Far less talk about Shaheen's spell. It is informative but not about his spell
Bha Jadeja ka semi final 2019 dekho aur fir bolo.. Jadeja apne prime me catch aur runout se 2 out kar deta tha .. Jadeja is best all rounder
We won this world cub because we did not depend on 2-3 guys ...almost All people contributed whenever needed .. and self belief was at another level .. and bumrah is GOAT without him , rohi , Kohli would never had won it
Plz compre position by position to semifinalist. And then you will know what is problem with pakistani cricketers
If Rizwan is made captain, he's more likely to do Da'wah to the opposition captain during the Tiss, that's why.
Dude in the glasses, you're gonna get whacked for slandering Chetan Sharma, watch it.
Hardik going to Mumbai is not Ethical. If he wants to leave GT he can do so but going into auction but not directly to Mumbai Indians directly. Ipl should be strict and shouldn’t encourage such acts anymore. Money can’t dictate everything.
Abdul Razzaq 2004 knock vs New Zealand and 2010 odi knock vs South africa century 🎉
Beggars can't be choosers 😂😂😂😂
Old heads of the world, unite! It makes for better cricket podcasting!! (sorry for being mildly ageist but Im sick of babar nibbas/nibbis ajjkal).
Another one in the league of Caught Behind ( which is still far ahead)
i think the comparison is unfair to both Akram and Bumrah............. arguments in favour of Akram: Akram contributed with the bat too, he is still type A diabetic........... arguments in favour of Bumrah: Akram never played t20Is, Bumrah lost 1 to 2 years because of COVID
I was watching with my family. When Saleem Malik got out, at 140/4 with 8 per over required, most had pretty much given up but my elder brother kept believing by pointing out that we were ahead of NZ at that stage, and had been throughout the chase. The fact that Miandad was still there was huge, though of course nobody anticipated what Inzi was about to do. Another distinct memory is that when NZ were forced to bring Deepak Patel back on, my brother went "Iss ko tou Miandad sambhaal le ga" and he promptly square cut the first ball for 4, and ended up scoring 8 runs in the over on his own. I think from NZ's perspective they missed a trick by not bowing Morrison to Inzi as soon as he came in. He'd bowled him out cheaply in the group match, and was the quickest bowler in their attack. Here they stuck with their medium pacers, who tbh had served them well throughout the tournament. But there was a sameness about them, which Inzi took full advantage of. Other random comments: Inzi, Aqib, and Mushtaq had toured Australia in 1989 for the U-19 World Cup. Aqib had played in two straight B&H tri-series in 1988/89 and 1989/90, the latter of which Mushtaq also played in. The core of this squad in general had a ton of experience playing cricket in Australia. The Inzi six off Harris was all the more remarkable as he hit it into the (extremely stiff) wind, and it almost didn't make it. The six Moin hit off Harris was his first six in international cricket. The team didn't have the 'poor chasers' tag attached to it at the time, that came later in the 90s, which ironically was as much a function of how we won the 92 final that batting first became the template for us and we eschewed chasing. But up until then our greatest ODI wins ever had come in run chases - Australasia Cup final in 1986, Nehru Cup semi-final and final in 1989, and then of course this match. Another hill I'll die on: people remember how unfair the rain rule was for South Africa or that Pakistan were lucky with the rained out game against England. But the Pak vs SA group match was extremely unfair on us. Chasing 212 we were 74/2 after 21.3 overs i.e. needed another 138 runs at 4.8 rpo. It rained, target was revised to 194 in 36 overs or 120 runs off 87 balls at 8.3 rpo. So they took away 14 overs while the target was only reduced by 18 runs. To their credit, Inzi and Imran gave it a good go, but ultimately fell short by 20 runs. I am fairly certain we would've won that game without the rain interruption. This result would have meant a) South Africa wouldn't have qualified for the semis b) the Pakistan v England group game would've been irrelevant.
39:30 one thing that makes sending inzi even more remarkable at the time was when malik got out Javed is signalling for the leftie to come bat but imran sent inzi anyway
Aap majboor ho hamare cricketers ki tareef karne ke ly. .. Umpire ne puri mehnat ki to see that the catch was legal., apki takleef samjhte hai hum. Social media pe catch ka video available hain jakar dekhe. Har waqt kuch foul play hi dhoondhte rahna.... How pathetic u ppl r.
Jude Bellingham in Euros final...whaatta a script
Just imagine the outcomes for many sporting prodigies, if like Inzamam, they complained of a stomach upset but they pulled out of a big match or occasion. Most likely he was having a fright of nerves and just decided to fight instead of flight!
The only time he showed up in a big match lol
@Osman @Ahmer You guys mentioning that before Moeen there was no Pakistani WK batsman that ever did well as a batsman to catch spotlight like Waseem Bari etc have forgot the unsung Saleem Yousuf who was a very good batter and was called "Tiger" by Imran because he used to bat without a helmet even against the West Indies fast bowlers. Saleem Yousuf most memorable innings was WC 1987 vs West Indies where he played the match winning knock from a loosing position to get Pakistan into a winning position finished off by Abdul Qadir
No doubt that Saleem Yousuf was a courageous batter but Moin's stats/peaks are comfortably above his in both formats as a batter.
My dad used to quote this inzi innings whenever I'd try to get out of going to school for an upset stomach. 😆
LEGEND
Boys, please keep uploading one video per week. Really enjoy it
batta fast one video/week = Pakistan top order scoring rapidly Both things are possible but improbable.
