00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum, hello and welcome to SportsZoom. I am your host Nazeeb Al-Hassan and the nightmare is over.
00:05Pakistan had to face a defeat in the innings and became the first team in the world to score 500 runs and still lose in the innings.
00:15Our sports correspondent Shahid Hashmi is with me from Multan and Kamran Akmal has also joined us.
00:21First of all, Mr. Shahid, I will come to you.
00:23We were expecting this. It was a matter of time.
00:26It was a matter of time. Will it go till lunch or will it go after lunch?
00:30The bad cricket that Pakistan has played overall, what should we talk about?
00:34What will you say?
00:36It is a very bad situation and our test cricket has been badly affected.
00:41But it was visible for the past two or three years.
00:43Former cricketers were saying, analysts were saying, but no attention was given.
00:48And we have been badly affected in the matter of pitches.
00:52We don't know what our strength is. Will we win a test match with a fast bowler? Will we win a test match with a spinner?
00:59Yes, absolutely. All this is going on.
01:01Mr. Shahid, the issue is that if you talk about batting, that problem has been a disease of ours for a long time.
01:09If you talk about bowling, you don't have good red ball bowlers.
01:13If you talk about captains, we are also failing continuously.
01:19Six test matches have been played and Shan Masood is not able to win in his captainship.
01:24Kamran Akmal is also with us. Let's talk to Kamran.
01:27Kamran, what will you say about a very shameful defeat once again?
01:33See, there is a lot of embarrassment.
01:38We are Pakistani and our cricket is not like that.
01:42But what you said in the intro that we were expecting that the English team would do this.
01:50But I wasn't expecting that when the score was 5-56, at least the Pakistani team would lose.
01:55I was expecting that if we don't win, it will be a draw.
02:01But how can you blame the pitch?
02:04Tell me one thing, the test match ended in 4 and a half days.
02:08You should blame your system, your pitch and their mindset.
02:14What kind of mindset are they playing with?
02:16Are they playing to win or to achieve a personal milestone?
02:20The world is playing cricket with Pakistan. They have been winning to win.
02:25They are playing cricket to make a world record.
02:31The series that has been played in Pakistan in the last 2-3 years, the Pakistan team is playing the worst cricket.
02:38Absolutely right.
02:40Mr. Shahid, there is no doubt that we have become the worst team in the world at home.
02:48And whatever is coming is coming in a bad way.
02:52I am surprised that you must have heard what Shan Masood said.
02:57First, let's show you what Shan Masood said and then we will talk about it.
03:02Please tell us your expectations.
03:04We had expected that this pitch will start breaking very soon.
03:08Maybe at the end of day 2 or at the start of day 3.
03:10That's why we tried to extend the first innings as much as we could.
03:16They found a way and they got 20 out.
03:18You can't say that you can't get 20 out on this.
03:20You can't win a test match without getting 20 out.
03:22It's not a simple battle of bat and ball.
03:24We have batting, we have bowling and we have fielding.
03:28Right now, Abrar's condition has been very bad.
03:30He is hospitalized.
03:32Obviously, we will reflect on what mistakes we have made today.
03:34What could have been better.
03:36We will talk to the groundsman.
03:38Mr. Shahid, Shan Masood said that we should learn from England.
03:42So first tell me,
03:44we didn't learn anything from what England did to us in 2022.
03:50You can say that the management was different, the head coach was different, the captain was different.
03:57We don't know what happened at that time.
03:59But we should have learned a lot from that series.
04:03We should have learned a lot from the Bangladesh series.
04:05But we are neither learning nor are we doing homework.
04:09It is absolutely correct that if you take 20 wickets, you win the test match.
04:13England came up with a way to take 20 wickets.
04:15Our bowlers didn't come up with a way.
04:17Our spinner proved to be completely ineffective.
04:19Our fast bowlers have definitely killed.
04:23But if you give them a pitch like this,
04:26what can you expect from them?
04:28They haven't played cricket for 5 days.
04:30They have just played the 10-over World Cup.
04:32It is unfair to them too.
04:34Naseem Shah had bowled out.
04:36Root had hit a good ball.
04:38It went to the umpire's call.
04:40It was very unfortunate for Pakistan.
04:42Then at 186,
04:44when Root was at Naseem Shah's game,
04:46Baba Radham left an easy catch.
04:48After that, 200 more runs were scored on that partnership.
04:50So chances were created.
04:52But on this pitch,
04:55if we read the maths and take the science test,
04:57then the number will be zero.
04:59Absolutely right.
05:01But the question here is that
05:03the pitch was equal for both the teams.
05:05And the thing is that
05:07in the heat of Multan,
05:09England's team should have been worried.
05:11Their wings should have flown.
05:13How did it go the other way around?
05:15They are doing it on a good channel.
05:17They are creating chances.
05:19Our chances came, we couldn't avail.
05:21But they used this condition much better than us.
05:24Every team is doing it.
05:26A team like Bangladesh
05:28is using better conditions.
05:30Their game plan was good.
05:32Their game awareness was good.
05:34Their body language was good.
05:36Their fitness level was good.
05:38The problem that you are facing,
05:40the problem that the bowlers are facing,
05:42what are they doing?
05:44They didn't leave any corner on the ground
05:46where the fielders couldn't run.
05:48They made them run all over the ground.
05:50They didn't bowl on one line.
05:53But this condition worked for them.
05:55This experience worked for them
05:57on such a pitch
05:59that they don't have any excuse.
06:01They know how to fight,
06:03how to win, how to perform.
06:05They have the experience of domestic.
06:0740, 40, 50, 50
06:09matches they have played.
06:11It means that they have played
06:13domestic for 3-4 years.
06:15Their fitness level,
06:17they have played in every condition.
06:19You see, we have had fast bowlers for 4-5 years.
06:22White ball cricketers play.
06:24Red ball cricketers don't play that much.
06:26You can make an estimate
06:28that what is the standard of our bowling.
06:30Our 6 bowlers have completed 100 runs.
06:32Can anyone think
06:34the team that has played
06:36550 runs plus,
06:383 century, 1-150,
06:40it is a test match today.
06:42It means your pitch is not good.
06:44You are playing for Pakistan.
06:46You are playing to win,
06:48you have to come out of your zone.
06:50It's not difficult at all. You're not playing against other players.
06:56You're absolutely right. Mr. Shahid, final thoughts?
06:59We neither played good cricket nor were we prepared for it.
07:03And the future is uncertain. What do you have to say?
07:06Absolutely clueless. You didn't think of a plan.
07:09You didn't think of a strategy.
07:13Yes, tell us.
07:14I want to say something.
07:15Look, Najeeb, until we don't finish the queues,
07:20the conditions aren't good, the pitch isn't good,
07:22no team in the world does what we're talking about.
07:26We, as a media, as an ex-cricketer,
07:29the people of Pakistan, these players,
07:32have to think that we have to out the past pitchers.
07:36If an inexperienced Englander can out,
07:39we can't blame them for a bad pitch.
07:43Thank you so much, Mr. Shahid Hashmi and Mr. Kamran Akmal.
07:47We didn't have much time.
07:48But obviously, a disappointing performance by Pakistan.
07:51And the future is uncertain.
07:54Mr. Najeeb, take care.
