Who is responsible for Pakistan's worst defeat in ODI series against England?
Karachi - There
is a term in cricket commentary, 'Bowling does not happen, batting does not
come and fielding cannot be done' and this term fits the Pakistan cricket team
which is present in England these days.
After losing
the first two matches of the three-match ODI series, the Green Shirts not only
lost the chance to win the series in the land of whites 47 years later, but
also lost to a team whose captain was new and The players were also
inexperienced.
Owen Morgan,
the permanent captain of the English One team, has been in quarantine with the
players since the series against Sri Lanka. He lauded this historic victory
under the leadership of his deputy Ben Stokes.
In the first
match, the national team scored a total of 141 runs on the board but could not
defend it. In the second match, despite Hassan Ali's superb bowling, the entire
team scored only 195 runs in pursuit of 248 runs. Is out
And so, 47 years
later, the team's dream of defeating England in the ODI series ended in a 2-0
defeat.
Even the
most reputable cricket website Kirk Info had to ask the question, what is the
problem with the Pakistan team in England?
What Is The Problem
With The Pakistan Team In England?
Cricket
experts say that there are many problems with the Pakistan cricket team in
England which are visible to cricket fans and observers, but not to the cricket
board. Neither the batting order of the team has been arranged keeping in view
the local conditions nor the selection of players is seen under any plan.
Even the
England team whose players were selected two days before the series, its
players are attacking Pakistan as if they are Shaheen and the victim is the
Pakistani team.
Except for
Fakhr Zaman, Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel, no batsman is playing with
understanding of swing and seam conditions. So far, Pakistan has scored only
one half-century in the series, which was also scored by Saud Shakeel, who is
playing his second match.
Opener
Imam-ul-Haq has so far faced three balls in two matches and scored just one
run. In-form batsman Mohammad Rizwan, who starts the innings in the T20, failed
to bat well at number four.
Critics are
also objecting to feeding Sohaib Maqsood, who batted at number three in the
PSL, to Shadab Khan, who is at number six and without any performances.
Hassan Ali,
who batted at lower numbers and scored 22 runs in an over in the second ODI, is
being sent to number nine, while Faheem Ashraf, who hit five off 12 balls in
one match and in the other, is coming up. Made a run on nine balls.
With Shadab
Khan, who has consistently failed in the team despite being a good league
spinner, Usman Qadir, Haris Rauf's consistent runs in international matches and
Shaheen Shah Afridi's low wickets are no less of a headache for Pakistan.
'Our Team Is Running In
Auto Mode'
Former Test cricketer Haroon Rashid, who has been associated with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for many years, told VOA that when the national team is not selected based on domestic cricket, it is like Pakistan. Cricket is happening in England with the team.
"First
of all, we have to acknowledge that our team is not capable of consistently
performing well," he said.
"Teams
all over the world thrive on playing domestic cricket, but our team is trained
on training camps. So I will understand it in auto mode. We play very few ODIs
at the domestic level," he said. And T20s play more. "
Senior
commentator and analyst Mirza Iqbal Baig does not consider the national team to
be in auto mode but he blames the national team coaches for this failure.
He said that
we are happy to win against small teams.
We won against small teams. They go and play
happy weddings, but whenever a strong team comes forward, our hands and feet
swell against it. "
He termed
the recent achievements of the national team as insufficient and said that
Pakistan had beaten South Africa 2-1 in their home series, but only when some
of their players went to play in the IPL.
He said that
Imam-ul-Haq's batting average in ODI cricket is good, but he fails against big
teams.
'National Team Is Not
Out Of PSL T20 Mode Yet'
Mirza Iqbal
Baig also said that the national team is not coming out of PSL mode and this is
the biggest reason for poor performance of Pakistan cricket in ODI cricket.
He also said
that chief selector Muhammad Waseem uses laptops and shows big figures at the
time of selection, but the team's performance is still not improving.
According to
Haroon Rashid, when there is a big difference between a country's domestic
level and an international level, it is clear in such a series.
He said that
England's domestic structure is strong, so the newcomers did not have much
difficulty in adjusting to international cricket.
According to
Haroon Rashid, when we do not bring our domestic cricket close to the standard
of international cricket, our team will continue to win in one or two matches,
but the performance will not be consistent.
He also
expressed the hope that cricket fans in the T20 could expect some improvement
from the national team.
On the other
hand, Mirza Iqbal Baig said that the team played inexperienced England, but the
lack of experience and planning was seen in the Pakistan camp.
Shoaib Akhtar Became A
Firestorm On The Selection Of The National Team:
England have made a name for themselves in the three-match ODI series by defeating Pakistan in the first two matches. Shoaib Akhtar is furious over the poor performance of the national team.
According to
the details, Shoaib Akhtar commented that I had already said that England will
win the series 3-0, there is no better middle order batsman than Sarfraz Ahmed,
England in the team a few hours ago county cricket players. Added to that,
Babar Azam has a hard time on the outswing ball.
