But by then all had become Muhammad Amir
When facilitation takes the place of effort, destiny overpowers destiny. Confidence turns into uncertainty and flaws surround virtues.
It has been two months since the Pakistani squad arrived in England. Apart from the difficulties of life in quarantine and biosecurity bubble, the team still lacks the taste of victory even after so much exercise.
No one can win the toss. Maybe if Babar Azam had won the toss and Pakistan had bowled first, the wicket would not have been so nervous and the mental turmoil would not have increased.
But even after losing the toss, Babar Azam was determined to win. He wanted to score big on this wicket and he did. The winning total on this wicket was 190 runs. It was a combination that if Pakistan's bowling attack was just normal bowling, the victory was certain.
But Pakistani bowling was not normal from the beginning. Although this wicket was not unfamiliar to Pakistani bowling, the ball was coming to the bat and when the bowler knows that the batsman will take a chance on at least three balls of the over, it becomes easier to devise a strategy.
The wicket was providing full support for batting. On such a wicket, the fielding team must adopt a defensive strategy. But defense is more difficult than attack. Attack requires full expression of one's strength, defense requires full concentration of one's strength.
No matter what form the batsman is in on such a wicket, if only the middle stump line is maintained and a consistent good length is targeted, then the batsman's boredom does not take long and the batsman's boredom in T20 is equal to the bowler's victory. Is.
The only question is who gets bored first.
It was bad for Pakistan here that Pakistani bowlers got bored even before the beer stew and in the second over we saw some bowling like grass on the wicket, cloudy, informed, four slips are standing, the ball is being bent. And the bowler is deliberately trying to lure the batsman to the driving length outside the off stump.
Bowlers like Faheem Ashraf, Hassan Ali and Raman Raees are successful on such wickets who can throw hard with a change of pace. But luckily there is no medium pacer in this squad who can take the burden of the middle overs on his head.
Shaheen Shah Afridi looked tired throughout the match. Physically, he was feeling full presence in the match. But the mind is probably tired of forgetting the color of the kit on his body and the color of the ball in his hand.
Babar Azam is new to this role. But the scoreboard set was such that even the newest fielding captain would have confidence. Babar was trusted, but as soon as Morgan called, his world began to fade. The addition and subtraction of the overs went awry and there were a couple of major errors in the field setting.
The semi-finals of the 2010 T20 World Cup in the West Indies were also lost by Pakistan. It was the first time Pakistan had lost a T20I match by more than 190 runs. Now this defeat will hurt the past of this team.
Although Mohammad Aamir's injuries have raised suspicions many times in the past, the need for positivity is that his recent injury should not be linked to the cold seal of the wicket and the economy rate of two overs because he has Tried hard to get back in the match.
In the same hope, he kept staggering near the boundary line again, but Babar Azam instead of him gave the ball to Shaheen Shah Afridi because by then Pakistani bowling had staggered. By then, everyone had become Muhammad Amir.
