00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Hello, welcome to the pavilion.
00:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:09 Continued coverage of the HBO PSL season 9.
00:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15 Let me bring into the conversation
00:28 three of my panelists.
00:29 I've got three fantastic cricketing minds,
00:31 cricketing brains with me in the pavilion.
00:33 First up, I've got Azhar Ali.
00:36 Azhar, welcome.
00:37 Thank you.
00:38 Next up, I've got the professor himself,
00:40 Mohammad Hafeez.
00:41 Hafeez, welcome.
00:42 Thank you.
00:43 And finally, Mr. Dependable himself, Captain Bismawul Haq.
00:46 Bismawul, welcome.
00:47 Good evening.
00:47 Thank you.
00:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:55 179 for the loss of eight wickets.
01:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:17 37th of 19 deliveries.
01:19 Babar Azam tried to play an anchor role,
01:22 but eventually got dismissed to Osama Mir.
01:25 Powell there with a powerful innings, 23 of 11 deliveries.
01:28 And Haris then contributing at the bottom with the 19 of 19.
01:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:33, one of the fastest half centuries in BSL history.
02:02 Yeah, that is now what you see on your screen, 52 of 25 balls
02:06 is the fastest 50 in Pakistan Super League history.
02:10 Yeah, that's really, really something special.
02:13 Yasir, 43 runs of 37.
02:16 Hendricks, 28 of 27.
02:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:19 But he couldn't finish it up for them today.
02:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:26 43 runs in four overs, a little expensive,
02:28 but picked up three wickets.
02:30 But that figure next up of Wood, that's
02:33 the special figure there.
02:34 That's the big impact on the bowling side for Peshawar
02:37 Zalvi.
02:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:39 Shah, 2 for 39 in four.
02:43 And Naveed Ul Haq, 2 for 44 in four.
02:45 And with that, Peshawar Zalvi [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:58 So congratulations to the Yellow Swan, Peshawar Zalvi.
03:01 Good job.
03:01 Well done to Captain Babar Azam, Darren Sammy,
03:04 and everybody in that camp.
03:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:07 At the bottom half of the table, but OK,
03:21 they've gone a little up down with three games, one win,
03:25 two losses.
03:26 They're sitting there with two points at number five.
03:28 Lahore Kalandars remain at the bottom of the table.
03:30 Remember, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:32 Lahore Kalandars are the defending champions up top.
03:34 Multan Sultans now four games, three wins, one loss,
03:38 six points.
03:39 Quetta Gladiators, three games, three wins, six points.
03:42 Islamabad United, three games, one win, two losses,
03:45 and two points.
03:46 Karachi Kings, two games, one win, one loss, and two points.
03:49 So that's how the points table is.
03:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:53 But congratulations to Peshawar Zalvi once again.
03:56 So that's how it has gone down.
03:58 Biswa, your initial thoughts on this situation.
04:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:03 The way they played the first three games,
04:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:21 Bowling, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:23 according to the plans.
04:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:31 Short of length game.
04:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:38 Easy boundary balls.
04:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:44 Success story against Sam Ayub or Babar.
04:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:59 Overall bowling performance, fielding.
05:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:07 160, around 160.
05:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:20 But I think, guys, Peshawar Zalmi,
05:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:25 Yeah, clearly.
05:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:33 He's made it very, very clear.
05:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:41 Overall, and good thing, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:45 Yeah, they're in the run now.
05:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:57 He's a great player, great potential.
05:58 We know that he is an impactful player.
06:01 But today, again, it seemed like he was not with it.
06:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:09 Was it the pitch was too difficult,
06:10 or was it the bowling was just too great?
06:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:46 -And today, Multan won. -Exactly.
06:48 Yesterday, Multan missed 4 catches, and he won.
06:50 Today, he missed 2 catches, and he won.
06:52 -I know. -It's something which
06:54 I am unable to understand.
06:55 And I regret that
06:57 mostly, in bad fielding, there is Pakistani play involved.
07:00 -True. -If I go to the other side now,
07:03 the way you spoke to me,
07:04 -regarding Saim. -Yes.
07:06 I felt that he took time today,
07:08 -I saw something good and better. -He wanted to settle.
07:10 He wanted to spend some time.
07:12 But sometimes, your favorite shot
07:16 can become your weakness.
07:17 This is his favorite shot.
07:18 He is out on this shot.
07:19 But I think he has to see that
07:22 just because of one shot, he is not able to play
07:26 his options well.
07:28 -He is out on this shot too. -Exactly.
07:30 I think that this shot,
07:31 in the last international series,
07:33 the New Zealand team
07:36 worked out and out him after the first match.
07:38 And here too, I am not saying that he shouldn't play this shot.
07:41 But he should focus on his range of shots.
07:44 He has a good potential.
07:46 He needs to prove a lot of things.
07:47 But the opportunities he is getting,
07:50 he should maximize them at the best time.
07:52 And in these shots, the more the pace,
07:56 -the more advantage you have. -It's better.
07:57 Because you feel good with the pace.
07:59 And when the pace is low,
08:01 you can't clear the boundary.
08:03 So I think that people...
08:04 And I think we should give credit to his field placement.
08:07 New Zealand has placed him
08:09 in a place where he can hit a shot in the gap.
08:11 If he hadn't hit a six,
08:14 he would have caught it.
08:15 So I think that if you start planning,
08:18 you have to evolve as a player.
08:20 -And you have to... -In tactics.
08:22 -You have to change your tactics. -In tactics.
08:24 Babar Azam played an anchor role in the beginning.
08:29 And then Haseeb Ullah joined him.
08:31 And then really went after the bowling.
08:33 So, a very good partnership between the two, Babar and Haseeb.
08:36 No doubt.
08:37 I think that the most impactful performance was Haseeb Ullah's.
08:40 Because he got his first match of the season.
08:44 He was promoted to number three.
08:46 Because last season, he played five and six.
