00:00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:00:03 Hello, Assalam-o-Alaikum, and welcome to The Pavilion.
00:00:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:00:10 Continued coverage of the HBO PSL 9.
00:00:13 And what a fantastic PSL 9 it has been.
00:00:16 And now it's at the business end, just the last few games
00:00:20 before we head into the playoffs.
00:00:21 Joining me in The Pavilion, I've got four fantastic cricketing
00:00:24 minds, four former captains of Pakistan,
00:00:26 four outstanding individuals who I've
00:00:29 had the privilege of sharing this space with.
00:00:30 First up, I've got an opening batsman, part-time leg spinner,
00:00:33 Azra Ali.
00:00:34 Good morning, Assalam-o-Alaikum, and welcome.
00:00:35 Rather, good afternoon, Assalam-o-Alaikum,
00:00:36 and welcome, Azad.
00:00:37 Good morning, Sameer.
00:00:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:00:40 And next up, ladies and gentlemen, I've got--
00:00:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:00:57 With me, a great off spinner and a wonderful batsman,
00:01:02 I've got Muhammad Hafeez, the professor.
00:01:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:01:06 Next up, ladies and gentlemen, I've
00:01:08 got the most successful test captain in Pakistan's test
00:01:10 cricket history and one of the most successful carnivores
00:01:13 that we have on this planet.
00:01:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:01:16 I have the privilege, Miss Baulhak.
00:01:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:01:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:01:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:01:24 [LAUGHTER]
00:01:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:01:28 All right, and finally, folks, I have the man himself,
00:01:32 the mystery, the saga, the epic legend
00:01:38 that Pakistan has produced.
00:01:40 One of the finest left-arm fast bowlers.
00:01:42 Ladies and gentlemen, an all-rounder, par excellence,
00:01:44 gave us a lot of great memories throughout his cricketing days.
00:01:48 I've got the sultan of swing, the swinging sultan,
00:01:50 and the president of the Karachi Kings, Mr. Wasim Akram.
00:01:54 Good morning.
00:01:55 Good morning, good afternoon.
00:01:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:01:59 Very good, very fresh, Azhar.
00:02:00 Thank you.
00:02:01 Thank you.
00:02:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:02:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:02:22 I mean, in his defense, we finished to 130 last night.
00:02:26 No, we all did.
00:02:27 But why is he looking like that?
00:02:29 That is not his defense.
00:02:30 Come on, skip.
00:02:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:02:34 Very fresh.
00:02:34 Very fresh.
00:02:35 Fresh.
00:02:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:02:37 Very fresh.
00:02:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:02:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:02:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:03:09 All right, let's get down to the business of the HBL PSL 9.
00:03:12 And this is how it went down yesterday.
00:03:14 It was a great, thrilling game of cricket
00:03:16 that we had at the National Stadium in Karachi.
00:03:18 Karachi Kings taking on the Lahore Colunders.
00:03:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:03:24 Abdullah Shafiq innings, 55, was a good innings.
00:03:37 It's great to see Fakhar Zaman in the score.
00:03:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:03:42 He's now coming in with a very special appearance yesterday,
00:03:45 24 of 9.
00:03:46 And that actually proves to you that Karachi Kings' death
00:03:49 bowling was not the best.
00:03:51 And they, in fact, gave away about 15, 20 runs extra.
00:03:53 177 for 5 looked like a tedious, rather a daunting task
00:03:58 on this pitch that was laid out yesterday.
00:04:00 Zahid picking up 2 for 27.
00:04:02 Anwar Ali, 1 for 39.
00:04:03 And then Muzzahir Rabbani, 1 for 40.
00:04:06 Karachi Kings, in response, the game
00:04:09 went on to the very last delivery.
00:04:11 And Shoaib Malik, the finisher, finishing it off in style
00:04:14 with a boundary on the last delivery.
00:04:17 Vince there with 42 for 27.
00:04:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:04:20 Shahan Masood, I guess, finally realized
00:04:24 that it was in best interest of the team
00:04:26 for him to come down 1 down.
