In this episode of The CricBlog Podcast, Charbel Coorey (Australia fan) and Nash Sant (India fan) discuss Pakistan's incredible 2-1 ODI series win in Australia. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah and Mohammad Hasnain were far too good for an Australian team that was well off the pace in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. We also look at the controversy around the 2025 Champions Trophy. India have reportedly made it clear they won't be travelling to Pakistan. Should they be excluded from the tournament? Or would that be financial suicide? We also touch on India vs South Africa T20I series, where the Proteas won the second T20I thanks to a fine bowling performance and excellent 47* by Tristan Stubbs. Did India get things wrong tactically there? Plus, Nathan McSweeney has been confirmed as Australia's Test opener! Is this the right call? Should Marcus Harris, Cameron Bancroft or Sam Konstas have been picked instead?
Pakistan thrashed Australia by eight wickets in Perth to claim their first one-day series win in the country in 22 years. Shaheen Shah Afridi took 3-32 and Naseem Shah 3-54, helping to bowl an under-strength Australia out for just 140 at Optus Stadium. - پاکستان نے تیسرے ایک روزہ کرکٹ میچ میں آسٹریلیا کو شکست دے کر تین میچوں کی سیریز دو ایک سے اپنے نام کر لی ہے۔ تین میچوں کی سیرز کا آخری میچ اتوار کو پرتھ میں کھیلا گیا۔ اب شائیقین کرکٹ کی نظریں T20 سیریز پر لگی ہیں. اس سیریز کا پہلا میچ 14 نومبر کو برسبن میں کھیلا جائے گا۔

Saj Sadiq joins Yas Rana to discuss a turbulent week in Pakistan cricket, which saw three huge names – Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah – dropped for the second Test against England in Multan. 0:00 Intro / 1:10 Dropped or rested? / 3:36 Babar Azam / 11:59 Management / 19:10 Shaheen Afridi & Naseem Shah / 27:49 Priorities / 31:18 Second Test / 36:47 Outro
On Sunday, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) dropped a bombshell by leaving out former captain Babar Azam, along with fast bowling stars Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah, for the last two Tests against England. The decision to exclude Babar, Shaheen, Naseem, and Sarfaraz Ahmed was made by a selection committee constituted last week. This committee includes former international umpire Aleem Dar, former pacer Aqib Javed, ex-captain Azhar Ali, and analyst Hassan Cheema, who took the bold step of dropping four senior players from the squad. Being dropped from the national team, particularly for a player who has been a cornerstone of the batting lineup, can be demoralising. This could lead to self-doubt and questions about his place in the team, potentially undermining his confidence further. Many, including Pakistan's leading white-ball batter Fakhar Zaman, questioned the board's decision to drop Babar, highlighting how Virat Kohli was given an extended run to regain his form by the BCCI. To put it bluntly, Babar enjoyed the hype and comparisons to modern-day greats, including Virat Kohli. However, he hasn't managed to shut out the outside noise during this period of intense scrutiny. Meanwhile, the Indian women's team failed to impress in the Women's T20 World Cup. After losing to Australia and New Zealand in the group stage, they are on the brink of an early exit. Is it time to ask tough questions of the team and the management group? Akshay Ramesh, Saurabh Kumar and Kingshuk Kusari discuss the big Pakistan bombshell and India's T20 World Cup show in the latest episode of the Sledging Room. Tune in! Produced & Sound Mix By: Kapil Dev Singh
How can you not chase 120 when you know the tournament is on the line? The biggest match of the T20 World Cup saw Pakistan do a Pakistan. It was worse. Never has Pakistan been this listless with the bat in a major tournament in the recent past. After a shock defeat to the USA, who are playing a men's T20 World Cup for the first time, Pakistan were humbled by their arch-rivals India in New York on Monday. Pakistan bowlers gave it their all after the run of green went Babar Azam's way at the toss. Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir and Haris Rauf bowled their hearts out to restrict the mighty Indian batting unit for just 119 in New York. However, there was no intent throughout the chase, with Babar Azam failing early and Mohammad Rizwan lacking common sense; Pakistan choked in the chase, losing by 6 runs. The defeat has pushed Pakistan to the brink of elimination. The 2022 finalists are set to exit without even making it to the Super 8s this year. Who should take the blame for Pakistan's horror show? Is it the cricket board? Keep in mind that captains were changed, and new coaches were brought in just months before the T20 World Cup. There is pressure on Babar Azam. Is it time for him to go as captain? Is it time for him to quit T20I cricket? Are Pakistan playing outdated cricket? Plenty of questions as the Green Shirts implode on the biggest stage. India, on the other hand, has won two in two. But they are not yet looking like title contenders. In the latest episode of the Sledging Room Podcast, Akshay Ramesh, Kingshuk Kusari, and Alan John discuss Pakistan's T20I team's downfall. Tune in! Produced and Mixed By: Kapil Dev Singh

