about this in the half time.
00:15:23 Let's show you Babar's wicket.
00:15:25 Mohin, look at it carefully.
00:15:27 And tell us what is going wrong in that sweep shot.
00:15:30 Because you used to play great sweeps in your time.
00:15:33 So I am sure you will be able to guide us through.
00:15:35 What went wrong there and what you should not do.
00:15:37 Okay.
00:15:38 Look, he didn't come in the line of the ball.
00:15:41 That's the first thing.
00:15:42 And his weight at the end.
00:15:44 Look at this.
00:15:45 I don't think so that he is in the line of the ball.
00:15:47 He went far from the ball.
00:15:49 And his gaze also went away from the ball.
00:15:51 Because of the weight going to the right side and the tilt.
00:15:55 At the end, his gloves came out.
00:15:59 Because of which, at the end, he got hurt.
00:16:02 He is not looking at the ball.
00:16:04 He is not looking at the ball.
00:16:05 He is not looking at the ball.
00:16:06 I think, I will say this is one of the bad luck.
00:16:08 But the attempt he made, I think he should have come in the line of the ball.
00:16:12 Then he would have played the sweep.
00:16:14 I think he should have gone for a full-blooded shot.
00:16:16 He should have been in the middle.
00:16:17 Yes, the sweep.
00:16:18 This is a technical thing that Mohin Bhai explained and Mishpa Bhai explained.
00:16:20 I will go to the tactical side.
00:16:22 If we look at Virat, he doesn't play the sweep.
00:16:26 And on this side, there was a short mid-wicket.
00:16:29 There was a fielder standing behind him.
00:16:31 He was standing in the middle of the square leg and mid-wicket.
00:16:34 There was a short fine leg standing there.
00:16:35 A little wide.
00:16:36 These were the four fielders who were bowling for Shamsi.
00:16:41 So if Babar didn't play this shot before 50, then you didn't need it later.
00:16:46 We didn't see that.
00:16:47 Virat doesn't play that shot.
00:16:49 He backs the shots that have his strengths.
00:16:53 And if Babar was playing this shot, then Makram came before him.
00:16:58 There was no square leg behind him.
00:16:59 He didn't try this shot.
00:17:01 So when you took the team from one place to another, you gave them hope.
00:17:06 That we can reach the target or achieve it.
00:17:09 So if you don't have this shot, then don't play that shot.
00:17:12 This was a mistake, but I am sure what Mohin Bhai and Mishpa Bhai told us.
00:17:16 We were talking about the technical side.
00:17:17 But very good.
00:17:18 That's a very good tactical point that you bring into this conversation.
00:17:21 Now let's go to the talk about the pride.
00:17:23 Shamsi was brought for a role.
00:17:25 And he played that role in a very good way.
00:17:28 And you are right that Shamsi is celebrating.
00:17:31 Because today, the player to watch out.
00:17:33 Random. I am sad like you guys.
00:17:35 But you took his name to be the player of the match.
00:17:39 And he was. He was from South Africa.
00:17:42 So you should be happy about that.
00:17:43 Because I knew.
00:17:44 I knew that he will be trapped in the Asia Cup from Kuldeep.
00:17:47 And that happened.
00:17:48 Not once, but twice.
00:17:50 He got trapped here too.
00:17:51 Then I knew that Shetab Rehman.
00:17:53 I told him in the morning that he will feed him.
00:17:55 South Africans know Pakistan's record.
00:17:57 It's not good against left arm leg spinners.
00:18:00 And this problem not just now.
00:18:02 Take the last PSL.
00:18:04 The last PSL Tabrez was with us.
00:18:06 The two or three matches he played, he had to go.
00:18:09 He got wickets.
00:18:10 Because nobody could read him in Pakistan.
00:18:12 Unfortunately.
00:18:13 But now the question is.
00:18:14 How these boys can improve against the left arm leg spinner.
00:18:19 All the teams that you have, they will bring him along.
00:18:22 They will feed him.
00:18:23 Noor Ahmed, Kuldeep, Tabrez Shamsi.
00:18:26 And this has been happening for the last four years.
00:18:28 Again, same thing.
00:18:30 And the normal thing that was happening.
00:18:33 The Iftikhar that they should promote him.
00:18:36 It was okay when Tabrez Shamsi was playing.
00:18:40 And we saw that they delayed it too.
00:18:42 So I think the tactical change.
00:18:44 If you had made the mind to feed Iftikhar for Rs. 500.
00:18:47 At that time when you saw that Tabrez was bowling.
00:18:51 I think that time, your Sau Chakil.
00:18:55 The one who plays the spinners well.
00:18:57 He should have been sent.
00:18:59 The role of Iftikhar at the end.
00:19:02 I think he should have been out there.
00:19:05 I think he should have played sensible.
00:19:07 The bowler you don't understand.
00:19:10 The shot was like that.
00:19:13 It was okay if it hit or not.
00:19:15 I think he was surviving a little.
00:19:19 Normally he was getting singles.
00:19:21 And you were playing easily.
00:19:23 He started taking charge of the other bowlers.
00:19:25 See, Iftikhar is coming in front of you.
00:19:27 It was the first game of Shamsi.
00:19:30 And this was a googly.
00:19:32 This was a googly of the left arm leg spinner.
00:19:34 And if we see, the mid-off was up.
00:19:36 If he had checked the hand.
00:19:38 He could have easily hit the chip.
00:19:40 That would have been six runs.
00:19:42 If it wasn't six, then at least the mid-off was up.
00:19:44 You could have got four runs.
00:19:46 Normally we don't see Iftikhar.
00:19:48 He hits down the wicket.
00:19:50 He stays in the wicket.
00:19:52 But the confidence he got.
00:19:54 He hit six in the last game.
00:19:57 Against Maharaj.
00:19:59 I think because of that he got a little confidence.
00:20:02 But Malik spoke about the read ball.
00:20:04 He misplaced it.
00:20:06 If he had pushed it on the mid-off, it could have been six.
00:20:08 But you...
00:20:10 Sorry, Misma, I want to come to you.
00:20:13 After the break.
00:20:15 Before we go into the break.
00:20:17 You told Shamsi that there is a way to read.
00:20:21 And I think someone has missed that trick.
00:20:23 We are going to talk about that.
00:20:25 You are watching The Pavilion.
00:20:27 We will see you after this break.
00:20:29 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
00:20:33 You are watching Sports and Sports in the ARY Zap app.
00:20:35 And the news out of Chennai is that South Africa
00:20:37 has won their game against Pakistan.
00:20:39 And this is for the first time in 10 years
00:20:41 that South Africa has beaten Pakistan
00:20:43 in an ICC event.
00:20:45 Their 10-year-long battle
00:20:47 was not able to defeat Pakistan in any ICC event.
00:20:49 Today it broke.
00:20:51 And with that we were talking with our panellists.
00:20:53 I have got Shoaib Malik, Misma Al Haq, Mohin Khan and Wasim Akram with me.
00:20:55 Before going into the break, Misma,
00:20:57 we were talking about Tabrez Shamsi's bowling.
00:20:59 How he got out of the pitch.
00:21:01 And you said that there is a way to read
00:21:03 what he is going to do.