00:04:27 And he also then delivered a decent innings yesterday.
00:04:31 Saifuddin there to 36.
00:04:33 Niazi with a very special knock there.
00:04:35 And the fact that Niazi's knock is perhaps
00:04:38 the reason why Karachi Kings eventually won this game.
00:04:41 Tehiyab there, 2 for 23.
00:04:44 Sikandar Raza, 1 for 23.
00:04:45 Shaheen Shahavridhi, 1 for 37.
00:04:47 And Zaman, 1 for 41.
00:04:49 Karachi Kings winning this one by 3 wickets
00:04:52 and keeping their hopes alive in this HBL BSL 9.
00:04:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:04:58 This is how the points table is at this time and stage.
00:05:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:05:04 But look at what happens down the order.
00:05:05 Down the order, Islamabad United [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:05:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:05:12 Quetta Gladiators.
00:05:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:05:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:05:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:05:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:05:23 Now, that means Karachi Kings must win their next game,
00:05:26 which is against a very strong, qualified team,
00:05:29 Peshawar Zalmi.
00:05:30 They've got 8 points.
00:05:31 They can take those to 10 points.
00:05:32 And Islamabad United, if they lose their match today,
00:05:36 then that gives Karachi Kings the position to go up.
00:05:39 But for that, two things have to happen.
00:05:41 One, Islamabad United have to lose.
00:05:43 And Karachi Kings have to win their next game.
00:05:45 Quetta Gladiators also in the hunt.
00:05:48 The Halkalandars, the defending champions,
00:05:50 are already out of this tournament.
00:05:51 And that's how your points table is this morning.
00:05:54 Wasim, what a great game of cricket yesterday.
00:05:56 Yeah, excellent game of cricket.
00:05:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:02 I think 12 and over, 11 and over was [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:07 But I suppose in the end, experience matters.
00:06:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:12 Sensible [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:14 In the end, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:16 2-2 level, the score, 3-2 win, and they hit a boundary.
00:06:21 So the end, he was calm.
00:06:22 After [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:24 post-match interview [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:27 I was telling [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:31 Be calm.
00:06:32 Be focused.
00:06:33 Because what happens is [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:38 So [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:43 But Shoaib Malik being one of the most experienced players
00:06:46 in this format in the history of T20,
00:06:48 so he showed that he's still got it.
00:06:50 Yeah, it's a great effort.
00:06:53 But Mismal, good to see Fakhar Zaman in the runs yesterday.
00:06:56 Because [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] with the World Cup coming up,
00:07:00 and series as well before that, we were really concerned.
00:07:03 But good to see him in the score.
00:07:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:07 I think [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:10 Finally, he got runs.
00:07:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:15 He becomes very dangerous once he just
00:07:41 starts going after the balling.
00:07:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:46 I think good for Fakhar, but not good for Lahore Columbus.
00:08:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:08:05 Right.
00:08:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:08:09 But Hafeez, forget about Fakhar coming to form.
00:08:14 Abdullah Shafiq, what did Lahore Columbus do there?
00:08:17 Because [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] I don't understand this.
00:08:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:08:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:08:35 Obviously, they are not done yet.
00:08:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:08:38 Because franchise cricket is all about giving
00:08:57 the right opportunity to the player.
00:08:58 Right.
00:08:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:09:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:09:01 He likes to time the ball, keeping the good shape.
00:09:16 Right.
00:09:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:09:18 That is special.
00:09:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:09:30 Yeah, this is just very good.
00:09:37 But good to see him bat yesterday
00:09:40 and look really, really good.
00:09:42 Azhar, do you think Karachi Kings [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:09:48 Was there some bad calls in the bowling there?
00:09:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:09:53 Right.
00:09:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:09:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:10:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:11:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:11:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:11:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:11:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:11:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:11:40 Right.
00:11:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:11:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:11:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:12:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:12:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:12:28 Day in, day out.
00:12:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:12:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:12:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:12:57 How difficult is it for a bowler to bowl to his feet,
00:13:02 especially when you're now a professional,
00:13:04 when you're being paid to play cricket internationally
00:13:07 and in different leagues?
