Mirza iqbal Baig was not at all at ease or comfortable talking about anything other then talking shop. Never considered him as a sports journalist, but thought of him as a good tabloid reporter covering the sports desk. Shehzad is really good at conversations.
The questions raised by shehzad were amazing. The way Mirza tried to deflect the things coming on to him ended up exposing him further in my opinion. These TV journalists need to realise, not everyone is a fool. Its a new world out there where access to platforms is not limited. And it's the mentality of people like mirza that is pulling people away from TV and towards young journalists. Keep up the good work Shehzad. We are sick and tired of these toxic people.
The only podcast in Pakistan that has the balls to invite guests and then criticize them (in a respectful manner) on their face. Great stuff Shahzad.. Thank you.
Dude! I'm running out of hats to tip to you. Your line up of guests is SO eclectic and SO impressive 👏 You should have a million subscribers by now. It's a crying shame that it isn't, but I don't have a shred of doubt in my mind that you're on your way to that coveted 1 mill mark. Onwards and upwards!

hats off shahzad bhai!!!!! i am just halfway through podcast and this is my 1st comment on any youtube channel and trust me you made me do it man, each and every thing on point man hats offff. you got my respect bhai great work. looking forward to more bangers from you.
I started my cricket reporting career in 1983 for a Calcutta English daily. Pakistan was playing 3 tests and I met Javed Miandad who became my friend. Absolutely a gorgeous guy. The others I met were Zaheer Abbas, etc and Asif Iqbal was a commentator. Those were days.
Kia banda hai yr. Me fan tera bhai. Itna mene kisi ko counter krte hue nhi dekha mene host ko. Or wo b Mirza Iqbal Baig k against.wow wow wow. You are a champ bro.
Well done Shahzad & team. A very sincere effort to dig deep and bring out some inside information about Pakistan Cricket, Cricketers, media/sports journalists and the way Pakistan cricket is being run. It could have been more informative , had Mirza Iqbal Baig shown some gutts to reveal more of what he knows. He seemed very defensive as well as irritated at times, during the entire prodcast. I know Mirza Iqbal Baig from his early days in sports journalism, infarct I know him from his first ever commentary stint in a Nazimabad Super cup game at Bakhtiari Youth Center. I played Cricket for Karachi from 1986-1992 before moving abroad, for higher studies ( since then I have been outside Pakistan but follow Pak Cricket very closely) . Played cricket for few years in England, as well. Mirza Iqbal Baig has come a long way. With due respect to him he himself is an arrogant and rude person, who can't take any criticism , gets angry and at time vindictive.He was never a likeable individual within cricket fraternity. He never liked anyone, correcting him for his mistakes ( which we all make). But all credit to him for making a name for himself , against all odds. Not to mention how he did it??? I can write much more but let's not drag this further and save something for later. You and your entire team deserves all the accolades for your efforts. Stay blessed and stay safe -
Finally a podcaster who is not afraid or intimidated by the guest and openly disagrees whenever required! Its rare to see that in our pakistani podcasts! Quiet common in the west but it was refreshing to see it happen in our pakistani podcast channels! Keep up the great work!! 👍

His ignorance and pettiness is glaringly evident from how he is approaching the questions and how he is responding to those questions. That kind of mentality is what’s wrong with Pakistan Cricket.
The Questions raised by Shahzad relating to the host and their criticism of cricketers are so valid and brave by his side. These questions are already in my head before I watch this. More power to you❤
Glad to get him on the show so we get to know the mentality of this gen. Couldnt even defend the logic of his many criticisms, instead tried getting dirt on shehzad
This was a great podcast and a much needed reflection on our sports journalism! We treat it the same way we treat our politics, which is totally killing the spirit of the game.
Ramiz Raja is been talking about how Stupid and Propaganda driven our Sports Journalists are and I was thinking that Ramiz is just bitter after the Sack, but This Guy Just proved everything Ramiz said right
@Md. Jasim yeah sure because any PCB head is made by PM... but Ramiz never made “political” decisions. Like he was always quietly critical of Babar but in public fully backed him & never interfered. And Now? Same people, political driven, who were attacking Ramiz for YEARS for being internally not fully behind Babar & now attacking both like vultures. Why? Because their political daddies have told them so! So they used to attack Ramiz, mainly because he was Imran’s friend but openly pretended they are attacking Ramiz because he’s not sufficiently supportive of Babar... are now attacking BOTH!! Sports “journalists” in Pakistan as an absolute joke & utterly corrupt & delusional.
This is what the level of Pakistan's journalist is(total crap). He also rightly explained that Zaka Ashraf already laid the ground work for PSL but sethi takes the credit.
@Md. Jasim These decisions are always political, I'm not here to defend Ramiz. I didn't like most of his policies but in this case he was absolutely spot on. These journalists needed to be put in their place. These guys are used to players like our ex players who used to leak team information to these guys so they can run their agendas, now they are not getting this information. You can have any criticism against current Pakistan squad but you have to accept the fact that this is probably the most United unit we've ever had. These journalists and most ex cricketer don't like that because they can't run their agendas now (I mean now they can as Sethi Saab is back).
Bro, why are you so confrontational with all of your guests, 1) Atif Mian 2) Muzammil and now 3) Mirza Iqbal. These 3 podcasts I've seen and there is a common theme of your confrontation and rude behavior. Also i want to add, bro I think there is an identity crisis going on here, you are not a hard hitting journalist asking guests tough questions, you are a comedian doing a podcast, if you keep that into perspective I'm sure you will do wonders. Please don't take this the wrong way, its a sincere advice. Wish you all the best.
