Speaker: Sorry, we didn't have a video in the past few days.
Speaker: Our fans, all of our fans, we apologize because we got a little busy with everything.
Speaker: We have this idea that if we don't do a podcast, then Pakistan will probably win.
Speaker: Why, Sarmat?
Speaker: That's a real thing.
Speaker: I think that Pakistan cricket team is missing.
Speaker: They say, this is a wrong thing.
Speaker: So, as we have done the podcast, Pakistan has started to win.
Speaker: But it's been a story time.
Speaker: Two minutes of story time.
Speaker: I came to my house in Sydney.
Speaker: I came to my house.
Speaker: I came to my house.
Speaker: I came to my house.
Speaker: I came to my house.
Speaker: I came to my house.
Speaker: I came to my house.
Speaker: I came to my house.
Speaker: I came to my house.
Speaker: I came to my house.
Speaker: So we have to do many matches.
Speaker: So are you ready?
Speaker: I thought Sarmad came from the bedroom.
Speaker: I thought Sarmad probably made up for the podcast.
Speaker: But I saw and I said, Sarmad, are you okay?
Speaker: I said, I think I'm a little sick.
Speaker: And then he was actually very sick on a serious note.
Speaker: So then we said, let's take a break.
Speaker: Because Sarmad has been watching matches all night.
Speaker: Australia is a little late in matches.
Speaker: And he's been watching matches all night.
Speaker: Obviously there's a little fatigue.
Speaker: But now he's back and now he's ready.
Speaker: And now we are ready to jump back on the horse.
Speaker: I like that Pakistan cricket team is what has made me sick.
Speaker: I'm just going to put it out there.
Speaker: I think it's more of a stress sickness more than anything.
Speaker: Is that right?
Speaker: That's right.
Speaker: I think that is what it is.
Speaker: So Sarvat, we had the matches on Monday.
Speaker: Which match was on that day?
Speaker: Was it the India-New Zealand one?
Speaker: Yeah, it was a match of India and England.
Speaker: It was a game of India and England.
Speaker: India absolutely owned England by 100 runs.
Speaker: I think we can start off with that one.
Speaker: Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker: So India versus England.
Speaker: One of our top fans, Ankit, has mentioned that we have a scorecard.
Speaker: He told us that he has told us.
Speaker: Because people know the scorecard.
Speaker: And that's very good feedback.
Speaker: So thank you, Ankit.
Speaker: So I'm just going to say that India won by 100 runs.
Speaker: And they absolutely owned England, as Sarmad has described.
Speaker: Stars of the show, this time, unfortunately, this match has happened in this match that hasn't been in the whole World Cup.
Speaker: What is he?
Speaker: What is he?
Speaker: He won't win England?
Speaker: No, no.
Speaker: He won the World Cup in Virat Kohli.
Speaker: That's actually the first time this has happened this year.
Speaker: This is the first duck Virat Kohli has scored in the year 2023 that shows the man's consistency.
Speaker: And the fact that England still lost by 100 runs shows the depth in the Indian team.
Speaker: Their consistency as well.
Speaker: England has shown their consistency properly in these matches.
Speaker: But we'll go through the... I'll share a little bit of a story.
Speaker: When Virat Kohli came out, Barmi Army shared on our page a duck in the water with Kohli's face.
Speaker: It was an absolute domination.
Speaker: Starting from Rohit Sharma, then... Actually, starting from the toss, England actually won the toss, by the way.
Speaker: Yep, they did.
Speaker: England actually won the toss and they decided to field first on a wicket, which didn't look like it was easy.
Speaker: Actually, I would say this wicket was actually one of the...
Speaker: More interesting wickets, most result producing wickets that we've had.
Speaker: There was a little bit in the wicket for everyone.
Speaker: All kinds of ballers got something out of this wicket.
Speaker: Fast ballers got help, spinners got turn.
Speaker: This particular delivery that got rid of Joss Butler from Kuldeep Yadav.
Speaker: That was an absolute peach.
Speaker: um so some of the deliveries that we saw in this game it was really really nice to watch the game because we finally saw some contests between bat and ball predominantly the world cup has been dominated by batsmen this was the one game we saw that india batting first they only got 229 they didn't get away from england at any point and still india won by 100 runs meaning that the pressure was always on the indian bowling to restrict england's powerful uh power pack batting lineup
Speaker: But they only were able to get 129 runs against this brilliant bowling attack from India.