00:13:08 How difficult can it be?
00:13:09 It's not that easy as well, especially in this format.
00:13:13 Look, I only played five games of T20 form
00:13:16 when it started in 2003 for Hampshire.
00:13:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:13:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:13:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:13:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:13:41 Then you stick to your plan.
00:13:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:13:52 I support commitment.
00:13:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:13:54 Under pressure, execution [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:14:02 A lot of-- my wife, Shanira, but I was with the cricket
00:14:09 made, every commentator, every cricket lover,
00:14:14 they use that word, pressure.
00:14:17 But it's a very-- she said it's a very vague word.
00:14:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:14:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:14:34 Live in the present moment.
00:14:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:14:40 You are lost.
00:14:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:14:50 It means that you are not focusing on that particular
00:14:56 delivery, just [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:14:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:14:59 One ball at a time.
00:15:00 Yeah.
00:15:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15:11 It means [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15:12 So that might happen with Zamaan.
00:15:21 Yeah.
00:15:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15:23 Right.
00:15:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15:32 So how do you tackle with it?
00:15:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:53 Yeah.
00:16:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:16:57 So things you can't control--
00:17:11 Things you can't control--
00:17:12 Not control.
00:17:13 There's no point stressing about it.
00:17:14 Yes.
00:17:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:17:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:17:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:17:37 Look at my life after being married to you.
00:17:41 [INAUDIBLE]
00:17:42 That's not a very good advice, buddy.
00:17:45 I think it's the perfect advice.
00:17:48 We're going to take a break here.
00:17:50 We'll see you on the other side.
00:17:51 Stay with us.
00:17:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:17:54 Welcome back to the Pavilion.
00:18:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:18:03 Continue coverage of the HBL PSL 9 with me in the Pavilion.
00:18:06 I've got four fantastic cricketing minds with me.
00:18:08 I have Azhar Ali, Muhammad Hafeez, [INAUDIBLE]
00:18:10 and the great Wasim Akram.
00:18:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:18:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:18:14 Clashing with the tabletoppers, Multan, Sultans.
00:18:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:18:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:18:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:18:43 And that's how your two games are.
00:18:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:18:57 Head to Head, brought to you by Uphone.
00:19:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:19:03 This is Istanbul United versus Multan Sultans.
00:19:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:19:06 Last six matches, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:19:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:19:32 And that's your very dubious Head to Head
00:19:39 count brought to you by Uphone 4G.
00:19:41 That's-- see, that's really amazing, yeah?
00:19:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:19:46 Yeah, I know.
00:19:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:20:00 It's just a minor mistake.
00:20:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:20:03 All right, Wasim, Islamabad United,
00:20:10 must win game for them.
00:20:11 Must win, it's a very simple scenario for Islamabad United.
00:20:15 If they win, they qualify.
00:20:17 If they lose, they have to wait for the other results.
00:20:20 And that, as a team, you don't want
00:20:22 to be in that particular space, because then you
00:20:26 don't have things in control.
00:20:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:20:30 Pressure will be more on Islamabad than Multan,
00:20:33 because [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:20:35 And Quetta, or I think Peshawar, are behind them.
00:20:45 If they win both their games, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:20:47 they probably will finish up one or two.
00:20:49 So pressure on Multan is going to be a very exciting game,
00:20:53 in my opinion.
00:20:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:20:56 Not really.
00:20:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:20:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:20:59 Both Quetta and Peshawar are in position
00:21:01 to go above Multan in points level,
00:21:03 if they win their remaining games.
00:21:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:47 [LAUGHTER]
00:21:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:52 Absolutely.
00:21:54 [INAUDIBLE]
00:21:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:21:59 [LAUGHTER]
00:22:01 Ladies and gentlemen, we are having Sunday morning blues.
00:22:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:22:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:22:11 Miss, let me start with you.
00:22:13 Colin Monroe, right on top there.
00:22:15 Alex Sayles, right on top.
