00:00 Hello and welcome to the Pavilion, I'm Fakhr-e-Anam and you're watching A-Sports,
00:07 TEN-Sports and the ARY Zap app.
00:10 And the news out of Lucknow is that Australia has finally opened their account of points
00:15 with a victory against Sri Lanka.
00:18 And good game of cricket, there was movement going on in the pendulum for Sri Lanka, sorry
00:25 now, it was just a total tongue twister, my apologies.
00:29 Now let me bring into the conversation in the Pavilion with me, I've got four outstanding
00:35 cricketing minds, four former captains of Pakistan, I've got the young dynamic Shoaib
00:39 Malik, Shoaib welcome.
00:40 Assalam-o-Alaikum, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
00:42 With that I've got Mr. Dependable, Misbahul Haq, Misbahul, welcome back.
00:46 Assalam-o-Alaikum Ji.
00:47 Wa-alaikum-Salam.
00:48 And the silver fox of the Pavilion, Muin Khan, Muin, welcome back.
00:52 Thank you Ji, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
00:54 And the fantastic, forever amazing, Wasim Akram, Wasim, welcome back.
00:59 Thank you very much, good evening, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
01:01 First of all, let's take a look at the match summary, how did it all go down, this is what
01:06 happened today in Lucknow.
01:09 Sri Lanka won the toss, elected to bat, they looked very very good at one point, it seemed
01:14 like we were going towards the 300+ target but then they capitulated and it was something
01:20 that happened, something looked very familiar to us with Pakistan there for a minute.
01:25 But good start by Pereira looking really good on top, Nisankar also looking good on top
01:29 but then the batting line just fell apart.
01:32 Zampa coming to the party with 4-4-47, Australia must be really happy to see Zampa come into
01:38 the game and then of course Cummins and Sark, Mitchell Sark at one point right in the beginning
01:42 was looking really really lethal.
01:43 In response, Inglis and Marsh made sure that Australia sealed this game with their contribution
01:51 from the other batters as well.
01:53 But for Sri Lanka, Madhu Shankar looked really good, some great bowling there but 35.2 overs,
01:59 Australia winning this one by 5 wickets.
02:01 Congratulations to all the Australian fans around the world and with that, time to look
02:07 at the points table.
02:09 So this is how the points table is looking now, look at that, India still on top, New
02:14 Zealand on top, 3 games each, 3-1, they're looking really good.
02:17 South Africa up there with 2 games, 2 points but a very healthy net run rate.
02:22 India sitting at number 4 with 3 games, 2 wins, 1 loss and a negative run rate.
02:28 England at 5, Afghanistan at 6 and Bangladesh 7 and Australia finally climbing up out of
02:34 the bottom of the table, 3 games, 1 win and they would like to improve that run rate.
02:40 Sri Lanka struggling there and that's your points table.
02:44 Wasim, this was a game that looked to be a Sri Lanka game but in the end it just kind
02:51 of all fell apart.
02:52 I think this is not an Australian match, this is a Sri Lanka match.
02:55 In experience, 1 out on 155, perfect start, both the openers, one did 61, one did 78,
03:03 they were looking good, control, one wicket fell on 125, partner did 155, after that you
03:10 just had to bat 50 overs with the wicket in hand.
03:14 That's it, you see, now in Test cricket, the batter has to go with a different mind,
03:19 T20 has a different mindset.
03:22 One day cricket is in between, you have to make an inning here, you don't have to hit
03:26 a six on every game, you don't have to hit a four on every game.
03:29 If the comings have made two bouncers, you have to stop them from coming back, you don't
03:33 have to hit blind shots.
03:35 Now at this level, what can the coach say to them?
03:39 It's their own fault that the control has come in the match, till you have to bat on
03:44 200, they have made 2-3 outs, they have put pressure, they have made 2 outs, but it's
03:48 only a matter of time.
03:51 Let me also quickly first talk about Mitchell Marsh's batting there, Misma, he has made
03:56 some very good shots here.
03:58 It's good for Australia, mostly where there was a problem, there was a problem at the
04:06 opening, today they have brought the license, from the first shot they have made, their
04:13 attitude is to attack in a mood to stop, and that's how he is so effective.
04:20 When they go to defend early on, this has happened in the last two matches, it's a big problem
04:26 for them.
04:27 They are free-flowing batsmen, they attack, they become very dangerous.
04:30 They attacked a spinner, fast bowler, they pick up the length very quickly, when their
04:37 mindset is different.
04:38 So I think Australia will be very happy.
04:41 They have won the match, and the second thing is that their out-of-form players have performed
04:46 well, so going into the next game, a lot of things are looking better.
04:51 Doesn't it seem like Mohin, that Australia has suddenly got momentum and they have a
04:55 match with us, and we have a match with them.
04:58 The team of Australia is like this, whenever tough times come, the team comes back.
05:02 You know, today we saw that the first 20, the one overs were there, we saw that the game
05:08 was very easy for Sri Lanka, but the consistency, the pressure they put in, they keep trying,
05:14 trying bounces, and then naturally, Zampa's form, coming in, gaining within the stumps,
05:18 you know, I think that difference was visible.
05:21 Today, because of Zampa, the actual difference was visible, and the constant attack, we should
05:26 say, when we saw, the counter-attack, one wicket fell in 125, and after that 84 runs
05:32 were made, and the whole team was out, you know.
05:34 So, I think that no Sri Lankan batsman tried to go for a runner ball, or to rotate the
05:39 strike, you know, they were trying strokes, and because of that, they were out.