@@BattaFast sad but true. The analogy master has done it yet again
Please do Vedio on Javed Miandad Sharjah wali Austral Asia Cup
wese hi log humay bhudda keh rahy hain
Lovely show after quite some time
Sorry for calling you guys old heads...
JBH bro
If that is going to a series than Asad Shafique's 130 odd @Gabba should feature at some point
Absolutely loved it! You guys should do an episode on Inzi's 122 against India in Karachi. It was a truly epic knock!
i was there for it and to this day what stays with me in that match of crazy hitting was how serene Dravid and later Inzi's innings were. it was almost too sublime watching it form the stands couldn't truly see its scale
@@BattaFast Lucky you. There are so many memories from that series and that particular game. I was 9 years old and a newbie cricket fan. I was in complete awe of Inzi. That has to be the most exciting Indo-Pak ODI series ever.
Please do an episode on Kamran Akmal’s century vs India in Karachi 2005-06 when Pakistan was 39 for 6. Irfan Pathan’s hat-trick. Asif and Razzaq’s spells in the same match. So much to talk about
once rehan and i were asked, along with a panel of people from all over the world, to choose the best innings from the 21st century. Him and I were the only people to mention this knock and they got back to me asking to explain because they were like we didn't even know of this innings.
@@BattaFast hahaha this seems a good reason to do an episode on it and explain why you two chose it and why you two were the only ones who chose it
I watched it as an 11 year old. In islamabad. It was unbelievable . Still gives me goosebumps.
i was in class 4 and i had chickenpox which meant I was able to see the first part of the tournament including the ten wicket loss to west indies and become obsessed by this sport. steve waugh became my first ever cricket hero for bowling that last over against India
Great podcast. Absolutely loved the discussion around the hero of script wanted to remove himself from script all together. I know it's a tangential discussion but even in neutral terms this was an incredible match and it's insane how it never get's discussed in any of those "world's best ODI" lists cricinfo's does every few years.
At the start of this video i was like, don’t wanna hear again about that Inzi inning anymore. I am not interested as already heard about it 1000 of times, but 10 mins into the video i was totally hooked (i was in a haal of the mesmerising way both of you told the same story but in a different way).
this is the best comment
@@BattaFast thank you. Please talk about more of the greatest inning by Pak batters.
Lol at the end when Ahmer said actually I CAN imagine Imran feeling like a don after this hahaha
like we were all there for it
My first memory of cricket is : Ind vs pak, Pakistan needs 4 run in 1 ball to win, Inzy is on strike. Hits FOUR. As an indian kid , not knowing culture or politics at the time, i was mesmerized. Love at first sight with cricket. Great show again❤
After this comment, I searched for above mentioned inzy innings, 4 runs in 1 ball, couldn't find it. Maybe I have a slightly mistaken memory of that match. I think it was Sachin bowling him 3runs in 6 balls. In the end inzy Bhai scored winning runs on last ball.
I see 5 watching live. No wonder this channel is not growing. Credit goes to Ahmer who sucks all the energy in a conversation. Usman bhai start your own channel
Inzamam ka statement on Arshdeep isko discuss Karo shami kaise inzamam ka mazak uda sakta hai
Bumrah is like Wasim in the sense that they probably could play in even a crappy team and have the same success They don’t need a full team to create “pressure” or a bowling “partner” to make them successful These dudes can show up anywhere anytime and get what they want
Dude , there was no touch of boundary by Surya, check your source again properly, and check the different camera angels specially from side , it's pretty clear , so i request you to please done your homework thoroughly
WTF nail polish
The only reason in favour of Bumrah is that he bowls in an era where the pitches are way more batsmen friendly. Similarly, the handicap Wasim faced was lack of DRS - the question then is what which of these is a bigger factor in helping bowlers get wickets and would then determine who is a better bowler
Bhailogs, great pod. Poignant discussion. Loved it throughout
PKMB
You already admitted that overall, in 2024, Pakistan’s T 20 batting is sub par. Then how can they earn run a ball, against, currently best fielding and bowling attack of India with Bumeah, Hardik, and Arshdeep? That hope is nauve, and Imad Wasim sort of said that in his post match interview that how Pakistan was caged by Indian bowling in death overs. Losing to 2024 Indian team was destiny . Losing to USA was stupidity of decision making.
Umpire thoda mehnat krta.. This statement reflect your deeper biases.
Jassi jaise koi ni
Wasim vs Bumrah is akin to Nostalgia vs Recency Bias. I just feel like Wasim's peak (possibly assisted by the condition of the ball) was more lethal than Bumrah's peak.
Had Muhammad Asif wasn’t banned we never had this discussion
@azhariqbal12345 lol bhagta hua spinner fixer asif his odi bowling average is 33 and economy of 8 in t20 lol.
No Man . Wasim was on a different level. You might wanna wait till you make those comments.
Wasim sure is great but even he didn't played T20 bumrah do it in all 3 formats but ya if he can do this same performance then he surely will be undisputed goat
Kaun sa level tha Zara hme bhi btaye? 90' era me bowling krata tha bowling friendly wickets hua krti thi ye ni bolega tu lekin.... Aisa kaun sa skill Wasim Akram me tha Jo bumrah me ni vo bss bta de tu to hm Maan jayenge ki tu sahi keh rha h
Don’t think rohit and virat evolved due to competition. They evolved to win the tournament
Give some credit to Indian death bowling !!