00:21:05 If you are not able to pick with your hands,
00:21:07 then another thing is that
00:21:09 if you consistently watch his bowling,
00:21:11 whenever he
00:21:13 goes for a googly
00:21:15 with the right-hander,
00:21:17 he does it with the middle leg.
00:21:19 If the ball is on the middle leg,
00:21:21 if you play it googly,
00:21:23 then it is not a problem for you.
00:21:25 If the ball comes from the inside
00:21:27 of the legspin,
00:21:29 if you play it straight,
00:21:31 then it is not a problem for you.
00:21:33 And the ball that goes a little off-stump,
00:21:35 that ball is bringing the ball
00:21:37 from outside of the off-stump.
00:21:39 All these balls are coming from there.
00:21:41 If you watch it from the line,
00:21:43 you can understand
00:21:45 what he is doing.
00:21:47 This ball was on the middle stump.
00:21:49 Whatever he is doing googly,
00:21:51 he is doing it from here.
00:21:53 So, when you are not able to pick
00:21:55 with your hands,
00:21:57 then you try to keep this in mind
00:21:59 and adjust accordingly.
00:22:01 Ok, so this is done.
00:22:03 Let's talk about Saud Shakeel.
00:22:05 We saw a very mature
00:22:07 innings from Saud Shakeel
00:22:09 in the middle order.
00:22:11 He is a good player.
00:22:13 He has got good technique,
00:22:15 good head on his shoulders,
00:22:17 under pressure, run a ball.
00:22:19 Unfortunately, he couldn't go to the end.
00:22:21 Samshi has outed him.
00:22:23 That is the problem in the middle order.
00:22:25 But overall, coming back to his innings,
00:22:27 7-4
00:22:29 played really well against the fast bowlers.
00:22:31 He knew where the fielders were,
00:22:33 where he had to shoot.
00:22:35 He hit the ball on the left side,
00:22:37 in front of the stadium.
00:22:39 He also hit the spinners on the inside.
00:22:41 The pick up shot was excellent.
00:22:43 Overall, I think he is a very good cricketer.
00:22:45 I am glad Pakistan have found
00:22:47 this young batter,
00:22:49 especially in the middle order at no. 45.
00:22:51 When the ball falls on 5-6,
00:22:53 he keeps it in a tight position.
00:22:55 Right. So, this was his dismissal
00:22:59 on the back foot.
00:23:01 He wanted to cut it.
00:23:03 But he got a great ball.
00:23:05 He has bounced a little more.
00:23:07 He said in his interview
00:23:09 that there was a difference
00:23:11 between the last two wickets.
00:23:13 The spinner was getting an extra bounce.
00:23:15 Interestingly, he also said
00:23:17 that he thought he changed the batting order
00:23:19 and sent Iftikhar to the top.
00:23:21 He said that he will play the role
00:23:23 that the team will give him.
00:23:25 That's the way it should be.
00:23:27 That's the perfect answer to come
00:23:29 from a professional cricketer.
00:23:31 He signed the contract and I played.
00:23:33 I think he played very well.
00:23:35 Although the number has changed.
00:23:37 There was no difference.
00:23:39 It was a very
00:23:41 pressure situation.
00:23:43 If Shadab and his innings had not been
00:23:45 scored, we would not have had a chance.
00:23:47 Yes, absolutely.
00:23:49 It's not that he just consumed the ball.
00:23:51 He attacked and hit the wickets.
00:23:53 It was a positive innings.
00:23:55 I was saying that you were
00:23:57 talking about how to pick Shamsi.
00:23:59 What should be the strategy?
00:24:01 When you are playing,
00:24:03 you have to practice and
00:24:05 do your homework.
00:24:07 The first thing is that
00:24:09 the Pakistan team, unfortunately,
00:24:11 which has been in Sri Lanka for the last three months,
00:24:13 I think there should have been
00:24:15 a camp here.
00:24:17 You have so much talent in Pakistan.
00:24:19 There are such bowlers in Pakistan
00:24:21 against whom you could have
00:24:23 practiced extra.
00:24:25 He has played two test matches.
00:24:27 He has played T20.
00:24:29 He could have played in the check-up.
00:24:31 Yes, he could have played.
00:24:33 But we should assume that
00:24:35 if you are playing, you have to take a break.
00:24:37 I think it would have been
00:24:39 better if the Pakistan team had
00:24:41 set up a camp before going.
00:24:43 Where every individual would practice.
00:24:45 You would have called those opponents
00:24:47 who are like bowlers to the camp.
00:24:49 You would have invited anyone.
00:24:51 You would have prepared.
00:24:53 The problem was that the immediate solution
00:24:55 was to pick the opponent from the hand.
00:24:57 You know, the line was in game.
00:24:59 The two young boys,
00:25:01 Faisal Akram and Sufian,
00:25:03 I think his name is.
00:25:05 One of them was in Lahore
00:25:07 in the clinical camp they had.
00:25:09 I have a question, Wasim.
00:25:11 Sorry, I am just going to bring.
00:25:13 They said that they didn't set up a camp
00:25:15 before going. Why didn't they set up a camp
00:25:17 before going to play the World Cup?
00:25:19 Because we were busy playing cricket.
00:25:21 The idea of a camp is to play cricket.
00:25:23 We had the World Cup in Sri Lanka.
00:25:25 Then we had the Asia Cup.
00:25:27 Three ODIs against Afghanistan.
00:25:29 Then the Asia Cup.
00:25:31 Then the Asia Cup ended on 20th.
00:25:33 There was a gap of 10 days.
00:25:35 During that time, your board also changed.
00:25:37 No one knew if you had gone to the LPL
00:25:39 or not.
00:25:41 But if you pick a wrist spinner,
00:25:43 just to pick,
00:25:45 as a batter,
00:25:47 I don't know about the habits,
00:25:49 but when you tackle it,
00:25:51 you have to understand that.
00:25:53 When you don't understand the hand,
00:25:55 you don't understand the googly,
00:25:57 you don't understand the flipper,
00:25:59 then make sure you don't stand in front
00:26:01 of the stumps as a batter.
00:26:03 And make sure that if you can't judge
00:26:05 the hand, unless it has bowled
00:26:07 very close to you, then you go to the
00:26:09 front foot. Otherwise, you play more
00:26:11 on the back foot. Play on the back foot
00:26:13 but play straight. Play in V.
00:26:15 So that it doesn't happen that you
00:26:17 don't get five wrist spinners.
00:26:19 That's what happens in most teams.
00:26:21 It's a very strange thing,
00:26:23 but I think it can
00:26:25 definitely be beneficial.
00:26:27 All the batters,
00:26:29 should try to keep up
00:26:31 with the wrist spinners.
00:26:33 Keep up with them.
00:26:35 Just to pick their hand.
00:26:37 And when you play,
00:26:39 you have a lot of advantage.
00:26:41 I had told you that I had gone to Sri Lanka
00:26:43 to play for Sandak. We tried to
00:26:45 get two or three bowlers in Pakistan,
00:26:47 Faisal Akram,
00:26:49 and a few more bowlers,
00:26:51 who used to do left arm leg spin.
