Love the fact that the host didn’t hesitate to ask tough questions and laid it out to him straight up !

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.

Mirza and his mentality is exactly what is wrong with pakistan cricket and the older generation of pakistan, who don’t let new people go ahead

Hatsoff to the anchor for taking up with this self-righteous cricket analyst

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.

After listening to Mirza I feel like our whole sports media is just like a Mafia.

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!

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.

I am watching this for the first time and very impressed with the host. Calm, to-the-point, no flowery talk. Good stuff

Such a pleasure to listen to someone whose sheen and qaaf are spot on. And Urdu laced with Urdu muhavras.

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.

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.

Back to back bangers 🔥 , would love to see more conversations with people from other fields apart from politics

Shahzad Bhai you nailed it, wow, many a times he was reluctant and speechless. But very polite and sensible

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

Your podcast keeps on getting better. Kudos to you and the line up of your guests.

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

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.

Unbiased. Wonderful podcast. Shahzad asked the tough questions.

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.

The host totally nailed it.

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 -

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.

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!! 👍

Ramiz was right about sport journalism in pakistan.

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❤

Cricket 🏏 - Dream of million youths. Cut-throat competition. 😕

This a very funny interview. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you, Shehzad.

This is a damn good interview. If Pakistan has at least 10% of people like Shehzad, Pakistan would be much better nation.

How Mirza changed topic from Hassan Ali to the stand up comedy was obvious

Shehzad you are so good at confrontation! I just love you ❤️

Hats of to you! Expose these Blackmailers who want to ruin the image of Babar Azam, Rizwan, Shadab.

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 :)

This guy is a textbook proof of why Pakistan's cricket is in decline. The way he spoke about analysts vs selectors.

First time listened this host,really impressed.very nice personality..

Shehzad bhai respect+ yarrr.

I chanced upon your channel and loved it! The discussion with Mirza Iqbal Baig Saab was enlightening and free-flowing. Love and respect from India

A great discussion! Very good way of asking direct questions. Host 👏

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!!!❤❤

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.

You are good Shahzad, keep up the good work. Pakistan needs more like you, much more

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👍

Such a lovely discussion....I am loving it....

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.

your podcasts are inspirational

You are doing great bro It was a great interview

contrary to my impressions, MIB tu kaafi toxic banda hai. Shehzad sounded reasonable for the first time ever

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

3:15 so so so true about Rameez

I like this edgy, and frank conversations. Both, host and guest deserve credit.

Ajj to bhai sari maray dil ki baain kr dien👍🏻👍🏻

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..😢😮

Shehzad man, your show is amazing, your comment on sports shows is absolutely true

Very well prepared host.. kudos

Good interviewee.

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

Mirza’s mentality is exactly what’s wrong with our cricket journalists

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

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.

Shahzad ask great potcast. Unfortunately not 1 Million.

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

Good humor and good talks

The way Mirza sahab speaks Urdu, it is music to my ears.

Brutally honest Shehzaad!! Keep it up!!

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..

Shahzad bhaaaai, nice but please request Haider Azhar, Rehan Ul Haq, Rashid Latif on podcast

Best show need to do more…

You are Brave....from 🇮🇳 swad aa gya

Dude, you were grilling Mirza sahab like crazy!

Im sorry but Host need to do little more homework before conducting interviews.

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.

Wonderful show

And saifi Bhai scored century today ... more respect and power to saifi Bhai... absolute champion Love from India ..♥️💯💯

The host is so nice. Love from India 🇮🇳 ♥️

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.

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

Unbiased shehzad. Great 👍. Keep it up.

I'M SURPRISED MIRZA DID NOT PLAY THE KARACHI VICTIM CARD

20:50 - waah miyaan kya ghumaya hai baat ko..jawaab nahi tha to sawaal hi badal diya 😂

Informative Good PODCASTS

Great prodcast sir

great podcast

First time listening to your podcast. Very well hosted! Bring Mohsin Ali next and ask similar questions!

Smart good question by Host

Very impressive. Mashallah. Bring new people like u. It shows that mirza sb ab aap ghar jaein

First comment on your channel. Amazing podcast. Loved how you sweetly gave him a taste of his own medicine.

MIB instinctively switches between being the interviewer and guest :)

He is the only person I think is serious sports journalist in Pakistan

Mirza sahab is typical chacha. Sick mentality. It is just the start of podcast and I can't listen to it anymore.

Appreciated to defend Hassan and co.

so ramiz raja was right... after hearing him all will agree

Crisp podcast

An amazing host.

Matches aaj bhi delay telecast pr hi aate hain

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!

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.

18:32 Consistency is important. Reminded me of MSD. That man is different.

MIB is great host.

Mirza exposed to every level in this podcast. Please call Rehan gm of Islamabad united Will be one of the great podcast in history of Pakistan sport's
