00:00You can see that it was raining when the match was going on.
00:04Due to the rain, there was a possibility of overs being less in the match.
00:07In this situation, Jonathan Trott, who was their coach, was told to slow down the match.
00:15It looked like they were playing dhol, but they weren't.
00:18He was telling them to slow down.
00:19After that, as soon as Rashid Khan reached there to bowl...
00:22And in this situation...
00:24Oh, man! Let's show this scene a little earlier.
00:26Our brother was standing there.
00:28And as soon as he held his hamstring and lay down...
00:32It looked like a sniper shot him in the back of the leg.
00:36Yes.
00:37Okay?
00:38After that, Rashid Khan...
00:40After that, he had to leave the field.
00:45And we can see Rashid Khan in anger as to what's happening.
00:49All the former cricketers and commentators are saying that it was a fake injury.
00:54Because when the match started again after the rain...
00:57The way they came running...
01:00Michael Vaughan commented on that.
01:03He said that Gulbadan should get an Oscar award.
01:09And he also said that the former English cricketer...
01:12He is the first cricketer in the history of Afghanistan...
01:15Who came back to the match after 25 minutes after being shot in the leg...
01:19And performed well.
01:21Amazing!
01:21So, we have with us the Chief Specialist, Mr. Shahid Ashby.
01:24Let's talk to him.
01:27Mr. Shahid, I can see that the Afghan players are good in game awareness.
01:32They are good in the game.
01:33And their nerves are good in fielding.
01:37They are performing well.
01:38They speak English well.
01:39And now they have started acting well.
01:41So, what's their next goal? Hollywood?
01:45It seems that the way Gulbadan did it...
01:48The social media is full of it.
01:50But everyone does this kind of delaying tactics.
01:53The Australians are winging because their team is out.
01:56And the team that is out is the team from Afghanistan.
01:59The way he acted was sudden.
02:03He should have run and acted like a muscle puller.
02:07But he was standing in the strip and couldn't pull any hamstring.
02:10That's why he was trolling.
02:11It seemed that when the Afghan players were lifting him...
02:15Someone held his hand and he said...
02:16No, not my hand. I have an injury in my hamstring.
02:20Okay.
02:20So, he reacted a bit too quickly when he was told to trot.
02:26So, he is speaking English.
02:28And now the English are making fun of him.
02:30Michael Vaughan and the Australians are making fun of him.
02:32So, the Australians do it too.
02:33The Australians always use deliberate tactics.
02:36It's their fault. They are very jealous.
02:38They can say that too.
02:41But Mr. Chai, are these the rules of the ICC?
02:45Isn't it a crime if you are deliberately delaying and wasting time?
02:50No, if there are three umpires...
02:52One is the TV umpire and the other is the match referee.
02:55They take notice of it.
02:57If they delay the time too much...
02:59But within three minutes, he stood up and started trotting.
03:02Then the umpire says that you are wasting time.
03:05If your injury is severe, you should go out.
03:07So, within three minutes, if the umpire would have reacted, he would have.
03:10But he didn't react.
03:12He recovered quickly.
03:13Gulbhagin went out.
03:15So, as such, I don't feel any penalty.
03:17But still, the match referee is watching.
03:19Within 24 hours, something comes up.
03:21If it comes up today,
03:22if he is reprimanded or fined, then we will know.
03:26Otherwise, I don't think there will be any action.
03:29Let's change the idiom.
03:30Everything is permissible in love and war.
03:32Love in war and cricket is also permissible.
03:36Of course. They are warriors of war.
03:39Warriors never leave their loved ones.
03:42So, when everything is permissible in love and war,
03:45if he delays it a little...
03:47But within the rules,
03:48he didn't waste so much time.
03:52When the umpire sees that it is raining and he is going on DLS,
03:55that's why he didn't take any action.
03:59Okay. One more thing.
04:00Mr. Shahid, sorry to cut you.
04:02Yesterday, I was reading about his relatives,
04:04Bani, who brought the DLS law.
04:07Yesterday, I was getting news about him that he has passed away.
04:09So, it's a coincidence.
04:12One of the inventors.
04:13Yes, I think Gulbagin's news reached him.
04:16That's why he said this.
04:18But he passed away on 21st.
04:20He lived in a small village in England.
04:25So, he got the news late.
04:27We got the news on 23rd or 24th.
04:28He passed away on 21st.
04:30Okay. Now, tell us about the semi-final lineup.
04:35South Africans have always been very unlucky.
04:39They played really well.
04:40But in the end, they face some problems.
04:43I was remembering the era of Lance Kloosner.
04:46He was so invincible.
04:50He trashed our bowlers as well.
04:53But he never moved forward.
04:55This time, South Africa...
04:56Both played semi-finals and both lost.
04:58Yes. What were your expectations from South Africa this time?
05:01Against Afghanistan.
05:03This time, they won the match very close to home.
05:05They won the match with one run, four runs and three wickets.
05:09It looks like they are used to crucial moments.
05:14They won the match with one run, four runs and three wickets.
05:17This time, they won't choke.
05:19People expect them to do this.
05:21Makram is their new captain.
05:22He is young and intelligent.
05:24He has won the Junior World Cup trophy in 2014.
05:28Many people expect him to win the senior trophy as well.
05:32In 2014, he came to Pakistan.
05:34This time, Afghanistan is in front of him.
05:36Makram is being praised a lot.
05:38This year, he has won the Rugby World Cup for the fourth time.
05:41So, we are trying to relate to that.
05:43When we won the Rugby World Cup, we won the Cricket World Cup.
05:46The second semi-final is between England and India.
05:49Is it obvious that England will give a tough time?
05:54The semi-final will be very close.
05:56When the semi-final was held in 2022,
05:59England won with ten wickets after a one-sided match.
06:02But in that match and in this match,
06:05Jasprit Bumrah was not there.
06:06He was injured. He didn't play in the World Cup.
06:09He has played outstanding bowling.
06:11Before this last match, he played in Australia.
06:15Bumrah played 114 games in five matches.
06:18He scored 77 dot balls.
06:20He scored ten wickets with only 65 runs.
06:23This was the most economical bowling in this tournament.
06:26So, Bumrah will create a difference.
06:29Okay. Thank you so much, Shahid Hashmi, for being with us.
06:32The first final is on Thursday.
06:34I hope tomorrow is Thursday.
06:36It's between South Africa and Afghanistan.
06:38Let's see what happens then.
06:39What happens in the match?
06:40What will be the timing?
06:42Timing?
06:42To tell you the truth,
06:44I stopped paying attention to the timings after the nature's will.
06:48When my team is out, why do we have to work so hard?
06:51You say that you watch all the matches.
06:53I do that. I watch the matches.
06:55But in that, at the end time,
06:57you go to Crick Info and notice the timing of the match.
07:01What is the situation?
07:02You watch it and move on.
07:04But the interest and passion remains.
07:06At home, there is a person who watches all the matches.
07:13So, your interest develops.
07:16We will talk about the match later as the tournament is still going on.
