- The most requested spell ever since this podcast began, we recap Junaid Khan's brilliant, and hugely underrated spell against India in a forgotten bilateral series. We cover the many lows and few highs of Junaid's career, the absurdity of this tour, and spend some time with Mirza Ghalib.
Ghalib applied to a ball by Junaid Khan to Kohli is the end-all-be-all of all cricket podcasts. *slow clap*
This pod continues to be our favourite!
daman-e-khayal-e-yaar as an outswinger is never leaving my head
As much like Junaid's forgotten career he's many a times in the spells of Amir and Hasan Ali is forgotten as the 3rd pacer of the Champions Trophy 2017 squad and the one who took important middle over wickets including those of Butler and Moin in the Semis. Brillaint episode as always.
When I think junaid khan I always think sangakara being beaten on a dead wicket. It’s nice to think others have that context that junaid wasn’t a one hit wonder. We have so many ex players coming out with rants about being mistreated. Some of them may be justified. But I always loved that junaid khan didn’t seem bitter never complained just carried on. All class.
That Ghalib couplet ki tashreeh and application to the delivery 🫠 bravo! 👏🏽
This deserves millions of views due to Ghalib's shayari being used on Junaid's bowling.
Absolute. Fucking. Perfection.
my drive back from work doesn't feel like 60 minutes whenever you guys are on. keep up the awesome work lads!
I think the moment that really captures the clinicalness and hauntings of junaid khan is when he takes the wicket of Jos Butler in CT 2017. He gets him out right after the drinks break edging behind the wicket with a seeminly non-chalant delivery, and then follows it up with getting Ali out with a mean bouncer.
His contributions in that match go largely unnoticed but getting Butler and Moeen Ali, two of arguably most destructive late phase batters, in a ICC tournament semi final where the key bowler sits out because of an injury, was perhaps his final gift to Pakistan Cricket.
if we look back to the Champions Trophy 2017, Junaid was highly underrated in that too, had more wickets than Amir but remained completely under the shadow of those 3 wickets of Amir
He was the joint second highest wicket taker in that champions trophy.
Naqvi sahab, where did you get that poster behind you. Pray tell.
Same please
the artist @digink made it as a one off. Given how often i get asked about it he should do reprints but i don't think he plans to
Fortunately, we know Digink. Will try to get something worked out lol @@BattaFast
Thank you so much for doing this episode on demand, guys. Loved it. You assessment of Misbah era cricket is hilarious but so apt 😂
Please do an episode on Razzaq’s famous spell against Sri Lanka in the famous tied ODI in Sharjah (1999). The spell is archetype of “haal” of Pakistani fast bowling.
Best spell by a visiting fast bowler in Indias since 2010s
Pace is Pace Yaar ( PIPY ) is back in 2023 with this episode 🥳
What a brilliant podcast!! Ghalib k saath ka parallel. Ufff.
One more Epic podcast! I was waiting for this one indeed. Ghalib applied, Misbah era defined aptly as well... but simply to put all of it in a nutshell, " BECHARA amazing Junaid. "
finally someone brought to light on how misbah destroyed the very fabric of pak cricket, junaid too was let down as he was the first man dropped for any new fast bowler
Galib sahhie time per gozaar gaay. Werna in londoon nay koee kasar na chorie thee.. Epic though man that was epic. Junaid's career was tragic. But he was lucky in a way. He wasn't grinded into bowling off cutters in the opening spell.
I'm declaring this as the best podcast episode I've heard. Ghalib and cricket 🤌
This podcast be spinning gold every single time. 🫶
Guys if one thought you couldnt come up with a better episode - well you have and for the most underrated guy ever what a tribute to Junaid Khan. A suggestion while this is restricted to Pakistani fast bowling you have to open it up to the love of fast bowling and include world bowlers as well. You’re on to something big here! And Urdu poetry applied to fast bowling is just excellent.
Best episode of the series so far.
This specs guy can speak very well..n articulative n factual
I wish Junaid sees this man. The stats about his test matches is unbelievable.
