00:00Hello and welcome to Sports Room. I am your host, Najeeb Al-Husnain. I hope you liked
00:20our programming for Eid. Now back to routine. And when it comes to routine, the Pakistan
00:25team is playing their routine. They are used to losing. It has been a long time that we
00:32are playing from New Zealand. We are changing the format. The result is still the same.
00:37This team from Pakistan, New Zealand's B, C and maybe the last match we played, if we
00:43call it D team, it won't be wrong. The Pakistan team doesn't have an answer for them either.
00:50Earlier, we used to say that Chapman used to worry a lot. Mark Chapman always used to
00:55perform against Pakistan. So, he wasn't a part of the team in this match. Despite that,
00:59they managed to score 292. And when it comes to Pakistan's batting, the condition is so
01:04difficult that it feels like we are playing somewhere else and they are playing somewhere
01:08else. Earlier, only Pakistanis used to talk about this. Some fans used to get worried
01:16after watching the team's performance. Now, more people are talking about it. And now
01:21people believe that Pakistan's team is an unhealthy team. According to New Zealand's
01:29newspaper, The Post, Pakistan's team is worse than Bangladesh. What is this news? Let's
01:36show you in this report.
01:45There it goes.
01:47Oh, crunch down. Got him.
01:51There it is.
02:01This could be out. This is it.
02:15This could be out.
02:45Oh, it's going to be out.
03:03Kamran Akmal is with us. Kamran, Asalam o Alaikum. Welcome to the show.
03:09Kamran, do you hear me?
03:11Kamran may not be able to hear us.
03:16Kamran will join us and we will talk about this as well.
03:21All the new players that New Zealand has tried,
03:25as we all know that 8-9 players are missing,
03:28and it is very difficult for them to play as a team.
03:32They don't have that kind of backup,
03:35but despite that, Pakistan's team is not able to win.
03:39Pakistan's team's performance is very bad.
03:43We are talking about one thing,
03:46that the batting is not good,
03:48and the bowling is worse than that.
03:50There are questions on fielding as well.
03:53Overall, we are struggling everywhere.
03:55Kamran Akmal has joined us again.
03:57Kamran, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
03:58Walaikum-o-Alaikum. How are you, Najib?
04:00Absolutely fine.
04:01Kamran, tell me, the performance that we are seeing right now,
04:05and as we have heard,
04:08New Zealand's newspaper, The Post,
04:11is also saying that Pakistan's team is such a bad team,
04:17and even worse than Bangladesh.
04:19They are saying that they are playing worse than Bangladesh.
04:22Yes, that is what we are seeing right now.
04:25The type of cricket we are playing,
04:27the approach we are playing with.
04:29Najib, why are we discussing this in this series?
04:32We saw this scenario 5-6 years ago.
04:35We saw it all.
04:37That this cricket is not going in the right direction.
04:40The results that we are seeing in the coming time,
04:43are very scary.
04:45We are seeing the same things today.
04:48It is a pity that a cricket team like Pakistan,
04:51a team like Pakistan,
04:53a team like Pakistan,
04:55a team like Pakistan,
04:57a team like Pakistan,
05:29our policy is not good,
05:31we are giving importance to domestic cricket.
05:33It is a pity.
05:35They have said this.
05:37In my opinion,
05:39it is a harsh word,
05:41because we have to say this now.
05:43Earlier we used to say,
05:45complete the process of domestic cricket.
05:47I feel that we are playing this type of cricket.
05:49We feel that we have not even played street cricket.
05:51We have not learned anything from there.
05:53We should first complete the SOPs there,
05:55as we have come,
05:57playing like this.
05:59So I am sorry to say,
06:01who should we blame?
06:03We will not accept Pakistan as a nation.
06:05We will not accept Pakistan as a nation.
06:07We cannot succeed for so long.
06:09So this is the reason for Pakistan's cricket,
06:11that we do not improve our process.
06:13We blindfold the boys and send them.
06:15It is not the boys' fault.
06:17It is not the boys' fault.
06:19This is the job of the decision makers,
06:21that what is the need of the team.
06:23The quota system is being completed here.
06:25No, what you are saying Kamran,
06:27the missing factor in that,
06:29which I think,
06:31you were talking about the new boys,
06:33we should talk about this in the T20 team.
