SportsTranscript
00:00 First of all, Kamran, let's start with you.
00:02 For defending champions, it was a very bad start.
00:05 They couldn't defend the total in three matches.
00:11 We call it bowling, which is almost like Pakistan's bowling.
00:15 What do you say?
00:16 It's exactly like that.
00:17 And you can say that this is the best bowling of PSL.
00:23 They only win on the basis of their bowling.
00:26 So there is no doubt about it.
00:28 But if you look at the overall match yesterday,
00:31 field placing, not doing the bowling accordingly,
00:35 calling the third man up and bouncing,
00:37 there is a boundary there.
00:39 If you bounce, the third man is taken back.
00:42 Midoff is called up.
00:43 So these little things are coming in trouble for the Clunders,
00:47 who are getting away from the match.
00:49 So this is visible.
00:50 Then in the batting order, you see that
00:52 Rasheed is playing at number three.
00:55 You have opened Saibzada, he is a new player.
00:58 But before that, Abdullah Shafiq was playing for the Clunders
01:02 for two years, at the open, and he was giving a start.
01:05 So sending him to number five,
01:07 I feel all these things are a panic button.
01:10 Then Haris Rauf's matter is being discussed more.
01:13 There is a lot of talk about him.
01:15 Leave him.
01:16 You have to feed him.
01:17 Leave him, don't think about him.
01:19 Give confidence to the other ten players.
01:22 Make a combination.
01:24 There is no need to panic.
01:26 I think these three matches were the winning matches.
01:30 They were not the losing matches.
01:31 The wicket in Multan was such that
01:33 no batting lineup was so easy to chase.
01:36 But credit goes to Iftikhar Ahmed.
01:38 Like he finished, like he did 25.
01:41 Then Razwan played a steady innings.
01:44 He had a good end.
01:45 But he was also very lucky.
01:46 But overall, in every match, the team that is losing,
01:49 is fielding a lot of problems.
01:51 Of course, the fielding will come towards Shahid Bhai.
01:54 Towards the fielding coach.
01:56 23 scats have been missed so far.
01:57 Tell us.
01:59 You see, in PSL,
02:00 Iftikhar scored 34 on 11 bowlers.
02:03 But only if he could play like this in international.
02:06 Absolutely.
02:07 One more thing.
02:08 Polard has also scored for the spinners.
02:11 But the 25 that Iftikhar has scored,
02:13 he has scored for such quality bowlers
02:15 who are considered in world cricket.
02:16 34.
02:17 34.
02:18 David Willey scored 25.
02:19 Yes, David Willey.
02:20 He has scored such that he is considered a joker.
02:24 He has saved 10 against Multan.
02:26 So, I think, Iftikhar is a class.
02:28 His power hitting,
02:29 his base in power hitting,
02:32 his balance,
02:33 everything is perfect.
02:35 Absolutely right.
02:35 Basit Bhai, one point.
02:37 Not even 5th, but Abdullah Shafiq was 6th yesterday.
02:40 So, this is very sad.
02:42 That your good player,
02:44 who people think he is talented,
02:46 is spoiling the numbers.
02:48 How many 50s has he scored?
02:49 It's not about 50s.
02:51 But he is a good player.
02:52 He is a top player.
02:53 If he doesn't play on his own number,
02:54 then this is not a justification.
02:55 He is not a T20 player.
02:58 Where has he performed in T20?
03:00 He performed well in the last PSL as well.
03:01 How many 50s has he scored?
03:03 1-2 innings were very good.
03:05 The opener's job is to...
03:08 The opener has a very good chance
03:11 to score in PSL.
03:12 True.
03:12 If he scores 3 in total,
03:14 then it's PSL.
03:15 Later, you will get 30-35.
03:17 It will be very rare
03:19 that 4 players are out on you
03:21 and Kamran has gone
03:22 for the 9th over.
03:23 It's not like that.
03:24 There are only 30-35.
03:25 So, basically,
03:29 he is a timer.
03:30 Like Babar Azam,
03:31 Babar lifts as well.
