00:00Welcome to SportsZoom. I am your host, Najeeb Ulhasnain.
00:17The Pakistan team is fighting back in the Cape Town Test.
00:21Obviously, in the first inning, the score of South Africa was 615.
00:27In response to that, the Pakistan team was all out on 194.
00:31They had to face a follow-on.
00:33After that, the partnership of the openers with a great 205 runs.
00:37Both our openers played with great approach.
00:41In which, Shahan Masood was out today by 145 runs.
00:46Babur Azamkali was out by 81 runs.
00:49After that, Pakistan was out by 366 runs.
00:52This is the performance so far.
00:54You can see the live footage on the screen.
00:56Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha are present on the wicket.
00:59And with me is the former fast bowler, Abdul Rauf.
01:02Rauf, Assalam-o-Alaikum. Welcome to the show.
01:04Yes, Walaikum-Salam.
01:07Rauf, the first inning of the Pakistan team.
01:11I keep saying that in Test cricket, you have to do well in the first inning.
01:16You have to set a tone.
01:18South Africa was successful in doing that.
01:20The approach with which Pakistan played on 194 runs.
01:23Because of that, we are facing a lot of difficulties.
01:26Although, we are fighting back a lot.
01:28But the team is in trouble. What do you say?
01:34I think that you should have planned well before going.
01:38And you should have read the pitch.
01:40Because getting 615 runs from any team is a lot of runs.
01:44These are especially when you don't know the situation.
01:50Your team's selection is not good.
01:53Then you can't read the pitch properly.
01:55Because the pitch of Capstown's Newland Stadium was for spinners.
02:01And they were genuine fast bowlers.
02:03We didn't have genuine fast bowlers.
02:05All our players were bowling from 120 to 130.
02:08And on top of that, we didn't include any spinners in the team.
02:13Our part-time spinners like Salman Khan.
02:16We got them to challenge us.
02:18And they won 3 wickets in that as well.
02:20First of all, we had a mismanagement.
02:23After that, the captaincy was very poor.
02:27And this is not the first series in which we have seen very little captaincy.
02:30In the last 2 years, we have been whitewashed from Australia.
02:33Then England defeated Pakistan here.
02:35Then Australia defeated us.
02:37Then New Zealand was scared of us.
02:39In the last series against England,
02:41you got a match on the same pitch twice.
02:46So, you have played that series in your favour.
02:50So, there is a big issue of captaincy.
02:52And then you see that your bowlers,
02:54when your pace is from 120 to 130,
02:57you have to maintain a certain line.
02:59And you have to do a lot of things.
03:02If you don't do a lot of things,
03:04then the captain's job is to give them a field setting.
03:07And they trap the batsmen.
03:08But they failed in both the things.
03:10And then your batsmen,
03:12when they are giving 15 runs on one pitch...
03:14Rauf, I think we should dissect this one by one.
03:17First, you talked about bowling.
03:19I think our bowling was very one-dimensional.
03:22Our pacers didn't have that much pace.
03:24You can't bother anyone in Cape Town with a speed of 125-26.
03:29But where you talked about not giving spinners,
03:32you see that even a spinner like Keshav Maharaj
03:34has scored 31 overs in this inning.
03:36He has scored 31 overs.
03:37He hasn't been able to take a wicket.
03:38So, giving spinners...
03:40And along with this, let me tell you
03:42that he doesn't have a good record here.
03:45He has played 6 matches and scored 9 wickets.
03:47So, how will a spinner be successful here?
03:52A spinner will be successful because
03:54you saw that Salman Agha has scored 3 wickets here.
03:58And he kept getting breaks in his bowl.
04:01And whatever bowling he did in a good place,
04:03he got a spot there.
04:05And if Keshav Maharaj comes back after an injury
04:08and he has an issue with his fitness
04:10and he is not able to sustain his speed,
04:12then he has a problem.
04:14So, it doesn't mean that your pitch is not suitable for a spinner.
04:17If you had taken your Nohman Adi with you
04:20and if you had played him in the team,
04:22then your result would have been different.
04:24He wouldn't have scored 100 runs in the 6th or 7th over.
04:28Or a batsman like Jenson wouldn't have scored 62 runs against you.
04:31And even a mountain of 615 wouldn't have been against you.
04:34So, I think the team selection should have been genuine here.
04:37You are talking about him and Jenson.
04:40One is a very strong double century.
04:42There are two centuries.
04:43One is 50.
04:44Keshav Maharaj has scored 40 runs.
04:46It felt like our bowling is a picture of helplessness.
04:50What kind of bowling did you have to do with this speed of 125-26?
04:56Exactly.
