00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Hello, As-salamu alaykum, and welcome to The Pavilion.
00:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10 --coverage of the HBO PSL season 9.
00:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:14 National Stadium, Karachi.
00:16 Karachi Kings-- [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21 With me in The Pavilion, I've got four fantastic gentlemen
00:24 who've represented Pakistan and have served the game of cricket
00:27 really well.
00:28 I've got four former captains.
00:30 First up, I've got a very talented Azhar Ali.
00:34 Azhar, As-salamu alaykum.
00:35 And welcome.
00:36 Wa-alaykum as-salam.
00:37 Next up, an institutional thinker, as I say,
00:40 the professor of the game, a great all-rounder,
00:42 I've got Muhammad Hafeez.
00:43 Hafeez, As-salamu alaykum.
00:44 And welcome.
00:45 Wa-alaykum as-salam.
00:46 And the most successful test captain in Pakistan's test
00:49 cricket history, I have got Miss Baul Haq.
00:52 As-salamu alaykum, Miss Baul.
00:52 And welcome.
00:53 Wa-alaykum as-salam.
00:54 Thank you.
00:55 And back into The Pavilion is the sultan of swing,
00:59 the swinging sultan, the [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:02 As-salamu alaykum and welcome.
01:12 As-salamu alaykum.
01:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:14 I think Karachi Kings [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:23 Yeah, I suppose that was a big--
01:25 I mean--
01:25 Disappointment.
01:26 --disappointment.
01:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:29 Karachi match.
01:30 Karachi match, the biggest brand.
01:32 I hope it's easier for people to get into the stadium.
01:35 Maybe that's why.
01:36 I don't know.
01:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:38 Yeah, I think we can.
01:39 I think tomorrow we'll see a bigger turnout.
01:41 Inshallah.
01:42 I think, inshallah, tomorrow we'll see a bigger turnout.
01:44 But let's take a look at how this match went down.
01:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:55, Karachi Kings [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]--.
01:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:58, Karachi Kings-- [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]--.
02:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:07 Deploy there at 24 with 15.
02:26 A nice contribution by him as well to make sure
02:28 that they get to 165 for 5.
02:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:32, Alex Hales. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] right on top.
03:01 And that's what Islamabad United has always been hoping for,
03:03 is a big start from the top order, and 47 of 35
03:07 for Alex Hales.
03:08 And Salman Agha there, 25 for 17,
03:09 closing the game with Shadab in the end.
03:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:13 Hasan Ali, of course--
03:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:30 Islamabad United-- [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:32 Islamabad United have very quietly creeped up
03:58 to the fourth position.
04:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:01 Karachi Kings slide down four, play two, one, two, loss,
04:07 and are at the fifth position.
04:08 And Lahore Columbus, but the [INAUDIBLE]
04:10 bottom of the table defending champions.
04:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:13 Let's just start off with--
04:19 what about that pitch?
04:21 Yeah, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:27 Because [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:30 I thought [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:50 Every time in loss, this is the fourth game they're playing.
04:53 They won two, they lost two Karachi.
04:55 They're relying on Pollard every time.
04:57 He was 48 of 28.
04:58 And of course, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:00 You see, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:38 So you think there was lack of application from the Karachi
05:41 Kings batsmen, Hafeez?
05:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:47 They can dodge ball is becoming one of the bigger issue for them.
05:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:56 I can understand 25 to 30 is a normal practice.
06:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:14 They couldn't get that momentum at any stage of the game.
06:17 Yes, they wanted to get maybe 180.
06:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:21 But you know, it was a poor show from Karachi.
06:29 Yeah.
06:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:32 What did you think?
06:34 I think both captains made some mistakes here today,
06:37 strategically.
06:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:40 Sorry to cut you.
06:59 As a bowler, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:07 Doesn't matter the situation.
07:08 Yes.
07:08 It should be the mindset.
07:10 Yes.
07:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:12 But Nisbha got easier wickets, no?
07:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:23 You should back yourself.
07:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:12 Could have been bowled two overs.
08:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:39 I think credit should be given to Monroe and Hales.
08:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:50 They're just in a very difficult pitch.
08:54 They batted really well.
08:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:56 There were some other batsmen [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:30 I think, again, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:03 I think, again, sometimes, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:16 So you think that has to improve now.
10:28 It doesn't matter how good the pitches are.
10:30 There's no point that you're playing in a way
10:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:34 Yes, I can understand [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:37 You are the main responsible person to take the game on.
10:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:06 Yeah.
11:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:24 Right.
11:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:41 Shoaib is a very experienced player.
11:53 He's the main middle order batter.
11:55 His strike rate is also 123.
11:57 Right.
11:58 So he has experience on pitches like this.
12:00 He's one of the best players we have against Pid.
12:03 So Karachi needs him to get runs with good pace.
12:07 And that's what happening.
12:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:44 We're going to take a break here on the pavilion.
13:09 When we come back, there's more about this game
13:11 on this side.
13:12 Stay with us.
13:13 Welcome back to the pavilion.
13:19 You're watching Esports Hour, continuing coverage
13:21 of the HBL PSL season 9.
13:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:24 In the pavilion with me, I've got Azraeli Muhammad Afeez,
13:32 Miss Paul Huck, and the great Wasim Akram.
13:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:44 And this pitch, he should have been much more difficult.
13:50 Yeah, absolutely.
13:51 That's his kind of pitch.
13:52 He's one of the most expensive bowler in this PSL so far.
13:55 I think he's conceded about 157 runs, average of 10 and 1/2.
14:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:05 Look at that.
14:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:14 He scored 70-something.
14:15 He spent time at the crease.
14:18 So that helped him.
14:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:29 I think he started well today.
14:32 His pace was up, 92, 90.
14:36 But a matchup, a strategical attack,
14:42 he said, OK, we have to out him from the game if we want to win.
14:46 Otherwise, it will be difficult.
14:48 That worked, basically.
14:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:29 Should it maybe-- it was a little too early to bring Shamsi on
15:45 against him?
15:46 No, I think they brought Malik for the right reason.
15:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:52 And then, obviously, it was too late, to be honest.
16:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:20 You can only win the game if you will take more wickets.
16:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:45 But obviously, they're two very experienced players.
16:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:56 Exactly.
17:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:22 Again, they've been having problems in the top order.
17:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:36 I think he should go out and play freely.
18:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:03 T20 cricket is all about look to score runs, enjoy your batting.
18:13 Obviously, be smart about it.
18:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:24 So they have to really get themselves out,
18:27 because this is a great kind of situation in the tournament.
18:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:59 Man, I missed you, man.
19:00 I so missed you.
19:01 I'm so glad you're back.
19:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:08 He wants to--
19:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:39 I think-- sorry.
19:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:01 There was hardly any real urgency or--
20:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:12 Then he will give you ball around the single.
20:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:27 He will ball him a made an over.
20:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:41 Then he will just try to just--
20:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:58 Seventh number, I don't understand.
21:13 Down the order.
21:14 I think there is a need to revisit the batting lineup.
21:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:19 But there should be then a plan.
21:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:38 But then now, let's talk about the Samba United batting.
21:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:44 Colin Monroe and Alex Hales [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:46 Totally taking it, absorbing the pressure,
21:52 and then actually delivering.
21:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:54 Now, this is Samba United strategy.
22:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:06 They are top heavy on the batting.
22:08 And they're expecting that the top will deliver the goods.
22:11 And then the rest can come into play.
22:14 And I think they got that today in their batting.
22:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:18 Yeah.
22:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:30 Now they have back.
22:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:39 I think that will be a massive advantage for them.
22:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:52 When you are full of confidence.
23:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:08 Basim, as Karachi Kings president, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:14 Hales also joined the party with Colin Monroe.
23:19 And [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:34 And yeah.
23:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:37 Which means that the wicket wasn't that easy.
23:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:47 President Karachi Kings, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:04 Yes.
24:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:13 Is your bowling lineup missing a right arm, wrist spinner,
24:16 leg spinner?
24:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:18 Because everybody has one, except Karachi.
24:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:23 And I was busy.
24:25 I was in Australia doing the draft.
24:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:39 Every team has a leg spinner, right hand leg spinner.
24:42 But Karachi.
24:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:44 It was excellent.
24:45 It was an excellent ball.
24:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:47 He's not, you know, clicking.
24:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:50 OK, it's not working.
24:55 But still, I'm an equality bowler.
24:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:06 Curator.
25:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:13 Very funny.
25:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:17 It's not a rocket science.
25:21 Sorry, sorry, sorry.
25:22 Just need good wickets.
25:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:53 He said, I would love to go to Pakistan
26:16 if somebody can invite me.
26:17 Wow.
26:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:21 PCB is this thing.
26:22 The new turbine is this thing.
26:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:47 What will be the gain of this PSL for you?
26:49 I don't know.
26:50 Yeah.
26:51 Because at the end of the day, you're developing your product.
26:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:07 Something for the bowler, something for the batter.
27:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:13 160, 170 is a good score.
27:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:20 I don't know.
27:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:29 With that, we're going to take a break right here
28:31 in the pavilion.
28:32 But when we come back, there's more on the other side.
28:33 Stay with us.

28:47 I've got Miss Fahad Haq and the great Wasim Akram.
28:49 And we're talking about the game that has just concluded
28:51 at the National Stadium in Karachi.
28:53 It was Karachi Kings versus Islamabad United.
28:55 Unfortunately, Kings losing this one, and United--
28:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:13 Trend.

29:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:18 [LAUGHTER]
29:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:20 They don't know who the prudent person is there.
29:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:48 He'd done exactly what you had told him not to do.
29:55 Opposite.
29:56 Opposite of everything that you had told him not to do.
29:58 Yep.
29:59 And the team lost the game.
30:00 I remember that one.
30:01 I was there on the ground.
30:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:09 Send us your questions, your comments on X,
30:22 formerly known as Twitter.
30:24 And we will be answering them right here in the pavilion.
30:27 Stay with us.
30:28 You're watching Esports.
30:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]
30:31 Welcome back to the pavilion.
30:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:36 Our continued coverage of the HBL PSL season 9.
30:39 With me in the pavilion, I've got four fantastic cricketing
30:42 minds, four former captains of Pakistan.
30:44 I've got Azhar Ali, Muhammad Hafeez, Miss Fahd Haq,
30:49 and the great Wasim Akram.
30:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:52 First up, Wasim, I have a question for you.
30:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:00 Dear Wasim, where were you?
31:08 Why did you disappear from the pavilion?
31:10 We missed you so much.
31:11 Where were you?
31:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:13 I had to go to Canada for three days
31:19 to charity events for Green Dome Islamic Public School,
31:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:25 So it's the finishing [INAUDIBLE] 21 classes,
31:33 two to four labs, and proper indoor cricket, basketball,
31:38 Friday prayers, wedding hall, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:42 kitchen, and state of the art.
31:44 [INAUDIBLE]
31:45 It's a school.
31:46 It's a curriculum.
31:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:48 All right, very well done.
31:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:00 What inspired you to win the first edition of PSL
32:12 after losing four matches?
32:14 Any advice for Lahore Columbus, what they can do differently
32:18 in the remaining four matches?
32:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:46 And the third thing, which was different--
32:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:02 Once, just get into the playoffs.
33:11 Mostly, Watson or Haddon, he about [INAUDIBLE]
33:16 Pool games doesn't matter.
33:19 It doesn't matter.
33:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:21 Once, just get into the last four.
33:24 And then you only have to win three games and game over.
33:29 That's what we did.
33:30 That's what we did.
33:31 We have to win the last two games, and then
33:33 the first eliminator, and then [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:39 And then the final.
33:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:42 Always, you need to be hopeful, number one.
33:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:54 Go back to the drawing board.
34:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:18 As a Karachi game fan, I have noticed something.
34:30 I want to share it with Karachi's President, Wasim Akram.
34:34 Yes, sir, you were here when Karachi played its first match
34:38 and lost.
34:39 You weren't here.
34:40 Karachi played two, and they won two.
34:43 You are here again, and Karachi has lost.
