1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,160
Pakistani cricket fans, are you 
still alive? 

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,200
Are you breathing? 
Can you check your pulse? 

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,080
Do you guys have blood pressure 
issues? 

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,680
There are medic there is 
medication for the condition 

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,600
that you have, but there is no 
medication for the love of 

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,840
Pakistan cricket and no 
medication for the love of large

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,360
urology. 
Now probably one of the most 

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,400
important Pakistanis to ever 
live in the history of the 

9
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,120
country, one of the most 
important people suddenly to me.

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,840
I have never met him, but now if
I do, I will have to kiss his 

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,160
hand and hug him and thank him 
for all the wonderful positive 

12
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:36,320
mental health issues that he and
the team has given me. 

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,520
Have you seen the live? 
If you're coming straight from 

14
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,160
the live, you know exactly what 
happened, what our immediate 

15
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:44,240
reactions was. 
If you were on the Instagram 

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,800
Live right after you saw our raw
emotions, if you were on 

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,520
Twitter, if you are on any part 
of social media and you follow 

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,320
us, you know what our reactions 
were. 

19
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,440
We're going to go in depth. 
It's been about 18 hours since 

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,440
the mayhem, since the chaos and 
with me as always, my brother, 

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,240
my Co host, my fellow 
commentator on the live Bashar 

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,600
Saeed. 
Bashar, welcome to the World 

23
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,360
Cup. 
When Pakistan boycotted the game

24
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,200
against India, the conversation 
was what does Pakistan even 

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,760
bring to the World Cup? 
Pakistan is not even relevant to

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,240
world cricket. 
This is what Pakistan brings. 

27
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,640
A simple match, a World Cup 
opener, Pakistan against 

28
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,040
Netherlands and Pakistan makes a
meal out of it. 

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,440
It gives people something to 
watch for. 

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,320
I mean, if you watched the last 
three overs of this match, you 

31
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:36,840
would know why we watch Pakistan
cricket. 

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,640
I mean, it's because Pakistan 
cricket is unpredictable. 

33
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,040
We're mercurial. 
We don't know which Pakistan 

34
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,560
went on about the day this game 
could have gone S Pakistan could

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,880
have lost and this could have 
been. 

36
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,000
The the quickest. 
World Cup exit in the history of

37
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,920
World Cups a. 180 minutes in and
out. 

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,240
Thank you for coming to the 
World Cup, man, Lots to discuss.

39
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,400
Before we do that, we have to 
give a shout out to our 

40
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,440
wonderful patrons and our 
Patreon members. 

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,840
Shout out to the executive 
producers, Abdullah with NTR, 

42
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,440
you know, genuine day winners. 
And then we got the rest of the 

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,000
lineup. 
We got the group chat, we got 

44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,960
the inner circle all rooting for
us. 

45
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,240
If you guys want to be a part of
the group chat, The group chat 

46
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,240
was lit by the way, which I 
don't know if you've sent when 

47
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,480
you open the group chat after 
the live, how many messages 

48
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,720
unread were there I over 500. 
Over 100 easily. 

49
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,040
I just went back and I read the 
group chat you did and I started

50
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,160
reading it after bobber got out 
and you could feel the shift in 

51
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,480
the energy in the group chat. 
It went from yo the World Cup is

52
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,120
over yo kick Salman out. 
Mike has since the coaching 

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,120
career is done. 
Simon was an ex captain. 

54
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,520
Do you want to take names or no?
Bobber this dad like we're 

55
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,120
screwed. 
This is horrible. 

56
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,560
I was looking forward to this 
and then when Fahima she comes 

57
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,760
into bat, the change in the 
energy. 

58
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,400
There I just saw all caps for 
like 5 ten straight minutes on 

59
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,560
the group chat. 
Again, a wonderful place to be 

60
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,320
if you're a cricket fan. 
The group chat is also one of 

61
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,680
the tiers of our Patreon Patreon
membership. 

62
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,480
Definitely check it out. 
It is priced a little higher, 

63
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,600
but it is definitely worth it if
you guys want to at least check 

64
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,600
it out. 
It's a good time to get into the

65
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,000
group chat and see what it's all
about. 

66
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,920
You guys can definitely do that.
And don't forget to hit like and

67
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:16,280
subscribe as well. 
This is the time to build an 

68
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,680
audience. 
We're talking to a lot of new 

69
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,440
people here, people who haven't 
heard us before. 

70
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,680
And you know, if that's the 
case, then welcome to Backward 

71
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,760
Appointment. 
Yeah, for new people, he's the 

72
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,920
the grey jacket guy and the 
blue. 

73
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,240
Shirt guy. 
No, one of them are. 

74
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,840
Now some of our Indian friends 
don't, again, don't try to know 

75
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,360
our names. 
And when that's the case, they 

76
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,520
just go right hand guy and left 
hand guy too. 

77
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,400
Like they're just making it even
more general. 

78
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,640
Suddenly we're just going to be 
Guy, that guy and that guy. 

79
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,680
It's going to be a fun time, 
Bashar. 

80
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,280
We're going to be covering 2 
games today. 

81
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,200
The middle game also happened 
and we will acknowledge that W 

82
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,760
Indies beat Scotland. 
Shout out to Crabbean Cricket 

83
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,760
Podcast, you know Mash having a 
good day. 

84
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,400
I saw his tweet. 
We're so back. 

85
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,800
West Indies are back. 
Mash was on the live. 

86
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,720
I don't know if it was a support
thing. 

87
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,760
Crabbean Cricket Podcast was on 
our live. 

88
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Again, I don't know if it was a 
support thing or if it was just 

89
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,040
there to enjoy the moment. 
At one more point we had over 

90
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,880
300 to 400 people watching us 
meltdown and then that. 

91
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,640
Was the point where Pakistan was
losing. 

92
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,080
Yes, and then boxing won. 
They all went away. 

93
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,200
Wish you the best guys. 
I do wish you guys had stayed 

94
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,280
till the end and watched us 
react to what Pakistan can be. 

95
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,760
Anyways, we'll get into the 
game. 

96
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,840
We have had some sleep in our 
bodies. 

97
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,120
The caffeine is drained out. 
No more Red Bulls. 

98
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,720
I think we'll have a more 
balanced take. 

99
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,680
I have a lot of bones to pick 
with this Pakistan side. 

100
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,400
I have a lot of questions and I 
have answers to some of those 

101
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,000
questions and we'll we'll go 
into AD but I am not at all, not

102
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,920
even 1% satisfied with what I 
saw. 

103
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,640
I I'm not happy with the win. 
You know, boxing cricket finally

104
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,800
broke for Ganpati. 
Man cried tears on the live. 

105
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,440
I was this close to doing it on 
the other side. 

106
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,560
If Pakistan had lost, I think it
would have been, we would have 

107
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,360
you and I would have been having
a very different difficult 

108
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,760
conversation together on how to 
continue this if if we even want

109
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,200
to. 
And I, I really want to get into

110
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,000
it and get into all the places 
where Pakistan faltered and how 

111
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,800
we got to where we got Bashar. 
But please Matt summary on your 

112
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,320
table. 
Let's start with a toss. 

113
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,680
So Allah wins a toss and we've 
talked about this last podcast 

114
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,280
where Allah is actually quite a 
lucky captain because now he's 

115
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:26,920
won 31 of 44 tosses. 
So he has nearly 71% win rate as

116
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,880
a captain for at the tosses. 
And so he decides to bowl 1st 

117
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,320
and he says that there's a lot 
of grass on the pitch now those.

118
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,480
Quotes were I've never seen this
much grass since Sri Lanka. 

119
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,760
Yeah, Sri Lanka grasp doesn't 
really go hand in hand. 

120
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,160
Again, a lot of people were 
saying that the expectation that

121
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,880
the boxing management and the 
boxing captain had was that we 

122
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,360
will see a lot of spin, a lot of
turn, a lot of low sticky 

123
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,440
wickets. 
And I mean, a lot of the Contra 

124
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,680
argument that I was reading 
online was like, hey, the ICC is

125
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,240
actually managing this 
tournament and I don't think 

126
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,000
you're going to see 140 par. 
Why? 

127
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,720
Don't you name Sukland Mustock 
because Sukland Mustock said 

128
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,280
BCCI equals ICC and that's why 
they weren't giving Pakistan. 

129
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,160
Spinning conditions, so I am not
Privy to this conversation so I 

130
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,920
will not be assuming that. 
I know that Saki said that but 

131
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,280
if Saki said that Saki has some 
great Pakistanis love conspiracy

132
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:14,960
theorists. 
The last ODI World Cup, they 

133
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,840
were like Shami had a chip in 
the ball. 

134
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,880
Yeah, there's no, Hassan said 
that. 

135
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,160
The youngest Test player in 
history. 

136
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,120
And and, and no, no wonder he 
didn't have a long career after 

137
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,000
that. 
So Pakistan Bowl first I think 

138
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,160
is a good call because firstly 
Allah said that there was some 

139
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,120
moisture on the pitch, there was
some grass, there was some 

140
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,560
overcast conditions. 
They wanted to use the 

141
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,400
conditions upfront. 
And secondly, when there's rain 

142
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,400
on the forecast, it's always 
good to chase because you know 

143
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,640
what score to be chased with the
DLS par score is going to be 

144
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:45,920
pause. 
Now, do you think the 

145
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,680
management, SN and Co and 
Hanibai and everybody? 

146
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,280
Saw a little bit of grass on the
pitch, panicked and played three

147
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:56,080
Pacers a little bit. 
I think Pakistan whenever they 

148
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,040
see grass, they do panic a 
little bit, even though I think 

149
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,320
like the the pitch underneath 
the grass is still the same. 

150
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,920
Yeah, seems like. 
So a little bit of grass here 

151
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,000
and there doesn't make a massive
difference. 

152
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,360
I can't believe. 
They played three Pacers, but 

153
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,120
when all we were hearing it was 
spinner, spinner, spinner, 

154
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,440
spinners, yeah, Mike in the team
announcement press conference 

155
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,240
that they would likely play 2 
Pacers, the second one being 

156
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,080
Fahim Ashraf and see and also 
then the crazy thing then 

157
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,360
becomes is OK, you saw a bit of 
grass, you saw a little bit of 

158
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,760
seams, a sea movement up front 
as well. 

159
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,520
Never gave Fahim the ball, not 
not even an over. 

160
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,840
That's where I'm like maybe the 
the decision was a bit panicked 

161
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,480
and you just wanted to go with 
an extra pacer. 

162
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,920
I get that this month out of K 
would have been lethal though. 

163
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,120
Yeah, they just played it safe, 
I think. 

164
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,360
But I think I've never checked a
forecast of a city as bad as I 

165
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,520
did for Colombo the last three 
days. 

166
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,400
You and me together. 
I'm checking different apps, I'm

167
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,440
going online, I'm checking what 
the the meteorologist is saying 

168
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,680
about Colombo weather. 
We had some friends on in the 

169
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,160
city. 
I was messaging them as well. 

170
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,480
But luckily we got a full game 
and there is no rain nearby. 

171
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,640
Again, I spent some time in 
Malaysia and I do understand the

172
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,160
nature of coastal island 
countries like that. 

173
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,120
I mean, you can never actually 
predict exactly what's going to 

174
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,120
happen. 
Sometimes it says 100% raining 

175
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,960
in your city, but it's like the 
city's big enough that it might 

176
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,800
be raining at a different part 
of the island, and it completely

177
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,680
misses you and you get complete 
sunshine throughout. 

178
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,600
So Sri Lankan games are fickle 
like that. 

179
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,520
And it's good to pay attention 
to it. 

180
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,120
But don't, you know, tie your 
hopes to it? 

181
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,160
I had the same experience in 
Lisbon in November where I was 

182
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,120
in the city. 
I was checking the forecast and 

183
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,960
it said it was sunny, but I was 
literally soaked in rain. 

184
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,840
You were drenched. 
I'm like, bro, it's raining on 

185
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,679
me right now and you're saying 
it's clear? 

186
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,400
Anyway, I never, never trust 
that. 

187
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,200
So Bakasan when they pick 3 
Pacers, they pick Salman Mirza 

188
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,640
ahead of an Aseem shop and I 
think the reasoning behind that 

189
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,280
is that Netherlands had 11 
right-handed batters and 

190
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,120
historically right-handed 
batters struggle against left 

191
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,600
arm bowlers. 
So that reasoning made sense. 

192
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,640
It was my first time seeing 
Salman Mirza play a real 

193
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,200
pressure match. 
He's making his World Cup debut.

194
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,560
How did you? 
What did you think of his World 

195
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:05,960
Cup debut? 
I thought in the power play he 

196
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,360
bowled better than our premium 
bowler Shaheen Avidi. 

197
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:10,480
I think he bowled with his 
brains. 

198
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,360
He used the variations really 
well. 

199
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,800
He bowled good lines and good 
lengths. 

200
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,240
I thought Shaheen, on the other 
hand, he looked a little too 

201
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,600
greedy, was bowling more with 
his emotions than with logic. 

202
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:23,840
And that's the issue that I've 
had with Shaheen for a while. 

203
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,960
The first ball that he 
delivered, it was off radar. 

204
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,080
It's swinging down Lakeside and 
the batter, the opener, he knew 

205
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,000
what Shaheen is going to do. 
He's going to ball into a New 

206
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,680
Yorker. 
So he danced down the track, 

207
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,920
messed up Shaheen's length and 
hit him for a boundary. 

208
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,960
Yeah, Shaheen, man, it's, it's 
tough because there's a couple 

209
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,680
of people that I, I do pinpoint.
To. 

210
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,880
For the reason for the whole 
debacle of the end of this game,

211
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,240
and I think Shine is one of 
them. 

212
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,720
Barbara is the second person. 
I think Shine is playing his 

213
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,400
fourth T Tony I World Cup, his 
fifth World Cup in general or 

214
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:04,240
6th World Cup in general. 
This is not the way that a 

215
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,760
senior statesman performs in a 
crunch match like this. 

216
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,760
I think a lot of the bowling and
a lot of the batting and it's 

217
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,120
the same culprit, which I, if I 
give you the names that I have 

218
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,480
suspect intention from, you will
hear the same names that we've 

219
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:19,080
been hearing for the past five, 
seven years. 

220
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,360
It's the Shaheens, the Babers, 
the Shahabs, the Nawaz of your, 

221
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,560
of the, of your world that are 
just not able to get ahead of 

222
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,840
themselves and are treating this
game a little bit too casually. 

223
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,760
And there are moments of grace 
for Shahab and Nawaz. 