Speaker: Yet how brilliant is that attack?
Speaker: Honestly, looking at the scorecard, Mohamed Shami struck again.
Speaker: He was one short of a fiver.
Speaker: I mean... Consecutive fivers.
Speaker: Consecutive...
Speaker: Almost consecutive fivers.
Speaker: I mean, this guy has come out of nowhere.
Speaker: And he's just, you know, he's taking wickets left, right and center.
Speaker: He's told one.
Speaker: He's told one.
Speaker: He's told one.
Speaker: He's told one.
Speaker: Actually, hold on.
Speaker: One, two, three.
Speaker: Yeah, so out of the four wickets, three were bold.
Speaker: Top order batsmen Ben Stokes and Johnny Bairstow were
Speaker: And then he has a catcher, and then he has a catcher again.
Speaker: And then he has a baller again.
Speaker: So, who is operating at this point?
Speaker: This is a bit of a catcher.
Speaker: Yeah, honestly, the interesting fact is if you look at his World Cup record, you realize he's second or third on the list of all-time highest wicket takers for India.
Speaker: I think Zaheer Khan leads the pack, if I'm not wrong.
Speaker: But Paki, everybody has 20-plus games for the number of wickets that they've taken.
Speaker: Shami being second or third on the list and is only three or four wickets behind the top leader and he's only played 13 games I think in the World Cup.
Speaker: To pick up 40 odd wickets in 13 games in World Cup games is almost three wickets a game.
Speaker: So he's a big game bowler.
Speaker: I think he's a big stage performer.
Speaker: His four wickets, like the four wickets are not leaving, they are quality wickets.
Speaker: You know, David Milan, sorry, David Milan, Ben Stokes, you have to watch it.
Speaker: You have to watch all of nine deliveries that Ben Stokes has faced.
Speaker: I think all nine of them were from Shami.
Speaker: He bowled three in the over before he actually got him.
Speaker: And then in the next over, he bowled him five dots and then a six-month bowled him.
Speaker: You have to see where he lands the ball.
Speaker: There is consistent length bowling, constantly making him play outside, sometimes beating him on the outside edge, sometimes beating him on the inside edge.
Speaker: and Ben Stokes just shot out to air honestly that just shows frustration that is not a short of an international batsman who's playing in the team predominantly as a batsman even though he's an all-rounder he just made him look very uh
Speaker: Yeah, he made Ben Stokes look pretty average, is what I would say.
Speaker: So, Shami, absolute quality.
Speaker: But it's not just Shami, yaar.
Speaker: This attack is relentless.
Speaker: Jaspreet, Bumrah, and Saraj open the attack.
Speaker: Bumrah again picks up three.
Speaker: Shami comes in first chain, picks up four.
Speaker: Kuldeep Yadav comes in second chain, picks up two.
Speaker: And Jadeja is their fifth bowler.
Speaker: And Jadeja's economy is 2.28.
Speaker: That tells you a lot.
Speaker: A third change baller, the fifth baller in the squad is going for an economy of 2.2.
Speaker: Any team in the world would be lucky to have an attack.
Speaker: Jadeja is even a part of that attack.
Speaker: Absolutely.
Speaker: So it's just relentless quality.
Speaker: In my opinion, we've discussed our top 10 bowlers before.
Speaker: Kuldeep Yadav and Ravinder Jadeja are there.
Speaker: The only three bowlers that are not on my list are the remaining three Indian attack.
Speaker: Bumrah, Siraj and Shami.
Speaker: I'll wait for another, maybe a country where, you know, the pitches are a bit different just to see how good they are.
Speaker: Because the bowling attack is in England, it's okay.
Speaker: I didn't play in India.
Speaker: But Chris Wokes, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, you can never count them out.
Speaker: They are one of the best bowling attack in the world.
Speaker: They're having a terrible tournament.
Speaker: But these guys are full on pace, fully talented.
Speaker: It can't happen that it will operate in any other tournament or geographically in any other pitch.
Speaker: If it operates, it will go.