00:26:53 And there was a separate net
00:26:55 for them,
00:26:57 where every pair had to bat
00:26:59 for an hour.
00:27:01 And you have to call.
00:27:03 As soon as the ball releases,
00:27:05 you have to tell them if it was a leg spin,
00:27:07 a googly, or a flipper.
00:27:09 So that you can closely watch it.
00:27:11 And it was for a short period.
00:27:13 We didn't get much
00:27:15 of a difference.
00:27:17 But if the batsmen know
00:27:19 that they have been struggling
00:27:21 with this for the past four years,
00:27:23 then they should play it every day,
00:27:25 every hour, until you start
00:27:27 picking the ball.
00:27:29 You said that you have to go
00:27:31 and assess the combinations.
00:27:33 And again,
00:27:35 the team didn't gel.
00:27:37 Improvement in many areas.
00:27:39 And there are holes in the team.
00:27:41 So were these not the same holes?
00:27:43 Or were these not the same holes
00:27:45 that we were talking about
00:27:47 since October 4?
00:27:49 These were the same holes,
00:27:51 but you can't see them from England.
00:27:53 This is a very important point.
00:27:55 What we do here,
00:27:57 they said it
00:27:59 in a very good way.
00:28:01 There is no need to blame anyone.
00:28:03 We have a habit.
00:28:05 You don't talk about the Chief Selector,
00:28:07 or the coaches.
00:28:09 Unfortunately, somebody has to break
00:28:11 the rules.
00:28:13 If you don't do well,
00:28:15 if you don't qualify,
00:28:17 you will get criticized.
00:28:19 And that's normal.
00:28:21 You will get axed.
00:28:23 Vicky Arthur was voting for a job
00:28:25 and so was the remaining coaching staff.
00:28:27 If you don't deliver,
00:28:29 and then you tell us after we are
00:28:31 pretty much sealed in this World Cup,
00:28:33 that there is no way to go ahead.
00:28:35 Two tournaments.
00:28:37 Two tournaments.
00:28:39 We have clips.
00:28:41 We have press conferences.
00:28:43 What are the holes?
00:28:45 I am saying that
00:28:47 were they the same holes
00:28:49 that we were talking about
00:28:51 that you should have a proper spinner?
00:28:53 Was it the same hole that they are talking about
00:28:55 that they are seeing now?
00:28:57 So, Vaseem was right about Vicky Arthur.
00:28:59 And again, no disrespect to anybody,
00:29:01 but I am sure that
00:29:03 Vicky is not good enough.
00:29:05 By no means
00:29:07 is he good enough,
00:29:09 whatever you just said over there.
00:29:11 We love our boys.
00:29:13 Our boys did show that they put their hearts
00:29:15 on their sleeves today.
00:29:17 And we appreciate Babar Azam and his team today
00:29:19 for the fight that they put up.
00:29:21 This was the team that we were looking for
00:29:23 in the last three matches.
00:29:25 But now for you to come on television
00:29:27 and say, "Hey, don't blame us.
00:29:29 We'll go back and we'll assess
00:29:31 and we'll plug the holes and we'll do that."
00:29:33 Not good enough.
00:29:35 So, with that, we're going to take a break.
00:29:37 We'll see you on the other side.
00:29:39 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
00:29:43 I am Fakhr-Anand. You're watching Sports and Sports and the AYSFF.
00:29:45 The news out of Chennai.
00:29:47 Not good for Pakistani fans today.
00:29:49 Very disappointed fans.
00:29:51 We're seeing our social feeds.
00:29:53 And we see fans very angry and angry,
00:29:55 which is a normal reaction.
00:29:57 But at least we should all be happy that we saw
00:29:59 a really good team effort there by Babar Azam and the boys.
00:30:01 They tried to fight this one.
00:30:03 They tried to win the games.
00:30:05 However, before we go on break,
00:30:07 we were talking about Mickey Arthur's press conference.
00:30:09 He just spoke about the match.
00:30:11 He said there are a lot of holes
00:30:13 and we'll assess our combinations
00:30:15 and fix a lot of things.
00:30:17 And we have to improve in a lot of areas.
00:30:19 I want to ask you a question, Wasim.
00:30:21 When we were losing the match against India,
00:30:23 Mickey Arthur gave a press conference
00:30:25 and said that the ground was not in Pakistan's favour.
00:30:27 Then he said,
00:30:29 "Yes, there is no problem.
00:30:31 India will be in the semi-final or final."
00:30:33 I mean, weren't we getting too ahead of ourselves?
00:30:35 And then today,
00:30:37 it's a totally different statement.
00:30:39 Because back then, he was saying,
00:30:41 "We're sure-shot. There was just bad luck."
00:30:43 But today, he's saying,
00:30:45 "No, no, don't blame anyone."
00:30:47 But we knew that we had seen all of this.
00:30:49 I suppose after today's defeat,
00:30:51 he's kind of lost as well himself.
00:30:53 He didn't know what he was saying.
00:30:55 Obviously, he has told us a few problems
00:30:57 that he should have told us three months ago.
00:30:59 And it is tough.
00:31:01 I'm not blaming anyone.
00:31:03 Look, I don't want to be a broken record.
00:31:05 I don't want to forget it.
00:31:07 But if a cricket director is living in England,
00:31:09 he comes two days before the World Cup,
00:31:11 he comes for three days in the Asia Cup,
00:31:13 then he's gone back.
00:31:15 How is that going to work?
00:31:17 Please, somebody explain that to me.
00:31:19 I think that he was kept on a mission.
00:31:21 Sorry, I was saying this before the break.
00:31:23 These are the holes that are not visible from London.
00:31:25 Yes, they are not visible from this far.
00:31:27 The way he has been appointed,
00:31:29 I think that no one wanted him to be kept.
00:31:31 But the chairman intervened himself
00:31:33 and said, "No, I want him to be kept."
00:31:35 I was encouraged.
00:31:37 Yes, I was encouraged.
00:31:39 I think that people should think about this.
00:31:41 People who are political influences
00:31:43 and come to the cricket boards.
00:31:45 And at the cost of Pakistan cricket,
00:31:47 which is the only thing left in the country
00:31:49 that we have a cricket team.
00:31:51 I think that the only thing
00:31:53 that is left in the country
00:31:55 that is our binding force
00:31:57 that unites the nation.
00:31:59 So, we should have thought about this.
00:32:01 That it is not available.
00:32:03 It is not physically available.
00:32:05 How can a coach do coaching?
00:32:07 I completely agree.
00:32:09 In a deeply divided and polarized society,
00:32:11 there is a very strong bond with cricket
00:32:13 when the Pakistan team performs well.
00:32:15 And that's why I would request
00:32:17 all the decision makers
00:32:19 who are the doers of this country,
00:32:21 that in the coming days,
00:32:23 don't make political appointments.
00:32:25 And our elders,
00:32:27 we respect them,
00:32:29 they have become obsolete.
00:32:31 The last 3-4 chairmen who have gone,
00:32:33 they have become obsolete.
00:32:35 Please try to understand,
00:32:37 we have to move forward.
00:32:39 If you keep putting people
00:32:41 from the 80s and 90s on our heads,
00:32:43 then our cricket will get stuck there.