224
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,360
I, we can talk about that, but 
Shaheen and, and, and Baba just 

225
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,480
felt like, I felt like they were
playing an SNGPL versus BIA game

226
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,360
at this point. 
Like there was a very casual, 

227
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:46,480
the bowling was off radar, there
was no plan signing comes in for

228
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,480
his second over in the power 
play after he goes and hits, 

229
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,880
gets hit for 9 for one in the 
first over and the first 

230
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,440
delivery he bowls is a off 
cutter. 

231
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,880
Like you have to set these 
deliveries up, you have to give 

232
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,280
them a really quick one and then
throw them off with the off 

233
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,720
cutter. 
If you just come in and bowl a 

234
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,840
straight up off cutter and 
that'll just be, you know, the 

235
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,560
Bassman is ready for any kind of
variation at that. 

236
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:06,840
Point and that next ball he 
bowled was an incident Yorker, 

237
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,960
sort of like how dare you hit me
for a boundary. 

238
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,400
I'm going to bowl you a fast 
Yorker, get you bowled out. 

239
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,040
Exactly. 
And I think any other baller 

240
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,040
would be like, OK, this pitch is
kind of sticking a little bit. 

241
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,640
The ball that's going across 
with the angle, it's getting 

242
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,760
good carrying bounce. 
Might as well just ball back of 

243
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,640
a length, top of a stump and 
stick to good lines in length. 

244
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,440
Wait for them to make a mistake.
It's I think it's their stat 

245
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,040
that even we've propagated so 
many times with 25 wickets in 

246
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,440
the first over in T20 is or like
something like that, right? 

247
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,120
25, yeah, 25. 
It's just like, I get it. 

248
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,600
That's an exceptional, 
exceptional stat. 

249
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,600
And I'm glad that, you know, he 
Shaheen is able to give those 

250
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,840
breakthroughs. 
But what's more important is how

251
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,840
many wickets do you take in the 
total power play that you ball? 

252
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,040
It's not just about the first 
over, it's about the 1st and 2nd

253
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,400
over and 3rd over if need be. 
And so Shaheen needs to temper 

254
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,560
his bowling according to the 
whole power play. 

255
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:55,240
And now there's the first six 
deliveries that he comes to 

256
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,720
bowl. 
I think he's getting carried 

257
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,040
away with that. 
And this is a problem that he's 

258
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,920
had since 2022, like 2021, he 
had the same issues again. 

259
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,680
He was newer. 
He had more pace, a little bit 

260
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:06,840
more accuracy, a little bit more
WIP in his action. 

261
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,440
And so he could get away with a 
lot of these, you know, in order

262
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,280
to do we say fungaria and not 
even just get away get positive 

263
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,840
results getting out getting 
Rahul out like those are 

264
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,480
amazing, amazing stats and I 
mean amazing achievements in the

265
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,880
T20 World Cup in 2021. 
But that sort of same reflection

266
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,640
is not, cannot be control C, 
control V in this position only 

267
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,400
because he's been playing 
cricket for so long and people 

268
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,800
know exactly what he like. 
Netherlands openers who may have

269
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,760
been facing Shine for the first 
time, knew exactly what he was 

270
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,440
going to do that the left the 
leg cleared because they knew he

271
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,480
was going to insert it in their 
arc and he just went for it 

272
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,360
levitated. 
Additional he needs plans ABC 

273
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,120
Plan A is if it swings, you go 
full. 

274
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,880
If it does not swing, I'm going 
to pull the length back, ball 

275
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,040
good, good length on stumps or 
just challenge the outside edge.

276
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,400
We're not seeing Shaheen use 
that Plan B quite effectively. 

277
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,920
He went for 23 runs in his first
two overs in the power play on 

278
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:05,120
the ground where 15160 was a 
power score and Netherlands was 

279
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,360
already off to a flyer. 
If it wasn't for Salman Mirza 

280
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,640
getting that wicket and we'll 
get to that catch that Swan Khan

281
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,160
took, which was I think an 
incredible catch. 

282
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,080
We've been quite critical of 
Swan Khan and his keeping his 

283
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,960
batting. 
We'll get to his batting, but 

284
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,280
it's keeping the catch he took 
today was basically in the 

285
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,400
middle of four fielders. 
Salman Mirza was there, Baba was

286
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,760
there, I think car was here as 
well. 

287
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,040
And Swan Han's like yo, hold up,
I'm going to go in. 

288
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,800
He takes a catch, dives for it, 
and gets blocked on the first 

289
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,520
breakthrough. 
Building in general I think was 

290
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,560
pretty good except for that 
couple of Slimai Mirza lapses on

291
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:37,960
fine leg or third man. 
Apart from that, we saw a relay 

292
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,560
catch between Shaheen and 
Barber. 

293
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:41,440
Who would have thought two years
ago that we would be seeing this

294
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,160
sentence together? 
Bobber proving himself to be one

295
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,760
of the best long off fielder 
like he's just a guaranteed pick

296
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,520
there. 
The ball gets guy there. 

297
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,240
You you know that bobber going 
to pouch that reverse cups in in

298
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,560
a couple of different occasions 
as well against Australia. 

299
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,520
So I'm I'm pretty much happy 
with the field positions. 

300
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,640
You know, even in at backward 
point time had an opportunity to

301
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,680
hit a single stump from backward
point and he was like marginally

302
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:06,160
close like the you know what 
they say the the skin of your 

303
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,920
teeth. 
That's how close it was from 

304
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,640
hitting the bales and those type
of efforts. 

305
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,640
I really have to come in to 
fielding in general, except for 

306
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,080
a few lapses here and there. 
And Salman Razz as notorious 

307
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,000
Salman, Razzan Nassim are 
notorious to be bad fielders. 

308
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,640
Even a broader A broader's 
gotten better, but they're still

309
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,080
hiding him behind the stumps. 
Of course. 

310
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,720
And you know, I, I know that 
Mike Hessen has said many times 

311
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,720
that fielding is one of the most
important things to him. 

312
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,920
He's building an 11. 
But they are a little bit of 

313
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,600
lapse, a few lapses here and 
there in in that department. 

314
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,440
Yeah, Pakistan. 
Then bring on Mom and the boss, 

315
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,480
which I thought was a a decent 
move because left armor spin 

316
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,560
against right-handed bats spin. 
That's also a good match up. 

317
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,640
And that's when we saw the the 
relay cat that you mentioned 

318
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,800
really good awareness by Bob. 
We're also to just come towards 

319
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,920
the boundary and if there is a 
chance of a relay, to cut that. 

320
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,560
Never thought I'd see Box and 
actually execute successfully a 

321
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,840
cast like that. 
Shout out to the fielders. 

322
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,440
Like I mean, there is definitely
some field work being been done 

323
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,560
with to these guys that they 
have that wherewithal that hey, 

324
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,120
Barbara's is like I'm going to 
I'm definitely overrunning this 

325
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,960
delivery. 
But if I can catch it and throw 

326
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,000
it back before I step in, there 
might be a chance for somebody 

327
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,880
else long on to come in. 
And just like having those two 

328
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,160
run ticket like it was just a 
very good coordinated, 

329
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,880
communicated execution and 
prompts to them like that. 

330
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,040
You know, we'll, we'll give them
their start, their flowers when 

331
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,880
they need it. 
Netherlands were 50 for two in 

332
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,680
the power play. 
In my opinion, when I saw that, 

333
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,680
I was like, that's a bit too 
high, that's a bit too high. 8 

334
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,600
to 10 runs too high. 
They kept losing wickets but 

335
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,160
they weren't stopping the run 
scoring. 

336
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,280
They were still hitting at least
one boundary and over getting 

337
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,040
singles and double s and and 
what was impressive for me was 

338
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,640
the way they were playing spin. 
And there was a a segment by 

339
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,000
that you see where they were 
showing the sheer amount of 

340
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,800
sweep shots that Netherlands was
spring. 

341
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,800
And I think if you compare their
sweep shots versus our sweep 

342
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,480
shots, they probably paid played
way more sweep shots than we 

343
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,480
did. 
I don't think we played a sweep 

344
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,920
shot. 
I think Farhan hit a slog sweep,

345
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,760
but I don't think you can 
consider that to be a sweep. 

346
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:55,720
Shot. 
Yeah, actually, you might 

347
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,400
actually be right. 
I'm trying to think if anybody 

348
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,400
else did play anything. 
Square the wicket. 

349
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:01,880
I think you're wrong. 
We're right. 

350
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,480
We didn't like all guys. 
Probably the only one who 

351
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,960
actually plays a sleep shot 
successfully and goes for the 

352
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,520
maximum for that. 
And he was only there for a 

353
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,040
delivery. 
So I don't think anybody 

354
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,160
properly executed it. 
I feel like Pakistan, we'll talk

355
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,080
about it. 
When we could talk about 

356
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,560
Pakistan's chase, they were just
looking at hitting it down the 

357
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,000
ground in the V and in front of 
square. 

358
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,400
So when you do that, you got to 
hit for power and then you can 

359
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,040
talk about how that leads to 
issues. 

360
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,640
In the seventh, it was at the 
8th over where Abrar gets a 

361
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,560
wicket. 
And what was hilarious is, and 

362
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,200
you were told after this because
you were on the live stream that

363
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,200
Vakar Yunus was on the comms and
Vakar Yunus says Abrar huck is 

364
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,200
the wicket taker. 
And so he he said Abrar Hammad 

365
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,200
is Abrar Huck. 
I mean, this is classic Vicki, 

366
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,920
classic Vas and wiki. 
And you know, if it was either 

367
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,960
one of them saying that, I would
have been like, yeah, that makes

368
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,720
complete sense. 
You know what's funny? 

369
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,960
This is where I think the 
Pakistan meme game is absolutely

370
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,760
crazy. 
Within minutes of of of wiki by 

371
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,400
saying that the meme's already 
on Twitter and Instagram just 

372
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:07,440
rolling with the router, like 
singing to and they memed abroad

373
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,599
Hemat's face on it. 
Like this is this is like we're 

374
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:11,079
too quick. 
We're too quick. 

375
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,280
Wiki by is too good. 
Even if this is a mental lapse. 

376
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,880
Give more to me. 
But you know what Aruj? 

377
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,280
You can never expect this from 
Aruj. 

378
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,240
Aruj is just too classy for this
and. 

379
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,440
So the four boxing commentators 
in this World Cup are Misaja 

380
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,000
Wasim Akram, Vakar Yunus and 
Basil Khan. 

381
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,600
Rami Raja, who made an extremely
rude and patronizing comment to 

382
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,520
the losing captain Scott Edwards
in the post night presentation 

383
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,240
ceremony, saying that was thank 
you for making entertaining 

384
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,120
entertaining. 
Like, oh, that's all you're here

385
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,520
to do is to make give us a fun 
match. 

386
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:42,360
And I'm like, these guys are 
here to win. 

387
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:45,640
Like in their heads, Netherlands
has 100% opportunity to win this

388
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,440
World Cup. 
I don't know, like a little bit 

389
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,360
of professionalism, a little bit
less, less sarcasm from these 

390
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:53,080
guys and you could actually get 
pretty good amount of 

391
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,120
commentary. 
But that's tough, Netherlands. 

392
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:58,240
Was actually on a pretty good 
run and up until the 15th over 

393
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,200
they were around 1:27 for four 
and at that point their 

394
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,200
projected score was around 
16170. 

395
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,400
If they had gone to that like 
around 8 or 9 and over and that 

396
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,680
could have been that totaled the
box and would have really 

397
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:16,320
struggled to chase, it was 
likely that they lost about 6 

398
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,760
wickets for 20 runs. 
They had a collapse. 

399
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,480
They were bowled out for not 
even like the the 20 overs they 

400
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,920
played. 
Yep, this is again coming back 

401
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,720
to great bowling and great 
captaincy from Ava near the last

402
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,680
10 overs. 
Now this is interesting. 

403
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,280
So they had two water breaks in 
this match. 

404
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,720
I think this is going to be the 
case in the entire tournament. 2

405
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,600
water breaks at six overs and at
14 overs that kind of divides 

406
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,200
the innings to one third, one 
third, one third. 

407
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,000
And that's where you saw Hassan 
come in or send a message in. 

408
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,400
And I think right after that, 
that 10 over mark is where I 

409
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,120
felt like Agha started like 
really putting in the squeeze, 

410
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:52,920
getting your bowlers to really 
lock in. 

411
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,160
And that's that's also where I 
saw Shaheen lock in. 

412
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,840
He had he gave five runs away in
in his third over with a wicket 

413
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,000
as well. 
Four dots in that over. 

414
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,160
And so the genius Masters work, 
in my opinion. 

415
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,280
During the middle end of the 
innings was Saman Laga bringing 

416
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,080
in Simon Ayub. 
The number one all rounder 

417
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,920
hadn't ballen over until the 
17th over of the match. 

418
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,720
Yes, again, this is, I feel like
Agha at this point was like, oh,

419
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,600
we kind of misread the pitch and
even though it is a bit grassy, 

420
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,680
it's still the same Sri Lankan 
pitch that we know of. 

421
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
I want to see what Simon can do 
here. 

422
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,480
If he gives me a wicket here for
10 runs or eight runs, he can 

423
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,720
really damage the momentum. 
You know what he does? 

424
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,400
He comes in and gives you 2 
wickets for seven. 

425
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,720
Yeah, that point we were 
talking. 

426
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,200
Should Sam ball another over? 
Yes, yes, we were generally 

427
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,920
talking about that and Sam Mayu,
the man that he is proven again 

428
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,160
with the bat and the ball in the
field. 

429
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,560
Just an all around performance 
really coming into his own in 

430
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,240
the past couple of weeks, past 
couple of months. 

431
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,600
I would say, and I love this Sam
Mayu that we were promised his 

432
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,040
arrival is here. 
I I think Ava has seen what Sam 

433
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,160
can do again on a on a bigger 
stage. 

434
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,120
This is the latest I believe Sam
has ever bowled in a world in a 

435
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:59,120
in a 20 match. 
And they just proved that time 

436
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,280
is, you know, we're talking 
about 3 dimensional bowlers, 

437
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,120
three phase bowlers. 
He can come in and give you a 

438
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:05,800
couple of overs anywhere. 
He might get hit, he might get 

439
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,520
whipped, or he might come in and
give you 2 or 7 and one over. 

440
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,320
Yeah, it's crazy Pakistan 
actually is spoiled with so many

441
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,200
bolting options that play much 
of their any ball. 