34:46 Do you see a pattern here?
34:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:03 Loser fella.
35:09 Loser fella.

35:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:27 Mustaaz 2050.
35:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:30 Don't you think Zamaan Khan should be captaining Pakistan
35:37 cricket team for the World Cup and also consider
35:40 dropping Babar Azam and Naseem Shah?
35:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:43 You asked for it, Wasim.
35:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:56 But it's a funny thing.
35:59 He's just made the joke back at you.
36:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
36:02 OK.
36:10 Fahad.
36:11 Fahad.
36:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
36:13 Who else besides Iftikhar Ahmed do you guys think
36:18 can play the finishing role for Pakistan moving into the World
36:21 Cup in June?
36:22 Any other names in this season that you guys are interested
36:25 in or you want to recommend?
36:26 I leave the floor open.
36:27 That's a good question because we've
36:28 been talking about middle order and finishers.
36:30 Gentlemen.
36:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
36:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
36:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:03 As a middle order batsman.
37:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:05 I think that concern will remain the same.
37:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:17 He should bat as a middle order batsman who can bowl,
37:20 not a bowler who can bat.
37:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:23 That will add a lot of value because of [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:29 and he can bowl two, three overs at any--
37:31 [INTERPOSING VOICES]
37:33 --is another one who can--
37:34 Why not Rizwan for a few games bat at that number?
37:39 Because Rizwan--
37:40 Three, middle order.
37:41 No, five, six because Rizwan used to bat at five, six.
37:43 And he--
37:44 Yeah, I remember.
37:45 So for sake of Pakistan, I know he's performing up top.
37:48 He's a senior player.
37:49 And he's been performing as an opener.
37:52 And you have to ask him first if he's
37:54 comfortable batting at five, six.
37:55 If he says no, then obviously you can't.
37:57 Yeah.
37:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
37:59 It is great to see Azraeli on the panel of the Pavilion.
38:13 It is a great choice.
38:14 He is a great analyst.
38:16 And he looks so good in every show.
38:19 Please give him my compliments.
38:21 And why don't you guys let him speak?
38:24 Why don't we let him speak?

43:10 plays during Test Series in Australia, but they're sleeping. And number two, how Mr.
43:16 Rafi's missed the flight after imposing fine on other players? Random question, but sure, we'll answer it.
43:21 That means you haven't slept the night before. - I don't know, but I witnessed like some of the players,
43:38 they were sleeping in a dressing room. - You were playing 11-B? Or just in general?
43:41 No, whoever is sitting, how come you can sleep in a dressing room? - You can't.
43:45 And you're getting a match. So that's what I came to know. Then I consulted everyone.
43:50 We decided like it will not be tolerated anymore. And then we said that whoever is sleeping on the ground,
43:57 like if we are here, then go, wake up and sleep. Like you can't. Because you have a professional life,
44:03 you have to be completely alert. So that was the reason. And I think if someone feels bad,
44:08 then it's okay, you can sleep. All the nation sleeps, you can sleep too.
44:11 I think that was a very good decision. - Yeah, it was.
44:13 This day and age is a professional sport. - And how did you miss your flight?
44:15 I'll come to that. I was the first one who was in the bus. I was the first one who got the boarding card.
44:22 I was the last one in a queue to get into the gate. Totally unaware of the rule that 10 minutes before
44:29 you need to get into that zone. - Okay.
44:32 I was totally unaware. So I was in a queue, they let it go to the other families,
44:39 then they stopped me and they said you get the next flight. So it wasn't I was late,
44:43 it was just one of the rules which I was totally unaware.
44:46 This was wrong in the news, obviously. And now I have a question.
44:49 No, no, there were very wrong things in the news. I was drinking coffee.
44:51 Yeah, I know. I know. - I don't know.
44:53 Thank God, you drank coffee. - But I have a question.
44:55 I think everyone will have this in their minds. Cricket loving, our cricket.
44:58 We are one sport nation, unfortunately. They love, we love our cricket.
45:02 How does, how difficult it is in Pakistan, not team, I'm talking about the squad.
45:09 There are a lot of people with you, right? - Yeah, yeah.
