00:00I am 59 years old.

00:02We have the world with us.

00:04Everyone is a fan of cricket.

00:06When something good happens in cricket, everyone is happy.

00:08When something bad happens, everyone is sad.

00:10Whether it is an actor, an actor,

00:12a player, a politician.

00:14So let's talk.

00:16Mr. Haider Abbas Rizvi.

00:18He is a famous name in Pakistan's politics.

00:20He is a great cricketer.

00:22He is a big fan of cricket.

00:24He is with us.

00:26Is it very sad

00:28that I remember a lot of incidents

00:30when I am talking to you.

00:32I am not saying that you should not win in one team.

00:34You have to lose in one team.

00:36But most of the time,

00:38our name is among the losers.

00:40And there is no problem in losing.

00:42One-sided, without any plan.

00:44We were just talking about it.

00:46It is okay.

00:48Sometimes your plan is executed.

00:50Sometimes it fails.

00:52Here the problem is that there is no plan.

00:54So not having a plan,

00:56and being consistent.

00:58Isn't this a serious problem?

01:00In such a big country,

01:02where cricket is not just a game.

01:04Cricket is the only thing that unites everyone.

01:08There is no doubt

01:10that in our country,

01:12cricket is such a sport

01:14that it does not make

01:16our national integrity

01:18credible.

01:20It not only makes it, but also shows it.

01:22The whole of Pakistan becomes one

01:24in the name of cricket.

01:26But today's match

01:28and the way

01:30Pakistan batted,

01:32it was very

01:34regretful.

01:36There was a time when

01:38there were no runs in Pakistan's batting.

01:40When runs started to be made,

01:42when you had to come

01:44and hit, when you had to

01:46launch an attack,

01:48our entire middle order collapsed.

01:50This is a very surprising thing.

01:52And it felt like

01:54even if there was a plan to

01:56hit 270,

01:58if you were targeting

02:00270, then actually

02:02if you are targeting

02:04270,

02:06then you have to

02:08aim for 325-330.

02:12But it was not visible

02:14that we were targeting

02:16325-330. It felt like

02:18we were trying to

02:20target 325-330.

02:24And you said that this match

02:26was over.

02:28Is it over now?

02:32Look, cricket is a game

02:34in which nothing can be said.

02:36But the way the game is being played,

02:38the comfortability with which

02:40India is playing right now,

02:42the way the team is standing,

02:44the way the runs are coming,

02:46and our bowling is not

02:48perfect. Their spinners

02:50had given us time.

02:52But our spinners are not

02:54able to work much.

02:56In such a situation,

02:58our bowling was weak.

03:00We could see this before

03:02going into this tournament

03:04that our bowling side is weak.

03:06Shaheen is not able to give

03:08the performance for which

03:10he is famous.

03:12And even after that,

03:14Naseem was still giving

03:16the performance.

03:24And who disappointed you

03:26the most in batting?

03:30Let me say that

03:32we depend a lot on

03:34Babar in our innings.

03:36Babar should have

03:38been standing. He was a

03:40very small outswinger

03:42who is a very normal

03:44bowler.

03:48I was surprised

03:50how Babar could

03:52play so far away from the body.

03:54And this is completely

03:56coincidental with you.

03:58I am giving you my respect.

04:00Let me tell you one last thing.

04:02As a layman,

04:04we are not even committing

04:06new mistakes.

04:08These are old problems.

04:10This is a long debate.

04:12What is the central

04:14responsibility of this

04:16organization?

04:20We are not even committing

04:22new mistakes.

04:24I think that

04:26PCG was more focused

04:28on building a stadium

04:30than building a team.

04:34Our selectors, chief selectors,

04:36team management,

04:38captains,

04:40it's all a process

04:42before going to a big event.

04:44I don't know how much

04:46they followed and how much they didn't.

04:48Today, we gave a chance

04:50to Imam,

04:52but he couldn't do anything.

04:54We sent a player

04:56who is usually

04:58known for power hitting.

05:00We had to try

05:02in that. We didn't

05:04perform well in 2-3 matches.

05:06But their record against India

05:08is very good.