05:45 I think that fielding, I will say again, it wasn't so good today for Australia, that
05:49 two catches were missed in this inning, but they were there, like, it was looking like
05:55 that, like I said, there was a flair, that Australian flair was seen again, that constant
06:01 effort of theirs, that's what you come back from.
06:03 Absolutely.
06:04 Shoaib, when Zampa started bowling today, he was a little off-sum, but after a couple
06:09 of overs, he just started, he came in between the wickets, and he went wicket to wicket.
06:14 If you see his interview in the post-match, he was asked a question, he was asked, "What
06:21 have you done different today?"
06:23 He said, "No, I haven't done anything different."
06:26 So it means that confidence was missing in him.
06:31 But I guess, we should give credit to the captain, that the captain has always given
06:37 the message to him that you are our wicket-taking bowler, we only expect wickets from you.
06:42 And he tried that.
06:44 This is the leg spinner.
06:45 Today, in his bowling, the little change that was seen within stumps, that we saw, was that
06:50 he was mostly doing the flippers type from the low trajectory, and he was doing googly.
06:56 So when the leg spinner's leg spin is not falling on the spot, then these two weapons
07:01 should be used more, which he did today.
07:05 I don't know who told him this, or he talked to himself, but the main difference was, that
07:11 the low trajectory within the stumps, which the great Shane Warne used to do, so today
07:17 he saw that the low trajectory within the stumps will give him success.
07:21 And one thing that was very good, which David Warner caught, of Kushal Mendes, who is a
07:26 very informed batter, when he played that shot, which he was playing to Shadab, towards
07:32 mid-wicket, but he kept the fielder towards mid-wicket.
07:37 But of course, it was a running catch, David Warner caught that, and from there, a lot
07:42 of problems started.
07:43 This is the pitch map of Zampa, let's take a look at it, that today Zampa bowled for
07:48 Nikhil Snowyat, if you look at it carefully.
07:50 Yes, Mishra?
07:51 Yes, what Malik has said, you see, mostly the bowlers have finished wicket to wicket,
07:58 and obviously the speed was different, finished in the stumps, and I think the Sri Lankan
08:04 batters were not even able to pick, they went to play leg spin, mostly batsmen, and on flipper
08:09 and googly, the legs were also four.
08:12 So the most important thing is that after such a bad performance in a couple of matches,
08:18 in fact, they were under pressure from South Africa, after that, to make such a comeback,
08:24 the team was also in such a situation, that shows that he is going to be the key in the
08:29 next matches.
08:30 Mentally, you are strong, and then the team is backing you, and showing confidence, so
08:36 today, what he showed, I think, when you are playing in India, and you have one main spinner,
08:43 it is very important for you to come in his form and do such a bowling.
08:47 Very, very important.
08:49 Wasim, Warner's LBW, there are a lot of questions and doubts on it, and a lot of confusion,
08:56 what are your initial thoughts?
08:57 You see, as a bowler, as a viewer, if you are watching on television, if you see naked
09:00 eyes, it looks like he is going down leg miles.
09:04 As you know, when we used to play, there was no appeal on it, because it looked like the
09:08 ball was coming from the angle, it was not coming out, it was coming straight, it was
09:11 coming in, and the leg was going towards the stump, but the umpire had given out, that
09:14 is what we are discussing.
09:15 The umpire had given out, so he had to clip it, he had to kiss it, see, naked eyes, see
09:20 this, this is your normal, see this, now both his stumps are visible.
09:24 Absolutely right.
09:25 See this, now how is this out, it is going out from the angle.
09:30 You see, Wasim, when you are showing the impact, you don't understand, the impact, you see,
09:37 the ball is going from the angle of the left arm, it is not coming like this.
09:41 There is no impact on the ball, I keep saying that you should stop it where there is impact,
09:47 and where you are showing the impact, there is no impact, the impact is after one frame.
09:53 I think, where the ball is hit, after that, instead of technology, it comes like this,
09:58 Allah dee spurt, wherever you take it.
10:01 We also debated on this yesterday, we also debated on this yesterday.
10:06 Here, you will see again, when the ball is hit, and when Hawkeye has shown,
10:12 you stop here, see, this is hit, here it is hit, now see, here it is hit,
10:20 now you go to the next one, where Hawkeye is showing, you will see, how much earlier
10:27 he has made it hit.
10:29 There is one more thing in this, Wasim bhai.
10:31 See, here he has made it hit, when he will move it, next, where the batsman is not visible,
10:38 next step, you will see, how much earlier he has made it hit,
10:43 although the ball is very far back.
10:45 And now, he had to travel 4 more footballs, and one more thing,
10:50 there is a very strong element, that the left hander is better, and the left armer is better,
10:56 and the ball is already going out of the angle, and he has taken it inside.
11:01 This is the magic of technology, when it goes out, it is put inside.
11:06 The next leg is in the air, see, he has played the ball by jumping.
11:10 The interesting thing is, after this Warner, he didn't get angry at all.
11:14 Yes, he was very calm, he went out with a lot of patience.
11:19 I will give him credit, that he didn't get angry at all.
11:22 He is very patient.
11:23 He has said everything in the world.
11:26 Don't blame him, either I am on your side, Boney.
11:29 That was just terrible.
11:31 I think there needs to be an introspect into this entire technology.
11:36 I think there needs to be more, that needs to be done.
11:39 I think that top notch technologists are needed.
11:42 Maybe, you know, get in touch with…
11:44 You have completely shattered the confidence of the batsman,
11:48 like before, you will think that no one will take the review.
11:55 Your review has made me want to die.
12:00 I was the first batter when DRS came, I was the first to come out.