Everyone is criticising the guest, remember one thing, he lives in Pakistan. The host as always is so so good. Remember guys, just imagine if you would have been sitting in front of shehzad, would you smile? The questions and the answers do make sense. At least to me. Please gaali mat dena.
This was so well done, I came to listen to this highly frustrated and disappointed with the current negativity around our players and the uncertainity on captains, PCB and selectors. Hoping this reaches more ears and we come back to a semblance of sanity on the one good thing bringing the nation together positively over the last 3 years :)
It’s really hypocritical that he talking about Hassan Ali off the field issues which I agree with him. But wasim, waqar, Imran and other great player also did the same.
As an Indian viewer I have to say that this is one of the most honest and candid interviews on Pakistan cricket. Kudos to both the interviewer and the guest for being completely honest and candid about everything. All Pakistani talk shows are entertaining but this one was very sensible and professional.
Although I am watching this show 11 months later... but what beautiful way you ran the show... God bless!!! Prophetic at times.... like the way you talked about 'Pavillion' ...as a show!!! Sad that I missed it then!!!❤❤
Great Podcast... every question from you is a bouncer to Mirza Iqbal Sahab.. Yes he is one of the great sports journalist but you making him uncomfortable... In cricket term you are unplayable.... hats off👍
The host sounds far more logical, unbiased and intelligent than the guest. Seems like the guest has personal vendetta and part of some mafia, Ramiz Raja was right. Hats off to the host. This was my first experience on this channel and agree with views of the host.
Sir, I have watched only 2 of the posts by you....full episodes of more than an hour each. I appreciate and simply love your clarity of mind for most of the issues you raise. Hardly see enough Pakistani channels like this, would appreciate references in reply to this comment. For this kind of an attitude, love from India and Indians too
You are one hell of a host. I salute you. You are such a nice person. I watch your show first time. This Mirza guy is mischievous. He should be ashamed of himself. Be honest man mr. Mirza.. you are looking yourself a lower middle class man. Really lower middle class. I rather say you don't have any class
Cricket in the subcontinent is often compared to living in a small town village, where everyone is familiar with each other and aware of the latest news and gossip. In such close-knit communities, individuals prioritize groupings, politicizing and by overlooking or ignoring significant issues...... 5 test playing nations but 5 million groups..😢😮
Pure boomer answer to every question. These type of uncles are found in very profession in pakistan and have destroyed youth with their arrogamce and toxicity. Bhai dobara mat bolana iqbal baig ko is podcast pe
Hats of tonshehzad the way u grill these monoplist journalists who had the monoply from decades. Especially when u ask him abt why u guys not let new people in, the response from guest was absolute joke. Well done
toxicity towards their own players also increased due to the economics of you tube .A lot of channel like to go over the top criticism because indians watch their videos and an embarrassing defeat of pak gives them lakhs of views and thousands of superchat in one single day ...they make 3 videos a day all with super chat qn..
Even with such crippled mechanism and management, pak team gives big teams a run for their money. Babar shatters records with every match he plays, our pacers confounding the world with unreal pace at unripe ages. No one is unaware that Pakistan has the best bowling attack, babar is the best batter across formats, shaheen is on the cusp of greatness. Pak future is bright inshallah
This is the main reason for our demise. We have given too much authority to the media and journalists. While the people of use are neglected. We have been making selections on the basis of the media for quite some time They cry if someone is not picked and then cry again if he doesn't perform in international format. In a similar way they will cry if you have picked someone out of their favor and when that same guy perfoms they will go Gaga over his success. They all are 2 moo walay saanp.
I was looking for something like that but you tried to nail him, he was highly uncomfortable and simply managed it with a cunny smile. Ge was playing a victim card almost everywhere. Iss hamam mein sub nangay hein tou beigh sahib kaisay bach saktay hein. You nailed it with conviction. All the best.
you could've talk and ask much more thing about cricket and backend things other than controversial stuff, but because lack of knowledge of stats and digging the old same suff you missed many things. he is well educated Media person.. would love to talk to him regarding cricket.
Muhammad Yousuf might have asked to remove grass from local pitches but he still scored tons of runs on England pitches in the same year. He was in phenomenal touch that year but sadly he was forcibly retired after just two years. Too bad!
It's such a simple thing, analise and give weitage to opinion of different people's recommendations...coach captain analyst even public opinion and those who score max should automatically be selected. Use tech....and emotions .... A mix of both and get the best of both the worlds
Least favorite episode so far, Shehzad. Mirza sb's obsession with irrelevant details and quick jumps to statements making no sense are the reasons why people stopped following him. And then this stereotype that there is no alternative to Tajurba! Socha the podcast pe bhai tv se thora different bolengay. The funniest part, he eventually agreed with you over things that he initially disagreed with for a good few minutes. Please try inviting Sohaib Alvi.
I respect Mr. Mirza however, I disagree with him here, he criticized rameez for not communicating with the rest of the people, well u have to keep your distance from the rest when u are in a certain position. Moreover, me ramiz increased the fees and monthly salaries of first-class cricketers. Also, regarding pitches, he is right for bringing in drop in pitches as the recent pitches in home tests matches have failed to create any excitement for Pakistan cricket. Overall, rameez tenure is way better than najam and even better than sheryar khan's era, who was running the show with Wasim khan. And last but not least Shazad and Junaid Akram are the best 2 podcasters at the moment.
58:00 onwards. i was watching that match on tv and we were shocked what the hell he was doing. Now i realized what the hell was wrong there. I highly appreciate misbah. Misbah ny ussay phir over he nhe dia and bahir bhej dia..It was unbelievable us waqt itni cricket ki samjh nhe the but that was spot fixing for sure. Otherwise abdul rehman was very talented wo aas paas bhe nhe bhatka team ky after that.
