Pakistan look different in behavior and professionalism
Beat to SA with good bowling stuff showed the criticism
worked
I am not afraid about critics but want to tell them i am new (kid), will learn support me, Sarfaraz
Pakistan Win the match against SA by 19 runs after D/L method
By Adrees Malik
The Critics of Pakistan Cricket team including myself feel
odd as Green Team behaved like professionals in thinking and in practical work
on the ground.
Everybody know and say all the time that Pakistan is un-predictable
and always showed themselves as dark horses, and again they did same against
ICC no 1 team South Africa in their 2nd pool match of ICC Champions
Trophy at Edgbaston Birmingham. This is the same ground and same conditions as
the match effected by rain and Pakistan won on DL method but the only
difference was its day and night match.
No doubt Pakistan cricket team looks different in the match
against South Africa and it was against the all odds set by the Pundits and
Gurus of the Cricket World.
Sarfaraz lost the toss and AB chose to bat first on spin
helping wicket. The match was against the set odds because South Africa has the
best bowlers in their side and the best batting side as well. Rabada ICC rank
no 1, Imran Tahir ICC rank no2, similarly Amla, De cock, Duplessi, and AB
himself are the best cricketing stars but the day was set to the green boys as
they performed very well in bowling and fielding (which they never be even
average).
Sarfaraz Ahmad who was shaky and did bad decision of Imad Waseem
use and Hafeez and Malik not to use properly against India has learned and use
Hafeez against SA with better planning but the major role in victory was the
Rain.
“I am Kid and in learning process, in translation of easy language
by a Pakistani Journalist”
Captain did a press conference after the match and the
sentence he used to elaborate himself most astonishing was “I am new and I am
learner please support me my critics” while a journalist asked about himself.
Sarfaraz Ahmad as captain in last five ODI’s 15, 5, 24, 26,
20 (90 runs with the average of 18). He has considered by most of the analyst
as strike rotator and busy man when on crease but he never hit six in any of
his inning in last 7 overs of the match as per stats, it mean he need to
improve in this area as well because now he is the captain of the Pakistan
Cricket team.
Pakistan lost to India and Sarfaraz claimed it was due to
rain because we cannot field and bowled properly but the winning against SA he forgot
the rain benefit and credited team bowling and fielding
Pakistan pace bowler Hassan was impressive again against SA
and took three wickets and declared man of the match while Junaid and immad Waseem
took two each, Captain praised him and other bowlers.
“Yesterday meetings made the things good, there were no
shouting and tension in the meeting, it was smooth and normal as we discussed
our week points found against India and coach told us not to repeat and
fortunately we did it this time and hopefully will continue in the next match
against Sri Lanka, Sarfaraz said.
Pakistan captain was lamented his team fielding and DL
method accuracy with the run rate as well but denied about to plan Zaman as
permanent opener and said its pre mature to consider like this.
“Our planning worked in this match which was failed against
India, we used both full time spinners Immad and Shadab as well as malik and
Hafeez accordingly and whereas the concerns of opening players, I think Zaman
is good because I knew him from Club cricket we both played in same club at
Karachi once upon a time but it’s premature to consider him permanent opener so
let see in future yes
Azhar Ali is good player but he need to stay longer like
in this match need with Fakhar” he said.
He also thanked the crowed who support well against South Africa
and his team effort to understand the DL method for better run rate and hope to
win against Sri Lanka as well as to boost the run rate.
On The other hand South Africa team management claimed it was the pitch who support Pakistan because it’s the third game on the same pitch and Pakistan Took the Advantage of the condition.
AB Devilliars is the best Cricketer but unfortunately its
first time happened to him to left the crease on Duck even in his ODI career,
but the management said he is still an excellent and his hamstring and niggle
is dealing well by the Medical team.