00:32:45 You get someone who is 60, 65,
00:32:47 who has got experience in managing us.
00:32:49 Till 2004, you had 4 international world titles.
00:32:51 Snooker, Hockey,
00:32:53 Scotch, Cricket.
00:32:55 Where did all those sports go?
00:32:57 Why did they go?
00:32:59 This is what happened.
00:33:01 This is the trajectory.
00:33:03 Anyway, we have talked about this before.
00:33:05 I will stay positive.
00:33:07 The positive thing was that
00:33:09 today we saw our kids, our team,
00:33:11 Babar Azam, our boys, fighting.
00:33:13 This is another thing that Babar Azam's
00:33:15 match winner, Nawaz, whom he respected so much,
00:33:17 he always gave confidence.
00:33:19 And then the same thing is that
00:33:21 sometimes Babar Azam gets more criticism.
00:33:23 When your captain gives so much confidence,
00:33:25 at such an important time,
00:33:27 if someone gives a job,
00:33:29 that you have to do this over,
00:33:31 although it is a separate debate
00:33:33 whether it should have been given to
00:33:35 Osama Mir or Nawaz.
00:33:37 You need to deliver the goods.
00:33:39 You will find out.
00:33:41 We just saw a video on it.
00:33:43 Rizwan intervened there.
00:33:45 He was there twice.
00:33:47 You can ask both the batsmen
00:33:49 which bowler is difficult
00:33:51 to bat against.
00:33:53 He took the whole world.
00:33:55 He took the whole world.
00:33:57 He outed Mark Graham.
00:33:59 If you don't have a batsman,
00:34:01 you have the chance to take a wicket.
00:34:03 You should have been out.
00:34:05 He was there three times.
00:34:07 In any case,
00:34:09 there will be a sorrow for one thing.
00:34:11 When you see any problem,
00:34:13 you close your eyes.
00:34:15 It is the same thing.
00:34:17 The pigeon is sitting
00:34:19 and the cat is in front.
00:34:21 You close your eyes and say
00:34:23 the cat is not looking at me.
00:34:25 We saw it in the Asia Cup.
00:34:27 In the first match,
00:34:29 we out India.
00:34:31 There was a spin in the middle.
00:34:33 They struggled.
00:34:35 You saw it in the next matches
00:34:37 against Sri Lanka.
00:34:39 Our spin could not make an impact.
00:34:41 It was out of form.
00:34:43 There was no nip in the ball.
00:34:45 The ball was not falling at the right place.
00:34:47 Clearly, we basically found
00:34:49 that we are wanting
00:34:51 in the spin department at the moment.
00:34:53 We have to fix it.
00:34:55 We are going to the World Cup.
00:34:57 It is not possible that we say
00:34:59 that it will be fine by going under so much pressure.
00:35:01 It is already under pressure.
00:35:03 Very good point.
00:35:05 In that type,
00:35:07 you needed a good spinner.
00:35:09 Whether he would have done it or not,
00:35:11 it was different.
00:35:13 But confidence level is different.
00:35:15 So, taking Abrar was one department
00:35:17 where we should have definitely
00:35:19 put Abrar.
00:35:21 You are saying this since 4th April.
00:35:23 One night before the World Cup.
00:35:25 It was on the cards.
00:35:27 In India, if you are going to the World Cup
00:35:29 with this confidence.
00:35:31 One match, 19-20 will not happen.
00:35:33 Form,
00:35:35 performance, everything will get to you.
00:35:37 That's a very good point.
00:35:39 Mohin, you said a very interesting thing.
00:35:41 Let's show you the footage
00:35:43 on your screen.
00:35:45 This is the moment where they are talking.
00:35:47 Ibtekhar is standing there.
00:35:49 This is the left hand left hand left hand.
00:35:51 He is also saying to put Nawaz.
00:35:53 This is the video that I was saying.
00:35:55 I saw it.
00:35:57 Rizwan also went.
00:35:59 Nawaz was on the boundary.
00:36:01 Babar has indicated him to come.
00:36:03 Come.
00:36:05 First thing,
00:36:07 I want to say that
00:36:09 many people think that
00:36:11 Babar doesn't listen to anyone.
00:36:13 He listens.
00:36:15 He listens to the crucial situation.
00:36:17 He listens.
00:36:19 If we can see one more clip.
00:36:21 When
00:36:23 Makram got out.
00:36:25 When Maharaj was going to bat.
00:36:27 They both
00:36:29 had a word.
00:36:31 On the crossing.
00:36:33 If that comes,
00:36:35 it's a very good point.
00:36:37 We will try to bring that clip up.
00:36:39 We will have to look for it.
00:36:41 On which Mishra Bhai is speaking,
00:36:43 Wasim Bhai and Mohin Bhai are speaking.
00:36:45 We wasted the last 20 balls.
00:36:47 So,
00:36:49 I want to tell you that
00:36:51 our think tank
00:36:53 or where are our people?
00:36:55 When our end players went,
00:36:57 why weren't they given such messages?
00:36:59 That play 50 overs.
00:37:01 This is the footage of you, Shoaib.
00:37:03 The one you were talking about.
00:37:05 This is out.
00:37:07 This is out.
00:37:09 This is Maharaj going.
00:37:11 Look, they were told
00:37:15 to play all over.
00:37:17 Even if you lose the match.
00:37:19 I think if any main batter was batting this time,
00:37:21 with clarity,
00:37:23 just play.
00:37:25 The game never ends.
00:37:27 I agree with you 100%.
00:37:29 I don't agree that playing internationally
00:37:31 for your country
00:37:33 for last 5 years or more,
00:37:35 in a row.
00:37:37 These things are going to be told.
00:37:39 When there is pressure.
00:37:41 Nawaz has hit on the smock.
00:37:43 He was the only batsman at the crease.
00:37:45 At that time, he should have finished.
00:37:47 The overs at least he should have played.
00:37:49 He should have taken a chance on the boundary.
00:37:51 20, 25, 30 runs
00:37:53 could have been added on.
00:37:55 I still believe.
00:37:57 But you do need reminders.
00:37:59 Reminders are very important.
00:38:01 If you are not playing
00:38:03 50 overs in the first batting,
00:38:05 you are all out.
00:38:07 It means you are inviting
00:38:09 opponents to put pressure on you.
00:38:11 The momentum we always talk about.
00:38:13 The momentum at the end of the inning
00:38:15 starts from the next inning.
00:38:17 And in Pakistan.
00:38:19 Listening to you and Mishra,
00:38:21 who are present kind of cricketers
00:38:23 compared to me and Mohin.
00:38:25 You are saying reminders are a must.
00:38:27 At that level.
00:38:29 That means that our cricket
00:38:31 from the 90s is still going on.
00:38:33 Yes, yes. Reminders are a must.
00:38:35 People have changed.
00:38:37 We have aged.
00:38:39 Who told you that you have aged?
00:38:41 You are not old at all.
00:38:43 This thing that we have talked about.
00:38:45 The consistency that is not there
00:38:47 in the board.
00:38:49 The consistency of policies is not there.
00:38:51 The whole IIM cricket board
00:38:53 is influenced by the media.
00:38:55 The political people come.