It's Friday, February 2nd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslims forced Pakistani Christians to convert An Islamist cleric presided over the forced conversion of two Christians in Sialkot District, Pakistan after they were tortured into reciting the Islamic conversion creed, reports Morning Star News. On January 22nd, Azam Masih, 28, and his brother, Nadeem Masih, were abducted, beaten with iron rods, and pressured to convert to Islam. Azam was working at his tailoring shop in the Kharota Syedan market when Naseem Shah and accomplices held him at gunpoint and forcibly took him to the house of another suspect, Sunny Shah. The Muslims tortured them and forced the two Christians to recite the Kalima [the proclamation of Islamic conversion] if they wanted to save their lives, threatening to kill them if they refused. The brothers and their impoverished Christian family chose to keep silent about the ordeal, as the suspects had warned them against contacting police. Adil Ghauri of the Movement for Christian Awakening said, “We came to know about this incident on January 24 and immediately contacted the family. After much persuasion, we were able to convince the family to file a First Information Report with the police, as keeping silent would have only encouraged the perpetrators to target more Christians living in the village.” Thankfully, the police arrested a Muslim cleric alleged to have conducted the conversion and registered charges against the suspects of kidnapping, punishable by death or life imprisonment. Women give Biden the edge right now In a hypothetical general election matchup, President Joe Biden holds a lead over Trump, 50%- 44%, among registered voters, according to a January 31st Quinnipiac University national poll. By contrast, in the Quinnipiac December 20, 2023 poll, Biden received 47% support and Trump received 46% support. The gender gap is widening. Today, women support Biden, 58%- 36%. That's up from December when 53% supported Biden and 41% supported Trump. Quinnipiac also polled GOP Presidential contender Nikki Haley. In a head to head match-up today with President Biden, she beats him 47%-42%. Republican National Committee wasted money on limos and flowers In an exclusive Red State report, Jennifer Van Laar documents that between October 20, 2022 and November 30, 2023, the Republican National Committee spent lavishly on limos, consultants, flowers, and office supplies while skimping on Get out the vote efforts, critical data, and investing in state parties. Consider the following, side-by-side comparisons. On floral arrangements, RNC spent $70,328 compared to the Democratic National Committee which spent $795. On consultants, the RNC spent $1,078,279.47 compared to the DNC which spent $114,000. On office supplies, the RNC spent $297,717.64 compared to the DNC which spent $45,005. On limousines, the RNC spent $263,127 compared to the DNC which spent $7,000. When it came to important categories that will make a huge difference in the final election outcomes, like voter File Maintenance, the RNC only spent $39,233 compared to the DNC which spent $235,865. On Get Out The Vote texts, the RNC spent $86,019 compared to the DNC which spent $1,676,923. And on State Outlays, the RNC spent $13,800,200 compared to the DNC which spent $23,835,437. N.J. Dad sues school over daughter's secret gender transition A father is suing a Garden State school district after his daughter's gender transition was allegedly kept a secret from him, reports The Washington Stand. The father, who is remaining anonymous to protect his daughter's identity, found that New Jersey's Delaware Valley Regional High School had been calling his daughter by a male name and male pronouns for at least two months. It all started when a pro-trans student club's staff advisor — who is not licensed to practice either medicine or psychology — asked teachers to refer to the girl by a male name and male pronouns and not to tell her father. The father said, “I was devastated. If a kid gets a headache in school, they have to call the parents to give them Tylenol, but they're going to choose to allow them to identify as something?” He said that his wife died when his daughter was only four years old, and his daughter has been in treatment for depression and anxiety since 2022. The father says he only learned of his daughter's social transition when a neighbor and fellow parent accidentally told him. The father removed his daughter from Delaware Valley Regional High School and began homeschooling her. He said that pro-trans activists in the school system showed her a “fantasyland” version of transgenderism, and once he showed his daughter photos and videos of the reality of gender transition surgeries, she began crying. Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Christian veteran charged with hate crime for destroying Satanic idol And finally, a Christian Navy veteran is facing a hate crime charge after he destroyed a Satanic Temple idol set up at the Iowa State Capitol, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Polk County prosecutors upgraded the misdemeanor charge against Michael Cassidy to a hate crime felony charge. On December 14th, Cassidy dismantled the Baphomet Altar at the Iowa State Capitol and destroyed the headpiece. The cost to replace or repair the property is between $750 and $1,500. That amount would make the offense third-degree criminal mischief, an aggravated misdemeanor, according to Iowa Code Section 716.5. In an interview with The Sentinel, Cassidy said, “The world may tell Christians to submissively accept the legitimization of Satan, but none of the Founders would have considered government sanction of Satanic altars, inside Capitol buildings, as protected by the First Amendment. … I saw this blasphemous statue and was outraged. My conscience is held captive to the Word of God, not to bureaucratic decree. And so, I acted.” Acts 5:29 says, “We must obey God rather than men.” If convicted, Cassidy faces up to five years in prison for his actions and/or thousands of dollars in fines. He will be arraigned on February 15. Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Friday, February 2nd in the year of our Lord 2024.

