00:00 Assalam-o-Alaikum, hello and welcome back once again to our special transmission for PSL Season 9.
00:05 And in PSL Season 9, Karachi King is very close to winning.
00:09 In this match against Quetta Gladiators, Quetta's team made 118 runs and got all out.
00:17 Basit bhai, let's start with you.
00:18 Wa-alaikum-salam, congratulations.
00:19 Congratulations to you too, just let us win first.
00:21 The situation is...
00:24 We won.
00:25 Are you doing the backing?
00:26 We won.
00:27 The game is being played by Ali.
00:28 No, it's fine.
00:30 We are sure that we will win.
00:31 What will you say, what made Karachi different today?
00:34 I think the advantage of the toss was there.
00:37 The pitch was not up to standard.
00:41 And after the first over, they hit a six.
00:46 We should have taken the first ball.
00:48 Our thinking was wrong.
00:50 The bowlers played very well.
00:53 But if I say that the best bowlers didn't play well today, you will laugh.
00:58 We will have to laugh.
00:59 Because he should have bowled in this pitch, it would have increased his confidence.
01:03 I am surprised that Kami will say who is better, the batsman or the bowler.
01:10 He should have bowled here, he made a mistake.
01:12 Kami, I think we have heard you.
01:14 You said we should have given the first over, but they didn't.
01:17 Actually, they were in the ground.
01:19 If they had seen our transmission, they would have given us an over.
01:23 He said we should have given one over.
01:25 But the victory was very important for the Karachi team.
01:30 We got momentum, so we should carry on.
01:33 We should give full credit to Hassan Ali.
01:35 As you said in the intro, we saw the rhythm that we saw in the early PSL.
01:40 Like Peshawar Zalmi.
01:42 You were part of the same team.
01:44 We saw the pace and maturity.
01:47 The rhythm was good today.
01:49 And you see, it was not that easy for Hassan Ali.
01:52 He had 50 runs, but he came to make a 6th over.
01:55 He made a good comeback.
01:59 And he also bowled well with Mazar Abani.
02:03 He has taken two wickets.
02:06 Zahid Mahmood.
02:07 He has done a great ball.
02:08 But the talent of batting, when we saw the grip and the break.
02:13 The whole of Pakistan says that South Shqeel of the Spinners plays very well.
02:18 Quetta showed the intent that we have to do 200.
02:21 The wicket didn't hit well.
02:22 We are talking about the toss.
02:24 The pitch report was also wrong.
02:26 They were also saying that we should retire.
02:28 It's good that the bowlers didn't retire.
02:30 Either the pitch report was wrong or Quetta played very badly.
02:34 Because in the pitch report it was said that it will be 200+ and it's a Patha pitch.
02:39 And the bowlers will be very happy.
02:41 The bowlers will announce their retirement.
02:43 I think the bowler Hassan Ali will get more motivation.
02:45 He must be thinking that he will come to the World Cup team.
02:48 The advisors are also sitting there.
02:49 You are sending advisors to talk about the performance.
02:54 But you see, you play the Spinners well.
02:57 You see that we have 3 spinners.
03:00 Match winner.
03:01 So you go to think that there is a break on the wicket.
03:03 So now we don't have that target.
03:05 We will play according to the wicket.
03:07 We will do 150-160.
03:09 So their batting line-up is not in such a form in Karachi.
03:11 So we can trap the spinners.
03:13 So this brings game awareness.
03:15 We have to teach the wicket well.
03:17 We have to tell the management.
03:18 The coaching staff, we say that they are Australians.
03:20 No doubt.
03:21 They are very clever.
03:22 They play attacking cricket.
03:25 They play according to the conditions.
03:27 So we didn't see all those things in today's match.
03:29 Sure.
03:29 Shoaib Malik is talking after winning the game.
03:32 Let's show you.
03:33 The game is as finals.
03:36 And I guess today we have actually bought that line which we were missing in the last couple of games.
03:42 And pretty pleased with the performance from everyone.
03:46 Your personal performance as well.
