Cricket LOST while India are CHAMPS! | India Vs Pakistan Asia Cup Final Review | EP 223

Interactive Transcript

spk_0 If you think that the giveaway winner is going to take a few minutes, just do it or not.

spk_0 I answered.

spk_0 No, I want to say on this.

spk_0 We'll do it on the stories tomorrow.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 Three, two, one.

spk_0 Apologies if this podcast is a little bit late.

spk_0 Bashar took his mics away and went to his room and I waited for 45 minutes for the press

spk_0 conference.

spk_0 I mean, for the podcast to start until Bashar brought the mics and the cameras back, I

spk_0 had to go in and take them away from them and on the other side of the stream, I was

spk_0 able to set up the cameras and now we are back.

spk_0 And our late kind of similar to what has happened many times in this Asia Cup, an Asia Cup

spk_0 worth remembering for all the wrong reasons.

spk_0 As you see, 22nd and this podcast and I have not even mentioned who has won this Asia

spk_0 Cup because it feels like at this moment, it's quite irrelevant.

spk_0 But India still, the Asia Cup away from Pakistan, they find a way to make inroads and continue

spk_0 to be the number one team and make sure that Pakistan remain to be the number two team.

spk_0 What an insanely fulfilling T20 match final we got.

spk_0 Unfortunately, as it is the case, we will be starting with whatever happened after the

spk_0 match and before the match.

spk_0 And with me as always, my brother and my co-host Bashar say, yeah, Bashar, blue hat guy again,

spk_0 I am green hat guy.

spk_0 There's going to be a lot of our friends or Indian friends and Indian friends across the

spk_0 border in the cricket team fans.

spk_0 We're going to be watching this podcast before I turn the camera on to you.

spk_0 Please subscribe.

spk_0 I would love it if you subscribe.

spk_0 It would be so good.

spk_0 I know you guys have had a really good link, a really good win.

spk_0 Why not come onto this podcast?

spk_0 Enjoy our meltdown.

spk_0 That's the same as I hit subscribe so that everybody gets everybody gets to reap the

spk_0 fruit of this labor.

spk_0 Yeah, India is the Asia Cup champions.

spk_0 They walked in this tournament as favorites.

spk_0 They were the defending champions and Pakistan a number seven ranked team almost gave India

spk_0 a heart attack, chasing 147 India.

spk_0 Twenty further three.

spk_0 There was a scene in the dugout where sky, Abhishek Sharma, Shabban Gil.

spk_0 It's in together.

spk_0 Hand hand captain, vice captain in the training kit jersey.

spk_0 Highest run score all the day out.

spk_0 What a what a moment that was for as a boxing cricket fan, but we'll talk about all of that.

spk_0 It was an insanely fulfilling game, but I don't know if he'll be able to even cover the

spk_0 game today.

spk_0 I'm pretty sure you definitely try to bring me back into the into the cricket and nest

spk_0 of it all, but post my drama first.

spk_0 Look, why not my favorite movies by Christopher Nolan is tenet.

spk_0 Yeah, and tenet happens in reverse.

spk_0 In reverse.

spk_0 Yeah, this is the tenet podcast.

spk_0 So what happened?

spk_0 As it happened yet.

spk_0 What happened?

spk_0 That's an happened yet.

spk_0 I love that.

spk_0 That's also funny because the Indian team knew what's going to happen post match.

spk_0 They knew the trophy will be given by the ACC president, Mohsen Nakvi.

spk_0 As the last two years, he was given by Jey Shah to Rohit Sharma.

spk_0 So not sure what the surprises you are.

spk_0 And so first and foremost, the post match ceremony started about 45 minutes to an hour

spk_0 late.

spk_0 Never happens.

spk_0 Apparently the box on the page went into the dugout did not come out.

spk_0 When they came out, everybody was in slippers.

spk_0 I don't know exactly what's going on.

spk_0 We don't have a reporter on the ground.

spk_0 The guy who was on ground for us, I'm going to be left because he was like, man, this sucks.

spk_0 So we don't exactly know what happened.

spk_0 Why there was a huge delay.

spk_0 Once the post match started, it felt like it was quite normal.

spk_0 And then, you know, box on came, got their awards.

spk_0 Everything of Boxing and Fury came, got booed heavily by the handful of Indian fans

spk_0 in stands.

spk_0 Oh my God.

spk_0 Was that a sight to see?

spk_0 Well, if you can't expect the Indian cricketers to have any sort of sportsman spirit,

spk_0 spirit of cricket, how can you expect the Indian fans to have the same spirit of congratulating

spk_0 the finalists?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 None of that was to be found.

spk_0 I want to get a little bit of context just before we get into this exact drama.

spk_0 On this podcast, we have straight away from talking about politics.

spk_0 It's only when the IPL got suspended and the PSL got suspended at the same time, we

spk_0 have to come here, talk about what happened.

spk_0 And then it was only until the first in-diversist box on match in the A-Shuckup where the handshake

spk_0 gained happened, the dedication to armed forces happened that we had to come out here and

spk_0 call out what's going on.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And the sport of cricket, as we know it, is being corrupted, is being politicized right

spk_0 in front of our eyes.

spk_0 And yeah, and we can all thank the BCCI and the Indian players for their fulfillment.

spk_0 And the Indian government.

spk_0 We'll talk about Mr. Modi's tweet in a bit as well.

spk_0 So all the players come, you know, player of the tournament is awarded, player of the matches

spk_0 awarded, a game changer of the matches awarded.

spk_0 And Simon Dool says, as per the ACC and the Indian cricket team, the UK team does

spk_0 not wish to collect their trophies.

spk_0 No, he says, and I call it, I have been informed by the ACC that the Indian cricket team will

spk_0 not be collecting their awards tonight.

spk_0 Boom.

spk_0 And press conference.

spk_0 Goodbye.

spk_0 There's no trophy given.

spk_0 There's no medals given to the champion players.

spk_0 And so the Indian players, they actually, they celebrate without a trophy.

spk_0 So they post pictures on Instagram.

spk_0 I don't know if you've seen this, but they put a trophy emoji with the trophy should have

spk_0 been.

spk_0 This is Abhishek Sharma.

spk_0 This is the luck.

spk_0 Good fun on them.

spk_0 And they sort of celebrate and imagine a trophy in their hands.

spk_0 And shouldn't that that's the most disgraceful, embarrassing thing as a winner.

spk_0 That should not be the case.

spk_0 You have won fair and square this entire tournament and beaten.

spk_0 Got a couple of scares here and there, but you should have the right to go up on stage

spk_0 and celebrate as you like, as you wish.

spk_0 Why should anybody be anyone from the politics from the country?

spk_0 Anybody come out and tell you that you're not allowed to do that?

spk_0 Sky and the Post-Match said that he has never seen anything like this since he started

spk_0 playing cricket.

spk_0 Now I have been watching cricket the past 20 years.

spk_0 It would happen in the first match and there was a box on.

spk_0 No handshakes at the toss.

spk_0 No handshakes post-match.

spk_0 I have never seen that happen in my entire life.

spk_0 And I'm sure that all the games that Sky has played in his career, he has never done such

spk_0 an act before.

spk_0 So just a new low that keeps happening in this A-Shuckup every single match.

spk_0 We thought we had rock bottom in the first on the 14th, but the Indicator team find a

spk_0 new way every time to find another low lower than that and hit it and meet it as strongly

spk_0 as possible.

spk_0 I mean, we united sit here across from each other.

spk_0 I think pretty singularly saying that this was an abomination.

spk_0 This should not have happened.

spk_0 Indian cricket team deserve a celebrate the way that they want to celebrate with trophy.

spk_0 Somebody should have gotten and received that trophy from the ACC president as whether

spk_0 it be Morning Woke or I thought I heard it was Morning Woke or who's going to go receive

spk_0 that trophy as the coach and then come out and bring it to the players, which is fine

spk_0 as well.

spk_0 But it's been, man, again, cricket is somewhere in the background, somewhere in the rear

spk_0 view.

spk_0 You can look at it as it passes by and everything else that we're talking about has become

spk_0 the forefront.

spk_0 Just be boom, bro.

spk_0 I'm taking a wicked.

spk_0 Does the plane celebration the same one that they had issues about Indian cricket players

spk_0 and Indian cricket fans had issues about when Harris Roe was at it and we did not condone

spk_0 that behavior then we condemned it actually came out as a despicable disrespectful.

spk_0 I don't think you should do that.

spk_0 Whatever the case may be.

spk_0 Not only was it done by just be boom, but it was done by Harris Roe again and I think

spk_0 I saw a shahin do it as well and also to the quorum at the end and to the quorum at

spk_0 the end.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 So I guess now this is just the way we celebrate now.

spk_0 We talk about war and people dying.

spk_0 Here's the thing.

spk_0 Because of what's guided in the first match, there's no end to this.

spk_0 You can have fines, you can have bands here and there.

spk_0 But at what point do you stop and do other teams start doing this as well?

spk_0 I'm really glad that Asam Agnara had a press conference after her studio and Abhishek

spk_0 and he said some things that I think are.

spk_0 He said what India is doing to the sport of cricket.

spk_0 Let me just disrespectful.

spk_0 Let me go one word by word.

spk_0 This is for the Indian great fans and people who have not listened to Aga's pressur.

spk_0 Here's the main just.

spk_0 This is what Aga said and I quote, but India have done to this tournament is very disappointing.

spk_0 They're not disrespecting us by not shaking our hands.

spk_0 They're disrespecting cricket.

spk_0 Good teams don't do what they did today.

spk_0 We went to post with the trophy on our own because we wanted to fulfill our obligations.

spk_0 We stood there and took our medals.

spk_0 I don't want to use your harsh words, but they've been very disrespectful.

spk_0 Aga also said he shook hands with me in private at the start of the tournament.

spk_0 Both at the pre-tournament press conference and when we met in the referees meeting.

spk_0 But when they're out in the world in front of the camera, they don't shake our hands.

spk_0 I'm sure he's following the instructions he's given, but if it was up to me, he'd shake hands with me.

spk_0 Again, these players are just following the guidelines by the BCCI, which has been given guidelines by the Indian government.

spk_0 So I won't necessarily blame the players, but it's just the stance that the Indian government has taken.

spk_0 But I think it's a bit of a, I talked about it before.

spk_0 It's a critical stance.

spk_0 I blame the boxline by laterals, but we'll play them in multi-pneedian tournaments.

spk_0 We'll play them, but we won't talk to them.

spk_0 We'll make eye contact with them.

spk_0 We want to shake hands with them.

spk_0 And it's just a law-opsided behavior.

spk_0 I have the Indian cricket captain to blame for some other stuff, which we're covering as the podcast progresses.

spk_0 Progressive, you actually get into the game of it all.

spk_0 But I'm really glad that Aga had the opportunity to say that because I think we hadn't really heard

spk_0 statements straight from the boxline cricket team captain.

spk_0 We heard a lot from Indian cricket team captain.

spk_0 You know, more than we would have liked.

spk_0 But as it stands right now, I'm glad that Aga came out to that peace.

spk_0 I also want to note there was a little bit more drama in the press conference when Yayao Sani from Jiu stood up and thanked

spk_0 name name the piece of my boy name.

spk_0 I don't know.

spk_0 PCV's media manager for taking not only Pakistani journalist questions, but Indian journalist questions as well,

spk_0 because his counterpart from the Indian side did not take any boxline journalist questions to

spk_0 to what I heard after that was a huge uproar from the Indian journalists.

spk_0 And there was like a lot of skirmish and then there was like a 30 second little window where it's everybody

spk_0 talking and they kind of died down.

spk_0 And Yayao Sani continued to his question.

spk_0 And then I did notice name took a lot of Indian journalist questions who asked tough questions.

spk_0 And Aga answered them all.

spk_0 Sky was asked one tough question by a boxline journalist on his behavior at the tournament.

spk_0 The no handshake thing.

spk_0 There's quite a long winded question.

spk_0 What did he say?

spk_0 I did.

spk_0 But I did not see sky sky wanted to respond, but the Indian media manager had advised sky not to respond to that.

spk_0 And so I guess that was the end of any questions of the box.

spk_0 One more.

spk_0 What more was that going to happen?

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 If you should have your captain media training enough to answer the difficult questions like this.

spk_0 This is this is part and parcel of the job.

spk_0 This is what we do.

spk_0 And then park Aga was answered asked tough questions about not attending to pre match press conferences to which Aga said who started this?

spk_0 Who started this?

spk_0 Like there is no end to this now.

spk_0 We can take it as far and why does we want from both sides because these are unprecedented rules were playing on unprecedented grounds were playing on.

spk_0 And I mean, it was obviously shameful to see this.

spk_0 I think if it were in the other way of box and hand one, I think there would have been similar situations happening from the Indian dugout.

spk_0 And which we would have again, if box and we're being sore winners like I like I tweeted from our account that India are the biggest sore winners I've ever seen in my entire life.

spk_0 Ever seen in my entire life.

spk_0 And we'll talk about more on sportsman spirit.

spk_0 We'll talk about more on game gamesmanship.

spk_0 We'll talk more about what is actually ethical in the game.

spk_0 What are rules and what what is ethical gone other days when a man Khan brings back the Indian captain in a test match and then it gets him out again and

spk_0 if you deliver his dawn of the days when you people are repealing their appeals.

spk_0 People are out here repealing for objection of field in a final.

spk_0 I mean, what do you expect?

spk_0 I mean, if that's going to make you score runs man, then go for it.

spk_0 Let's go to the toss.

spk_0 10 minutes.

spk_0 Toss now.

spk_0 No, we're still into the controversy.

spk_0 Yeah, the drama is not over yet.

spk_0 The drama is not over yet.

spk_0 And for you, things you have never seen in your life watching cricket.

spk_0 Salman Ara in sky come into the toss and there's not one, but two presenters.

spk_0 You know what I mean?

spk_0 We think about you and I have a shot at presenting in the IC events.

spk_0 You can show your Canadian passport and be like, I'm not Pakistani talk to sky.

spk_0 I need to be Pakistani and I cop and talk to a

spk_0 This is open doors for us that you and I don't even know about.

spk_0 Robbie Chastri and Vagar Unis are at the toss.

spk_0 We're talking to each other.

spk_0 In the comms box.

spk_0 They were.

spk_0 Shaz and Raja friends apparently.

spk_0 Yeah, there was also a change in the match.

spk_0 A free Richard Richardson was now the match referee.

spk_0 And the post-match ceremony took so long.

spk_0 Richard, you're supposed to have to take a flight to go to India.

spk_0 Let's go.

spk_0 He was gone.

spk_0 Let's go.

spk_0 Even there.

spk_0 India wins the toss.

spk_0 They both first sky only talks to the Beach Austria.

spk_0 He announces the team.

spk_0 He says there's one change.

spk_0 The heartic band is not fit.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 So again, I did not see the toss.

spk_0 Where's Ara in the dark?

spk_0 I mean, so I'll ask at the background.

spk_0 There's again, there's no eye contact at all between Ara and Sky.

spk_0 It's just so weird to watch.

spk_0 It's as if you know, back in middle school,

spk_0 you have beef with somebody in your class.

spk_0 Bro, and just like you're avoiding eye contact.

spk_0 And you're like, you know the person is there, but you just don't acknowledge this.

spk_0 In grade nine, I said it's a page on chat.

spk_0 In grade nine, there was a girl I liked.

spk_0 I had a crush on who we had this weird fight or whatever.

spk_0 And she wasn't talking to me.

spk_0 So she was standing in the middle.

spk_0 She was standing on the corner.

spk_0 I was talking to her friend who would tell the same exact thing that I said to her,

spk_0 which she was listening to to this girl.

spk_0 And then she would say something to like it was like that.

spk_0 It was like a phone and it reminded me of that.

spk_0 Congratulations.

spk_0 The BCC IPCB, ICC, ACC, everyone has brought us back to grade nine, 2009.

spk_0 Sky announced that hardly find out.

spk_0 He has a quadniggle and they've actually announced a rink of saying as a replacement.

spk_0 So that happens.

spk_0 And then Salman Aliallah talks to Vakar Unis.

spk_0 So I think what happened is that they wanted,

spk_0 ideally, a neutral commentator on the pitch as a presenter for toss.

spk_0 Could be Simon dual, could be my caseman, but I think Refugee,

spk_0 Shostri or the BCC ICC insisted that it should be Ravi at the toss because he's sort of

spk_0 an iconic person at the toss.

spk_0 Sure.

spk_0 And now it's going to get in a really grand way if you want to say sure.

spk_0

spk_0 Why why wasn't it the match referee there just he's the neutral guy.

spk_0 Could be interesting.

spk_0 He's not Andy Packer office.

spk_0 There's no beef there.

spk_0 Just Richard.

spk_0 Justin vibes.

spk_0 So India ball for us automatically they're at an advantage because the last six matches,

spk_0 including this one in the way between the rest of August on the 20s,

spk_0 having won by teams chasing.

spk_0 So there seems to be a definitive chasing advantage here,

spk_0 even though there's not a lot of doing offer.

