00:00 Assalamu alaikum, hello and welcome to Surf Excel present ICC T20 World Cup special transmission powered by LiveBoy Shampoo.
00:07 As you know, there is only one match in the World Cup today.
00:11 India will face off against Ireland.
00:14 This match will be at 7.30pm in New York.
00:17 I have with me my panel, Kamran Akmal, Basit Ali and Shahid Ashmi.
00:20 Assalamu alaikum, welcome to the show.
00:21 Kamran, let's start with you.
00:23 It's an important game and it will help India understand how to play and what strategy to use before the big game.
00:32 For Ireland, it's a tough task because they have a big team ahead of them but they are good at upsetting the opponent.
00:40 They are very good.
00:42 In the last tour of India, they were playing well in the match with 3-4 runs but they couldn't finish it well.
00:48 For both the teams, it's important to get momentum and a good start.
00:53 No doubt, on paper, India is a far better team.
00:56 They are number one and they are confident.
00:59 We will have to see how their pitch is.
01:02 In the first match against South Africa and Sri Lanka, the pitch was like this.
01:06 India can come under pressure.
01:09 If Ireland makes 110-120 runs before batting, it can be difficult.
01:13 I think the pitch has to be good.
01:16 It's important to gain confidence before the big game.
01:19 It's important to start and get used to the conditions.
01:23 Before the big game, it's important to have a good match and get used to the conditions.
01:28 Basant, tell us how important is the pitch?
01:32 The thing is, the runs are not being made in this way.
01:35 But as the matches get more, the pitch will start performing better.
01:40 Do you agree with this?
01:42 Today, the curator of grounds has asked us to decide whether to keep the same pitch or improve it.
01:49 We have to decide what we will work on.
01:52 Because it's an India match.
01:54 If the pitch is like the South Africa and Sri Lanka match, then it means all the matches will be like this.
02:01 If the pitch is better in today's match, then all the matches in New York should be better.
02:07 Otherwise, there will be a lot of shouting at ICC.
02:11 There will be a lot of shouting.
02:13 No one will leave the pitch.
02:14 Whether it's my country, Sri Lanka or South Africa, the pitch should be equal for everyone.
02:20 It shouldn't be that Shahid bhai has a good pitch and I have a bad pitch.
02:25 This shouldn't happen.
02:26 Till now, there has been a lot of shouting at ICC.
02:30 No one is sitting quietly.
02:32 This match is coming for the quality.
02:34 I want a good pitch. Basant has given me a good pitch.
02:40 Andy Atkinson, the chief curator of ICC, will take a big binocular and will see which is the best pitch.
02:50 He will give it to India.
02:51 Usually, the stats say that a small team like Ireland has the ability to upset a team whose name starts with P.
03:00 That is Pakistan.
03:01 So, it will be very difficult for India.
03:03 But the stats say that a small team can upset a team by bowling second.
03:11 70% of the matches, small teams have won by bowling second.
03:15 Shahid bhai, what do you think?
03:17 New York's first match was against South Africa and Sri Lanka.
03:20 No one will bat for Tajikistan.
03:22 First, they will bowl.
03:24 Every pitch will not be South Africa and Sri Lanka.
03:27 Today, we will know that it is the same pitch.
03:33 India will never play on the same pitch as South Africa and Sri Lanka.
03:36 New York was bad.
03:38 New York was bad.
03:39 Secondly, the outfield of India can't be better.
03:43 I am telling you, Andy Atkinson.
03:45 Tomorrow, he will be looking for the best pitch for India.
03:49 India can have a good ground field.
03:52 We have seen that.
03:53 If the outfield is slow, you can play a role.
03:56 If the ground is hard, you can bowl.
04:00 The ICC has already decided the pitch for the match.
04:04 I think, every match will be better.
04:07 They are hoping for it.
04:08 Otherwise, the World Cup will be a big problem.
04:11 It is already a big problem.
04:12 But they want to save more.
04:14 So, I think, they have to play better matches.
04:17 Basit bhai, there are some bad problems and some good problems.
04:20 India has some good problems.
04:22 They have so many options to play.
04:24 Coming from IPL, they have some performers.
04:27 What combination will they make?
04:29 What team will they choose?
04:31 It is an issue to choose.
04:33 It will be difficult.
04:34 They have brought three fast bowlers.
04:36 They have prepared for the Western Disc.
04:39 There is more spinners and dominations.
04:42 But here, they have brought three fast bowlers,
04:45 fourth Pandya and Dubey.
04:48 They have brought two Pandya, Dubey and two spinners.
04:52 So, they will have a problem.
04:54 And if you talk about IPL,
04:56 IPL is on Patla pitches.
04:58 Of course, there is a significant difference.
05:00 And this is an open ground.
05:02 There will be a lot of air interference.
05:04 We have seen it.
05:05 You have seen, North India has bowled four outs.
05:08 They have bowled three shots and got out on the boundary.
05:10 These are big factors.
05:12 Today's match is very important for us.
05:16 We have to watch it carefully.
05:18 Tomorrow is our match.
05:20 But it is on a different place.
05:22 Tomorrow is our match on 9th.