03:48 You've been so good with the ball throughout the HPL-PSL.
03:50 You know, in terms of your economy, it's perhaps one of the best that we have.
03:54 So have you been making any special effort in that department?
03:58 Because we've seen you with the bat, do well with the bat.
04:00 But this HPL-PSL, you've been in form with the ball as well.
04:04 Well, I've been trying not to be predictable.
04:09 And I'm trying bowling Yorkers as well.
04:13 So I'm mixing up with a lot of variation.
04:17 And I guess, as we all know, T20 format is all about hitting boundaries.
04:21 So I guess manipulating in batter's head, that is very important as a spinner, as a seamer as well.
04:27 But I'm glad that I'm doing well for the team.
04:31 But still, I really want to do and stay consistent throughout the tournament.
04:35 Well, we love watching you hit the spinners down the ground.
04:38 That seems to be your strength.
04:39 I mean, that's something that you really enjoy.
04:42 I mean, it's been one thing that we've seen throughout your career.
04:45 So you love to dominate spin.
04:47 I would love to.
04:48 And there's another thing.
04:49 It's not even if I stay in the crease, still I can rotate strike.
04:54 But I guess when you get out coming down the wicket and getting out a couple of times,
04:59 I shouldn't be changing that tactic because that's my strength.
05:03 And as a batter, you always have to back your strength.
05:06 And I guess whoever's going to bowl, I'm going to go after them.
05:10 Well, thank you so much for your thoughts, Shoaib, and all the best.
05:12 Shoaib Malik was explaining a lot of things throughout his career.
05:19 He's experienced, so that's why he's bowling well.
05:22 He justified his position as to how he bats and I can't change that.
05:28 What would you say, Shahid sir?
05:29 It happens all of a sudden that you bowl two good overs and then you don't bowl the whole over.
05:32 So the captain has to see that when Shoaib Malik is bowling well,
05:35 he's very effective against left-handers, so why don't he get more overs?
05:40 And he's right that the way he likes to dominate the spinners and hit straight,
05:47 he's playing on his strength.
05:49 But today, the total was so low, I wanted him to get at least 50 out of the top 3.
05:55 Cyford has definitely scored 49, but there have been 21 innings,
05:59 7 matches, 21 innings of the top 3, and not even one of them is 50.
06:03 That's right.
06:04 Basit bhai, two things.
06:06 Karachi's batting with Malik's bowling is very important.
06:11 And like you said in the beginning, it's not possible that we don't get Nawaz to bowl
06:15 and play as batsmen.
06:16 So are these two things important for us in the future?
06:19 Look, important?
06:21 Every day is not Sunday.
06:23 You won't get a pitch like this in every match.
06:26 Okay.
06:27 Right?
06:27 Look at the pitch too.
06:29 And the bowlers who have succeeded,
06:31 we pray that they succeed in every match,
06:34 but the pitch won't be like this in the matches in the evening.
06:38 There's no need to say what Malik said, the world knows that he's the king of spinners.
06:42 He's the king.
06:42 When we talk about success, we say that he's the king of spinners.
06:46 And as far as his bowling is concerned, he has experience.
06:48 Like Hafeez used to bowl, later he became a batter,
06:52 so he had experience.
06:54 The simple thing is, it's easier for a batsman to bowl than a bowler.
06:59 And you had another question?
07:02 From here, I'll ask.
07:03 From the beginning.
07:03 It happened later.
07:04 No, no, about Nawaz.
07:06 Yes, it's very important to bowl for Nawaz.
07:09 And I think that Quetta Granite has shown a very bad batsmanship.
07:13 They used to think that the match on the carrom board is not on paper from 1890.
07:18 Bro, it's made by making it.
07:19 Of course.
07:19 Every day, you won't get a pitch like this.
07:22 The matches you win on 165,
07:25 you win the last ball in Karachi.
07:27 They already thought about that, where two wickets were hit in two balls.
07:30 Although, the catch was made on the first ball.
07:32 On the point.
07:33 After that, Jason Roy hit the wicket on the reverse.