442
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:17,600
Sime only balled one over and 
Pakistan luckily were able to 

443
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,240
restrict Netherlands for 1:47. 
This could have been a lot 

444
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,920
uglier if they had scored even 
10 or 15 more runs, which were 

445
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,680
they were on track to scoring. 
I think I want to give a shout 

446
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,240
out to Sylmar Mirza who was 
quite impressive on his welcome 

447
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,320
debut. 
His feeling does need a lot of 

448
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:38,760
help because he there was a 
really there was a shot on 

449
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:41,520
Schlaf's bowling. 
It went to short third. 

450
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,440
He sort of overran it. 
It went for a boundary. 

451
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,880
And this is not the first time 
I've seen him do a fielding 

452
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,200
lapse. 
There is a game in Lahore where 

453
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,320
he was also at like short fine 
leg and the ball went between 

454
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,520
his legs nutmeg and he's also 
dropped catches. 

455
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,000
So his fielding is definitely a 
liability. 

456
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,040
He needs to work a lot harder on
that because at this level you 

457
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,760
can't afford to drop a catch or 
have a miss field in a crunch 

458
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,240
situation. 
And what I've noticed is when 

459
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,160
you're having a bad field day, 
the ball just follows you. 

460
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,880
This was a rule that our coach 
told us back when you're playing

461
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,880
cricket in school is like when 
you have a bad field day, you 

462
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,000
cannot hide a bad fielder 
anywhere in the field because 

463
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,840
the ball will find him again and
again and again many times. 

464
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,960
And that this is what happened 
to him in this field. 

465
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,640
Again, this is, I feel like, I 
feel like the lads were not 

466
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,040
ready. 
I feel like they were rusty. 

467
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,560
Everybody was a bit casual. 
Everybody was just a bit, it's 

468
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,040
like, you know, walking in, 
lounging in the field. 

469
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,360
Couple of incidents was Farhan 
not diving for the ball? 

470
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:36,600
Did you see that? 
I did see that. 

471
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,400
I didn't notice that. 
I think it was a bar or Chalab 

472
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:44,040
delivery where he was a little 
bit worried, upset, I would say 

473
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,680
lack of effort from the feeling.
Let's talk about Shalab now that

474
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,280
I've mentioned him. 4 for 26, no
wickets. 

475
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,400
He was the one who kind of had 
that mishap happened to him by 

476
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,680
someone, Marissa, where he goes 
for four and then there's a 

477
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,520
single also stolen. 
So, you know, a little bit 

478
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,600
unlucky there. 
Also, Shalab drops a catch onto 

479
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,080
his own bowling. 
Honestly, I, I, I actually 

480
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,400
reached out to catch those like 
9 out of 10 times. 

481
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,120
So it's really insane that he 
was able to drop. 

482
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:11,440
That. 
That's a Dolly for Shadab 

483
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,720
Standard. 
I I agree and it was, you know, 

484
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,000
apart from that, I think if you 
add those mistakes in, if things

485
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,240
go a little bit in his favour, 
at least that ball pretty well. 

486
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:21,960
I agree with you. 
I think I because you watched 

487
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,400
his spell, blah, blah ball, 
there wasn't a lot of bad balls.

488
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,240
No, maybe a little too full 
sometimes. 

489
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,400
Sometimes, yeah, that's about 
that. 

490
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,600
We saw the past couple of years 
where he's balling short stuff, 

491
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,680
he's balling Y, he's balling 
full tosses. 

492
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,560
We didn't see that Shadab in 
this match. 

493
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,000
I think we saw a lot more 
control. 

494
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,960
His googlies were landing in the
right area, which was like right

495
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,480
outside of off stamp a little 
bit on good lane. 

496
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,240
So the ball turns in, gets the 
batter the opportunity to go for

497
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,920
the back foot and maybe hit him 
on the pad or bold him or even 

498
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,440
just cramps him up for space. 
So I was just really happy with 

499
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,200
the way that Shadab bold in his 
I mean, he went record list, but

500
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,040
if he gives me. 
That average, that economy and 

501
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,760
gets me a couple of wickets. 
I think he'll be lethal. 

502
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,240
It wasn't Nawaz's day because he
went for 38 in his four overs. 

503
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,360
First couple of overs he did 
take a couple of wickets but I 

504
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:04,040
think. 
He was bowling a little like at 

505
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,760
least 2 bad balls in his overs, 
like they were going down leg 

506
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,680
side or they were going too much
on the off side. 

507
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,680
And and that's where Netherlands
was like really using the sweep 

508
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,240
shot. 
And I feel like Nawaz, as good 

509
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,360
of a bowler that he has, should 
have realized that the more that

510
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:18,480
he's drifting towards middle 
leg, the more that he's being 

511
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,320
exposed to that fine leg, square
leg fielding position. 

512
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:26,000
And I feel like, again, casual, 
lethargic, lazy, whatever word 

513
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,240
you want to put in from, from 
from our main boulders. 

514
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,800
I'm talking about the Shaheens 
and Nawaz's of the world where 

515
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,560
they know that if the opposition
is any opposition, doesn't have 

516
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,320
to be Netherlands, but any 
opposition when they get you at 

517
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,200
like that, there always has to 
be a counterpoint. 

518
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:41,680
And I feel like they just were 
like, why should I use the 

519
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,360
counterpoint? 
It's Netherlands in front of me.

520
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,960
And that kind of almost came to 
bite them. 

521
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,920
We have learned nothing from 
Zimbabwe and USA, by the way. 

522
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,440
Nothing. 
And the fans have learned too 

523
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,200
much. 
Bogathon on their pursuit of 

524
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,200
148. 
We're off to a a good start. 

525
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,920
Credits to Simon U who looked to
finally come out and show the 

526
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,600
world what talent that he has. 
He was a total flop in the last 

527
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,360
two in the World Cup. 
He was a flop in the Asia Cup 

528
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,280
and now he was coming here in 
this two in the World Cup as a 

529
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,680
more seasoned player. 
He he's played around 60 matches

530
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,480
in 229. 
Second, while he faced went for 

531
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,720
six down mid along on. 
Talk about intent, talk about 

532
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,080
impact, talk about Pakistan 
trying to play more aggressively

533
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,160
in the power play. 
I think Mike hasn't mentioned 

534
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,160
that he didn't want Bauer to 
open because he doesn't think he

535
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,080
can maximize the power play. 
So instead, he thinks Simon 

536
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,240
Farhan are those guys who can 
take advantage of that fielding 

537
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,720
restriction. 
Again, Simon Farhan, all three 

538
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,800
have locked in and that's the 
truth of the matter. 

539
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,080
Like we used to have a top three
issue and now we have a four or 

540
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,720
five issue. 
And the good thing about that 

541
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,480
statement is that the top three 
issue is not resolved with same 

542
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,160
Ava and Farhan basically doing 
what they want to do, coming in,

543
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,160
scoring over 10 and over, making
sure that the power play is 

544
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,680
above par 6063. 
We used to be happy with 42 for 

545
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,280
1:42 for 2:48 for one on on a 
good day. 

546
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,200
And now we're hitting those 6055
plus marks regularly. 

547
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,480
And that literally makes a 
difference between a 160 target 

548
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,120
and 180 target. 
Near the end, the average power 

549
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:14,240
play score when Rizbar were 
opening was 42 runs. 

550
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,680
Yes, thank you very much. 
And now these guys have been 

551
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,880
maybe losing a little bit more 
wickets, but they're at least 

552
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,000
impacting their impact in the 
first six overs is higher. 63 

553
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,120
for two in the power play for 
Pakistan chasing 148 on the 

554
00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:27,720
trot. 
I was about to close the stream 

555
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,200
and walk away. 
I was like, this is over, this 

556
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,960
is done. 
We will be out of here by 3:30 

557
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,720
AM. 
You know, do some tweeting, do 

558
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,560
some Instagramming, be be in bed
by 4. 

559
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,560
You know what time I slept 
Bashar 6 O 5:00 AM Me too. 

560
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,640
Me too buddy. 
Like this is not, this is not 

561
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,400
sustainable. 
What did you think of Simes 

562
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,360
dismissal? 
He looked really good. 

563
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:49,360
He came down the track to Van 
Beek and we saw him using his 

564
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:52,440
feet for the first time in 
against Australia in the last 

565
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:53,480
series. 
And now he's doing that more 

566
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,760
often, which is turning out to 
be quite effective to him 

567
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,920
because it really helps take the
ball off of his length. 

568
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,200
And they have to ball to Simes 
plans then so. 

569
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,560
I think he was looking like 
1,000,000 bucks for a sleep. 4 

570
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,160
fours and a six I believe was 
the final count for him. 

571
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,680
And you know, he just like throw
it. 

572
00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:13,280
The crazy thing about form is 
that a lot of the shots that he 

573
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,720
played yesterday were the same 
shots that he was getting out on

574
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,680
in the Asia Cup. 
You know that check shot, that 

575
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,640
check cover shot over point he 
got he got caught there against 

576
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,440
India. 
You know the the cover drive he 

577
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,760
got caught again cotton bowled 
against I can't believe India or

578
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,560
Bangladesh, one of them, one of 
the ducks that he had. 

579
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:37,960
And so this is form is just like
1 to 2% difference in style and 

580
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,440
mindset. 
And suddenly those deliveries 

581
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,320
are going over the fielder's 
head in between the gaps and 

582
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,880
giving, giving you boundaries 
and giving you just a rapid 

583
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,280
start. 
I think he was looking great. 

584
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,680
I really wish he had continued 
that form on maybe a 2520 ball 

585
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,360
50 would have really helped not 
only propel Pakistan to a better

586
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:55,600
and stronger win, giving him 
confidence as well. 

587
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,760
And I think he was on the book 
for player of the match. 

588
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,920
But Ronaldi, actually Pakistan 
had other ideas including 

589
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,200
Ronaldi. 
But the thing that pissed me off

590
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,800
about science wicket is that the
spinner is bowling into your arc

591
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,680
and turning it away because he 
was an off spinner, traditional 

592
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,760
off spinner. 
And instead of going down the 

593
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,440
ground or hitting him down back 
over the bowler's head, he went 

594
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,640
across trying to hit him towards
mid wicket and fine and long on.

595
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,440
He went. 
No, look. 

596
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,600
Yeah. 
And I, I think if he just played

597
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,040
a little bit more traditionally 
in that moment, I'm pretty sure 

598
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,960
that the four was on the like 
the shot was on on. 

599
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,440
And he would have probably 
capitalized gotten A4, if not a 

600
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,120
six from that moment and really 
would have pushed himself from 

601
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:39,040
24 to 30 off 12. 
And we would have seen maybe a 

602
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,880
even a bigger launchpad for box 
on. 

603
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,080
But those things are little 
slight adjustments. 

604
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,520
And I'm pretty sure as the 
tournament progresses, Simon is 

605
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,800
going to be a wonderful, 
wonderful addition. 

606
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,240
That's the question. 
And would you rather take 

607
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,960
Simon's 13 ball 24 in the park? 
They would rather him score a 35

608
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,160
ball 50. 
Somebody said that in live chat,

609
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,040
somebody they positioned us as. 
Would you take, like you said, 

610
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,680
the 13 ball? 
24 from Siam Ayub or would you 

611
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,040
take a 50 ball? 
70 from Siam Ayub and I think I 

612
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,000
said I'll take the shorter cameo
because I do know Pakistan is in

613
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,560
a firepower at 3:00 and then 678
dash. 

614
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,160
Can really capitalize it and 
keep things moving forward. 

615
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,400
My stance is that if Siam is 
coming into bat, he's getting 

616
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,120
sad he's scoring that 24 off 13 
balls. 

617
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,520
Like now is the time to 
capitalize and just score a big 

618
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,440
total. 
I agree, but Siam has been 

619
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,040
repeatedly struggling to convert
his starts into beginnings and I

620
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,720
I understand his role is to make
an impact and get boxing off to 

621
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,760
a good start. 
But if you've already you're 

622
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,040
you're set, might as well make 
it into beginnings. 

623
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,720
Not for partial milestones, but 
just to make sure that you're 

624
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,120
making best use of your form. 
I also think like the the 

625
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,920
contrast of that is seeing 
Farhan. 

626
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,520
Farhan does that like he, he 
starts really quick and then he 

627
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,800
goes for the big scores, but he 
starts at 200, 190 strike rate. 

628
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,120
And by the time he's hitting 
that those milestones, he's at 

629
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,640
150 strike rate. 
So there is a moment between, 

630
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,560
you know, when he's like what he
was 15, he was 30 off 15 and 

631
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:02,240
then he hit 47 off 31. 
So excuse me, you can see that 

632
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,800
he definitely does slow down and
I don't want that momentum to be

633
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,160
shifted. 
I would have actually, I would 

634
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,520
have actually taken 30 off 15 
from Burhan and then Pakistan 

635
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,240
close off 70 for three and the 
power plane just completely put 

636
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,120
the game at one side. 
You know, 70 left in the last 

637
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,880
14. 
You can do that with your eyes 

638
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,520
closed. 
But I mean, I see that. 

639
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,320
I see, I see both cases. 
I would love for both of them to

640
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,520
score big at a higher strike 
rate, 160 plus, but this is this

641
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,520
for the top three. 
I think this is a good outing, 

642
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,880
good outing. 
All came in next at #3 and in 

643
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,440
the next score that he faced 
against Klein. 

644
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,960
He's smashing for two boundaries
and again looking like a 

645
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,840
difference of what he mentioned 
in the the pre Ford Cup press 

646
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,200
conference that he's now learned
how to compartmentalize his 

647
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,440
batting and his captaincy do. 
You think he's gonna work on his

648
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,880
batting? 
He mentioned he has, he said 

649
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,600
that he worked on it for the 
month that he had off where 

650
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,560
everybody else was playing 
leagues and he was in Pakistan. 

651
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,240
He was working at the NCA with 
coaches, just working on new 

652
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,360
shots on the mental aspect of 
his game because Allah always 

653
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,040
had bad gear in him where he 
could play an anchorage role, he

654
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,440
could play aggressive. 
We saw him in Islamabad United 

655
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,840
and the PSL 10, the one that 
they want, where he was 

656
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,760
aggressive and he was also 
playing as an anchor, showing 

657
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,360
lots of different shots. 
But when he came in the box on 

658
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,240
team, he changed his number for 
#3 to 456. 

659
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,160
And I think he just lost the 
plot a little bit. 

660
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,320
And then also the the pressure 
of captaincy got to him, which 

661
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,520
is one thing that I think Bobber
did really well when he was 

662
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,880
captain, that people kept saying
that, oh, if you make Bobber 

663
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,840
captain, his batting is going to
be impacted. 