12:04 This Warner, this Warner, expressing his love,
12:08 happiness on his lips, and a lot of patience.
12:12 This is a big stage, it's a world cup, and the team is struggling,
12:15 and you played that beautiful shot towards mid-wicket,
12:18 that massive six, just flick of a hand, such a strong player.
12:22 And obviously, you have to be upset.
12:24 If you brought the technology, it was for betterment.
12:27 I am wondering if there is anybody working on improving the technology.
12:34 I have no idea.
12:35 I doubt it.
12:36 ICC should be following up with the technology provider,
12:39 are you improving it?
12:40 There is only one company in the world who does this, Hawkeye.
12:44 If there are other young innovators out there listening to this conversation,
12:49 and I know that there are a lot of them,
12:51 and the comments you are getting on YouTube from around the world,
12:55 some of you work in the Silicon Valley, maybe it's time for you to look into this.
12:59 There could be a big opportunity right there.
13:01 And with that, we are going to take a break right here on the Pavilion,
13:03 when we come back, there is more on the other side.
13:05 Welcome back to the Pavilion, I am Fakhr-e-Alam,
13:10 you are watching Esports and Sports and the AYS app,
13:12 our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 in India.
13:17 News from Lucknow, Australia has won their match,
13:19 and with that we were talking about the game.
13:22 We will come back, we talked about Warner and the review system.
13:27 But now let's talk about the partnership that the Australians put up right on top.
13:33 Very special partnership there, Wasim, between the two top order.
13:37 Yeah, Misma nailed it, his batters were out of touch, he got a little batting.
13:42 Mitch Marsh, the first game he hit the cross, and the first 15 runs he took,
13:47 the new bowler, Lahiru, after that I think he is a dangerous player, no doubt.
13:53 He didn't play in two games, he kept his confidence, and then he, in the end he got 52 of 51.
13:59 Maxwell got some runs, Labashain got some runs, and of course Stoinis in 20 of 10 deliveries.
14:04 So everybody kind of got in today, so that's a good sign for Australian going on into this World Cup.
14:12 Madhu Shankar bowled really well from Sri Lanka, his ball was swinging really well in the early overs.
14:19 Wasim, you being a lefty yourself, you would have been very happy.
14:22 Very impressive, I love it, he's only a 22 year old boy, a very young boy,
14:26 and just started playing international cricket.
14:29 I mean, he was pace, he was length, and you know, he was going for full victory,
14:34 and he has also got a late swing.
14:37 And he's got, in the end he's got 3 for 38, but apart from one out, he's the one who has outed all three.
14:46 Very hard working guy, he was in our team in the LPL,
14:52 and youngsters should be willing to learn.
14:58 So he's one of those, and I guess he's improving day by day,
15:02 and we have seen taking three wickets.
15:04 And reasonable pace, he's got 1.38, 1.40.
15:07 1.40, average speed is exactly like that.
15:10 And look at the length he's bowling at, asking questions literally on every delivery.
15:15 Wasim, he had changed his swing after 3 or 4 overs, he had taken 2 wickets here,
15:20 I think he should have brought it back, he brought it back very late.
15:25 Because he was taking wickets, it was very important there, he needed wickets.
15:29 He should have taken 7 or 8 over, he was chasing a total of 6 overs.
15:33 He should have taken 7 or 8 over, he should have taken a few more wickets.
15:39 One big question is nowadays, can today's bowlers take 8 over 7 together?
15:43 Big question, huge big question.
15:46 Big question, and a very valid question, because the fitness problem in Sri Lanka's team is very concerned.
15:53 So maybe he should have stopped him for the next few matches.
15:57 But if you go match to match, the situation in which he has been removed from bowling,
16:02 if he had taken 3 or 4 overs, then the line length he was gaining,
16:05 it was very difficult, the batsman was not able to get anyone's foot out.
16:08 He got out while playing a cross.
16:10 Lukie Ferguson had done it that day, Wasim bhai.
16:13 His pace bowler too, Lukie Ferguson against Bangladesh in middle overs.
16:18 He has done a long spell of 6-7 overs.
16:22 The important thing is that his ball comes in, it's very good.
16:26 After that, the angle where the ball is straight,
16:29 which is light, it feels like it's in an out swing.
16:31 Because of that, it becomes very difficult for the batsman.
16:34 Because you have to get a very good angle, you go in like this.
16:38 And from there, like you used to do with your left arm,
16:42 from there the ball is straight, so after that, the way the batsman Smith played,
16:47 he wasn't sure which line, which side he should play.
16:52 Because he has set up Smith very well, he has fed him first,
16:55 and then I think Smith's fixed spot.
16:58 Because if there is only one swing, as a batsman you settle,
17:02 that if the ball comes from here, I will play the inside line.
17:05 But if one ball is straight from there, then you move completely.
17:09 But Shane Watson said in a commentary that Steve Smith usually doesn't miss this gain.
17:14 This is his four. He has seen many times that he plays from the middle of the off stump.
17:18 He is out of form.
17:19 Out of touch, that's what exactly Mishra said as well.
17:21 And this happens when a batter gets out of form.
17:24 He usually misses such gains, where he hits a four.
17:27 He misses the strong points as well.
17:30 Let's talk about Josh Inglis, he has justified his return into the team.
17:36 Yes, he came and ran like this, and he looked very intent.
17:40 He showed positivity, which was why the team needed him.
17:44 If the wicket had fallen there, although it was an edge,
17:48 but you can see he has hit a very positive hit.
17:50 He got a full toss, and hit a second ball like this.