00:38:57 This will continue.
00:38:59 I am telling you.
00:39:01 The big news is that
00:39:03 nobody is bothered about cricket.
00:39:05 One media manager is coming and one is leaving.
00:39:07 That's the massive news.
00:39:09 Come on guys. Who cares?
00:39:11 My point is not yet over.
00:39:13 Sorry, sir.
00:39:15 We have made a mess at your Jalsa.
00:39:17 You can continue.
00:39:19 You learn from the opposition.
00:39:21 I am learning from this.
00:39:23 When a person is out
00:39:25 in a crunch situation
00:39:27 and the match is so close
00:39:29 he thinks that he should not have
00:39:31 scored the shot.
00:39:33 He should have won the match.
00:39:35 What have I done?
00:39:37 But his job of Makram was not over.
00:39:39 He left the job.
00:39:41 He said no.
00:39:43 I have to give a very important
00:39:45 message to my partner.
00:39:47 How to finish the game.
00:39:49 Until the game is over
00:39:51 like bowling or batting
00:39:53 your responsibility never ends.
00:39:55 Until the game is over.
00:39:57 This is a very good message
00:39:59 for all of us.
00:40:01 It's a very good thing.
00:40:03 It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
00:40:05 With that we are going to take another break
00:40:07 on the pavilion.
00:40:09 When we come back there is more on the other side.
00:40:11 Don't go away.
00:40:13 Welcome back to the pavilion.
00:40:15 I am Fakhar Alam.
00:40:17 I have with me in the pavilion
00:40:19 Shoaib Malik, Miss Foulhug, Mohin Khan and the great Wasim Akram.
00:40:21 We are talking about the match
00:40:23 between Pakistan and South Africa in Chennai.
00:40:25 South Africa won.
00:40:27 It was a very close match.
00:40:29 We were talking about it.
00:40:31 One thing that is coming up again and again
00:40:33 is that do Pakistan have the chances
00:40:35 to reach the semi-final.
00:40:37 There are still chances.
00:40:39 And it can be like this
00:40:41 that if Pakistan wins
00:40:43 their next three matches
00:40:45 and improves their net run rate
00:40:47 and on the other hand
00:40:49 New Zealand and Australia
00:40:51 are losing some matches.
00:40:53 The lower tier teams like Bangladesh and Netherlands
00:40:55 are upsetting the big teams.
00:40:57 Then Pakistan has another chance
00:40:59 to get into the semi-final spot.
00:41:01 So it's a long journey.
00:41:03 It's a lot of hoping and wishing.
00:41:05 But having said that
00:41:07 we just want one thing
00:41:09 that the way the boys played today
00:41:11 they should have the same intent
00:41:13 determination
00:41:15 and spirit.
00:41:17 And that's all as a Pakistani fan
00:41:19 what we really want.
00:41:21 Yes, we want to see victories as well
00:41:23 but no problem.
00:41:25 Even if we lose, at least we can see it.
00:41:27 So Wasim, what should be the way forward
00:41:29 for Mickey Arthur?
00:41:31 You can see me.
00:41:33 I have to ask the question.
00:41:37 I suppose he said in his press conference
00:41:39 after the World Cup
00:41:41 that there are a lot of issues
00:41:43 with communication
00:41:45 and team gelling.
00:41:47 And there are holes in the team
00:41:49 to improve.
00:41:51 There are a lot of areas to improve.
00:41:53 So I suppose if he stays
00:41:55 then he has to come back
00:41:57 and live here
00:41:59 and be with the team.
00:42:01 The coach of the Pakistan team
00:42:03 is not just the director of the Pakistan team.
00:42:05 He is the director of the entire cricket team.
00:42:07 He has the first class
00:42:09 team, which includes the 18,
00:42:11 under 19 and under 16.
00:42:13 So he has to tell
00:42:15 the team that
00:42:17 this is also a part of the job.
00:42:19 And all these foreign players
00:42:21 and coaches
00:42:23 when they come to India
00:42:25 and Bangladesh and Afghanistan
00:42:27 what happens to their foreign coaches?
00:42:29 Our foreign coaches will meet you on the tour.
00:42:31 They will go straight to their home
00:42:33 and then two days before the tour
00:42:35 they will come to you.
00:42:37 So it should be like a job.
00:42:39 This is a one year contract
00:42:41 and you will get
00:42:43 45 days, 60 days off.
00:42:45 When you want to take it
00:42:47 you should tell us.
00:42:49 But that's not happening.
00:42:51 When you want to, you go back.
00:42:53 They are treating the national team like a league.
00:42:55 In the league, it is like this.
00:42:57 Coaches come 3-4 days before the tour.
00:42:59 It is difficult because the scheduling
00:43:01 is like this.
00:43:03 But once you are
00:43:05 with the national team
00:43:07 you have to be there.
00:43:09 You have to give your 100%
00:43:11 not just physically
00:43:13 but mentally and be there.
00:43:15 That's the part of the job.
00:43:17 That's simple. I don't know how he accepted that job.
00:43:19 But obviously I would have as well.
00:43:21 Right friends.
00:43:23 Now we will take a break.
00:43:25 But after the break, it is time for your favorite segment.
00:43:27 #AskThePavilion
00:43:29 You can see the hashtag on your screen.
00:43:31 #AskThePavilion
00:43:33 We have received a lot of questions,
00:43:35 comments, anger, sadness.
00:43:37 We have received everything.
00:43:39 But you can also send it
00:43:41 on Twitter, XTNIK, Facebook
00:43:43 and Instagram.
00:43:45 And when we come back from the break, it is going to be time
00:43:47 to answer your questions.
00:43:49 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
00:43:55 You are watching Airsports10 Sports and the Airwys app.
00:43:57 And now it is time for your favorite segment
00:43:59 which is #AskThePavilion
00:44:01 I have with me Shoaib Malik,
00:44:03 Miss Paul Haq, Mohin Khan
00:44:05 and Wasim Akram.
00:44:07 Did you just make this up?
00:44:09 Your favorite?
00:44:11 I would assume so because
00:44:13 I get so many messages.
00:44:15 I would assume so. What would you think?
00:44:17 This is not their favorite?
00:44:19 100%
00:44:21 Stay away.
00:44:23 Take your position.
00:44:25 Alright.
00:44:27 I will get into the
00:44:29 questions. I am checking the timeline
00:44:31 constantly on #AskThePavilion
00:44:33 on XTNIK and Facebook.
00:44:35 And there is one universal question
00:44:37 which I have seen 40-50 times
00:44:39 in the scrolls.
00:44:41 The last over
00:44:43 or not the last one, the one that was played
00:44:45 why was Nawaz given the over
00:44:47 and why was Osama not given the over?
00:44:49 This is one common question.
00:44:51 A lot of people have asked this.
00:44:53 And the second question is that when Shaheen Shah Fareed
00:44:55 had outed, when he was brought in
00:44:57 and had broken through, why was he not given the over?
00:44:59 Because when he was
00:45:01 introduced again, there were only 27 runs left.
00:45:03 He should have been balled through.
00:45:05 Why was he not balled through?
00:45:07 These are the two questions which have come in
00:45:09 multiple times.