00:22:17 They've been glimpses of their outstanding ability,
00:22:21 but nothing concrete, no consistency in their performances this season.
00:22:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:22:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:22:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:22:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:22:58 But I think he needs to continue that, take a little bit more time.
00:23:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:23:26 I think it will be key.
00:23:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:23:28 But I think they need a little bit more responsibility.
00:23:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:23:38 Yeah, that makes sense.
00:23:45 But Azhar, Shadab brings in a lot of stability down the order.
00:23:49 I mean, bowling to him, but in the batting,
00:23:52 we've seen that he's still floating, but like Hafeez said,
00:23:56 he needs to define his position.
00:23:59 He is potentially a very solid middle order.
00:24:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:24:03 So I think his form is very good.
00:24:13 He needs to continue that.
00:24:14 It's a very important match.
00:24:16 To be honest, as a batter and as a bowler,
00:24:19 his tournament is going very well.
00:24:21 As a skipper, at times, his decision making,
00:24:26 especially under pressure, when he's bowling second,
00:24:29 it's not that good.
00:24:30 Even when he's bowling first, the team is caught,
00:24:33 and then in the end, the team gets 4 or 5 overs,
00:24:37 and scores a decent amount.
00:24:39 But as a batter, especially, his performance in this tournament
00:24:43 is very good.
00:24:44 He needs to continue that.
00:24:45 And he needs to fix his number one.
00:24:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:24:51 And I think condition no matter what,
00:24:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:25:00 So I think condition shouldn't matter.
00:25:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:25:06 Still, you have to define a role for certain bowlers.

00:25:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

00:26:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:26:36 I mean, we don't know, but just in case,

00:26:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:26:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:26:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

00:28:13 Great down the order for Istanbul United.
00:28:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:28:20 Somebody is always coming to the party.
00:28:27 Even Azam has delivered the goods.
00:28:29 That gives them a lot of strength, right?

00:32:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:32:27 All right, with that, we're going to take a break here.
00:32:33 But when we come back, there's more on the other side.
00:32:35 Stay with us, please.
00:32:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:32:37 Welcome back to the Brazilian.
00:32:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:32:47 SportsCenter coverage of the HBLPSL 9.
00:32:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:32:50 Islamabad United versus Multan Sultans.
00:32:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:32:56 I've got Azhar Ali.
00:33:00 I've got Mohamed Hafeez, Miss Fowlhuck,
00:33:02 and the great Wasim Akram.
00:33:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:33:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:33:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:33:16 But there's something going on there.
00:33:22 Is he in the transitional phase?
00:33:24 Could be.
00:33:25 Could be.
00:33:26 I'm not so sure.
00:33:27 He's a useful cricketer.
00:33:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:33:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:33:33 Maybe [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:33:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:33:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:33:45 So I suppose this shouldn't be the excuse at this level.
00:33:49 He's just not firing.
00:33:50 Yeah, and Hafeez, really good to see
00:33:53 that Naseem Shah has come back from injury
00:33:56 and is bowling wonderfully for Islamabad United.
00:33:58 Good news for Pakistan, not just for Islamabad United.
00:34:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:34:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:34:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:34:32 We're not feeling that he's hitting the right area.
00:34:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:34:35 Most impressive thing in his first over
00:34:56 is [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:34:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:34:58 Which is a great thing to see.
00:35:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:35:06 Andy, does anyone know an exact shoulder [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:35:21 I have no idea.
00:35:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:35:23 In front of the shoulder.
00:35:26 Yes.
00:35:27 Because I had a shoulder operation.
00:35:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:35:30 So there is apparently--
00:35:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:35:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:35:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:35:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:35:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:35:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:35:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:35:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:35:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:35:54 Nothing came out.
00:35:58 It was very painful.
00:35:59 And then I had an operation.
00:36:01 And they shaved off that--
00:36:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:36:03 It took me about four months to come back.
00:36:08 It's a very serious kind of operation for my shoulder.
00:36:12 And when you came back from that surgery--
00:36:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:36:15 How long did it take for you to get back to your express pace,
00:36:19 the way you were?