664
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,080
But Bob would never really let 
captaincy affect his batting 

665
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,920
negatively. 
In fact, his stats as captain 

666
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,880
are probably better. 
As for batting. 

667
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,280
Yeah, some of the best numbers 
actually, as the captain, Bob, 

668
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,920
ASM has has the honor of having 
that. 

669
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,640
Unfortunately, that's not the 
case in World Cups and that's 

670
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,800
not the case, especially when it
comes to bat. 

671
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,360
I think, you know, Bob, August 
12 off 18. 

672
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,360
Again, not a huge score, but 
enough impact, keeping the 

673
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,960
momentum. 
What did I say? 

674
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,320
18? 
My bad, 12 off 8150 strike rate.

675
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,840
This really, really good stuff 
there. 

676
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,040
It was quick. 
It was important to fours. 

677
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,360
I would have loved to see him 
convert those into big 20s, 

678
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,360
thirties, 40s even, but that's 
fine. 

679
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,040
I at no point was stressed out 
that, hey, Ava scored eight off 

680
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,320
12. 
Are we in a little bit of a rut?

681
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,200
I was like, this is fine. 
Like everybody's trying to get 

682
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,360
some runs in. 
Everybody's playing the the type

683
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,160
of cricket that we saw them play
a couple weeks ago. 

684
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,880
Not, not not much has changed 
when it comes to World Cup, 

685
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,360
which is good. 
That kind of mindset actually 

686
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,160
helps you go deeper into a 
tournament like this, which is 

687
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,840
is fast-paced, moving along 
quite swiftly. 

688
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,040
And then and then Bob Rosen. 
Came in the park. 

689
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,000
They also went all the right out
for Han was then the aggressor. 

690
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,360
Yeah, and he helped Pakistan get
to 61 in the power play. 

691
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,640
Now 61 for Pakistan in the power
play of a World Cup. 

692
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,160
This is a site for psoriasis. 
This is the big Is this the most

693
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,120
we've scored in the proper play?
Actually talking about the 

694
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,240
numbers on that, somebody please
Fact Check us. 

695
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,680
Let us know in the comments. 
But this is such a big contrast 

696
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,760
from Pakistan's power play score
against the USA in the last 20 

697
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,960
World Cup. 
Pakistan in that game was 30 for

698
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,600
three. 
So they've basically doubled the

699
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,600
power play score and they've 
lost one last wicket. 

700
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,440
So at least some improvement, at
least in the power play batting.

701
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,600
Now, Barbara Hasam did step into
the power play. 

702
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,120
I think he had a few deliveries,
maybe even like a couple of 

703
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,800
overs left. 
He scored one off 3. 

704
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,080
One off 3 in the power play. 
Yeah, he had three deliveries to

705
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,480
play in the power play and he 
scored one run. 

706
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,800
I mean, I don't know what the 
management has told Barbara 

707
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,840
Razzam, what his entire role is.
It's his role to be 15 out of 15

708
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,800
and make sure the Pakistan sees 
them through the line. 

709
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,840
If that's the case, then that 
wasn't executed. 

710
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,280
It's his role to just take the 
innings on and get a few bad 

711
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,040
balls and and make sure that he 
capitalizes, goes over 100 

712
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,200
strike rate. 
He didn't do that either. 

713
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,880
The 1/4 that Barbara Razzam hit 
in his entire innings against 

714
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,440
Netherlands was like 1/2 
tracker, like a really down the 

715
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,440
next side clip on the pads where
if you like literally don't hit 

716
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,760
that, then what are you doing as
a batsman and so. 

717
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,400
I, as someone who is a huge 
Barbara Rosen fan in OD is 

718
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:56,280
Tests, have lost complete faith 
in him and his ability to do 

719
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,080
anything in this format. 
There's a time when Barbara used

720
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,240
to come to bat and I would be at
ease. 

721
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,720
I would be excited, OK, 
Barbara's going to come to bat. 

722
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,120
He's going to take the innings 
forward. 

723
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,160
But Barbara, when it came to bat
yesterday, I felt nervous. 

724
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:09,840
I felt stressed. 
I felt dreaded. 

725
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,200
I felt like, Oh yeah, you know, 
that sort of feeling that I was,

726
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:21,560
I was in that state and Pakistan
got to about 98 for two at the 

727
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,880
end of the 11th over. 
And this was thanks to the 

728
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:30,120
partnership between Farhan and 
Bobber, which was 45 off 38 

729
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,600
balls. 
And Farhan's contribution in 

730
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,600
this partnership was 30 off 23. 
Bobbers was 14 off 15. 

731
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,200
Now what this does when Bobber 
is playing 14 off 15, he's 

732
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,000
hogging up one end. 
He's also putting pressure on 

733
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:48,280
Farhan on the other end, which 
is basically a having him to 

734
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,120
play more aggressively and cover
up for Bobber being slow. 

735
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,280
And playing more riskier shots. 
There's a difference between 

736
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,800
aggression and risk, and there's
calculated risk and uncalculated

737
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,640
risk. 
When the other side is being 

738
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,680
completely dried up for runs, 
you'd start taking uncalculated 

739
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,120
risks because you are just 
desperate for runs. 

740
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,120
Some a quick start making sure 
that you don't get behind the 

741
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,719
cue ball when it comes to runs 
required and runs that are being

742
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,639
scored at an overrate. 
I don't understand the strategy 

743
00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:17,199
from Bob Rossum in this whole 
entire thing. 

744
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:18,880
I think this is where the 
downfall of this inning started,

745
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,159
is where Bob Rossum stepped in, 
went for three in the power play

746
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,679
and then. 
Just. 

747
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,760
At innings that goes absolutely 
nowhere. 

748
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,320
I've seen these types of innings
from Bobber many times. 

749
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,320
You remember when he was in New 
Zealand, he had a very similar 

750
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,040
innings like this and innings a 
very similar innings like this 

751
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,960
against the USA. 
That we keep bringing that game 

752
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,280
up because there's a comp here 
that we don't want ever to 

753
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,600
fulfill itself again or we don't
ever want to make that comp 

754
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,760
again. 
But that's the same innings that

755
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,880
he played nine of 23. 
He was at that point when Shalab

756
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,440
Khan came in in against the USA 
in 2024 and there was a very 

757
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,239
similar type of innings. 
Now it is the same culprits from

758
00:34:54,400 --> 00:35:00,880
the scene of the crime from 2024
and 2022, Zimbabwe, Shalab Khan,

759
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,160
China Fidi, it's barbarism 
again. 

760
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,640
I'm I would even say Usman Khan,
Osman Khan as well. 

761
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,520
Yes, it's the same people that 
are putting you in similar 

762
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,640
situations where there's just a 
mental block. 

763
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,880
Like you could see, you know, 
I'm jumping the gun a little bit

764
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,320
here, but you could see Mama 
Navas 13 off 6. 

765
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,920
I believe he was where he would 
just could not get back to ball.

766
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:25,280
And I believe he just found 
himself back in, was it the MCG 

767
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,840
or Sydney Cricket Ground in 2022
against Zimbabwe? 

768
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,120
Just he just found himself back 
there again and he could not 

769
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,680
believe that he was there. 
And he could see the 

770
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,920
frustration, hear the 
frustration when Nawaz was just 

771
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,240
missing a short ball that he 
should have just chipped away. 

772
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:37,520
And he was like, oh, that's why,
right. 

773
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,080
And the umpire was like, that's 
not why. 

774
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,480
That's one of the over. 
And you could just hear audibly 

775
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,960
the stress that he was feeling. 
I remember when we did that, we 

776
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:49,440
did that video, that famous 
video with Nawaz and we were 

777
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,480
talking to him and you know, we 
were making jokes about the 

778
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,600
India game, Zimbabwe game. 
You could just tell that when we

779
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,520
were talking about that Zimbabwe
game and we were talking about 

780
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,200
it in the car when we were 
dropping him back to the hotel, 

781
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,880
he just felt his tone shifted a 
little bit. 

782
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,400
He was talking about that game 
in a very different kind of 

783
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:10,000
light. 
And I think there is a level of 

784
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,120
trauma to a lot of these guys 
who play that USA game, play 

785
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,880
that Zimbabwe game that I don't 
think they they they were able 

786
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,680
to shake. 
And This is why I was nervous 

787
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,440
going into this boxing versus 
Netherlands game. 

788
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:21,800
I didn't think that Pakistan 
would lose. 

789
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,920
I just thought we'd see things 
like this happen and just a 

790
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,120
chance of bottling it becoming 
higher and higher. 

791
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,560
I just I'm shocked at the 
approach of Barbara Azam in this

792
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,240
scenario because you can blame 
Osman Khan, Shadab and Nawaz if 

793
00:36:35,240 --> 00:36:37,280
you want as well. 
And all four of them didn't 

794
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,960
really show up in this game. 
But where does the? 

795
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,840
Where does the downfall start? 
It felt like Bobber's innings 

796
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,120
just suck the energy out of the 
entire chase. 

797
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,800
And the reason why we're talking
about Bobber a lot in this 

798
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,160
podcast is because this is 
Bobber's 11th year now thing 

799
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,160
with box on. 
So we've invested so much in 

800
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,200
this guy and we've been told 
this is this, he's Bitcoin, he's

801
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,760
Ethereum, he's going to be 
giving you crazy dividends. 

802
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,240
And now when it's a time for 
giving these dividends, Bobber, 

803
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,600
we're looking at the Bobber out 
in stock and it's dipping. 

804
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,840
It's it's all red. 
It's his 7th ICC tournament. 

805
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,960
We're bleeding money with 
Barbara Osman 8th actually, if 

806
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,320
you come to the Champions Trophy
in 2000. 

807
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,880
And I think it's important to 
talk about what Alber was 

808
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,880
dropped, how was he brought back
in and what has he done since 

809
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:23,720
Bobber was dropped when Allah 
became the captain And Mike 

810
00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:26,840
Hessen in the Bangladesh series,
Bangladesh Home Series press 

811
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,520
conference said that we've 
dropped Bobber because we've 

812
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,040
asked him to work on his strike 
rate and his game against spin. 

813
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,360
And unless he improves on those 
things, he's not going to come 

814
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,080
back and box on team. 
Now host Asia Cub, we see Bobber

815
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,760
magically come into Pakistan 
team. 

816
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,040
And you know what's interesting?
Bobber played no T20 games 

817
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,560
between that press conference 
and his comeback. 

818
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,400
So there's no evidence of Bobber
going back into domestic playing

819
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,680
any leagues, any matches T 20s 
to improve his strike rate or 

820
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,640
improve his game against spin. 
The only evidence is Bobber and 

821
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,800
like, yeah, I worked on it. 
I, I I did, I did my homework. 

822
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,280
And the teacher's like, well, I 
don't want to see it. 

823
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,760
I trust you. 
Come back. 

824
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,600
You could write this exam. 
It's, it's a little bit 

825
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,040
disingenuous from, from the 
management. 

826
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,440
And the, the reason why he was 
brought back was because in the 

827
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,880
Asia Cup, Pakistan had multiple 
batting collapses. 

828
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,600
And so they were like, if we 
could Barber at #3 #4 at least 

829
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,320
he could hold one end and ensure
that we can get guys who can 

830
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:27,560
play quickly around him to get 
to that 16150 par scores, which 

831
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,320
is going to be the scores you'll
get in Sri Lanka. 

832
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,000
So that was Barber's rules 
definition. 

833
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,520
Again, when you saw this, the 
first thing that we said, the 

834
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,480
chat said, everybody in the 
group chat said was this is 

835
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,640
tailor made for Barbara Rossum. 
He's going to finish it in the 

836
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,960
17th, 18th over probably like 
5040. 

837
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,080
Ball 40 Ball 50 For Barbara 
Rossum, easing himself into 

838
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,800
women should boost his 
confidence and make himself more

839
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,800
aggressive towards the middle 
and back end of the tournament. 

840
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,440
We said the same exact thing 
when Pakistan was chasing 120 

841
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,400
off 120 against India. 
Absolutely we were like 120 off 

842
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,120
120. 
Run a ball Rizbar. 

843
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,560
This is tailor made. 
Please go out to finish the 

844
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,880
match. 
So is this not about skills 

845
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,080
anymore or is this more about 
the mental side of the game? 

846
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:14,120
Barber had a horrible Big Bash. 
Nobody is talking enough about 

847
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,120
that, where he made a record of 
having the lowest strike rate 

848
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,360
for any top water batsman who 
had scored 200 runs. 

849
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,480
Horrible. 
And not even just the runs he 

850
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,680
scored, but his behavior off the
pitch. 

851
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,200
When Steve Smith denied him a 
single, Barber got offended. 

852
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:34,480
His reaction was it's on record.
And there was also a a, a 

853
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,560
statement by Moises Henriques 
where he said that it took 

854
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,680
Barber a couple of days to get 
over that. 

855
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,120
And he mentioned that it's a 
difference in culture in 

856
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:43,840
Australia. 
The team's more important. 

857
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,400
Whatever is needed for the team 
to win, they will do that. 

858
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,880
And Steve Smith denying him a 
single bobber, if he had that 

859
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,960
positive outlook, he would have 
been like, Yep, let me prove you

860
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,280
wrong. 
Next match, I'm going to improve

861
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,040
my game. 
I'm going to score out of breast

862
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,360
strike rate. 
But Bobber instead took the 

863
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,440
other route. 
He was that rate negatively 

864
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,880
personally and. 
It's just a lack of evolution, 

865
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:04,760
man. 
I don't, I don't know. 

866
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:05,720
What? 
I think it's the straw that 

867
00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:07,680
broke the camel's back. 
I have a slight aside on the 

868
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,400
denying the single situation. 
I want to take you back to the 

869
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,360
amazing 2021 T 20 World Cup 
where Pakistan was playing 

870
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,400
Afghanistan. 
As if he comes into bat and it 

871
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:22,560
was the last over of the what is
this 18th over or the 17th over?

872
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,640
The last ball of the 17th over, 
Shalabh punches it towards 

873
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:31,760
square leg and as if he says no 
in the next over he hits the 

874
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,600
other hand. 
I believe who was who was a 

875
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,640
Ghadeem Gennis. 
He has Ghadeem Dennis for four 

876
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,880
success. 
So there is precedence of 

877
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,280
somebody having that RF arming 
and going out there. 

878
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,400
Same thing with Steve Smith in 
that I don't have to remind 

879
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,960
anybody, but Steve Smith denying
Bobber that single hits 32 in 

880
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,400
the next. 
Over bro, we've been saying on 

881
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,960
the podcast Bobber, improve your
game, improve your strike 

882
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,400
rating. 
For two years now improve yours.

