00:00The Pakistan Cricket Board has prepared a pitch for the first test match against Bangladesh.
00:06It seems that Pakistan's management, Pakistan's think tank had forgotten that Pakistan's batters can also have to bat first.
00:18And the same thing happened, which was not feared by the PCB officials, but we were.
00:24That is, how will Pakistan's batters, who always fight on such pitches, handle it?
00:33And the things that have come to light today, especially during the first 9 overs, were extremely scary.
00:40But later Sam Ayub, Saud Shakeel and Muhammad Rizwan, who did a great batting,
00:48due to which the Pakistan team could not complete the overs till the end of the day.
00:54There were to be 48 overs today, which could not be done.
00:581.5 sessions had already been wasted due to the bad ground.
01:05But the important thing is that when will our batters perform?
01:11I am not talking about this one match, nor is it my habit to talk about anyone based on the performance of one or two matches.
01:21There is a long list here, whether I am Babar Azam, Abdullah Shafiq or Shahan Masood,
01:29there is a very big question mark on their performance in the test format.
01:35But our team management, our selectors or captains are not ready to give a chance to new players.
01:44Now if I talk about Abdullah Shafiq here, although there are many fans of his and they think that
01:51Abdullah Shafiq can be a very big player for the future, it may be so,
01:55it may be that his technique is really like that, as team management, selectors or coaches think.
02:02But my style is different.
02:05Instead of focusing on the fact that this player can do this, he can do that, he will do this,
02:13today, not this year, next year, next year, not next year, next year,
02:17not in our era, but in the era of our children, he will become a player.
02:21I don't think like that.
02:23I look at which player is giving performance.
02:28And this should be the most important thing in my opinion,
02:31that instead of personal likes and dislikes,
02:34it should be seen who is scoring runs for the team,
02:37which player is batting or bowling according to the standards of international cricket.
02:43Now before I go to the score of the match,
02:47let me tell you a little bit about the work of these players, then I will share,
02:50then you will be able to understand why these players are not performing.
02:59All the three players who flopped today are not just about this match or innings.
03:05This has happened before too.
03:08I have to give some credit to Sam Ayub,
03:14he was in a difficult situation when he was batting, but scored a great 50.
03:18This was the third test innings of his career and the second test match.
03:21He was continuously flopping in T20 international cricket,
03:24but here he has been successful in giving performance.
03:27Although 56 runs are not a very big performance in terms of test format,
03:31but according to the situation today,
03:34these 56 runs can be counted as equal to his 156 runs.
03:39And today, Sam Ayub, who is a great batter,
03:42although I was not in favor of giving a chance to Sam Ayub,
03:46but I wanted to give a chance to Mohammad Huraira,
03:49that Sam Ayub was not able to succeed much in international cricket for Pakistan.
03:55But let's move on now.
03:57Abdullah Shafiq played 14 innings today,
04:00made 2 runs and got out.
04:01And the last 19 test innings,
04:06not 1, not 2, but 19,
04:08he has been able to play 50 plus innings only twice,
04:12in which there is a 50, a double century,
04:14he is unsuccessful in the other 17 innings.
04:17A player who you can say is a part of our future plan,
04:23is a very big player of the future,
04:25if his performance is below this level in 2.5 years,
04:30if his non-permanent temperament is such that he is a flop in the 17 innings out of 19,
04:36then how can you expect him?
04:38And okay, if he has the ability,
04:42then when will he come in front?
04:44The real thing is this,
04:46if you want to say, I can also say that I am a very big batsman,
04:49I will have to prove that I am or not,
04:55the next will accept when you will give runs.
04:58Anyway, look at his last 4 innings,
05:014, 0, 0, 2,
05:05this is his score,
05:06and his non-permanent temperament is increasing.
05:11Now I think he has less time,
05:14that if a new player is given a chance,
05:17then he will have to give a necessary performance.
05:20And apart from that,
05:21Shaan Masood, who was dropped from the Pakistan team,
05:25in the last 8 out of 6 innings,
05:28he was out on a single digit score,
05:30that is, 9 or less score,
05:33and in just 2 innings, he was able to cross the limit of 10 runs,
05:36he did not even cross 20 runs in them.
05:39And when he came back after being dropped,
05:43then there was no improvement in his performance.
05:47Although he did two fifties in Australia,
05:49but overall, in the last 9 test matches,
05:52which have been played since his comeback,
05:55he has played 16 innings,
05:57his best score is 60 runs,
06:01he is the batsman of number 3,
06:04which is a very big responsibility in the test format,
06:08his best score is 60,
06:09which is an average of 25,
06:11and in 16 innings, he has only 3 wickets,
06:14he is our new test captain.
06:17If he moves forward with such a performance,
06:21and that too to the number 3 player,
06:23then I think,
06:25the people who are thinking that our team is going towards improvement,
06:29they may live in some other world.
