00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum. Hello and welcome to Sports Room. I am your host, Najeeb Ulhasnain.
00:21The first day of the second and last test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh.
00:26Due to rain and bad outfield, the match was called off.
00:31Our sports correspondent Mr. Shahid Hashmi and former fast bowler Mr. Abdul Rauf are with us in the studio to talk about the match.
00:37Mr. Shahid, let me come to you first.
00:39Rain has wasted one day and you have four days left.
00:42And in these four days, it will continue to rain.
00:46Will Pakistan be able to save the series?
00:48It is very difficult, but you should try to understand this short match as three or four days.
00:56Go to Pakistan with full strength and force.
00:59Don't base it on assumptions that we will win the toss, we will out Bangladesh at 200 runs.
01:04We will take the lead in the innings, we will win with the innings.
01:07Don't go on assumptions.
01:08When we played the first test match, that it will rain, we will win the toss, we will blow it, we will do this.
01:14Don't go on assumptions.
01:15Play good cricket.
01:16There are a lot of teams in four days to win the match.
01:19I don't think anyone is thinking right now, Mr. Shahid, that we will win with the innings.
01:24In four days, you will have to play one or two innings less.
01:28Two innings for both teams is difficult, but not impossible.
01:31Teams get out very quickly.
01:34God willing, the pitch is good and the fast bowlers are responsive.
01:37And we will win it quickly.
01:39There will be a lot of pressure on the Pakistan team at this time.
01:42There is a lot of pressure on Shahan Masood.
01:43Then there are some of our main players who are not playing, not performing.
01:46There is a lot of responsibility on them too.
01:48There will be pressure on Shahan Masood because he did not make runs in the last test match.
01:546 and 14, which are unacceptable.
01:57If the captain is losing and his performance is good, then it works.
02:01And if he is not making a run and the team is winning, then the pressure on him is less.
02:05But there is a lot of pressure on Shahan Masood.
02:07Gales is also new.
02:09When he came to the first press conference yesterday, I found him very light.
02:15He was making accusations in Bangladesh that our over-slow rate is because of him.
02:21Tell your bowlers to hurry up.
02:23Don't do the conference.
02:24The captain should hurry up.
02:26Former fast bowler Abdul Rauf has also joined us.
02:28Rauf, first of all, I would like to know from you that four days are left.
02:32The weather will still be affected.
02:34Do you think Pakistan will be able to save this series?
02:39I don't think Pakistan will be able to save this series.
02:42I don't think Pakistan will be able to take any significant benefits from this test match.
02:48The first test match of Bangladesh has lost by a comprehensive margin of 10 wickets.
02:54If a team is losing by 10 wickets in their home ground,
02:58then I don't think you can expect anything better from your home team in the second test.
03:03Your confidence level is completely shattered.
03:06Your bowlers' body language has completely fallen.
03:09You got the second or third ball.
03:11After that, all your actions with the bowlers came out completely.
03:15It was obvious that they have never played a test cricket or played a first-class cricket.
03:19This is the reason that you had to draft your premier fast bowler, Shaheen Afridi.
03:24When you draft the most premier fast bowler, it means that you have gone to the back foot.
03:30After that, the body language of your team's management is very poor.
03:34Jason Gillespie could have been a bowling coach,
03:37but to make him a strategic coach or head coach without any degree, without any higher education,
03:42is a big surprise for me.
03:44Then to put his assistant Azhar Mehmood, this is a very surprising decision.
03:48And then your captain, Shahan Masood, he has a failure in the 24th inning.
03:52In the 24th inning, he has only two fifties in Australia.
03:55Apart from that, his average is 13 or 14, which is a very ordinary average.
03:58Then your main batsman, Babur Azam, in the last 10 or 11 innings,
04:03he could not score even one fifty.
04:05So how could you do this in these circumstances?
04:07Okay, let's come to the things one by one.
04:09All the pointers you have given,
04:11I was just talking to Mr. Shahid,
04:13there will be a lot of pressure on Shahan.
04:15You yourself explained it very well
04:17that he has not been able to perform for a long time.
