00:14Hello and welcome to sports room. I'm your host, Najeev al-Asnayan and excitement has increased.
00:21Tri-Series has reached the end of the series, which has reached the English team.
00:27The first match is the one-day series of tri-series, and obviously this is the first step for the
00:35next year 50-over World Cup.
00:37The first match will be in Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
00:40In the studio, our sports correspondent Shahid Hashmii.
00:43Welcome to the show.
00:45Shahid Hashmii, you have confidence in the T20 series, you have a confidence, a morale booster, and then you are
00:51going to the tri-series.
00:53The team is almost completely different.
00:57Is it a new game?
01:01It's a new game.
01:03The format is new.
01:04The captain is new.
01:06But the coach, the coaching staff is new.
01:09The mentality and strategy should be in T20.
01:12We have played aggressive cricket.
01:14This is our team.
01:16It's been about a year in World Cup.
01:19We are better in both teams.
01:22Pakistan is 5, England is 6, Sri Lanka is 7.
01:26But our England is a very poor record.
01:29If you look at one day international,
01:30we have the last 19 match, if you look at Pakistan and England,
01:34we have only three total wins and 15 wins.
01:39That's a lot.
01:40We have a bit of a range.
01:41The last series we have won the Bilateral for us,
01:43is because it started in Pakistan when the match came in 2005.
01:46So if we have the match,
01:47God don't do it ever,
01:48then ever again.
01:50It means that what it means that
01:51the team is good for England and the strong performance,
01:54the big professional team is good.
01:55Although, the team is not so very long,
01:56Jofra Archer being the player,
01:57which is not the main player to end today,
02:00which is the main player,
02:02but within the team,
02:03the team is still full.
02:05Sony Baker has also good performance at the end,
02:09Henry Crocombe is a youngster who has a head-trick in back-to-back county matches, which is a great
02:14thing, he is a good swing baller, but when you go back, he is not so conducive for pace balling,
02:21so the picket is also good.
02:25He is a good swing baller, and he is a good swing baller, but when you go back, you are
02:36not so conducive for pace balling, so the picket is also good.
02:40I don't know who you are, but the picket is also good.
02:42He is a proven wide baller, Adil Rashid is a proven wide baller, who wants to train red baller too,
02:48It's a little bit that he wants to give attention to the wide ball.
02:51Sam Coles, who was the highest paid cricketer now,
02:55also does batting and also does balling.
02:57Then his fast balling is such a balling that you play Sam Karan in one day.
03:03Sam Karan will be very excited because of his injury in Sri Lanka.
03:09He wants to prove himself.
03:12Then you got the name of Sonny Becker.
03:13When he comes here, he has said that he is excited before.
03:20He wants to do more work on the reverse swing.
03:24He doesn't have skill.
03:27Yes, he has skill, batting and balling.
03:29Harry Brook has been a cricketer, Ben Duckett.
03:33Tom Benton has also done a great century.
03:36In the past season, he has done 300-100 counter cricket.
03:40But this part of the world, he doesn't perform so good.
03:44Especially in our PSL.
03:46He has a low bounce.
03:47He has more than he gets down.
03:50The ball is not so high as they like him.
03:52The problem is, but they are very adaptable.
03:56They are adaptable.
03:57They do different training.
03:58They go to different places.
03:59They make their plans for different reasons.
04:01And Brandon Mekulam, who has coached here.
04:05Lahore Kalender, Pakistan, cricket, cricket.
04:08So everyone has an idea of how to play here and behind them.
04:13The point is, what kind of pitches are we against England?
04:18Because we are talking about England every time.
04:20We feel that our match will be better than them.
04:22Sri Lanka doesn't have a good situation.
04:24So what kind of pitches are we going to make?
04:27Because they can make them from spin.
04:29If we are ready for the world cup, we help the pitch to the fast baller.
04:35So we need to make such pitches, which is good bounce, which is good fast balling.
04:40We want to make such a good result, we want to go to the final.
04:43We want to win the trophy, but if you want to achieve a bigger goal,
04:49then you have to make good pitches.
04:50Now, the curator of PCB, Arshad Bata, a famous first class cricket player,
04:55his son, Ousman Arshad.
04:57And they have good knowledge, they have good knowledge.
05:00Over the years, they were deputy, curator, now they are main curator.
05:03So they want to make good pitches and then management to see that if we are South Africa,
05:09if we are ready for the next year, if we are ready for England,
05:11if we are ready for the next year, we will make aggressive, bouncy pitches.
05:15We will make aggressive, bouncy pitches.
05:15We will make our batting, the equation, the batting, the practice will be good.
