Pakistan today looked like uh a bottle Of soda an open bottle of soda that was Kept aside for an hour so now without Fizz that fizz was lacking completely They as you said they just weren't there And therefore uh when a cricket fan or a Cricket opinion maker or a journalist Judges barar aam's captaincy important To look at things in perspective where I Mean a captain is as good as his or her Team isn't it see anyways he's under Pressure there's no doubt no doubt about That uh but uh today's bowling Performance and the way team was there On the field I don't think you can blame Babber for this it's just about Bowlers Not taking enough responsibility to Defend this total uh you can look at the Two sides and and say that last 10 overs Also you know how Pakistan had to score 91 runs to get to this total right and Then uh then when when it came to Bowling uh you knew that there will be Uh there will be inexperience in Bangladesh batting lineup which you can Exploit uh you can create a scenario It's just about pushing the game to that Level and it had to be done collectively Yeah so a captain or just one man cannot Really pull the the rest of the squad uh On on his shoulders everyone have to Have that belief and uh and everyone Needs to contribute uh so I think that Was uh was lacking uh and and that is

The reason uh this game uh Pakistan Couldn't defend this total Collective Failure the right words to use Collective failure I mean none of the Bowlers other than Hass Ali who I Thought bowled decently but even he was Not really penetrative I mean he got a Wicket I know but it's it's not as if he Was looking as if he's going to take a Wicket all the time the disappointment Was really The Spinners this is a pitch For Spinners and they just I think let Their team down you cannot have a Performance like that from your M Because if you look at the Spinners on The other side what does nmed done he's Given them breakthroughs he gave them Three wickets at crucial time yeah and Rashid Rashid kept it economical n got Wickets that's what made the difference Here they didn't get anything from There