How does this show not get views crazy
feeling so bad for our Junaid Khan and his epic kkg-ness
Junaid Khan had such an unmemorable career… only now after listening to this podcast do you actually appreciate him..bechaara. Deserved a better career and a better cricket board!! I feel we have more tragedies with our fast bowlers rather than successes. Mohammed Zahid, Mohammed Amir, Mohammed Asif, Hassan Ali. This is a failure of the Pakistan Cricket Board but players need to accept responsibility as well. Fast bowlers from Australia and England have much better and longer careers because of better care from their board and also them looking after themselves. Having said all that he bowled really well in the Champions trophy 2017. I remember he was brought is after the hammering to India.
Waking up to watch the match and I was under the impression will just get wrecked and then comes Junaid and Ramiz Raja going absolutly going crazy on comms. Wowooww was the word salad ramiz used.
Podcast of the month!
Absolutely love your show
I wait desperately for your show
Too good yaar ❤
pure nostalgia
That Ghalib's verse sat so fit
Suggestion for next episodes Wahab vs Australia CW15 and Naseem vs England CW22
Also do a series on great spin bowling spells by our spinners. Saeed Ajmal and Saqlain come to mind.
Love the podcast. Please do an episode on Wahab Riaz’s spell against Australia in 2015, quarterfinal
Please upload that song recording in desert.
Can you cover Razzaq vs SL in the famous tied match from 1999?
I like your podcasts and even your viewers are also amazing
U guys know how to hypnotize people ❤❤
8:40 tells me that all of us pct fans remain in delusion hahahah.
The dream of playing india in a test match 😭
BEST BATTA FAST EP SO FAR
I didn't get the urdu analogies of the Kohli wicket but am sure it was on point, as usual, by Ahmed 😂👏🏽
Bhaijan... ham jaise juhla-e-cricket/kund zehen/mausami shayaqeen k liye in tamam wickets k link de dia karain...ham bhi dekhna chahte hain laxman ki boklahat, arun laal ki phati hui g waghera waghera
Is that Shadab on harmonium ?
ahmer bhai ne ghalib ki shyari kr k dil jeet liya ,,aur sath ma editing sony pe sohaga
Batta Fast is inspired by Shoaib Akhtar
Do Miandad innings from 1986 Australasia Cup final next. Roohani taur pe it’s also a fast bowling spell
the ghalib interpolation is genius ❤❤❤
Hey guys! Love this podcast. Osman bhai, are you planning to write another cricket book? If yes, when its going to be released?
Ghalib peaked in this podcast!
Im just here to point out that at 47:35 Usman has the same pose as bobby in the background
Ghoray ka bacha had me Fitts 😅
I think what you guys kinda fail to understand is that Modi didn't bring out the jingoistic era. He is kinda a product of the jingoistic era. After Mumbai attacks, people suddenly become much more aware of the kind of threats India faced from Pakistan and due to that it wasn't a good look to be playing with Pakistan, for a lot of people, especially in South India which is historically not as connected to Pakistan as West and Northwest India, it became an issue of funding terrorism. It's sad, but that's the reality. Congress winning would not have changed much. In fact, to counter the narrative that Congress favors muslims over majority Hindus, it was quite possible that they go extra hard on easy target that was Pakistan. Sadly few terror attacks after Modi came to power forced his hands too, he was selected over congress because he wasn't seen as someone catering to some minority and taking majority for granted.
Also, there is another important factor, older Indian army leadership was retiring, and Joginder Jaswant Singh was the last COAS who was not born in independent India. So that bond to the land that is Pakistan was finally broken too. That's why that 2008 attack hurt so much psychologically, because for the first time since the 80s, serious upper brass of Indian National security was considering a final fight with Pakistan and occupation of the land. Few sober heads which realized the herculean task it was and understood that Indian defense forces were not at all prepared for it, things died down in that direction but everyone from that point onwards was kinda in sync about the kind of relationship with Pakistan. That's why when Modi flew to Pakistan directly, "unannounced", many took it to mean that our leadership is turning against us again. Subsequent attacks were a big egg on his face.
thank you for your considered reply. There's a lot in here I am not qualified to comment on, but it has always struck me as very strange that there is a reluctance to play cricket because of terrorism, but not to suspend the economic ties between the two countries. Given that those ties are worth a lot of money, it does make the claim of boycotting cricket over principles sound hollow.
Guys plz more of this, would be great if there is more on current sports events too
Was Usman drunk or what ? How could you say that no one gave a crap about indopak series?
tbh in case of kohli pakistanis suffer from stockholm syndrome.... but then again kohli is kohli
38:43 Ramiz Porn makes an entry