07:36 So, they thought of scoring 200.
07:39 Because, in yesterday's match, they scored 200 on 200.
07:42 So, it's wrong.
07:43 The pitch reading is wrong.
07:45 With apologies.
07:46 Who will you blame?
07:48 The shot that South has hit,
07:50 South never hits such a shot.
07:53 I was surprised to see that.
07:55 South should have understood that the break was happening.
07:58 That our target is 150-160.
08:01 He was the only batsman who could handle the spinners.
08:04 And could run the runs.
08:05 He shouldn't have hit a big hit.
08:07 When the power play is over,
08:09 his job is to play in the gap.
08:11 Rotate the strike, take single or double.
08:13 He will hit a big hit when he does 30-40.
08:17 He did it. He is still 33.
08:18 But, it was a wrong timeout.
08:19 He brought his team under pressure.
08:21 Then, the batsmen who were coming down, I had said earlier,
08:24 if they lose, it will be because of their batting.
08:27 The overseas batsmen,
08:28 where two out of three were,
08:31 their batting line-up will be exposed.
08:33 So, that's what we saw today.
08:34 Exactly.
08:35 Nafay was out.
08:37 Rosso was out.
08:38 Our...
08:40 I am thinking about Nafay's coach.
08:42 He must be watching the video.
08:44 Rather, he must be watching.
08:45 Akhil Hussain was out.
08:48 Karachi has won.
08:49 Let's look at the points table.
08:51 Yes, you should.
08:53 The points table is on the screen.
08:56 There is no difference.
08:57 But, winning is important.
08:59 And, we have to win from here.
09:00 Koita's net run rate is -0.094.
09:06 And, Karachi's net run rate is -0.184.
09:10 So, you were saying that we have to look at the net run rate.
09:12 No, but the three points are higher than Koita's.
09:15 Look, the points that all four teams got,
09:18 Karachi must be feeling sad.
09:21 Honestly.
09:23 But, Shahi, you were saying that tomorrow's match is very important.
09:26 Tomorrow, Karachi will play against Islamabad.
09:28 And, on Saturday, Lahore will play against Karachi.
09:31 If Lahore wins their next match,
09:33 they will be able to win.
09:37 And, they can create problems.
09:39 So, tomorrow's match against Islamabad United will be crucial.
09:42 Even though, God forbid,
09:46 if they lose against Karachi Kings,
09:48 they will still have a chance.
09:50 Because, they are a team and they can still catch up.
09:52 Shahid, what if Islamabad loses tonight?
09:55 If Islamabad loses tonight,
09:56 Karachi will benefit.
09:58 Obviously.
09:59 And, Lahore will be in danger.
10:02 I think, winning every match is very important for the safe side.
10:05 If you want to qualify for the playoffs,
10:07 then, I think, they should think about the upcoming matches.
10:10 If they have won, if they have bowled well,
10:12 if they have a little more responsibility in batting,
10:15 if they have taken responsibility,
10:16 if they have finished the match,
10:18 if they have got the form of Team Cyford,
10:20 then, they should carry on.
10:21 And, I like the combination in bowling.
10:24 Today, they have utilised it well.
10:25 They have got four overs from Shoaib Malik in the first match.
10:27 If they have done well, then they should get the full over.
10:29 But, they should also bring Nawaz in the middle.
10:32 He is an all-rounder.
10:33 He should also have confidence in himself.
10:36 Otherwise, he is roaming around the ground like a Gouache.
10:39 Nawaz?
10:40 Oh, come on.
10:41 No, Nawaz is in the team, but he is a sideline.
10:44 Absolutely.
10:44 Okay, he has taken us somewhere else.
10:46 He has taken us to many places.
10:50 He is in the team.
10:51 He is in the team.
10:53 I said, he is in the team, but he is a sideline.
10:56 He should be a little more active.
10:58 He should think.
10:59 Look, he is bowling from the crepe
11:03 that he has over in Melbourne.
11:05 You should see a little variation
11:07 so that he can get into the rhythm.
