00:00A lot of players have dropped after 2-3 matches, big players, but they weren't bigger than cricket.

00:06But unfortunately, our management has made these players bigger than cricket for the past 6-7 years.

00:12No one is going to ask, no one is going to drop, no one is going to do it.

00:16In every match, tell me, in any match, a player has been sitting out for the past 3-4 years.

00:22Exactly, that is...

00:23If a player sits out for a match, if a player sits out for a match, if a player sits out for a match,

00:29then these things will not only be better, but also worse.

00:32It is not good for them, and it is not good for Pakistan's cricket either.

00:35So, Najeeb, tell me, first of all, this death-balling, this is an art.

00:39But I feel that we have fewer artists, or they are clueless as to what to do on that occasion.

00:45So, what seems to be the problem, and this...

00:47You remember, when the T20 World Cup was taking place, and our performance was there,

00:51after that Mohsin Naqvi Sahib said that, bro, now there will be a surgery.

00:55And from that surgery till now, tell me, is this what we have compiled as a squad?

01:01Ashfaq, these are just things to be done.

01:03You know, when time passes, people forget.

01:08At that time, these things happen, whether we do surgery or not.

01:10Everyone's anger cools down in a few days.

01:13You said that our fast-balling is considered very deadly.

01:18There is a big difference in perception and reality.

01:21This is just a perception that our fast-balling is very good.

01:25Otherwise, you can pick any top team in the world and see,

01:28everyone's bowling is better than ours.

01:30We have a very toothless kind of one-dimensional bowling.

01:35The number of times we have been beaten in death-overs,

01:38we have lost three matches to New Zealand in 12 days.

01:41The same mistakes, 110 in one, 123 in another, 113 in another.

01:45This is our last bowling of 10 overs.

01:48So, we don't have any variation, no variety,

01:51nor can we get yorkers done, nothing.

01:54And there is no question of learning from mistakes.

01:57Today, Ashfaq, I am saying in your show,

02:00whenever Pakistan wins against a big team,

02:03and by big team, I mean India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand,

02:07then it will be a bad day for them.

02:09Now, no match-up is made with these teams.

02:12Okay.

02:13That means, there is no other option?

02:16Not at all. I don't think you can select a team

02:19that is equal to someone else and compete against them.

02:22When another team makes a big mistake,

02:24when they have a bad day, you will win that day.

02:27So, just pray for that.

02:28First, you do it to win for yourself,

02:30now you do it to play bad for the other team as well.
