00:00 The situation of the game, the expert's opinion.
00:02 What's your take on this?
00:03 I would like to ask the expert one more thing.
00:06 Yes, of course.
00:08 Let's look at the last match of Pakistan and this match.
00:11 One thing is that you saw a reverse in these two matches.
00:14 I wish we could have seen this reverse earlier.
00:15 I don't understand if it's a matter of condition,
00:18 or an opponent,
00:20 or if it's because of the wickets,
00:22 or the atmosphere is such that the game is reversing.
00:25 If you want to say something else, say it.
00:27 No, I don't want to say anything.
00:28 I'm saying that it's a good thing that it's reversing.
00:30 I hope it happens in the next two matches as well.
00:32 When there are strong opponents,
00:34 and Junab-e-Faridh was a strong opponent as well,
00:36 then Pakistan will benefit.
00:37 As Kamran was saying, it's a big break.
00:41 The scores are good.
00:42 Your batters are complete.
00:45 They're not half-batters.
00:47 And out of these seven,
00:48 if we put aside Fakhar,
00:52 six are very strong in their spinners.
00:54 We're worried that their spinners can trap us.
00:57 There's not a big total.
00:58 I think you should be able to chase it.
01:01 But if you get trapped,
01:03 then it's a long story.
01:06 But we'll have to go to post-match.
01:08 It's true that the situation is under control.
01:11 -God willing, we'll win. -Yes.
01:12 As you said in the question,
01:15 it's a matter of conditions.
01:17 In some conditions,
01:18 the reverse swing is not suitable.
01:20 You know, how is your square?
01:23 How dry is the pitch?
01:25 How quickly are the balls scuffed up?
01:27 It depends on that.
01:28 In the last matches in Pakistan,
01:29 when the ball was reversed,
01:30 the conditions were such
01:32 that the reverse was better.
01:34 In wicket, there's a dry type.
01:36 There are a lot of dry balls.
01:37 -So, the ball is... -It's scuffed up.
01:38 -It's scuffed up. -The ball is scuffed up.
01:40 Yes.
01:41 In Bengaluru, it's a bit skitty.
01:42 The ball doesn't get scuffed up so quickly.
01:46 So, that's why one bounce throw on the spare.
01:49 All these things are common.
01:50 And then,
01:51 the mid-on, mid-off fielders
01:54 have to take care of the ball.
01:56 It's very important for them to keep the ball in a shine.
01:58 That's also a game awareness
02:00 which we can see today.
02:02 We can see it.
02:03 Basit, there's a smile on your face.
02:04 Are you thinking of something?
02:05 No, first of all,
02:06 the shine reminded me of the great Wasim Akram
02:08 who outed Muhammad Allah.
02:10 -Muhammad Allah. -Mahmood Allah.
02:12 -Mahmood Allah. -Yes.
02:14 So, I felt good.
02:15 Your ball was reversed.
02:17 And as far as the question is concerned,
02:21 the reverse is visible from two matches.
02:24 Before that, our fielders weren't shining.
02:26 Now, they're shining from two matches.
02:28 That's why the ball is being reversed.
02:30 This pitch is so smooth.
02:34 The ball is reversed in big places.
02:36 What I mean to say is,
02:37 the fielders weren't getting it.
02:39 After a minute, the ball would go out.
02:42 If it was with the fielders, then...
02:44 The ball is reversed where it goes out of the boundary.
02:49 -But... -It's more rough there.
02:51 It used to be like this.
02:53 -Not anymore. -It's not like that.
02:54 The main thing is the quality of batting.
02:58 The confidence of the batting team.
03:00 It makes a big difference.
03:01 When a big team like New Zealand or England comes,
03:04 -we'll see how good they are. -Yes, we'll see.
03:05 -And as far as the shine is concerned... -I want to say something.
03:07 -Yes, go ahead. -Thank you.
03:09 Thank you for your services.
03:14 No, I said it first because he said it too.
03:17 -That's why I said thank you. -No, I meant something else.
03:21 -Mahat understood. -I said thank you
03:23 -outside the program. -Really?
03:26 -I still don't understand. -You don't understand.
03:28 And Shaheen, we're talking about Shahafridi.
03:30 In one-day cricket, he became the fastest Pakistani
03:33 and the fastest fast bowler in the world.
03:34 Yes, it's a great achievement for Shaheen.
03:38 And Shaheen's entry in the form is very important for Pakistan.
03:42 What do you say?
03:42 I think, record-wise, I've seen it.
03:44 It's a great record.
03:45 I've missed Pakistani cricket 100 wickets.
03:49 It's amazing, but a lot of people talk about
03:52 which teams he played for,
03:55 but I think he made himself known in the world.
03:57 -He made himself known. -Yes.
03:58 The commentators, the players, Ricky Ponting,
04:01 they're all big names.
04:02 So, they've rated him a lot.
04:04 And apart from a few series,
04:09 he didn't create as much impact as he did before,
04:11 but he's a time-winner on every bowler.
04:12 But he showed how much potential he has.
04:16 Despite his bad form, he made a comeback in such a big event,
04:20 the five out against Australia,
04:22 you can say he made a comeback in the end.
04:24 He reversed the ball and made Pakistan come back.
04:28 So, he has all the potential to become a very...
04:30 What would you say about Kamran Shaheen?
04:32 First of all, congratulations.
04:34 100, it's a great achievement.
04:36 In 50 matches.
04:38 -Amazing. -Amazing.
04:39 So, it's a happy thing for Pakistan.
04:42 And let's continue this.
04:43 The performance is in front of everyone.
04:45 Be careful.
04:47 Don't expose yourself too much to franchise cricket.
04:50 Pakistan needs such bowlers.
04:52 So, take yourself accordingly.
04:54 He has to make big records.
04:55 He has to go close to great Wasim.
04:57 If he plays that much cricket,
04:59 -take yourself in that sense. -Absolutely right.
05:02 I think I'll second Kamran's comment.
05:04 Shaheen is very excited.
05:08 He's young.
05:09 He wants to play every cricket. He's fit too.
05:11 But in the end, it's important to take care of a fast bowler.
05:14 No matter how much you hold the peak,
05:16 no matter how much you feel,
05:18 you'll be under a lot of stress and load.
05:21 So, I think he has to play cricket very carefully.
05:24 He has a little elbow problem,
05:26 which is why he has to play continuously.
05:27 He plays by stopping,
05:29 but don't play too much,
05:31 so that you can make a difference in bowling.
05:34 -It's different, but it's not that hard. -And another thing is,
05:36 if you play too much,
05:37 people will get used to playing.
05:39 -Right. -You'll get used to tackling.
05:40 At the end, Basit Bhai,
05:41 who said earlier, take 4-5 wickets,
05:44 and then he'll get back in form.
05:45 So, he's getting back in rhythm.
05:47 After an injury,
05:50 it takes time to recover.
05:52 All our greats,
05:55 they also had problems after an injury.
05:57 So, it's good that they're doing well for Pakistan.
06:00 His mentor is his brother, Riaz Afridi,
06:02 who has coached him a lot from the start.
06:05 So, my advice is,
06:07 first, congratulations.
06:09 And listen to your mentor, his brother.
06:13 Don't listen to anyone else.
06:14 Focus on your cricket.
06:18 And as you said,
06:19 it's up to the franchisee's cricket,
06:22 what he thinks is better.
