T20 World Cup 2024: Trinidad pitch created a ruckus, former veterans raised big questions calling it ‘dangerous’
The pitch was a bit dangerous. Some balls were passing around the shoulder, neck, chin height of the South African fast bowlers – Andy Flower T20 World Cup 2024, SA vs AFG (Photo Source: Getty Images) South Africa has reached the final by defeating Afghanistan by 9 wickets in the first semi-final match of T20 World Cup 2024. With this victory, the African team has created history, the team is going to play a World Cup final for the first time. But meanwhile there is a ruckus about the pitch of Trinidad. After the match, Afghanistan’s head coach Jonathan Trott had said that this was not the semi-final pitch. At the same time, South African captain Aiden Markram is happy not to play on this pitch again. The Trinidad pitch was very difficult to bat on, which the African bowlers took advantage of. And Afghanistan was all out for 56 runs in 11.5 overs. Former Australian cricketer Tom Moody and former Zimbabwean player Andy Flower have made a big statement raising questions on the Trinidad pitch. T20 World Cup 2024: Playing on the pitch was a tough challenge- Tom Moody Former Australian player Tom Moody says that there should be equal competition between ball and bat. He says that batsmen should not face a pitch where the conditions are completely against them. Tom Moody also said that it is not right for teams to score more than 200 in every match, balance is needed in every match. Talking on ESPNcricinfo, Tom Moody said, You want a fair contest between bat and ball and I am not advocating that we need pitches where you need 200+ runs. But you need consistent bounce, that is the most important thing. Any batsman will put his hand up and say, that is the most important thing. If you have a ball that is hitting the toe of your bat or a ball that you feel you are going to punch the same length with your gloves, it is a very tough challenge to counter. The pitch was a bit dangerous- Andy Flower Former Zimbabwe player Andy Flower says that the pitch had inconsistent bounce, which troubled the batsmen. Flower also said that the pitch also looked dangerous because the balls were passing around the shoulders, neck and chin of the batsmen, which could also cause injuries. Andy Flower said, As a batsman, you’re trying to predict where the ball will be. You’d like to get it somewhere in the middle of the bat at least. And on this pitch, it was almost impossible to do that on any consistent basis. It was a bit dangerous actually. Some of the balls were going past the shoulders, necks, chin height of the South African fast bowlers. And one of them even went past the head of Quinton de Kock, the keeper. And I was glad nobody got hurt.
“We have to bring such batsmen in the team who….”- Big statement by head coach after Afghanistan’s exit
We need to bring in more batsmen who can score runs by being consistent like openers and also give opportunities in the game – Jonathan Trott Jonathan Trott (Photo Source: X/Twitter) T20 World Cup 2024: Afghanistan has been eliminated from the tournament after losing the semi-final against South Africa. After this defeat, Rashid Khan and company’s dream of playing their first World Cup final has been shattered. Afghanistan has impressed everyone with its performance in the ongoing tournament. The team defeated teams like New Zealand and Australia, which would be wrong to call an upset. Meanwhile, after Afghanistan’s exit, the team’s head coach has given a big statement. Jonathan Trott says that the team will learn a lot from this World Cup. He has also expressed his displeasure over the team’s batting. The middle order has disappointed – Jonathan Trott In the semi-final match against South Africa, the team’s batting disappointed a lot. The team was all out for just 56 runs in 11.5 overs. Talking to ICC about the team’s batting, head coach Jonathan Trott said, I’m sure people will learn from this experience, we’ve got a better tournament than the last 50-over World Cup in November and it’s just about going step by step and hopefully we’ll learn from today. South Africa bowled really well and when they saw how the pitch behaved they knew how to bowl in the conditions and I think that’s bad because we haven’t really fired, the middle order batsmen haven’t fired enough in this World Cup. We have become more dependent on Gurbaz and Zadran- Head Coach The team has won every match in which the team’s openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran have given a good start. But this did not happen against South Africa, which led to the defeat. The head coach says that the team has become too dependent on Gurbaz and Zadran. There is a need to bring such batsmen in the team, who can score runs consistently like openers. We have perhaps become a little too dependent on Gurbaz and Ibrahim to score runs. Nobody else has scored runs. And we have to find the reason for this, we need to bring in more batsmen who can score runs by being consistent like openers and also give opportunities in the game. So this is our big project going forward.