spk_0 Maybe the pitch gets better as the game goes on and Sky has been consistently

spk_0 choosing the top winning the toss and bowling first backing his,

spk_0 his batting line up to chase us down.

spk_0 Now when I saw this, I was not really peaked.

spk_0 I was like, this might be actually a good thing in box.

spk_0 And also the hot bond yet out of the final and you get a batsman replacement full strength.

spk_0 The means that you have a fourth and fifth, a fifth and six balling option in crisis

spk_0 in the Indian team, which I thought box and should have.

spk_0 I was talking about box on the thing that box.

spk_0 I should have really capitalized on that of no fourth and fifth boulder technically.

spk_0 We have talked about continuous on this podcast.

spk_0 How hard that bandia is an anomaly.

spk_0 Yeah, he's a he's a one of one cheat code in Rolls-Private.

spk_0 It's him.

spk_0 It's Ben Stokes.

spk_0 Nobody else really who can play in a team as a specialist boulder and a special

spk_0 his bestman like it.

spk_0 The fact that India only has one hard dick bandia at the last 10 years show how

spk_0 special he is.

spk_0 And for him to be out of the team, somebody who's been bowling the new ball,

spk_0 bandit number five, number six, cool guy composed as game sense backs himself.

spk_0 And for box on to realize he's not playing because he always turns up against

spk_0 box on he loves big matches and what bigger match in the final against box.

spk_0 But this is the second final he's missed due to injury.

spk_0 And this almost I would say would have cost in India back to back.

spk_0 Last one he missed was the the World Cup 2023.

spk_0 Who could forget that?

spk_0 And then straight here this if not bigger high octane match than this with the

spk_0 circumstances and what we've discussed in the first few minutes of this podcast.

spk_0 This would have been two for two for a bandia.

spk_0 I think Pakistan has missed two opportunities to beat India on back to back

spk_0 Sundays.

spk_0 Last Sunday, I agree I had one of their worst fielding days in six years.

spk_0 They've never dropped so many catches in six years.

spk_0 Even today,

spk_0 Park India were very slippery in the field.

spk_0 Not the ground fielding ground fielding was very slippery.

spk_0 Butterfingers not really collecting the ball on merit,

spk_0 spumbling.

spk_0 And I still think Pakistan had the opportunity to take those doubles in the

spk_0 triples or take those singles in the doubles and they didn't really capitalize on that.

spk_0 Pakistan go into the bad in power play unchanged their team.

spk_0 There was a lot of questions marks of Will Hassan Nawaz replace was sent to let

spk_0 the live stream was available.

spk_0 You and I both said anything over 16170 because I'm going to look at the page

spk_0 inside this is a good pitch 16170 is definitely up here.

spk_0 But if you score 16170,

spk_0 161 feel like 181 7.

spk_0 You're like, when on this specific pitch,

spk_0 the parse score the last five years was 154.

spk_0 So I just think I know I will talk about it later,

spk_0 but Pakistan just struggling to put up a good total and not realizing what

spk_0 actually is a good pars for on a specific pitch.

spk_0 Pakistan had made 154.

spk_0 They probably would have one.

spk_0 Looking at what happened to the match probably probably probably.

spk_0 So I think even in part would have been justified with the bowling lineup that we had

spk_0 and the way that we came prepared the second innings, but in the first

spk_0 innings, we should have told you,

spk_0 Pakistan will be 45 for zero in the power play.

spk_0 Would you have taken it?

spk_0 I would have said let's be 55 for one.

spk_0 45 for zero.

spk_0 I think it's a bit low,

spk_0 especially considering how these games in this Asia cup in Dubai have progressed.

spk_0 It's typically the pattern is you score big in the power play.

spk_0 You slow down in the middle of the

spk_0 overs and you go absolutely berserk for the last four overs.

spk_0 So Pakistan being 45 for zero also considering it's a very important point.

spk_0 They had two overs of Shifem Dubhich.

spk_0 Shifem Dubhich is a part time baller.

spk_0 He does not ball in the IPO.

spk_0 He balls at 130 clicks max and he's not a regular baller.

spk_0 He's been building as India six balling option.

spk_0 This Asia cup is building in the middle of the overs,

spk_0 a balling cutters, good length balls.

spk_0 And here you are in a big Asia cup final.

spk_0 Against Farhan against Fukar Zaman.

spk_0 And he goes for two overs, 12 runs.

spk_0 He had a better problem than just be the remember.

spk_0 One rubber band for 18 and two overs.

spk_0 Take that in. That's crazy.

spk_0 I don't so it was Farhan was a culprit of this.

spk_0 Four straight dot balls hits him.

spk_0 It's a four then.

spk_0 And I think it takes a single after that.

spk_0 So five in this first over four.

spk_0 Just one boundary of five dots in the power play.

spk_0 That first over should have gone for 15.

spk_0 A lot of it is actually I actually I want to get credit to it.

spk_0 Do it because he balled outside of Farhan's hitting arc.

spk_0 It was outside of off.

spk_0 Swinging it away swinging away.

spk_0 And for how we've noticed does not really have a lot of foot movement.

spk_0 Like against Pacer's just he's just kind of a stand deliver guy.

spk_0 And he needs the ball to be in his arc.

spk_0 Yeah, for him to actually go ballistic.

spk_0 Anything you know, boomerah ball a couple of balls in his arc is one actually good.

spk_0 Like ball top of off.

spk_0 So he pulled it for four slower delivery hit it for six over long off.

spk_0 So Farhan is good in that.

spk_0 Or yeah, but anything that's not in his hitting arc.

spk_0 He has no foot movement to go near the ball and hit it where the ball needs to be hit.

spk_0 He took kind of like forces balls towards in the V and also towards the leg side particularly.

spk_0 For Hansel managed to get away because he ended up with 150 straight grade.

spk_0 My problem is with fuckers one.

spk_0 For the other thing run a ball in the power play.

spk_0 This entire power play and he's the guy that I expect to actually launch and he wasn't able to do that.

spk_0 And I said it before I'll say it again.

spk_0 Even the fucker got 46 of 35.

spk_0 I expected him to get 46 of 25.

spk_0 He's in the team for experience for being a big match player.

spk_0 And play it's low.

spk_0 So right.

spk_0 I don't want to be too hard.

spk_0 But his 46 runs he never looked too comfortable on the pitch.

spk_0 No, what is it?

spk_0 My name is the semi-final ending.

spk_0 I get Rizwan had against Australia in 2021.

spk_0 What 60 or 49 or something.

spk_0 I still think fuckers Blackweight was better than Rizwan that day.

spk_0 Yes, it was, but it was very reminiscent of that because he was sort of anchoring the endings.

spk_0 But the endings wasn't really going anywhere.

spk_0 Not a lot of singles.

spk_0 He had four boundaries and two of those came after the power play.

spk_0 So he didn't really utilize the power play as well.

spk_0 He was 12 off 11 in the power play.

spk_0 He was getting stuck and the fucker that I want to not be 12 off 11.

spk_0 He should be 25 off 11 or 20 off 11.

spk_0 The three overs post power play.

spk_0 Bokasan scored 32 runs and that includes overs from Guilip.

spk_0 Bokasan took Guilip for 24 runs in two overs.

spk_0 That is a beautiful counterattack against India's highest wicket taker.

spk_0 Distornament.

spk_0 They hit him for sixes.

spk_0 They hit him for fours.

spk_0 They caught singles and doubles off of him.

spk_0 Bokasan's dull block percentage was down considerably from their first batch against India.

spk_0 There's improvements there.

spk_0 I thought that Pakistan actually really capitalized after they had a like a,

spk_0 I wouldn't say the best start, but a solid start in 45 for zero in the power play.

spk_0 They really took up the anti after that.

spk_0 And that's where Sahaja was sort of launched himself.

spk_0 The partnership between Sahaja and fucker.

spk_0 84 off 58.

spk_0 23 off 20.

spk_0 A fucker which is again the problem here.

spk_0 That's the issue I think.

spk_0 And 37 off 38 from from for Han.

spk_0 For Han's back to back 50s against India.

spk_0 They match player.

spk_0 Is he the new for?

spk_0 Is he the new fucker?

spk_0 Look he's good.

spk_0 I think I like him.

spk_0 I think he has a lot of potential.

spk_0 The problem here.

spk_0 I think the issue still remains the same.

spk_0 They sit together.

spk_0 Rotation of strike.

spk_0 That plus also not really

spk_0 Ulyssian power play.

spk_0 The reason why Rizwan Barber are not in the team,

spk_0 and I made a clip on this,

spk_0 is because of this strike rates in the power play.

spk_0 Pakistan was hesitant to defensive in the power play.

spk_0 And looking at Pakistan scores in this Asia Cup in the power play.

spk_0 I think aside from the game against India,

spk_0 the second match where I believe there were 51 runs

spk_0 and out of defiance in the power play.

spk_0 They never really got a good start.

spk_0 They've either lost too many weights or they've been defensive.

spk_0 And I still think the issue is still right there.

spk_0 You know, it's the top order not hitting too hard.

spk_0 It's the middle of the closing.

spk_0 And I mean, despite that for Han did get a 57 off 38 balls.

spk_0 Yeah, 150 strike rate.

spk_0 I think he covered it up really well.

spk_0 I still think I totally agree with you.

spk_0 I think the power play should have ended with 55 for one.

spk_0 If not, 35 for zero.

spk_0 And that 10 one difference, you know,

spk_0 is that you can catch up near the middle or the end.

spk_0 But you need to have that solid start

spk_0 because you cannot be wasting balls in power play.

spk_0 That's a freebie for you.

spk_0 Forgot to go out.

spk_0 So Saadalang was tied to that for Han and got out.

spk_0 At hit at six.

spk_0 And then he, I think it was a short one that he wanted to pull again.

spk_0 And he just did not connect it and got out.

spk_0 He was really livid with himself.

spk_0 Because I think he now felt like he was seeing the ball really well.

spk_0 He understood the cadence of the pitch really well.

spk_0 And he was going to attack regularly.

spk_0 Is what I felt like he was very depound.

spk_0 As they say.

spk_0 And he got he gets out.

spk_0 Simon you walks in the carage and the peaking.

spk_0 He made the chat blew up with garage garage garage.

spk_0 I want to sign perform.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Who doesn't?

spk_0 I think Simon wants himself to perform.

spk_0 And as soon as Simon came on, do we came on?

spk_0 And I was like, being rode a sky here with the positive

spk_0 cap and see, you know, I was like,

spk_0 because we got him out last match, right?

spk_0 Exactly.

spk_0 And the pace off thing was working.

spk_0 And it said Simon hit the bay for two fours back to back.

spk_0 And that's that was like, oh my god.

spk_0 10th times day.

spk_0 Even with for Han being out,

spk_0 the fuckers amount in Simon you partnership was 29 off 19,

spk_0 which is great.

spk_0 Which is what I would take.

spk_0 If you're aiming for 171-180,

spk_0 this is probably the right amount of balls for the right amount of runs.

spk_0 And then Gleep came into attack.

spk_0 And this is where it showed so evidently how out of form

spk_0 Simon was both mentally and physically in this cricket game.

spk_0 You know, Fatiti might have been how exhausted he was.

spk_0 It might be for having four ducks in a tournament.

spk_0 Gleep out of again as a wristman right understands it's very easily.

spk_0 You have a packed off side field.

spk_0 You ball loop the outside of off stump and you break it away

spk_0 and you make sure the batsman is short enough.

spk_0 It's short enough that the batsman wants to cut it

spk_0 and it touched straight to backward point all the time.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 And so what's that?

spk_0 This is like the setup that Gleep had, which was really good.

spk_0 I really appreciated that.

spk_0 And as a wristman or myself loved it.

spk_0 Way off side off.

spk_0 The ball bouncing, turning away.

spk_0 He cut it straight to, straight to Bumra.

spk_0 Next ball, Bumra I thought were.

spk_0 Bumra I thought backward point.

spk_0 Next ball it was a bit more loopy.

spk_0 He cuts it between, so now this one falls in front of Bumra,

spk_0 which we went on the shot a bit earlier.

spk_0 We just got to take this single,

spk_0 or on a far, take the single back.

spk_0 He's back in.

spk_0 Now this one was just flight it.

spk_0 It a little bit more, a little bit closer to his bat.

spk_0 A little bit more spin and drift into it.

spk_0 Peaches off, loops in.

spk_0 It's got, I sign bubbles it straight to backward point.

spk_0 Typically I think,

spk_0 Sime just went too hard on the ball.

spk_0 Yeah, he wants to do it.

spk_0 If it's a bit short, if it's wide,

spk_0 ideally your back, but should go across,

spk_0 and you should sort of like cut over it,

spk_0 like slap the ball,

spk_0 or tell it's a bad.

spk_0 Maybe in the ground,

spk_0 if you want to go over the ground,

spk_0 then you can even have some elevation on that.

spk_0 When you have a backward point field or there,

spk_0 and you're giving it straight into his hands,

spk_0 you're not picking gaps.

spk_0 So just a sign of a batsman,

spk_0 out of form, playing up his shots.

spk_0 One more example of Sime,

spk_0 you just, you know,

spk_0 gifting his wicket away.

spk_0 He looked settled.

spk_0 This, like this time around,

spk_0 he got through the initial phase

spk_0 where he was, he's been struggling

spk_0 in the past few matches.

spk_0 And 14 off 10 and 140 strike rate,

spk_0 two boundaries off the way.

spk_0 And this was a time for Pakistan

spk_0 to sort of up the ante,

spk_0 put the pressure back on India.

spk_0 You've already pitted,

spk_0 Gulli for 24 runs and two overs.

spk_0 And you have wickets in hand.

spk_0 Pakistan at that moment was 13 or one.

spk_0 And this is the beginning of the epic collapse,

spk_0 the collapse of the highest orders.

spk_0 Whatever are sent in him,

spk_0 you put in here.

spk_0 It cannot really describe how bad,

spk_0 how horrific, how horrendous this collapse.

spk_0 Was Pakistan loses nine wickets

spk_0 for 33 runs.

spk_0 It was the slowest of all motions of a car crash.

spk_0 Now, it was like a 360 frames per second car crash,

spk_0 having a ride in front.

spk_0 You cannot take your eyes off of this.

spk_0 I'm going to bring back inception.

spk_0 Towards the end,

spk_0 when they're at level two dreaming,

spk_0 their car is going off the bridge,

spk_0 but it's going off in slow motion.

spk_0 So you have to experience the whole thing.

spk_0 You know, it's going to crash into the water.

spk_0 It hasn't crashed yet.

spk_0 Everybody but it drowned.

spk_0 What we're seeing in our eyes,

spk_0 you know, I was actually,

spk_0 I was kind of in shock how good this battle is going

spk_0 up until 113 for one.

spk_0 And we were in that phase on the live.

spk_0 We talk about this.

spk_0 Pakistan struggles in the middle overs.

spk_0 So post power play,

spk_0 a particularly post over 910,

spk_0 Pakistan has been losing wickets,

spk_0 not scoring runs and not hitting strikes,

spk_0 not hitting boundaries.

spk_0 And a combination of that,

spk_0 all that is resulting in them either playing too defensively

spk_0 with it against any last match where they couldn't score a boundary

spk_0 and then over 10 to 15.

spk_0 Or they're losing way too many wickets,

spk_0 not having a platform to really go hard in the death overs.

spk_0 And this time, a you wicket triggered a collapse of a generation.

spk_0 Like, I'm going to be telling my grandkids about this bad in collapse.

spk_0 Yeah, Simon, you definitely started the trigger.

spk_0 After Simon, you should look at the scorecard.

spk_0 Looks like a telephone number.

spk_0 And no batsman aside from Fakhir and Perhan

spk_0 and scored more than 15 runs.

spk_0 Fakhir and Perhan.

spk_0 Nobody aside from Fakhir and Perhan scored over 15 runs.

spk_0 Nobody's side from Simon Fakhir and Perhan.

spk_0 God to double this.

spk_0 Oh, I see what you're saying now.

spk_0 Yeah, that's a good scorecard because it's a beautiful.

spk_0 So Simon, wait, Simon gets out.

spk_0 Hades comes in which we thought on the livestream was a good call because last time

spk_0 we lost a wicket early on in the middle overs,

spk_0 all I came into that.

spk_0 And we thought it was at that point where you had to go hard.

spk_0 You had to send the power hitter because in that match,

spk_0 that last match against India, so we're fours.

spk_0 We had Guy's like, Fakhir, no, Shaheen and Hades

spk_0 who didn't even get a chance to bat.

spk_0 And so sending Hades at four, I thought was the right call.

spk_0 Hades comes in first ball, Shosen 10,

spk_0 Faisal Lapshad, Kuldi, Dodbal,

spk_0 next ball against Akshapardale,

spk_0 tries to go inside out over the covers.

spk_0 Against the full face of the bat, by the way.

spk_0 Yeah, gets the full, but it's more of a check shot, I think.

spk_0 I think if he had maybe hit that more towards the gap,

spk_0 more like finer towards the covers, there is no fudder there.