11:09 Absolutely right.
11:11 Amir has done a great bowling.
11:13 I want to see Amir's bowling.
11:17 He is not moving his feet.
11:18 Look at his bat swing.
11:19 The bat is getting blocked.
11:20 All these things are going on.
11:22 This will come out of this only when he thinks.
11:24 He will watch his old videos.
11:26 One by one.
11:27 These basics.
11:28 Let me tell you one thing.
11:29 This is a level 1 coaching course.
11:31 Basit has also done it.
11:33 These basic things are applied now.
11:35 When you don't get the form.
11:36 When your technique is bad.
11:38 He should think.
11:39 Go back to basics.
11:40 Basics.
11:41 If he goes on that, definitely.
11:42 The way he has played,
11:44 we are not taking Amir's bowling credit from him.
11:48 Amir has told that he is Amir.
11:50 If he doesn't do variation,
11:52 I salute Kami.
11:54 He spoke to me during the World Cup.
11:58 I didn't see it.
12:00 But the way you all went,
12:02 I saw it with my own eyes.
12:03 Amir is Amir.
12:05 The risk he takes,
12:07 he catches the batsman very easily.
12:09 The reason is that he has made world class batsmen to bowl.
12:12 He has made them to bowl.
12:13 This is a big thing.
12:14 Absolutely right.
12:15 He is a smart bowler.
12:16 He has come to our credit.
12:18 Hassan Ali, the player of the match.
12:21 He will talk to you now.
12:22 He will tell you.
12:24 I have a strong belief that if you are in the right length,
12:27 if you are using your variations,
12:29 if you are using your pace well,
12:31 there are lots of opportunities where you can perform well.
12:34 Once Shan made that decision to field first here today,
12:38 what discussions did the bowling group have
12:41 in how to go about their work?
12:43 As a bowling unit,
12:44 we always said that we need to get wickets up front.
12:48 And then, you know, bowling on the right length.
12:52 So I think we are lucky today.
12:54 We got that toss win.
12:56 And there is a little bit in the pitch.
12:58 And we see that the ball is a bit steaming and a bit swing as well.
13:03 So I think that we utilize it really well as a bowling unit.
13:06 As a senior player in this team now,
13:08 how do you replicate this form going forward?
13:11 I am pretty satisfied with my performance.
13:14 And I am getting wickets for my team.
13:17 And as a senior, I got a couple of plans.
13:23 So I am really satisfied so far.
13:27 Whenever the captain gave me balls,
13:29 I am trying to deliver well.
13:33 And I am pretty satisfied.
13:34 And I think he is also happy with that performance.
13:37 Just finally, how satisfied are you?
13:39 Second place and the leading wicket-takers in the HBLP.
13:42 Well, it is really satisfying for me.
13:44 I have been working really hard since two months.
13:48 But I am getting there.
13:51 So I am really happy.
13:53 And the last one, I think we have a small guest in the house.
13:58 My newborn baby.
13:59 So I just want to dedicate this Man of the Match to my newborn baby, Hazel.
14:03 I think she will be the happiest when she will grow up
14:06 and watch that interview of that Man of the Match.
14:08 Beautiful name, beautiful baby.
14:10 Thank you very much, Hasan, for your time.
14:12 Hasan Ali was talking about his performance.
14:16 And as a senior player, he understands his role very well.
14:19 And for his daughter, he said that
14:21 it will be very memorable when she will grow up and watch it.
14:24 I just remembered a small joke that he was recording.
14:27 Hold that thought.
14:28 Let's talk about Shahan Masood now.
14:29 And then we will come back to Shahid's joke.
14:32 The management were pretty clear that we have played in these conditions.
14:35 And in a day game, double header, some rain around.
14:38 We thought there might be a bit of freshness in the pitch
14:41 with some moisture in.
14:42 And it plays to the hands of some seamers and also the spinners
14:46 where we saw the ball gripping.
14:48 And that's exactly what we were looking for when we won the toss.
14:50 Kind of a rollercoaster ride this season.