This is the The Guerilla Cricket Podcast World and on this episode we have highlights from Game 2 at the ICC Cricket World Cup in India. Netherlands won the toss and elected to bowl first against a Pakistan side who were missing several players through injury including Naseem Shah. Pakistan got their victory but not after getting themselves in a spot of bother with the bat relying on Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel to dig them out of trouble.

India has eased concerns over their World Cup preparation with solid performances in the Asia Cup, which finished with a resounding win over Sri Lanka in the final. Mohammed Siraj picked 6 for 21, the fourth-best figure by an Indian bowler, to bowl Sri Lanka out for only 50.Shubman Gill finished as the leading run-scorer in the tournament, while Rohit Sharma stood out with three successive half-centuries. Virat Kohli was outstanding in the Super 4 match against Pakistan, hitting his 47th ODI hundred. At the same time, KL Rahul returned to international cricket with a superb hundred against Pakistan and a gritty knock against Sri Lanka the next day.India has resolved most of their issues, but their bench strength remains a concern. Against Bangladesh, India had rested several of their first-choice players and lost by six runs despite a Gill hundred.Things are looking good for some of India's young players. Gill is quickly closing the gap with Babar Azam for the top spot in the ICC rankings for batters, while Mohammed Siraj stormed to No.1 from No.9 after his destructive spell in the final on Sunday.Meanwhile, Pakistan has some severe issues to address. Their overt reliance on the top three in the batting order proved costly against India and Sri Lanka. The pace attack, the team's pride, failed against India. It appears that Naseem Shah will be ruled out of the World Cup.Despite their No.1 ranking, Pakistan is clearly not the team to beat in this World Cup.Akshay Ramesh and Saurabh Kumar join Rajarshi Gupta in another scintillating episode of the Sledging Room.Tune in!Produced by Anna PriyadarshiniSound mix by Sachin Dwivedi