spk_0 You got a four against the bungalow here on the same shot, by the way.

spk_0 Yeah, I thought the shot was on.

spk_0 I thought the intent was right.

spk_0 Again, the execution with a lot of these box-on players

spk_0 has been so off-cue.

spk_0 Again, I don't want to sound sour because my team lost,

spk_0 but do you think that it was an exceptional

spk_0 bowling display by India or within an exceptional batting

spk_0 draw away from Pakistan?

spk_0 I think it's a mix of both.

spk_0 I mean, you know, Kuldibe has been world-class.

spk_0 This whole issue, up to 17 wickets.

spk_0 And the second best is off China Fidia 10 wickets.

spk_0 So there's Kuldibe, there's a gullust of nothing.

spk_0 And then there's China Fidia and all the other wallers.

spk_0 So I think you've got to get credit where it's worth too.

spk_0 Even if it's the lack of game sense, game awareness,

spk_0 it is Pakistan's fault.

spk_0 It's India who is encouraging that mistake.

spk_0 Now, I think given Simon Harris, his wicket,

spk_0 we have to talk about how Pakistan has an enormous

spk_0 Simon U and Mom and Harris fault.

spk_0 And these guys have been brought in,

spk_0 if you look at it actually,

spk_0 as your play spends for Bob Rossum,

spk_0 and it's one, there's one.

spk_0 Literally one for one.

spk_0 And Simon U has now become a better bowler than he is a batter.

spk_0 Mom and Harris has not delivered to what everybody,

spk_0 but especially backward point expected.

spk_0 Our entire point, I'm just going to clarify this,

spk_0 is we thought Mom and Harris, given his performances

spk_0 in the last, during the World Cup in Australia,

spk_0 were very good.

spk_0 And post that World Cup, he only got four matches for Pakistan

spk_0 in the span of 12 months.

spk_0 And he was dropped.

spk_0 Which we thought was not the right call.

spk_0 It was unfair.

spk_0 For the guy who single-handedly,

spk_0 not single-handedly, but like became the empires of taking

spk_0 Pakistan out of ruts against South Africa,

spk_0 against Bangladesh, New Zealand,

spk_0 in that 2022 World Cup, I thought he deserved a 25 average,

spk_0 140 plus strike rate.

spk_0 I thought he deserved a longer shot.

spk_0 And I think everybody on this feed,

spk_0 if you're a Pakistan wicket fan, you were like,

spk_0 man, I want to see more of Harris.

spk_0 I want to see what this guy is all about.

spk_0 And I don't think if Harris,

spk_0 and Simon U got dropped,

spk_0 because you've been hearing news already,

spk_0 there's talks of a lot of stuff going on around.

spk_0 They have no one to blame except themselves.

spk_0 I think I've gotten the last six months

spk_0 from January and New Zealand all the way to today.

spk_0 This is the same Pakistan team playing since May.

spk_0 Nobody has been dropped.

spk_0 This has been like, as a Pakistan wicket fan,

spk_0 or somebody is watching Pakistan team from the outside,

spk_0 you're looking at, oh, there's a team where you have a fixed captain,

spk_0 fixed coach.

spk_0 This team is not changing at the same playing level.

spk_0 Same 20 guys, same 15 guys rotating here and there.

spk_0 And I think a lot more onus is on Simon U,

spk_0 because even pre-injury, we invested so heavily in him.

spk_0 And it was only until the tours of Australia

spk_0 and South Africa were scored runs.

spk_0 Post-injury, he's been a shell of the matter he used to be.

spk_0 Muhammad Harris, I know he's playing out of position.

spk_0 You know, he played his best ad number three in T20s.

spk_0 And he's only eyes, he was the player of the tournament

spk_0 in the series against Boundal H in Lahore,

spk_0 where he scored a century, he became the only box and batter

spk_0 outside of an opener to score a century for Pakistan.

spk_0 But since then, his batting position has been changing from one to eight.

spk_0 And so I think there's a lack of the role clarity.

spk_0 What is Harris's role?

spk_0 Do you want him to be a power blick's exploiter?

spk_0 You had a number three against Oman, scored a 50,

spk_0 mad at the match against Bangladesh.

spk_0 Last man, he scored a very crucial 31.

spk_0 He was a top score for Pakistan.

spk_0 Because the difference between winning the game and losing it.

spk_0 But I still think the role clarity on Harris is missing.

spk_0 The Onus also is on Harris for showing a lack of game awareness,

spk_0 a lack of complete lack of game.

spk_0 It's just, I don't know how to instill that in somebody.

spk_0 But as some of you...

spk_0 He's a box on Shines Captain.

spk_0 What do you mean instill?

spk_0 He's the guy.

spk_0 Some of those shots selection has been very questionable.

spk_0 It's been, it's been iffy.

spk_0 We've seen St. New Zealand, any moving ball,

spk_0 any swinging ball, any moving off the pitch ball, he can't play it.

spk_0 And he's been, it's been on offer, he can't play it.

spk_0 So he's only a good batter when he's playing in Pindy,

spk_0 in Lahore, in Karachi, in, you know, insert flat pitch here,

spk_0 where there's no movement, there's no spin, no spin.

spk_0 A bit of bounce so they can lap shot, whatever.

spk_0 Yeah, that's it.

spk_0 And, uh, no, also we've, then, because he plays regularly,

spk_0 you cannot detect his major flaws,

spk_0 head falls over, body not aligned, no feet movement.

spk_0 The ball swinging in is just not happening for him,

spk_0 because the feet doesn't move, so there's a huge batting pad gap.

spk_0 A lot of, a lot of it.

spk_0 I actually had Mom and Harris's batting stands

spk_0 reviewed by a county cricket.

spk_0 Also former West Indies batting coach.

spk_0 And, um, yeah, there's a lot of flaws in his batting.

spk_0 Uh, the first one being his head falling over,

spk_0 his head not being in line with his hands and feet,

spk_0 uh, his eyes not being level at the point of ball release.

spk_0 And look, we're not here saying that you have to be

spk_0 technically correct, batsman of the cricket.

spk_0 Obviously, there's so many grades in the world

spk_0 who are not technically correct,

spk_0 but they still were able to make it out.

spk_0 She was not sure that they're both mad.

spk_0 He has like 10,000 test runs.

spk_0 And no way that guy technically correct.

spk_0 But when it comes to like simple stuff like this,

spk_0 it may be hindering and affecting the game that he has.

spk_0 And now it's too late to fix any of those.

spk_0 Like the first batch of it's in you know,

spk_0 you cannot absolutely cannot go cross bad to Bumra

spk_0 was boiling an outturner.

spk_0 Right. That's just again, you know,

spk_0 how do you tell somebody that if somebody in Canada

spk_0 who is running a podcast on cricket can understand that

spk_0 why cannot Mom and Harris was in the Pakistan team

spk_0 come through domestic PSL or ranks cannot see that from.

spk_0 Also in the other situation in the Mahogad artist's

spk_0 Harris situation, Simon, you got out of the chart

spk_0 and then right after that, I believe fuck a gun.

spk_0 No, it was Simon.

spk_0 Then it was hottest and then it was fucker.

spk_0 Then it was fucker.

spk_0 So the onus on hardest is that, you know,

spk_0 you just got a side of the cup and over before that.

spk_0 And over before Simon now, Simon's out.

spk_0 I'm in.

spk_0 Maybe take the game a bit slower like he did in his

spk_0 formulation.

spk_0 And then you'll have you have the time to accelerate.

spk_0 Rotate. Rotate.

spk_0

spk_0 Single.

spk_0 Take a double.

spk_0 The beauty of the Indian batting during this chase

spk_0 even when the chips were down was that the rotation never stopped.

spk_0 They took five singles and an adort against Simon.

spk_0 Nobody came in from the Indian team

spk_0 and went ballistic from ball one.

spk_0 I think they took six singles off a bra.

spk_0 There was a point like a bra was like two point something

spk_0 or worse than a spell and there was only one dot ball.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And because they were if there was a bad ball,

spk_0 they were attacking.

spk_0 If there wasn't a bad ball, they were that dabbing.

spk_0 So it seems like our guys only have two games.

spk_0 Are they really hit a boundary or will play a dot?

spk_0 There's nothing really in between there.

spk_0 The first reason that I have what's having left for a hon is that

spk_0 I want him to be a better player and the best the better player he will

spk_0 he will become better once he understands that basic aspect of

spk_0 how cricket is run, which is the guy who takes singles, bro.

spk_0 So a 13th over Simon gets out 14th over hot.

spk_0 It gets out 15th over now fuckers.

spk_0 The one gets out 46.

spk_0 So now here's the thing.

spk_0 The shot before that I think he had a six.

spk_0 He hit a six.

spk_0 Why why why do why do what he did?

spk_0 I don't know why are you looking for another big over.

spk_0 Too bad.

spk_0 We know the box on the back overs.

spk_0 This is the problem with fuckers.

spk_0 I'm gonna look I love fuckers.

spk_0 I was there for CD 17.

spk_0 I was there for the 200 that he scored.

spk_0 I was there for the chase.

spk_0 I was there for you set it.

spk_0 100.

spk_0 I'm 100 guys.

spk_0 New to 2023.

spk_0 I've been there right.

spk_0 I'm all behind this guy.

spk_0 The T 20 numbers are not inspiring.

spk_0 The 21.

spk_0 70 final 50 is inspiring.

spk_0 But that was four years ago.

spk_0 Yeah, I haven't seen anything in this format that tells me that fuckers

spk_0 month is the guy.

spk_0 The power play he was run a ball.

spk_0 And then the game sense we've been talking about.

spk_0 Okay, how is it is dumb?

spk_0 He doesn't have the game sense, right?

spk_0 This is what we're criticizing.

spk_0 Time is a newbie again.

spk_0 Whatever newbie you want to call it.

spk_0 He's played 50 to 20 guys.

spk_0 I don't even know if you can call him a newbie anymore.

spk_0 But he doesn't have the game sense.

spk_0 Everybody sucks.

spk_0 Fuckers a month.

spk_0 You've been there for 10 years.

spk_0 Not once, but many times.

spk_0 Rescue box on out of situations like this.

spk_0 You know, you're already run a ball.

spk_0 You know how to take singles.

spk_0 Just do that.

spk_0 Why did you already hit one for a six?

spk_0 You've got me off that over.

spk_0 Why do you want that over to become 20?

spk_0 You can't do it.

spk_0 Like that's I think the real impetus.

spk_0 I think is the fuckers a month.

spk_0 Because that created panic.

spk_0 I set batter was nearing his 50 out.

spk_0 Arag and third bad in together means that Pakistan has changed

spk_0 their game plans.

spk_0 Because the lot is an anchor.

spk_0 Arag is an anchor.

spk_0 And Pakistan at this point wants to take the game deep.

spk_0 Now one more important part about Arag and

spk_0 the lot is that these guys are domestic cricket veterans.

spk_0 Arag in the domestic game at least the past 10 years.

spk_0 Usantar in the PSL since the last nine years.

spk_0 And the domestic as well.

spk_0 And domestic as well.

spk_0 And these guys are batting.

spk_0 And this is the point again.

spk_0 Your rotate takes singles and doubles.

spk_0 Head to bad ball for boundary.

spk_0 And Usantar plays a cross bat.

spk_0 Nothing shot.

spk_0 Sky's it in the air.

spk_0 I thought that that's not what he was sent.

spk_0 I would have taken a 20 ball 20 from Usantar left here.

spk_0 And then just let Shine Choffy the famous chef and

spk_0 Noah's take it away from there.

spk_0 That's all he had to do in that moment.

spk_0 Why was he trying to be the hero?

spk_0 Again, it doesn't make any sense.

spk_0 Same thing for Captain Amir Jana.

spk_0 Haman Arag coming in.

spk_0 Nothing shot.

spk_0 He hit go lead for a six to first ball.

spk_0 He faced I think it was the last time in the four like hit him

spk_0 straight on the ground.

spk_0 And I think he tried to look at the same thing.

spk_0 But go lead obviously a smart water.

spk_0 It was in a smart shot because you could tell

spk_0 Haman premeditated.

spk_0 It wasn't a smart shot given the circumstances and situation.

spk_0 And he premeditated.

spk_0 When you've lost three four wickets in the span of four overs.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 You cannot play that shot in that situation.

spk_0 I think that's when you again have the game stands.

spk_0 Take the match a little deeper.

spk_0 Wait to the last three overs, last four overs.

spk_0 You see off go lead.

spk_0 It's his last over again.

spk_0 You already taken go lead 24 on the two overs.

spk_0 If Pakistan had just gone run of all and his next two overs,

spk_0 he would have been four overs.

spk_0 36 for no wickets.

spk_0 The no wickets part is key because he came back.

spk_0 He took four wickets and two overs.

spk_0 Three wickets and one over with one wide.

spk_0 That's it.

spk_0 So I'm like three wickets, three dots, one wide.

spk_0 Intane.

spk_0 All that goes out.

spk_0 Who did he eat in?

spk_0 Who did he have yet?

spk_0 So yeah, that's an iconic over right there where good deep gets on my first ball.

spk_0 And then Shaheen Wuxen.

spk_0 Shaheen plays an absolutely like mid-wicket heave crossbat.

spk_0 Like I don't know how to even describe a shot again.

spk_0 If you just hit then the V, he would have had a better shot.

spk_0 First ball actually, look at the first ball here.

spk_0 It hits Shaheen's gloves.

spk_0 Big appeal.

spk_0 I'm part gives it out.

spk_0 And the standard of umpiring, this entire A-Shaka has been absolutely horrendous.

spk_0 I cannot emphasize how bad the umpiring has been.

spk_0 How bad the on-field calls have been whether it be Al-Bidilvi is going down the next

spk_0 side whether it be caught behind the deflections not given out on field.

spk_0 And this was another example of a big match in New Year's s block.

spk_0 A-Shaka final first time in 41 years.

spk_0 First ball, cool deep, Shaheen Afrii, the hits, matches his gloves.

spk_0 For a minute, let's just say the hit is pants.

spk_0 That was still impact outside.

spk_0 How can you give that out?

spk_0 Herndis, um, absolutely abysmal.

spk_0 Like I don't know what kind of impiring this was.

spk_0 And because you brought that up, this is a really good time to bring up the

spk_0 whole sportsman's very situation.

spk_0 Yeah, because we talked about A-Ga getting out.

spk_0 There was a moment, I think San Talat was it or maybe it was was it.

spk_0 There was somebody.

spk_0 They were coming back for a double.

spk_0 There was I think I guess I had a towards cover it burst to skies.

spk_0 Yes, he was coming back for two for two runs.

spk_0 Yes, I was ball watching.

spk_0 He saw the throw coming.

spk_0 He he went for the reach.

spk_0 Was safe inside.

spk_0 And and Sudya Kumar Yadav had the audacity to raise his hands up and ask for an objection

spk_0 of the field obstruction of the field appeal.

spk_0 Sudya Kumar Yadav, the Indian cricket captain who has said really, really

spk_0 demeaning stuff about the boxing cricket team without being provoked or asked.

spk_0 This guy loves the press conference.

spk_0 He loves the mic.

spk_0 Start a podcast guy.

spk_0 As the desperation was so much that he asked the empire for an objection of field.

spk_0 And the empire, Mashallah, went up, went up, took a third empire.

spk_0 And I was like, is this really happening?

spk_0 Is this the cricket we're playing right now?

spk_0 Objection of field?

spk_0 Sky would you be would you even have it happy if that was given out?

spk_0 If it was given up, it was definitely not an objection of field.

spk_0 And even there's not intentional.

spk_0 Samana got to not change the core.

spk_0 Straight down.

spk_0 Direction.

spk_0 He was going straight down and

spk_0 Sky pleaded for that.

spk_0 Sky really wanted that.

spk_0 I think it's it's a part of desperation there because, you know,

spk_0 Sky's personal performances haven't been that good.

spk_0 Whether it be just his performances this year or his performances against Pakistan.

spk_0 So he's a bit dry on the run.

spk_0 There's a lot of pressure on him.

spk_0 And you talked about the horrendous empire.

spk_0 You and I have the paper cricket on a club level for years.

spk_0 If it hits the path, if the empire doesn't know, Mashallah, I definitely know.

spk_0 And the out that you're talking about that was not given.

spk_0 Holy crap that I was not given.

spk_0 Deflected a mile and a half.

spk_0 I think Bangladesh, right?

spk_0 It was such a big out that the Bangladesh fielders did not even appeal.

spk_0 And Sky stood there.

spk_0 He stood there with the amount of technology out there.

spk_0 And you know you smashed it.

spk_0 You're just standing there.

spk_0 And it was a clean catch.

spk_0 I think that nothing there.

spk_0 Well, so if they had gone up, they took the review, which is like more embarrassment for

spk_0 Sunni Kamari, because he has to see that again on the on the big screen in slow motion at 120 frames per second.

spk_0 And see that he absolutely middle the glove on that as it went fast.

spk_0 What is this the level?