06:35Is Abdullah new here?
06:37Is Imam new? Is Babar new?
06:39Captain Rizwan,
06:41the way he was getting worried,
06:43looking at the bounce,
06:45looking at the movement,
06:47which one of them is new?
06:49They did not have the best performance in the last match.
06:51But Salman Ali Agha is later than all of them.
06:53All of them are old players.
06:55Absolutely.
06:57All of them are old.
06:59And if you see,
07:01if there is a little bounce,
07:03then we do not even have good bowling.
07:05We deliver well.
07:07We say that we have the best bowling in the world.
07:09There is a little batting.
07:11If there is a little bounce and swing,
07:13then we do not even have good batting.
07:15Then in Asia,
07:17when the Champions Cup was held,
07:19the PR companies here,
07:21what did they start saying?
07:23That there is nothing left for the bowlers.
07:25Such pitches are made.
07:27They just leave there.
07:29Now here,
07:31you tell me,
07:33if the fast bowlers get such conditions
07:35and D and E team,
07:37they have a grade team,
07:39then you get them 292,
07:41344,
07:43where they should be out at 120,
07:45at 110.
07:47Here we are saying that they have three outs at 100.
07:49Should they have three outs at 100?
07:51They should have five outs at 50.
07:53They should have five outs at 40.
07:55You have five outs at 32.
07:57We have.
07:59We have.
08:01Tell me one thing,
08:03here you get the idea of game awareness.
08:05You get to know a little about the experience.
08:07Here you see how they have run.
08:09This is the ideal pitch
08:11that cuts the ball.
08:13They know that they will not be played in front here.
08:15If you get a little room here,
08:17you will cut it.
08:19If you come back a little, you will pull it.
08:21How did the openers play?
08:23How did Mitch Hay play?
08:25He has run the whole sphere of the wicket.
08:27You don't know what the condition is,
08:29what the pitch is demanding,
08:31how much batting you have to do.
08:33Here the length ball is coming in the middle.
08:35If you close your eyes and leave the bat,
08:37you are panicking yourself.
08:39You have no idea.
08:41That's why I'm telling you,
08:43I felt like our batsmen were on a dance floor.
08:45Exactly.
08:47They are dancing.
08:49I don't understand
08:51that your all-rounders
08:53and tail
08:55have played a little too much
08:57and your proper batsmen are not able to play.
08:59Mr. Hashmi has also joined us.
09:01Let's talk to him.
09:03Mr. Shahid, tell me,
09:0573 is of Faheem Ashraf
09:07and half-century is of Naseem Shah.
09:09How did they run?
09:11Faheem himself told the reason
09:13that when we went to bat,
09:15the ball was a little old.
09:17But the main reason of Faheem Ashraf
09:19is that he has played test matches
09:21in New Zealand.
09:23He has played a 90 and a 40.
09:25He has batted in New Zealand
09:27for all the test matches
09:29and swing conditions.
09:31But Pakistan team management
09:33is making a lot of mistakes.
09:35In these conditions,
09:37the whole match was pleasant.
09:39Naseem Shah is a swing bowler.
09:41How can you make him sit in this match?
09:45Your captain, Rizwan,
09:47was very poor in this match.
09:49Pakistan was fined again
09:51because of slow over.
09:55In the 27th over,
09:57New Zealand's 5th wicket fell to 132.
09:59At that time, Sukhiyan Muqeem
10:01made the 28th over.
10:03Both Hay and Abbas
10:05went to Chakmang.
10:07But in the 28th and 29th over,
10:09they made it with a fast bowler.
10:11Sukhiyan Muqeem was kept ahead
10:13so that the match
10:15doesn't end before the 50th over
10:17and we have to spend money.
10:19I don't know what is the problem
10:21with Sukhiyan Muqeem.
10:23Kamran, you must have realized
10:25what we said in the Champions Trophy
10:27that it will make a difference.
10:29He is bowling so well there.
10:31When he is getting a chance in the match,
10:33he is giving less runs and taking a wicket.
10:35If he had bowled in the Champions Trophy
10:37and given more excuses,
10:39wouldn't it have been better?
10:43A lot of things could have been better
10:45in the Champions Trophy.
10:47Look at the team selection.
10:49You don't have an opener.