08:48 -He played in the middle order. -Absolutely.
08:50 When he came in this season,
08:52 he played his shots with clarity.
08:56 I liked that.
08:57 He applied whatever came to his mind.
09:00 -Absolutely. -And this is how you play in T20 cricket.
09:03 If you have the day,
09:04 you have to clear your thought process.
09:07 So I think credit goes to him.
09:09 He's a youngster. He played good innings.
09:11 Babar contributed.
09:12 But Babar, we all wanted him to score more runs.
09:17 Because we've become used to it.
09:19 That Babar should score long runs.
09:21 But I think the shot was on.
09:23 Maybe he couldn't execute it well.
09:24 Yeah, he could have.
09:26 Let's talk about Mohammad Haris.
09:27 There's a lot of talk on social media about Mohammad Haris.
09:30 He's a great player for Pakistan.
09:32 He has a lot of chances.
09:34 He should play for Pakistan.
09:36 But today, Mohammad Haris had an opportunity.
09:39 He could have really gone out there, built big innings,
09:42 and given a very solid performance for his team.
09:44 Absolutely. He got time and played good balls.
09:47 But again, we're talking about the same thing.
09:51 He designed and practiced according to the power play.
09:57 In the first six overs, according to the two fielders,
10:01 when the field opens, you're not as effective.
10:05 For that, you need more matches and more experience.
10:10 It's totally different.
10:11 From the 7th over to the 20th over,
10:15 especially the 15th over, it's a totally different scenario.
10:19 There are different shots and gaps.
10:21 You have to play a completely different game.
10:24 He hasn't played much cricket there.
10:27 But today, he was a runner ball.
10:30 And when he went to attack, he got out.
10:34 It will take time for this role.
10:37 I think if you want to feed him,
10:41 you have to feed him as an opener.
10:43 Babar will have to come down.
10:45 Otherwise, I think you can't utilize his potential right now.
10:50 You'll put pressure on him.
10:53 He's not a hitter who can clear the spinner long on and long off.
10:57 I think he should bat in the circle.
10:59 If not, I think Haseeb Ullah is a better option
11:02 if you want to play on the 3rd or 4th over.
11:04 If he gets out on the 1st over, that's fine.
11:08 But if he doesn't get out and takes the 4th or 5th over,
11:10 then his role doesn't stay the same.
11:12 Haseeb Ullah has shown that he can play the spinner proactively.
11:15 He can also hit the fast bowler.
11:17 He has a reverse sweep and a slug sweep.
11:20 So, he has more options.
11:21 I think because of the left-right combination,
11:25 Sam Ayyub got out first and then Haseeb came.
11:29 I think if the right-hander had been out, he would have come.
11:33 He worked out this thing today.
11:36 And Zalmi got an advantage of the left-right combination.
11:39 The way Haseeb Ullah came and attacked the main bowlers.
11:42 - Yes. - And the most important thing was...
11:44 Iftikhar could have been dangerous if he had let him settle down.
11:50 He attacked Iftikhar in the 1st over.
11:53 - He got 17 runs. - He got 17 runs.
11:55 That was the defining moment of the game.
11:57 You get 17 runs at such a place
12:00 and then you see how crucial the score was.
12:02 - Milan also came down. - Yes.
12:04 For tactics, whatever reason.
12:06 I think as a captain, you have to lead from the top.
12:10 Sometimes you go up in the batting order.
12:12 But for the combination, you have to come down sometimes.
12:14 - Right. - So, I think you should do it sometimes.
12:18 I think Babur should also see this.
12:21 - If a player goes up... - But...
12:23 Unless they have a player to replace him.
12:25 But Babur also plays the same way.
12:29 If he is in the circle, he can also get the shots.
12:32 Babur has been playing one-day cricket for the past 6-7 years.
12:36 - Right. - And his rotation of strike is very good.
12:40 - That is true. - There is no question about it.
12:41 His ability to rotate the spinner.
12:44 He hits good shots on the mid-off and mid-on.
12:46 So, I think what Azhar is saying can be a very good option for this team.
12:51 Because Harish's best utilization can be open-air.
12:55 In his previous international career,
12:56 whenever he played in the middle order, he couldn't perform well.
12:59 The most impactful innings he can get is in the circle.
13:03 Because there are two open-air filters, a new ball,
13:06 a power play, and a perfect shot range.
13:08 - But the lower... You asked me yesterday... - Yes, in the middle order.
13:12 - What is the difference between the corner and the middle order. - Exactly.
13:14 So, we can see this difference in his game.
13:15 Whenever he comes down, he is not managing himself well.
13:19 Tactically, he doesn't have the requirements of the middle order.
13:23 - He is not well-equipped for that. - Ability.
13:25 So, I think if he does this,
13:28 he can change his tactics.
13:30 If Babar comes on the three,
13:32 if Harish opens with Saim,
13:35 his perfect composition will be set.
13:37 Alright, with that, we're going to take a break here.
13:39 But when we come back, there's more on the other side.
13:41 Stay with us.
13:42 Welcome back to The Pavilion. I'm Fakhran.
13:48 You're watching Sports Talk,
13:49 continuing coverage of the HBL PSL Season 9.
13:51 A while ago, in Multan,
13:53 the match between Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi reached its climax.
13:56 Peshawar Zalmi has won the match.
13:57 Congratulations to Peshawar Zalmi.
13:59 With me in The Pavilion, I've got three fantastic minds of cricket,
14:01 three former captains of Pakistan,
14:02 three people who have represented Pakistan really well.
14:04 I've got Azhar Ali,
14:07 I've got Muhammad Hafeez,
14:09 and Miss Paul Haq.
14:10 And Wasim Akram is travelling currently.
14:12 He's away. He's gone off to Canada.
14:14 He should be joining us back in a few days.
14:16 And we miss him for the time being.
14:18 Before we go on the break,
14:19 we were talking about Peshawar Zalmi's batting.