spk_0 You know, talking about cricketers being inspiration and all that he wants to hear.

spk_0 And it's you know, he's been saying things stuff like I want the cricketers and the army and everybody.

spk_0 If we can inspire them a little bit, what kind of inspiration are you showing?

spk_0 Cheat.

spk_0 Cheat in 4K.

spk_0 Desperation.

spk_0 And hopefully you'll get away with it.

spk_0 I feel for anything.

spk_0 I feel for everything.

spk_0 It'll happen.

spk_0 Oh my god.

spk_0 Like this is this is what we're inspiring the young generation and the new generation out of.

spk_0 Insane.

spk_0 And so you know, we talked about the redemption arc for Nama's and this that the arc that Sky went on the entire game

spk_0 was fulfilling enough that I found some joy out of this game as a boxing cricket fan.

spk_0 Because we'll talk about what happened to him in the second innings.

spk_0 But it was so juicy.

spk_0 It's so just like loved it.

spk_0 Again, going to the umpiring.

spk_0 The next ball is a wide the next ball is a dot ball.

spk_0 And then there's one more LBW shot shot by the Indian team.

spk_0 It's a hits.

spk_0 Shine's pads.

spk_0 And this time it's not given out.

spk_0 But I thought when it's reviewed, it's hitting the next up.

spk_0 It's mashed in the middle of it.

spk_0 It's a matching middle of the next up.

spk_0 I mean, that one I knew now is like I think that's missing and it's high as well.

spk_0 Because he had him shine the tall guy.

spk_0 He came down his foot was planted.

spk_0 Wained into the pitch.

spk_0 He's trying to sweep or whatever he was trying to do.

spk_0 And I thought it was like missing.

spk_0 I think it took a really long time for that ball tracking to ship up.

spk_0 And the odd goalie once against South Africa,

spk_0 in South Africa, blamed the the DRS for being the ball tracking to be rigged.

spk_0 How do you really said that super sport is doing something with the ball tracking?

spk_0 Well, you know, the conspiracy against Tendulkar is ball tracking in the the final in 2011.

spk_0 I don't buy that.

spk_0 Yeah, me either.

spk_0 I think how do you think of something?

spk_0 How a guy in itself is flawed.

spk_0 It's an independent sort of company.

spk_0 Yes, but the technology is still flawed enough that a frame here

spk_0 and that's missed from the straight angle.

spk_0 Because it's what 60 frames per second, maybe 120 frames per second.

spk_0 A frame here and there is the difference between the ball hitting the stop and not.

spk_0 So the technology is not 100% or clipping enough to be out or to be on par school.

spk_0 So I think the technology is not 100% there.

spk_0 Maybe you need more higher def cameras to actually go in there.

spk_0 240 frames per second, even faster than what a minute

spk_0 consists of in seconds.

spk_0 I don't know what the answer to that exact question is, but as it stands right now,

spk_0 I don't think that it was rigged.

spk_0 I just think it was crazy, crazy call.

spk_0 And that was absolutely smashing like stump as as per Haka and the RS.

spk_0 And another horrible decision given the other way.

spk_0 Cheying gets out.

spk_0 Fahim walks in and Fahim's second ball is a floor delivery,

spk_0 which she just absolutely smashes straight down.

spk_0 Tilek Verma is thrown at long off.

spk_0 Another brainless shot, another shot that according to the situation does not need to be played.

spk_0 It's a last ball of Kool-Deeb's bell.

spk_0 See him off.

spk_0 Leave the ball.

spk_0 I will not criticize you for leaving the ball on Kool-Deeb's last ball of his bell.

spk_0 Kool-Deeb's first two overs 24 runs.

spk_0 Kool-Deeb's next two overs, four wickets, six runs.

spk_0 And at the end of the overbox on his 134 for 8, when at one point, they were 113 for one.

spk_0 The last two on the other hand, Mohamed Aman Aman was stranded.

spk_0 He was on the ground, if you believe it or not, for 24 minutes only phase 90 deliveries.

spk_0 Mohamed Aman Aman was so lost that he lost count of whether it's the first ball of the over

spk_0 or the last ball of the over.

spk_0 Because the next over, it's Bumra versus Namaaz.

spk_0 And he gave the single first ball to Hades Rove.

spk_0 Maksila.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 And then Hades Rove at the bats have been scores of boundary.

spk_0 Good shot.

spk_0 Kool-Deeb's the hardest got a nick on that, went for four.

spk_0 And they got a double as well, I think.

spk_0 Bumra actually had the last laugh.

spk_0 I want to talk a little bit more about Bumra here.

spk_0 Because he bowled Hades Rove out.

spk_0 Big big head obviously.

spk_0 But Bumra, his frustrations are quite evident.

spk_0 He went for 35 for three overs in the power play against Black and Sons over fours.

spk_0 Most expensive spell in the power play by Bumra.

spk_0 45 runs and four overs.

spk_0 He's third most expensive spell in his career, 20 ice.

spk_0 And today, 28 runs in two overs in the power play.

spk_0 No wickets.

spk_0 And then he comes back toward the end,

spk_0 gets Hades Rove, a number 10 guy bold.

spk_0 And he's giving him gestures.

spk_0 Plain falling.

spk_0 At the same time, in the power play,

spk_0 he was giving words to Farhan.

spk_0 Now this is again just big Bumra.

spk_0 The nicest boulder ever.

spk_0 The nicest fast boulder ever.

spk_0 The number one boulder in the world across formats,

spk_0 conditions it could be on earth, it could be on Mars,

spk_0 it could be on Jupiter.

spk_0 Bumra is the best boulder.

spk_0 He's the nicest guy.

spk_0 What the family man.

spk_0 The craziest thing is that last part,

spk_0 which is he's known to be an aggressive boulder.

spk_0 The nicest guy ever.

spk_0 Like you'll talk to him, you'll have a good time.

spk_0 He's not like Shobakhtar, Pity or Bodean, all that.

spk_0 He's not that guy at all.

spk_0 He's just a chill guy who likes to ball fast.

spk_0 At the same time, off the field, he's having,

spk_0 he's picking fights with Muhammad Gaff.

spk_0 Muhammad Gaff is having a Twitter fight

spk_0 where you just bring Bumra.

spk_0 Made a shock up.

spk_0 I just said that it happened.

spk_0 You know what I'm saying?

spk_0 He's got a very good head of a lady in her head.

spk_0 You know the Muhammad Gaff's situation.

spk_0 You're giving Muhammad Gaff that much relevance.

spk_0 Just please Bumra.

spk_0 Do you know who you are?

spk_0 Someone commented on that tweet by Muhammad Gaff

spk_0 that if you want to trust a Gaff's opinion on cricket,

spk_0 make sure it's good to you know.

spk_0 I'm not Muhammad Gaff.

spk_0 I'm going to meme culture guys.

spk_0 This is cricket in 2025.

spk_0 Yeah, I know something's definitely going on with the,

spk_0 obviously he's not balling.

spk_0 He's not balling.

spk_0 He had an injury in England.

spk_0 He's coming back.

spk_0 Again, managing his workload.

spk_0 And he needs some time to get back into four of them.

spk_0 His pace was down.

spk_0 Typically he was 145 clicks.

spk_0 Eally 140 plus.

spk_0 But today he was just around the 140 mark.

spk_0 Didn't get it.

spk_0 But swing.

spk_0 He was again, he's been,

spk_0 his match of against Farhan.

spk_0 I would obviously the exact numbers.

spk_0 But Farhan has had the better of Bumra.

spk_0 This entire Aisha Cup.

spk_0 Yeah, I think the matchup would show that.

spk_0 I don't think Farhan even got him out.

spk_0 I'm not even got him out once.

spk_0 So the average is three sixes.

spk_0 Three sixes at least and a couple of fours as well.

spk_0 And the average might be high,

spk_0 strike or might be high as well.

spk_0 So I would love somebody to get those numbers.

spk_0 To us.

spk_0 And high as drove then just catches a blinder,

spk_0 Yorker on off stump.

spk_0 Nothing he could have done.

spk_0 He knows how to, you know,

spk_0 how quick those ones are.

spk_0 And then I income the bar hammered and

spk_0 he ensues a comedy of cricket in the next five minutes

spk_0 where the single is not a single.

spk_0 It's not a single.

spk_0 It's not yelling at a bar.

spk_0 Do not be the hero.

spk_0 Take the single.

spk_0 Yes, because I play him off.

spk_0 I want to say we have heard stories of a bar.

spk_0 It's just doing diabolical things with the bat.

spk_0 Salman Arav and Islamabad hold a story where

spk_0 I think it's on the podcast where he says that

spk_0 he is on in his 90s playing a test match in Karachi.

spk_0 And it's last week it he's about to have his first

spk_0 century and he's batting with the bar hammered.

spk_0 There's two balls to go and do over and he tells Arav

spk_0 to block it out.

spk_0 Brasak sure.

spk_0 I'm going to block it out.

spk_0 The ball comes.

spk_0 Arav hit the six straight on the ground.

spk_0 And Arav goes to a bar.

spk_0 He says, are you in the 90s or in mind the 90s?

spk_0 Luckily, Arav Bloc's on next ball and Arav gets to his fifth.

spk_0 He has his first test 100 in the next over.

spk_0

spk_0 So which is why NaVaz had to really go to a bar and drill down

spk_0 that bro, please block the delivery.

spk_0 And to be fair to him, he saw a short point.

spk_0 He just pulled it for single and then NaVaz was not in the mood to run.

spk_0 But again, that's in NaVaz,

spk_0 you know, in between the panic, in between the craziness,

spk_0 kind of losing track of the delivery is left.

spk_0 Finally takes the single, plays the overout.

spk_0 In comes Boomaz last over.

spk_0 If if a bar had just if NaVaz had properly played that over out,

spk_0 you think if he even got in 10 off that over,

spk_0 I think Bloc's on would have been a very different one.

spk_0 Well, in hindsight, yeah, even in hindsight.

spk_0 I mean, let's go back to the collapse.

spk_0 I went 13 for one.

spk_0 At that point, Bloc's on was eyeing 180, 170.

spk_0 And we thought that would be a part total.

spk_0 Because again, 170, 180 is not a big tool for India.

spk_0 But it was a big total conditional.

spk_0 You got Abish Akshema out.

spk_0 You made inroads into India's top order.

spk_0 We'll start one to the middle order.

spk_0 And Bloc's on was,

spk_0 I thought I knew that.

spk_0 I want to talk more a bit about just the collapse.

spk_0 I thought it was a combination of lack of game sense,

spk_0 lack of game awareness,

spk_0 lack of situational awareness,

spk_0 a lack of mental toughness,

spk_0 being under pressure in a final against India,

spk_0 and just cracking,

spk_0 just crumbling under pressure,

spk_0 and not knowing exactly how to play when there is a collapse.

spk_0 How to consolidate, how to rotate strike,

spk_0 how to hit the bad balls for a boundary.

spk_0 And I don't know exactly how to instill this into these players.

spk_0 Like do they go back into domestic, play domestic season?

spk_0 Again, what is the actual quality of Bloc's on domestic cricket?

spk_0 The entire domestic structure has been revamped again.

spk_0 There was a Champions Cup launch last year,

spk_0 top five teams play in the Alte format tournament.

spk_0 And this year that Champions Cup scrapped away.

spk_0 According to Amish Azad, 19 Cororpees given to these mentors,

spk_0 these five mentors, Misbah, Saklan,

spk_0 Hifaraz, Shreib Malik.

spk_0 One of them in the toss.

spk_0 Bloc, you're the swikki one.

spk_0 Remaking the Bloc's meme.

spk_0 What do you do with Bloc?

spk_0 Bloc is the one I know.

spk_0 Bloc, I know.

spk_0 How do you know?

spk_0 Bloc is the one I know.

spk_0 Please don't mute that.

spk_0 Bloc, you're right.

spk_0 Yeah, I mean, domestic structure, people keep saying that.

spk_0 I think I'm not going to get out of here.

spk_0 I'm sorry.

spk_0 Gotcha.

spk_0 There are two guys in this mid-lorder,

spk_0 who are, like I said, domestic veterans.

spk_0 They're Manaliah, who's Center.

spk_0 So if these guys don't have the game sense,

spk_0 game awareness,

spk_0 Farhan is well, yeah.

spk_0 Farhan did his job in the B7 and F-38 balls.

spk_0 It's more of the mid-lorder.

spk_0 And we're exactly where we started.

spk_0 Pretty Rizbar, where we are right now.

spk_0 The real arc.

spk_0 Power paid on doing well.

spk_0 Mid-lorder still being a problem.

spk_0 I think, and struggling to get 145 headlines the next 15 years,

spk_0 backward point podcasts.

spk_0 Bloc is on mid-lorder starting.

spk_0 Yeah, still.

spk_0 I think about the last award,

spk_0 which are the Nama's plate.

spk_0 And I feel like if he had gotten 8, 10 off,

spk_0 maybe if that one, he told that one, right?

spk_0 To penetrate up.

spk_0 If he had middle of that,

spk_0 what have been six,

spk_0 you would have tried to get a couple more there.

spk_0 I don't know, man.

spk_0 146 could have been 156,

spk_0 could have been 16 in the last over,

spk_0 20 in the last over.

spk_0 It's a different ball game.

spk_0 You are thinking last over,

spk_0 I'm thinking about the seven overs that happened before that,

spk_0 where we lost nine wickets.

spk_0 No, I can't do that.

spk_0 Nine wickets for 33 runs.

spk_0 It happened as on the live stream.

spk_0 You can check it out.

spk_0 It's there.

spk_0 You can see a melt.

spk_0 I think I stopped talking.

spk_0 I was in such shock,

spk_0 which I took me hours to recover from that shock,

spk_0 from that class.

spk_0 Even after we were in a position of kind of taking the game back

spk_0 in the second and innings,

spk_0 I still was in a moment of shock.

spk_0 What just happened?

spk_0 What did I witness?

spk_0 It's like hearing the stack seeing a gun fired in front of you

spk_0 for the first time.

spk_0 You're just like,

spk_0 whoa, this is good for you.

spk_0 And honestly, that that that that that collapse could have killed me.

spk_0 Pakistan somehow scraped through to 146.

spk_0 Again, five balls to spare in the innings.

spk_0 And at one point, we were looking to maximize the death of the worst

spk_0 use all of our wickets.

spk_0 Honestly, to be fair to the openers in the top three, I would say,

spk_0 they actually after the six overs kept the momentum going.

spk_0 If not actually increase the momentum.

spk_0 Yeah, they did.

spk_0 So I was like, oh, these guys are like really in and it felt like,

spk_0 you know, 170 easy, maybe 180.

spk_0 I was talking about 200 at one point.

spk_0 I was like, they might if they keep going ballistic,

spk_0 because the average has showed me in this Asia Cup

spk_0 that Pakistan 16 to 20 or 10 and a half per hour.

spk_0 They were hitting at least 40 or 45 in those 16 to 20 ranges.

spk_0 If you go 15 to 20, then they're they're they're going almost over 50.

spk_0 So I was like, I got those 50 runs locked, right?

spk_0 So if you just get to 130 140 even,

spk_0 in 130 or in 15, you have the last five worst to go 15.

spk_0 180 is definitely in there.

spk_0 And so I was like, I was cool.

spk_0 I was chill. I was like, I'm going to take this away.

spk_0 Bachelor of 15, get out.

spk_0 You don't even have to play.

spk_0 We kept singing the live stream.

spk_0 Don't, I'm going to take a pass off.

spk_0 Who said that? Take a pass off.

spk_0 Let the other kids play.

spk_0 Even let let shine going in and of these guys.

spk_0 But the class was of such high proportions that the reverberations

spk_0 were felt all through dicks.

spk_0 Talking about collapses, talking about

spk_0 the reverberations, I would like to inform you guys

spk_0 what are friends at Yoshi's Sports.

spk_0 So we remain to be Canada's home upcricut.

spk_0 They're the only place in North America to buy your equipment.

spk_0 You can be a beginner.

spk_0 You can be a pro player.

spk_0 Yoshi's Sports has all the equipment you need.

spk_0 If you go in person, you have the promised expert advice.

spk_0 They've got bats, balls,

spk_0 pads, gloves, tie bats, kid bags, shoes.

spk_0 I wanted to help look sorry about what happened last week.

spk_0 I was playing a playoff match at a ground.

spk_0 And I realized a day before that my shoes,

spk_0 my cricket shoes have ripped.

spk_0 I call Yoshi's Sports.

spk_0 What is interesting?

spk_0 I know about this.

spk_0 I'm like, guys, I need new shoes.

spk_0 And they were like, what they're expensive.

spk_0 Taxes 13%.

spk_0 And I'm like, can I use the code BB-15?

spk_0 For 15% off-appers?

spk_0 And they're like, absolutely you can.

spk_0 So I use the code BB-15.

spk_0 But you guys can use that too.

spk_0 It's a VVIP code for backward pointers.

spk_0 But the extra service that you got is that available or not.