883
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,560
Have some sweet sweep shots, 
play some reverse shots. 

884
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,720
Improve your sustainability, but
I feel like Barbara at this 

885
00:40:57,720 --> 00:40:59,360
point is just stubborn. 
I don't know if he's trying to 

886
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,200
improve, if he is making an 
effort, why is he not coming off

887
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,760
in matches against Australia? 
This last series he got out 

888
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,200
playing a reverse sweep against 
Stampa and that's one of the 

889
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,000
worst reverse I've ever seen. 
So it's like he's working on his

890
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,520
game, but when the shots 
already, he's then playing the 

891
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,400
matches and that's all working 
out for him. 

892
00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:21,440
I think the problem, I mean, 
we've done many an hour on 

893
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,120
Barbara Azam and what's going on
with him it's he's not able to 

894
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,680
differentiate signal from the 
noise. 

895
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,240
I know there's a lot of people 
chirping in his ear for a lot of

896
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:31,520
stuff. 
And you know, talking about Bob 

897
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,120
Rossum gets views clicks, 
talking positively about him 

898
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,120
gets a certain types of views. 
Talking negatively about him 

899
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,040
gets a certain type of views. 
Being moderate gets like there's

900
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,320
a spectrum when it comes to Bob 
Rossum and and the and the 

901
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:42,960
discourse around. 
Him. 

902
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,240
I think we've been on both 
spectrums now. 

903
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,760
Yeah, we've been almost. 
Three years. 

904
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,800
I mean, people think we hate 
Barbara Oz, but I'm a genuine, 

905
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,200
genuine fan. 
I think he's one of the great 

906
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,600
batsmen of Pakistan. 
And I just don't think he should

907
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,520
play this format anymore until 
he improves his game. 

908
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,920
And he has improved his game. 
And I don't think he should play

909
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,520
this format. 
Like it's not rocket science. 

910
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,200
I still think T20, sorry. 
I still think Tesla and ODI. 

911
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:02,760
He's a lock. 
Like, there's no way. 

912
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,680
I would even say Tess ODI is. 
OK, fair enough. 

913
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,120
But you know, you can translate 
that game in a test. 

914
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:09,400
That's a whole different 
conversation. 

915
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,840
I want to have that right now. 
But I all I wanted to make, the 

916
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,400
point that I wanted to make was 
there's a lot of people talking 

917
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,800
at him. 
And the problem with him is he's

918
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,240
listening to everything. 
And So what happens is when 

919
00:42:19,240 --> 00:42:21,360
Steve Smith denies you a single,
you don't think about this 

920
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,920
nature of the game. 
You take that personally because

921
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,600
you're like, oh, I have these 
1,000,000 people already telling

922
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,040
me that I can't hit. 
And now my own teammate is 

923
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,040
losing confidence in me. 
I will take that personally 

924
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:35,840
instead of taking that 
objectively and working on my 

925
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,920
game. 
When I when I stood as Barbara 

926
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,600
Azam took that personally, his 
game fell a couple more stops 

927
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,640
that that that's what we saw 
because when he came back from 

928
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:49,080
the Australia BBL to the 
Australia series, it was worse. 

929
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,360
At least that Sri Lanka Tri 
series, he was pretty good. 

930
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,360
He had a man of the match. 
He had he had a 15 there as 

931
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,960
well, a quick fire. 
He did get a quick fire 50 in 

932
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,440
the 1320 high against Australia 
as well. 

933
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,320
But but that was that was a. 
Slow 50 considering pocket on 

934
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,600
score 200 he actually. 
Had a quick start and the last 

935
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,000
eighteen shots that he the run 
scoring shots that he played, 

936
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,040
none of them were boundaries. 
No, I was looking at Pakistan's 

937
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,360
T20 batting history and I was 
thinking about who is a batsman 

938
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,880
who has really evolved his game 
or improved, proved his game and

939
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,040
I could only think of one name. 
That was Mom of the Fees. 

940
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,800
Mom of the Fees, the last two or
three years of his career really

941
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,120
went in the Nets. 
He improved his range hitting, 

942
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,840
he played golf a lot more which 
help with his batswing and we 

943
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,440
saw Fees as a different batter 
in the last half of his career. 

944
00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:36,640
He was such an important person 
in making sure that boxing 

945
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,920
crossed that 300 mark in the 
Champions League final. 

946
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:40,560
Probably his. 
Best. 

947
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,000
Innings of all time. 
His absolute beast innings came 

948
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,240
in at strike of 180 plus he's 
absolutely tarnished. 

949
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:49,320
Put the game on one side, as we 
say, and put 330 on the board. 

950
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,960
Vernier, the Chase. 
And Afiz mentioned that he went 

951
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,520
to the Cpl. 
He saw a lot of the West Indies 

952
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,400
guys who had big muscles and 
they they sort of relied on 

953
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,400
successive abilities. 
And Afiz was at the time an 

954
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,520
anchor player and he saw that, 
he's self reflected. 

955
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,360
He saw the need of improving and
he worked on it. 

956
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,960
We're not seeing any 
improvements. 

957
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,960
If anything, Barbara has been in
such a steep decline. 

958
00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:13,720
Like there used to be a time 
when Barbara would come, he 

959
00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:16,080
played the ball late and 
analysts would talk about how 

960
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:17,760
Barbara is such an elegant 
batsman. 

961
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,640
His cover drive is so good, he's
such easy on the eyes to watch. 

962
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,520
Today's game, I saw him get 
squared up by a baller from 

963
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,000
Netherlands. 
I didn't even know his name. 

964
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,840
Van Wiekern, I don't want to 
know his name. 

965
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:30,880
You. 
Don't want to know his name? 

966
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,680
Yeah, like Barbara was shaky. 
He was nervous. 

967
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:38,200
It just he got one boundary that
was a bad ball and you know, 

968
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,000
he's in the team to do a 
specific job and he wasn't able 

969
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,720
to do that job. 
Look, as I said in the press 

970
00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:45,800
conference that he's ready to 
make tough decisions and the 

971
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,840
management is ready to to put 
away legacy and and the name and

972
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,560
star power for the betterment of
the team I want. 

973
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,280
To. 
See Bob, See Saman Aliyaga. 

974
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,000
Not only have those empty 
statements, but actually follow 

975
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,080
through. 
This is the time to make those 

976
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,440
calls. 
Drop Barbara Razzam, he is not 

977
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,600
suited for #4HE cannot bat at #3
because Salman Aliyah has locked

978
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,240
there. 
Your top three is locked. 

979
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,360
Your your middle lower 3 is 
locked. 

980
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,240
You have a huge issue between #4
and five. 

981
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,520
And that's where the momentum of
the innings gets carried 

982
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,200
forward. 
That is where the inning, that 

983
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,400
is where your innings decides if
it wants to go to 200 or stop 

984
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,960
yourself at 1:45. 
And if you have players like 

985
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:27,040
Barbara Razzam and Usman Khan, 
both different levels of bad, 

986
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:31,000
then you will find yourself 
really struggling in this 

987
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,320
tournament. 
This was Netherlands was a 

988
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,560
decent half side when it comes 
to games against India. 

989
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,960
If you play that game or in the 
Super 8, when you make it over, 

990
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,840
sides will not give you any 
sniff to come back in a game 

991
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,440
like this. 
You will not get innings like 

992
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,880
the one that we saw from Ranaji 
again and again and again. 

993
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,880
Those are free innings. 
You know, the Rosat was able to 

994
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,720
do it once or twice in his life.
You you get one of these innings

995
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,400
once every 10 years where a 
player comes in and just 

996
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:57,680
absolutely demolish to the other
side. 

997
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,600
I simply had that. 
He did that once again. 

998
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,240
Remember, Omerga had that. 
Omerga had that again. 

999
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:07,040
You cannot bank on these innings
to keep take you deep into a 

1000
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,800
tournament and even in that 
tournament Pakistan went to the 

1001
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,360
semi finals, could not pass Sri 
Lanka and I just don't want 

1002
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,120
Pakistan to make those same 
mistakes. 

1003
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,760
I cannot believe I'm about to 
say this, but in 2017 Pakistan 

1004
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,880
dropped Ahmad Shahzad and 
replaced Fuckerzaman and won the

1005
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,280
Chinese trophy on the back of 
Fuckerzaman's heroics. 

1006
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,600
I think Pakistan has to drop 
Barbara Azam, bring in Huazan 

1007
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,560
and hopefully he becomes the 
Fuckerzaman of this tournament 

1008
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,160
and takes box on home. 
And I cannot believe that we 

1009
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,960
have come from an arc where 
Barbara Azam was one of our 

1010
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,040
starlights. 
The the, the, the North Star 

1011
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,000
that everybody used to point at 
to a point where like 

1012
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:48,120
everybody's rallying around the 
one rally cry, which is get Bob 

1013
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,320
Ross out of, but get Bob Rossman
out of the. 11 did a poll on our

1014
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,160
Instagram stories asking if Bob 
or should we drop for the next 

1015
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,680
match and 72% of people said 
yes, Barbara should be dropped. 

1016
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,720
And I I agree with those people.
I think Alga has already made 

1017
00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:03,040
some tough calls. 
I mean, Farhar Zaman was getting

1018
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,800
water last this last match so 
he's already made some tough 

1019
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,840
calls and I I wouldn't be 
surprised if they do bench 

1020
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,640
Barbara the next game. 
I think it's important for the 

1021
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,320
ego of Barbara Azim that he 
comes in wearing a yellow babe 

1022
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,520
in the middle of the ground, 
getting water and supporting his

1023
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,560
team from the outside. 
Exactly how Farhar Naseem did at

1024
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:21,800
this match. 
They did it with that. 

1025
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,640
By the way we talked about this,
he's never been dropped. 

1026
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,600
Never been dropped. 
He's always been released from 

1027
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:27,960
the squad. 
Never seen him in a yellow bit, 

1028
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,160
Sydney. 
Sector sent back Barbaraazum 

1029
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,680
before dropping him because he 
was called up to Pakistan's 

1030
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,360
white ball camp. 
So important. 

1031
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,040
Akhadravid Drop released him 
from the squad against England 

1032
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,640
in the Test series when when 
they dropped him, so this is 

1033
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,400
important. 
For if you're not playing a 

1034
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,200
bilateral, this is not a Tri 
series in the UA, this is AICC 

1035
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,520
World Cup. 
Now is the time to make some 

1036
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,400
tough calls. 
And if Barbaraazum is a 

1037
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,760
weakling, you see, if he's a 
liability in the middle order, 

1038
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,280
drop him. 
You know, even Farhar Zaman 

1039
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:57,960
coming back isn't the worst 
idea. 

1040
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,800
I I say this because Farhar at 
#4 has a 25 average and 1:50 

1041
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,240
plus strike rate. 
So he wouldn't be the the worst 

1042
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,520
option. 
But Farhar has also been in 

1043
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,000
really bad form. 
So I think I've given into the 

1044
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,640
idea that maybe Nafis should 
come in. 

1045
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,560
He could be an X Factor player. 
Nobody's seen a lot of him. 

1046
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,840
He has a bit of a fearless 
attitude to himself. 

1047
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,720
And you know he has no baggage 
behind him. 

1048
00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:21,680
He has no PTSD of any USA, 
Zimbabwe, Ireland matches. 

1049
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:26,400
So wouldn't be the worst call to
bring with Nafi in for Barber, 

1050
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,440
let's go to Swan Khan. 
Swan Khan. 

1051
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,280
Let's just let me tell you how 
bad Swan Khan is, OK? 

1052
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,480
He has played five games. 
You don't have to tell me. 

1053
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:39,200
By the way, in World Cups, 5 
innings, 20 runs, five average, 

1054
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,480
5 average. 
In ICC World Cups high score of 

1055
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:48,520
13, strike rate of 83 and he 
scored his first duck Martial 

1056
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,080
law. 
In today's match, Wusman Khan 

1057
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:55,480
struggles against pace have been
documented pretty well, whether 

1058
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,200
it be the PSL or 
internationally. 

1059
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,840
We're in this World Cup now. 
He got an inside edge, seemed 

1060
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,160
like he was slow on the ball and
it's just I look at Pakistan's 

1061
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,520
keeper scenario right now and it
is extremely sad. 

1062
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:14,080
Like a country whose plays one 
sport millions of people play. 

1063
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,640
There's hundreds of kids in 
domestic but we can't find one 

1064
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,920
good keeper batsman. 
Can I, Can I present a scenario 

1065
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,960
to you? 
I remember we were positioning 

1066
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:27,240
Mahmoud Harris, his return into 
the team and we were talking 

1067
00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:29,480
about, hey, maybe we just play 
him after everybody else. 

1068
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,600
What if, what if we do that with
a smile on you? 

1069
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,880
You put a smile on after Fahim 
and you basically move. 

1070
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,640
Everybody went up, which which 
means they get more resources 

1071
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,880
When they come into bat, 
immediately slap comes into 

1072
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,000
five. 
No, I got 6 Fahim at 7:00. 

1073
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,600
I think it's too late, like now 
you got to back whatever squad 

1074
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,640
that you have and amongst the 
squad that we have, I'm just 

1075
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,520
saying they're shuffling the 11.
That's what I'm saying. 

1076
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:55,360
You, you put a smile after fame.
Oh, you're saying to just put a 

1077
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:56,920
spawn more down the order? 
Yeah, down the order. 

1078
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,640
I think he's in the team. 
So he's in the team because he 

1079
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,960
plays spin well at #5 but what's
happening is when he's coming 

1080
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,760
into bad team, did bowling pace 
against him? 

1081
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,200
Yeah, which is his weakness. 
It's not a weakness. 

1082
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,160
Like it's crazy. 
He cannot play. 

1083
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,960
He's an international batter. 
He. 

1084
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,320
Cannot play high pace any 
anything over 135. 

1085
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:17,800
This is the same issue that I 
have with Takar. 

1086
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,240
Remember him guys, Cha cha 
anybody. 

1087
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,960
Bengal tiger. 
Was it Bengal tiger? 

1088
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,160
Bengal tiger? 
Bengal tiger out of the 

1089
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:28,680
tournament. 
By the way, just if anybody's 

1090
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,000
following the news, same issue 
with him. 

1091
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,480
He's a test player for Pakistan 
world class. 

1092
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,400
Played multiple finals. 
Cannot play high pace. 

1093
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:38,640
How? 
How is that a thing? 

1094
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,680
That's crazy to me. 
Pakistan lost 3 wickets in eight

1095
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,160
balls. 
Farhan also got. 

1096
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,000
Out and migrant double wicket 
maiden. 