Speaker: Yeah, to be honest, if you think about it, I don't think there are ballers necessarily the ones that are failing.
Speaker: David Willey picked up three, only 45 runs.
Speaker: Wokes picked up two, 33 runs.
Speaker: Adalashid picked up two, 35 runs.
Speaker: Mark Woke picked up one for 46 runs.
Speaker: None of them have actually gone for more than six runs and over.
Speaker: In fact, Chris Wokes and Adalashid's economy is under four.
Speaker: I don't think it's the bowling that's the problem.
Speaker: I think the bowling is still delivering.
Speaker: They're not at their top form.
Speaker: I think bowling to an Indian batting attack is a different piece altogether anyway.
Speaker: They're probably the best batting lineup in this World Cup as well.
Speaker: But I think it's the batting.
Speaker: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker: You're right.
Speaker: I guess batting coupled with, you know, even if it's a
Speaker: if it's a bowling attack like india uh which is right now it's the strongest it's because their batting is the strongest and they complement each other that's why it's a team sport compliment i think yes i think that's the biggest thing the batting for example even if they put up 229 like in this game their bowling is like not a problem 229 is a lot of runs yeah
Speaker: You know, and it's this kind of a confidence on grounds and wickets like India.
Speaker: I do think conditions are suitable and favorable for bowling second time around.
Speaker: But then again, we've seen games where second time around batting is hard.
Speaker: What's dreadful to watch about this England side is the way they get out, is the way they lose their wickets, the approach.
Speaker: Like for a team that's talked about basketball and taking the game head on and being aggressive.
Speaker: Do you realize that there's only two batsmen from the last game that had their strike rates in 90s?
Speaker: Everybody else was under 60, 65 for that matter.
Speaker: Nobody else batted at more than a strike rate of 60.
Speaker: And there was only one batsman who got more than 20.
Speaker: And that's Liam Livingston who got 27 runs of 46 balls.
Speaker: His strike rate was 46.
Speaker: Like what I'm trying to say is sometimes there's a problem with the approach.
Speaker: And I think England's approach has not adapted well to the conditions they were playing in.
Speaker: Grounds in India where they're expected to dominate shorter boundaries, flatter wickets, for their batting to not click with all the resources at their disposal says a lot about their adaptability, their ability to...
Speaker: adapt to different conditions, adapt to different teams.
Speaker: If you're playing bilateral series or you're playing for a team, you have to play five match series.
Speaker: So if you're playing, you're better prepared.
Speaker: You know what their strengths and weaknesses are.
Speaker: I feel like this English team wants to play cricket their own way, but it's almost turning into a very casual approach.
Speaker: And again, it's quite shocking to see where England are.
Speaker: They're mathematically not out of this World Cup.
Speaker: But I think they just don't they just don't look like the England team That we've come to know since the 2019 World Cup.
Speaker: So they're not out of the World Cup yet.
Speaker: I Think mathematically they're not good sister.
Speaker: I think mathematically it's only Bangladesh that are out of it so far Okay, because I think Bangladesh has played seven matches and England has played six.
Speaker: Correct.
Speaker: Okay, so so mathematically only Bangladesh are the one that are out so far but we really bought that a
Speaker: How long will the matter?
Speaker: How long will it take until that happens?
Speaker: England have suffered such crushing defeats that coming back from that is going to be a Herculean task.
Speaker: It's almost an impossible task.
Speaker: I don't see it happening.
Speaker: They just don't look like a group that can win.
Speaker: I still see a lot of cracks in their approach.
Speaker: Even the Indian game, the way they approached the game, the way they lost their wickets.
Speaker: Ben Stokes' out, I think, is very monumental.
Speaker: The way Ben Stokes got out, his approach, the kind of shot he played, is just so monumental in explaining this England team's approach to this World Cup.
Speaker: It's extremely casual.
Speaker: They're not putting enough of a value on their wicket and they all expect that somebody's going to come good.
Speaker: That is an approach that works in T20s and one day it's just not going to work.
Speaker: It's not good enough.
Speaker: So it's actually been dreadful cricket from England, if anything else.
Speaker: And obviously India performed really well.
Speaker: Unbelievable.
Speaker: Unbelievable performance by the bowling side.
Speaker: Obviously, they had 229 points before a whole team all out.