spk_0 The extra service that I got is that

spk_0 Yoshi's Sports, Currier to me, Uber Packaged me,

spk_0 my shoes to the ground where I received.

spk_0 Bashar went to the ground in slippers

spk_0 and took the slippers, put them back,

spk_0 there into the Yoshi's A6 gel,

spk_0 peak, whatever that one was.

spk_0 scored a match winning eight runs of 11 balls.

spk_0 It was genuinely worth the match winning eight runs.

spk_0 Chasing 77 runs.

spk_0 My team was 50 for six.

spk_0 We were 50 for six.

spk_0 All this information is true.

spk_0 And the A6 was, you know, it was very duly out there,

spk_0 very wet.

spk_0 And Bashar was able to stand his ground.

spk_0 You could be a beginner.

spk_0 It would be a pro player.

spk_0 Yoshi's Sports has recovered.

spk_0 And we still are yet to announce the winner

spk_0 for the Patreon giveaway.

spk_0 I think I'll do that on social media now.

spk_0 We just today was a hectic day.

spk_0 I was not able to actually do that.

spk_0 I think tomorrow I'll announce it on social media.

spk_0 So keep an eye on that, which means,

spk_0 until unless the giveaways announce,

spk_0 you guys still have the opportunity to join the Patreon,

spk_0 get put your name into the hat.

spk_0 And I'll announce it tomorrow afternoon.

spk_0 Whenever this podcast comes out,

spk_0 it's probably going to be over.

spk_0 And thank you to all the new patrons

spk_0 who have joined us and support us.

spk_0 Yeah, 10, 15 people joined us in the last couple of weeks.

spk_0 Thank you very much.

spk_0 A lot of Indian cricket fans as well.

spk_0 Thank you very much as well.

spk_0 It actually,

spk_0 in the Patreon chat,

spk_0 really lit up the atmosphere.

spk_0 It was a funny guy, you know, taking the win.

spk_0 This is the time of non-sour loser

spk_0 that I expected the Indian cricket team to be

spk_0 talking about having bands,

spk_0 making fun of us as well.

spk_0 But like in a very lighthearted kind of way,

spk_0 it actually made me laugh a few times.

spk_0 And I think a lot of other patrons really appreciated that.

spk_0 So thanks,

spk_0 Sit down for lighting up the mood,

spk_0 being a really nice low-key winner.

spk_0 I like that.

spk_0 Yeah, let's go to India's run chase.

spk_0 India's chasing 146 runs.

spk_0 This is what you're laughing.

spk_0 I keep having a very big smile on my face.

spk_0 Okay, let's talk about it.

spk_0 How about you take the podcast from here for the next 10 minutes?

spk_0 I'm good.

spk_0 Listen, I'm pretty humble guy, okay?

spk_0 But we want to give you a context.

spk_0 Context is that in the In-Divers' box on preview,

spk_0 we had a 12-minute section in the podcast.

spk_0 It was a 40-minute podcast

spk_0 on how to get a B-Shake Charm out.

spk_0 And I did some homework,

spk_0 and it's some research,

spk_0 some analysis.

spk_0 Now just for reference,

spk_0 I do not consider myself to be a cricket analyst.

spk_0 I'm not a cricket expert.

spk_0 I am a sooner of the game.

spk_0 I am a fan of the sport.

spk_0 Until please do not take my advice.

spk_0 That was a disclaimer.

spk_0 So I did some work and I realized a couple of things

spk_0 about a music genre.

spk_0 I realized his lowest average is against Red Arm Pace.

spk_0 16 points of thing.

spk_0 His highest mode of dismissal,

spk_0 16 at a 21 times,

spk_0 and then he's been caught out.

spk_0 I went back, I watched his IPL matches,

spk_0 I saw how he could get out.

spk_0 I did some research on who he's getting out to.

spk_0 Top players in the 20s,

spk_0 trend-bolt.

spk_0 Chitol-Talker.

spk_0 Deepak Chahar.

spk_0 And I watched the field placement that they had.

spk_0 And I watched what lines are rolling to him,

spk_0 what lengths are rolling to him.

spk_0 And then I made my own assumptions,

spk_0 how can Pakistan replicate those same scenarios

spk_0 to get a B-Shake Charm out.

spk_0 And I recommended the best chance to get a B-Shake Charm out.

spk_0 Or two.

spk_0 Option one, China for the balls,

spk_0 a dream delivery that Mitchell Stark worked with him

spk_0 in the last IPL final.

spk_0 Precision middle last things were top of the line.

spk_0 That is really a dream delivery.

spk_0 I had that video saved on my phone,

spk_0 and I've admitted it to imagine how I would look

spk_0 on another B-Shake Charm out.

spk_0 Much beautiful.

spk_0 And I watched that video before every match I played,

spk_0 yet to replicate that ball.

spk_0 But next story comes in.

spk_0 It's, it's, he was sure.

spk_0 I recommended that the two best options,

spk_0 like in Soshahin, get the Reemball,

spk_0 or write arm pace over the wicket,

spk_0 bulling to a B-Shake Charm out.

spk_0 Short, fine leg, deep square leg, mid wicket, mid on.

spk_0 And you ball to him tight lense on the off-stum,

spk_0 cramping for room, which is exactly actually what's

spk_0 China into the first, I think China involved brilliantly.

spk_0 Great first room.

spk_0 Brilliant, the no-wickets, but

spk_0 let balls, back up in the balls, on the off-stum,

spk_0 I wish X-Shake Charm was a bit rattled, I was, I want to say,

spk_0 I signed from his one boundary.

spk_0 I didn't really get going in that first over.

spk_0 And, uh, income's next to over, Rana, if I can watch it.

spk_0 Ah, ah, if you want to watch my reaction to that wicket,

spk_0 go to our livestream, you can watch it right there.

spk_0 So can you link the livestream to this?

spk_0 Uh, I will put it in the description below.

spk_0 And maybe time's not for the main moments.

spk_0 Sure, sure.

spk_0 Easy.

spk_0 And so first ball, why he was there comes in,

spk_0 it's just Lord the rey, it's a cutter outside of the fourth stump,

spk_0 away from Abyssaic Charm was hitting arc.

spk_0 He toes it, goes in the air,

spk_0 hot as rope takes a catch.

spk_0 I could not breathe for the 10 seconds that the wall felt like it was in the air.

spk_0 And as soon as that wicket happened, actually,

spk_0 so just one more thing, we cut a clip of that moment

spk_0 and put her on TikTok, put her on Instagram,

spk_0 put her on Twitter, uh, 200k views on Twitter.

spk_0 And even viral for the wrong reasons,

spk_0 because all the innuigative team fans were like,

spk_0 look at these guys trying to do this, whatever.

spk_0 This is never going to happen.

spk_0 And guess what happened?

spk_0 And yeah, it's exactly, so I basically,

spk_0 I put my neck on the line, I put my reputation out there.

spk_0 That would point, I would have ended if that wouldn't have happened.

spk_0 The trolling that would happen would have been unimaginable.

spk_0 It's the counter trolling happening now.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 And so once that wicket happens,

spk_0 I will go ballistic, we go crazy,

spk_0 because we have never seen this Indian team

spk_0 batting without Abhishek Sharma in the power play.

spk_0 He was the highest run score.

spk_0 He scored over one third of their entire run

spk_0 with this entire tournament.

spk_0 I think he scored 300 runs.

spk_0 The next best step batter before this match

spk_0 was Telecoma with 144 runs,

spk_0 which is less than half his runs.

spk_0 And the impact that Abhishek Sharma had

spk_0 is that he was scoring one of the power play,

spk_0 giving India an incredibly greater advantage.

spk_0 A head start, I would even say,

spk_0 and ensuring they get power on the chase down totals quite easily.

spk_0 And making things easier for their middle order to come.

spk_0 So once that wicket happens,

spk_0 my phone explodes.

spk_0 Twitter explodes.

spk_0 The comment section on that clip,

spk_0 go crazy.

spk_0 People come back, they're like,

spk_0 you should be the coach at PCT.

spk_0 How did you get this message to Michael?

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 Did Mike S. and Washington?

spk_0 Did you actually send this message to Michael?

spk_0 No, I did not communicate with players

spk_0 on tactics or anything.

spk_0 Yeah, I think during people ask us all the time,

spk_0 oh, did you tell Hesundice?

spk_0 Hesundat or you know,

spk_0 Agadiz guys,

spk_0 whenever we communicate with,

spk_0 literally box on players,

spk_0 slash officials,

spk_0 it's to wisdom with luck,

spk_0 hard luck, whatever it is, you know,

spk_0 boost them up.

spk_0 We are, you think we are the official,

spk_0 we are not the right modes of messages

spk_0 or the right people to tell people.

spk_0 Obviously, also like that in that management level,

spk_0 what to do?

spk_0 We are not.

spk_0 And the box on team has analysts.

spk_0 They have better ball by ball-trocking.

spk_0 They probably have video analysis.

spk_0 They have Hawkeye,

spk_0 they have ball-trocking,

spk_0 they have field positioning also.

spk_0 We are an amateur podcast.

spk_0 I think it would be really funny

spk_0 if Agad or Hesund was like,

spk_0 you know, you should do this on the podcast

spk_0 when they have no idea what to do.

spk_0 So again, we can do what we do here really well

spk_0 and have those views and maybe have an impression

spk_0 and maybe if somebody actually does see it

spk_0 and helps, perfect,

spk_0 that you know, that route is fine.

spk_0 But we will not go out of our way

spk_0 to let coach Hesund

spk_0 who has coached in the IPL

spk_0 and has coached New Zealand to an ODI World Cup final

spk_0 to what to do.

spk_0 I think he knows what to do.

spk_0 Way better than us.

spk_0 But in the same moment,

spk_0 I'm so glad that you were vindicated

spk_0 because you definitely put your neck out there.

spk_0 I know that we,

spk_0 Bashar and I have these conversations

spk_0 off the record all the time about,

spk_0 hey, maybe you should do this, maybe you should do that.

spk_0 Bashar is also a shared cricket team's captain

spk_0 and I've seen him be tactical like that on the ground.

spk_0 The semi-finals a great way.

spk_0 He was an attacking captain.

spk_0 He boldly opposition out for 77.

spk_0 And when they're going,

spk_0 went tough in the chase because he got heated

spk_0 and they got spicy in there.

spk_0 He went out there and finished it.

spk_0 So I want to give you a flora right now on the podcast.

spk_0 I was insanely good, well-educated call

spk_0 that not only paid off,

spk_0 but it was executed so well by a famous show.

spk_0 That whole moment, I thought,

spk_0 if Trinken has lost,

spk_0 this HECK back with point is definitely one.

spk_0 Teamwork makes the dream work.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Income's quick, my other.

spk_0 He's coming at him.

spk_0 This is a position that Viratkuli used to play for India.

spk_0 The clutch position showing up against Pakistan

spk_0 is what made Viratkuli the superstar that he is.

spk_0 In Pakistan, I think there's no bigger superstar than Viratkuli.

spk_0 And it's a very big disappointment

spk_0 that the Indian team did not come to Pakistan

spk_0 with time in trophy.

spk_0 If they did, they would have seen how much the box

spk_0 Chinese loved cricket.

spk_0 How much they loved the Indian team?

spk_0 How much they loved Rohit,

spk_0 Braat,

spk_0 Bumbra.

spk_0 If India had come to the champion trophy last,

spk_0 I mean, this year, it felt like last year.

spk_0 Man, it would have been

spk_0 Goli sent.

spk_0 Even if India had won that game in Lahore,

spk_0 Goli sentry in Lahore, bro.

spk_0 I can't.

spk_0 One of the best.

spk_0 It would have been one of the best,

spk_0 given the circumstances,

spk_0 the environment,

spk_0 and the occasion.

spk_0 Yeah, anyways.

spk_0 So, backward points are a couple things.

spk_0 It said, you get a picture of my out

spk_0 and then sky is a walking wicket.

spk_0 Sky against Pakistan,

spk_0 average 16,

spk_0 straightaway 113.

spk_0 Sky this year,

spk_0 average 18,

spk_0 This is the Indian captain who wants to play

spk_0 modern day cricket.

spk_0 He wants to play a different band of cricket

spk_0 and averaging 18,

spk_0 He comes in and

spk_0 shine off the,

spk_0 gets him out caught by Salman Aliah.

spk_0 Now, again, this is the full circle moment

spk_0 I was talking about.

spk_0 Kind of a close catch.

spk_0 Allah gets his hands underneath the ball.

spk_0 Great catches it.

spk_0 He claims it.

spk_0 He celebrates.

spk_0 Sky is so tiny there.

spk_0 Again, we were making the CT-17 references

spk_0 and I thought that if Pakistan had won this game,

spk_0 that moment would have been the Shalab Han moment

spk_0 from CT-17,

spk_0 which like that catch,

spk_0 impossible catch,

spk_0 Indian captain,

spk_0 boom, right?

spk_0 Audacity of some Masudat Gamaniyadur.

spk_0 Against Danzer.

spk_0 I can give him some benefit of that.

spk_0 Because that catch, I don't know if it was clean or not.

spk_0 It looked absolutely clean to me.

spk_0 A heathman was on the,

spk_0 on the comms.

spk_0 He immediately called it out.

spk_0 That ball wobbled a lot.

spk_0 And you know,

spk_0 the replay shows him like hands underneath the ball,

spk_0 clear,

spk_0 ball-pouched,

spk_0 bouncing from his fingers,

spk_0 right into his palms.

spk_0 And then bouncing a lot

spk_0 when he was rolling and tumbling.

spk_0 But amazing catch by Allah.

spk_0 The forward lunges,

spk_0 if you ever play cricket,

spk_0 you understand that the forward lunged catches

spk_0 are the toughest to do to me.

spk_0 You know, you have your body is in a situation

spk_0 where you want to go right or left,

spk_0 and wants to move laterally.

spk_0 It does not want to move forward or backwards.

spk_0 And so to jump forward and actually grab that,

spk_0 insane level of catch,

spk_0 that's when I thought the ties were probably shifting

spk_0 for Pakistan.

spk_0 Sky,

spk_0 who is a walking wicket against Pakistan.

spk_0 I don't,

spk_0 and I have a general question for you, Richard.

spk_0 How do they find out you used to be the player

spk_0 that used to rub the Pakistani fans

spk_0 and the Pakistani cricket specter

spk_0 in the wrong way?

spk_0

spk_0 with Masud respect for him,

spk_0 but his attitude is a bit too much attitude.

spk_0 Do you think that,

spk_0 a disregard,

spk_0 a rotation has now moved away from

spk_0 the Panjya now solely to the Indian cricket team captain?

spk_0 In terms of like irritating us?

spk_0 Irritating, like he's just become

spk_0 what Panjya used to be for boxing cricket fans,

spk_0 which was like an irritating figure.

spk_0 Everyone is just picking on him.

spk_0 I want Panjya to lose.

spk_0 He's that or two doesn't fun.

spk_0 Sky has not become that,

spk_0 that figure that Panjya used to be,

spk_0 which is,

spk_0 this guy talks too much.

spk_0 He never performs against Pakistan.

spk_0 He has,

spk_0 objection of field calls and he has no

spk_0 spirit of the game.

spk_0 And then he has the audacity to just keep

spk_0 jumping, talking, talking, talking,

spk_0 press conference, post press conference.

spk_0 And just,

spk_0 if this game would have gone the other way,

spk_0 which is Pakistan's way,

spk_0 he would have gotten a lot of flak for the stuff he said.

spk_0 Yeah, we were actually even hearing

spk_0 because we have Indian fans in our Patreon now.

spk_0 We're getting educated on how the Indian cricket system works.

spk_0 What the BC side is doing behind the scenes,

spk_0 they don't like him either.

spk_0 And they were talking a lot about how

spk_0 the parachuted Shubman Gil in this Indian team,

spk_0 and they made a vice captain ahead of Jaiswal,

spk_0 which is a very big call.

spk_0 And they're looking at him as Gil as the next poster

spk_0 by the way, India to be tried for the format captain.

spk_0 There, we've heard there's,

spk_0 there's talks of Rumi Madrohid as the ODA captain,

spk_0 bringing in Gil for all three format captaincy,

spk_0 but you're six months away from a team of newer cup.

spk_0 And if this match had gone south,

spk_0 you never know what could happen, right?

spk_0 The sky's performances as captain,

spk_0 averages have gone down.

spk_0 This performance is this year.

spk_0 His performance is against Pakistan.

spk_0 Big question mark.

spk_0 And again, again,

spk_0 again, the state of the season made post match,

spk_0 would all come back to bite him.

spk_0 And that, that would have been tough for the sky there.

spk_0 The sky again, did not walk, had to go with the other empire,

spk_0 and then, wow, again, livestream,

spk_0 you can check it out.

spk_0 The reaction was insane.

spk_0 Really enjoyed that.

spk_0 India is 10 for two and in walk,

spk_0 the like, were mom.

spk_0 At this point, there is panic in the Indian deck out.

spk_0 There's panic in the Indian batters.