14:52 Losing the first one, winning two, dropping three
14:55 and getting back to winning ways today.
14:56 How pleased are you?
14:57 Look, it's a tricky one.
14:59 You want to get out of that rut.
15:01 We lost three in a row, so it was very important to stop that losing momentum
15:04 and start something new.
15:06 We're into the tournament now.
15:08 We're into crunch time.
15:10 And we're in a decent position where we play the teams we're competing against.
15:13 So destiny is still in our own hands.
15:16 But very pleased that we were very professional today,
15:18 especially the bowling unit.
15:19 And we were able to get over the line with some overs to spare as well.
15:22 What impressed you most about that bowling?
15:24 You've got Blessing coming in, Hasan Ali coming in, slow bowling options.
15:27 Not panicking after Quetta got off to a great start in the power play.
15:30 67-1.
15:31 That is a great start.
15:32 And that's what you look with your bowlers.
15:34 And we brought Hasan in to take wickets.
15:35 He takes two.
15:36 Then we bring Blessing in, sacrificing an over that he could have bowled
15:39 at the end, but we were like, we need Rutherford's wicket,
15:42 which harmed us in the last game.
15:44 So again, we took the positive option like last time,
15:48 but this time we were able to get a wicket.
15:50 So I like the intent.
15:51 Zahid bowled really well.
15:52 Mir bowled some great balls up front.
15:54 Shoaib Malik provided some great experience in the middle.
15:57 So I think everyone bowled well in tandem,
15:59 which allowed the other partner to take wickets.
16:01 I know cricket is not about individuals.
16:03 Your captaincy is going very, very well.
16:06 How far away do you think you are from turning that corner?
16:10 Yeah, a bit disappointed, obviously.
16:12 I'm not getting the runs I thought when I was batting today in terms of the pitch.
16:16 We got the best of the conditions as a batting unit.
16:18 So it's disappointing when you don't kick on.
16:20 But look, you take cricket game by game.
16:23 If you start looking at the past or the future too much,
16:25 then I think that's not the best place to be,
16:28 whether you're doing well or you're not.
16:30 So for me, it's about taking a game at a time and just believing that my next
16:33 innings, whenever it comes up, it's going to be a big score.
16:36 Team can replicate this next game?
16:37 Absolutely. I'm hoping that.
16:39 And like I said, we've lost that momentum.
16:42 Now we want to gain some winning momentum.
16:44 All right. Congratulations, Shan. Thanks for your time.
16:46 Thank you, Bish.
16:47 The captain, Shahan Masood, spoke so well.
16:50 He spoke so well.
16:52 And thank God he didn't say learning today.
16:54 He said, "We're going to take this momentum forward."
16:57 Learning process and all that.
16:59 Shahan speaks well.
17:01 Now we have to score for Sushant.
17:03 He's a key player in the top order.
17:05 And he's disappointed himself.
17:07 You tell us the joke you were telling and then we'll go on break.
17:09 I remembered a joke about Hassan.
17:11 A man used to tape his son's voice when he was little.
17:14 Someone asked, "Why do you tape your son's voice?"
17:16 He said, "When he grows up, I'll ask him what he used to say."
17:19 We'll take a commercial break here.
17:22 Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back.
17:24 Glad to have you back once again to our special transmission.
17:26 And we're talking about Usman Tariq.
17:28 And a lot of people aren't able to pick him.
17:30 So, Basit has seen it very closely today.
17:32 And we'll show you some bowling on the screen.
17:35 And Basit will explain how to pick him.
17:38 And what's so special about Usman Tariq?
17:41 The special thing about Usman Tariq is that...
17:44 He's like an office spinner.
17:46 He doesn't break his legs. He flips the ball.
17:50 And it feels like he's breaking his legs with his hands.
17:52 And the ball comes in.
17:54 And the non-bowling arm thing...
17:56 He's controlling it. His non-bowling arm is very strong.
17:58 You see, the ball...
18:00 At the right time, when the non-bowling arm is down...
18:04 He delivers the ball.
18:06 No matter how slow it is.