05:18And our fast balling is good, Shaheen is, Haris Rauf is, Naseem Shah is, Razaullah is.
05:24So these are such ballers that you have to give conducive pitches.
05:27But this is what you are saying, I agree with this.
05:31You are saying that we have to look at the bigger picture,
05:33and we will see our goals, but what do you think, Mike Haysen,
05:36because recently I have noticed that I think it's a lot of short-term goals,
05:42that they are more focused on their goals in short-term goals.
05:44The next thing is very important to think that we are ready for it.
05:48As you say, the pitches should be ready for it.
05:49It should be ready for it.
05:50And that's why you have to go to South Africa.
05:52South Africa is only a blue fountain, a ground where you look at the top ten ballers,
05:57and you see three spinners.
05:59For example, Centurion is only one of the top ten ballers in the top ten ballers.
06:02That's our right goal.
06:05And as far as you can see, the ground where you look at South Africa,
06:07they are conducive to fast balling.
06:09Although now there is a new concept that there will be exchangeable pitches.
06:14There are eight venues in this World Cup.
06:17They are making exchangeable pitches for the eight of the eight venues.
06:19The ones that will be different in the world.
06:21But the nature of the soil, the nature of the grass,
06:25the nature of the soil, the nature of the soil can't change.
06:28And in South Africa, there are good pitches.
06:30There are runs, there are balls, but the ballers also get support.
06:34Now Australia and South Africa, the test match in Durban,
06:38Australia has 20 out and 18 catches in South Africa.
06:42Brilliant.
06:44You talked about spin-balling,
06:45so Lex Spinner Mason Crane is getting a chance to play.
06:50Marcus Knott deserves a new opportunity.
06:53There is another opportunity at this level.
06:56So what happened with Rehaan Ahmed so much to rely on Rehaan Ahmed?
07:01Where did Mason Crane come from?
07:03Rehaan has not given the result of him.
07:05He has been wanting to play.
07:06But Sri Lanka also played the series.
07:07So he thought that we will have to take another play.
07:11Calvin is also a right arm black spinner.
07:14This Mason Crane is also a Mason Crane.
07:23He was also a player of the team.
07:24He was a player of the team.
07:25But he has given the talent to play this season.
07:28He wanted to play cricket.
07:29If you want to play cricket, then you have to take a look at your batting.
07:31Okay.
07:31In this country season, Craig Overtun, who is the team's part of the team,
07:36or Jamie Overtun,
07:38Craig Overtun took the two centuries as a bowler.
07:42Mason Crane took the two centuries.
07:44So he gave a recipe that if you play cricket,
07:47then you have to take a look at your batting.
07:47So you have to take a look at your batting.
07:48That's why he came to the wide ball of the team.
07:51Okay.
07:51So if you look at the two teams,
07:53then right now, before the start of the Tri-Series,
07:57you have to take a look at your batting.
07:59They don't go to the rankings.
08:00But you can see that.
08:01If you see the results,
08:02they have to take a look at their batting.
08:03Their players value the wide ball of the cricket.
08:08Wide ball of the cricketers are also different.
08:10It's okay that they have to take a look at the wide ball of the cricket.
08:14But the test cricket also plays the style of the cricket.
08:17In the world, there are very few batsmen who leave 8% or 9% deliveries.
08:24They don't leave the ball.
08:25They try to play every ball of the cricket.
08:27And so, Brendan McKillum took the wide ball of the cricket.
08:31If you look at the man-to-man,
08:32if you look at the team,
08:33it's a little better than us.
08:35The results of them are good.
08:36But the home advantage of Pakistan is the home advantage.
08:38When we talk about it,
08:40and we talk a lot about you,
08:42that we need to do it in T20 and T200 and T400.
08:45We need to do it in T20.
08:46But when I look at my score,
08:49I feel like you can see the players that you have less than the players.
08:56Relatively, what are the other teams.
08:57I'm going to do it in T20.