04:20And we were talking a lot about Babur's captaincy,
04:24that his captaincy is not right.
04:26So, Shahan's captaincy has also disappointed.
04:28How do you see this?
04:31Yes, absolutely.
04:32I think that when you think without thinking, without vision,
04:35and without any planning,
04:37if you take such decisions,
04:39then this will be the end result.
04:41You are not seeing that your players,
04:43their performance in test cricket is completely declined.
04:4513 or 14, it is an average of 15 runs,
04:47you pick them up and make them the captain.
04:49Then you don't have a replacement plan.
04:51And the biggest problem is that
04:53you repeatedly put the whole of Pakistan on the same thing
04:56that Babur Azam says that he should give a captaincy for a year,
04:59the other says that he should not give a captaincy.
05:01Brother, this is the job of the Pakistan Cricket Board,
05:04whether it gives a captaincy or not.
05:06And if it does not give a captaincy,
05:08after giving it for 4-5 years,
05:10it gave it in Wanda, it gave it in T20,
05:12it gave it in test matches,
05:14it did not improve even 1%
05:16and the worst result came in front of you.
05:19Then where is your replacement plan?
05:21You don't have a replacement for an opener,
05:23you don't have a replacement for a middle-holder,
05:25you don't have a replacement for a wicket-keeper.
05:27Now you should be ashamed that you have to keep
05:29Sir Faraz Ahmed again at the age of 36
05:31on the replacement of Rizwan.
05:33You have not been able to develop a wicket-keeper in the last 20 years,
05:35nor have you been able to develop a captain,
05:37nor do you have a baller's bat,
05:39nor do you have a spinner
05:41that you can adjust in your home series.
05:43That is a strange mess in the Pakistan Cricket Board
05:45that I will not be able to face.
05:47Absolutely right.
05:49The most important point is that
05:51the bad captain of Shahan does not decide
05:53that Babar was a better captain
05:55or he became a good captain.
05:57He was given a very long run,
05:59so now this debate is over
06:01that he should get a captain.
06:03You did not prepare an option for a captain.
06:05If you understand at this time
06:07that in this lot,
06:09could Rizwan have been a better option?
06:11Now you will have to see the Pakistan Cricket Board,
06:13but don't be in a hurry.
06:15Too early.
06:17It is a matter of pride that
06:19whenever the Pakistan team is back to the wall,
06:21they perform well.
06:23You cannot do worse than this.
06:25The way Pakistan is coming from Bangladesh
06:27with 10 wickets,
06:29they out you in planning,
06:31they out you in the game,
06:33they out you in batting,
06:35bowling, fielding, everything.
06:37I have always been impressed
06:39with Shahan's knowledge of the game.
06:41But in this game,
06:43they disappointed.
06:45It was raining on the 5th day.
06:47What kind of mistakes did you make?
06:49We made a lot of mistakes.
06:51You made a lot of mistakes
06:53because you planned
06:55that you will take the ball from a fast bowler
06:57and it will be a green top wicket.
06:59You completely ruled out
07:01that option of a spinner.
07:03And everyone did it.
07:05Not one, but the head coach did it.
07:07A high performance coach came,
07:09Tim Nielsen, who has been Australia's
07:11head coach for four years.
07:13He has brought Australia A's team to Pakistan.
07:15He doesn't know the condition of Pakistan.
07:17When everyone got out smart,
07:19it means you lost.
07:21I was thinking that if Shahan
07:23does well in these two matches,
07:25does well in the test match,
07:27then you will have a long-term solution.
07:29You have to come for the Champions Trophy.
07:31You have to come for the Champions Trophy.
07:33You have to come for the Champions Trophy.
07:35You have to come for the Champions Trophy.
07:37You have to come for the Champions Trophy.
07:39You have to come for the Champions Trophy.
07:41When Pakistan is back against the wall,
07:43Pakistan shows a good game.
07:45But I think the wall is going back.
07:47Because first you lost in the World Cup
07:49in Zimbabwe, then you lost in the One Day World Cup
07:51in Afghanistan, then you lost
07:53in the USA, now you are losing in the test
07:55from Bangladesh. The wall is going back.