18:08 The slower it is, the more the non-bowling arm is standing.
18:12 He takes help from there.
18:15 But the bowler is an office spinner.
18:17 Should he be in the World Cup team?
18:19 A little...
18:20 People won't be able to catch him.
18:22 People won't be able to catch him in the World Cup.
18:24 He's changing the subject.
18:26 He's in the World Cup team.
18:28 He's a little like Arshad Khan.
18:30 Look at that.
18:32 Show it again.
18:34 Like Arshad Khan.
18:36 But he's off-breaking with his leg break.
18:38 He's basically googly.
18:40 He's googly. Like Mujeeb from Afghanistan.
18:42 He's googly, so he's off-breaking.
18:44 He's googly, but he thinks it's all leg break.
18:48 If his grip becomes leg break...
18:52 He's doing leg break with his fingers.
18:54 If he does it with his...
18:56 Which finger should he use to bowl?
18:58 The one with the leg break.
19:00 The third one.
19:02 If he does it with this, he'll break his leg.
19:04 Otherwise, he won't.
19:06 But there's one more thing.
19:08 It's very difficult to bowl with a pose.
19:11 You need to put your shoulder and wrist in.
19:14 He's getting an advantage in that.
19:16 Otherwise, it would be very difficult to bowl with such a pose.
19:18 He's also tall.
19:20 That's why I think he should give credit to him.
19:22 He's developed his skills.
19:24 He's also done a good fielding.
19:26 He's done a great fielding.
19:28 But I won't say what you're saying.
19:30 He's not as effective as he was today.
19:32 His score isn't that high.
19:34 117.
19:36 Did anyone take a chance today?
19:38 No.
19:40 If he had scored 880 or 990,
19:42 then it would have been a good chance.
19:44 Speaking of fielding,
19:46 the effort that Khawaja Nafe made today
19:48 to catch a catch,
19:50 if he hadn't caught it,
19:52 it would have been a great catch.
19:54 He tried.
19:56 He tried.
19:58 You know, he's a good fielder.
20:00 He's done a ground fielding.
20:02 Throughout this PSL,
20:04 he's been a good fielder.
20:06 For Pakistan, Quetta, and for himself.
20:08 A good reputation comes from a good fielding.
20:10 He's good at batting.
20:12 He plays long.
20:14 He's only 50.
20:16 He's got guts.
20:18 He's an amazing fielder.
20:20 He needs to work hard.
20:22 He played well in the first match.
20:24 He needs to work hard.
20:26 When he's out in two matches,
20:28 he should talk to his coach, Liaquat.
20:30 He was under pressure in that inning.
20:32 He was under pressure.
20:34 He was under pressure.
20:36 He should have played today.
20:38 It was a good chance.
20:40 But he couldn't play.
20:42 He must have talked to Liaquat.
20:44 He must have talked to Azam Khan
20:46 who's sitting here.
20:48 He must have talked to him.
20:50 He's in Islamabad United.
20:52 No, he's in Quetta.
20:54 Oh, he's the manager.
20:56 He should have talked to Shane Watson.
20:58 We've given him a catch many times.
21:00 Let's go back to the studio.
21:02 There's a match going on here too.
21:04 Moving on.
21:06 We'll talk about today's second match.
21:08 Everyone was expecting
21:10 Karachi to win today
21:12 so that the path to the next round
21:14 is good.
21:16 Everyone is expecting Lahore to win at least.
21:18 A team that has a captain
21:20 from Pakistan
21:22 and he's a defending champion.
21:24 We can't see him in this PSL.
21:26 Today's match is against Islamabad United.
21:28 We'll talk about this match
21:30 on the other side of this break.
21:32 Stay with us.
21:34 Karachi has won one match.
21:36 In the second match,
21:38 Islamabad United and Lahore Calander
21:40 will face off in Pindi.
21:42 We'll start with you, Shahid.
21:44 Your prediction of this game and why?
21:46 Lahore Calander?
21:48 They'll win at least one time.
21:50 Just for this reason.
21:52 Okay.