00:36:20 A very interesting thing happened.
00:36:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:36:23 But an interesting thing happened.
00:36:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:36:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:36:48 And then I started aiming about four foot--
00:36:51 three-- two foot keeper.
00:36:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:36:54 I think--
00:37:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:37:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:37:06 [LAUGHTER]
00:37:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:37:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:37:15 Especially in our culture.
00:37:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:37:36 Because we don't know--
00:37:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:37:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:37:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:37:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:37:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:37:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:37:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:38:04 Please explain that to us again.
00:38:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:38:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:38:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:38:26 Nobody bothered to check your fracture.
00:38:32 Unbelievable.
00:38:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:38:34 Everything is here.
00:38:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:38:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:38:54 Medical reform is the most important part
00:39:01 in Pakistan cricket.
00:39:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:39:03 OK.
00:39:07 Do we have qualified people for that particular job--
00:39:11 At the moment, we don't have.
00:39:12 --in Pakistan?
00:39:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:39:14 Sports rehab is very different than a normal rehab.
00:39:20 Absolutely.
00:39:21 I think, Wasim, probably the reason
00:39:23 why we would not really have somebody there
00:39:26 or we are lacking [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:39:28 All right.
00:39:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:39:43 Wow.
00:39:44 It's time for the numbers game brought to you by Sting.
00:39:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:39:49 And yeah, most wickets taken in HBL PSL 2024.
00:39:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:39:54 Lahore Columbus is right behind them with 52 wickets.
00:40:02 Zalmi with 50.
00:40:03 Samaj United with 49 wickets in eight games.
00:40:06 Guerra Gladiators with 45 wickets in seven games.
00:40:09 And Karachi Kings with 45 wickets in nine games.
00:40:12 And that's your numbers game brought to you by Sting.
00:40:16 Well, that really shows Multan Sultans have been doing
00:40:19 really well with their bowling.
00:40:20 But let me bring this conversation to you, Wasim,
00:40:23 that [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:40:24 And Muhammad Ali has been really good this HBL PSL night.
00:40:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:40:29 Yeah, I suppose maybe with different pitch
00:40:37 to use for confidence, home ground,
00:40:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:40:40 But experience, hopefully, he'll be better today.
00:40:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:40:46 But in Multan, he was fantastic.
00:40:54 He was consistent and very difficult to negotiate,
00:40:57 both with the new and the old ball.
00:40:59 But ever since he's left Multan, it
00:41:01 seems like [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:41:02 Conditions, pitches are a little better than Multan in a way.
00:41:08 Better in a way [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:41:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:41:12 Yeah.
00:41:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:41:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:41:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:41:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:41:38 It's not the same line that you see.
00:41:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:41:41 Lahore is a very difficult pitch,
00:41:56 especially for the fast bowlers.
00:41:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:42:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:42:27 But he needs to do that.
00:42:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:42:30 But Pindy, Lahore--
00:42:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:42:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:42:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:42:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:43:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:43:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:43:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:43:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:43:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:43:42 But like Mishpa said, he impressed us the most
00:43:56 with his length and consistency.
00:43:58 And that's his strength.
00:44:01 He should stick to it.
00:44:02 We see he's got an easy action, I mean, easy on the eyes.
00:44:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:44:06 Which also suggests it's very difficult
00:44:11 that he'll have any serious injury.
00:44:13 With that kind of an action, you kind of mitigate
00:44:16 all these other things come about.
00:44:18 We wish him all the best.
00:44:19 He's a great prospect for Pakistan.
00:44:21 But now let's talk about Osama Mir.
00:44:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:44:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:44:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:44:33 He was outstanding.
00:44:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:44:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:44:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:44:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:44:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:44:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45:21 99.
00:45:24 Normally--
00:45:25 So a lot of people--
00:45:27 OK, he's having a time of his life in this PSL.
00:45:29 Top of the wicket slider, no doubt.
00:45:31 Wicket-taking bowler in the mid-overs.