07:57We are not coming forward.
07:59It is true that the wall is going back.
08:01But you should try.
08:03And you can't have a bigger loss
08:05than losing from Bangladesh.
08:07Try to lift your performance.
08:09Shakil made a run in one inning.
08:11He didn't make a run in one inning.
08:13Saim Ayub made a run in one inning.
08:15He didn't make a run in one inning.
08:17I am surprised at Abdullah Shafiq.
08:19He has an average of 44-42.
08:21He has played 500 balls in Sri Lanka twice
08:23and proved that he knows how to stay on the wicket.
08:25The Pakistan team couldn't stand
08:27in a single session.
08:29Abdullah Shafiq hit a shot like this
08:31and got out on 37 runs.
08:33If I was the coach and I would have recommended
08:35I would have either charged him $1000
08:37or get him out of the test match
08:39because of this bad shot.
08:41You have experience.
08:43You have played 200 in Sri Lanka.
08:45You have played 500 balls,
08:47scored 160 and won the test match.
08:49If you are going back,
08:51there is no solution.
08:53I would like to ask you the same thing.
08:55The way Pakistan is batting,
08:57although I think you were losing
08:59your first test match because of your bowling
09:01when you scored 565 runs.
09:03But your batting is a big issue.
09:05No player is reliable.
09:07Your main player, Babar Azam,
09:09is struggling.
09:11We keep hearing
09:13what Babar can do alone.
09:15We have never heard such things
09:17from a big player in another team.
09:19His fans have never said
09:21what he can do alone.
09:23What can he say?
09:25When you have a high management
09:27of the Pakistan cricket board,
09:29they don't have vision,
09:31they don't have capacity
09:33or competency.
09:35Then such decisions are made.
09:37You can't leave everything to the players.
09:39The management you had
09:41was a kind of servant of the players.
09:43They were doing their services.
09:45This is the reason why they couldn't
09:47prepare a backup plan or make a replacement.
09:49If you look at all the cricket boards
09:51in the world,
09:53one is that domestic cricket
09:55is functioning very strongly.
09:57It doesn't change again and again.
09:59Here, it has been destroyed
10:01Number two is that
10:03they never leave the players.
10:05The management of the cricket board
10:07is responsible for everything.
10:09It is responsible for the replacement
10:11plan of the players.
10:13It is also responsible for workload management.
10:15It is also responsible for
10:17where to groom the new talent.
10:19It is also responsible for
10:21which team to give chances.
10:23When you go on a tour,
10:25you have to give equal chances
10:27to your new youngsters.
10:29What has happened in Pakistan cricket
10:31is that the players had
10:33a power.
10:35The cricket board was
10:37incompetent.
10:39All the management
10:41was serving the players.
10:43The players were made so strong
10:45that there was no management left.
10:47They kept serving the players.
10:49They put the interests of Pakistan
10:51in the back foot.
10:53They didn't give a chance to the new players.
10:55They didn't let the new players develop.
10:57They kept playing against
10:59the weak teams.
11:01They kept maintaining their averages.
11:03They kept saying that they were
11:05number one, number two, number three in
11:07bowling and batting.
11:09When a big team used to come,
11:11they used to collapse.
11:13But because they were in the top ranking,
11:15they used to get a projection
11:17on social media.
11:19Then they used to become a part of the team.
11:21The new boys got sidelined
11:23because of domestic problems.
11:25You don't have a spinner.
11:27You don't have a middle-order replacement.
11:29You don't have a fast-baller replacement.
11:31You don't have a captain's replacement.
11:33You don't have an opener's replacement.
11:35The incompetency in the cricket board
11:37gives you a chance to
11:39keep your personal agenda
11:41and benefits in front of you.
11:43You are harming the interests of the country.
11:45This is really happening in Pakistan's cricket.
11:49I completely agree with Rauf.
11:51But this is not the case.
11:53You have never developed
11:55the good performance of domestic cricket.