00:45:11 So this is open for you. Who wants to comment on that?
00:45:13 This is a question for us too.
00:45:15 Actually, it is a question for us too.
00:45:17 But what do you think?
00:45:19 Because you all were captains.
00:45:21 So how does a captain think?
00:45:23 This is a mistake.
00:45:25 There are two mistakes.
00:45:27 When you are thinking about 50 overs,
00:45:29 then the game is over.
00:45:31 There was only one way.
00:45:33 When you leaked a few runs
00:45:35 in the beginning,
00:45:37 then the second chance
00:45:39 was over to defend this total.
00:45:41 We left
00:45:43 only one way for ourselves after that.
00:45:45 The only way we can win
00:45:47 is by getting them all out.
00:45:49 And there,
00:45:51 this question should not have come that
00:45:53 the game will go to the end.
00:45:55 We should have utilized our bowling
00:45:57 in the best way.
00:45:59 So that we could have got them all out.
00:46:01 We made some mistakes.
00:46:03 We bowled with a little effort.
00:46:05 But at the end,
00:46:07 it was a last over.
00:46:09 It is possible that Osama could have got the runs.
00:46:11 But logically,
00:46:13 the way he came in the team,
00:46:15 these are the big factors
00:46:17 in decision making.
00:46:19 How did he come in the team
00:46:21 as a concussion sub
00:46:23 and then made good catches
00:46:25 at crucial stages.
00:46:27 The ball went wrong somewhere
00:46:29 but he took crucial wickets
00:46:31 and brought them back in the game.
00:46:33 Nawaz was struggling.
00:46:35 So,
00:46:37 looking at all these things,
00:46:39 I think the decision
00:46:41 should have been very easy
00:46:43 that Osama should have bowled that over.
00:46:45 And why didn't they let Shaheen Shah
00:46:47 continue the over?
00:46:49 When he gave the breakthrough.
00:46:51 He was double minded as a leader.
00:46:53 He thought that the match
00:46:55 will go on till 50 overs.
00:46:57 So, I think
00:46:59 he was double minded.
00:47:01 That's why he didn't let Shaheen continue.
00:47:03 Bamboozled.
00:47:05 Rufi999
00:47:07 has sent a comment.
00:47:09 If Pakistan cricket team played all their previous matches
00:47:11 like they played today,
00:47:13 we would be in the top 4 today.
00:47:15 Yes, that's what we were always saying.
00:47:17 That had they always played.
00:47:19 Next question is,
00:47:21 "Why we keep Fakhar in the squad
00:47:23 as he is unfit?
00:47:25 Why we can't play Haris as an aggressive opener?"
00:47:27 Hasnain is your name.
00:47:29 Hasnain Raza is your ex-handler.
00:47:31 He is not injured.
00:47:35 I have seen him fielding.
00:47:37 He came to field today.
00:47:39 He is the other batter
00:47:41 in the 15, am I right?
00:47:43 No, not in the 15.
00:47:45 Haris is not in the 15.
00:47:47 Haris is not in the 15.
00:47:49 Haris...
00:47:51 Until the technical committee
00:47:53 declares an unfit player as unfit,
00:47:55 he is not going to take any more chances
00:47:57 in the World Cup.
00:47:59 Then you bring someone from the reserves
00:48:01 behind you.
00:48:03 That's what I am trying to explain.
00:48:05 You ask so many detailed questions
00:48:07 and then you start acting.
00:48:09 You ask him to feed the other players.
00:48:11 Why don't you feed Biraar?
00:48:13 He is not in the 15.
00:48:15 If someone is injured, he will come.
00:48:17 I think there is another thing.
00:48:19 Maybe the question they are trying to ask is
00:48:21 why he is not in the 15.
00:48:23 That's not in our control.
00:48:25 That's a better question.
00:48:27 I think what they are trying to ask
00:48:29 and they are not able to phrase it
00:48:31 is why he is not in the 15.
00:48:33 We have been saying this since day one
00:48:35 that our 15 is our mistake.
00:48:37 No matter how we play,
00:48:39 the form, everything,
00:48:41 the biggest criticism on the team management
00:48:43 is that
00:48:45 the problem in our 15 is
00:48:47 that we have those guys on the bench
00:48:49 who are difficult to replace
00:48:51 with any player.
00:48:53 We have extra batters,
00:48:55 spin bowling,
00:48:57 everyone is struggling.
00:48:59 Everyone is not able to perform
00:49:01 in that way.
00:49:03 Even the opener,
00:49:05 Fakhar is also out of form.
00:49:07 He is sitting outside.
00:49:09 One second, sorry.
00:49:11 Quick one.
00:49:13 You are talking about planning,
00:49:15 why this guy is not in the team.
00:49:17 Everybody wants to know.
00:49:19 Whether Pakistan reaches the World Cup
00:49:21 or not is highly unlikely.
00:49:23 May God help us.
00:49:25 And then you have your first test match
00:49:27 on 14th December.
00:49:29 That is in Perth.
00:49:31 The world's fastest wicket.
00:49:33 Forget about the batsmen,
00:49:35 tell me who will go to the bowlers.
00:49:37 No one has any idea.
00:49:39 I think we will find out about that.
00:49:41 We will all be keeping our eyes on that.
00:49:43 Shazia Kamran,
00:49:45 Shazia Kamran, 250.
00:49:47 Shazia Kamran, 250.
00:49:49 Your question is,
00:49:51 do you think lack of fitness
00:49:53 was one of the causes of our defeat
00:49:55 in this World Cup?
00:49:57 In my humble opinion,
00:49:59 Shazia, absolutely spot on.
00:50:01 I have been saying since Asia Cup,
00:50:03 just before Asia Cup,
00:50:05 I was there and I was watching them
00:50:07 during the game.
00:50:09 Like they said,
00:50:11 there should be a fitness test every month.
00:50:13 When did you have a fitness test?
00:50:15 Every quarter.
00:50:17 Whatever the system is,
00:50:19 whether it is weight, body fat,
00:50:21 body mass, whatever it is,
00:50:23 every two weeks.
00:50:25 Weight and fat level every two weeks.
00:50:27 I think since they have gone to Misbah,
00:50:29 since our chairman came,
00:50:31 he greeted three people,
00:50:33 "Assalam-o-Alaikum, Walekum-o-Alaikum,
00:50:35 you are not working.
00:50:37 A person runs from time,
00:50:39 waits, you know, you take a new job,
00:50:41 call everyone, ask your PCB
00:50:43 and take their advice,
00:50:45 and then make your decision.
00:50:47 I would like to add one more thing,
00:50:49 you guys had kept it quarterly,
00:50:51 but your tours,
00:50:53 I was also part of the team.
00:50:55 But your tours,
00:50:57 they were not planned.
00:50:59 They should be planned.
00:51:01 When a person is in a team
00:51:03 or a home series,
00:51:05 see, a person gets fatigued
00:51:07 when he gives fitness testing.
00:51:09 But some fitness testing were done
00:51:11 in between the series.
00:51:13 That was wrong.
00:51:15 So if someone is planning,
00:51:17 I am all in for fitness testing.
00:51:19 Fitness should be the criteria.