09:20गाजी गोरी आया है अगर साथ बेक को चांस मिला वो भी तेज़ केलता है उपर से आपको एक बेस
09:26अगर मिल जाए ना पहले 10-15 ओर में फिर आप आखरी 10-15 ओर में जो डेथ ओवर्ज होते
09:31हैं उसमें स्कोर करते हैं तो फखर है साएं में इन से पाकिस्तान को उम्मीद होगी
09:35कि ये अच्छा खेलें स्टार्ट ऐसा रोबस दें हसन नवाज अब आया है हसन नवाज ने एक ही सीरीज के
09:40लिए वेस्ट इंडीज में नचाने क्यों हमने उसे एकदम से हटा दिया 60 उसमें किया था उसने वो भी तेज़
09:45कहलता है तो हमें अब ये एडॉप्ट करना पड�
10:08करना चाहिए और इतना वक्त नहीं है तो अभी से ये करना चाहिए उसे वंडे जादा अपना सब्जू रखता है
10:18तो आप ऐसा लगता है थोड़ी सी बॉलिंग थोड़ी सी बैटिंग में
10:31थीष बंडे का रेकॉर्ड उसका बहुत अच्छा है तो आप पाकिस्तान को शुरू के 10-12 ओर में रन चाहिए
10:43फील्ड क्लियर करें जाहिए जाहिरे फील्डर अंदर होता है तो आपको चांस होता है कि आप रिंग के ऊपर से
10:49खेले वो चांस एडॉप्र करना चाहिए अग
10:54He was very good with the red ball and the wide ball.
10:57In the last five national T20, he was a top scorer in the last five national T20.
11:03And in that top, he has gradually improved.
11:06He started with the strike rate of 132.
11:08He came to the 170 and the 190.
11:11He made 600 runs in the last five national T20.
11:14He was on this one.
11:17So, he naturally progressed.
11:20But he was not able to improve the trade.
11:27He was able to get moreátic y'all.
11:28Maybe after this series,
11:29but if it includes injury,
11:32you should also make it a little bit.
11:33He chose to do the same thing.
11:35What a mistake between Kamran Gulaam has happened in the other direction,
11:39practicing the team,
11:41waiting for the team at the test,
11:43or the first time in the test,
11:43I don't think he's like.
11:45Kamran Gulaam needs really injustice.
11:48He wants to do it in the net.
11:51He wants to try to play that as he's doing the same ball.
11:54He's a left arm spinner.
11:55He's a good left arm spinner.
11:56If he has a heart of Mike's mind, he's doing the same ball.
11:59I don't see clarity.
12:03In the world cup, he's doing it.
12:06I'm saying that he's doing it.
12:08Sometimes he pays it.
12:09Sometimes he pays off.
12:11A nice baller or a bader.
12:19It's a very rigid policy that you need to be a perfect batsman and a perfect baller.
12:28That doesn't work, but you need to go to T20. You need to go to specialists.
12:37You need to be strong in your middle order. You need somebody like Kamran Gulaam in the middle.
12:43You need to be strong in your middle order.
12:50But Kamran Gulaam is really strong in the middle of 2024.
12:56We were in South Africa.
12:58It was a very aggressive 50.
13:01There were many people who said that fielding is wrong.
13:04If you were a community, you would have to be strong in the fielding.
13:08Balling must be.
13:09Balling must be.
13:09You need to be strong in the team.
13:11Let's put a look at one day.
13:14The main purpose of this Tri-Series is that we can prepare the World Cup.
13:18What are the results of Pakistan?
13:21We have done this in 2022 until 2023.
13:25We have played 32 matches with 17 and 15.
13:31The total series has been made in total.
13:33We have won 5 and 3.
13:35The highlights of this game is in Australia.
13:39Australia won 2-1.
13:40South Africa won 3-0.
13:43harana. So, this is a great performance. But then, after that, we have done some mistakes
13:49which, overall, you can see 23-23 until one day, where are we going?
13:54The highest point was that Pakistan was going to Australia.
13:58Okay, first two, we had a full strength team. We had a full strength team. We had one day.
14:03The next two, we had won. Third, we had no full strength. But Australia,
14:07any team, we had a strong achievement. We had a strong achievement.
14:12Then, South Africa, we had a strong team in South Africa. We had a strong team in their team.
14:16They had some strong players. But we had three-nil whiteness.
14:22That team, we talked about the most about the players. We talked about the four steps
14:27to the eight steps. That team, the team in their Tri-Series, in their Champions Trophy,
14:33in their Champions Trophy, in their Champions Trophy. That team was the last one.
14:37We didn't know that today. We didn't know that. We had a little selection.
14:39The selection was a very big issue.
14:42But one team, which had such a good result, was a bad one.
14:46In my opinion, the last two years, the highest point was that we had Australia
14:50to Australia and South Africa to South Africa.
14:53If we had the Champions Trophy, we had a final game, or semi-final game,
14:57we were playing. So our performance is also like, we are not saying that we had a progress
15:01against the progress. But you said that you couldn't have an open
15:05game, you didn't have a proper opener, you were not with one spinner.
15:08You were with one spinner. After this, we talked about it here.