1097
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,240
What more do I have to say? 
It looked like there was over a 

1098
00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:50,760
complete change in the moment on
the entire game. 

1099
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:54,040
It looked like there was a clear
ploy of short pitch balls 

1100
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:55,840
against Farhan. 
I watched the highlights as well

1101
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,560
and it seemed like they're 
bowling slow bouncers, fast 

1102
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,280
bouncers. 
So maybe he has some weakness 

1103
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,960
that we haven't seen yet against
short pitch stuff and he got 

1104
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,480
caught out a ball that was 
really wide. 

1105
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,040
He maybe should have played that
towards third man or over, over 

1106
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,160
a backward point. 
But he just tried to heave it 

1107
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:11,800
towards mid wicket, gets caught 
out. 

1108
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:16,480
And then there was a partnership
between Shahdab and Nawaz that 

1109
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,720
did not go anywhere. 
And to say how bad boxing was 

1110
00:51:19,720 --> 00:51:23,080
doing. 
So before the collapse happened,

1111
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,760
they were 98 for two. 
Boxing needed fifty runs off 54 

1112
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,080
balls, 8 wickets in hand. 
And at that point, we were 

1113
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:32,160
talking about, yo, Pakistan 
should finish the match quickly 

1114
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,680
to boost their net run rate. 
And in case there's any rain 

1115
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:39,200
outside, it came to a point 
where there was 44 balls for 

1116
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,960
Pakistan did not score a single 
boundary. 

1117
00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:44,480
Can you imagine that's that's 
more than 7 overs? 

1118
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,480
Against the Dutch. 
By the way, this is Netherlands.

1119
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,000
Pakistan lost 5 wickets for 16 
runs. 

1120
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:54,960
This is almost a generational 
collapse, but not as bad as the 

1121
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,040
Asia Cup final that was. 
It wasn't just as bad as that. 

1122
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,920
And so I thought because I've 
lived through Zimbabwe, I've 

1123
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,200
lived through the USA, I've 
lived through three Asia Cup 

1124
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,080
games on the trot, I would be 
ready for this moment. 

1125
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,760
If you go back to the live guys.
I was not ready for this moment.

1126
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,640
I think I've been quiet. 
I hello doctors. 

1127
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:12,680
My old friend was playing in my 
head. 

1128
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,880
I was like, this is it? 
This is the end of the World Cup

1129
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,400
in mere 3 hours. 
It's starting. 

1130
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,960
This is Champions Trophy 2025 
all over again. 

1131
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:26,760
We're out before we're even in. 
And I was like this, this cannot

1132
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,680
be happening again. 
I I cannot be reliving this 

1133
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:30,680
moment all over it. 
I feel like I was getting 

1134
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:35,680
pranked and it just like what I 
was feeling was exactly what the

1135
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,120
players were feeling. 
You could see the dugout just 

1136
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:41,200
being absolutely quiet. 
Allah has that hairline has gone

1137
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,440
back my friend and they would 
just felt like he would gone. 

1138
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,960
It had gone back a few more 
inches in that moment, has in 

1139
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,560
just everybody was. 
Crashing his beard. 

1140
00:52:50,240 --> 00:52:52,280
Allah was like, he was 
incredulous. 

1141
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:54,480
He was like, I cannot believe 
this is happening right? 

1142
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:59,760
Like nobody had and nobody had 
any inkling of what was going 

1143
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,920
on. 
They could not believe that 

1144
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,280
Pakistan might get knocked out 
in this moment against 

1145
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,440
Netherlands. 
This could not be happening 

1146
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:08,080
once. 
Shadab. 

1147
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:09,960
Got out, by the way, horrible 
dismissal. 

1148
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,800
Shadab is batting at #6 he's 
Pakistan's most experienced 

1149
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:16,880
player and he's in the team to 
win them games at #6 for him to 

1150
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,560
and in the Internet went nowhere
and then a very soft dismissal 

1151
00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:23,280
just really pissed a bunch of 
the opposite puzzle there. 

1152
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:27,440
But there came a point where box
on needed 29 runs off 12 balls. 

1153
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:32,120
So Can you imagine the required 
rate went from being around 5.5 

1154
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:36,480
to 14 1/2 in the span of 6 
overs? 

1155
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:37,960
6 overs. 
That that's that's. 

1156
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,160
This is Pakistan cricket at its 
best. 

1157
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:42,360
One minute down, next minute 
worse. 

1158
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,320
This is worse. 
Fahim hits a six and the next 

1159
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,960
ball it's a store delivery he 
gets dropped on long on. 

1160
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:56,720
Now there's 2 boxing cricket 
teams or the future of boxing 

1161
00:53:56,720 --> 00:54:01,840
cricket's World Cup 1 where Max 
O'Dowd takes that catch. 

1162
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,880
And the repercussion of that 
could be the following. 

1163
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,440
Pakistan eminently lose the 
match because Salman Rizzo and 

1164
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,200
abroad Hammer is the next 
batsman and there's no way 

1165
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,040
they're chasing 23 off 10 balls.
There's no way it's happening. 

1166
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:19,000
Pakistan loses match and because
the government has made a bold 

1167
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,280
call of not playing the game 
against India, you lose 2 

1168
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,800
points, it has a hit to your net
run rate and Pakistan is 

1169
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:30,160
virtually out of the World Cup. 
So much planning, so much 

1170
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,920
strategies, hashtags, Salmac 
era, and all of that down the 

1171
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:38,920
drain within a span of a bat 
overs you play. 

1172
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,160
Yeah. 
And then the other side of that 

1173
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:44,800
is what happened actually, which
is insane. 

1174
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,800
The wall goes up in the air Max 
without underneath and just 

1175
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,880
pockets sorry, not pockets just 
drops a Dolly like what else can

1176
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:52,680
I say? 
It hit his hand. 

1177
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:54,880
It hit his palm. 
It hit his noggin and it hit the

1178
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:59,920
ground and and for some reason 
the other Kyle Klein pulls A 

1179
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:02,160
hamstring or a calf and he was 
not even on the field. 

1180
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:03,440
He was not the one feeling that 
delivery. 

1181
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,240
He goes out like a lot was 
happening at that moment. 

1182
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:10,720
Runner runs two and then another
six, another six, another four. 

1183
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:15,080
And then at that moment I, I, I 
was just like, I did not know 

1184
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,880
how high strung, how tensed I 
was until I went back and saw 

1185
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,560
the reactions of myself. 
I don't remember that happening.

1186
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,040
I was just like letting the game
happen to me. 

1187
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,120
At the moment. 
I, I, I personally felt like I 

1188
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:25,440
was paralyzed. 
You were holding your own. 

1189
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,440
I don't know how you were 
walking and talking through 

1190
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:31,920
those like 6-8 deliveries. 
I could not just, I, I was 

1191
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,120
again, I'm finding myself 
speechless again because there 

1192
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,240
was not that game was not going 
on in my head. 

1193
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,360
I saw the USA game going on in 
my head, the Zimbabwe game going

1194
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,240
on in my head, the India game, 
36 off 36 going on in my head. 

1195
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,800
I saw. 
What else did I see? 

1196
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:49,120
I saw the trauma was so deep. 
It took me back to Bichar 2011 

1197
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:50,880
where St. 
Michaels was playing a date ball

1198
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,760
tournament at Ketchi Maiman and 
we needed two runs off 3 

1199
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:55,280
deliveries. 
Do you remember this? 

1200
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:56,080
I was on the running. 
End. 

1201
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:57,960
We were on the running end and 
we were not able. 

1202
00:55:57,960 --> 00:55:59,840
It was a semi final. 
We were not able to go into the 

1203
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:03,960
finals and it took me back to 
2011 Bichar like this is how 

1204
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:08,320
deep entrenched into the trauma 
I was like I could not see 

1205
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,880
myself. 
I could not see a way to get out

1206
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,040
of this mess. 
But man, this is where I think 

1207
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,480
we talk about many times on this
podcast, how the need of a 

1208
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,960
fastballing all rounder is so 
important. 

1209
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,160
World cricket has changed. 
You need one in your team at 

1210
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:24,880
least. 
And we kept finding the next of 

1211
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:26,960
those are we know we had a whole
whole podcast about this, I 

1212
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,960
believe in 2023. 
Who is the next? 

1213
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:33,720
Ahmad Azam, Ahmad Yamin Fahim 
Mushraf, Ahmad Jamal Umar Ali, 

1214
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,600
Bilal Bharti. 
The name was in one of those and

1215
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,360
we just never, he never gave 
Fahim Ashraf the flowers that he

1216
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,280
needed. 
His inclusion in the Champions 

1217
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,840
Trophy in the series. 
Before that, it was met with a 

1218
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:47,120
lot of criticism, including us. 
We were on record saying we 

1219
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:48,840
don't like the way that a Fahim 
Ashraf entered. 

1220
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,160
We heard rumors about a certain 
phone call being made. 

1221
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:52,920
Cannot confirm nor. 
There was some political 

1222
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:54,720
influence involved. 
We don't know if that's the 

1223
00:56:54,720 --> 00:56:56,760
case, but we heard that and that
again left a bad taste in our 

1224
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,480
mouth. 
Everything's wrong, Everything 

1225
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,960
has been proven wrong. 
Fahim Ashraf. 

1226
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:05,800
Without him, there is no World 
Cup 2026 for Pakistan, There is 

1227
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,000
no. 
Campaign Can you imagine? 

1228
00:57:08,240 --> 00:57:09,520
What? 
Can you believe the fact that 

1229
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,960
this was Fahim Ashraf's debut 
match in the? 

1230
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,160
World first game Fahim Ashraf 
has ever played in the World Cup

1231
00:57:15,240 --> 00:57:18,040
this man has played. 
His debut is 2017, yeah. 

1232
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:19,960
That's what I was going to say. 
He played the Jaguar Trophy. 

1233
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,400
He was in the squad in the 
Jaguar Trophy. 

1234
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,280
So 21 World Cup 2224, Fahim 
Ashraf has 23? 

1235
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,680
No, no, I'm talking about two 
World Cups. 

1236
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,200
Fahim Mushraf has missed 300 
World Cups. 

1237
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,480
Why? 
Who was the captain? 

1238
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:39,480
How was Fahim Ashraf overlooked?
I think every player needs to be

1239
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,120
managed in a specific fashion. 
And what you've heard about 

1240
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:44,680
Fahim was that he's a confidence
guy. 

1241
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,360
You've got to really boost his 
confidence, you've got to stroke

1242
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,440
his ego, and that's when Fahim 
performed at his best. 

1243
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:55,600
And I think this management has 
figured out how to get the best 

1244
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:57,720
out of Fahim. 
I have been Fahim's biggest 

1245
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,920
critic on this podcast and my 
criticism was more around the 

1246
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,000
fact that yes, his bowling is 
good, he's doing decently, but 

1247
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:08,000
his stats as a batsman, before 
his comeback last year, he was 

1248
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,960
averaging 12 with the bat. 
His strike rate one 25129. 

1249
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:15,080
I'm like bro this is horrible 
for a fastballing or you can't 

1250
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,320
even be a fastballing honor 
because your batting stats 

1251
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,360
aren't decent enough. 
But since his comeback he's 

1252
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,840
averaging around 16 and his 
strike rate is 150 ish. 

1253
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:28,320
So he's really improved and he 
hasn't played many deliveries in

1254
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,920
the last year or so. 
But whenever he has come to bat 

1255
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,720
he's made an impact and I just 
think he adds a lot of balance 

1256
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,480
to our team. 
There was a lot of questions 

1257
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,240
yesterday in the life that oh 
why is Fahim playing? 

1258
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,680
Why do we need him? 
I just think Fahim, if somebody 

1259
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:44,960
is having a bad day with the 
ball for him and come in and 

1260
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:49,000
bowled it overs, if somebody and
as as a batting unit you fail, 

1261
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:50,520
Fahim can do what he did 
yesterday. 

1262
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,280
Fahim can finish the match off. 
He can give you batting depth, 

1263
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,280
that extra cushion that batters 
know that if there is a 

1264
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,480
collapse, Fahim is there to save
us. 

1265
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,480
Let me get you some stats stats 
in so we can better give some 

1266
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,920
context on the Fahim resurgence 
era. 

1267
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,280
Last year he played 28 matches, 
21 innings. 

1268
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:10,080
He batted in five not outs, 224 
runs struck at an average of 14,

1269
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,440
which is not the best but a 
strike rate of 141. 

1270
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,360
Right now coming to this year, 
he's played five matches. 

1271
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:20,000
He's batted 3 * 2 not outs, 48 
runs. 

1272
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,000
He scored high score of 29, 
which was the last game. 48 

1273
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:28,320
average striker of 266 impact. 
But that's what he's coming in 

1274
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,960
facing 5 to 7 deliveries Max. 
This game he faced 11 and is 

1275
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,560
completely keeping the momentum 
and taking that into the next 

1276
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,480
innings. 
Not only that, big match, big 

1277
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,480
player, game, clutch player, 
CLUTCH clutch. 

1278
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,040
The man on my right would agree.
You know what you know. 

1279
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:45,440
It's crazy. 
Let me just tell you this. 

1280
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,080
Comes in, has not bowled 
anything. 

1281
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:49,800
I believe in the Asia Cup that 
is meaningful. 

1282
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,040
Bowls the second over of the 
Asia Cup final, gets a 

1283
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,720
restriction out, comes back in 
the power play. 

1284
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:59,360
I think he bowls 3 in the power 
play, gets Schuman Gill out. 

1285
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:02,240
What? 
What more do I want? 

1286
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,000
Doesn't he also get Shivam Dubey
out in in the back end? 

1287
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:06,400
In the back end he gets. 
Shivam Dubey out as well. 

1288
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:11,480
So Fayy Mushraf has played one 
match in the ICC to 20 World Cup

1289
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:12,920
and he has won that in the match
award. 

1290
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:17,280
One for one bro. 
Clutch match winner, etcetera. 

1291
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,520
How many did Barbara have? 
Babar Azam has played. 18 

1292
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:24,760
matches in 200 World Cups and he
has a grand total of 0 man of 

1293
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,600
the match awards. 
Fact Check me Barbara has also 

1294
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:32,400
played six games in Asia Cup. 
T 20s zero man of the match. 

1295
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:36,960
That's 24 matches in multi 
nation tournaments in T 20s and 

1296
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,080
not a single player of the 
match. 

1297
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,960
Only one player of the match 
award in his ICC repertoire, 

1298
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:44,360
which is the New Zealand game. 
Is that the only one he has? 

1299
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:46,800
I have to go back and check. 
I'm not sure. 