05:24 That is very important.
05:26 I pray that it will be a South African match.
05:29 Because India has spoiled our momentum in the Asia Cup.
05:33 I pray that our bowlers' momentum starts from New York.
05:36 I think,
05:37 whichever New York pitch it is,
05:39 it can be better.
05:41 This is the point.
05:42 But still, I think it will be bowling friendly for fast bowlers.
05:45 We have to take advantage of the edge.
05:48 We are taking advantage.
05:50 Other teams are taking advantage.
05:51 But we are not.
05:52 Because we don't go at our pace.
05:55 We go to slow bowls on variations.
05:58 If you rely on pace and swing,
06:00 then it is a surprise bowl.
06:02 You bowl slow.
06:04 So, this smartness should come in our bowlers.
06:06 We have seen that we are bowling slow.
06:10 Our bowlers are also 145 or 140.
06:13 But we are depending on variations.
06:16 So, I think we should use our pace.
06:19 Especially against India,
06:21 we should focus on this.
06:24 We should tell the bowling coach and head coach.
06:26 And as bowlers, we should understand this.
06:28 We should focus on India.
06:30 Because for India,
06:31 the ground is the same.
06:32 The hotel is 10 minutes away.
06:34 So, the ICC's favour on India,
06:38 the situation is similar.
06:41 Mr. Shahid, your thoughts on this?
06:43 It is like this.
06:44 From where money comes,
06:46 the pool of 600 million dollars of the year of ICC,
06:49 80% comes from India.
06:51 And India also gets 230 million back.
06:54 So, it is India's will.
06:56 You are giving so much favour to one team
07:00 and spoiling the fun of the world cup.
07:02 It depends on other teams.
07:03 The media doesn't say so much.
07:04 The international media doesn't say so much.
07:06 An Australian newspaper wrote
07:08 that Simon Wilde of Times newspaper
07:11 writes so much.
07:13 Otherwise, the international media
07:15 doesn't say anything about it.
07:17 Neither Australia nor England.
07:19 So, it is okay.
07:20 You should be afraid of that time
07:21 when Jai Shah becomes the president of ICC.
07:23 Then, India will be India in the world cup.
07:26 India will be India.
07:27 Absolutely right.
07:28 We can't say anything else
07:30 because millions of dollars are received from IPL.
07:33 Our players don't go.
07:35 Even if they are from Australia,
07:37 they don't say anything.
07:38 One thing is that
07:39 IPL is okay.
07:40 We can't say anything.
07:41 When the international world cup is going to happen,
07:43 then the boards should think.
07:44 I think that
07:45 nothing is more important than the country.
07:47 Nothing is more important than the team.
07:49 I think that ICC doesn't need to do much.
07:52 Their team is settled.
07:53 They don't need it.
07:54 If you treat it the same way,
07:56 no one will say anything to ICC
07:58 and no one will say anything to India.
07:59 Then everyone will feel good.
08:01 I just want to say that
08:03 when this schedule was being made,
08:05 why were the boards silent?
08:07 Why didn't they raise their voice?
08:09 Why are they raising their voice now
08:11 when the world cup has started?
08:12 They should have spoken earlier.
08:14 In the schedule,
08:15 it's okay.
08:16 There is no such thing that
08:17 you are playing a match
08:18 and there are four different venues.
08:19 And the semi-final will also be later.
08:21 But in the last moment of the hoteling,
08:24 it is found that
08:25 all the hotels in New York are booked.
08:27 Let's put Sri Lanka somewhere else.
08:29 But it is absolutely right that
08:31 when the board meeting takes place,
08:33 they should raise their voice.
08:35 And I think the way this behavior is,
08:37 there will be a rebellion.
08:39 Not today, not tomorrow,
08:41 but there will be a rebellion.
08:43 Why are the international teams
08:45 and board professionals here?
08:47 Why are the directors here?
08:48 We can't ask.
08:49 Did India close its eyes and say
08:51 that we should do this hotel?
08:53 They must have done all the work.
08:54 They must have said that
08:55 we will stay here.
08:56 So the rest of the boards can do it.
08:58 They can find out everything.
08:59 Now which things are far away?
09:00 Everything comes on Google.
09:01 Because the game is also getting disturbed by this.
09:04 How did Sri Lanka find out
09:06 everything about the Sri Lankan team?
09:08 I will give you an example.
09:09 In 2011, Hummington was a new venue.
09:12 We didn't know the hotel where we stayed
09:14 for a day.
09:15 It was a drive of two and a half hours.
09:17 The next day, we didn't go to practice
09:19 before a match.
09:20 We said we will get mentally fatigued.
09:22 How will we play?
09:23 It was a World Cup match.
09:24 We didn't go.
09:25 So the Sri Lankan team
09:26 is going to the match
09:27 after a drive of one hour and 40 minutes.
09:29 They must have woken up by now.
09:31 Now, we won't keep the boys and team relaxed.
09:33 This is the responsibility of the ICC.
09:35 It is the fault of the boards
09:37 who didn't say when the schedule was made.
09:39 Absolutely right.
09:40 We will take a break here.
09:41 Don't go anywhere.