00:45:33 But the big question--
00:45:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45:35 He made a very impressive comeback.
00:45:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45:47 He looked like a totally different bowler.
00:45:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:46:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:46:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:46:16 I think he needs a little bit more time
00:46:28 to understand [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:46:30 Skills are there.
00:46:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:46:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:46:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:46:42 He was not feeling comfortable.
00:46:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:46:47 Pressure handle is also one of the talent.
00:46:51 Yeah.
00:46:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:46:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:46:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:47:07 Being a tall leg spinner--
00:47:12 Yeah.
00:47:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:47:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:47:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:47:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:47:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:47:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:47:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:47:59 Which I think really affected his bowling.
00:48:02 Confidence level [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:48:04 Now he's getting back there.
00:48:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:48:08 But I agree with you.
00:48:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:48:20 He used to hit the ball really hard.
00:48:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:48:27 So I think that is obviously [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:48:30 Especially his format.
00:48:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:48:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:48:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:48:45 Like a fast bowler--
00:48:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:48:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:48:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:49:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:49:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:49:18 That ship has sailed.
00:49:29 That ship has sailed.
00:49:30 [LAUGHTER]
00:49:31 But he needs to improve that because [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:49:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:49:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:49:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:49:44 Directly related to this area.
00:50:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:50:01 So then you're always there to move around.
00:50:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:50:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:50:08 Yeah, you can do that.
00:50:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:50:21 The last two seasons have been really good for him.
00:50:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:50:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:50:32 So definitely, he's getting better and better.
00:50:49 At least in the PSL, he's getting--
00:50:51 you can see that improvement.
00:50:52 And I think [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:50:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:50:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:50:58 Well, we've got Assam Amir with us right now.
00:51:23 Let's listen in.
00:51:24 And with that, it's time to take a break in the pavilion.
00:51:27 We'll see you on the other side.
00:51:28 Stay with us.
00:51:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:51:31 Welcome back to the pavilion.
00:51:39 And we're getting closer to the action.
00:51:41 With me in the pavilion, I've got Azraeli, Muhammad Afeez,
00:51:43 Mizfaul Haq, and Waseem Akram.
00:51:45 And Waseem, guess what?
00:51:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:51:47 Time for a pitch report brought to you by U4G.
00:51:50 Well, there you have the pitch report.
00:51:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:51:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:51:54 [LAUGHTER]
00:51:57 They said it feels better than the other pitches
00:52:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:52:01 Yeah, we have two monitors.
00:52:15 And both the monitors have different colors.
00:52:17 And that's very normal.
00:52:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:52:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:52:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:52:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:52:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:52:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:52:47 I think both the teams would like to bowl first.
00:52:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:52:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:53:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:53:06 How does that affect this?
00:53:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:53:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:53:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:53:29 All right, we've got the young Hunain Shah with us.
00:53:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:53:38 Well, there you have the young Hunain Shah.
00:53:40 We're looking forward to seeing him in action.
00:53:42 Today, the Samaj United bowlers are going to be against--
00:53:45 will be going pitted against some very good batting
00:53:48 by Multan Sultan.
00:53:49 You've got Rizwan there.
00:53:50 They probably will miss--
00:53:51 they did miss last game, Usman Khan.
00:53:53 I think he's not back yet.
00:53:55 So obviously, Milan [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:53:58 We're going to talk about that, but after this break.
00:54:01 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:54:03 Welcome back from the break.
00:54:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:54:11 And this is A Sports Hour, continuing coverage
00:54:13 of the HBL PSN 9.
00:54:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:54:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:54:16 But Hafeez, the Multan Sultan batting lineup,
00:54:33 I mean, you've got Rizwan up there.
00:54:36 You've got Riza Hendricks.
00:54:38 Then you've got the Ifti Mania factor that is available.
00:54:42 And then Usman Khan.
00:54:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:54:44 He's also back.
00:54:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:55:12 It's a good problem to have.
00:55:14 Yeah, absolutely.
00:55:15 You can understand that.
00:55:16 Because sometimes when teammates aren't doing well as a--