06:32Now comes Baba Razam,
06:35his performance in the test format is not the same as today,
06:40he has been flapping continuously since 2023.
06:43The last 50-plus innings played by Wasuf,
06:47he played against New Zealand in December 2022,
06:51he made 101 runs in the Karachi test.
06:54After that, he has been flapping continuously,
06:56and in the last 13 test innings,
06:59he has not been able to make a single 50.
07:02Baba Razam, who is included in the top 5 batters of the world,
07:06in the top 5 of every format,
07:09is the only player in the world,
07:11he has not been able to play a single 50-plus innings since 2023,
07:16so what would be a bigger thing than this,
07:18that we say that Baba Razam is 2-4 from that class,
07:21he is not making runs in the test format.
07:25Before this, it is obvious that he has made runs,
07:27that is why he is the 4th best batsman in the world in the test format,
07:30in the test ranking,
07:32but since 2023, he is struggling,
07:35he is not able to make runs,
07:37and this is a very big question mark.
07:40Earlier it was being said that if he is removed from his captaincy,
07:44then his farm will be destroyed,
07:46but in Australia, he was neither a captain,
07:49nor was he a captain playing against Bangladesh,
07:53but there is no improvement in his performance,
07:57and this is a very big question mark,
08:00and Baba Razam himself should recognize that
08:04if my performance remains like this,
08:07then no one will support me,
08:10and if you look at his performance since 2023,
08:13he has an average of 21 in 12 innings of 7 test matches,
08:18in the test format, the average of 21 is of the 4th number player,
08:23this is beyond comprehension,
08:25and his strike rate is 53,
08:28well, we don't talk much about the strike rate here,
08:30well, this shows that the 3 batsmen who are struggling,
08:34this is not just today,
08:36they have been failing for a long time,
08:39apart from that, today's match,
08:41Pakistan's 3 wickets fell on 16 runs,
08:44and it seems that on this pitch,
08:47the grass that has been left on the pitch,
08:50or a fast track has been made,
08:51it was not thought that we may have to bat first,
08:55and that's what happened,
08:57and the way Pakistan's batsmen had difficulties against Bangladesh's bowlers,
09:02they were not expecting that,
09:04and we hope that when such a pitch comes,
09:08then what happens to Pakistan's batters,
09:11but anyway,
09:12Saud Shaqeel and Saim Ayub,
09:15did a great batting,
09:17and by scoring 98 runs,
09:20Pakistan's problems were reduced to some extent,
09:23or the fear was reduced,
09:24which we were understanding that the Pakistan team could not even do 150 runs,
09:29and in today's match,
09:30Abdullah Shafiq made 2 runs and got out,
09:32played 14 balls,
09:34Shahan Masood played 11 balls,
09:36scored 6 runs on one wicket,
09:38Babar Azam got out on the second ball only,
09:40on 0,
09:41Saud Shaqeel did a great batting,
09:43played 92 balls,
09:44scored 57 runs on 5 wickets,
09:47and he is present on the crease,
09:49Saim Ayub did 56 runs for 98 balls,
09:524 wickets and a 6,
09:54which is the only 6 of Pakistan's innings so far,
09:57apart from this,
09:57Mohammad Rizwan is present on the crease by making 24 runs on 31 wickets,
10:02Pakistan has made 158 runs on 4 wickets in total,
10:07and I think this is a good score,
10:11if Pakistan adds 100 or 125 runs to their score on the last 6 wickets,
10:17then according to this pitch,
10:19Pakistan will get a good score on the scoreboard,
10:23and on a pitch where there is help for fast bowlers,
10:27and there are all fast bowlers in Pakistan's attack,
10:30so there are chances for the Pakistan team to make a comeback in the match,
10:35and make the match their own,
10:37if the weather allows it.
10:39The 4 wickets that have been scored today,
10:42have been scored by all 4 fast bowlers,
10:45Spinner has scored 6 runs on every wicket,
10:51Shakib Al-Husain has scored 2 overs,
10:5312 runs,
10:54Mehdi Hasan Miraz has scored 4 overs,
10:5624 runs,
10:58so these are the fast bowlers who have been able to show a good bowling performance,
11:04and have been able to trouble the Pakistan team.
11:07So this is a sign,
11:09which we can say that Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shahafridi,
11:12Mohammad Ali, Khurram Shehzad,
11:14this is the Pakistan's attack,
11:16which can make Pakistan successful in this match,
11:19which is still the case.
11:21And tomorrow's first session,
11:23if it doesn't rain,
11:25and there is a forecast,
11:27but if it doesn't rain tomorrow,
11:29then the first session will be very important,
11:33if Pakistan's batters,
11:35in the first session,
11:37have been successful in handling their wickets,
11:39in the future,
11:41they will be able to go to the board and
11:43maintain their position.
11:45But for this, it is important,
11:47that tomorrow's first session,
11:49is played well.