spk_0 Because the last ball of Shaheen's over,

spk_0 there is a missed opportunity for a run out.

spk_0 Gilles hits the shot towards Fakhar Zawane at short bit

spk_0 with it.

spk_0 There's a bit of a hesitation.

spk_0 Are you going to go for the run?

spk_0 No run.

spk_0 Gilles goes for the run.

spk_0 Fakhar picks it up, throws it to the wickets.

spk_0 He misses it.

spk_0 But if that hit, Gilles was not even in the frame.

spk_0 So I mean, was that Gilles Verma?

spk_0 That was Gilles running into the danger end of the non-starters end.

spk_0 And he died for it.

spk_0 And even with the die, if he was really meters out from the crease,

spk_0 if that was the direct hit.

spk_0 And I think, again, I missed our opportunity.

spk_0 Again, we got Gilles out earlier.

spk_0 When you want to beat the number one team,

spk_0 like India's, you've got to take even those half-half chances,

spk_0 those quarter chances, even those slim chances.

spk_0 Because they're so good enough.

spk_0 They won't give you more chances.

spk_0 That's exactly what Teelek Verma did.

spk_0 Yeah, shout out to Teelek Verma.

spk_0 Gilles got out to Shaheen, I believe.

spk_0 Was it?

spk_0 Gilles.

spk_0 A Gilles got out to Fahim.

spk_0 Last ball of Fahim's over.

spk_0 Yeah, Fahim, Fahim, I sure.

spk_0 We were a bit hesitant and confused why Fahim was rolling

spk_0 a third over.

spk_0 And it's actually a second over and then a third over as well.

spk_0 And we were going to the last one and we were like,

spk_0 hey, prove enough's wrong.

spk_0 I still think you shouldn't have rolled the third one.

spk_0 But with us being like, hey, the one was done enough,

spk_0 bringing the highest of, you got two in his first two,

spk_0 which I thought was still enough.

spk_0 You shouldn't have rolled the third because he thirded

spk_0 one for 14.

spk_0 Yeah, it's very delicate with these fast-balling runners,

spk_0 where they can be good sometimes for a couple of overs,

spk_0 but when you keep holding them for prolonged periods,

spk_0 they could be expensive later on.

spk_0 And I think this is where Al-Ras captain,

spk_0 he was tested.

spk_0 And I wasn't really a big fan of him,

spk_0 building three of Fahim in the power play.

spk_0 Fahim got two, did his job,

spk_0 get him out of the attack, breaking the hardest row.

spk_0 I was looking at hardest row if number's in the power play.

spk_0 It is sort of an illusion that he is very expensive in the power play.

spk_0 His actual number, I think his economy is around

spk_0 eight points, something in the power play.

spk_0 But the number that actually matters is that he's a genuine mick of ticker.

spk_0 So sometimes even when he can go for runs,

spk_0 he's somebody who comes in, he takes wickets,

spk_0 and he has the second most wickets to Pakistan

spk_0 in the power play economy 8.54.

spk_0 After Cheying probably.

spk_0 After Cheying, and number three is?

spk_0 Abrahan.

spk_0 Muhammad Amir.

spk_0 Boom.

spk_0 Muhammad Amir.

spk_0 In Woking CT 17 again.

spk_0 Yeah, I think the capency overall has been pretty good.

spk_0 Even in this game, it's pretty good.

spk_0 Wolling Cheying a third over.

spk_0 He only gave three in that way, I believe.

spk_0 Pretty good.

spk_0 Again, you keep that up.

spk_0 You always, you know, he's learning on the job.

spk_0 He wasn't a captain, I believe.

spk_0 Anywhere in his domestic setup.

spk_0 He's learning on the job.

spk_0 He's actually a lot more sponge like

spk_0 with the information that he's grasping than Bobber was.

spk_0 I think his captain, he's also a combination of him advising

spk_0 with Mike Hessen.

spk_0 I think it's too headed.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I think it's too headed.

spk_0 And you can see that.

spk_0 And I trust Hessen with the capency because he's a smart cookie.

spk_0 Talks about numbers.

spk_0 He knows.

spk_0 Look, I was watching Catman.

spk_0 And I don't know why I do that.

spk_0 Cause he's above the numbers as anything anymore.

spk_0 That is worth the relevance.

spk_0 But

spk_0 Matic is like, I don't trust numbers.

spk_0 Which is a crazy thing to say in 2025.

spk_0 I don't trust stats.

spk_0 Don't trust stats, guys.

spk_0 Trust the field.

spk_0 Trust the can.

spk_0 Like, yes, trust the conditions.

spk_0 Trust all that.

spk_0 Again, there's an intuition in this game sports.

spk_0 It could be anybody's day.

spk_0 It could be in an outlier in terms of what stats say.

spk_0 But for the most part, stats are

spk_0 I collective.

spk_0 Collective record of what a player has done.

spk_0 It's not like.

spk_0 It's not the tooth fairy.

spk_0 It's not Santa Claus, right?

spk_0 It's a collective effort.

spk_0 It's what the spirit has done in number form.

spk_0 And so to say that don't exactly trust stats,

spk_0 you know, go with the field,

spk_0 watch the player, et cetera, et cetera.

spk_0 And I don't think the smartest things say in 2025.

spk_0 One number about stats and

spk_0 Shoeb Malik is that before the 2019 World Cup,

spk_0 there was a start going around about Shoeb Malik's

spk_0 average in England.

spk_0 And the average was in the teens.

spk_0 And people said Shoeb Malik cannot play in England.

spk_0 Shoeb Malik went to England.

spk_0 Heidore, yeah, World Cup.

spk_0 Duck against England.

spk_0 Really no runs in that entire ODI World Cup there.

spk_0 So proving again, why numbers actually they do matter.

spk_0 That's why he hates them.

spk_0 It makes sense.

spk_0 I think the boxland had an incredibly amazing power play.

spk_0 I think you and I said,

spk_0 34 in the power play and boxland in the game.

spk_0 At the end, he was last or what for 11 runs?

spk_0 11 runs.

spk_0 A bit expensive.

spk_0 He balled a loose little bit towards

spk_0 the left side.

spk_0 That shot.

spk_0 With the like that ball, good shot.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I mean, you can't do that with the like where I'm I think

spk_0 just a lapse of judgment again,

spk_0 shows that if a he was not a regular baller,

spk_0 two, maybe three in the span of the entire game is the max that you can push him,

spk_0 which is not to say that you cannot develop him still

spk_0 into a proper four or a baller like heartic band is.

spk_0 You can still do that.

spk_0 There's six months to go.

spk_0 Give him more conflict.

spk_0 I like that.

spk_0 I like giving confidence after the previous two games that he had.

spk_0 And he was taking a break and bowling pretty good in the power play.

spk_0 I was like, I'm just gonna stick with this.

spk_0 And that gave other option to like

spk_0 withhold the bra with hold time,

spk_0 bring them in the in the squeeze overs and the squeeze was on.

spk_0 Look, Bahim has bold out of his skin.

spk_0 He's he's performing beyond my expectations.

spk_0 This was the Bahim much of that was promised eight years ago.

spk_0 Took him eight years, but he's here now.

spk_0 And I still think there's lots of room for improvement

spk_0 with respect to him learning how to swing a new ball.

spk_0 The out swing at least at least learn one swing from the increases pace.

spk_0 Work on his fitness levels.

spk_0 Because if he could keep bowling the new ball like this and adding a number eight,

spk_0 adding batting depth, he could be that guy who gives us a good

spk_0 balance in our team.

spk_0 Looking forward to our tournaments in Pakistan and then the World Cup in

spk_0 Sri Lanka, he could be key there.

spk_0 Again, so post power play, all of our brings on Nawaz,

spk_0 which I'm like, you know, it's not the worst call.

spk_0 A bra is our best boulder.

spk_0 He's our best spinner and you're bringing Nawaz ahead of a bra.

spk_0 I thought that was a question we'll call him.

spk_0 I mean, it was an attack cricket.

spk_0 They would have charged Nawaz nonetheless because Nawaz,

spk_0 they would have seen Nawaz as the Tilek Worm over in the Indian batting line,

spk_0 in the Indian bowling line up and we'll charge him for that.

spk_0 And he did get hit if for one four, which I think was a bad ball as much as it was a good shot.

spk_0 By only goes for six three dots.

spk_0 So I thought, yeah, but then they were at highest for Oof and then things go so.

spk_0 He went for seven as well.

spk_0 So thing was still on the control at that point.

spk_0 The runway had 43 years last three.

spk_0 His first or seven or not.

spk_0 Not even his complete last three.

spk_0 Yeah, Pakistan was still like India was slowly building a partnership there.

spk_0 Requiredry was climbing over eight and over.

spk_0 And once a bra came into place,

spk_0 India started to rotate really well.

spk_0 And there was also a drop catch of Sandhu Samson on the body of a bra.

spk_0 Shorthball hit away towards deep at the back of the sand.

spk_0 Sandhu goes for the catch, the ball pops out of his hands.

spk_0 And I wouldn't say it was the most expensive drop catch,

spk_0 but Samson did come back and make a buck.

spk_0 The paper rate I think he doubled his score.

spk_0 At least he was on 14 or 12.

spk_0 12.

spk_0 Yeah, I doubled his score.

spk_0 Yeah, yeah.

spk_0 So I mean, again, you get Samson out there.

spk_0 You got Dubé and earlier or you get a drop.

spk_0 I think he ran for one.

spk_0 So you see a single you got a drop ball.

spk_0 You get to do it earlier, new batsman in.

spk_0 And again, when Dubé came in,

spk_0 whenever Sandhu did get out, he played three dots.

spk_0 Like going back to, you know,

spk_0 if a number seven ranked team wants to beat the number one ranked team,

spk_0 they've got to take these chances.

spk_0 And at this level of focus on, uh,

spk_0 she'll take in that catch.

spk_0 At this point, um,

spk_0 a Brian Simon have also been introduced.

spk_0 And a Brian Simon are blowing their hats out.

spk_0 Simon three or for 16,

spk_0 a bar four for 29 and one.

spk_0 He does eventually take the crucial wicket of Sandhu Samson

spk_0 and a great catch by the way.

spk_0 No, no, sorry.

spk_0 That was not.

spk_0 Who got him?

spk_0 Uh, it was caught on backward point.

spk_0 I think it was by a good catch.

spk_0 It was rolling over.

spk_0 And, um,

spk_0 I mean, honestly, a browser.

spk_0 I got a wicket a long time ago.

spk_0 But eventually he did.

spk_0 And in between that,

spk_0 Tila Verma has quietly built up a proper stance here.

spk_0 And he's, he's building up his innings.

spk_0 And there was a moment,

spk_0 I think we should talk about where they ran for two.

spk_0 Oh, no, he runs a single.

spk_0 He was coming back for two Tila Verma is.

spk_0 And he denied that single by Sandhu.

spk_0 He runs it right back.

spk_0 And what happens?

spk_0 Uh, not by the way.

spk_0 Oh, yeah,

spk_0 because the way is a bit of a stiff runner.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And he runs back and

spk_0 the hardest,

spk_0 collects the delivery.

spk_0 And there's not hit the stumps.

spk_0 Yeah, he takes some extra fraction of a second to hit the stumps,

spk_0 which is more than enough time for Tila Verma to come back.

spk_0 And I want to understand what he's always going on in his head.

spk_0 And what was what was going on in his environment?

spk_0 He's wearing the helmets.

spk_0 He's wearing the grill.

spk_0 Things are a bit more closed off.

spk_0 And does does he not see that?

spk_0 Did I like where Ma is not,

spk_0 he's not made it or he's struggling?

spk_0 That's the only excuse I can give that, you know,

spk_0 because the back was starting behind.

spk_0 His back is behind Tila Verma.

spk_0 He can't see what's happening behind him.

spk_0 And the door here,

spk_0 I don't know if he can hear or not,

spk_0 but the door comes in and he just takes an extra second

spk_0 to hit the stumps.

spk_0 That could have been Tila Verma run out there.

spk_0 And Tila Verma was on the 30s,

spk_0 the late late 30s, early 40s.

spk_0 Could have been the game right there.

spk_0 Again, you have to take those chances.

spk_0 You have to hit the stumps,

spk_0 even have a half chance like that.

spk_0 Most for the most part,

spk_0 Hires has been quite swift behind the stumps.

spk_0 And he's really quick and taking the bales off and all that.

spk_0 But he was just trying to be cheeky.

spk_0 He didn't smash his hand into the stumps

spk_0 as you would have seen.

spk_0 He just tried to click the bale.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And again, that's him being cheeky

spk_0 as opposed to being proactive,

spk_0 which is maybe there is a half chance.

spk_0 But at least I did not take the half chances.

spk_0 And they were given plenty.

spk_0 They were given a full chance.

spk_0 They didn't take a two half chances

spk_0 with their two run outs.

spk_0 I think there's a big learning for Pakistan.

spk_0 Just by watching how

spk_0 the Lack Verma,

spk_0 Sandu Samson conducted the duvet progress

spk_0 and built their innings.

spk_0 Samson came into bat when India was 23 in the park play.

spk_0 The Lack Verma and Samson have a 57 on partnership

spk_0 of 50 balls.

spk_0 They rebuilt the innings.

spk_0 They have a platform set for genuine six hitters.

spk_0 Like duvet to come in,

spk_0 the rink was in to come in.

spk_0 Akshavar, we're talking to him get to bat.

spk_0 And that partnership then set up for duvet

spk_0 into the Lack Verma to hit 60 of 40 balls.

spk_0 I think that one over by hottest row

spk_0 that really changed the entire momentum

spk_0 where the first ball duvet gets a boundary.

spk_0 And then they hit two more boundaries

spk_0 and that same over making it into like a 16, 17 on over.

spk_0 Because I think there was at one point

spk_0 64 needed in six overs.

spk_0 And then that 17 on over happened.

spk_0 64 was needed.

spk_0 So here's the situation.

spk_0 That 15th over, people say that a branch of oil should have balled that.

spk_0 I'm looking online.

spk_0 People literally have called us.

spk_0 Shara is after the way for listening.

spk_0 He called us and he gave me a voice and he's like

spk_0 that 15th over should have gone to a branch.

spk_0 He should have balled him out.

spk_0 He would have gone for maybe five, six, eight, even.

spk_0 He wouldn't have gone for 17.

spk_0 Maybe there was an opportunity to take a bucket there as well.

spk_0 And what that does is he goes for two fours and a six.

spk_0 And if you notice, a bar comes that comes in for the better people saying

spk_0 that they should have a bar should have balled with what over.

spk_0 The over that, uh,

spk_0 a higher spend for 17.

spk_0 Because it was how would that change things?

spk_0 I'll tell you it was a bra sign.

spk_0 A bra sign.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 The momentum that India got from that over the 15th over

spk_0 carried forward into the 16th over because

spk_0 duvet hit a bar for another six.

spk_0 It was back to back sixes.

spk_0 Also, they're saying that you should have balled time

spk_0 a fourth over.

spk_0 No, no, no, they're saying ball a bra that 15th over which are

spk_0 Oh, a bra, the 15th over end of 14 with Simon end of 15 was Harris.

spk_0 They're saying the end of 15, which is the over number 15 should have been

spk_0 balled by a bra not by Harris.

spk_0 So in that case, probably then,

spk_0 Harris drove does not ball four overs.

spk_0 He boasts three overs.

spk_0 Because it would have been then, um,

spk_0 then he would have had to come ball time again.

spk_0 Right after that.

spk_0 Look, I think that caused that side or it's a hind side.

spk_0 Like a hot as drove.

spk_0 I came in the pressure defender.

spk_0 He said, look, a hot as well.

spk_0 Was baller.

spk_0 Seven runs and then his first over.

spk_0 He is Pakistan's highest pick a ticket.

spk_0 And this format, uh, he is the guy you trust to come in and get wicked.

spk_0 So I think going for hot as I think the word was not about call.

spk_0 I mean, he went for 17.

spk_0 There was some bad balling.

spk_0 There was bad execution.

spk_0 They were going to go after him nonetheless.

spk_0 The 66, sorry, 64 and six, which are over 10 and a half needed to win this.

spk_0 Yeah, they were going to go.

spk_0 They were going to go.

spk_0 And if Harris knew that they were going to go out and we should have both smarter.

spk_0 I mean, you could see, I wasn't saying why, you know, it might have been 2004

spk_0 of a jihad, my dad, he's your brother.

spk_0 He's a good guy.

spk_0 Remember that?

spk_0 I mean, the interviewer is the box on.

spk_0 Moonghan was like bad thing or something.

spk_0 Well, I don't know who was bad.

spk_0 Moonghan was bad thing.

spk_0 Yeah, thank you.

spk_0 Thank you for letting him go like inside.

spk_0 Yeah, he tied out like move away.

spk_0 Go attack.

spk_0 It was kind of like that reminded me of that.

spk_0 But

spk_0 yeah, I mean, I expect Harris was a veteran.

spk_0 He is a veteran.

spk_0 He's been six years in the circuit for Boxing was in 2022.

