00:00Shweb, Isambhad, 3 wins in 3 games. Dominance is going on now.
00:05Have you tweeted or have you tweeted?
00:07I don't think.
00:08Have you tweeted?
00:09Yes, yes, yes.
00:10What did you tweet do?
00:11You have to go back again.
00:13Do you believe that the holder signing was very good?
00:16Yes.
00:17Yes, Ali Tarreen.
00:19Obviously, he must be feeling.
00:22Well, he's a good guy though.
00:24The spirit doesn't scare him.
00:27I don't know the guy but you know,
00:29I think he's a great guy, right?
00:33So, he wants to do well for the PSL and everything.
00:37But, you have to tell this in the tweet.
00:41You are playing with 8 players in Islamabad United.
00:458 players.
00:46Today, Heather Ali has been playing with a band.
00:49Okay?
00:50Yes.
00:51Now, they have,
00:53they have 200 players.
00:56Now, they have 200 players.
00:58Yes.
00:59Yes.
01:00Now, what do we have to do?
01:01I don't have to worry about it.
01:03Jordan has,
01:04Jordan has,
01:05Jordan has,
01:06in the last 19 balls,
01:07in my opinion,
01:08one of the turns.
01:10In the 19 balls.
01:11Yes.
01:12In which Heather Ali and Jason Holder,
01:14they have killed and killed.
01:16So,
01:17I think the problem lies in the bowling.
01:21And,
01:22unfortunately,
01:23captaincy,
01:24it's basically run-of-the-mill
01:27that's the problem.
01:28If he says that he wants to eat 200,
01:29he says that he wants to do the bowling.
01:31He doesn't want to hit me.
01:33He doesn't want to change building,
01:34he doesn't want to change building,
01:35he doesn't want to change building.
01:36He says that he wants to eat 200,
01:37he doesn't want to eat 200.
01:38He doesn't want to eat 200.
01:39Rizwan's blow average.
01:40Apart from his batting,
01:42I think it's a very average captaincy.
01:47And,
01:48I think it's a very,
01:49very bad bowling squad.
01:50First of all,
01:51Shoaibbi,
01:52today,
01:53what happened in Islamabad
01:54and Pindy,
01:55after that,
01:56prepare the ground and match.
01:57What happened?
01:58What happened?
01:59At the level,
02:00the rain,
02:01hail-storms,
02:02and the hole,
02:03the tennis balls.
02:04After that,
02:05prepare the ground and match.
02:07That's a great thing.
02:08First of all,
02:09we had to go inside.
02:10Let's go inside.
02:11Let's go inside.
02:12Let's go inside.
02:13First of all,
02:14it does,
02:15does, does.
02:16First of all,
02:17it's raining.
02:18It's raining.
02:19It's raining.
02:20Then,
02:21it's raining.
02:22Then,
02:23it's raining.
02:24Then,
02:25I thought,
02:26I'm a poor man.
02:27I'm a poor man.
02:28But,
02:29my heart goes out for people
02:31who have been very hurt.
02:33And,
02:34you know,
02:35their cars,
02:36the solars,
02:37my heart goes out for you.
02:39God will do this.
02:41But,
02:42it's just this.
02:43But,
02:44again,
02:45I thought,
02:46God said,
02:47that's the ram.
02:48He said,
02:49that's the job.
02:50He had to charge double the money.
02:51The wind screen,
02:52the rate will double.
02:53And,
02:54the dents will double.
02:55The dry dents,
02:56the dents,
02:57the panels,
02:58and he cut.
02:59He cut.
03:00He cut.
03:01He cut.
03:02He cut.
03:03He cut.
03:04Public service appealed.
03:06He cut.
03:07He cut.
03:08He cut.
03:09I think...
03:10Did you expect that it could happen?
03:12No, I was expecting it.
03:13I was expecting it.
03:14It's a Pindi.
03:15It's normal.
03:16I don't know before.
03:17It's all things are top level and extraordinary.
03:19And it's a match now.
03:20It's a match.
03:21It's a match for 200.
03:23It's a match for 200.
03:24It's a match for 200.
03:26Otherwise, it's a match for 10.
03:27They've been reading it for 200.
03:29200, you don't have 200.
03:31Let's talk about this total.
03:35I think once again,
03:37it's a match for 200.
03:39Back to back.
03:41Form of his life.
03:42I think that he played 2 months ago.
03:47It's always a phase.
03:50It's a good thing.
03:52He's not throwing his wickets.
03:54Sometimes it happens when you get a form.
03:57I've seen that he throws his wickets.
04:00But he's still playing sensibly.
04:02It's a match for the brand.
04:05That's why he's not that.
04:08Yes, I think so.
04:09Right.
04:10But, it's amazing.
04:11But yeah, he's still playing.
04:12He's still playing a lot.
04:13Yeah.
04:14Yeah, yeah.
04:15Yeah, he's still playing.
04:16No, no, no.
04:17Yeah.
04:18But he's still playing.
04:19Yeah.
04:20Yeah.
04:21Wow.
04:22He has this fun.