00:51:21 But it should be well planned.
00:51:23 It should not be like,
00:51:25 your guys are going on a tour,
00:51:27 you take their fitness test,
00:51:29 it should be planned.
00:51:31 Everything should be given with full clarity.
00:51:33 But I want to answer this,
00:51:35 this perception is wrong.
00:51:37 If you are saying,
00:51:39 we need time for fitness test,
00:51:41 to get ready,
00:51:43 I went to England Series in 2016,
00:51:45 before the series we gave fitness test.
00:51:47 We used to give fitness test daily,
00:51:49 after that we used to do net practice,
00:51:51 after that we used to play matches.
00:51:53 Fitness test is not to get fit.
00:51:55 It is to get ready.
00:51:57 Fitness test is not to get fit.
00:51:59 Fitness test means,
00:52:01 you are so fit,
00:52:03 that fitness test is a piece of cake for you.
00:52:05 So you have to do regular training,
00:52:07 to pass the fitness test.
00:52:09 You don't have to do training.
00:52:11 And if someone is saying,
00:52:13 before the series,
00:52:15 we were drained because of the fitness test.
00:52:17 Why?
00:52:19 Running 17 rounds,
00:52:21 will you get fatigued?
00:52:23 What is it?
00:52:25 It is a 2km running.
00:52:27 2km time trial,
00:52:29 it's 8 minutes.
00:52:31 If I have to do 6 reps of bench press,
00:52:33 body weight,
00:52:35 I am drained,
00:52:37 how will I play the match?
00:52:39 Very good point.
00:52:41 I agree with you.
00:52:43 There should be clarity.
00:52:45 There should be clarity.
00:52:47 Before the year,
00:52:49 you are told,
00:52:51 that at this time,
00:52:53 I was called,
00:52:55 there was an international match,
00:52:57 I was tested a day before.
00:52:59 So let's not go there.
00:53:01 I just want to tell you,
00:53:03 how can you improve?
00:53:05 There should be clarity.
00:53:07 There were many dramas in my time.
00:53:09 I had to unfit.
00:53:11 I understand, gentlemen.
00:53:13 But I would say,
00:53:15 that the fitness test,
00:53:17 should be maintained for a professional athlete,
00:53:19 throughout the year.
00:53:21 I am not talking about the fitness test.
00:53:23 And like in aviation,
00:53:25 we get a spot check.
00:53:27 We are told,
00:53:29 execute this procedure.
00:53:31 Out of the blue.
00:53:33 We are not given any preparation.
00:53:35 We can get a spot check.
00:53:37 In the same way,
00:53:39 for a professional athlete,
00:53:41 even though I am not a professional aviator,
00:53:43 I do leisure flying,
00:53:45 but I still have to go through that.
00:53:47 I would like to add one more thing.
00:53:49 It's not only fitness.
00:53:51 It's not the fault of the boys.
00:53:53 It's not their fault.
00:53:55 Like Haseem Bhai said,
00:53:57 the kind of schedule,
00:53:59 you gave them before the World Cup,
00:54:01 whoever designed this hybrid model,
00:54:03 whoever designed the Sri Lanka series,
00:54:05 the way you did it,
00:54:07 you didn't give any importance
00:54:09 to the World Cup.
00:54:11 You drained all your fast bowlers.
00:54:13 You didn't give any importance to the World Cup.
00:54:15 You drained all your fast bowlers.
00:54:17 In between,
00:54:19 you gave permission to the traveling leagues
00:54:21 to play in the league.
00:54:23 I think there is no debate
00:54:25 or doubt in this.
00:54:27 In the last 1.5-2 years,
00:54:29 we have been hearing the same stories
00:54:31 for years.
00:54:33 But the scenes that have been created
00:54:35 in the last 1.5-2 years,
00:54:37 unfortunately in the Pakistan Cricket Board,
00:54:39 due to which the previous management,
00:54:41 the management after that,
00:54:43 and this management,
00:54:45 are not in the same league.
00:54:47 Let's take a short break.
00:54:49 Welcome back to the Pavilion.
00:54:55 #AskThePavilion is still going on.
00:54:57 Your questions and comments are coming.
00:54:59 We are sharing them.
00:55:01 I have with me here,
00:55:03 Shoaib Malik, Ms. Waud Haq, Mohin Khan,
00:55:05 and the great Haseem Akram.
00:55:07 Mr. Puneet Malhotra,
00:55:09 Puneet Daga Mir,
00:55:11 is your ex-handler.
00:55:13 And you have said,
00:55:15 "Dhakia attire."
00:55:17 Yes,
00:55:19 we were feeling something like this today.
00:55:21 You didn't hit the target.
00:55:23 I have been saying this since morning.
00:55:25 You didn't hit the target.
00:55:27 There is a message from Muhammad Adeel.
00:55:29 "Why are you people not giving a chance
00:55:31 to Ms. Waud Haq to talk?
00:55:33 Let him talk freely and listen to him, please."
00:55:35 God forbid.
00:55:37 He is getting his ears pierced.
00:55:39 Go away.
00:55:41 Look at the camera.
00:55:43 Where is everyone?
00:55:45 Join your hands.
00:55:47 No, no.
00:55:49 It's true.
00:55:51 There is nothing to talk about in this program.
00:55:53 Because they all talk in the back room.
00:55:55 Okay.
00:55:59 Anand Bheem
00:56:01 36459947
00:56:03 Anand, you are asking
00:56:05 Mr. Wasim,
00:56:07 "Do you think the 21 extra runs
00:56:09 by Pakistan today played a role
00:56:11 in South Africa's win?
00:56:13 I mean, 21 extras in a World Cup match.
00:56:15 This is crucial. Is it acceptable?"
00:56:17 It is crucial, but again,
00:56:19 South Africa has more or less won.
00:56:21 So, yeah, every run is important, I suppose.
00:56:23 Let's see how many South African
00:56:25 have won.
00:56:27 They have given 19.
00:56:29 And we have given 15.
00:56:31 No, 21.
00:56:33 So, there is a difference of two runs.
00:56:35 If we look at the big picture,
00:56:37 if we had not given extra runs
00:56:39 on the first ball, it would have been
00:56:41 a different game.
00:56:43 If we had played 50 overs,
00:56:45 it would have been a different game.
00:56:47 If Poofi had a moustache,
00:56:49 he would have been called "Chacha".
00:56:51 Naughty boy.
00:56:53 Very naughty boy, Wasim.
00:56:55 Okay, sir.
00:56:57 Suhaib Basharat
00:56:59 @basharat_suhaib
00:57:01 is your ex-handler.
00:57:03 Your question is,
00:57:05 "What is the staff doing?
00:57:07 We didn't do any homework
00:57:09 against any opponent.
00:57:11 Other teams have worked against
00:57:13 our every single batter.
00:57:15 Giving speeches and clapping in the nets
00:57:17 is not enough."
00:57:19 We have already told you that
00:57:21 we disagree with what Mickey Athan
00:57:23 said in his press conference.
00:57:25 Anybody would like to add to that?
00:57:27 Mishra,
00:57:29 we are not letting you speak.
00:57:31 You are already saying that
00:57:33 you are a staff member.