Pakistan's openers led the fightback after England set a mammoth 657 in their first innings. Jonathan Agnew and Vic Marks round-up the action on the 2nd day of the opening Test and we get reaction from debutant Will Jacks and Pakistan bowler Naseem Shah. We also hear a fascinating interview with Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja.
Host Carl Lewis and cricket punter Lwanele Poswayo preview the big group 2 ICC T20 World Cup match between South Africa and Pakistan in Sydney. South Africa's batting line-up is unlikely to change as long as they're winning, which probably means that there's still no room for Reeza Hendricks. The only consideration for them is whether to bring back Tabraiz Shamsi in place of one of the quicks, which could leave Lungi Ngidi on the sidelines. South Africa: : (possible) 1 Quinton de Kock (wk), 2 Temba Bavuma (capt), 3 Rilee Rossouw, 4 Aiden Markram, 5 David Miller, 6 Tristan Stubbs, 7 Wayne Parnell, 8 Keshav Maharaj, 9 Anrich Nortje 10 Lungi Ngidi/Tabraiz Shamsi, 11 Kagiso Rabada. Fakhar Zaman has been ruled out of the match with a knee injury so Pakistan's line-up will have atleast one change. Asif Ali was dropped after the India match but may be brought back in to the XI unless Fakhar is ruled out of the tournament entirely, in which case Mohammad Haris could be brought in as a player replacement. Pakistan: 1 Mohammad Rizwan (wk), 2 Babar Azam (capt), 3 Shan Masood, 4 Asif Ali, 5 Iftikhar Ahmed, 6 Shadab Khan, 7 Mohammed Nawaz, 8 Mohammed Wasim, 9 Shaheen Shah Afridi, 10 Haris Rauf, 11 Naseem Shah. Pitch and conditions This match will be played on the same pitch as the Sri Lanka-New Zealand game, where Trent Boult took a career-best 4 for 13. There's expected to be something in it for the quicks but also plenty of opportunities to score big. Sydney is the only venue at the tournament where teams have breached 200. The best news is that there's no chance of rain at all, with the temperatures in the mid-teens. Stats and trivia Pakistan have a 3-0 win record against South Africa at the T20 World Cup, even though they last met in 2012. The average first innings score in Sydney at this tournament so far is 188, the highest of the venues used.

Had the pleasure of speaking to 6 brilliant fans on the first "Pakistan Fan's Forum" on the Asia Cup 2022. Although he discuss the defeat and the problems in our approach, he begin by looking at Sri Lanka's brilliant victory and end with some positives (namely Naseem Shah and Nawaz). Unfortunately, we also had to address the possibility of another Shoaib Malik return!

What A Match it was and What A Tournament Asia Cup 2022 is turning out to be. Afghanistan should be proud of the fight they put up and it would be not long when they will beat teams like Pakistan in future. Naseem Shah has stood up BIG TIME in this tournament with ball first and then with BAT hitting 2 Sixes that will be remembered for a long time alongside Javed Maindad's and Shahid Afridi's Sixes.Talk Before Wicket aka TBW is a Cricket Podcast.Our goal here is to make cricket discussions more fun, stats oriented & meaningful."Let's Talk Everything about Cricket" at Talk Before Wicket!Our YOUTUBE ChannelYou can also find our content on social media pagesTwitterInstagramTikTokFacebookOur WEBSITEWe are on all Major Podcasting Platforms:Google PodcastApple PodcastSpotifyPocket Casts Support the showSHOP TOP-QUALITY CRICKET BATS AND GEARhttps://shop.talkbeforewicket.com/TALK BEFORE WICKET'S OFFICIAL CRICKET WEBSITEhttps://www.talkbeforewicket.com/ SUPPORT THE PODCASThttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2004968/supporters/newCONNECT Twitter : https://twitter.com/TalkB4WicketYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TalkBeforeWicketInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkbeforewicket
The Hundred tournament starts on 3 August 2022. Since a disappointing 2021, the Welsh Fire franchise have made some big changes... If England duties allow, the batting firepower looks awesome with Jonny Bairstow, Ollie Pope, Ben Duckett, David Miller... but what happens when test duties start calling? Will Adam Zampa prove the doubters wrong once and for all? And will Naseem Shah's pace or Noor Ahmad's mystery spin be the best option? This is The Hundred Club: a community for fans of short format cricket.
So I'm really lucky to have Taha Hashim with me today. Taha writes for Wisden Cricket Monthly and was recently commended for the Young Journalist of the Year award by the ECB (https://twitter.com/taha_wisden?lang=en). Taha was recently in Pakistan covering the Pakistan-Australia Test Series, and joins me from the UK. We talk about Usman Khawaja's form, the Azeem Rafiq-Yorkshire racism story, the criticism of Joe Root's captaincy, watching Abdullah Shafique bat, Naseem Shah's action, Pat Cummins's ridiculous consistency, and much more. This is Taha Hashim's interview with Azeem Rafiq that first brought the Yorkshire racism story to the surface: https://wisden.com/stories/interviews/the-extraordinary-life-of-azeem-rafiq I also want to say thank you to DeKobe for letting me use his music: https://dekobe.bandcamp.com/album/space-adventures You can donate to my patreon page if you would like to help me in continuing to do these podcasts: https://www.patreon.com/pakcricketpod You can follow me on twitter here: https://twitter.com/PakCricPodcast
The final Pakistan wickets fall with Hasan Ali, Babar Azam and Naseem Shah out.
This is the fifth of a 6 part mini-series where I break down each side in the lead up to the PSL. In this episode, I broke down the Quetta Gladiators, a side that has taken the title once and has been finalists several times. Will the signings of Chris Gayle, Tom Banton, and Qais Ahmed help them after a horror last season?