17:53 And throughout the day, he played shots everywhere.
17:57 And this shows how much confidence he had in himself.
18:00 And the Australian batsmen tried to stay on the crease.
18:06 And this was the reason why they chased the small partnerships.
18:12 Otherwise, in both the matches, Australia had scored 200 runs.
18:17 I think the partnerships…
18:19 I have a question for you.
18:20 All the wicket keepers have very good strike rates.
18:24 And they play with a lot of fun.
18:27 They enjoy watching the wicket keepers bat.
18:30 What's the reason for that?
18:31 When you used to play as well, you enjoyed it.
18:34 The most important thing is game awareness.
18:37 The way cricket has become so fast, it's a cricket of strike rates.
18:41 So you get an extra edge as a wicket keeper in the team.
18:45 You can bat very well.
18:48 You know a lot about angles, being a wicket keeper,
18:52 you have a very clear vision.
18:54 So you can easily manipulate and innovate shots.
18:59 We saw the same thing today, the way he played shots.
19:02 I think this practice of wicket keeping…
19:06 If someone concentrates the most in a match, it's the wicket keeper.
19:10 And if you say, "Eye on the ball", it's him.
19:14 I think it's a practice that gives you the courage to take a chance.
19:23 I think, Mohun Bhai, if you're keeping 50 overs in a one-day match,
19:31 and you don't see anyone else,
19:33 you know how far the ball has bounced, how much swing has been made,
19:40 where it's going, you get set up.
19:43 That's why you know where the ball is going.
19:48 You must have seen me play as well.
19:50 When I didn't understand anything, I'd just sweep.
19:52 I know.
19:54 He's not saying anything. He knows.
19:56 Mohun Bhai, is it a blessing to have a wicket keeper in the middle order?
20:00 It's a blessing. Nowadays, it's a need of the hour.
20:02 Either an opener or a bat in the middle order.
20:06 I also bat in the middle order.
20:08 Brilliant keeper.
20:10 Look at these teams. Each team has 2-3 wicket keepers.
20:13 They're playing in the 11th.
20:15 Four teams have their wicket keepers as captains.
20:18 Yes, exactly.
20:19 Joss, Butler, Tom Latham, Scott Edwards and Gusal Mendes.
20:23 You know, this is a special…
20:25 I have a player with me.
20:26 I have one somewhere else.
20:28 They're a different breed.
20:30 Fast bowlers are a different breed.
20:32 Median pacers are a different breed.
20:34 Openers are different. Middle order is different.
20:36 I'm talking about personality-wise.
20:38 And the oddest thing is the right arm leg spinners.
20:43 They're big liars.
20:45 Tell him, yeah.
20:47 Are you pointing at Bhushtak?
20:50 No, no. Take Mushi's name. Take the name of Fred Shane Vaughan.
20:54 All of them are big liars.
20:56 We'll leave more at home.
20:58 And with that, it's time for a break right here on The Pavilion.
21:01 But keep watching ASPORTS, TENSPORTS and the ARY's App App.
21:04 Welcome back to The Pavilion. I'm Fakhar Alam.
21:11 You're watching ASPORTS, TENSPORTS and the ARY's App App.
21:14 Our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023.
21:17 News out of Lucknow. Australia winning this one.
21:19 Sri Lanka won the toss today and batted first.
21:22 Let's talk about that.
21:24 At one point, they looked like they were going to post a very big total Moeen.
21:28 Moeen is going to chut.
21:30 100%. 100%.
21:35 He's going to put 3 pens on his chest.
21:38 What's so funny about that?
21:40 I've put 3 pens here as well.
21:42 I've put 3 pens here as well.
21:44 One for each face.
21:46 I don't have a good memory. I have to put them on.
21:49 You guys are very fast.
21:51 What's so funny about that?
21:53 It's your problem. If we talk about asthma, it's your problem.
21:56 Not asthma, it's Hafza.
21:58 Oh, memory basically. Sorry, my apologies.
22:00 I thought you said asthma, but then I only think in one way.
22:04 You're a bull, you're going to hit me.
22:06 But the question you asked was a very good start.
22:10 It was an ideal start.
22:12 After the partnership of 125 runs, all the batsmen that came…
22:19 Was there any momentum because of the rain?
22:22 I don't think there was any momentum.
22:24 But like Wasim said, you had to play runner ball.
22:27 There wasn't a storm.
22:29 There wasn't a storm.
22:31 I think they took a lot of pressure.
22:35 Sri Lankan batsmen and the constant pressure from Australian bowlers.
22:41 I think they did a good job of bowling.
22:43 Especially Zampa, the example that Shoaib talked about.
22:47 They were wicket to wicket.
22:49 And they misread that a lot, which is why they got the LBWs.
22:54 And I think Sri Lankan batting was lagging a bit.
22:58 Which was in form in previous matches.
23:01 So when they had to carry on and build up the partnership…
23:04 They were under a lot of pressure.
23:07 So the pressure that the Australian bowlers put in…
23:10 By wicket to wicket.
23:12 Like how Cummins came in and did bouncers.
23:15 They pressurized them a bit.
23:17 They bowled in an Australian way.
23:21 They tagged a bit.
23:23 And you play a bit sensible in such situations.
23:26 The set batsmen should have played through.
23:30 They came out in a very casual manner.
23:33 Nishanka pulled.
23:35 Knowing that they were doing bouncers and there was a fielder.
23:38 When you are set, you should play through the inning.
23:42 So you get a big total.
23:44 Kushal Parera was playing so well.
23:48 He was handling the short ball well.
23:51 He pushed it from a long distance.
