00:00 First, let's talk about Travis Head's boldness and then we'll talk about his other performances.

00:04 First of all, thank you Shoaib bhai for inviting me for this interview.

00:08 And second, I think the Travis Head's out in Australia will be the most memorable out of my life.

00:15 Basically, when our inning ended, we started feeling that we have come back to this match.

00:22 I was motivating myself that if I get a few outs for my team, the match can change.

00:30 When Warner was out, we took a proper out swing fielding for Travis Head.

00:36 We took 3 slips and even took a square leg.

00:40 We showed him the scene that we will out swing from the middle.

00:46 I think that ready was for him.

00:48 I was thinking that since it was the first ball, the batsman is not ready.

00:53 If I bring him in from the inside, it will be difficult.

00:57 And that's exactly what happened.

00:59 I think that was the most memorable wicket of my life.

01:02 So you trapped him.

01:03 You took the field from outside and brought the ball in.

01:10 Exactly.

01:11 Usually when you take an out swing field, you don't in swing because there is no fielder on your leg stump.

01:17 So that was ready for him because the ball was new and my natural swing is also an out swing for lefties.

01:23 So I think that was ready for him but I was ready to take a risk.

01:27 I thought that even if the ball was not accurate, I would get a square leg and I would not have any tension because there was no fielder on my leg stump.

01:34 But I thought that if I get a wicket from here, then Australia will be under pressure.

01:40 So you can call it a trap that he was expecting something else and the ball was something else.

01:45 You took the out on March 96.

01:47 It looked like he would be a century but you caught him on March 96.

01:51 Yes, exactly.

01:52 Before that, when he reached the 80s and I came back for bowling, he told me that his father was also out in the 90s.

02:04 Sean March was also out in the 90s.

02:06 So I was thinking that I might get a wicket here too.

02:11 Before that, he hit a boundary and the ball was not going to be accurate.

02:16 So I was trying to seam the ball and if I seam the ball, then there is a chance of getting out.

02:22 And he was also out on the exact 96th run.

02:25 That's a good thing.

02:27 You thought that the batsman was taking it easy and he hit you while walking and then Babaratham caught his catch.

02:35 Was it really easy for you to play or was it also a trap?

02:41 I think if it was easy to play, then I wouldn't have had to bowl so economically.

02:47 If you take all my innings, then I have bowled all the innings within 1.5 or 2.

02:54 I felt that the Australians were getting trapped on seam swing.

02:58 I was trying to bowl like that but the ball was 70 overs old and the pitch was slow compared to Melbourne and Perth.

03:08 Because when the ball doesn't come, the batsman tries to play by climbing on it.

03:13 In which the batsman has more chances of getting out.

03:16 So I was talking to Sean that if we keep 3 fielders in front and bowl it outside the off stump, then he will go to play.

03:25 Because we kept the off stump empty and if you see his initial movement, Steve Smith went to the off stump to hit me.

03:37 But when the ball was outside, he hit it from there and in a way, he got trapped and got out.

03:43 So whether it's Travis Head or Steve Smith, both the field placements were yours for Miramza?

03:50 If we talk about Travis Head, then the whole field placement was mine.

03:54 But if we talk about Steve Smith, then we talked about it.

03:59 I told Sean that they won't get out of this field.

04:03 This is a proper field.

04:05 If we do something different for this, then Sean told me that if we keep it outside the off stump and bowl, then there are more chances of getting wickets.

04:14 So we have placed 2 fielders in front.

04:17 So when the first ball happened, I told Sean that I think 2 fielders are less here.

04:24 Then Babar told me to take another 3rd fielder and empty the square leg.

04:28 So I think when we placed the 3rd fielder, Steve Smith got very easy because there was nothing in the pitch that I could play it easily on the leg stump or on the up.

04:39 So I think me and Sean discussed together that we should keep 3 fielders in front.

04:44 There was a lot of criticism when you bowled the ball, it was at a speed of 118.

04:48 It was taken screenshot and discussed everywhere that Miramza doesn't have speed.

04:53 In Australia, you need a pacer and Miramza's speed is 118.

04:57 Is it really not your speed?

04:59 I think Shoaib bhai, I am not worried about the amount of criticism.

05:06 Because I know my skills and I know how I can disturb the batsman.

05:12 And as far as I have bowled 118 or even 117, I didn't bowl at a pace.

05:20 I bowled it slow and they showed that it has a speed like this.

05:25 But if you talk about my matches in Sydney, no one has shown that my maximum pace is 139.1.

05:33 And when I was bowling there, I was bowling at 134, 135, 136.

05:40 But still I believe that the batsman is not disturbed by the pace if it is a seam swing bowler.

05:48 If I bowl at 135 or 138 but it is not a seam swing, I think the batsman will not be disturbed.

05:56 If my ball is swinging seam, even at 132 or 133, the batsman will be disturbed.
