00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Hello, Assalamu Alaikum, and welcome to The Pavilion.
00:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:08 --sports.
00:09 Our continued coverage of the HBL PSL season 9.
00:11 And what a fantastic season it has been.
00:14 Another game just ended, and what a game it was.
00:17 With me in The Pavilion, I'm joined by four fantastic
00:19 minds in the game of cricket, four former captains
00:21 of Pakistan, four outstanding gentlemen.
00:24 First up, I've got a fine opener for Pakistan.
00:28 His defense was rock solid, like a fort wall.
00:30 I've got Azhar Ali.
00:31 Good evening, Assalamu Alaikum, and welcome, Azhar.
00:33 Walaikum Assalam.
00:34 Thank you.
00:34 Next up, I've got an all-rounder who
00:36 would be so handy around every position that he fielded,
00:40 bowled with the new ball, and then batted
00:43 great many glorious innings for Pakistan.
00:46 I've got Mohammed Hafeez.
00:48 Good evening, Assalamu Alaikum, and welcome.
00:50 Thank you.
00:51 Next up, I've got the most successful test captain
00:52 of Pakistan's test cricket history.
00:54 I've got Ismail Haque.
00:55 Good evening, Assalamu Alaikum, and welcome, Ismail.
00:58 Waalaikum Assalam.
00:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:00 And finally, ladies and gentlemen,
01:02 I've got the man himself.
01:04 He is like a paradox, very difficult to decipher at times,
01:09 extremely potent with his words, and extremely
01:11 subtle with his compliments.
01:13 Ladies and gentlemen, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:19 The sultan of swing, the swinging sultan,
01:21 and the proud president of Karachi Kings, Maseem Akram.
01:24 Good evening, Assalamu Alaikum, and welcome, Maseem.
01:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:28 All right.
01:54 OK, folks.
01:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:57 Saim Ayub there with 46 of 22, which was wonderfully done.
02:16 Haseebullah, 31 of 20, Powell, 23 of 15.
02:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:23 And Chris Jordan also did really well,
02:25 picked up two wickets for 33 in his four overs.
02:27 Multan Sultan's in reply went all the way to the last ball,
02:30 200 for the loss of five wickets.
02:33 But again, it was ifty mania right down the order.
02:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:37 60 of 27 there.
02:43 Rizwan, 32 of 24, which actually is
02:46 going to be talked about today, because that was perhaps
02:49 an innings that could have been different,
02:51 and this result could have been totally different from Multan
02:53 Sultan's.
02:54 Chris Jordan there also coming to the party,
02:56 joining Iftikhar towards the end.
02:58 30 of 12, and Tayyab also picking up 26
03:00 of the 18 deliveries.
03:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:03 The young debutant Mehran picking up one for 20
03:08 in four overs.
03:09 Bowled really well, looked really good.
03:11 And Naveen Ul Haq, one for 32 in his four overs.
03:14 Peshawar Zalmi winning this one and defeating Multan Sultan's
03:17 for the second time in this HBL PSL 9 by four runs.
03:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:23 Things are getting interesting on this points table.
03:33 Multan Sultan's right on top.
03:34 They've already qualified for the playoffs.
03:37 Quetta Gladiators right behind with nine points.
03:39 Peshawar Zalmi now with nine points.
03:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:46 Islamabad United with seven played, three won, three losses,
03:50 and one no result.
03:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:53 Now this makes things very, very tricky for Karachi Kings
03:57 in their remaining games.
03:58 They still have four games to go.
03:59 So six played, two won, four lost, and with four points.
04:03 Lahore Columbus, unfortunately, the defending champions
04:05 are out of this competition for all probable reasons.
04:08 I mean, there's no other mathematical equation
04:10 that can really bring them back into any kind of contest
04:13 for the playoffs.
04:14 However, they will be doing a lot of thinking
04:16 and will probably come back stronger next year.
04:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:20 Let me start off with you, Wasim.
04:23 It looked like it was a lost cause,
04:25 but Multan Sultan took it all the way to the finish line.
04:28 They did, Shax.
04:29 Thanks to, again, this Superman we have, Iftimania.
