00:00 I would like to welcome you and know that I feel that Pakistan team has made a lot of mistakes.
00:06 In the first match, they let Faheem Ashraub play, in the second match they let Sarfaraz play,
00:11 in the third match they let Shaheen play.
00:13 What kind of decisions are these? Do you think that the management has not made the right decisions at the right time?
00:18 Is this also a big reason for the defeat?
00:20 When you don't have a long term policy and if you don't have a short term policy,
00:26 then the decisions will be like this. Then you won't see any consistency in all your decisions.
00:31 And then the Pakistan team will suffer from it.
00:35 You see that they have kept Ibrahim in India for 45 days in the World Cup.
00:42 When your plan was not like this, you didn't want to let him play in the World Cup,
00:45 then you should have let him play first class cricket here in Pakistan,
00:48 so that he would be used to it if you let him play in Australia.
00:51 Because you had a major spinner on whom your team was depending.
00:55 So what was the end result of that?
00:57 After 50 days, you put a spinner in a direct 4-day match,
01:00 he got unfit and your whole series was lost.
01:04 Similarly, then your Akram Shahzad's decision was made, he got unfit.
01:08 Then you put Faheem Ashraub in the Pakistan team from no way.
01:12 He had no past performance in either batting or bowling.
01:15 He suffered.
01:17 So I think that the two batsmen of yours, Abdullah Shafiq and South Shaqeel,
01:22 were the ones who were being depended by the Pakistan team.
01:25 Their problem is that they play well in Asian conditions with low back-lift and bottom-hand.
01:31 But as soon as they go to hard-bouncy pitches,
01:34 their techniques are exposed.
01:38 So there are many things.
01:41 After that, you played in two test matches, you didn't put a spinner in it.
01:44 And then you sent Sajid Nawaz on Australia tour.
01:48 Although his performance in the last two years is not worth selecting him for T20 or World Cup.
01:54 But you sent him to play in the test match.
01:56 Then you sent Sajid Khan to play in the match.
01:59 Because he didn't have such a good exceptional performance in domestic.
02:02 So he was sent.
02:04 So I think that the short-term qualities of these players are lacking.
02:08 Okay, stay with us.
02:10 Yasir, you also stay with us.
02:11 A statement has come from Muhammad Hafeez,
02:13 he is saying that if Babar Azam needs help, he is there.
02:17 The question is, what if?
02:19 You are there, help him.
02:20 And he said that before dropping Babar Azam or giving him rest,
02:23 we have to think.
02:24 What did Muhammad Hafeez say?
02:25 Let's listen and talk about it.
02:28 T20 is not something we were looking for.
02:30 We didn't drop the catches, I believe.
02:32 We dropped the winning moments of the game.
02:34 If Babar feels that we can help him at any time,
02:38 in terms of technique or mental side,
02:41 then we are always there.
02:42 If he feels that he is doing things well,
02:45 and we also feel that, to be very honest,
02:47 the amount of hard work he puts in.
02:49 Shaheen was not given rest because of T20.
02:52 The load can be so heavy that he goes into injury zone.
02:55 I don't want to take a player to that zone where he gets injured.
02:58 Naseem was obviously injured.
03:00 We have Hamid Jamal instead of him.
03:02 This statement is understandable.
03:04 But when we meet Muhammad Hafeez,
03:05 we will definitely talk about it.
03:06 If Shaheen Shafridi has been given rest
03:08 under workload management,
03:10 then Babar Azam is continuously out of form.
03:12 Doesn't he need rest?
03:13 We will talk about it.
03:14 On the other side of the break.
03:15 Don't go anywhere.
03:16 Welcome back.
03:23 The statement that has been given by the coach is that
03:25 if Babar needs rest,
03:26 then we will have to think about it.
03:27 And if Babar needs help,
03:28 then we are here.
03:29 Yasser Hamid is with us.
03:31 Yasser, you were a batter yourself,
03:32 and you have been batting in top order.
03:34 Babar's performance in Test cricket was not good the whole year.
03:37 How he was making a picture of helplessness in the Asia Cup,
03:40 is in front of everyone.
03:41 His performance in the World Cup was not what we were expecting.
03:44 How big his batters in the Pai were performing.
03:47 No one has any doubt on Babar's temperament,
03:49 his skills, his class.
03:51 But isn't this bat patch getting too long?
03:53 If we talk about Babar's class,
04:00 then there is no doubt about it.
04:02 He has played very well,
04:05 but this patch has become a little long.
04:09 This is a little worrying.
04:11 The reason is that whenever Babar comes in to play,
04:15 there is no worry that he is getting worried,
04:19 or that he is nervous,
04:22 or his body language.
04:24 It feels like he is going to run.
04:28 The main reason for a bad form is that
04:35 when a person stops thinking about where he will come out of.
04:40 As a batsman, as a batter,
04:44 I am telling you what is the psyche of a batter.
04:46 He is conscious about the deliveries that are going to come out.
04:49 When a batter is in a good form,
04:53 he is conscious about the ball that is going to come out.
04:55 I will not slip,
04:57 I will play the ball that is inside the box,
04:59 I will not cross from the middle.
05:01 Naturally, these things are going on in your mind.
05:04 But when you have a bad patch,
05:06 or you are going through a bad time,
05:08 you don't know which ball you are going to come out of.
05:11 So this is a minor problem,
05:16 which he solves when he has to.
05:18 He makes time to go to the pitch and fight with himself.
05:22 The main thing is that you have to fight long.
05:24 You don't have to change the game quickly.
05:26 We have seen in the entire series of Babar,
05:29 that after 30, 40, 35, 32, 25,
05:33 when he changed the game,
05:35 or when he went to play a shot,
05:37 he would change the game and he would get out.
05:40 So I think he will come out of this bad patch at that time,
05:45 especially in test matches.
05:47 I will not talk about one day or T20,
05:49 in that you don't slip,
05:51 the pitches are very good, true pitches,
05:53 you get every shot.
05:55 But in test matches, where there are some challenging conditions,
05:58 there you have to hold yourself,
06:00 you have to fight long.
06:02 If we compare Babar with Virat,
06:05 because he is right up there,
06:08 we want him to become a player like that.
06:11 But if you look at Virat Kohli's innings,
06:14 whenever he is out of form or out of shot,
06:18 he does not move his bat away from his body at all.
06:20 Even if he has to play 70 balls and do 20 runs.
06:24 So this is a very long fight that Babar has to do.
06:27 You are absolutely right that the gap between the bat and the pad is increasing.
06:32 And because of that, it's been a year since the bad patch is not ending.