04:57And you know that when there is no grass on the pitch
05:00and there is not much bounce in it
05:02then it won't favour the team bowlers.
05:05The last century's pitching was genuinely favourable to our team bowlers.
05:10We produced results there.
05:12We were successful in taking the match in our favour.
05:16But our batsmen didn't bat well there.
05:20Because the South African team bowlers were genuine fast bowlers.
05:24Like Rabada and Jenson are genuine fast bowlers.
05:27They bowl 140 quads.
05:29So, the centurion's pitch was not suitable for them.
05:32It was ideal for our medium pacers.
05:35We should have won the test match there.
05:37But our batsmen couldn't manage it.
05:39This pitch is a genuine fast bowler.
05:42If your pace is 140 plus, then you can survive on this pitch.
05:46Because when there is a reverse swing,
05:48the ball becomes old after 30 overs.
05:50Then you start getting reverse swings there.
05:52You must have seen that when they bowled Mufatta,
05:56he bowled 145 quads.
06:00And one or two of your important batsmen
06:02would take a wicket and leave.
06:04Similarly, our bowlers have a pace of 120-130.
06:08I think they are failing to produce results on this pitch.
06:13Okay, let's talk about the batting.
06:15Because there was nothing special in the pitch.
06:17The way Ryan Rickleton played,
06:19the way Babu Ma played,
06:21the way Jenson played,
06:23there was nothing special in the pitch.
06:25Why was our batting approach like that in the first inning?
06:28It felt like we were getting bored and getting out.
06:31I mean, Rizwan's shot.
06:33Even in T20, before playing such a shot,
06:35a person thinks.
06:36And you know that the score is like a mountain.
06:38Then all your top batsmen know this.
06:40Basically, your stamina is also tested.
06:44Your skill is also tested.
06:45Your technique is also tested.
06:47And...
06:50Yes, yes, continue.
06:54Basically, your test cricket is a test of everything.
06:58Your stamina, your skills, your fitness, your technique,
07:01and your complete tendency,
07:04everything is tested in this test cricket.
07:07And when you have gone for batting for two days,
07:10then after that, your pass quality,
07:13Rabada,
07:14he has taken exactly 300-plus wickets.
07:18He knows that after two or three days,
07:21the fielding team will come for batting after two or three days.
07:24So, how to bowl to them.
07:26He bowled an over pitch.
07:28And our batsmen were in the middle of the road.
07:31And they gave the edge to their Nick in that slip.
07:33And neither was their body capable,
07:35nor was their fitness level like that,
07:37nor was their technique like that.
07:39And in all three things, they are completely shattered.
07:41Because of this, the whole thing was a pass quality.
07:44Despite being a flat pitch,
07:46they dominated us a lot.
07:48They dominated us and outed us at 194.
07:51So, this is the hope of this test cricket.
07:53This is so that you don't get completely shattered.
07:57It is very difficult to hold your hands.
07:59At least you can survive in this environment.
08:01Okay, now I think they should have taken more responsibility.
08:04They know that one battered shot,
08:06Saim Ayub's injury,
08:08will hurt Pakistan a lot.
08:10Let's talk a little bit about that too.
08:12Before that, let me tell you that
08:14Chairman PCP Mohsin Naqvi Ghazafi
08:16to see the arrangements,
08:18obviously, the Champions Trophy is so close.
08:21Along with that, he also said that
08:23Saim Ayub is our assasin.
08:25He will be fully cared for.
08:27What did he say in this regard?
08:29Let's show you.
08:31His flight is in the morning.
08:33He is sending Azhar with him.
08:35The doctors are also in touch from here.
08:37I am not trusting anyone at this time
08:39because he is our asset.
08:41None of us can afford that his treatment is bad.
08:43He has two or three appointments in London.
08:45The doctors are women's sports doctors.
08:47Dr. Munraiz is personally looking after him.
08:49His treatment will not be bad.
08:51Just pray that he gets well soon.
08:53We have to have him.
08:55The tournament is taking place here.
08:57The whole structure is here in 86 days.
08:59In the next 20 days, you will get the whole building.
09:01The remaking of the stadium is being done.
09:03All of you should come.
09:05Rauf, what will you say?
09:07Saim Ayub got an eye.
09:09We used to repeatedly say that
09:11we have found the type of cricketer
09:13who can play in South Africa and Australia.
09:23Rauf, can you hear me?
09:25Yes.
09:27I think Pakistan got an outstanding player
09:29who played in South Africa and Australia
09:31in an amazing way.
09:33After a long time,
09:35Pakistan got a player
09:37who started playing in South Africa
09:39and Australia.