45:11 Staff, security, there are random people too. Why doesn't anything get hidden there?
45:18 What's the reason for that? - No, they were caught.
45:20 I'll tell you. - They were caught?
45:21 The bird that was flying around was caught. - Okay.
45:24 And there was a plan made for that too, but I couldn't get that much time.
45:29 But this is so sad. - I could resolve things.
45:31 In any sport in the world, it's not like your friends are telling them, "Play 11."
45:38 I don't know. - That's why you give the players an anonymous call.
45:40 That was a concern I spoke to many, many in front of everyone.
45:42 This is our family, we decide things among ourselves.
45:46 How does it go out? Like, it was fine, how did it go out? Who told you?
45:51 Who's the person? But you got to know who they were?
45:54 Those things become clear when you see on social media that some people are unconditionally supporting someone.
46:04 And then when you get such tweets and such information from those accounts,
46:10 you see a clear link that this give and take is going on here.
46:15 I even asked the dressing room, "Does the night watchman have a player's wish?"
46:22 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:23 You ask the person you're going to bat for, "Are you willing to have that night watchman?"
46:27 If he wants to, he'll give it to you. If he's not comfortable, we'll send him.
46:31 Absolutely. - That's also out.
46:33 That's embarrassing. - And I was like, "What is this?"
46:37 If I'm asking a person who's going to bat the next one,
46:40 and he'll also go out, that was not on.
46:42 But unfortunately, these bad things happen.
46:44 I think these players and whoever is there with the team,
46:48 Why do people do this?
46:50 First of all, if you're not trustworthy,
46:52 if you can't keep your team's secrets simple as a family,
46:57 and you are basically trying to be loyal to others who are sitting outside,
47:02 then I mean, what's next?
47:04 And to think that a person like that will give you a credit by writing about you, that's wrong.
47:08 It's a very simple math.
47:10 You perform, you get picked.
47:12 Absolutely.
47:14 Everyone thinks that everyone is stupid, but they won't understand.
47:18 Exactly. - They understand who's going where.
47:22 But that's it.
47:24 We immediately know who's tweeting for whom.
47:26 Yeah, yeah.
47:28 We immediately know who's tweeting for whom.
47:30 Alright, with that, I think we're going to conclude this.
47:34 We have so many more questions.
47:36 We've had a lot of questions today, but I think we're going to have to end up,
47:38 because time is up now.
47:40 But before we sign off, let's take a look at the leaderboard.
47:44 This is our leaderboard of the experts panel.
47:48 Ms. Maulhak with 10 points in the first position.
47:52 Wasim Akram with 8 points in the second position.
47:55 Azhar Ali with 8 points in the third position.
47:58 And Mohammed Hafeez with 5 points.
48:00 Just like Lahore Karandars, bottom of the table.
48:03 I don't understand.
48:04 Why did you do such a big injustice to me?
48:06 Why? What did I do?
48:08 I should have gotten at least 3 or 4 points today.
48:11 Why?
48:12 I picked the team that Hafeez picked.
48:14 I got only one point.
48:16 What's the big deal?
48:18 He's going to get 5 points.
48:20 My position is because of Lahore Karandars.
48:22 Bigger race, bigger game.
48:24 6 or 6-9.
48:26 I hope my position is the same with Karachi Kings.
48:28 I hope they win.
48:30 It's coming.
48:32 Alright, let's show you today's match.
48:34 This is the game coming up today.
48:36 I'm saying this because the date changed after 12.
48:38 Match number 16.
48:40 Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators.
48:43 This will be a great match.
48:45 Tomorrow evening at 7.
48:47 Sorry, this is National Stadium Lahore.
48:49 I swear, it's upside down.
48:51 Karachi is coming up.
48:53 It's a prediction.
48:55 They're saying it's at 12.
48:57 We'll be there at 5.
48:59 Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators.
49:01 He's saying it's at 12.
49:05 Alright folks, with that, gentlemen,
49:07 thank you very much.
49:09 Thank you Azhar, thank you Fiz, thank you Misma.
49:11 And Skip, great to have you back.