“This is not the pitch you want to play a World Cup semi-final on” Head coach blames pitch for AFG’s defeat
Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott has criticized the pitch used in Trinidad for the South Africa vs Afghanistan match. He has said that this pitch was not suitable to host the T20 World Cup semi-final. Afghanistan lost to the Proteas in the semi-final. Batting first, the Afghan team collapsed for just 56 runs, which was the lowest score ever by any team in a T20 World Cup semi-final. The South African bowlers were in great form right from the start of this match, with the Trinidad pitch having some uneven bounce and lateral seam movement helping the bowlers. The situation was the same in the second innings as well and the Proteas batsmen had to deal with the same problems, but in the end they won by 9 wickets. Jonathan Trott criticised the Trinidad pitch “I don’t want to embarrass myself and I don’t want to be a case of bitter or sour grapes, but this is not the pitch you want to play a World Cup semi-final on. The pitch has taken batting completely out of the game… it should be a fair contest. I’m not saying it should be completely flat, with no spin or seam movement, I’m saying you should give opportunities to the batsmen as well,” Trott said in the post-match press conference. Trott said, “We got back to the hotel at three o’clock and then we had to leave at eight o’clock – five hours later, so we didn’t get much sleep, so the players were very tired and they had to do a lot emotionally and physically. So this was all new for the players.” Trott admitted that they were outplayed by South Africa, but we knew the schedule, so that’s no excuse. When you go into a World Cup or tournament, you can’t have everything going your way, and you have to fight and play against the odds, which you have done many times and are proud of.
“Flight delayed for 4 hours, did not get a chance to practice”- Is ICC responsible for Afghan team’s defeat in the semi-finals?
Afghanistan suffered a crushing defeat by 9 wickets in the first semi-final match. Afghanistan Cricket Team (Photo Source: X) Afghanistan had to face defeat by 9 wickets against South Africa in the first semi-final match of the T20 World Cup 2024. In this match, the culprits for Afghanistan’s defeat were their batsmen, as the team was all out for 56 runs. However, the real reason behind this was something else, which was mentioned by former great England cricketer Michael Vaughan as soon as the match started. Vaughan had posted on social media that Afghanistan’s team could lose due to two reasons. This is what happened. After Afghanistan’s defeat, Michael Vaughan’s tweet is going viral like fire. Fans are also giving their reactions on that tweet. Michael Vaughan tweeted before the first semi-final match In fact, before the Afghanistan vs South Africa semi-final match, Michael Vaughan had posted a post and wrote, “So Afghanistan qualified for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024 in St Vincent on Monday night. Their flight to Trinidad was delayed by 4 hours. So they did not get time to practice nor could they get used to the new place. I am afraid there is a complete lack of respect for the players.” In this way, he has targeted the ICC without naming it, because the schedule is made by the ICC. Let us tell you that earlier Rohit Sharma had also given his opinion about the schedule made by the ICC. So Afghanistan qualify for the WC semi winning in St Vincent on Monday night .. 4 hr flight delay on Tues to Trinidad so no time to practice or get accustomed to a new venue .. utter lack of respect to players i am afraid .. #T20WorldCup2024 — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) June 27, 2024 After the last match against Bangladesh, Afghanistan had to catch a flight in the afternoon, but the flight was four hours late. So the flight arrived late at night and they did not get time to practice. The next day they had to play in the semi-final match and this proved to be costly for the team. You will remember that many teams had raised questions on the schedule even at the beginning of the tournament. In this way, if it is said that the reason behind this poor performance of Afghanistan is the schedule of ICC, then it will not be wrong.
