00:00Babar Azam clearly showed poor intent, poor intent in the first game.

00:04But in the next couple of matches, we will know if intent is an issue with Pakistan or inherent ability.

00:11If it's ability, then that can't be easily resolved.

00:25Ashwin says, Babar's journey to 50 coupled with Salman Ali Agha's batting

00:29has to be the best depiction of the story of the tortoise and the rabbit.

00:34Ashwin says, Babar and Salman Ali Agha, who had such a high strike rate,

00:39and Babar, who had such a silo,

00:41say that they remember the famous story of the tortoise and the rabbit.

00:44It's a perfect match.

00:46Harsha Bogle says, you can say that batting was, maybe, tougher batting second,

00:51that it turned more, whatever.

00:54But I would imagine some very stern questions will be asked of the Pakistan top three.

00:58He is also saying that everything is fine.

01:00We should ask what the top three were doing.

01:02Can you show it ahead?

01:03Michael Vaughan says, that really was an old school style.

01:07Our commentators are tired of saying that.

01:09He says, I'm not playing today's cricket.

01:11He says, that really was an old school style chase by Pakistan.

01:14Left it far too late.

01:16New Zealand once again looked like real challengers.

01:19This is said by Michael Vaughan.

01:20And Ittasham Siddhi says, they quote Simon Dowell.

01:23It was wrong decision.

01:24The same thing.

01:25It was wrong decision to send Fakhar Zaman at number four.

01:28If you were aware, he can't be able to run.

01:30So he can't criticize Babar Azam.

01:32He says, you can't criticize Babar,

01:35because you sent Fakhar to spoil Babar's game.

01:38This is his opinion.

01:39If Kamran Bhai wants to comment on this, he will do it.

01:41Another commenter says, quoting Babar's scores, 64 from 90 balls.

01:47A painful innings.

01:48This was said to me by some friends present at the stadium.

01:51It was a painful innings to watch.

01:53A painful innings to watch that increased the pressure on the team and his teammates.

01:57Great for the individual average and ranking,

01:59but not for the team's chance of victory.

02:02Simply not good enough that.

02:32It took 7-8 years for him to realize that we don't have that much ability.

02:38It wasn't like this before.

02:39This approach has come to the team.

02:41This selfish play and achieving your personal milestone.

02:47The result of that is that everyone is calling Pakistan's cricket like this.

02:51Because it's our fault.

02:53Our big decision-makers didn't give them a message.

02:56And this is not said by Basit Ali.

02:57It's only Kamran Amal's.

02:58Basit Ali has taken money to say this.

03:01And Kamran is on the agenda against such a player.

03:03And Shahid Ashmi is such a player.

03:05He is saying that Pakistan's team doesn't have that much ability.

03:09Because we have gone way back.

03:11We have gone 15 years back from the world's cricket.

03:14We didn't come in 2025.

03:16No, we went in 2070.

03:18Yes, we went way back.

03:21The type of cricket you are playing, the intent you can see,

03:24you are chasing 320.

03:26And on 10 overs, there are 2 on 21.

03:28There are 2 on 21.

03:29You didn't take a chance.

03:30You played Rohit Sharma today.

03:31He saw that there were 2 balls on the line.

03:33He hit it in front.

03:35So when will the Pakistan team learn these things?

03:38When will they do it?