09:41But unfortunately,
09:43he got an eye.
09:45His leg got stuck.
09:47But I didn't get the time
09:49to talk to the chairman.
09:51Azhar Mahmood is the assistant coach.
09:53What is his job?
09:55He should send a doctor or a medical panel
09:57to England with him.
09:59Azhar Mahmood is from England.
10:01When the death matches are over,
10:03he will go back to England.
10:05Where is your medical panel?
10:07If you have a fractured ankle in England,
10:09it is very unfortunate for Pakistan
10:11that the most premier player
10:13of Pakistan was unfit.
10:15And secondly,
10:17if he has a fractured ankle,
10:19he can't do it soon.
10:21I was listening to him.
10:23He was saying that he is from England
10:25and he will do it soon.
10:27If you have a fractured ankle in Pakistan,
10:29there will be a blister.
10:31You need 6-7 weeks
10:33to fix it.
10:35The rehabilitation process
10:37is very important.
10:39Before that,
10:41bring your 2 mega players
10:43Shaheen Afridi,
10:45who had a knee ligament
10:47and Naseem Shah,
10:49who had a rotator cuff.
10:51You didn't let him complete
10:53his rehabilitation process.
10:55Bring him back soon.
10:57His pace was cut from 148 to 146
10:59to 130.
11:01Don't rush it.
11:03Let him rehabilitate properly.
11:05Let him complete his rehabilitation process.
11:07Complete his fitness
11:09and come back to the ground.
11:11The report
11:13has a fracture in the MRI report.
11:15And now it is being said
11:17that 6 weeks of rest.
11:19This means that the test series
11:21against West Indies
11:23and the tri-nation series
11:25have been confirmed.
11:27There are also questions on Champions Trophy.
11:29Like Raouf said,
11:31you can't do it soon.
11:33Abdul Raouf is with us.
11:35Let's take a commercial break.
11:43Glad to have you back
11:45once again to Sports Room
11:47in conversation with Abdul Raouf.
11:49This has become a batting paradise.
11:51You should at least
11:53give a test match
11:55to Rizwan or Salman.
11:57If one of these two
11:59runs 100 runs,
12:01then Pakistan
12:03will be able to survive
12:05Pakistan till lunch.
12:07If Pakistan can survive till lunch,
12:09then maybe Pakistan can save this test match.
12:11This should be their question.
12:13Because this is the last
12:15recognized partnership
12:17that is going on.
12:19After that, your tail enders
12:21or your arounders start.
12:23And the way they are bowling,
12:25they have to survive.
12:27When you already have
12:29a wicked downer,
12:31I think this partnership
12:33is the mainstay of Pakistan's test match.
12:35Absolutely right.
12:37Pakistan is still trailed
12:39by 48 runs.
12:41Pakistan has to take their lead
12:43and after that,
12:45they have to make runs.
12:47They should play as long as Raouf said.
12:49Moving on,
12:51WTC's final has been decided.
12:53As you know, South Africa
12:55was already in the final.
12:57After defeating India in Sydney,
12:59Australia has also confirmed
13:01their final seat.
13:03In June, there will be a competition
13:05between them.
13:07Raouf, how do you see
13:09the competition between
13:11Australia and South Africa?
13:15What are your thoughts?
13:17India had a better chance
13:19because when India
13:21whitewashed Bangladesh,
13:23after that New Zealand
13:25toured India.
13:27It was expected that
13:29the Indian team will defeat
13:31New Zealand.
13:33They will be in Australia
13:35and reach the final of WTC.
13:37But this has not happened.
13:39The Indian team
13:41has been defeated.
13:43After that,
13:45the whole world has changed.
13:47It was very difficult
13:49to win 4 matches in Australia.
13:51Australia qualified
13:533-1.
13:57There is a lot of criticism
13:59on the star players.
14:01Virat Kohli's performance
14:03and his off-stump
14:05and when Rohit Sharma
14:07does not perform,
14:09there is a lot of pressure on him.
14:11In the last match,
14:13Rohit Sharma had to
14:15sideline himself.
14:17What did Rohit Sharma
14:19have to say about this?
14:21What did he say?
14:23Let's listen to him.
14:43Final thoughts?
15:13He is a great batsman.
15:15We always support him.
15:17He is one of the most outstanding
15:19batsmen in India.
15:21But he is a little out of form.
15:23There is a lot of pressure
15:25and a lot of panic.
15:27After the interview,
15:29we discussed a lot.
15:31Thank you very much.
15:33There was a problem with the audio.
15:35Thank you very much.
15:37I hope you liked
15:39today's program.
15:41Take care.
15:43Allah Hafiz.
