00:00 Basit bhai, rightly called. When the bench strokes were standing and you were taking shots,
00:04 Basit bhai said he will score 100 today. I said, looking at the situation, he doesn't score 100, but today he scored 100.
00:09 I guess I succeeded.
00:11 How do you see? England was also playing on a guess, but this time they played well.
00:15 No, we should give credit to the way the Netherlands scored 6 outs.
00:19 That team told us that in the coming days, just like Afghanistan has come up a lot,
00:25 this team will also have a lot of problems in T20, the World Cup in America and West Indies.
00:34 It's a good sign that the teams below will also put such pressure that the big teams are also under pressure.
00:41 It's a good sign for cricket.
00:43 Absolutely right. Azhar, how do you see this performance?
00:46 Struggling throughout this World Cup, the English side, today they must have got some confidence.
00:51 But even today, there was a struggling. There was a 129 partnership between Stokes and Vox.
00:57 They saved it, otherwise the situation was good. Even in that, the catch was taken from Arian Dutt.
01:03 It was a little tough, the catch was on a low trajectory, but if you want to defeat such a team,
01:08 you will have to take such chances. And all the batsmen are bench strokes.
01:11 If they had been out there, then they would have probably been able to do 260-270.
01:16 So I think they got that advantage of the 129 partnership, which is such a big total.
01:21 Otherwise, I think the way the Netherlands came back, the starting line was very good.
01:26 Milan did 87, did very outstanding batting, but they out the middle order.
01:30 They came back with wickets, their fielding was very good apart from that catch.
01:34 They stopped a lot of runs in the ground field.
01:37 I think the Netherlands should take credit. Under pressure, they showed character.
01:42 Talking about Ben Stokes, you can always see Test cricket, ODI cricket, T20 cricket.
01:50 Whenever they come under pressure, they play such innings.
01:55 And today, they showed their calibre again.
01:58 Ben Stokes is feeling very hurt because in the last 1-2 years,
02:03 they have saved Test cricket at the next level for England.
02:06 So, seeing ODI cricket, especially in the World Cup, I can see his face.
02:12 There is disappointment.
02:13 There is disappointment in the whole team, but Ben Stokes, because he likes to win matches.
02:19 And the way he plays cricket, he is very hurt.
02:23 And I think the whole of England will be hurt at this time.
02:26 Absolutely, no one was expecting such a performance from a reigning champion.
02:29 Let's talk about Joe Root.
02:31 Because we talk about how all the players in this team play in the same way, play fast.
02:37 Joe Root is a dependable person.
02:39 If you take out the first two performances of Joe Root, 77 and 82,
02:43 then 11, 2, 3, 0, 13, 28 today,
02:47 he seems to be losing his mojo.
02:52 His charm of playing standing up and taking his time.
02:56 The way he got out today while playing short, it was unnecessary.
02:59 Absolutely, and now he is set.
03:03 It was necessary to get a form.
03:05 Two very important matches for him.
03:07 To qualify for the Champions Trophy.
03:09 So, I think he should have taken it long.
03:12 Because he is a batsman.
03:13 He is a runs machine from the England team.
03:15 He has done runs in every format.
03:17 So, it was very important to get his form back.
03:20 Ben Stokes is there to play such shots.
03:22 Then Harry Brooke is not to come after that.
03:24 He has all the shots.
03:26 His job was like a barber from our team.
03:29 He was playing, handling one-hand, Virat Kohli.
03:32 So, this role is given to Joe Root.
03:34 That's why he has brought him along.
03:36 So, I think playing such shots is a crime.
03:39 He is putting his team under pressure.
03:41 That is the partnership of 130 runs.
03:43 Because of which he didn't save.
03:45 He was supposed to get out at 50-60.
03:48 Absolutely.
03:49 After that, the batting that Ben Stokes did today,
03:52 you can say that Ben Stokes is not that strong in the open.
03:56 He has scored 340 runs.
03:59 If he was on the experience side, he would have struggled.
04:02 So, the batting that Ben Stokes did,
04:04 he should have done it 3 matches before.
04:07 He saw the situation with the patients.
04:09 So, he has played steady innings.
04:11 He has come to the end and has done runs.
04:13 In the last 15 overs, he has done almost 150 runs.
04:16 So, you have to play condition-wise.
04:19 What is the need of the team?
04:20 You cannot go with one flow.
04:22 So, I think these teams have done runs because of this.
04:25 The team was strong.
04:27 But the level of the England team,
04:29 which had come to Swatika, was very high.
04:31 According to that, the performance was not good.
04:33 The performance was not good at all.
04:34 And it is not good even today.
04:35 I am happy that these teams,
04:38 Afghanistan, Netherlands,
04:41 Bangladesh should learn from them.
04:44 How they have come to the big events with preparation.
04:47 Sri Lanka should learn.
04:49 Even we should learn.
04:51 How they have come to Afghanistan with preparation.
04:53 So, at least, they should have prepared better.
