"In 30 years of cricket, I have never seen five such consecutive (batting) failures" : Aaqib Javed
Aaqib Javed speaking at a presser after Lahore Qalandars lost their fifth match in a row in PSL 3:
"We've played five matches and it's the same pattern, a good start and then a collapse. I was sitting and was thinking that I have never seen such a performance from any team."
"You have 7 batsmen so you expect that in 5 matches, they have 35 innings and they'll have at least one fifty."
"Teams have big collapses and I've seen out of form teams but you expect a few fifties, we don't have even one."
"We keep talking about a good start which is 40 runs but a good start only becomes something more when another pair makes it 70. Even if the other batsmen give pathetic performances of 9-10 runs, one of your top order batsmen like your number needs to go big to get a good score."
"You have expectations from your experienced players like Brendon, Fakhar, Umar, Delport was there for a while... Ramdin is a very experienced batsman, he's known in these situations for rotating strike and building an innings."
"What's happening here is, for example Fakhar, when the field spreads after the powerplay, he needs to change his game. Today they brought on Dawson because they wanted him to hit big. Not just Fakhar, all the batsmen in the top order failed to build even one innings from the start and carried it to 15-16 overs."
"The other work we do for development with LQ, I won't mix it with this. The work we do is for development of talent, here you can just bring maximum 1-2 emerging players to PSL. Here your players need to go out there and perform, your team can't win if even one batsman can't make runs. You could see that when defending 100, all bowlers look toothless since they can't build pressure."
"When we come out to play the 6th game, we will obviously come out to win."
"In 30 years of cricket, I have never seen five such consecutive failures specially in batting. Normally you can have a few failures and after that, the team turns it around. People thought we will turn it around after yesterday but again today we were flat."
"I don't think anyone should even bother asking me what happened, it's so obvious."
"Yesterday's pitch was not up to the mark as it was quite wet with low bounce, even today the bounce wasn't that consistent but that's what it is, you have to fight it out and make your way."
"I don't think that being strict will make a difference. National teams and franchise cricket is different, here they are professionals and they play 4-5 leagues, and you just need to manage them and define their roles."