spk_0 Boxing versus USA 2024.

spk_0 He's been there.

spk_0 He's bold last over many times before, many times before.

spk_0 I expect him not to get hit for 17.

spk_0 10, I can expect except two bad balls six and four.

spk_0 A couple here and there.

spk_0 That's fine.

spk_0 He gets it for three boundaries.

spk_0 Again, you know, what's concerning is that

spk_0 has to come down from the dressing room to pass the message

spk_0 to give signals on where the ball.

spk_0 It seems like these guys cannot remember

spk_0 bowling plans or the worst part is if they do remember it,

spk_0 they cannot execute that.

spk_0 Because I think what has inside is that he was

spk_0 bowling from the wrong angle.

spk_0 He was going around the wicket

spk_0 to the Lekwara Ma and Dube.

spk_0 And he wanted him to go over the wicket

spk_0 and have holding him wide, he offers on the off stump there,

spk_0 which he did after the later on.

spk_0 Yes, but that momentum set up again,

spk_0 Dube hit Harris for four on the first ball of his over.

spk_0 And he did the same thing for

spk_0 Abra and both those over and over 10,

spk_0 17 and 11 right there.

spk_0 The game was pretty much done.

spk_0 30 and 10, 33.

spk_0 It sounds like 10 and over, but it's actually not.

spk_0 It's actually not.

spk_0 Shrine comes in.

spk_0 I think it was good capency again, bringing Shrine right there.

spk_0 He only gave six, which made a little bit of a game out of it.

spk_0 Hardest in his second last over,

spk_0 both relatively better,

spk_0 apart from that wide, which is again a questionable wide.

spk_0 I think it was still a good call because it was

spk_0 it had passed the stomach before he hit the crack of the other stump.

spk_0 The other wicket literally, good collection by mom with Harris in the back too.

spk_0 He was sort of collected, he had collected it.

spk_0 It was 15 balls since the last boundary, 24 or 14 needed.

spk_0 Last one of the over, low full toss hit six.

spk_0 Yeah, this is the pressure situation,

spk_0 the high intensity situation where you want your big players

spk_0 to execute their plans and deliver.

spk_0 And this is the highest row of his a veteran.

spk_0 His numbers are up there with Umar Gould in terms of

spk_0 taking wicket to box on, having strike rates,

spk_0 and

spk_0 not able to nail his yorkers.

spk_0 This is not the first time it's happened.

spk_0 You know what, this is it's sort of a continuous,

spk_0 it's a repetitive trend,

spk_0 whether it be against India at the MCG,

spk_0 whether it be against USA, fall runs through balls.

spk_0 So last year, and Dallas,

spk_0 or now here against India.

spk_0 Even if he had gone for two shots last over,

spk_0 his over would have finished for nine,

spk_0 would have would have given a little bit more question to

spk_0 Bahim who I still thought both a great over, he got hit for a four,

spk_0 but he took the way his wicket as well was a dot,

spk_0 and the wicket he only went for seven.

spk_0 Last over would have needed 14,

spk_0 could have been different ball game altogether.

spk_0 I still think getting it for six against the Lekwara

spk_0 and getting over the two runs that he got,

spk_0 which I think was a good delivery.

spk_0 It was almost a half chance for a catch.

spk_0 But you know, should have could have would have game over.

spk_0 India become tapens and think really funny thing is that

spk_0 Rinku Singh has plays face to one ball that's entire A'sha Cup.

spk_0 He came in for the finals, he played the last ball of his,

spk_0 of this tournament.

spk_0 It's a fair boundary and pre tournament,

spk_0 he said that his dream is to hit the winning nice windia

spk_0 and pre tournament that would have been just like an outside thought

spk_0 because he wasn't even the plans to play.

spk_0 What was the card situation?

spk_0 Would he write these down somewhere, apparently?

spk_0 No, he was a pre tournament interview.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 Too Sony.

spk_0 Oh, I see.

spk_0 And he wrote that he wanted to finish.

spk_0 No, he didn't.

spk_0 He didn't write into the he said an interview.

spk_0 Oh, okay.

spk_0 Dastin, what are your goals for the watching the postnight

spk_0 was done tonight and the they were showing a card.

spk_0 I don't know what that was.

spk_0 Maybe he wrote it down as well.

spk_0 I missed that.

spk_0 Yeah, I missed that.

spk_0 But India again, you know, when they shut up unbeaten,

spk_0 I think Delegh Verma, he needs to be given a lot more credit

spk_0 for the innings he played for.

spk_0 You know, he came in for three, built a partnership,

spk_0 showed a lot of game sense, situational awareness

spk_0 and hit the bad balls for boundaries.

spk_0 He made sure that, you know, his partners in Samsung

spk_0 and Dubai also played really well.

spk_0 And finished the match towards the end.

spk_0 And I think India has a really good star on his hand

spk_0 with Delegh Verma there.

spk_0 Comrades to India, well played.

spk_0 The right relationship to the team India.

spk_0 Definitely.

spk_0 One thing I will say is, you know,

spk_0 the number one ranked team,

spk_0 facing a number seven ranked team,

spk_0 should not have the match coming this close.

spk_0 Especially when you're coming out

spk_0 and it's in saying that there is no rivalry.

spk_0 Just let a remind everybody.

spk_0 Again, this is to respond to.

spk_0 The Indian captain Sky saying that there is no

spk_0 in-diversist Pakistan rivalry.

spk_0 When I remind you all, the head-to-head numbers

spk_0 in-diversist Pakistan across formats.

spk_0 211 matches.

spk_0 India 179.

spk_0 Pakistan 188.

spk_0 Pakistan ahead nine matches.

spk_0 This is across formats and tests,

spk_0 OODS to join eyes.

spk_0 Pakistan still ahead overall on tests and OODN numbers.

spk_0 Going decade by decade,

spk_0 Pakistan leading the winning charts

spk_0 in 1970s,

spk_0 1980s,

spk_0 1980s as Correz Pakistan 23, India 10,

spk_0 1990s,

spk_0 Pakistan 28, India 18,

spk_0 2000s,

spk_0 Pakistan 25, India 23.

spk_0 It's only in the last 15 years

spk_0 where India has had the upper hand.

spk_0 And it is also because in the last 15 years,

spk_0 India has only played one series

spk_0 which they lost at home in ODIs

spk_0 and T20Is did group.

spk_0 So what does this mean?

spk_0 The less they play, the better they get.

spk_0 I think it's just about eras.

spk_0 I think I'll go to the best in the post-past.

spk_0 There was a time where Pakistan used to be in India for fun.

spk_0 Whether it be in charge or whether it be in India,

spk_0 I think Pakistan actually has a better winning record

spk_0 of winning in India.

spk_0 They have 125 matches.

spk_0 India has lost 21 matches at home,

spk_0 but they have a better record of beating India in India.

spk_0 So it's all about eras.

spk_0 There's eras of when Pakistan used to beat them.

spk_0 Now India is really good.

spk_0 They're beating us continuously across formats, across venues.

spk_0 And just the one thing is, just stay humble.

spk_0 Cricket is a funny sport.

spk_0 Things can change anytime around.

spk_0 Things got to have been really funny for India today.

spk_0 There's a few more wickets here

spk_0 and there are a few more runs on the top.

spk_0 Sky would not have had a place to hide

spk_0 if this match went south.

spk_0 And what you did, he was 24-3, he was in the dugout.

spk_0 Trust me, a lot of the Pakistani fans

spk_0 would have reminded Sky what he said.

spk_0 What his thoughts about the Pakistan cricket team

spk_0 and the rivalry sent reverberations down

spk_0 the access of Pakistan cricket.

spk_0 Everybody followed the sport heard it.

spk_0 And so we would have definitely made a mess out of it.

spk_0 At the same time, I don't think this is the last time

spk_0 we're seeing them as Pakistan cricket fans.

spk_0 I think in six months, we'll probably be talking about

spk_0 a World Cup game.

spk_0 As it stands right now, the pooling has not been done.

spk_0 And what pooling?

spk_0 You mean like guys getting together in a medium

spk_0 and deciding which team should be curated

spk_0 to put in which group.

spk_0 So we can ensure India or Spokas on match.

spk_0 I'll still do a signal match.

spk_0 You're talking about that pooling.

spk_0 I think if this drama will continue,

spk_0 I wish there's no more India versus Spokas on match.

spk_0 And the next I see events.

spk_0 Right now, the I see this chair is Jay Shah.

spk_0 Jay Shah, if you actually like want to follow

spk_0 what your government is doing,

spk_0 don't put them in the same group.

spk_0 But you know what, it's going to happen again.

spk_0 Why?

spk_0 Because the broadcasters want it.

spk_0 Bro, three India versus Spokas on games

spk_0 in this high octane temperature with stuff said

spk_0 in and outside of the field.

spk_0 How do you expect the broadcasters of the ICC

spk_0 where the money actually goes to say no to that?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 No matter what you do, this will happen again.

spk_0 What we can hope or honestly speaking,

spk_0 is better communication and better ties between the two countries.

spk_0 Because what we've seen in the past three weeks

spk_0 has not brought anybody closer to the game.

spk_0 What do you mean the better communication?

spk_0 Do you think like can India now

spk_0 step back this whole handshake thing?

spk_0 Do you think next work up a little start shaking hands?

spk_0 No, do you think if they do do want to shake hands with Pakistan

spk_0 and be like sure let's shake hands now?

spk_0 Like, you know, how do you step back from a stance like this?

spk_0 It's look, there's definitely,

spk_0 it's from both sides.

spk_0 Why is the box on cricket more chairman, a memeer?

spk_0 Why is he posting AI videos ever, we're not all doing it

spk_0 and saying all this stuff, right?

spk_0 He's also not helping defuse the tensions.

spk_0 He's also aggravating those tensions.

spk_0 And now who looks like the clown?

spk_0 He stood there in the podium, nobody came

spk_0 because like the trophy,

spk_0 and he apparently took the trophy away.

spk_0 I don't know if this is legit news.

spk_0 I don't really trust Indian media like that.

spk_0 But they said he took the trophy away and that's why they were out of this.

spk_0 Trophy and medals, and it was an hour long wait.

spk_0 Where is he going to take the box on?

spk_0 Obviously he was going to give it to them.

spk_0 So I don't know exactly where that story is

spk_0 and what the exact findings of it.

spk_0 Obviously as it is passed by,

spk_0 we'll know more into detail what that was.

spk_0 But I don't think box on has helped their case as well.

spk_0 There was a moment where the boxing cricket board

spk_0 chairman was considering pulling out of the A-Shirt Cup

spk_0 against the game against UE.

spk_0 So it's not, I see the aggravation more from the Indian side

spk_0 because they're more of a mass digs.

spk_0 They're also winning so they have the opportunity

spk_0 to have these gestures and moments to say this that and the other.

spk_0 But box on is not really helping their case

spk_0 by being who they are as well.

spk_0 From both sides, I want, firstly, it has to come from the top.

spk_0 More the coming out and tweeting what he tweeted.

spk_0 Abysmal, shocking, reprehensible,

spk_0 bringing cricket and war into the same plate field.

spk_0 That's not good.

spk_0 This is not the 90s or the 80s.

spk_0 We're going to just joke about it.

spk_0 Like in Manahan, we'll play cricket.

spk_0 We'll play cricket over Kashmir and see who does not

spk_0 that temperature at all.

spk_0 Read the room guys.

spk_0 Same thing for PCB chairman as well.

spk_0 He did not read the room.

spk_0 I don't think Modi is good reading the room.

spk_0 Have you seen the clips of the post-match

spk_0 audio or cap panel?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I've seen that.

spk_0 That's that's that's that's that.

spk_0 I'll ask you it.

spk_0 He said that.

spk_0 I think he heard that.

spk_0 I think it was Rohit who was handed his pocket.

spk_0 He took Rohit's hands out of his pocket.

spk_0 Oh, I remember this.

spk_0 Oh, yeah, I think we talked about it here on the phone as well.

spk_0 So I'm going to just look back.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Last thought on that.

spk_0 Cricket has

spk_0 over the years, you know, from the post-1999

spk_0 Cargill War all the way to the 2008

spk_0 massacre terrorist attack.

spk_0 In those eight to ten years,

spk_0 cricket really helped bridge a lot of those gaps

spk_0 between those two countries.

spk_0 Fade was opened up the whole Amankiyasha thing.

spk_0 You know, I know everybody in the United Red Eagles that now.

spk_0 But so much cricket happened even when we were talking about it.

spk_0 We had so much so many iconic series,

spk_0 iconic moments that we can go over and over again.

spk_0 You know, three one three against

spk_0 333 percent.

spk_0 The Seabuck people sent to the Multan.

spk_0 As if

spk_0 Shue Baghdair all those guys, right?

spk_0 Shiaidafi the hitting post-1999.

spk_0 It's bomb-a-downs, Patrick.

spk_0 As if he had to talk about the ten minutes.

spk_0 Baji, yeah.

spk_0 Exactly.

spk_0 But he's boycoher in Bhaqsan.

spk_0 That needs to start again.

spk_0 I don't know how that will happen.

spk_0 Eventually, this government has to go.

spk_0 That government has to go.

spk_0 People will have to come back together.

spk_0 At the end of the day,

spk_0 I can see it in our Patreon chat, man.

spk_0 We have Indians in our Patreon chat.

spk_0 We're all respectable.

spk_0 We joke about each other.

spk_0 It's light-hearted banter.

spk_0 That's how it should be.

spk_0 It should not be what we saw in the past three weeks.

spk_0 What I saw in the past three weeks was

spk_0 the death of cricket in front of my eyes.

spk_0 It was not fun to cover this,

spk_0 go back and see what he said.

spk_0 And that said, he said,

spk_0 it was none of this was enjoyable to us at all.

spk_0 We love cricket.

spk_0 We love watching good cricket.

spk_0 Even if it's India winning.

spk_0 We idiot one.

spk_0 The time is when we recovered everything.

spk_0 We were there.

spk_0 I stood up when we're not called he'd a centred.

spk_0 I stood up.

spk_0 He's the greatest.

spk_0 You have to do it.

spk_0 Right?

spk_0 But at the same time,

spk_0 this cannot go on much longer.

spk_0 I thought,

spk_0 if anybody has missed some early out of the suppressor,

spk_0 I implore you to check it out at least last seven minutes.

spk_0 I think what he the composer he had on taking on,

spk_0 not only Boxline journalists,

spk_0 but Indian journalists and telling them exactly how it is,

spk_0 just laying it out straight.

spk_0 No difficult or doing list.

spk_0 I haven't played cricket like this ever before.

spk_0 This is unprecedented in waters.

spk_0 I don't like it.

spk_0 It's disrespectful.

spk_0 You know, he really composed himself.

spk_0 Didn't use any harsh words if there was

spk_0 Chai Dhaafi Dheer or any other captain.

spk_0 Ron Han there.

spk_0 Even Miss Baha would have, you know,

spk_0 chatted a bit.

spk_0 I did.

spk_0 I really held this composure.

spk_0 I was proud that Saman and Liao Ge

spk_0 is the Boxline cricket team captain.

spk_0 Because he not only represented the Boxline cricket team,

spk_0 but he represented all of us sane minds saying,

spk_0 this is wrong.

spk_0 I'll call it out,

spk_0 but that does not mean that I'm going to,

spk_0 you know, as they say,

spk_0 wrestle with the pig because

spk_0 you get dirty in the paylacks.

spk_0 I want to just look back on this Asha Cup.

spk_0 I'm just been going on for like an hour and a half.

spk_0 A long podcast, guys.

spk_0 But how am I going to look back on this podcast?

spk_0 For this Asha Cup actually,

spk_0 from a box on P.O.V.

spk_0 What have we learned?

spk_0 What do we need to improve on?

spk_0 And what do we go from here?

spk_0 Where do we go from here?

spk_0 Before that,

spk_0 the next fixtures for India are the India versus

spk_0 West Indies test series happening in India,

spk_0 M.D.Bod and Delhi.

spk_0 And then they go to Australia for O.D.I.

spk_0 So their calendar is packed right after this.

spk_0 Not a moment's break.

spk_0 Literally the test match starts in like 72 hours after this.

spk_0 So India are definitely packed up.

spk_0 Boxline also have a couple of weeks break.

spk_0 And then they go straight into South Africa.

spk_0 I think O.D.I. series was it?

spk_0 The test series O.D.I.

spk_0 is T20 eyes and then the tri series in November.

spk_0 So just looking back at this entire the last few months,

spk_0 this is a post PSL.

spk_0 Mike has become the boxline career coach.

spk_0 Pre PSL, San Juan Angle becomes the

spk_0 boxline T20 I captain.

spk_0 And so far, this is the boxline record

spk_0 against under Mike has his coaching.

spk_0 21 matches, 14, 1, 7 lost,

spk_0 67% percentage series 1 in Bangladesh at home.

spk_0 Straight to one against West Indies in the USA.

spk_0 Tri series win in Charger.

spk_0 And you beat every single team in the A.S.A. Cup

spk_0 aside from the number one ranked team, which is India.

