    52:00 What world is Rehan living in here? “Pakistan is obsessed with technique” WHAT?! You guys are so free range that you’ve been waiting for a headless chicken like Haider Ali to turn into AB de Villiers for the past 5 years 🤣. If you understood or enforced technique Haider wouldn’t have made past under-17. If you want to see what respecting technique looks like, listen to Indian comms critique their batters, where it seems every movement or lack thereof is meaningfully analyzed - kis ka sar kahan jaa raha tha woh kab drop hua phir wapis select honay ke baad foot kahan land ker raha hai and all that. Hamara tou ek hi commentator hai jo 25 saal se sirf “brilliant shot”, “magnificent hit”, “sensational innings” he karta raha hai. If Rehan thinks Pakistan is obsessed with technique, not sure what he’ll say about Indians.

In a way, it's a good sign that the ICC money is the highest revenue earner as it should be from the game's governing body but no matter what issues there might be, why tf would you not maximise the PSL which has, as that reporter said, saved your (halal) bacon in the past?

    I have always thought why our players don't have any association, they should be able to band together against the PCB and fight for the rights of all players, current, ex, or domestic players. However, the last few years has been an eye opener, it has revealed to me that in a society where moral corruption has permeates through the fabric of the society, players are no different, the last few years gave Bobsy authority without impunity, so I think more power to the players is not the way, associations should not be allowed to be created, these players don't need any more powers, they already have social media and their agents behind, and unfortunately the players that don't wield such power will be collateral damage.

    • @Anday-wala-bunkabab
      @Anday-wala-bunkabab 6 дней назад

      Regarding the central contracts being revised, couple of things, firstly I agree, you would want to give A categories to your best to incentivize them, but what if I tell you those central contracts were given out under a different management, does the new one have the right to revise them? Maybe, maybe not. What if I tell you the previous contracts were signed because the players staged a coup and wouldn't travel for the ODI WC if their demands were not met, that they wanted a share in the ICC revenues and that they wanted rights to their NFT's and they wanted their salaries to be increased and they wanted the contracts to be for multiple years, does the board, under new management, have the right to revise the contracts? What if I tell you the previous contracts were finally negotiated because a certain ex player touted as a " match winner" played a crucial role in being the intermediary between the board and the players and later had to resign from his post of Chief Selector because of conflict of interest? You know what forget it, I won't tell you all that, yea you are right, the players have it tough, and the evil board needs to be put in its place. My friends, everything is not black and white, be objective, would expect better when there are 2 "journalists" on the pod.

      I'm sorry these are terrible points. The players didn't stage any coup they resisted signing a terrible and restrictive contract. They wanted their salaries to increase in line with increased revenues and most importantly they wanted to be able to play franchise cricket like the rest of the world. This sort of colonial mentality of treating players like kuttay who should play for free is extremely passe. And given that management changes every 12 months how the hell would they have the right to change contracts?! Is this how you would work at a corporate setup where your salary isnt at market level and forced to stay low, where management keeps changing and where you aren't allowed to have a fair share in revenue you generate? No one buys tickets to see the chairman or selectors they do it for players.

    Misbah is such an interesting topic to discuss. I hope some sociologist does a case study on Misbah and his tenure with Pakistan Cricket. Looking into Misbah tells us so much about what we are and not necessarily who we are as people. Jury is still out on who we are as people, we went from Persians to Arabs to Turks. But what we are, are children of choas. Others, merely fall into choas as a result of unfortunate circumstances. But they merely adopt the choas; we were born in it, molded by it. We don't see any semblance of order until we move away from home but by then order seems so foreign so different so European. It must be Stockholm Syndrome by now as we reward choas and make heroes out of every agent of choas we can find. And we despise order, consistency and proven results. And who is the archetype of order, consistency and proven results, NERDS. We hate NERDS. NERDS of all shapes and sizes. NERDS get into weeds of things, they get meticulous, they get into science and numbers and they bring order and consistency. Misbah is a cricket NERD. He get into weeds of things, he was meticulous and he brought order and consistency to the choas that was Pakistan Cricket back then.

    Loved the cricket conversation but it was wonderful to hear the tribute to Haniya Aslam. To me Pakistani music has always felt so much more touching to me than anything else I listen to. I remember there used to be cricket songs for World Cups which I no longer hear. I would like to hear your opinions on the best of those songs.

    You are assuming that they don’t know how to chase and probably haven’t followed Pakistan domestic closely enough. You have years of Pakistan Cup data to validate this assumption. Every year, it’s even between defending and chasing. Have you considered that all games are happening in the same ground Faisalabad? Could this be due to bad lights and ground conditions?

      The point wasn't that domestic mei chase nahi hoti. Point was that in this competition the end result has been all teams playing the same when the point was to find new stars or challenge current ones.

      @battafast I understand. However, at 9:00, you mentioned, 'Pakistan ka pura domestic khila do, wo chase nahi ker saktay,' and also said, 'pitches are not different.' That’s what I was reacting to, as also most analysts in the media have attributed the chasing struggles to similar factors at the Champions Cup. That said, the Pakistan Cup and QEA are fairly balanced. In fact, during the last Pakistan Cup, the chasing side won 19 games compared to just 9 by the defending team, and the final was also won by a team chasing. I get that this tournament hasn’t been ideal preparation for chasing, which is what you are driving towards, but since I’m a big fan of your show, I was hoping for a deeper analysis of why chasing teams have struggled so uniquely in this tournament. It seems unlikely that ground conditions aren’t playing a role when all 10 games have been won by the team batting first.

      Fair points all. Given that teams were better at chasing in the final round we could assume that some of it was due to a new side or maybe pressure of televised cricket. But ultimately the comments you quoted weren't said as facts so I apologize for that.