23:54 The ball wasn't there.
23:56 As soon as he got out, this wicket is not like that.
23:59 We saw it in Lucknow.
24:01 It's a bit difficult for new batsmen.
24:04 They don't get an easy run.
24:06 There's no rotation.
24:08 The pressure builds and the wickets fall.
24:10 I think it's a bit of both of their responsibility.
24:13 They should have taken a long run.
24:16 Even in form, Mandis had a bad shot.
24:20 There was no time for that shot.
24:22 It was too early.
24:24 When you are set, it's easy.
24:26 The strike rate with which Kushal Mandis is playing in the World Cup.
24:30 He is playing such shots.
24:32 Earlier, there was a good connection.
24:34 He was going out of the boundary.
24:36 But these are his pet shots.
24:38 He has made a lot of runs.
24:40 I understand it's a pet shot.
24:42 Such a crunch game.
24:44 You lost 2 out of 2.
24:46 Third game is important as a batter.
24:48 International level should be able to adapt according to the situation.
24:51 I am all for my game.
24:53 I have to go for a strike.
24:55 But the situation was that someone else needed it.
24:58 Go 4 and over, 3 and over, till the 35 overs.
25:01 The pitches were different in the first two matches.
25:03 He came early, pace on the ball, timing.
25:06 You got 3-4 shots.
25:08 It becomes easy after that.
25:10 But it's a little difficult to start.
25:13 And it's time for a break.
25:17 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
25:22 You are watching Airsports 10 Sports India.
25:24 I am Fakhr-e-Anam.
25:25 And with me, I have got 4 outstanding cricketing minds.
25:27 Shoaib Malik, Miss Paul Haq, Mohin Khan and Wasim Akram.
25:30 What are you doing?
25:32 Ask us something or we will sleep.
25:34 Shoaib Malik is asking us something.
25:36 Ask us something or we will sleep.
25:38 Stay awake and stay with me.
25:40 And the way forward.
25:43 Wasim, what do you think?
25:44 Should we ask Mohin?
25:45 I think so.
25:46 Mohin, should I ask you or should I just go with Miss Paul?
25:48 As you wish.
25:49 Okay, Shoaib, you tell us.
25:51 The way forward of Sherlanka.
25:53 It's very simple.
25:55 We have to get another spinner in our team.
25:59 And today was a good start.
26:01 The middle order will have to take more responsibility.
26:05 And as it is their team, I think they should play with proper 5 bowlers.
26:10 Because when their 5th bowler comes, Dhananjay Da Silva has to bowl.
26:15 And that becomes a compulsion.
26:17 If you bowl less and you don't have 5 bowlers, then that will be an issue forever.
26:23 So, you should play with proper 6 batters and 5 bowlers.
26:27 Because their wicketkeeper already plays 3 numbers, Kushal Bengus.
26:31 Alright, friends, we are going to a Waqfa now.
26:35 But after the Waqfa, #AskThePavilion is coming up on your screen.
26:39 #AskThePavilion
26:41 You can send your questions through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and now through TikTok.
26:49 So, send us your questions, comments and all that.
26:52 And before the show ends today, I will tell you the full code of It Bit Gulkand.
27:00 Today, I will disclose and share that with you.
27:02 It Bit Gulkand. Let's take a Waqfa.
27:06 Hello and welcome to The Pavilion. I am Fakhr-e-Anam.
27:11 You are watching Sports 10 Sports and the AYS App.
27:13 The news out of Lucknow is that Australia is winning the first game in this World Cup.
27:17 And well, Sri Lanka has a lot of hard work to do ahead.
27:20 With that, it's time for #AskThePavilion.
27:23 Your favourite segment where we share your questions and comments on our platform.
27:27 And with that, first of all, I am coming to you, Wasim.
27:30 Rana Adnan 10018 is your Twitter handle.
27:34 And you are asking Wasim Akram,
27:36 Sir, how you played 356 ODIs and 104 tests as a fast bowler?
27:41 Nowadays, fast bowlers get injured after playing some continuous matches.
27:45 What was your diet plan and training routine at that time?
27:47 Please tell us how a fast bowler can prolong his career.
27:52 Good question.
27:53 Apart from 100 test matches, I think there are 113 first class matches as well.
27:56 Very good.
27:57 Including 100 test matches.
27:59 So that's a lot of cricket.
28:00 I suppose, there were very few options at that time.
28:03 When I finished cricket in the beginning of the season, I suppose,
28:07 we used to have off-season in the summer.
28:09 And I used to play from Lancashire.
28:12 And from September onwards till March-April, I used to play from Pakistan.
28:16 I didn't have any special diet plan or awareness.
28:20 I just did my training by bowling.
28:22 Just bowling.
28:23 Fast bowlers can only improve by bowling.
28:26 The more you bowl, the better you become.
28:29 Your bowling muscles get stronger.
28:31 What is a bowling muscle?
28:32 Bowling muscle is not just one muscle.
28:34 It's not your back, shoulders, groin, thigh, or hamstring.
28:39 It's every muscle in the body.
28:41 It's used from your hair to your toes.
28:45 So, the more you bowl, the more coordination you have,
28:48 the more your muscles get stronger.
28:51 When I was a newbie in the team, I was 17-18 years old.
28:55 I guess my pace was 131.
28:58 So, by the time I played in the county in 1988-1989,
29:02 my pace was 10-8 km/hr.
29:06 I could feel myself as a bowler that my pace has increased.
29:10 Nowadays, boys come and say, "I'll score 18 goals."
29:14 I say, "No, you go back."
29:17 18 goals, your body opens up.