spk_0 And you got close points.

spk_0 You beat Sri Lanka, you beat Bangladesh,

spk_0 Pakistan, step in this A.S.A. Cup as underdogs.

spk_0 Nobody, no analysts, no comment here to give box on the chance.

spk_0 Because I even make the finals.

spk_0 I said, I said, Pakistan, if they make top three,

spk_0 that should be when if they beat Bangladesh,

spk_0 they beat Sri Lanka, that should be when.

spk_0 Because I feel like cricket right now,

spk_0 it can be divided into two categories.

spk_0 Two tiers.

spk_0 There's India, England, Australia,

spk_0 New Zealand, South Africa.

spk_0 That's two.

spk_0 Tier two is Pakistan,

spk_0 Sri Lanka,

spk_0 Afghanistan,

spk_0 West Indies,

spk_0 Bangladesh,

spk_0 and Bangladesh.

spk_0 So I think Pakistan is somewhere

spk_0 in the upper end of that second tier.

spk_0 Right in the middle out there.

spk_0 And if they can be West Indies,

spk_0 they can be the Vanity.

spk_0 Which they have in the past six months.

spk_0 They have beat Afghanistan in the finals.

spk_0 West Indies in the USA,

spk_0 Sri Lanka,

spk_0 and Atlanta,

spk_0 and Massachusetts to perform Bangladesh

spk_0 in a virtual semi-final.

spk_0 This is a step four for the Pakistan team.

spk_0 You know, last year,

spk_0 I remind you all,

spk_0 we lost against Ireland.

spk_0 We lost against USA.

spk_0 We couldn't make it past the first group stage

spk_0 of the Tierney World Cup.

spk_0 This was a group containing Ireland,

spk_0 Canada, USA,

spk_0 and India.

spk_0 So for Pakistan to now come back from all that

spk_0 and make it to the finals,

spk_0 that was what our last post was about.

spk_0 We got a lot of hate on that.

spk_0 But again, you're forgetting where you're coming from.

spk_0 To expect these guys

spk_0 who are sort of playing one of their first major tournaments.

spk_0 This is Simes First Tournament.

spk_0 This is for Hans First Tournament.

spk_0 It's a high-distance.

spk_0 It's 24 World Cup.

spk_0 Okay, sure.

spk_0 I miss it.

spk_0 Sure, sure.

spk_0 High-distance First Major A-Chekup,

spk_0 and he's being able to get into World Cup.

spk_0 Hassan Abbas.

spk_0 Who's Hassan Abbas?

spk_0 Did Fahim play Tierney World Cup?

spk_0 He did the Champions League.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 He's been there for a while.

spk_0 Fahim has been there for a while.

spk_0 For Hans First Tournament.

spk_0 So Fahim was the first to Van Bokim.

spk_0

spk_0 So a lot of other guys.

spk_0 It's right now you're looking basically at

spk_0 a six-pons away from Tierney World Cup.

spk_0 And I think

spk_0 the calls to remove Awa from the captaincy.

spk_0 It's shocking.

spk_0 Should not be the case.

spk_0 Can his batting improve?

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Sure did him.

spk_0 Can his striker improve?

spk_0

spk_0 Because you can't take out Bavar Asim,

spk_0 who's striker 130,

spk_0 averages in his 40s,

spk_0 and replace him with Salmanaga,

spk_0 who averages in his 20s,

spk_0 and it's structured 110.

spk_0 You're sort of going against what you're saying.

spk_0 You're saying you want to play

spk_0 modern day cricket,

spk_0 high intensity cricket,

spk_0 but your numbers aren't backing that up.

spk_0 Actually, nobody's numbered in this box.

spk_0 Asan team may be apart from Hassan Noan's.

spk_0 Can back up in this modern style of play.

spk_0 In this past six,

spk_0 20, 20, I think it's not really.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 So there are a lot of gaping holes in this box.

spk_0 We're not going to sit behind this A-Shackup final

spk_0 and be like, okay, everything is good.

spk_0 Also, that's it for the next World Cup.

spk_0 No, there are a lot of issues in this box.

spk_0 What is Simon Youth's form?

spk_0 Is Fakhar Salman going to play the next World Cup?

spk_0

spk_0 Is Fakhar Salman going to play the next World Cup?

spk_0 Yeah, can Hassan Noan's play quality spin?

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Can Salmanaga be a batter who can lead

spk_0 from the front as a captain?

spk_0 Can he improve his tactical changes?

spk_0 He's been a good captain so far.

spk_0 Can Haris use his brain when he's about batting?

spk_0 When Haris is around with Haris, he's been giving a lot of chances.

spk_0 Okay, let's talk about the elephant in the room as well.

spk_0 Because the groomer is about 56 coming in the team.

spk_0 I've been louder and prouder than ever.

spk_0 There were groomers that he wanted to be inserted in mid-tornament,

spk_0 but you obviously can't do that because those groomers weren't as strong as the other ones.

spk_0 People thought he was coming Dubai, but he was acting so the only

spk_0 and then now he's in Europe chilling.

spk_0 But 56 back in the team, you think it's happening?

spk_0 And if it is, you thought.

spk_0 Look, I think right now the feeling in the dugout

spk_0 at the box on campus at everyone's obviously very sad.

spk_0 They're gutted.

spk_0 But I think Mike's quite happy with how a box on his earnup.

spk_0 Even how bad they were the last few months or so.

spk_0 And so there are positives to take from this.

spk_0 Mike has again, he's gone on record and he's identified issues on Bob's Strike rate.

spk_0 He's aiming at spin.

spk_0 Our next World Cup is going to be in Sri Lanka.

spk_0 And Bob will play those spin wickets.

spk_0 But the next World Cup being in Sri Lanka means that the World Cup will not be

spk_0 a 200 plus scoring World Cup.

spk_0 Yeah, probably 150 to 180, which suits Bob's style really well.

spk_0 Yeah, absolutely.

spk_0 I think,

spk_0 uh,

spk_0 Pakistan,

spk_0 you know, you kind of just box yourself in with this style of play.

spk_0 I think the best way to do this is, you know,

spk_0 you look at par scores on venues you want to play in.

spk_0 And you look at what sort of guys can you fit in in those batting positions

spk_0 to get to that not par, but above par total.

spk_0 Because right now Pakistan as a batting unit in the past few years,

spk_0 we are struggling to set up totals looking back at the T20 World Cup Final in 2022.

spk_0 Pakistan 100 score 200 on a MCG pace.

spk_0 That was probably 160 par.

spk_0 You get to 140.

spk_0 You almost make a game out of it.

spk_0 Same today.

spk_0 Same all three matches against India.

spk_0 You did not know how to score and go to total.

spk_0 First match, you just crashed in World 127.

spk_0 Second match, you should have scored 200.

spk_0 You got to 175.

spk_0 Today you scored a single scored 180 and you get bounded off 146.

spk_0 Yep, underscore every time.

spk_0 Even the MCG game, you should have scored more than 160.

spk_0 You should have scored 180.

spk_0 You know, that they game would have been that invested.

spk_0 My thoughts on 56 coming back.

spk_0 It would be interesting to see 56 under this hasn't had has an management.

spk_0 I think it's inevitable.

spk_0 I think whatever you and I say right now, uh,

spk_0 or against.

spk_0 I don't think this team has made the case for them to be the lone warriors going into the

spk_0 into the 220 World Cup.

spk_0 I think the Pakistan team historically has panicked.

spk_0 And even though this time, I'm again,

spk_0 cool down to the management for not panicking and actually playing this

spk_0 the same lads and actually putting them through the rig.

spk_0 A little bit they went like they played in the against India three times,

spk_0 which is really good.

spk_0 Six months, they're probably going to play in India again,

spk_0 which is going to be a good reminder of how to actually battle that.

spk_0 Fear.

spk_0 I don't think a lot of these guys felt fearful today.

spk_0 The first game was very different from this game in terms of the body language.

spk_0 Bullying was outstanding.

spk_0 And so we're really going to one department.

spk_0 The bullying, the feeling has really improved as well.

spk_0 The the batting.

spk_0 You and I have we don't hate Bobber again.

spk_0 I have to preface this.

spk_0 We don't hate Bobber.

spk_0 I think Bobber is a class player.

spk_0 He deserves to be in the T Tony's the test spot.

spk_0 He deserves to be in the ODI spot.

spk_0 He needs to be in those spots.

spk_0 And he needs to perform in those spots for sure.

spk_0 If you really have no choice and you really,

spk_0 really need Bobber in this team to get some sort of quote, quote, stability.

spk_0 I would like to see what that looks like.

spk_0 And there's the management.

spk_0 You probably will in this ODI and test series and T Tony's reason.

spk_0 And so that for the next few weeks.

spk_0 Yeah, we're going to find out in the next few weeks

spk_0 where their power comes back in this team.

spk_0 I think right now one of the other issues is that we have just

spk_0 way to any openers playing, right?

spk_0 Yeah, for Han, for her, you have Simon, you have Hades,

spk_0 has no loss potentially.

spk_0 So I think having the right guys for the right positions would be good.

spk_0 I would even argue, you know, having Rizwan back could be an argument

spk_0 because Hades has not really delivered in the last few months.

spk_0 And a canner's wand come back and you come back in the middle order.

spk_0 But I think I do want to say one thing.

spk_0 I think bringing back Bobber in his wand would be a step backwards.

spk_0 I think when you're six months away from tournament

spk_0 and you want to back the same guys,

spk_0 like Meg Wander between us here and there, but nothing drastic.

spk_0 Stick with these same guys.

spk_0 You already invested in them in the past few months.

spk_0 Play one tournament under this satellite era

spk_0 and see where it goes from there.

spk_0 We've given all of the big opportunities.

spk_0 I'll ask three, four years to that.

spk_0 This is Rizwan partnership and really got us nowhere.

spk_0 But right now I think our issues remain the same.

spk_0 The faces have changed.

spk_0 So I think I hope Mike can use his brains, his his paintings and

spk_0 analysis to work on these small tactical errors,

spk_0 these issues of executing plans with the block of players.

spk_0 And not only that, but I also convey those same messages to Nakhvianco

spk_0 and the management up there to let him stick with these guys.

spk_0 Because I think there is potential here.

spk_0 Box and cricket has moved three steps forward,

spk_0 one step back for sure.

spk_0 But the momentum, I like to keep saying,

spk_0 it's still up into the right.

spk_0 Gun to your head if you actually had to put Rizwan in Bobber

spk_0 or Bobber into the team, which one would you have to?

spk_0 Which one would you pick?

spk_0 I would choose Bobber.

spk_0 You would choose Bobber and top three somewhere?

spk_0 Top three somewhere.

spk_0 Yeah, I think I would choose Bobber as well,

spk_0 which means that you would stay with Haris.

spk_0 I would stay with Haris.

spk_0 Just because he can provide you with a flexibility,

spk_0 maybe at number seven, number eight as a finisher.

spk_0 Okay, even though I think his best stop is boss bot is still number three.

spk_0 I think for that, I also think my hall take is a lot of our guys are going to start scoring runs

spk_0 when the games happen in the horror and Fendi and South Africa.

spk_0 And the traditions.

spk_0

spk_0 It will be more in real conditions.

spk_0 And the traditions.

spk_0 Yeah, the traditions are just happening right after that.

spk_0 I think I'm going to agree with you.

spk_0 I also think, last point on that, I think for her,

spk_0 I think it's time to talk about call records on that.

spk_0 I think if Bobber needs to come in this team,

spk_0 he has to mean things about.

spk_0 Bucker, Bobber, Simon, Simon's in the top.

spk_0 He has to go.

spk_0 Simon is scoring.

spk_0 He's taking Wicc.

spk_0 He's become a balling option.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Prahaan has been probably your best open under the last few months.

spk_0 So Fahar, I don't know how much more he has to give to Parklander.

spk_0

spk_0 Again, he hasn't really played a match winning clutch.

spk_0 No, since his 100 against England last,

spk_0 Odeon World Cup.

spk_0 Do you think he's eyeing the 20th and World Cup?

spk_0 And do you think that's a move that Parkland should think about?

spk_0 I don't know.

spk_0 Let's see.

spk_0 He's 35.

spk_0 Dude, on paper.

spk_0 His fitness issues have been there.

spk_0 He did not run a single three.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And there were options for three.

spk_0 He's had hamster issues.

spk_0 Just recent past, he was diagnosed with hypothyroid.

spk_0 And then he was also injured in the tapins.

spk_0 He'll be before a one ball was even bold.

spk_0 That game against New Zealand and Grouchy.

spk_0 And then he was out.

spk_0 He was out for a few months.

spk_0 So yeah, I don't know how much more Fahar has to give to Parklander.

spk_0 I don't know.

spk_0 Even if he can give more,

spk_0 like what is the actual impact?

spk_0 Can we stick with him?

spk_0 Where does he bat?

spk_0 There's a lot of question marks on this block.

spk_0 It's on Enep.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I think that actually kind of concludes our

spk_0 Aisha Cup coverage.

spk_0 We were here.

spk_0 I think we did like 12 episodes or eight episodes.

spk_0 Yeah, 12 to 10.

spk_0 Yeah, 10 episodes in the past.

spk_0 Two and a half weeks.

spk_0 I was almost plus three live stream live four hours each.

spk_0 Four hours each.

spk_0 I have not seen my family and kids.

spk_0 Very long time.

spk_0 The last message that I guess we'll give from this Aisha Cup was that it was horrendous,

spk_0 a mismanaged, horrible,

spk_0 in the sense of not who won.

spk_0 The deserving team won I think.

spk_0 But just everything else around it.

spk_0 The sound, the noise.

spk_0 It's not why we watch cricket.

spk_0 It's not why we play cricket.

spk_0 I hope better sense prevailed.

spk_0 I hope there's more less animosity on both sides.

spk_0 You know, just start live streamers.

spk_0 Filled up with filth right after India won.

spk_0 And right after Parkland Collab,

spk_0 like those two moments, you could see 600 people joining in randomly.

spk_0 Our average was about three to 400 to 250 to 350.

spk_0 Was the average of people coming in going.

spk_0 And there was a nice atmosphere around.

spk_0 As soon as things would go south for Parkland,

spk_0 you would see all these trolls coming in just wiping us out of the board.

spk_0 And it wasn't fun for us.

spk_0 I had to block a lot of people.

spk_0 And I think it's probably the other way around as well.

spk_0 Parkland and trolls are the same as well.

spk_0 Don't fall into that fever.

spk_0 If we're listening to an Indian cricket fan.

spk_0 Cricket joins us.

spk_0 It's been doing that multiple times.

spk_0 It's been that for decades.

spk_0 Don't let just a few people on the top divide us.

spk_0 We used to be one people.

spk_0 Not more than 75 years ago.

spk_0 Remember that.

spk_0 And I hope Parkland and cricket.

spk_0 Parkland and India play cricket again.

spk_0 With less tension.

spk_0 More fun.

spk_0 More cricket.

spk_0 The emoji of the day.

spk_0 I thought about this is going to be the heart emoji

spk_0 with the rap rap around it.

spk_0 The bandage around it.

spk_0 Hearts have been broken.

spk_0 Hearts have been unbroken.

spk_0 We've joined forces together.

spk_0 I hope this was sort of a therapy session for you guys.

spk_0 Whoever listened to this.

spk_0 For some sort of clarity about box on cricket.

spk_0 Don't give up on these guys.

spk_0 These guys did really well in the past few months.

spk_0 If anything support these guys harder.

spk_0 And make sure that they do better in the T20 World Cup coming in six months.

spk_0 It's going to be a tough one.

spk_0 But we're going to make it through.

spk_0 Subscribe to Backward Point.

spk_0 You guys want more exclusive stuff.

spk_0 Join the Patreon.

spk_0 You guys want even deeper contacts.

spk_0 And just a community where you can talk about stuff.

spk_0 I'm very proud of our Patreon boys by the way.

spk_0 There were Indians in our chat.

spk_0 There were Hindus and Muslims in our chat.

spk_0 It was a moment when I started getting heated.

spk_0 But everybody calmed down.

spk_0 Better sense prevailed.

spk_0 And I think that's the sort of representation I want for Microca channel.

spk_0 Or for Microca channel.

spk_0 And for the type of content that we make moving forward.

spk_0 It has to be cricket focused.

spk_0 And that's the way that we make the world better again.

spk_0 Amen.

spk_0 Towards the end, I want to donate Backward Point's YouTube ad sense

spk_0 money to box on cricket fans.

spk_0 Thank you.

spk_0 No other donation.

spk_0 Thank you so much.

spk_0 You're right.

spk_0 I love your donation.

spk_0 I hope this is not controversial.

spk_0 Yeah, this is not controversial.

spk_0 Let's kind of be controversial.

spk_0 Yeah, shout out to Arun and Sky for that.

spk_0 All right, guys.

spk_0 Cheers, Ticker.

spk_0 Are you, if you will, listening for an hour and 45 minutes,

spk_0 you're insane.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 Bye.

spk_0 Cheers.