1300
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,400
Somebody please Fact Check us 
and let us know if Bob Osmus won

1301
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:53,280
any other player of the match 
awards and all of the ICC 

1302
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,760
tournaments combined. 
All of them, I believe that's 

1303
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:56,840
the only one that I can think 
of. 

1304
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,960
Even though he was the top 
scorer for Pakistan in the 2019 

1305
01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:01,680
World Cup, was he? 
He was the top scorer, right, 

1306
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,040
for Pakistan, For Pakistan, yes.
And he was also the the highest 

1307
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,080
run scorer of the 2021 World 
Cup, yes. 

1308
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,560
I didn't want anything for that.
But I'm we're just talking 

1309
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,240
straight player of the matches 
that that is the way you gauge 

1310
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,400
impact and that's not the case 
and that's crazy. 

1311
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,040
Flame saves the day. 
I mean, this doesn't happen 

1312
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:18,680
everyday. 
I'm not happy with how Pakistan 

1313
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,840
has won. 
Like, if that catch is taken, 

1314
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,200
the game's done. 
World Cup is done. 

1315
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:26,040
But I'm happy for fame. 
I think this not only just gives

1316
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:29,280
him like 2X3X maybe 5X the 
confidence that he already had, 

1317
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,880
but you have a whole nation now 
backing him. 

1318
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:36,080
We we, we put out apology forms.
We put out like it was just 

1319
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:38,320
we're talking about Basant and 
Lahar. 

1320
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:39,960
And again, we're from Karachi. 
We don't experience that. 

1321
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,720
So I don't even know how that's 
going on. 

1322
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:43,080
I hope the Laharys are having 
fun. 

1323
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:44,520
Would love to experience one day
myself. 

1324
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,120
But there was Basant on the TL, 
bro. 

1325
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:50,520
The timeline was lit. 
There was a lot of the patangs 

1326
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,280
and and all of that stuff going 
on, on the tail, a lot of 

1327
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,080
khushis. 
We're from Karachi, so Patang 

1328
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,160
for us being something 
different. 

1329
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:57,960
Well, yeah, did you see the 
tabehash? 

1330
01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:59,480
For sure I did. 
Did you see the joke? 

1331
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,520
It's cracked Rash. 
Like crazy joke by the way. 

1332
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,960
Insane joke. 
Shout out to Tabe. 

1333
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,960
Shout out to Rash for taking 
that as well. 

1334
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,000
Shout out Tabeh as well. 
What changes would you make for 

1335
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,480
the next match? 
So you're saying bobber out and 

1336
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,840
nafa in? 
And would you also people are 

1337
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,880
saying Shaheen out and Naseem in
or you play swanthotic? 

1338
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:23,000
Because it looks like at the at 
the at the core, these pitches 

1339
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,400
are still low scoring and and 
turning tracks. 

1340
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,920
So going with three Pacers might
not be the best idea because 

1341
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,360
Fahim didn't ball a single over.
Let me answer your question with

1342
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,440
a question. 
Would you drop China Philly or 

1343
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,560
is it too soon? 
Look, salamanders look like a 

1344
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:39,400
better ball than him. 
He seems smarter. 

1345
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,520
He seemed better kept in the 
power play. 

1346
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:45,320
He balled better in the death. 
But you know, how can 

1347
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,680
salamanders do in in more high 
pressure situations? 

1348
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,000
Shaheen is kind of also there 
because he can hold a bat. 

1349
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,760
Like the reason why Fahim was 
able to get his 29 was because 

1350
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,360
Shahim was on the other end. 
Yeah, giving him strike and not 

1351
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:00,160
getting out. 
I would give Shahim another 

1352
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:01,160
shot. 
Yeah, one more. 

1353
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:02,560
One more game, I guess. 
The US. 

1354
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:05,680
But if you do have to then play 
3 Pacers, how? 

1355
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,360
Who do you bench then? 
You have to bench some armors 

1356
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,160
though. 
Yeah, sorry if you play 3. 

1357
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:10,640
Spinners. 
Sorry. 

1358
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:11,720
Yeah, you got to bench some 
armors. 

1359
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:13,480
I think he gets to act even 
though he bowled pretty well in 

1360
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,440
my opinion. 
You got to drop #4 bro where was

1361
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:17,760
that number 4? 
Right now I'm forgetting the 

1362
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:19,200
name. 
They're gonna drop him. 

1363
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,240
Can you imagine Fokker and 
Barber both on the bench? 

1364
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,120
Senior Statesman bad selection, 
What can I tell? 

1365
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:27,440
You I think you need to make 
these tough calls. 

1366
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:28,240
You got to make these tough 
calls. 

1367
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:29,960
They should not have been in the
squad in the 1st place we've 

1368
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:31,480
been mentioning. 
This back on this after the 

1369
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:33,560
World Cup, but now? 
We did a podcast with pro 

1370
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:35,160
sports. 
Our call was the same. 

1371
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:36,920
You got to drop Barber. 
He should not be in the squad. 

1372
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:37,880
Fokker should not be in the 
squad. 

1373
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,000
They don't have their repertoire
at the innings, the momentum, 

1374
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:44,720
the wings, the air under the 
wings to take this to the next 

1375
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,160
level. 
That that was not a criticism on

1376
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:48,800
them. 
That was just our take and that 

1377
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:50,480
that they should probably look 
at someone new. 

1378
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,400
If they made the tough call to 
drop hottest roof and and 

1379
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:56,560
Muhammad Izawan, Fakhar Zaman 
and Baba Razan were right there 

1380
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:58,280
to be dropped, they should have 
made those strong calls. 

1381
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,720
You had Shalaf Khan there, you 
had Nawaz there, you had Fahim 

1382
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:03,360
there, you had Shahim there that
were the older statesman taking 

1383
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,520
the lead and basically pushing 
this into a new generation. 

1384
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:06,960
You should have dropped these 
two. 

1385
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:08,680
You should have put in two new 
batsmen in. 

1386
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:11,080
Muhammad Harris would have 
probably given you that Osman 

1387
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:15,200
Khan situation remedy for that. 
And then maybe Hassan Nawaz if 

1388
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:16,600
he's mentally fit or not, I 
don't know. 

1389
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,160
I'm hearing conflicting news. 
Somebody else, somebody else 

1390
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,840
that goes into that number four 
or five spot and just is a lock.

1391
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,320
What would you say to a Barbara 
Rosen fan while he was saying 

1392
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:28,440
but Nazarpai Barbara is playing 
at 4, He's been an opener or #3 

1393
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,800
now you're putting him at #4 
which is not his batting 

1394
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,280
position. 
And no wonder he's struggling 

1395
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,600
that he's only, he's only played
#4 in the last years against 

1396
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,400
Australia and now in the world. 
Cup, if it was communicated to 

1397
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:41,440
him very plainly that hey, 
Barbara Rosen, if you come back 

1398
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:43,240
in the team you're going to play
at #4 he shouldn't have come 

1399
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,040
back in the team. 
If I don't get the position that

1400
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,440
I want to play at, I don't think
my game is good enough. 

1401
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,160
This is a conversation he has to
have with himself. 

1402
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,320
By the way, Bob Rosen has to 
look in the mirror and say I 

1403
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:54,280
don't have the game to play at 
#4 and keep the strike rate over

1404
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:56,280
1/21/25. 
I cannot do that. 

1405
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,320
So instead of coming into the 
team and have been dead weight, 

1406
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:01,720
I will be. 
I will release myself and wash 

1407
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:05,040
it from the comfort of my home. 
Maybe join the backward point 

1408
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:08,840
live and watch it with the laps.
But I will not be a Privy to 

1409
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,520
this adjustment. 
We're adjusting for Barbara 

1410
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:12,720
Azim. 
Is this what the world has come?

1411
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:14,800
Adjustment for Barbara Azim is 
an insane thing. 

1412
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:18,760
And again, we cannot under 
under. 

1413
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:20,800
What is the word I'm looking 
for? 

1414
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:22,440
Estimate. 
Underestimate. 

1415
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,680
No, not underestimate. 
Like underrate. 

1416
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:30,360
We cannot underrate the 
performance of He saved us, not 

1417
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:34,280
from this game, not for this 
week, not from this group stage,

1418
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,040
for the entire tournament. 
Pakistan's government, 

1419
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:40,880
Pakistan's board has made a very
strong call and everything falls

1420
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:44,040
away if Pakistan lose like a 
Netherland. 

1421
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:47,560
So not only has Fame Ashraf 
saved you on that account in 

1422
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,920
just in terms of cricketing wins
and in keeping you alive in the 

1423
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:54,200
tournament, the outer context of
the game stays relevant. 

1424
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,960
I don't know if you saw but most
enough we posted a picture of 

1425
01:05:58,200 --> 01:05:59,840
fame Ashraf's kids. 
That fame? 

1426
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:01,120
Ashraf's kids, yes. 
Twins. 

1427
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,360
And is that is that really fame?
That's really fame. 

1428
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:07,120
Ashraf's kids. 
OK, can you do a segment on just

1429
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:09,480
some stuff that has been said 
about Fahim online? 

1430
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:10,880
This is my favorite segment, Go 
ahead. 

1431
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:16,160
When Rana tells the temperature,
sorry, Rana tells the 

1432
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:20,800
temperature to the thermometer. 
OK, once PCV gave trials to 

1433
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,960
Rana, then Rana left the PCV. 
Amazing. 

1434
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:28,240
When Neil Armstrong went to 
moon, Rana was already there and

1435
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:32,160
playing cricket with aliens. 
Once Rana wanted to play cricket

1436
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,440
for five days. 
Now that format is known as tax 

1437
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,760
cricket. 
Jack Doors of cricket. 

1438
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:43,200
Wapta gave his money to Rana for
using electricity when Rana 

1439
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:45,360
entered the classroom. 
Teacher. 

1440
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:49,320
Signed up for him. 
Once Rana was bitten by a dog. 

1441
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,000
Then the dog received 21 
injections. 

1442
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,240
Hardik Parnia and Ben Stokes 
have just one sheep. 

1443
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:58,520
In cricket, they were once 
compared to Rana. 

1444
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:03,000
That's good stuff. 
Well, this is a meme game, man. 

1445
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,640
There's a meme game is insane. 
Congratulations, Fahim Rana, 

1446
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,640
man, Like what? 
What else am I going to say to 

1447
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,400
celebration of him, to 
celebration of his career of the

1448
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:12,800
fast bowling all around that I 
was promised. 

1449
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:16,400
I think that you should put more
confidence in Fahim bench. 

1450
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,960
Your fast bowler is be it Salman
Mirza or Shahi Nafi the bringing

1451
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:23,120
his monotic and just not allow 
these teams to get away like the

1452
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:25,520
way that they did. 
You know, let's talk about the 

1453
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:27,000
box. 
Against USA, last thing, India 

1454
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:28,480
versus USA. 
Congratulations to the box and 

1455
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:29,400
fans. 
We're still alive in this 

1456
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,240
tournament, which means that our
our campaign, which are here at 

1457
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:34,680
the at the backward point 
dailies at the World Cups, 

1458
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:36,320
remains live. 
I'm really happy for that. 

1459
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:38,440
Let's go to the next match, 
India. 

1460
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:40,800
Versus USA, by the way, we 
talked an hour and like 8 

1461
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:42,640
minutes on this, yeah. 
I I don't know, people are 

1462
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:44,800
listening. 
People are here, People are 

1463
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,760
here. 
You can't talk about the USA 

1464
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,920
match versus India without 
talking about the official 

1465
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:53,040
apparel sponsor for USA that was
Yoshi Sports. 

1466
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:57,080
Yoshi Sports, even though they 
are making the equipment for 

1467
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,120

1477
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,640
Yo, it's you know what I saw it 
as I saw it India versus Yashi 

1478
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:34,000
sports presents USAI love that 
that's that's the the the team 

1479
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,560
that I was watching man and 
Yashi sports presents Team USA 

1480
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,120
man, they almost they almost 
took it away. 

1481
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:42,080
They almost, almost did what 
they did to boxed on to India. 

1482
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:46,439
You could hear a pin drop in the
wanker stadium if it was not for

1483
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,359
Sreya Kumari Yadav, who I don't 
know what has happened to him in

1484
01:08:48,359 --> 01:08:50,960
the past couple of weeks. 
He's a different beast since the

1485
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:52,439
New Zealand series. 
Player of the series in that 

1486
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:58,120
game and in this game made sure 
that India get to a total that 

1487
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,399
is above par. 
Man at 1.130 was looking tough 

1488
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:04,240
and if India got bowled out for 
1:30 man, USA was chasing this 

1489
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:07,560
in 18 overs. 
And you know what, I think some 

1490
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,960
some teams would have enjoyed 
the walk over on Sunday. 

1491
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:13,200
They were like, I will take it. 
To summarize today's game of 

1492
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:17,720
cricket, you can say that drop 
catches save South Asian teams 

1493
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,760
100%. 
Max O'Dowd drops Fahim Ashraf 

1494
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:25,160
and he finishes the match. 
Team USA drops so many catches. 

1495
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:29,080
They make so many fumbles. 
I mean, Ishan gets dropped, Sky 

1496
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:30,200
gets dropped. 
Cotton wool. 

1497
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,920
The ball literally goes inside 
the baller's hand and it pops 

1498
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,800
out. 
What is Sky? 

1499
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,000
You know, What sort of prayers 
is he making? 

1500
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:39,840
He's emanating aura, That's all 
it is. 

1501
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:42,760
I think van Vankaday is his home
stadium, right? 

1502
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:46,080
He's from from Mumbai. 
No, he's also from Mumbai, I 

1503
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:47,920
believe. 
Like like originally from 

1504
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,319
Mumbai. 
So like he's played his entire 

1505
01:09:50,319 --> 01:09:52,880
career there and he actually 
showed up for for the for the 

1506
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,600
crowd, for the lads and made a 
game out of this. 

1507
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,600
What's interesting is that 
Abhishek Sharma went for a 

1508
01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,600
golden duck. 
And second golden duck in five 

1509
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:01,320
games. 
It's such an unusual dismissal 

1510
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,200
because I've never seen a 
fielder be at deep point for 

1511
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,280
Abhishek Sharma like it was. 
It was a wide ball full. 

1512
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:09,760
It was there to head. 
He mills that gets caught at 

1513
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:11,360
deep point. 
It's like deep cover point. 

1514
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,280
Great thing about Yashi Sports 
Presents Team USA is that they 

1515
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:16,600
actually have analytics guys 
that are like, you know what, 

1516
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,280
this guy likes to smash it. 
Don't have third man, don't find

1517
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,920
like have someone at square 
because he's going to go for it.

