00:00A lot of players have dropped after 2-3 matches, big players, but they weren't bigger than cricket.
00:06But unfortunately, our management has made these players bigger than cricket for the past 6-7 years.
00:12No one is going to ask, no one is going to drop, no one is going to do it.
00:16In every match, tell me, in any match, a player has been sitting out for the past 3-4 years.
00:22Exactly, that is...
00:23If a player sits out for a match, if a player sits out for a match, if a player sits out for a match,
00:29then these things will not only be better, but also worse.
00:32It is not good for them, and it is not good for Pakistan's cricket either.
00:35So, Najeeb, tell me, first of all, this death-balling, this is an art.
00:39But I feel that we have fewer artists, or they are clueless as to what to do on that occasion.
00:45So, what seems to be the problem, and this...
00:47You remember, when the T20 World Cup was taking place, and our performance was there,
00:51after that Mohsin Naqvi Sahib said that, bro, now there will be a surgery.
00:55And from that surgery till now, tell me, is this what we have compiled as a squad?
01:01Ashfaq, these are just things to be done.
01:03You know, when time passes, people forget.
01:08At that time, these things happen, whether we do surgery or not.
01:10Everyone's anger cools down in a few days.
01:13You said that our fast-balling is considered very deadly.
01:18There is a big difference in perception and reality.
01:21This is just a perception that our fast-balling is very good.
01:25Otherwise, you can pick any top team in the world and see,
01:28everyone's bowling is better than ours.
01:30We have a very toothless kind of one-dimensional bowling.
01:35The number of times we have been beaten in death-overs,
01:38we have lost three matches to New Zealand in 12 days.
01:41The same mistakes, 110 in one, 123 in another, 113 in another.
01:45This is our last bowling of 10 overs.
01:48So, we don't have any variation, no variety,
01:51nor can we get yorkers done, nothing.
01:54And there is no question of learning from mistakes.
01:57Today, Ashfaq, I am saying in your show,
02:00whenever Pakistan wins against a big team,
02:03and by big team, I mean India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand,
02:07then it will be a bad day for them.
02:09Now, no match-up is made with these teams.
02:12Okay.
02:13That means, there is no other option?
02:16Not at all. I don't think you can select a team
02:19that is equal to someone else and compete against them.
02:22When another team makes a big mistake,
02:24when they have a bad day, you will win that day.
02:27So, just pray for that.
02:28First, you do it to win for yourself,
02:30now you do it to play bad for the other team as well.