15:14you can't get your own
15:17you can't understand
15:19your selection committee
15:21even Aakib Javid
15:23and Rizwan was the captain
15:25he didn't force
15:26to make an opener
15:28and make an opener
15:30you can't get a spinner
15:31you can't get a match
15:32but you have two match
15:38and you have two match
15:39you have to
15:41you have to make a defensive game
15:45playing here
15:45you can also have a good game
15:48but you have to make a match
15:50you have to make an match
15:51so our teams
15:51always do not make two steps
15:54then three steps or four steps
15:55this one day team is a better job
15:58I hope you have to make an exciting match
16:02your team
16:02gives a good performance
16:04and this line will be better
16:18I'm glad to have you back once again to sports room.
16:20I'm glad to have you back to the team of T20 World Champion, but West Indies has given me a
16:25chance to win in Bangalore.
16:28What's the name of Shay Hope? What are the performances?
16:34They said that I have so many Man of the Match awards that I have to give extra money to
16:43get to my home on the flight.
16:45Man of the Match is the real thing is cash. You always have to keep someone in mind.
16:51The main thing is cash.
16:53But the outstanding performance is that in the four chases, two 1-day and two T20 centuries.
17:01One-50. One time in the 1-day and one time in the T20.
17:05I've also asked Darren Semi that you are very reliant.
17:09It's not Shay Hope, but it's not my second player. Shelf and Rutherford are very good.
17:14Rutherford is so good.
17:15The team has given me a chance to win.
17:17One that was wrong.
17:18After that, it was a lot of anger from the Indian team.
17:21Robin Powell didn't play so much.
17:22The T20 is a great hard hitting.
17:24Maybe a little number is up to him.
17:26If you throw it in four numbers, it's also the Akshar Patel.
17:29If you throw it in front of Akshar Patel, it's a bit difficult to kill him.
17:33But it feels like the team will win all these matches.
17:37But one of the Indians has defended.
17:38The total one of the West Indies has defended.
17:41And you have done a good balling.
17:42If you're doing any flat track,
17:44where you're making 200-200 runs,
17:46you can defend there too.
17:47You have a good catching.
17:49The West Indies have a good catching.
17:51They have defended their balling.
17:53And now all of the eyes will be up to Bengaluru.
17:56It's very crucial to the team.
17:58The team is playing a long score.
18:00But this has been proven that the ballers can defend too.
18:05But if you look at this,
18:06there's a weakness in the Indian team.
18:10Clearly that their balling is a little bit less.
18:13The Akshar has a lot of pressure.
18:15And without Bumra,
18:17they can see incomplete.
18:18The two players are very difficult.
18:20Hardik Pandya.
18:21And Jaspreet Bumra.
18:22Jaspreet Bumra's four overs are different.
18:25But again,
18:27it's the same thing that
18:27when the West Indies comes to Bumra,
18:29they try to do it
18:30that we can play two hours
18:32and play two hours easily.
18:35But in the last two hours,
18:36we'll have a little bit of pressure.
18:38So it's not like that.
18:39Saad Masood has beaten
18:42Bumra's four overs.
18:43So,
18:43the ballers seem to have a time pass.
18:47The people read it.
18:48They read it.
18:49They read it.
18:50They read it.
18:52They read it.
18:53They read it.
18:54They read it.
18:55And they read it.
18:55The one thing that is,
18:56the hand is the five to six inches
18:59that the hand goes to the left,
19:02the other one gets to reach it.
19:04The one who gets to reach the two hours,
19:05and the batsman gets better.
19:08So,
19:08we've talked about it a little bit,
19:213.3 seconds. You have to decide what you want to play.
19:25Whether it's a World Cup or the last World Cup, the problem is that when the boomer
19:29came, they had to get out of their team. So this is an advantage of them. And then
19:34their injuries, like Hardik's work, with Hardik's presence, they are prepared for
19:40Harshit Rana. They are also injured. So these are the issues that they are going to
19:44do.
19:44They have their players. They played Shethi. He played well. He played well.
19:52He played well. He played well. He played well. Prince Yadev. He played well.
19:58But Hardik Pandya is a proven match winner. He is a proven all-rounder.
20:03So his loss will be in India. And now there are a lot of issues.
20:06If you go to the ODI World Cup, Hardik Pandya is your answer.
20:11Now we have to rest a little bit and manage a little workload.
20:14So he will play 2-3 series. He will be set up. His name is India.
20:18He will not be able to do rehab in India.
20:20So India has a feeling that Hardik Pandya is not an exact replacement.
20:26It is 18-20, but it is not 19-20.
20:29Thank you very much for having us.
20:30We were talking about all the topics of today's program.
20:32This program is just so much.
20:33Please give us your support.
20:35Please keep your support.
20:36Please keep your support.
20:36Allah Afein.