29:19 I'm all for science in sports.
29:22 I'm all for it and I'm an advocate for it.
29:25 But there are some things that science can't tell you.
29:29 Bowling will increase your bowling muscles.
29:32 That will increase your pace and give you experience.
29:35 I'm a witness to that.
29:36 When we used to play net, we used to run for 5 km just for warm-up.
29:42 After that, when our net session started,
29:45 we used to hold the ball and keep it for 1-1.5 hours.
29:48 That's what they've done today.
29:50 There's a term for workload in cricket.
29:53 That's why there are a lot of problems.
29:55 There are problems related to fitness.
29:57 The more you bowl,
29:59 that's why I think that's the key to their success.
30:03 We used to bowl for 2 hours.
30:07 And the muscles that Wasim has mentioned,
30:10 they really develop by bowling.
30:12 Similarly, if you ask a batsman,
30:15 he'll tell you that the more you practice,
30:19 the more you'll be able to match fit and create a long career.
30:24 I have a question for Mohin Bhai.
30:27 His ex-handler is Saad Zia, 23.
30:32 Assalam-o-Alaikum to all.
30:34 I have a question for Mohin Bhai.
30:36 Mohin Bhai, the question is,
30:37 I'm a tall guy, also a wicket-keeper.
30:40 My friend says, tall boy could not be a good wicket-keeper.
30:44 Is that right?
30:46 Also want some wicket-keeping tips from you.
30:49 First of all, Mohin, ask him if his friends have played cricket.
30:52 I'm absolutely sure.
30:54 Saad, thank you very much.
30:56 And Assalam-o-Alaikum.
30:58 What Wasim Bhai said is very important.
31:00 First of all, you should know
31:02 whether your friends have played cricket or not.
31:05 Because I've seen that most of the people you meet are discouraging.
31:09 Very few people encourage.
31:11 I think you have an opportunity.
31:15 If you become a wicket-keeper with this height,
31:18 then naturally you have an extra advantage.
31:20 You will have more reach.
31:22 Even in batting, you can cover the far balls with this height.
31:29 So if you want to become a serious cricketer,
31:31 then do practice a lot.
31:33 And if you play with a club,
31:36 then you must get coaching.
31:38 And if you get coaching, then naturally you can represent your city.
31:42 You live in our city, Karachi.
31:44 So you represent Karachi.
31:46 And then you are at the regional level.
31:48 And then you can play cricket at the national level.
31:50 So good luck.
31:51 You have an example of Adam Gilchrist.
31:53 Yes, Adam Gilchrist was 6 feet tall.
31:55 6 means he can do it.
31:57 Yes, he can do it.
31:59 In fact, he will be as rich as you are tall.
32:02 I would say the same.
32:04 He is a big shot in our country.
32:06 And if you are short,
32:08 then you can't even reach the ground.
32:10 You have to say one thing.
32:12 "Utthan baithandi practice zyada."
32:15 "Utthan baithandi practice zyada."
32:17 Show us the close up of Misma.
32:20 You have to do this drill.
32:22 Which one?
32:24 He will be angry.
32:26 Tell him.
32:28 "Utthan baithandi practice zyada."
32:35 That's really cute by the way.
32:37 That's the joke.
32:39 You will get something when you get a 3.
32:41 Abdul Rehman's question.
32:43 Abdul Rehman's ex.
32:45 What are some effective ways for youngsters
32:47 to develop their ability to play against fast bowlers?
32:50 My question is from Misma and Shoaib.
32:52 How they tackled pace
32:55 when they were playing club cricket or under 19?
32:57 Please explain. Thanks a lot.
32:59 Abdul Rehman.
33:01 I have not given you any performance yet.
33:05 I don't have a certificate of level 3 coaching.
33:08 Please give me.
33:10 How to tackle fast bowling?
33:12 The most important thing to play fast bowling
33:16 is your reaction time.
33:18 If you want to improve your reaction time,
33:21 you have to do drills.
33:23 You have to play from a short distance.
33:25 You have to try to play on a bowling machine.
33:28 If a bowling machine is not available,
33:30 then you have to play with sticks.
33:32 There are no facilities for bowling.
33:36 You have to practice on a small distance.
33:38 You have to practice on a small distance.
33:40 You have to practice on slippery wickets
33:42 where the ball skids a lot.
33:44 You have to practice on those wickets.
33:46 You have to practice on plastic balls.
33:48 You have to practice on plastic balls.
33:50 You have to practice on chips.
33:52 The ball comes very fast.
33:54 Some people use golf balls to practice.
33:58 We practiced golf balls before going to West Indies.
34:01 Shoaib Mohamad used to practice.
34:03 Sunny Malik used to practice.
34:05 I think both of them used to practice
34:07 to leave the ball and pull it.
34:09 You can practice with one more thing.
34:11 A proper hard ball has a cock ball inside.
34:15 When you open it, the ball skids a lot.
34:19 You can't say that on a full moon night
34:22 standing on one leg in a graveyard
34:25 a star will break.
34:28 Then your reflexes will be sharp.
34:32 Cock ball will cut the wickets.
34:35 But Waseem, your disciples, Zahid Fazal
34:40 and Ijaz are your old friends.
34:43 Do they practice with these balls?
34:45 We have practiced with tennis balls.
34:47 They shave the top of the tennis ball.
34:50 There are many ways.
34:52 Different strokes for different folks.
34:55 We have to follow the serious answer.
35:01 Waseem is the funny one.
35:03 I think they have gathered that.
35:07 Where did they find a full moon night?
35:10 They have to be careful.