11:57Ali Usman, a left-arm spinner,
11:59was a top wicket-taker
12:012-3 seasons ago.
12:03Zahid Mahmood, a regular wicket-taker,
12:05was hit in 2-3 test matches
12:07and you discarded him.
12:09Sajid Khan, one of the top 6 left-handers
12:11in Bangladesh,
12:13went to Bangladesh and even bowled out.
12:15He bowled 12 in one test match
12:17and 4 in another.
12:19You completely discard him.
12:21When you don't groom
12:23the performance of domestic cricket,
12:25you don't get a chance to groom
12:27in the A-tours.
12:29If you don't play against Bangladesh,
12:31Zahid Mahmood, Sajid Khan, Noman Ali,
12:33Abrar Ahmed, then you will be discarded.
12:35What should we do about the fear of losing?
12:37This is not today's situation.
12:39But if you talk about losing
12:41to Bangladesh's team,
12:43then you will be discarded.
12:45We are afraid of Zimbabwe.
12:47What is he saying?
12:49He has raised a very valid point.
12:51We have Ali Usman, Abrar,
12:53and Asghar.
12:55There are 5-6 other good spinners
12:57in domestic cricket.
12:59You take him on 1-2 tours
13:01and discard him.
13:03He has been out for a long time.
13:05Let me tell you,
13:07the most basic thing I do
13:09is that there should be no personal interest.
13:11There should be no benefits.
13:13If you have a relative
13:15or a relative,
13:17you can kill the talent
13:19of 8-10 kids in Pakistan.
13:21Then you can
13:23oblige Shadab Khan,
13:25who was running
13:27your spin department
13:29in the High Performance Centre.
13:31You can only oblige Shadab Khan
13:33and his relatives.
13:35All the highly talented kids
13:37in Pakistan
13:39have been out of the system.
13:41You don't get the natural talent
13:43every time.
13:45That's why I keep saying
13:47that nepotism should be eradicated.
13:49We shouldn't let such people
13:51come close to Pakistan's cricket board.
13:53In 2014,
13:55Yashish Shah came.
13:57He became the match winner.
13:59He was the fastest 100,
14:01the fastest 200,
14:03the best bowler.
14:05In 8 years,
14:07we didn't prepare
14:09a replacement for him.
14:11In every match,
14:13he was the best bowler.
14:15He was the best bowler.
14:17He was the best bowler.
14:19He was the best bowler.
14:21He was the best bowler.
14:23He was the best bowler.
14:25He was the best bowler.
14:27He was the best bowler.
14:29He was the best bowler.
14:31He was the best bowler.
14:33He was the best bowler.
14:35He was the best bowler.
14:37He was the best bowler.
14:39He was the best bowler.
14:41He was the best bowler.
14:43He was the best bowler.
14:45He was the best bowler.
14:47He was the best bowler.
14:49He was the best bowler.
14:51He was the best bowler.
14:53He was the best bowler.
14:55He was the best bowler.
14:57He was the best bowler.
14:59He was the best bowler.
15:01He was the best bowler.
15:03He was the best bowler.
15:05He was the best bowler.
15:07He was the best bowler.
15:09He has won two series in Australia.
15:11His ultimate goal is to win a series in South Africa.
15:13His ultimate goal is to win a series in South Africa.
15:15What will he have to learn?
15:17In the last 10 years,
15:19his cricket has gone like this
15:21and our cricket has gone like this.
15:23Rauv will also agree that
15:25he gives importance to domestic cricket.
15:27The Dilip Trophy is going on.
15:29When all the players play,
15:31there is a risk of injury for 3-4 players.
15:33Otherwise, everybody has to play.
15:35How many of our players play?
15:37All the countries
15:39like Australia, England and India
15:41serve the national interest.
15:43You have seen two of them.
15:45Shehryar Iyer and another player.
15:47They violated the domestic.
15:49They cancelled their central contract.
15:51Why are your averages
15:53number one in the ICC rankings?
15:55Why are your averages number one in the ICC rankings?
15:57You play against Bangladesh.
15:59You play against Zimbabwe.