04:33 I mean, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:35 I mean, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:47 For instance, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:53 You know, fielding, that's why we have been saying,
04:55 fielding is so crucial.
04:57 And what a catch by Asif Ali at that stage of the game.
04:59 Like a Superman.
05:01 Yeah, totally.
05:02 He really was.
05:02 But over and all, very good performance
05:04 by a skipper himself, Babar Azam, leading from the front.
05:07 64, they lost their first wicket on 84 in 42 deliveries.
05:12 So that, I think, was a perfect start.
05:14 They looked really comfortable.
05:15 They looked good.
05:16 They looked at the zone, both of them.
05:18 So I'm a U-Band Babar Azam.
05:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:43 But today, Multan Sultans was not the real culprit.
05:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:07 All right, so fantastic there.
06:09 But this is very interesting, Misma.
06:11 Why do you think that Multan Sultan, the only two
06:15 defeats that they have in this tournament,
06:16 both coming at the hands of Peshawar Zalmi?
06:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:50 They actually start chasing the target.
06:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:55 And chasing 204.
07:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:15 About 75%.
07:28 75%.
07:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:30 Around that, 77.
07:31 The way he was playing, Misma.
07:33 Yeah.
07:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:37 That's true.
07:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:47 That was not right to chase down this total.
07:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:57 We will chase the game later at the latest stage.
08:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:07 So you guys also think--
08:08 do you think they miss Usman Khan today?
08:09 The guy in form, the Milan--
08:11 Big time.
08:12 Big time.
08:12 Big time.
08:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:16 They are going to miss Usman Khan today.
08:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:25 Right from the word go, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:59 Do you think [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:05 You want your best finisher to play more overs,
09:08 like at least seven over, six over,
09:10 especially if [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:16 I think [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:41 Set the platform.
09:46 You're not chasing the game.
09:48 Then it's easier.
09:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:50 Like when you're chasing 10 or over from this word go,
09:54 or power play, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:57 very first ball play.
09:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:33 But when you're chasing 10 and over, 11 and over,
10:43 you can't just keep playing the same way
10:45 as you do in the first inning.
10:47 Maseem, what do you think?
10:48 What happened to Multan Sultan's in the power play?
10:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:19 So he bowled well.
11:29 He bowled really well.
11:30 He tried.
11:31 I mean, Rizwan kind of tried a bit.
11:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:34 I think that was the difference.
11:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:45 But I think that overall, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:47 They never just even went after him.
11:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:57 Yeah, Milan bowled like he said 19 of 19.
12:09 Run a ball.
12:10 And when you're chasing 204 runs to win,
12:13 you need to get on with it.
12:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:20 I think it was a little better maybe.
12:26 It was actually better in the second inning.
12:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:29 You mean [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:03 But clearly, intent--
13:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:19 It's called stem guard.
13:31 S-T-E-M.
13:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:33 My question is, if it's there--
13:47 It's already in the box.
13:48 When you receive a helmet, it's already in the box.
13:50 Right.
13:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:59 Any youngster who wears a helmet,
14:01 make sure you wear the whole thing.
14:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:19 All the protective gears--
14:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:26 Safety first.
14:28 Safety first.
14:29 Safety first.
14:30 Safety first.
14:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:57 That is called the Q collar.
14:59 Q collar, which helps in reducing the impact of concussion.
15:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:04 So at this level, professional, you get paid.
15:20 Get all the stuff.
15:21 Yeah.
15:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:31 Yeah.
15:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:37 So that is something, especially, like,
15:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:12 It came from a system.
16:13 [INAUDIBLE]
16:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:15 All right.
16:41 With that, we're going to take a break here on the pavilion.
16:43 But when we come back, there's more
16:44 to talk about the Peshawar Zalmi versus Multan Sultan's game.
16:47 Stay with us.
16:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:50 Welcome back to the pavilion.
16:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:55 With me in the pavilion, I've got Azhar Ali, Muhammad Hafeez,
17:00 Miss Paul Haq, and the great Wasim Akram.
17:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:05 And what a fantastic innings by him, Azhar.
17:19 Oh, fantastic.
17:20 Or look at the strike rate as well, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:24 Take in the power play and also [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:31 Which is good sign, again, for Babar and Pakistan.
17:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:46 Pick up the shots today.
17:47 Pick up the shots.
17:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:01 I think, again, we got to see, but we know what Babar can do.
18:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:08 Which is a very good sign.
18:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:18 Again, it's a really unrealistic consistency he has.
18:28 No question.
18:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:30 Correct.
18:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:41 That is the most important thing, is that--
18:56 I'm going to change the subject.
18:57 I thought I was a bit sleepy because [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:59 I just saw a cat in the studio.
19:01 Was it a cat or just me?
19:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:03 You're hallucinating.
19:05 No, I'm not.
19:06 I saw a cat.
19:07 I'm properly right.
19:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:14 Again, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:23 [LAUGHTER]
19:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:29 All right, good one.
19:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:51 And the only other player to get more awards, better the match
19:55 awards in PSL, is [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:57 Impact player, man of the match.
20:00 Babar Azam is very much there.
20:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:03 We just crossed it.
20:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:08 Oh, interesting.
20:09 Very nice.
20:10 Good job.
20:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:12 Yeah, coming back to Babar, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:17 I'm off the record.
20:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:19 Like Babar Azam did today, like he has been doing
20:27 for the last five years, in all the formats.
20:30 Very true.
20:31 And man of the match, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:32 is a big deal.
20:33 It means you are contributing with bat, ball,
20:35 or you're winning cause.
20:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:37 That's why.
20:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:39 Tweet, social media, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:06 I completely agree.
21:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:16 Forget about all other parts.
21:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:19 But now, it's like, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:26 And it seems like they are now, you know,
21:31 depending more on spinners than they're fast ballers.
21:33 They picked a good score.
21:34 Yes.
21:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:37 But I still believe [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:51 But I think overall, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:58 they went back to their strength.
22:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:05 And then, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:07 Especially when they are chasing more than 180.
22:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:33 Then you always get the result, what you want.
22:37 Yeah.
22:38 Fantastic.
22:39 And while we were talking, Mazhar has just--
22:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:42 The highest for any batter in T20 history,
22:54 with minimum 1,000 runs.
22:56 That's just absolutely-- that explains you,
22:58 the class of the man.
22:59 This is absolutely--
23:00 And the strike rate is 150 plus.
23:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:03 He's the joint most man of the match
23:08 awards for Pakistan in T20.
23:10 11.
23:11 11.
23:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:13 Yeah.
23:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:20 Well, that's just superb things.
23:31 Let's talk about Saim Ayyub again today,
23:33 when he was batting out there with Babar Azam.
23:35 He was looking fantastic, this young man.
23:37 However, credit to Muhammad Ali.
23:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:46 Usually, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:50 The bowler's around the wicket.
23:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:17 So I think [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:24 Just a question to you batters.
24:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:26 He's young.
25:52 He's the future of Pakistan cricket, and especially
25:54 in batting.
25:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:03 But obviously, it takes a little bit more time.
26:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:21 Different drills, especially different colors [NON-ENGLISH
26:25 SPEECH]
26:26 Yeah.
26:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:33 You need to call for that.
26:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:49 Blue, red.
26:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:22 Yeah.
27:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:33 And if the card is second with 12 sixes,
27:40 so is Pollard with 12 sixes, and so is
27:43 Wendell Doosan with 12 sixes, and then
27:45 Shadab Khan with 11 sixes.
27:46 So well done, Saim Ayub, young blood for Pakistan.
27:49 And we're really looking forward to seeing more of him.
27:52 And with that, we're going to take a break here
27:54 in the pavilion.
27:55 But when we come back, there's more on the other side.
27:57 Stay with us.
27:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]
28:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:01 Welcome back to the pavilion.
28:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:05 Sports.
28:06 Our continued coverage of the HBLPL Season 9.
28:08 We're talking about Multan Sultans versus Peshawar Zalmi.
28:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:12 Q collar.
28:25 Q collar.
28:26 So basically, it's to prevent severe impact
28:30 of the concussion, I think.
28:32 Reducing the impact of concussion to be exact.
28:34 It's also used in NFL in America.
28:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:38 Yes, I think Dubai.
28:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:43 I am happy.
28:53 It's someone thinking beyond those things.
28:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:57 I think it's good for your safety.
29:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:01 In case of emergency, in case of anything, this happened.
29:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:06 As much protection as possible.
29:12 But clearly, you can see [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:14 It's just fantastic.
29:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:17 The kind of player he is.
29:21 Yeah.
29:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:23 Because of the frustration, he's going to the ball.
29:51 So he wants to put bat on the ball.
29:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:01 This is something [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:09 He did.
30:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:38 Maybe, should Peshawar Zalmi think of promoting him up the order
30:49 with the kind of form that he has?
30:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:52 Yeah, exactly.
30:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:59 But I think he batted really well at that stage.
31:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:14 Which is good.
31:19 Right.
31:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:21 But this is the role suits to him.
31:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:25 But whatever contribution he did, I think he did an absolutely
31:30 good job for the team.
31:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:32 Absolutely, and got two wickets as well.
31:42 Yeah.
31:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:44 All right, folks.
31:48 And with that, it's time for another break.
31:50 But [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:54 #AskThePavilion.
31:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:56 Right, you know, welcome back to the Pavilion.
32:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:06 A sports content coverage of the HBLPS in season 9.
32:09 And it's time for #AskThePavilion with our four experts.
32:13 I've got Azraeli, Muhammad Hafeez, [INAUDIBLE]
32:15 and the great Wasim Akram.
32:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:20 My question for the panel is that, why Osama Mir, despite
32:28 being given the chance, is not able to perform
32:30 in international matches like the way he performs
32:32 in the domestic circuit?
32:33 And especially for Multan Sultans.
32:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:40 All right, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:08 Question, Hafeez, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:13 semifinal against India in [INAUDIBLE]
33:15 Do you ever regret playing that shot you got out to,
33:19 considering it was a major turning point in the game
33:21 as Pakistan was ahead before that,
33:24 and there was no need for it?
33:25 I think, yes.
33:26 Absolutely right.
33:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:28 Shot was on.
33:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:36 But that came in my mind that I can play that shot.
33:44 But yes, that game.
33:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:47 OK.
33:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:05 Yeah, we're all making mistakes.
34:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:11 Next, they forget.
34:12 They'll say, OK, bad luck.
34:14 Well tried.
34:15 Better luck next time.
34:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:17 It happened 20 years ago.
34:19 Forget about it.
34:21 Move on.
34:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:25 So irrelevant.
34:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:41 I swear.
34:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:52 My question for the panel, personally,
34:57 what would be the bowling lineup for Pakistan
34:59 in the upcoming World Cup if you all get to pick, especially
35:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:03 Especially I think it's a bit too early to pick the score.
35:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:07 It's very difficult to pick a team now.
35:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:17 All right, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:21 Did the loss over Saga against India and Zimbabwe in 2022
35:28 World Cup has psychologically affected Nawaz?
35:32 It appears so because before that, he was a much better
35:35 player, even has a man of the match against India in Asia
35:40 Cup 2022.
35:41 So how can he come out of that fear zone?
35:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:46 I think [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:49 But this is what you have to deal as a sportsman.
35:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:59 One bad performance doesn't make you a bad player.
36:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
36:23 All right.
36:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
36:53 The first one was a super hit.
36:55 I also got a platinum--
36:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
36:57 It was.
37:02 Just to set the record straight.
37:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:05 Just to set the record straight.
37:06 I've already done it on the previous pavilion.
37:08 But just to set the record straight.
37:10 The first album, "Vasim," sold over a million copies by EMI.
37:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:14 That's your loss.
37:16 Yeah.
37:17 Ooh.
37:18 I'm scared.
37:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:22 [LAUGHTER]
37:23 My question from the experts is today,
37:25 Chairman of PCB said that--
37:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:27 And he also announced the camp of Pakistan cricket team
37:33 with the Army of Pakistan in Abbottabad.
37:35 What is your analysis on this?
37:38 HZQ.
37:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:40 The good soul HZQ.
37:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:43 What was the first--
37:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:48 OK, because grounds are [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:52 Because the idea of, especially this beautiful game of cricket,
38:02 when you go abroad, or even [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
38:05 For instance, you are sitting-- as a spectator,
38:07 I'm sitting right here.
38:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
38:09 If you are--
38:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
38:11 Grounds [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
38:12 National Stadium.
38:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
38:14 Stands.
38:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
38:18 National Stadium is called now.
38:21 You really have to have binoculars to see the player.
38:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
38:25 So that's the reason.
38:29 And secondly, I think we discussed this yesterday.
38:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
38:33 I think it's a very good idea.
38:40 Fitness level, it's a great idea.
38:42 Great start.
38:43 Wezu, @therealwezu.
38:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
38:47 My question is for Mizba regarding captaincy.
38:49 What makes Rizwan such a good captain every PSL season
38:53 with no big name players, bringing the best out
38:57 of likes of Dhani, Abbas, Afridi, and now Muhammad Ali?
39:01 I think utilization of your resources.
39:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
39:10 Against knowing the opposition.
39:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
39:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
39:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
39:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
39:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
39:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
39:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
39:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
39:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
39:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
39:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
39:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:13 Babar has been operating at a strike rate of 150 with sign,
40:18 but Rizwan is batting at a strike rate of around 120.
40:21 Can Pakistan take the risk of two anchors?
40:24 Even Smith isn't getting a chance in World Cup squad.
40:27 Playing Rizwan may cost Pakistan as he isn't even trying.
40:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
40:57 Right.
41:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
41:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
41:23 If he gets out in the first over.
41:25 And then number [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
41:28 if they're batting again together in the power play.
41:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
41:33 One can play as an anchor, or one has to just take the lead.
41:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
41:40 Yeah.
41:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
41:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
41:48 They need to understand.
41:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
41:56 I think that change has already occurred between Babar
42:09 and Rizwan.
42:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
42:11 And with that, it's time for another break here
42:15 at the Pavilion.
42:16 When we come back, there's more on the other side.
42:18 Stay with us.
42:19 Welcome back to the Pavilion.
42:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
42:27 And we're almost to the end of the show today.
42:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
42:31 Two in a row for Azhar Ali.
42:42 My god.
42:43 He's gaining on Misma Alak.
42:44 Misma, you're just two points behind.
42:46 Wasim, you're behind.
42:47 But it's the Karachi Kings that are behind you.
42:49 We can't say anything to you.
42:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
42:51 I have one question before we go when you finish this off.
42:55 All right, well done, Misma Alak.
42:56 And good job, Azhar Ali, catching up on that one.
42:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
43:00 My last question is asked the Pavilion.
43:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
43:12 Has anyone on the panel, apart from myself, Wasim, obviously,
43:16 thought about commentating in the near future?
43:18 It's been a while since we have some new faces
43:21 in this Pakistan cricket broadcasting.
43:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
43:25 I tried.
43:33 I tried.
43:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
43:35 It's a proper job.
43:40 You have to focus it on the way.
43:42 You can't just have [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
43:44 It looks easy, but it's not.
43:46 It's not.
43:47 What have you thought about it, Misma?
43:49 The coaching material you'd like to--
43:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
43:53 Fair enough.
43:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
44:00 And what about you, Azeem?
44:02 I enjoy coaching.
44:03 I don't know.
44:04 So far, obviously, as a team director,
44:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
44:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
44:12 To be very honest, I will think about it again.
44:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
44:21 But so far, regarding commentary--
44:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
44:34 But it's also one of the things [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
44:37 It's a proper job.
44:43 It's hard work.
44:44 It is hard work.
44:45 Here's another question for you.
44:46 In 2024 World Cup, will you be commentating,
44:48 or will you be in the pavilion?
44:50 It all depends.
44:51 We'll find out on the 11th of March, inshallah.
44:53 Hopefully, I'll be doing the pavilions, fingers crossed.
44:56 Hopefully, hopefully, fingers crossed.
44:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
44:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
45:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
45:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
45:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
45:17 Live from Rabalpindi at 7 PM, that would be the second game.
45:44 That is how tomorrow's Super Wednesday is going to be, Wasim.
45:48 Super Wednesday.
45:49 First, always a first time.
45:50 There is always a first time.
45:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
45:52 You can cover all your losses and actually
46:06 be ahead of [INAUDIBLE]
46:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