04:23He's still playing.
04:24I'm saying why he likes the match.
04:26Yeah.
04:27That's how he takes a match because he feels good.
04:29The initial squad picked in PSL's team has not been picked up in PSL.
04:34He has come in replacement.
04:37He has come in replacement.
04:40So he was not there.
04:43So this is actually a big question mark on our selection.
04:46Yes, I get it.
04:48They are owners. They have all the rights.
04:51But still,
04:53I mean,
04:55He was not there.
04:56This is our domestic T20.
05:01This squad got 3-2 centuries.
05:04After that,
05:06he was injured and replaced.
05:09In 30 days, he has 4 T20 hundreds.
05:13That's a lot.
05:15So let's go.
05:17The most important thing was to get the heat.
05:20If you play,
05:21if you play,
05:22he was saying,
05:24if you play,
05:26then he will play as an opener.
05:29You won't play as an opener.
05:31No, it's not.
05:33It's not.
05:34It's not.
05:35It's not.
05:36It's not.
05:37It's not.
05:38It's not.
05:40It's not.
05:41If you play,
05:42then don't play.
05:43Do they play.
05:45Then play,
05:46when they perform.
05:48Exactly.
05:50For the sake of playing him,
05:52We had to play the media and make a…
05:54People called our selection committee
05:56and management.
05:58No one had a fight.
06:00Yes,
06:01If you want to set up someone for success or set up someone for failure, this is an intention.
06:08Like Saim has given a good run.
06:10Yes.
06:11Let's give it to Saim.
06:12What would happen to Saim?
06:13We had a set in five years.
06:16No.
06:17If you had a set, don't play.
06:18You don't play.
06:19You don't have to play.
06:20You don't have to play.
06:21You don't have to play.
06:22No.
06:23Because he's not in the team, you think that Saim and Saim will be more.
06:27Look, the top three, you can keep these teams.
06:30Maybe Saim will come to number three or even Fakhar.
06:34Fakhar even batted number four.
06:36So Fakhar's speciality is that he can play number three and number four.
06:41So you can fit him in the top three.
06:45Top three are a new player.
06:47Opener and one-down are a new player.
06:50Sana, what do you say?
06:51He's ready for international cricket completely now?
06:54Look, the last one we talked about was defining moments in your career.
06:59And there are some performances that you have to do with self-belief.
07:04That you don't have to do with external criticism and external criticism.
07:09What was the last one?
07:10The last one we played was the last one.
07:12In the last match, we talked about this.
07:16Shoshar's pinner,
07:17the first one we played with the players.
07:18And that's how we played.
07:19We played about this.
07:21And found everything.
07:22And so before that,
07:23we played a soft one.
07:24The nine players played against the same player.
07:25All the players played against the other players.
07:27That's where they played against more players.
07:28So the players did not play.
07:29They played against the other players.
07:30They played against the players.
07:31operate in power play. When you look at Islamabad, you can see the seamers
07:35with them, but the bowling also got a bit. But it's very outstanding.
07:39The four sides are playing. The timing is very important.
07:43And with the spinner attack, it's also a good thing.
07:46Not only the fast ball, but the spinners can dominate at the top.
07:51So it's confusing for the captain.
07:54But the thought process is not understood.
07:56Turian has played at them in power play.
08:02Turn has been easier in power play.
08:05After the match done by the time, it has been easier with the spinners.
08:10I didn't understand the left spinner.
08:12Generally, you say he has turned to the switch against the spin.
08:16This is difficult for the battle.
08:18But with the spin, wasn't it for Monroe during the game?
08:21Yes, it is.
08:23I mean he went for 37 and 3 hours.
08:35That's the question.
08:38So obviously this is a big issue on tactics and planning.
08:44Obviously the management is part of that.
08:50Obviously he can do that.
08:52Yeah, of course.
08:53If you don't have a cover then you can switch to plan B.
08:57Because they have a cover and one with one with one with one.
09:02Islamabad keeps changing the ballers.
09:05The format is set in T20.
09:08It's not like that.
09:09It's not like that.
09:10There is a difference too.
09:12If you look at Islamabad's line-up is more experienced and more suited to this format.
09:19If you look at it, they have also defended 200.
09:23I mean Miltan was in control until 15-16.
09:29They were like 128 to 5 and 16.
09:32And then they let it go.
09:34That's the problem that I'm talking about in this program.
09:36That you have a problem in death bowling.
09:39So you see, when people were playing in Islamabad,
09:42they were defending them.
09:43You look at the wide-e-orquer.
09:44That's what I said.
09:45That's what I said.
09:46That's what you want to do.
09:48Then you say to the batsmen,
09:49that you're going to beat the batsmen.
09:50That's where you beat the batsmen.
09:51That's where you beat the batsmen.
09:52So they started.
09:53Jason Older, around the stump.
09:54So he was trying to think.
09:56Basically you have to confuse the batsmen.
09:58You're not predictable.
10:00So that's the missing element.
10:02That's why they have been successful.
10:11They've been successful?
10:12No!
10:13They've been successful.
10:22No!