Speaker: They had 129 runs.
Speaker: Be it that it has, you know, the England side, it's the downtrodden English side.
Speaker: But then we are getting an entire team all out in 34.5 overs on 129.
Speaker: That is also a feat that we should appreciate.
Speaker: Excellent bonus by Mohamed Chami.
Speaker: But I just want to point out one thing that was my favorite moment in the entire match was that short.
Speaker: What's that short call from Sky, Surya Kumar Yadav, the one at the back?
Speaker: Did you see that shot?
Speaker: I don't know which one you're referring to.
Speaker: Okay, it's all over the internet.
Speaker: I think it's called a flap.
Speaker: Wait a second.
Speaker: The one that he plays behind him?
Speaker: Behind him, yeah.
Speaker: The flap shot, is it?
Speaker: Is it called a flap shot?
Speaker: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker: I think it's basically a lap shot that he's hitting the lap behind him.
Speaker: He just lifts the ball from length behind him.
Speaker: Sorry, behind the leg.
Speaker: Okay, while you do that, I think there's another thing I'll point out.
Speaker: That is the Indian batting.
Speaker: So the difference is a lot of teams when they're struggling, runs are not getting, wickets are getting, they seem to give up and get bowled out.
Speaker: Like Pakistan, for example, getting bowled out in five out of six games.
Speaker: We didn't even bat the 50 overs.
Speaker: India lost their number, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Shrey Sire for single figure scores.
Speaker: They were 40 for three, you know, 26 for one, say 40 for three.
Speaker: Their middle order was gone.
Speaker: But then Rohit Sharma, somebody who's supposed to be the aggressor, played that smart innings.
Speaker: He said, I can bat differently as well.
Speaker: I don't have to take just the one approach.
Speaker: And that is something that a lot of teams lack.
Speaker: The change in approach.
Speaker: Sharma got 87, Rahul 39, Surya Kumar Yadav 49.
Speaker: But they all were patiently batting to make sure they play the long game.
Speaker: They play the 50 overs.
Speaker: They're not trying to rush things.
Speaker: And I think that particular approach seems to be lacking in teams like Pakistan and England or anybody else who's struggling for that matter.
Speaker: The ability to play the long game.
Speaker: And England sort of, sorry, India sort of showed you the value.
Speaker: If you're going to batting,
Speaker: And you put a score on the board.
Speaker: Every single run counts.
Speaker: And at the end of the day, the margin of defeat does not reflect, you know, as if this was a difficult game for India.
Speaker: It was actually a difficult game for India.
Speaker: It was not straightforward.
Speaker: But it's just that they trust the methods and plans that they put together.
Speaker: If you bat 50 overs, you put runs on the board, your bowling has enough.
Speaker: to make sure that the other team is troubled as well.
Speaker: I also think when you have confidence in your batting and they put up a low score, you start to have the self-belief that if our batsmen didn't run, they won't do their batsmen.
Speaker: It's just that you need to have that self-belief as a team.
Speaker: If our batsmen didn't run, they won't be with them.
Speaker: You have to trust each other.
Speaker: And then in this Indian team, I think something that I've said at the start of the World Cup, I said they're not cooked enough.
Speaker: You know, I've made that comment.
Speaker: They're cooked enough.
Speaker: They have not played enough cricket together.
Speaker: What I'm seeing in this World Cup so far is they seem to complement each other really well.
Speaker: I still think there could be something that hasn't shown itself so far, but that's probably starting to look like wishful thinking.
Speaker: Because India have been a powerhouse so far in this World Cup.
Speaker: They've put in complete performances with bat, ball and in the field.
Speaker: Absolute quality.
Speaker: Agreed.
Speaker: 100%.
Speaker: And I guess the whole world has watched this match.
Speaker: The whole world has watched Surya Kumar Yadav's shots.
Speaker: We've seen some incredible speed bowling from Mark Wood in the match.
Speaker: I think he bowled 154.
Speaker: Tell me about 154.
Speaker: Sarmad, you tell me about 154.
Speaker: If you're getting hit around the park, the ball that he had shot on the back, that shot shot on the back, that was a very, very fast ball.
Speaker: I think it was like 150 or something.