00:57:35 You are a staff member.
00:57:37 You can make as many plans as you want.
00:57:39 It's all about execution.
00:57:41 If you don't execute well,
00:57:43 if you don't have clarity in your plans,
00:57:45 it will be difficult for you.
00:57:47 Like you planned today,
00:57:49 that Iftikhar will bowl.
00:57:51 If Iftikhar wants to bowl,
00:57:53 Quinton Decock will bowl
00:57:55 wicket to wicket to the left-hander.
00:57:57 So that if you bowl straight from there
00:57:59 on natural variation,
00:58:01 you will have a chance to bowl.
00:58:03 If you spin, it will go in the slip.
00:58:05 They didn't do that.
00:58:07 Off-stump is a free hit.
00:58:09 New ball comes on the bat.
00:58:11 If you leak those runs early on,
00:58:13 the pressure comes back.
00:58:15 These things matter at the end.
00:58:17 I think discipline,
00:58:19 accuracy of plans is very important.
00:58:21 We plan for a bouncer.
00:58:23 So, a bouncer,
00:58:25 like they did to Rizwan,
00:58:27 should have accuracy.
00:58:29 You said it well.
00:58:31 Sorry, Wasim.
00:58:33 Guys, another thing.
00:58:35 Bouncers, like Misbah, Shoaib,
00:58:37 or Mohin, we talk about
00:58:39 where they should be,
00:58:41 what should be their height,
00:58:43 should they be off-stump or in the body,
00:58:45 they come after playing long crickets.
00:58:47 They don't come from T20.
00:58:49 If they do a bouncer in T20,
00:58:51 it goes over the head and they get a dot ball.
00:58:53 There is very little chance.
00:58:55 Until they play long cricket,
00:58:57 Wasim's bouncers were good.
00:58:59 He was trying to bounce from the front
00:59:01 and the ball came to here.
00:59:03 If you hit it from the back,
00:59:05 it will go wide.
00:59:07 So, it's not that easy to do a bouncer.
00:59:09 You need practice for that.
00:59:11 Gulam Fareed Mirza.
00:59:13 Yes, Fareed Mirza is your ex-handler.
00:59:15 You asked, Shaheen bowled 12 balls
00:59:17 to the tail-enders.
00:59:19 He just tried the batter to leave the balls away.
00:59:21 Why he didn't bowl wicket to wicket
00:59:23 as it could create more chances
00:59:25 like LBW, Edge
00:59:27 or bowled as Wasim and Rauf were trying to do.
00:59:29 So, at international level, guys
00:59:31 have to have that awareness.
00:59:33 Guys?
00:59:35 Wasim?
00:59:37 You were talking about
00:59:39 why he was bowling outside.
00:59:41 I think there was another question
00:59:43 that he bowled around the wicket.
00:59:45 I suppose, when it was reversed,
00:59:47 I can give you my example.
00:59:49 When it was reversed,
00:59:51 we had control.
00:59:53 If he knew that we will come from here,
00:59:55 he would have bowled from the middle
00:59:57 and not from the off-stump.
00:59:59 If he would have bowled from the middle
01:00:01 and the tail-ender would have come,
01:00:03 he would have had a chance to get a stick.
01:00:05 Most of the time, he would have bowled
01:00:07 on the full ball.
01:00:09 He should have bowled from the off-stump
01:00:11 so that he would not get a stick in the middle.
01:00:13 The idea is to hit him on the pads
01:00:15 and on the stumps.
01:00:17 When it's reversed,
01:00:19 he should come from the around the wicket.
01:00:21 He should come from the middle
01:00:23 when he is not getting control from the middle.
01:00:25 There is one more thing that Wasim gave.
01:00:27 It's the example that we have in front of us.
01:00:29 In today's match, Harish Rao was
01:00:31 getting reversed and he bowled
01:00:33 from the middle stump.
01:00:35 He hit the top edge and got an excellent catch.
01:00:37 You see, I have learned.
01:00:39 I think Shaheen is young.
01:00:41 He is learning.
01:00:43 When you have to hit the tail-ender
01:00:45 with a yorker from the around the wicket,
01:00:47 if you aim for the legs,
01:00:49 it will end up in the middle.
01:00:51 It depends on the swing.
01:00:53 If you aim for the middle,
01:00:55 it will end up on the off-stump.
01:00:57 That's where he has to learn very quickly.
01:00:59 Haider Ali Buttar.
01:01:01 I hope I am pronouncing it
01:01:03 correctly.
01:01:05 Your twitter handle is @haideralibuttar.
01:01:07 I am going to leave it at that.
01:01:09 You said that the biggest drawback
01:01:11 of the losing streak this year
01:01:13 is no dancing steps
01:01:15 from your panel.
01:01:17 We are really missing
01:01:19 that stuff, boys.
01:01:21 Any chance we are going to see that?
01:01:23 Brother's in-laws, if not Pakistan,
01:01:25 sister-in-law's in-laws,
01:01:27 if they win, Australia will win.
01:01:29 I reckon plan B is a very good idea.
01:01:31 If we dance today, you will have to
01:01:33 hit the tail-ender.
01:01:35 Fair enough.
01:01:37 We have got more questions coming in.
01:01:39 Here we go.
01:01:41 The question is from Ruel Zahid.
01:01:43 Ruel, R-V-E-L
01:01:45 and Zahid.
01:01:47 This is your ex's handle.
01:01:49 How much did the abrupt changes
01:01:51 in PCB top brass this year and coaching
01:01:53 panels have affected planning
01:01:55 for this showpiece event?
01:01:57 I think we have already spoken about that
01:01:59 in length. You must have seen it
01:02:01 in the beginning of this program.
01:02:03 It was quite...
01:02:05 We are going to take a break with that.
01:02:07 When we come back, let's see what we have
01:02:09 in store for you tomorrow.
01:02:13 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
01:02:15 You are watching A Sports, 10 Sports and the
01:02:17 ARY Zapp app. Our continued coverage of the
01:02:19 ICC Men's World Cup 2023.
01:02:21 Congratulations to South Africa.
01:02:23 They have played a magnificent game of cricket.
01:02:25 Bad news for Pakistan.
01:02:27 But hey, at least our boys
01:02:29 fought really hard today.
01:02:31 Let's take a look at what we have in store for you
01:02:33 tomorrow.
01:02:35 We have two matches tomorrow.
01:02:37 It's a double header.
01:02:39 It's 12 midnight.
01:02:41 Our matches are today.
01:02:43 The first match is Australia against New Zealand.
01:02:45 We will be at your service at 10 am.
01:02:47 We will bring it live from Dharamsala.
01:02:49 We will be at the studio at 8.30 am.
01:02:51 The second match
01:02:53 is on your screen.
01:02:55 It's the Netherlands against Bangladesh.
01:02:57 The match will start at 1.30 am.
01:02:59 I am sure that most of the fans
01:03:01 will watch the first match of Australia
01:03:03 against New Zealand.
01:03:05 The match between the Netherlands and Bangladesh
01:03:07 will be very important.
01:03:09 We will be at your service at 8.30 am.
01:03:11 Shoaib Malik, thank you very much.
01:03:13 And Boin Khan, thank you very much.