14:22 And you know, you can see the combinations.
14:26 Babar, you were saying that he can bring himself down the order
14:30 and then maybe put Muhammad Haris on top.
14:32 But let's talk about Multan Sultans' bowling today.
14:35 For them, of course,
14:37 and you keep saying great things about Muhammad Ali,
14:40 again, Muhammad Ali was the star bowler for them, even today.
14:45 Absolutely. I think he bowled very well.
14:47 First over, I think,
14:49 his length was a little short.
14:52 He was a quality batsman.
14:54 He hit a few boundaries, but...
14:57 As soon as he came to bowl,
15:00 he adjusted himself immediately.
15:02 And I think the other three overs were great.
15:06 And on the one hand,
15:09 it was Muhammad Ali or David Willey who stopped him.
15:13 On the other hand,
15:14 I don't think he was getting enough support.
15:17 The best thing, the best part,
15:19 is the consistency.
15:22 Game after game, the same consistency, the same lengths,
15:26 the same reputation,
15:30 he bowled well according to that.
15:32 And this is what I want to see,
15:34 that all the Pakistani bowlers,
15:36 there is not one game.
15:38 You have to go through that process again and again,
15:41 only then will you make a name for yourself.
15:43 Otherwise, in a match, you can bowl well.
15:46 - Correct. - It doesn't benefit the team.
15:50 You also said that he lives his life with great discipline.
15:54 He's very good in the nets, he gives his time to the nets,
15:56 and he's always ready for gym and always ready for more work.
15:59 He doesn't have a problem with workload.
16:02 No, the most important thing is
16:05 that when you have discipline,
16:07 we always say that everything has a discipline.
16:11 When do I have to bowl,
16:12 I have to recover completely.
16:15 And then, the most important thing is,
16:17 after bowling, you go to the gym,
16:19 - which is called repair work. - Right.
16:22 It's not that I've bowled today,
16:24 so I don't want to do anything. No.
16:26 The muscles that you've used,
16:28 I've seen Australians,
16:30 they go and repair them.
16:33 You're saying something very interesting.
16:35 If you guys can help our young people who are watching this,
16:38 to make them understand,
16:39 what exactly do you mean by repair work in the gym?
16:42 So, if they've used their shoulders, arms, and back for bowling,
16:46 what would be the repair work for that?
16:47 For that, you put a certain load on the muscles.
16:52 The lactic acid that's collected,
16:54 it's a fatigue, a soreness in the body.
16:56 - Right. - When you do that,
16:58 it releases,
17:00 and that makes your body normal,
17:03 and it relaxes completely,
17:05 and that tightness and soreness is gone.
17:08 And secondly, you build strength.
17:10 So, it's very important. What we do,
17:12 when we're tired, we think that
17:14 if we rest, we'll be fine again.
17:17 No. You have to recover from that.
17:20 To get out of that,
17:21 you have to do some activity,
17:23 and you'll be fine right away.
17:25 In the olden days,
17:27 like, Waseem Bhai, Waqar,
17:30 what they used to do,
17:32 when the day was over,
17:33 they'd do two or three rounds,
17:36 sweat themselves, and then stretch.
17:39 So that the lactic acid is removed from the body,
17:43 and the body relaxes after stretching.
17:46 All right. Today, during the match,
17:49 Aaron interviewed
17:51 the spin bowling coach of Multan Sultans.
17:54 - Assistant spin... - Assistant spin bowling coach.
17:57 He interviewed him,
17:58 and he told him that he did a great job on Usama Mir,
18:00 and he fixed his problems.
18:03 So, I was thinking that...
18:05 I mean, no other coach has ever seen
18:08 what problems Usama Mir has,
18:10 and he's the only one who's seen them,
18:11 and he's fixing them.
18:13 What is... I'm a little concerned and a little confused.
18:15 No, no, no, you don't have to be confused.
18:17 And sometimes you can understand what anyone is saying.
18:19 - Right. - As a coach,
18:21 a lot of people want to help you out,
18:23 but if you can understand what someone is saying,
18:24 the good thing is that he's bowling well.
18:26 - He's bowling well. - Okay, he's bowling well.
18:28 The thing I said,
18:29 two months ago, I worked with Saeed Ajmal.
18:33 Right from the first day when our camp started,
18:36 Saeed Ajmal identified his issues,
18:38 with the help of the analyst,
18:40 and showed him bowling videos.
18:42 He was told about the drills to improve his repeatable action.
18:45 He worked on that, then he went to Big Bash,
18:47 and worked on that.
18:48 Then when he joined Pakistan in New Zealand,
18:50 he worked on that.
18:52 He couldn't handle the pressure.
18:53 Look, there's a skill that you can see here.
18:55 - Yes. - Here, there's a pressure to play,
18:57 and when you play at an international level,
19:00 when you represent your country,
19:02 then the stakes of playing for Pakistan are very high.
19:06 - Very high. - Absolutely.
19:06 Because of that, I think the ability to handle pressure
19:10 is going to be enhanced.
19:12 Osama was always a good bowler.
19:13 In the last two years,
19:15 I think the advantage of the height of the leg spinner,
19:18 which Misbah mentioned, is always there.
19:21 - Right. - But whenever his right area hits,
19:24 he becomes more effective.
19:25 So if he...
19:27 If the assistant coach of Multan Sultan,
19:30 if he says he's improving,
19:32 then we are very happy that at least
19:34 something is working better for him,
19:36 and he comes forward as a better performer.
19:38 All right, sir, this is done.
19:40 We were talking about the bowling of Multan Sultan,
19:43 the batting of Peshawar Zalmi.
19:44 Now let's come to the batting of Multan Sultan.
19:46 First, let's talk about Yasir Khan.
19:48 Do you think it was a very convincing knock from Yasir Khan today?
19:51 I think he put a lot of pressure on the other batsmen.
19:55 I know he's a youngster.
19:57 He was allowed to come up today
19:59 because he had to use Milan in the middle overs.