21:54 Basit?
21:56 What?
21:58 About the match?
22:00 I'll go with Islamabad.
22:02 But I'll say one thing.
22:04 Whoever reaches the second half from Karachi
22:06 should play a heavy role on the pitch.
22:08 Okay.
22:10 Kamran?
22:12 Islamabad has momentum,
22:14 victory, good combination.
22:16 They won the first half.
22:18 Lahore will have to play aggressive cricket.
22:20 Balling is important.
22:22 They're scoring runs in every match.
22:24 But they're not bowling.
22:26 It'll depend on the bowling.
22:28 They should break through early.
22:30 They shouldn't let Islamabad score more than 170.
22:32 If it's the first half,
22:34 then the bowler will have to work harder.
22:36 The wicket will be different.
22:38 Your prediction?
22:40 Lahore.
22:42 I'll say Lahore too.
22:44 I said it last night.
22:46 I'll say Lahore too.
22:48 If two big cities start losing,
22:50 then PSL will be ruined.
22:52 They'll lose.
22:54 But they'll win.
22:56 They'll move ahead.
22:58 They'll win the match.
23:00 Shahid, you didn't give a reason.
23:02 I want to know.
23:04 A team is losing so many matches.
23:06 What should they do?
23:08 If they bowl well,
23:10 they'll win.
23:12 Islamabad United is still
23:14 scratchy.
23:16 They're not playing good cricket.
23:18 Although it's their home ground,
23:20 Lahore will fight back.
23:22 They'll resolve
23:24 that they're champions twice.
23:26 Why are we losing?
23:28 They'll give their all and win.
23:30 I think they don't have an off spinner.
23:32 They have a left or a left spinner.
23:34 No one has an off spinner.
23:36 They have it in Multan,
23:38 Karachi, Lahore,
23:40 Peshawar.
23:42 Why are they losing an off spinner?
23:44 My advisor will tell you.
23:46 I'm not the advisor.
23:48 You were supposed to give the advice.
23:50 I was supposed to give the advice.
23:52 You should have seen it.
23:54 I gave this advice.
23:56 What was the reason?
23:58 If they play this kind of pitch,
24:00 the batsmen of Islamabad will have a problem.
24:02 They're stock players.
24:04 They don't improvise.
24:06 But they have spinners.
24:08 They don't have quality spinners.
24:10 They have a leg spinner.
24:12 No, no.
24:14 Salman Fayyaz.
24:16 He's a left arm spinner.
24:18 They should have Fakhar play.
24:20 He's a good bowler.
24:22 Fakhar's man of the match is important.
24:24 He's a 9.
24:26 It's important to score 10.
24:28 If Fakhar bowls against Islamabad,
24:30 I think Islamabad will bowl.
24:32 Pindi is a match.
24:34 Islamabad will bowl.
24:36 My problem is that
24:38 we're talking about bowling
24:40 but we're talking about batting.
24:42 We're talking about running Lahore.
24:44 They're not getting the flow.
24:46 Basit, they're not getting the flow.
24:48 Fakhar runs for them in every season.
24:50 We were talking about this yesterday.
24:52 Fakhar has been the man of the match
24:54 in the history of PSL.
24:56 He's a 9.
24:58 It's important that he doesn't bowl 50.
25:00 He's a player.
25:02 He didn't bowl up or down.
25:04 He's playing top of the order.
25:06 If he bowls 3 or 4,
25:08 maybe the fortunes will change.
25:10 Even though Fakhar doesn't run,
25:12 he's scored a lot of runs.
25:14 He's scored so much
25:16 that he can defend like a bowler.
25:18 If he chases 190 or 180,
25:20 it means that
25:22 not only because Fakhar doesn't run,
25:24 but because he's losing,
25:26 he's struggling.
25:28 That's right.
25:30 Again,
25:32 if he wins the toss,
25:34 what should he do?
25:36 It's obvious.
25:38 If he wins the toss, he'll bowl a second time.
25:40 That's why I'm saying
25:42 to bowl a heavy roll.