03:33 He can't do it.
03:34 If you keep feeding him
03:35 on 4th,
03:36 he doesn't get a place.
03:37 When you have a middle order batsman,
03:39 Kamran Ghulam,
03:40 you have him,
03:41 then why don't you feed him?
03:42 That's my point.
03:43 The point is not
03:44 whether he was doing well on top or not.
03:45 The point is that he is a top player.
03:47 If he plays, he plays on top.
03:48 If he doesn't play, he doesn't play.
03:49 Why do you send him on 6th?
03:50 The biggest problem of Lahore-Kalandar
03:53 is the pace of Shaheen Shahafizdi.
03:55 He is not giving out from the new ball.
03:57 Yesterday's pitch was
03:58 a baller-friendly pitch.
04:00 This is Pakistan's attack.
04:03 Pakistan's attack.
04:03 They should have blown it.
04:04 Absolutely right.
04:05 But, look,
04:07 we are talking about Harris.
04:09 Zamaan Khan got beaten yesterday.
04:10 Now, in the next match,
04:11 Shaheen will get beaten.
04:12 So, Pakistan,
04:13 who is still Wahab
04:15 and Khami,
04:16 whoever will be the selector
04:18 or the chairman,
04:18 should think
04:20 that now you have
04:21 Muhammad Ali,
04:22 who is performing.
04:23 No one should be selected.
04:26 You are going for the World Cup.
04:28 So, you should prepare for the World Cup.
04:29 Remove this name.
04:31 Now, Almi is here.
04:32 Pakistan's captain is Shaheen Shahafizdi.
04:35 Whoever made him,
04:37 whoever he is,
04:38 I won't go for him.
04:40 We will have to think
04:41 before the World Cup.
04:42 Shaheen's pace is going down.
04:43 This is a matter of concern.
04:44 Shaheen Rashid's…
04:45 Because the captain
04:46 doesn't drop from the team.
04:47 Shaheen Rashid's absence
04:49 is blaming you.
04:50 But, actually,
04:51 Shaheen's pace is also a big reason.
04:53 The main thing is that
04:54 Shaheen will make the first spell
04:55 of 2 or 3 overs.
04:57 Everyone expects 2 wickets from him.
05:00 We are not getting that.
05:01 He got a wicket yesterday
05:02 and Multan Sultan's 2 wickets
05:03 fell early.
05:05 Then, Shaheen got a catch
05:06 of Rizwan.
05:07 That was a very crucial catch.
05:09 If Rizwan would have been out there,
05:11 Rizwan is a player
05:12 who goes till the end
05:13 and he made the match.
05:15 Then, Team Iftikhar came in the end.
05:16 They made a run in 11 balls.
05:18 I want to call him Team Iftikhar.
05:20 Iftikhar Mania and all.
05:22 The way Team David
05:23 won the Australian match.
05:25 I was looking at Team David's stats.
05:27 In 198 T20 innings,
05:29 he played 25 innings
05:31 that he won.
05:32 And in less than 17 balls,
05:33 he went and won the T20 match.
05:35 When he was asked,
05:36 "You played fantastic innings."
05:38 He said, "That is what
05:39 I am in the team for."
05:41 That player knows his role.
05:45 And out of the 25 winning chases
05:47 he made 24 innings
05:49 in which he got less than 17 balls.
05:51 He got 17 balls in the match.
05:54 But the question is,
05:56 this performance is rarely seen
05:58 in the international.
05:59 If he keeps playing consistently...
06:02 Sorry, sorry.
06:03 When he comes to the international,
06:04 he will say, "PSL is going on."
06:06 What kind of logic is this?
06:08 I am repeating myself.
06:09 This is the player
06:11 who is a part of the Pakistan team.
06:13 World Cup is just around the corner.
06:15 We were talking about pace,
06:16 not the problems of Pakistan.
06:18 I was just interrupting.
06:19 Our plans were...
06:20 You continue, then I will answer.
06:22 You are a wicketkeeper,
06:23 you can get a gantz from anywhere.