20:03 And in the last two matches,
20:05 Milan got out very quickly.
20:07 I think it's more of a tactic
20:09 in terms of using him against leg spinner in the middle,
20:12 you know, left and right combination.
20:15 But Yasir didn't seem like he was playing T20.
20:19 It was almost like the feet movement wasn't that good.
20:22 And all the fours you saw, he hit them.
20:25 - Most of the bad deliveries... - Shot in the middle.
20:28 - Yes. - If he kept bowling forward,
20:30 he didn't get a single shot from above the mid-off or the cover.
20:35 If you look at all his boundaries,
20:38 you can see that he's been fed in his area.
20:40 He's been playing standing up
20:42 and he's been given a pull and cut.
20:44 That's what he's most shocked about.
20:45 I think that despite hitting so many boundaries,
20:50 he scored 43 on 37 runs.
20:53 - Yeah. - Which I think...
20:54 He has a footwork style.
20:56 He's also on your screen.
20:57 Azhar Misbah, you can comment on this as well.
20:59 Look at this.
21:01 - The way he was bowling forward. - Yes.
21:03 We could see that if you look at his feet,
21:06 they're exactly the same.
21:08 Even if it's a back-footed ball,
21:10 his back foot isn't moving and if it's a forward ball,
21:11 his front foot isn't moving either.
21:13 Look at this.
21:14 You can't see that his foot is moving towards the ball.
21:19 - Right. - I think in that case,
21:21 if you keep bowling in a good line,
21:22 he was trying to short-pitch me and get me to move my hands.
21:27 That's what he was trying to get runs on.
21:28 The most important thing Azhar said,
21:31 you saw that even if it's a back-footed ball,
21:34 in the process, when the ball is about to land,
21:37 instead of moving your back foot,
21:40 your front foot is moving forward.
21:42 - Right. - It means that
21:43 as long as your front foot settles down and lands,
21:46 you have the ball and you have to play it.
21:49 - Right. - Either you have it first,
21:50 like Babur does,
21:51 and then you can release your back foot
21:53 and play a short at the back foot.
21:56 And if you want to go forward,
21:58 then you have to go to a place where the ball is at the length
22:01 of your front foot and play a short at that place.
22:05 So, they should improve.
22:07 And as far as I know them,
22:11 they play with intent and attack.
22:13 Maybe it was their first opportunity,
22:15 - they wanted to see how it went. - Right.
22:17 Otherwise, they play aggressively and attack.
22:20 They played a match with Zalmi.
22:22 It will suit Multan
22:24 that if they play in the opening role,
22:26 they can put off the pressure of the other batsmen
22:29 and utilize the first six overs.
22:32 I just want to say one thing.
22:34 - It's their third season. - Yes, sir.
22:37 - And still he is emerging. - Right.
22:39 They are emerging. They emerged a little today.
22:41 But I didn't understand that
22:42 the emerging category needs to settle down somewhere.
22:45 - I think so, yes. - Some players...
22:47 They played with Zalmi earlier.
22:48 Last year, they were in Quetta.
22:50 This time, they are in Multan.
22:52 And they are still in the emerging category.
22:55 And I don't understand this.
22:58 - I think it will settle down. - Yes, I think so.
23:00 I think there should be some thought into that whole thing.
23:03 Let's come to Mohammed Rizwan's dismissal.
23:06 Mohammed Rizwan's dismissal.
23:08 What do you think? What went down there in that...
23:11 I think the ball was there to hit.
23:13 It was just one of the ways to get out.
23:15 And the good thing for Multan, which they can take positively,
23:19 is that they have their warriors of the game,
23:22 who are mostly considered warriors for them,
23:24 Rizwan, who couldn't make any runs today.
23:27 Despite that, they were very close to winning the game.
23:29 They were chasing a big total,
23:31 which was basically overpowered runs in Multan.
23:35 The way they managed it there,
23:38 the batsmen later on were a positive sign for Multan.
23:41 But the ball was there, I believe.
23:42 But it was a wide ball, unfortunately.
23:44 - I think that was... - That was the...
23:47 - That was a weak point. - But it was there.
23:50 But the ball was there. I think this time,
23:53 he was better in position to play this ball.
23:55 Normally, he only uses his hands, not his legs.
23:57 But this time, he used his legs and bat, so he got an edge.
24:00 Sometimes it happens.
24:04 I think the ball didn't bounce as much as he expected.
24:10 The edge of the bat hit the ground.
24:13 So, sometimes it happens.
24:15 - You can't make runs every day. - That's true.
24:18 I'm more worried about whether he can play the entire tournament.
24:22 He even dived in the keeping today, which was a pain.
24:25 Actually, there's a famous interview with him.
24:31 He was asked if he acts.
24:33 You must remember that he acts 50-50.
24:35 Sometimes he acts, sometimes he's real.
24:37 It's not like that. He answered,
24:40 "How are the cramps?"
24:41 "You've recovered."
24:42 He said, "Sometimes it's acting, sometimes it's cramps."
24:45 So, we still see a lot of people...
24:48 - But it's happening continuously. - ...who are like,
24:50 "Which one is real and which one isn't?"
24:52 But whenever he gets cramps, he becomes the man of the match.
24:56 - Yes. - He got cramps against Sri Lanka.
24:58 He scored 100 runs and became the man of the match.
25:00 He was the highest-run chase in Pakistan.
25:02 He got cramps yesterday as well.
25:04 He won the match and became the man of the match.
25:05 - So, I think it's a good sign. - So, should the management
25:09 - dehydrate him? - Put a cramp on him.
25:11 Dehydrate him before batting so that he stays dehydrated.
25:13 Then send him in so that he gets cramps.
25:16 David Milan and Riza Hendricks.
25:18 A very important role both of them played today.
25:20 We spoke to David Milan about how he played
25:22 the best pitch of the century in the history of PSL.
25:25 I think it's only this season.