Binksy joins via Zoom but the Top Order are back again to review a fascinating week of cricket and look ahead to the final Australia v India Test in Brisbane. We start the show (0.40) with South Africa's 2-0 series win against Sri Lanka, before discussing the England squad and whether we expect them to follow suit in Galle. Baldy and Lippy then take us through the BBL and Super Smash action so far and what it could mean for international selection. With the Blackcaps' Test summer now concluded, we review another win against Pakistan (17.35). Lippy claims to have run out of superlatives before heaping praise on Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell and the entire New Zealand side, while Raj is concerned about Naseem Shah and Binksy calls for calm heads as Pakistan conduct an internal review. As we move to the Australia v India series, Baldy outlines his frustration while watching a battered and bruised India side hold on for a dramatic draw at the SCG (31.15). We credit India's fighting spirit, wonder why wicketkeepers (and fielders in general) can't catch any more and discuss many of the key individuals of this engaging Test match, including Nathan Lyon, Ravichandran Ashwin, Tim Paine, Rishabh Pant, Steve Smith, Shubman Gill and Will Pucovski. Baldy makes a big call as we wrap the show with our predictions for the final Test in Brisbane and the World Test Championship implications, and we all cross our fingers that India can find eleven players to pull on the whites before the end of the week. Keep your eye on the podcast feed over the coming days. We've got an episode dropping with former Blackcaps all-rounder and current White Ferns bowling coach Jacob Oram in which he gives us his thoughts on the NZ summer and takes us on a walk down memory lane.

New Zealand are tentatively the number one test cricket nation in the world for the first time.The Black Caps have beaten Pakistan by 101 runs in the first test at Mt Maunganui.Their test championship final hopes also remain alive.The spectacle finished as all test matches should in an ideal world – fielders encroached around the bat in the final session on the final day desperately willing on the last wicket with 4.4 overs left.Then Mitchell Santner leapt to take a one-handed caught-and-bowled to remove Naseem Shah to seal the win.Pakistan, particularly through the gritty 165-run fifth-wicket stand between century-maker Fawad Alam and first-time captain Mohammad Rizwan with 60, had hung in the contest.Eventually the Black Caps' tenacity prevailed after setting an appropriate target as bait.New Zealand's unbeaten home record now extends to 16.
At the end of Day 3 of the first Test in Brisbane, The Age sports reporter Daniel Cherny spoke with the boys about Australia and their brilliant display against Pakistan, guided by the wonderful innings from Marnus Labuschagne, David Warner and Joe Burns; and why Mohammad Abbas should've been selected.