10:51You don't have a all-rounder.
10:53It's like Fahim Ashraf.
10:55We have been saying for a long time
10:57that a fast-bowling all-rounder
10:59comes in the team as per the conditions.
11:01You have Fahim Ashraf or Ahmed Jamal.
11:03Even if you feed him,
11:05it's not about making a good combination.
11:07It's about feeding him.
11:09It's a tough condition.
11:11We have brought him to the side.
11:13We will give him a dark color.
11:15We will make him fly.
11:17This was the planning.
11:19It wasn't about
11:21making him perform to win.
11:23Allah is with him.
11:25Allah is going to give him respect.
11:27He is waiting.
11:29He hasn't gone with the team.
11:31He has done something.
11:33Look at Sufian.
11:35He played a match in T20.
11:37In the first match,
11:39he went with 4 bowlers.
11:41In the match yesterday,
11:43he took a fine from 5 bowlers.
11:45He doesn't use the 6th bowler.
11:47When he plays 4,
11:49he tries to get the 6th bowler to over 10.
11:51He saves time there.
11:53He has 4 fast bowlers.
11:55He should get him to over 4 or 5.
11:57Look at how Brazil bowls there.
11:59Muhammad Abbas.
12:01He came to Brazil to bowl in 5 outs.
12:03He saved time.
12:05He knows he has fast bowlers.
12:07This is smart captaincy.
12:09How to lead your team.
12:11In our team,
12:13game awareness,
12:15smart captaincy, professionalism
12:17has gone so far.
12:19I think they don't like to think.
12:21With these 3 things,
12:23let's talk about ability and skill.
12:25That is also not there.
12:27That is also very bad.
12:29Fahim Ashraf's performance was great.
12:31Let's see what he has to say.
12:59What has been happening for the past 5-6 years?
13:01We are talking about individual performances.
13:03Is Shahid Bhai with us?
13:05Yes.
13:07Kamran, let's talk about individual performances.
13:09Let's not talk about individual performances.
13:11Let's focus on the team.
13:13But tell me,
13:15for the past 4-5 years,
13:17everyone has been focusing on individual performances.
13:19See,
13:21we used to talk about this.
13:23Now, the team's
13:25playing side members
13:27come to our press conference.
13:29They say,
13:31as long as we don't play as a team,
13:33we can't be successful.
13:35Here, we were saying
13:37that selfish cricket is very much
13:39prevalent in Pakistan.
13:41You see,
13:43no one is thinking about the team.
13:45No one is thinking about Pakistan's cricket.
13:47This is the reason why
13:49Pakistan's cricket has come this far.
13:51I don't think the chairman
13:53can get a bigger message than this.
13:55He can't get a bigger message than
13:57after the T20 World Cup,
13:59when the team's players say
14:01that they don't want to play with Unity.
14:03Nothing happened then,
14:05and nothing will happen now.
14:07If we had sidelined those boys
14:09who had said this,
14:11who had made the team's atmosphere,
14:13things would have been much better.
14:15You could have said
14:17that when they said
14:19that we shouldn't even think about it,
14:21we should have taken action then.
14:23At that time,
14:25you could have taken action
14:27and said that I don't want to play test cricket,
14:29I will watch my own cricket.
14:31At that time,
14:33this wouldn't have happened.
14:35You have compromised,
14:37you have sacrificed
14:39with Pakistan's cricket.
14:41You have destroyed the system
14:43of Pakistan's cricket,
14:45you have destroyed the merit.
14:47So, you should get used to
14:49listening to such things.
14:51Till you don't change the culture
14:53at the grassroot level,
14:55these things won't get better.
14:57They will only go towards loss.
14:59You will have to deal professionally.
15:01Otherwise, there is no way.
15:03You see, professionally,
15:05anywhere in the world,
15:07the selectors of a team
15:09come to another position.
15:11Someone becomes a manager,
15:13someone becomes a coach,
15:15someone becomes a batting coach.
15:17There is no disrespect.
15:19No, no, no,
15:21I am talking about one thing.
15:23I am not talking about those people,
15:25the selectors.
15:27This is the work of your chairman.
15:29This is the work of your office people
15:31who have to take decisions.
15:33If you have made them selectors,
15:35then leave them on the ground.