25:27 - I think it's only this season. - I don't think it's this season.
25:29 My apologies because the way the stats are written,
25:32 - I have the past... - The stats give a lot of misinformation.
25:35 - I'm sure. - That's right.
25:36 So, this season's...
25:37 Mazhar, if you could just correct that for us,
25:40 we'd really appreciate it.
25:41 Is it this season or is it overall season?
25:42 - It's this season. - This season.
25:44 All right. Thank you very much for that.
25:46 But a great annex. Let's bring it on the screen.
25:49 Gentlemen, the floor is open to comment on his batting.
25:51 We all know Milan.
25:53 He's a wonderful player of fast bowling.
25:56 He's an international product.
25:58 He's been a successful batsman from England.
26:01 Some of his balls were good at the start of the season.
26:04 The bowlers worked them out.
26:06 But the good thing we discussed earlier
26:08 is that Multan Sultan's management
26:10 changed his role with the right tactics
26:14 so that we send him to the emerging team.
26:17 And to keep the attacking zone of the leg spinner,
26:20 to make a left and right combination,
26:23 they brought him down.
26:24 And the response they had,
26:26 they didn't take it negatively.
26:28 They took it positively and played in their attacking zone.
26:31 So, that's a good thing for any good player
26:34 that it doesn't matter if you bring him down by one or two numbers.
26:36 I was about to say that he didn't feel any difference
26:39 in the middle order that there are two fielders outside.
26:41 The complete product doesn't matter.
26:43 He's played and has experience.
26:46 And I think it's because of him that the match went so far.
26:49 Otherwise, it was very difficult.
26:51 At that time, the run rate was almost 12.
26:56 And Riza Hendricks was struggling.
26:59 So, I think rightly he came and sensed it.
27:02 The boundary on one side was small.
27:04 Right from the start, he attacked the bowling boundaries.
27:07 And it was this inning that took him to the end.
27:10 I think a vital catch was also a small one
27:12 that could have been a huge loss for Jalmi.
27:17 But I think he cashed it.
27:19 And if his wicket hadn't gone out,
27:22 this match would have been over.
27:23 Absolutely.
27:25 But Luke Wood's bowling was amazing.
27:30 And today, his figures speak for themselves.
27:32 He has given 13 runs in four overs.
27:34 3.25 economy rate and picking up those two wickets.
27:37 And you often talk about 19th over.
27:40 19th over is very critical.
27:43 Today, he has given a very critical over.
27:45 But the first three overs he did in power play,
27:47 the area he hit, that was special to watch.
27:50 He didn't leak his runs by bowling in a good area.
27:55 The start that Jalmi needed for his bowling
27:58 so that he doesn't get many runs, he took it.
28:00 He took the main wicket out.
28:01 He made it a rizwan.
28:03 So, all these things worked for him.
28:05 And when you have a good day,
28:08 his first three overs were good.
28:11 And the 19th over, which was the crucial over of the game,
28:15 which was to cross the match.
28:18 - He did a great over there. - He gave one run.
28:19 - Very good. - He gave one run.
28:21 That was just a very special over.
28:22 He gave two runs. You can see it on your screen.
28:24 And he knew that it was a tail under.
28:27 He didn't want to bowl near the bat.
28:30 He hit the length.
28:31 He kept the gap between the bat and the ball longer.
28:36 He hit the length, so he couldn't even touch it.
28:38 Overall, he did a great performance this year.
28:41 Luke Wood in T20s this year.
28:43 37.2 overs.
28:45 13 wickets and 7.76 runs.
28:47 - That's great. - Sometimes,
28:49 when you have a good time,
28:51 you are bowling well.
28:53 And you have confidence,
28:54 you continue it and the team benefits.
28:57 What's the advantage of hitting the area?
28:59 Luke Wood has hit 14 dot balls.
29:01 David Willey has hit 13 dot balls.
29:03 Muhammad Ali has hit 10 dot balls.
29:05 They were pick of the bowlers today.
29:07 Everyone's economy rates are down.
29:09 Even if they hit the boundary,
29:10 - it doesn't look bad. - maximum they go to run a ball
29:14 or just overrun a ball.
29:15 Alright, folks. With that, we're going to take another break
29:17 right here in the Pavilion.
29:17 But when we come back, there's more on the other side.
29:19 Stay with us.
29:20 Welcome back to the Pavilion.
29:26 I'm Fakhr-e-Anam. You're watching SportsHour.
29:28 Continued coverage of the HBLPSL Season 9.
29:31 We have news from Multan.
29:33 Multan Sultan has lost his match against Peshawar Zalmi.
29:35 We were talking about that.
29:37 Before we go on the break,
29:40 we were talking about different things.
29:41 Let's talk about Abbas Afridi's bowling.
29:43 His performance today was...
29:45 It looked like he was having some issues.
29:48 What do you think?
29:49 He's off-color.
29:50 I think he has wickets in every match.
29:53 He played an important role.
29:54 He started with Multan Sultan.
29:57 He hit a fine leg at the start.
30:01 He hit a lot of boundary balls.
30:04 Even at the end, when he bowled,
30:06 the wickets were down.
30:09 He leaked a lot of runs.
30:11 And most of the balls were off-line.
30:15 There was no field.
30:17 He has suffered a lot.
30:20 I think he bowled the last over.
30:23 He bowled 15 or 16 runs.
30:26 It was Dhani's turn.
30:28 I don't know why.
30:29 Dhani had bowled 26 runs in three overs.
30:32 Rizwan preferred him.
30:37 I think Dhani should have bowled.
30:39 The main players of Lahore were playing in the previous game.
30:43 Dhani had bowled a good over.
30:46 He has bowled 26 runs in three overs.
30:50 It's not easy to play with a bowler who has a good pace.
30:55 I think he has bowled 48 runs in four overs.
31:01 He has hurt Multan's team.
31:06 - He's a great bowler. - He's getting back to his rhythm.