Speaker: Yet, I think we have to realize that again, if people are listening and they go back to the top 10 bolus wali jo maari videos hain, and you look at it, we talked about this fact that, there are two kinds of pace.
Speaker: One, from the release of your hand.
Speaker: You generate the ball from your body, from your shoulders.
Speaker: You release the ball at that pace.
Speaker: And then it depends on the pace of the deck, which is pace of the wicket.
Speaker: If you're playing in Australia, you can play the ball by playing it, it accelerates because the wicket is just helping quick ballers.
Speaker: You are playing in Perth, in Optus Stadium, why does the ball bounce?
Speaker: It is the same bowler, same pace, but it hits the deck and it sponges off.
Speaker: So he's difficult in those circumstances.
Speaker: When you're playing in India, the wicket ball actually slows down when it hits the wicket.
Speaker: So you have to remember that your ball gets slow, so the batsman doesn't face that ping of the bat.
Speaker: I'm surprised.
Speaker: That surprise element is taken out when you're playing in India.
Speaker: It's not going to shock you with base.
Speaker: There might be one or two wickets or stadiums in India where you might get that support.
Speaker: But on the kind of wicket they were playing in, there wasn't that.
Speaker: The wicket was just slow.
Speaker: So the quicker somebody bowls, the easier you find it.
Speaker: When the spinners or the medium pacers are bowling and the ball gets stuck in the wicket, you sometimes are through the shot and the ball has not arrived.
Speaker: And you can edge it, you can miss it, anything can happen.
Speaker: When you have got somebody who's bowling 150, that ball comes at a pretty decent pace on your bat.
Speaker: You can still properly place the ball.
Speaker: It is easier to hit through the line.
Speaker: It gets harder to hit through the line when the ball is holding up and it's not coming on.
Speaker: When somebody's bowling quick, it doesn't get stuck in the wicket that much and it just comes onto the bat that much nicer.
Speaker: So again...
Speaker: No, I haven't seen a single quick baller that has been super effective in this World Cup.
Speaker: Haris Rauf has continued with this tradition of going for 16 runs and over to begin his spell every single game.
Speaker: Because none of the quick ballers have realized that pace is just not the only solution.
Speaker: You've got to be smarter than that.
Speaker: And as good a baller as Mark Wood is, he's just not made the adjustment to the Indian conditions, is all I would say.
Speaker: All in all...
Speaker: england i don't know what the hell happened but this has been a dismal campaign it seems to be getting worse every by the minute uh and india again absolute domination for pakistan's sake i hope india wins every single game now and that just helps pakistan eventually because at the moment mathematically everybody is in it except for bangladesh yeah and on that note i think we should uh end it here the
Speaker: this Indian India versus England match was one of the you know one of the entertaining matches that we've seen so far especially thanks to Surya Kumar Yadav I just love the guy back yeah I can watch him back for hours I think I have done that before when I'm talking about it I don't have highlights so it's very important
Speaker: I just love him bad.
Speaker: I remember one time I saw Surya Kumar Yadav's interview.
Speaker: He was asking him, I'm not going to mimic him because I don't know how his accent is.
Speaker: I can't mimic his accent.
Speaker: But he said, where would you like to start?
Speaker: Number three, number four.
Speaker: He said, just play me.
Speaker: I want to play.
Speaker: If you play me on any number, I want to play.
Speaker: And boy, what did he play?
Speaker: I got to get to this number.
Speaker: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 49.
Speaker: I got to get to the 47 balls.
Speaker: 50 is not even gone.
Speaker: They are shooting shots behind the back.
Speaker: He was entertained the crowd.
Speaker: He was surprised when he reached 49.
Speaker: He was watching an image on Instagram on ICC.
Speaker: He was running a buggy.
Speaker: Moon Rover, Chand Ryan, in the field.
Speaker: He was laying on the screen and shot shot.
Speaker: He took a look and then he moved forward.
Speaker: And then he's like, I'm Batman.
Speaker: and then he stopped so that was cool he's a cool guy I really love Surya Kamaryath he is he is Sky is is is good for the game yeah he is and he's very positive which I love kind of like Rizwan yep yep
Speaker: I think cricket is good and positive.
Speaker: Yeah, I think it's a good time.
Speaker: It's a good time.
Speaker: It's a good time.
