Winning with courage and spirit

Nigah Muhammad by Nigah Muhammad
March 27, 2022

After the restoration of law and order in Pakistan, empty cricket grounds have been welcoming the crowd in Pakistan. After the tragic escape of the Kiwi team last year, 24 years later, the tour of the Australian team opened the door for the arrival of foreign teams in Pakistan.

The joys of the people of the country were doubled as the Kangaroos set sail for Pakistan after innumerable conspiracies, fears, and whispers, even though the number of spectators in the Test matches in Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi was low but this tour became an example for other teams to visit Pakistan. 

While this series opened the door to the revival of international cricket in Pakistan, one of the disappointing aspects of the tour was the lack of winning spirit and courage. In any game in the world, your strategy is very important to defeat the opponent on the field.

As far as cricket is concerned, the wicket has a very important role to play in it, but the wicket was so dead as compared to the international standards and it was thought that perhaps the players of the national team are practicing batting on the net.

While the Rawalpindi Test marked the 24-year history of the Australian team playing tests again in Pakistan, it showed a very poor strategy and lack of enthusiasm. In the statements of the players of the national team, the earth and the sky are in a state of flux, but the on-ground performance of the players was average.

At no point in the Rawalpindi Test, it seem that the national team was on the field to win while the Karachi Test was also drawn due to the traditional fear of our batsmen.

At the beginning of the third Test at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, it seemed that this test may also end inconclusively, but the Australian captain showed great courage and gave a target of 351 runs in almost 120 overs. It is true that crossing the 300 mark in the fourth inning is difficult but not impossible.

Pat Cummins must have feared that the Pakistan team, which scored more than 400 runs in the fourth innings of the Karachi Test, would cross the 351-run mark, but he decided to take the risk to make the match a success, but sadly the same defensive strategy emerged from our side.

After the openers returned to the pavilion, the national team kept trying to draw the match instead of chasing the target and the opponent took benefit from the situation and made history by defeating the green caps.

If you look at the national team, our players play with their personal records and draw in mind instead of winning. The one-day match between Australia and South Africa in the history of cricket is still a shining example for cricketers today when the Kangaroos put a collection of over 400 on the board for the first time but surprisingly the Proteas did not panic and crossed the mountain-like target and made a new history in cricket.

There is no shortage of talent in Pakistan’s players and we have names in batting and bowling who can turn any match alone but one thing these players lack is courage. We need passion and courage to succeed in any sport or any field. If you work hard, it may be possible to turn defeat into victory will become destiny.