31:10 He looked determined. He got a big wicket.
31:14 But Abbas Abreedi was right.
31:18 We saw that in the last match as well.
31:19 He recovers in the last over.
31:21 Because the batsmen only hit.
31:23 He has to look at his economy.
31:26 You won't get a wicket every day.
31:28 You won't do well in the last over.
31:31 Dhani was looking much more like himself.
31:36 He was determined.
31:38 He was hurt that he bowled so low in the last two matches.
31:41 He bowled 17 runs in the last over.
31:46 He got a ball that was on the mid-off.
31:49 He bowled it in his mouth.
31:51 He bowled six runs.
31:53 I think that difference was evident in the end.
31:58 He lost the game.
32:01 He lost it. Let's talk about Multan Sultan's batting.
32:04 When Iftikhar came, I don't understand.
32:09 Hafeez, Misma, you guys tell me.
32:10 Iftikhar is the guy. He's the finisher. He's the big hitter.
32:13 Why didn't he come on strike?
32:15 He took a single on the first ball and went to the other end.
32:19 - What was going on there? - He was shouting.
32:21 He took two singles and struck twice.
32:24 Okay, Abbas can hit.
32:25 But still, he's the main hitter who won the last match by scoring 34 runs.
32:33 He was standing there and you were taking a chance from the other end.
32:37 You weren't letting him come forward.
32:40 He was playing one game and you were playing the other.
32:43 When Abbas took a shot on the mid-off,
32:46 Iftikhar was almost shouting.
32:50 He was probably saying, "Give me a strike. Why are you taking every ball?"
32:55 When he was out, Abbas didn't play a good game.
33:00 But sometimes you have to see
33:02 who has the most striking power.
33:09 And then I think, in the second-last over,
33:14 I didn't understand why he took a single on the fourth ball.
33:19 Iftikhar should have played another ball.
33:22 - Right. - Maybe on the last ball.
33:24 He took two singles and scored 22 runs.
33:28 - It was a pressure. - So that could have been a difference.
33:31 Hafeez, great to see.
33:32 Osama Mir contacted him twice to clear the rope.
33:36 Big success.
33:38 He has the hitting power. He can hit the ball hard.
33:42 - The ball was in his area. - Zul.
33:44 And both his shots were impactful.
33:48 The six runs he scored there changed the match.
33:54 And I think the third ball was there to hit.
33:57 - He couldn't... - I know.
33:58 He couldn't hit it well, maybe.
33:59 Or maybe he played it to the long boundary.
34:01 So he got up there.
34:02 But overall, if you look at the match,
34:04 this catch played a crucial role.
34:08 Because if this catch was a Pakistani filter,
34:11 - it would have been a disaster. - It would have been a sixer.
34:13 - But... - If this catch had been a sixer,
34:17 - it would have been a different match. - He won with six runs.
34:20 - That's the difference. - That's the difference.
34:22 If we could show this catch,
34:24 because you saw the owner of Multan Sultan,
34:28 he pointed to the camera and said it was a sixer.
34:32 And this should have been given a six.
34:33 And I think he was not very happy about it.
34:35 If we could show this on your screen, that was very...
34:38 - This is a boundary. - This is a boundary.
34:40 - These are boundaries. - A well-earned catch.
34:42 This is well-earned.
34:44 - What about Osama Mir? - This is a crucial catch.
34:47 - The catch by David Willey. - David Willey.
34:50 - David Willey's catch. - Yes.
34:52 He scored six runs.
34:53 - We are talking about the one he took from the outside. - Yes.
34:56 This was Osama Mir's catch.
34:57 This was also a good thing.
34:58 If he had taken a little more time,
35:00 - then this... - Or...
35:03 - A filter. - Or a filter.
35:05 That's right. A filter.
35:06 Let's see David Willey's catch.
35:08 We are showing it on your screen.
35:09 - Look at this. - I think that was the game.
35:13 - That was the game. - That was the game.
35:14 - But look at that. - That was the difference.
35:16 Look at the presence of mind. Oh, my goodness.
35:19 But this is a great catch.
35:20 You see such catches mostly in international leagues.
35:26 And this changes the match.
35:28 You see, a good effort
35:30 to control the catch here
35:34 and then...
35:36 There is an understanding of how much loop I should give the ball
35:39 and how to come back.
35:40 Here, it was checked again and again.
35:43 But I personally felt that it was a very right decision.
35:46 When he caught the ball again,
35:48 - his back foot was up. - His back foot was up.
35:50 One more thing. If you have heard,
35:51 we have heard it on Third Empire,
35:53 - even during the broadcast. - Benefit of doubt.
35:54 He said, "The benefit of the doubt will go to the fielding side."
35:58 This changes everything.
35:59 Normally, we hear that the batsman gets the ball.
36:01 But when the decision of fielding comes,
36:03 whether it's a boundary or a catch,
36:06 when there is a doubt,
36:07 then you have to trust the fielder.
36:09 And the benefit of doubt goes to the fielding team.
36:12 And I think we were sitting in the green room
36:14 and we were discussing that the catch will be given
36:16 because there is so much doubt.
36:17 - That there... - It's not difficult.
36:19 - Because... - You guys...
36:21 - We had fought for the point. - You guys...
36:23 - You guys... - You guys...
36:24 - You guys... - You guys...
36:25 - You guys... - You guys...
36:27 - You guys... - You guys...
36:29 Nothing else matters.
36:30 It comes down to the leader mode.
36:32 It's absolutely right.
36:33 You know, everyone feels that...
36:36 Everyone has the right to have their own opinion.
36:39 You know, Multan must be feeling
36:41 hard and bad, but there is a regulation for everyone.
36:43 - Absolutely. - When there is a doubt,
36:46 it's the umpire's job to give the fielding side.
36:48 - I think it's the effort. - I think it's the effort.
36:50 I think we should have got two points.