35:13 You can only guess a snake
35:17 on a full moon night.
35:19 I am a snake.
35:21 I am not saying that.
35:25 Aditya Shukla is asking.
35:27 Your ex-handle is Ken.
35:30 I don't know what that means.
35:33 T20 cricket has been included in the Olympics of 2028.
35:37 Do you think due to long time of game
35:40 ODI format would eventually die out
35:44 as majority of the team would prefer to play T20?
35:47 It shouldn't die out.
35:51 White ball cricket started one day.
35:55 But it has to change.
35:57 I was telling you.
36:00 11th to 39th over.
36:03 It's kind of a deal.
36:05 Between batters and bowlers.
36:07 You take 4 and we will take 3.
36:09 We will do 300-350.
36:11 That period is dull.
36:13 Even as an ex-player and a guy
36:16 who talks on cricket quite a bit.
36:18 Who commentates as well.
36:20 I think straight away you think
36:22 to make it 40 overs and win one.
36:25 Someone messaged me.
36:27 Why not?
36:29 Rules keep changing.
36:31 Every year a new rule comes up.
36:33 Why not this?
36:35 We were discussing to make it 2 innings.
36:37 25 overs.
36:39 Under lights are a disadvantage.
36:41 We have tried playing 25 over game.
36:43 We played in 2002 in Cardiff.
36:46 It was in an indoor dome.
36:48 I think it was World XI vs Asia XI.
36:51 We played 25 overs.
36:54 They bowled.
36:56 We batted.
36:58 It was 2 innings.
37:00 It became interesting in the end.
37:02 But it became too long.
37:04 One thing will be good.
37:06 I will be able to do 100 shows.
37:08 If I don't win 2000.
37:10 I will be in trouble.
37:12 Ahmed Riaz Chaudhary.
37:14 Ahmed Riaz Chaudhary.
37:16 Ahmed Riaz.
37:18 You have a sandal.
37:20 Assalam-o-Alaikum.
37:22 Thank you.
37:24 My question is for Waseem.
37:26 Is Fakhar a good pilot?
37:28 Tell us.
37:30 The guy has flown the plane
37:32 around the world alone.
37:34 He is a very safe driver.
37:36 He has amazing knowledge.
37:38 I was scared of him.
37:40 But I have to give credit to Waseem.
37:42 He flew the airplane as well.
37:44 He flew it really well.
37:46 You asked me the next question.
37:48 Who will be next to fly with you?
37:50 Shoaib, Misma or Mohin?
37:52 I would love to take these guys out flying.
37:54 I am hoping that I will.
37:56 I think he will be the first.
37:58 He has a big name.
38:00 It is difficult to find a pilot.
38:02 He has so many contacts.
38:04 We will do something.
38:06 My question is for Waseem.
38:08 You asked me to come to A-Sports.
38:10 Please send me a ticket from Islamabad.
38:12 Send me a message
38:14 that you will get one.
38:16 Alright.
38:18 Alright.
38:20 Sameer Tariq's question.
38:22 Question for all the panelists.
38:24 We are judging Shadab too early in the World Cup.
38:26 He has played only on flat tracks
38:28 till now and hasn't got any game
38:30 on spinning tracks.
38:32 Zampa was struggling before too.
38:34 How has he performed?
38:36 Has the pitch suited him?
38:38 And other spinners?
38:40 I don't think the ball was spinning
38:42 that much today.
38:44 The last match was South Africa
38:46 and Australia.
38:48 The ball was spinning
38:50 on that.
38:52 But the ball didn't turn that much
38:54 on today's pitch.
38:56 Today, the spinners were getting
38:58 shots through the line.
39:00 But Shadab, no doubt,
39:02 is a good bowler.
39:04 But he is struggling a little
39:06 in bowling.
39:08 Zampa's leg spin
39:10 was not falling on the right place
39:12 today.
39:14 But his sliders,
39:16 which we call straight balls,
39:18 were falling on the right place.
39:20 And when the wrist spinner
39:22 is not falling on the right place,
39:24 this is another element
39:26 that Shadab has.
39:28 As a team, as a Pakistan cricket team,
39:30 we have scored 6 overs
39:32 or 4 overs.
39:34 So I think there should be a change.
39:36 Alright, thank you very much.
39:38 Nadir Hasnain
39:40 is your ex-handler.
39:42 Nadir33846_
39:44 is your ex-handler.
39:46 Nadir has
39:48 put up a video clip
39:50 of another channel
39:52 and asked a question.
39:54 On another television channel,
39:56 the famous and
39:58 outstanding batsman,
40:00 Mohamed Yusuf, had very strong words
40:02 to say about you, Shoaib Malik.
40:04 And he was surprised that
40:06 both Moeen Khan and Wasim Akram
40:08 did not stop you
40:10 from saying words about
40:12 Babur Azam's captaincy.
40:14 That's what Yusuf said about me and Moeen.
40:16 Yeah, that you guys did not interrupt him.
40:18 Wait a minute, wait a minute.
40:20 So let me explain this a little.
40:22 He was surprised that Moeen and
40:24 Wasim Akram did not stop
40:26 him from saying about Babur Azam's
40:28 captaincy. What would you say to that?
40:30 First of all, I would say to that is,
40:32 at least I would like to say that I am so happy
40:34 that people who are sitting on other channels
40:36 are also watching our show. I think that's the best
40:38 thing that I have. I am really enjoying that.
40:40 Thank you. We are truly honoured for that.
40:42 I would like to say something else.
40:44 Shoaib did not comment on this.