1518
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,640
And if he missed times it boom. 
And you know who takes the 

1519
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:29,560
wicket of Abhishek Sharma? 
Ali Khan, a right-handed pacer 

1520
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:33,320
swinging it away from him in the
arc right on your video. 

1521
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:38,360
I'm telling you, Yashi Sports 
Presents Team USA has seen I can

1522
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,760
confirm this has seen the 
backward point video where they 

1523
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:45,200
tell where we tell the genta how
to defeat. 

1524
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:48,400
He's certain Abhishek Sharma and
you know what it's happened 

1525
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,840
again. 
Ali Khan bowling Winfrey 45 plus

1526
01:10:53,480 --> 01:10:55,600
Pakistan origin bowler. 
Just it's in the it's in the 

1527
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,520
blood as John Mayer said it. 
There's no, there's no stopping 

1528
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,800
Pakistan bowlers which is giving
me if, if that game, sorry, if 

1529
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:05,600
that game happens on Sunday, 
Abhishek Sharma will not be 

1530
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:07,840
having a good outing. 
Ali Khan got injured and he 

1531
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:11,760
couldn't ball two more overs and
Aaron Jones is also out of the 

1532
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,400
USA team. 
So can we say India beat USAB 

1533
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:15,400
team? 
Anybody? 

1534
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:18,920
OK, moving on. 
But India was 4 to 6, four at 

1535
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:21,520
the power play and 76 for 776 
for seven. 

1536
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,480
Like that's this is a insane 
collapse. 

1537
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,080
Suryak and Moyada stepped up, he
was almost run the ball. 

1538
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:31,240
Sorry. 77 to 7 for six. 
Yep, and it would have been 

1539
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:32,920
tough, man. 
I'm telling you, I don't think 

1540
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,560
the sports yachty, the sports 
ducks, the odds ducks that this 

1541
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:38,720
ducks, the ducks would have. 
They wouldn't be able to do 

1542
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:40,840
this. 
The fact that if that game on 

1543
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,280
the 15 doesn't happen and the 
fact that they literally had to 

1544
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:45,920
take concessions from Team 
Pakistan to make it to the next 

1545
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:49,520
round would have been an insane,
insane development in the 

1546
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:53,880
rivalry of cricket that we've 
been so deeply talking about for

1547
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:55,760
the past three to four months, 
ever since the rivalry debate 

1548
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,000
has opened up. 
It would have been an insane 

1549
01:11:58,000 --> 01:11:59,720
turn of events. 
Obviously, that did not happen. 

1550
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,360
But the fact that India found 
themselves in that, the mighty 

1551
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,840
Indians found themselves in that
position where Vaughn Cadde was 

1552
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:09,360
quiet, Sports CIU was crying. 
I stuck, was melting. 

1553
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,960
Like I could not believe what I 
was seeing. 

1554
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,520
And if I'm being honest, I did 
not see it. 

1555
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:16,480
I was sleeping through it 
because again, we slept at six 

1556
01:12:16,480 --> 01:12:18,680
AM, 6:00 AM. 
We slept after that insane 

1557
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,200
Parkland Netherlands game. 
But when I woke up at 11, the 

1558
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:24,000
game was already halfway done 
and I was like, interested in 

1559
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,040
the chase. 
But Team USA, sorry, Ashley 

1560
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,960
Sports Presents, Team USA just 
don't have that kind of fire 

1561
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:31,520
firepower after Aaron Jones is 
gone. 

1562
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:33,840
And I'm not saying that Aaron 
Jones would have made a huge 

1563
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,960
dent into that 160 total that 
they were chasing, but it would 

1564
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:40,240
have been a positive movement. 
I just think India's a huge team

1565
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:41,600
man. 
This is they're playing at their

1566
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,960
home and there's just a lot of 
people screaming, man. 

1567
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,440
There's a lot of credits to 
Surya Kumari out there. 

1568
01:12:47,440 --> 01:12:49,800
I mean, he was in horrible form 
the last one year. 

1569
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:53,520
Lot of eyeballs on him and and 
criticism on his batting as when

1570
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:56,440
he's been captive for India. 
But today to come out and play 

1571
01:12:56,440 --> 01:12:59,720
the innings that he did, like he
was looking like the old sky 

1572
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,560
that you see in the IPL or used 
to play for India a couple of 

1573
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:04,320
years ago. 
He's playing all around the the 

1574
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:07,880
crease, hitting shots, 
manipulating the the fielding 

1575
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:10,280
positions. 
And if it wasn't for him, India 

1576
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:13,840
was out for like 1/21/30. 
What's interesting is a lot of, 

1577
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,200
like we mentioned, Pakistan 
Origin players playing for the 

1578
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,200
Team USA. 
Rangu Singh was dismissed by 

1579
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,640
Pakistan Under 19's team member 
Mohamed Osen. 

1580
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:23,360
Did they shake hands after the 
match? 

1581
01:13:23,480 --> 01:13:25,040
I did not see but I'm assuming 
so. 

1582
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:27,480
I mean, you know, if you have a 
dual passport, does that not 

1583
01:13:27,480 --> 01:13:29,160
even make? 
That's the same thing, right? 

1584
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:31,360
How do they get the visas? 
Yo, I was going to say this like

1585
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,400
who's the hell is issuing the 
Mohamed Osen and Ali Khan visas,

1586
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:34,640
man? 
Why don't we get visas? 

1587
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:37,360
What do we got to do? 
You should also ask Saad Zafar 

1588
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:38,600
how he got the visa. 
He was. 

1589
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:41,600
He's in Gujarat. 
Today, is he, he's practicing at

1590
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:43,560
the Narendra Modi Stadium, 
Ahmedabad. 

1591
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:44,720
Yeah. 
Shout out to Modi. 

1592
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:48,400
That's a crazy thing to say. 
Shout out to Modi. 

1593
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:51,920
Yeah. 
Like, interesting. 

1594
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:53,720
The song. 
I'm going to say a lot of a lot 

1595
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:57,360
of there's, I think a Pakistani 
bowler in the Scottish team as 

1596
01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:02,440
well that was playing in India. 
And Sufyan Sharif, yes, if you 

1597
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:05,360
obviously like Pakistan is one 
of the great exports of 

1598
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:07,600
immigrants in the world and a 
lot of good cricketers have 

1599
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:09,320
played for different countries 
as well. 

1600
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:13,080
And so you might find a lot of 
those around just a little bit 

1601
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:15,400
an interesting little 
development there when it comes 

1602
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:19,360
to who's from where and and why.
Sky just been ballistic the last

1603
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:22,680
I want to say 5 or 6 overs of 
the match and he particularly 

1604
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,560
talked Sword of Death Row Walker
to the cleaners. 65 and four he 

1605
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:30,360
gave wild Good bag from Sky, bad
balling from Team USA. 

1606
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,760
Yeah, but where do you? 
Even ball this guy when he's 

1607
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:36,280
ball like when he's playing so 
good, but he he was doing a lot 

1608
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,320
of the he was moving, shuffling 
a lot. 

1609
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:41,480
He was trying to angle the fine 
leg, square leg boundary. 

1610
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,080
My my beef with that situation 
because I was watching and I 

1611
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:46,680
wanted to see what fielders were
placed. 

1612
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:51,360
No define like I'm not saying 
that because a lot of the shots 

1613
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:55,640
went for six anyways, but you at
least challenge the batsman in 

1614
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,800
some sort of way that that he 
might he may think twice to even

1615
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:00,200
attack that maybe he'd go inside
out. 

1616
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:03,200
Maybe he'd do something 
different, but Surah Nether 

1617
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:06,040
Volcker, Netra Volcker kept 
bowling him in the arc. 

1618
01:15:06,440 --> 01:15:08,080
Nothing. 
No change of pace, no, no short 

1619
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,040
balls. 
It's in the arc hoping that it 

1620
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,880
swings back or swings away and 
this guy was too good, man. 

1621
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:14,200
It's. 
Just a horrible day for Soloto 

1622
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:17,680
because everybody else is sort 
of under the aid economy and 

1623
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:20,800
it's only him. 
Was gone for twice that 16.25 

1624
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:23,440
economy there. 
Yeah, tough. 

1625
01:15:23,440 --> 01:15:27,280
When USA came to bat, India just
took them in the power play. 

1626
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:29,920
They were three down and 
Boomerang was on the bench. 

1627
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:33,200
So India's still protecting 
Bumrah, managing his work. 

1628
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:34,640
Was he in the 11 or just didn't 
play today? 

1629
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:38,080
He's in the squad but he's on 
the bench, not playing and I 

1630
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:40,680
think Harshadan is also injured 
so Siraj comes in for. 

1631
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:42,840
A ride Siraj 48 hours ago did 
not know he was going to play 

1632
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:44,360
the world. 
Cup, and here he was. 

1633
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:47,200
He almost actually caught a 
blinder on short third. 

1634
01:15:47,480 --> 01:15:51,120
I saw this, he was parallel on 
the ground and nearly caught a 

1635
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:53,040
amazing catch. 
Would've been a great catch if 

1636
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:54,720
he did that. 
And then the relay catch we saw 

1637
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:56,240
earlier in the day. 
This would've been a great 

1638
01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:59,600
fielding operation from from 
from the LATS USA batters. 

1639
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:03,000
They scrapped to 132. 
There was some impressive knocks

1640
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:07,160
by Sanjay Krishnamoorthy. 
We saw him play for the Unicorns

1641
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:10,360
in the MLC and he seemed to have
some potential. 

1642
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:13,680
So hopefully games like this and
the games against Pakistan and 

1643
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:16,080
Netherlands will give them more 
exposure and they'll get better 

1644
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:17,840
as a team. 
It was Speaking of Sanjay 

1645
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:19,040
Krishnamoorthy. 
You know who I saw? 

1646
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:20,720
He was on a podcast with Grace 
Hayden. 

1647
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:22,960
You know, Grace Hayden's doing a
podcast for Willow TV. 

1648
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:25,240
You know this, I know this. 
Don't even get me sorted. 

1649
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:27,440
OK, well anyway, that's why I'm 
on there, a lot of Canadian 

1650
01:16:27,440 --> 01:16:28,760
players. 
Look at my face and look at 

1651
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:30,880
Grace Hayden's face. 
There's a reason why they're 

1652
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:31,880
going to hire her. 
Over us. 

1653
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:38,680
Yeah, Grace is doing good for 
the ICC digital stuff, but I saw

1654
01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:40,280
that podcast with Sanjay Krishna
Moorthy as well. 

1655
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:44,800
And yeah, I think our face is 
made for podcasting, especially 

1656
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:47,080
for listening, not for viewing. 
Someone said. 

1657
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,200
Race is made for viewing. 
I have a face for radio. 

1658
01:16:49,440 --> 01:16:52,680
Face for Radio, That's us 
Backward Point Podcast good 

1659
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:54,120
morning. 
I think all the teams that were 

1660
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:56,720
supposed to win one with a 
little bit of a hiccup here and 

1661
01:16:56,720 --> 01:17:00,000
there but you know 2 points in 
the back for I2 points in the 

1662
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,040
back for Pakistan. 
The next game for Pakistan is 

1663
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:06,120
against the USA on Tuesday. 
We will not be going live for 

1664
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:08,480
that game. 
I am flying, travelling during 

1665
01:17:08,480 --> 01:17:11,280
that time and I don't think 
Bashar has the Bashar has the 

1666
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:14,240
kahunas to pull that off alone 
and so. 

1667
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:15,640
We will help him. 
We will. 

1668
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:18,920
Probably be following and doing 
a post match later in the day 

1669
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:20,400
after that game. 
When is India's next game? 

1670
01:17:20,440 --> 01:17:21,560
You know who are they playing 
next? 

1671
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:23,880
Netherlands, can we do a Fact 
Check on that you? 

1672
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,440
Can find out. 
Yes, playing Namibia on. 

1673
01:17:26,440 --> 01:17:31,200
Thursday on Thursday, so Tuesday
is Pakistan, USA, India and 

1674
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:33,160
Namibia on Thursday. 
And then and then. 

1675
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:36,560
The game on Sunday is India 
against Pakistan. 

1676
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,160
India against nobody. 
OK, they against. 

1677
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:40,600
Ghosts, but they still have to 
travel to. 

1678
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:42,280
They gotta, they gotta do 
everything, yeah. 

1679
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:44,000
They gotta be the toss it has. 
To be for the toss. 

1680
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:46,960
So will the toss have one 
presenter or two presenters? 

1681
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:50,080
Because in the Asia final we had
Ravi Chastity and the car units.

1682
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:52,720
It's a very good question and to
which an answer will not be 

1683
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:54,320
given to you, right? 
Now who's going to be the master

1684
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:55,360
free? 
Sauce. 

1685
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:57,840
Andy Peckoff, I believe is I've 
heard from Mr. Jayshaw, 

1686
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:00,760
correspondent of Backward Point 
that Andy Beckoff had been 

1687
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:03,640
reinstated just for vibes. 
How do you how do you deal with 

1688
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:05,480
the skill meter thing that that 
they kept showing? 

1689
01:18:05,480 --> 01:18:06,640
How do you how do you that's 
interesting. 

1690
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:08,600
How do you calculate that metric
is what I want to know. 

1691
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,920
Yeah, it's it's so interesting. 
I'd love to see the skill metric

1692
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:13,800
on someone like Virat Kohli or 
Bumrah. 

1693
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,160
What was Barbara skill meter? 
I don't remember seeing that. 

1694
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,400
I don't remember. 
I don't remember seeing it. 

1695
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:22,120
I remember the the skill meters 
on the Dutch pad was just like 

1696
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:24,480
50s and 60s. 
So mean that's embarrassing like

1697
01:18:24,480 --> 01:18:27,080
Bastilita is like a a. 
Decent bowler, like he's pretty 

1698
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:29,760
good and he can hold it back. 
I don't know, I wonder how they 

1699
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:31,280
made those metrics. 
Like what was the? 

1700
01:18:31,440 --> 01:18:33,400
Vibes, yeah, vibes. 
I I do. 

1701
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:36,000
I do want to give props to the 
Star Sports. 

1702
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,440
I believe Star Sports is 
producing this right with the 

1703
01:18:38,440 --> 01:18:40,480
help of the ICC. 
Great, great production. 

1704
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:43,280
They had this graphic where was 
mono Khan was running and they 

1705
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:49,000
showed like the worm, how fast 
he ran, how long he ran, how far

1706
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,400
he ran, like all that stuff. 
I, I'm always into like little 

1707
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:56,000
stats pieces here and there. 
You have more of that please, 

1708
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:58,440