36:52 Absolutely. I think that was a fantastic goal.
36:55 And with that, we take a break.
36:58 We'll come back after the break with some packages.
37:00 And then, your favorite segment, #AskThePavilion.
37:04 You'll see it on your screen.
37:06 #AskThePavilion.
37:07 You can send your questions through @x,
37:09 formerly known as Twitter,
37:11 or through Facebook or Instagram.
37:13 You can tag me or anyone of them
37:15 and send them with the hashtag #AskThePavilion.
37:17 And we'll be answering your questions right here on live television.
37:21 Stay with us. You are watching Esports.
37:23 Welcome back to The Pavilion. I'm Fakhr-e-Alam.
37:29 You're watching Esports, our continued coverage of HBL PSL Season 9.
37:32 With me in The Pavilion, I've got Azhar Ali, Muhammad Hafeez,
37:35 and Miss Fahul Haq.
37:36 And just a moment ago, we have news from Multan.
37:38 Multan Sultan has lost his match against Peshawar Zalmi.
37:42 This is Peshawar Zalmi's first victory after six games.
37:44 A big gap, but congratulations to the Yellow Storm.
37:46 And let's start off with your questions in #AskThePavilion.
37:50 First question. Abdul Hadi.
37:52 Abdul Hadi. Your ex-handler is Abdul Hadi.
37:55 Mosey, eight.
37:56 What about Shoaib Malik for T20 World Cup?
37:58 He's experienced, has also played CPL over the years,
38:01 and a performer too.
38:02 Can be a perfect middle-order batsman.
38:04 #AskThePavilion, this is for all of you.
38:05 Gentlemen, comment.
38:07 Gentlemen, comment. All of you.
38:10 This question is for all of you.
38:11 I think no one wants to answer this.
38:13 This is a very strange thing.
38:14 Look, I think we should move on from everyone's opinion.
38:19 Shoaib has made a big contribution to Pakistan's cricket.
38:22 This is my opinion.
38:23 He shouldn't be blamed for not being able to play the World Cup.
38:27 But in my opinion, we have to keep moving on.
38:31 Alright, fair enough. We have to keep moving on.
38:33 Atiq Khosrow, your ex-handler is A,
38:37 your account is verified.
38:38 My question is for Muhammad Hafeez and Ms. Bahul Haq.
38:41 What do you think?
38:42 If a batter comes out to bat as an opener
38:45 and plays till the 15th, 16th over,
38:47 chasing a high total with a strike rate of 150, 160,
38:52 should he be criticized for not being able to finish the match?
38:55 That's a very interesting question.
38:59 It's not about playing at a strike rate of 150, 160 or 120.
39:04 No matter what situation you're in,
39:06 you might have to play at a strike rate of 80 and win the match.
39:10 Or you might have to play at a strike rate of 200
39:14 and not need to play at that time.
39:17 So, the strike rate is nothing to do with being slow or fast.
39:23 It's all about how you handle the situation
39:25 and how you can win the match.
39:27 No matter how long you spend there,
39:30 you have to win with an intent.
39:32 - That's right. - So, sometimes,
39:35 you'll see a lot of grafty innings.
39:37 Like, why did Raleigh Roseau win the Man of the Match yesterday?
39:40 He had 34 runs on 38 balls.
39:43 - Less than 100. - But it had an impact.
39:45 But he won the match with the holding of the knees.
39:49 Another important thing is that
39:51 if a person is playing at a strike rate of 160 or 150
39:55 and that's the requirement,
39:57 it's not possible for him to play risk-free cricket
40:00 and score so many strike rates.
40:02 He has to take chances.
40:04 And if he's out there, he's not playing alone.
40:07 You can't blame him alone.
40:09 Some people will continue and finish him.
40:13 That's right. Ali Sid, your question is from Ali.
40:17 Ali, actually. Ali Sid, your question is from Asif.
40:20 Big three players, the most tests in a year,
40:23 mostly amongst themselves.
40:25 While the rest of the teams play five to six tests a year.
40:29 Why would any player want to play only test cricket?
40:32 Like Yaser, for example.
40:34 Yaser, our border player.
40:36 When you can get more popularity, accolades and money playing T20s.
40:40 This is a big issue.
40:41 I gave a suggestion on this.
40:43 And I'll always say that
40:45 not only Pakistan, but the entire world
40:47 is getting disturbed by test cricket because of international leagues.
40:50 Just like the ICC is giving NUCs to international leagues
40:54 for the promotion of the game, which is absolutely right.
40:56 At the same time, to look after test cricket
40:59 and to encourage it even more,
41:01 players from all over the world should get a standard match fee.
41:05 - Good idea. - Because Australia's match fee is so high
41:08 that other countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh,
41:12 these countries don't even give 30% of their players.
41:18 So, this is a scenario that needs to be looked after.
41:21 By the ICC as well.
41:23 And the cricket boards should also bring red ball cricket as a priority.
41:27 And the match fee for test cricket,
41:31 or the incentives, or the central contract
41:34 should be given on the priority of red ball.
41:36 And I think there's one more thing.
41:38 It's not just about match fees.
41:40 The number of matches should also be decided.
41:43 - Everyone should get equal. - The best playing nations will play so many matches.
41:45 Very true.
41:46 Jawad Tukhai, your X handle is jawad_tukhai.
41:50 Your question is, will lack of batting, especially the lower middle order,
41:55 cost Team Quetta at a later stage of this PSL 2024 edition?
41:59 - It could be. - Yeah.
42:00 That was my concern in the last game they played.
42:03 And that's why I went to the other team even though I wanted to.
42:06 They managed to win.
42:08 But their 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 is a big question mark.
42:11 Whenever they will post a total,
42:14 - or they will have to chase, it can be difficult. - Chase is a big thing.
42:16 I think it's possible.
42:18 And if they have one option,
42:21 if they induct Sohail Khan,
42:22 he will be more experienced in bowling and he can bat a little.