40:46 There was a particular question
40:48 from a Twit,
40:50 ex-fan of ours,
40:52 who specifically asked,
40:54 in fact, if you think about the question
40:56 in a proper way, it was actually
40:58 a very meaningful question.
41:00 He said that people keep talking about
41:02 Babur Azam's captaincy.
41:04 If Babur Azam is asked to
41:06 take over the captaincy after the World Cup,
41:08 and he says that he does not want to,
41:10 then who can do it after him?
41:12 And this is also a very interesting conversation.
41:14 So, people who suddenly start
41:16 saying this. However,
41:18 Shoaib, you wanted to tell us something
41:20 about Mohamed Yusuf.
41:22 You were very strong about how you could make
41:24 such an irresponsible statement.
41:26 I have had a very good time with Yusuf.
41:28 And wherever we meet,
41:30 we have a lot of fun.
41:32 And I really respect him.
41:34 My point of view was,
41:36 it is my right,
41:38 that if someone asks me, I will definitely answer.
41:40 But if someone
41:42 understood the question
41:44 and then understood my answer,
41:46 then on any channel,
41:48 you said
41:50 "if"
41:52 I remember that.
41:54 I just want to say one thing to Yusuf bhai.
41:56 Yusuf bhai, I love you.
41:58 Wow!
42:00 This was a very emotional story.
42:02 Okay, Dr. Jhanseb,
42:06 J. Ramey, your ex-handler lab says,
42:08 "I believe Ibrar is not a long-term test bowler.
42:10 He is more suited for white-ball cricket.
42:12 Should have been given chances earlier.
42:14 Unfortunately, he also played PSL
42:16 from a wrong franchise, where he
42:18 couldn't get enough chances."
42:20 What do you say?
42:22 I think he is right.
42:24 My experience is also the same.
42:26 He played for KPL
42:28 from Shoaib's team.
42:30 He has scored three overs
42:32 in every match in powerplay.
42:34 And in any match,
42:36 no batsman could play against him.
42:38 He has taken wickets,
42:40 he has been economical.
42:42 Especially in this kind of tournaments,
42:44 where any team
42:46 can play against you once.
42:48 In series, you still have a chance
42:50 to play two, three,
42:52 or four matches against a batsman.
42:54 So, they get used to it.
42:56 In the World Cups,
42:58 if any team plays against you once,
43:00 such mystery bowlers
43:02 become very effective.
43:04 The more you understand them,
43:06 the more they do their job.
43:08 So, I think, in such tournaments,
43:10 such bowlers should be considered.
43:12 Alright, with that,
43:14 we are going to take a break right here on The Pavilion.
43:16 But if you have more questions,
43:18 please send them to us on #AskThePavilion.
43:20 See you on the other side.
43:22 Alright, welcome back to The Pavilion.
43:26 I am Fakhn-e-Anam and you are watching
43:28 Sports and Sports and the ARY Zap app.
43:30 The series of Ask The Pavilion was going on.
43:32 But a few moments ago,
43:34 I got a news from the producers.
43:36 And the good news is that the program is about to end.
43:38 So, we are good to go, basically.
43:40 So, I thought I will just say thank you.
43:42 One more thing, friends.
43:44 I will not be joining The Pavilion
43:46 tomorrow onwards. So, I do apologize for that.
43:48 But thank you, gentlemen.
43:50 You have been very, very supportive.
43:52 Sir, we will miss you.
43:54 Sir, for how long?
43:56 I know, I know.
43:58 Sir, for how long?
44:00 Sir, for how long?
44:02 We will change the name to The Pavilion.
44:04 We will call it "Khuli Baithak".
44:06 Khuli Baithak?
44:08 I hope you enjoyed it.
44:10 I am sure you will be very happy.
44:12 Because now, no one is going to steal their bread.
44:14 And I want to tell you about
44:16 tomorrow's match.
44:18 This is the match we are bringing to you tomorrow.
44:20 It's another game of cricket.
44:22 It's South Africa vs Netherlands.
44:24 The match will be live from Dharamshala.
44:26 Remember, the Netherlands has once defeated
44:28 South Africa in the T20 World Cup.
44:30 Yes, they have defeated us.
44:32 They have defeated us.
44:34 So, this should be an interesting
44:36 conversation that we will have tomorrow.
44:38 So, you will have a new host tomorrow.
44:40 I hope you enjoy from tomorrow onwards
44:42 with the new host.
44:44 And I had said one more thing.
44:46 "It bit Gulkan".
44:48 I will tell you the correct and bad meaning of it.
44:50 It bit Gulkan.
44:52 It bit Gulkan.
44:54 Thick tea and cold buns.
44:56 That was all this.
44:58 That was all this.
45:00 That's exactly what it is.
45:02 And, listen to this.
45:04 I won't leave now.
45:06 Thank you.
45:08 Shoaib, thank you very much.
45:10 Outstanding like always.
45:12 Thank you.
45:14 You have been fantastic. Great to have you in the Pavilion.
45:16 Thank you.
45:18 You will be missed.
45:20 Thank you very much for all your support throughout.
45:22 And, Wasim, thank you very much.
45:24 Like always, fantastic.
45:26 Don't forget my almond milk.
45:28 I shall not.
45:30 So, good luck with the new host.
45:32 And I will probably see you in the next
45:34 edition of the Pavilion.
45:36 That is if there is another World Cup to happen
45:38 that we shall get the rights for.
45:40 Till then, take care of yourselves, everyone.
45:42 Stay safe. Be kind to each other.
45:44 And I am Fakhar Adam signing off from the Pavilion.
45:46 Good night.
45:48 (upbeat music)
