“This loss was very hard as a team soccer
And the batting and our plan was to total 280-290 soccer
And when we achieved that, I think we were not up to the mark in bowling and fielding soccer
You have to bowl well and field well soccer
In the middle overs, the spinners didn’t bowl as they should have soccer
They didn’t put pressure on them,” Azam told reporters soccer
“When you bowl well, and you bowl for 3-4 overs, the pressure comes on the other team soccer
I congratulate their team for the way they played soccer
They played outstandingly,” he said soccer
Azam also admitted that in a tournament like the Cricket World Cup, if a team does not perform well even in one department, they’ll lose the match soccer
“In the field, we didn’t stop boundaries and gave away runs and that cost us soccer
All credit to Afghanistan for the way they played in all three departments soccer
That’s why they won,” he said soccer
“We are not playing good cricket in bowling and fielding soccer
We’ll try our best in the next match soccer
We didn’t hit the lengths in the middle overs, especially our spinners soccer
We couldn’t put pressure on the batters soccer

Look at the fitness level of Pakistan players soccer
We’ve pointed out that these players have not had fitness tests in two years!” remarked the former top international cricketer soccer

These are professional players, there has to be a criteria soccer