42:26 - Right. - You won't find batsmen there.
42:29 But if the bowler is like that, he can play 15, 20, 25 runs.
42:33 Alright. Arfa Firozzeik.
42:37 Your verified account and X handle is arfa_says_.
42:42 She asked us, the question is for the entire panel,
42:45 how much they rate usage and importance of stats in cricket?
42:50 Aren't stats illusions?
42:52 Because cricket is the only sport in the world
42:54 where players play according to conditions
42:57 and stats never justify conditions.
43:00 - Very well asked. - Very valid question.
43:02 Very good question.
43:03 I always say that stats are the only information.
43:06 They give you information but they are not everything.
43:09 A lot of stats create illusions.
43:12 They mislead you.
43:15 That's why you don't play on stats.
43:18 You play on natural instinct.
43:20 So, it's a valid and good question
43:23 to play on the situation and condition of the game.
43:25 Let's take a second.
43:28 I have an observation about a player.
43:31 I have seen that he struggles against certain bowling.
43:35 Then I go to the stats also.
43:38 I see that I have seen in different conditions.
43:42 I will compare and analyse both of them.
43:46 If I use them, it will be fruitful.
43:49 Otherwise, if a batsman struggles against a left-arm spinner on spin pitch
43:55 and he comes out on flat pitch and that's his strength,
43:59 if he runs there, all your stats will be wasted.
44:03 - All your stats will be wasted. - All your stats will be wasted.
44:05 Arfa Feroz Zaheer is a journalist from Islamabad.
44:09 She works on sports and cricket.
44:11 Thank you. That's a very good question, Arfa.
44:13 We really appreciate it.
44:14 And with this, #AskThePavilion ends.
44:18 Let's take a look at our leaderboard
44:21 for the expert predictions.
44:23 The situation is that
44:24 Miss Maul Haq is leading with six points.
44:29 Right on top. How did this happen?
44:31 When did this happen? Why did this happen?
44:32 We will have to do a lot of research on this.
44:35 Hafeez and Azhar.
44:36 But Miss Maul Haq is leading at six.
44:39 Azhar Ali trailing at five.
44:41 Wasim Akram also with five points.
44:43 Baba Duffeez, you have truly proven to be a professor.
44:47 - A first predictor. - With three points.
44:49 - They say... - I will come.
44:51 - You will come. There will be a comeback. - I will come.
44:52 - There will be a comeback. - I will come.
44:54 This is great.
44:55 And the point that Wasim Akram got today,
44:57 - I am telling you... - What?
44:58 - Did he get it? - He got it.
44:59 - No, he didn't. - No, no.
45:01 - There will be a strike. - Yes, there will be a strike.
45:03 - Do whatever you want. - No.
45:04 I predicted Peshawar Zalmi and he said,
45:07 "No, no, do Multan Sultan."
45:08 - He had sent a message to our group. - He sent it later.
45:12 - On WhatsApp. - Before that, I had announced on TV
45:15 - that Peshawar Zalmi is for him. - He is the right president.
45:17 And then later he told me, "You are absolutely reasonable."
45:20 "You can predict on my behalf for the remaining days."
45:24 He had one more point than me and he got it.
45:26 - So he got the point today. - Where did he get it?
45:28 - It was above me. - He didn't get it.
45:29 He didn't give the point today.
45:31 He said, "Anna Vande Riaudia, Murmur Apne Kaal."
45:36 - Look, if this man... - Well done.
45:38 - The responsibility of the future... - Show the leaderboard again.
45:41 - Show the leaderboard again. - The responsibility of the future...
45:43 - Look again. Show the leaderboard. - ...is that he became a Murmur.
45:46 - Here is your leaderboard. - He didn't get the point.
45:48 And there you go.
45:50 There you go. Maseem Akram is on five.
45:52 And so is Azan Ali. Muhammad Hafeez on three.
45:54 And Bismawal Haq on six.
45:55 - That six on Bismawal Haq. - It's his wish. What can he say?
45:58 That's fine. I don't understand how Bismawal Haq got six.
46:00 No, he deserved to be there.
46:02 - He did a great job. - Today he said, "Multan Sultan."
46:05 - Today he said it wrong. - Everyone has won before him.
46:08 Two are coming. The rest have won.
46:10 - Today... - Learn to be proud of others' success.
46:13 I can never do that.
46:14 Learn to be proud of others' performances.
46:17 I do it. I'm extremely proud of every performance of Bismawal Haq.
46:20 - Don't do it when you eat. - I'm talking about eating.
46:22 They're asking if you have roti.
46:25 Four...
46:26 He actually has six tons of karahi.
46:30 You have six points.
46:31 - Alright. - It was fun at the start.
46:33 If you had roti, you could have written his number too.
46:36 "100."
46:37 - Then it was unmatched. - Unmatched.
46:39 Then I'm in a league of my own.
46:41 It's a real super league.
46:43 Special one.
46:44 We weren't on the bench, but it was fun.
46:46 We were eating and Usman brought food.
46:51 He came and saw Bismawal Haq.
46:54 He told him that he hadn't had breakfast.
46:56 He said, "I'll order some more roti."
47:00 When you called, he said he wasn't coming.
47:02 He said, "I'll cancel it."
47:05 - He didn't say anything funny. - It's okay.
47:07 - He didn't say anything funny. - I...
47:08 He cancelled it because you didn't come.
47:09 I didn't go to eat.
47:11 - I'm so... - He didn't eat.
47:14 I'm so disciplined that I didn't eat. I didn't have lunch.
47:17 He came and kept some roti.
47:18 One guy was eating ten rotis.
47:21 The other guy was eating ten rotis.
47:23 I said, "What's wrong? What do you think of us?"
47:25 "Do you think we're Jinn?"
47:27 "Eat two chukkas."
47:30 All right, boys.
47:31 Let's take a look at what we have tomorrow.
47:33 We've got a big game here on the HBL PSL 9.