15:37Go ahead, do scouting.
15:39I feel that
15:41if you make them selectors,
15:43then you give them
15:45various positions.
15:47Professionally,
15:49these are not the ways
15:51to work professionally.
15:53This will ruin things a lot.
15:55So, I think,
15:57the job you have chosen,
15:59you will keep it there.
16:01You will attach 2-3 jobs together.
16:03Things won't get better than that.
16:05Okay, let's take a short break.
16:17Welcome back once again.
16:39We are talking about Pakistan's performance
16:41in New Zealand.
16:43This is nothing new.
16:45We are not able to compete
16:47with their C and D teams.
16:49We have been losing to New Zealand
16:51for a long time.
16:53We are losing 12 matches
16:55on New Zealand's territory.
16:57This is the 4th series
16:59that we have lost in one day.
17:01There is no change.
17:03Now everyone is asking
17:05when will we win?
17:07What has changed in this long period?
17:09We are not able to win.
17:11We have prepared a package.
17:13We have lost many matches in New Zealand.
17:15We have lost many matches in New Zealand.
17:17We have lost many matches in New Zealand.
17:1914 years have passed.
17:21We have not won a single match in New Zealand.
17:23When we won the last time,
17:25Naseem Shah was only 8 years old.
17:27When we won in New Zealand,
17:29many players of the team
17:31went to the primary.
17:33They completed their studies
17:35and joined international cricket.
17:37Some got married.
17:39All the players of the winning team
17:41went to Pakistan.
17:43In 2011,
17:45Shahid Afridi was the last lucky captain.
17:47Pakistan won in New Zealand
17:49under his leadership.
17:51Then the story of losing started.
17:53Mizbal Haq, Azhar Ali, Sarfaraz Ahmed
17:55and now Rizwan.
17:57We have lost all 4 series.
17:59When will Pakistan win?
18:01This is the million dollar question.
18:03We have been playing bad cricket
18:05for a long time.
18:07We are playing everywhere.
18:09This is a bad patch.
18:11We are not able to win
18:13a single one day match.
18:15In 2011,
18:17we won the series
18:19before the World Cup.
18:21Look at the team at that time.
18:23They were so big and strong.
18:25Now, this team is
18:27against them.
18:29I can honestly say
18:31that
18:33I can say that
18:35I can beat the New Zealand team.
18:37We lost to that team.
18:39Earlier, we used to give excuses
18:41that the T20 series
18:43is over.
18:45We should give them a chance.
18:47But in my book,
18:49my experience is that
18:51condition doesn't matter much
18:53in white ball cricket.
18:55Your approach and maturity matter.
18:57How strong you are mentally
18:59and how strong your players are.
19:01You can adjust yourself everywhere.
19:03But our big team
19:05doesn't have any excuses.
19:07They don't have any kids.
19:09I think that
19:11our team
19:13didn't get promoted
19:15in New Zealand.
19:17They have been playing in New Zealand
19:19all their lives.
19:21We are not able to win
19:23the series.
19:25The reason is that
19:27we didn't plan
19:29and didn't think about
19:31our team and how to play cricket.
19:33We are a scared and selfish team.
19:35You can say that
19:37we are not able to win
19:39and play well.
19:41Naseem Shah is not able to play
19:43because of an injury.
19:45He has a concussion.
19:47He has no idea.
19:49This is our situation.
19:51This is our situation.
19:53Tell me one thing.
19:55We used to feel confident
19:57that Babar Azam always runs
19:59against C and D teams.
20:01This is also a problem.
20:05In this team,
20:07Babar has scored
20:09270 runs in the first match.
20:11Otherwise,
20:13he would have scored 200-150.
20:15Your batting line
20:17is on Babar's head.
20:19He has done it.
20:21He hasn't performed for a long time.
20:23If he does it,
20:25you can score 250-270.
20:27If he doesn't,
20:29we will be out.
20:31If he doesn't,
20:33we will be out.
20:35This is the reason
20:37we rely on one player.
20:39Thank you so much,
20:41Kamran Akmal was with us.
20:43We rely on one player.
20:45We run after individual performance.
20:47Overall, as a team,
20:49we have been playing bad cricket
20:51for a long time.
20:53We have to change it soon.
20:55This is it for today.
