12th man story

Former Pakistan cricketers Shoaib Akhtar and Rashid Latif have slammed Pakistan team management after ex-Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed performed 12th man duties on Day 2 of the first Test match against Pakistan in Manchester. I also performed the duties of a 12th man, when I was captain and was sitting out in a match against Australia. "This type of discussion can only happen in Pakistan. This is not team spirit, but this greatness of Sarfaraz because he is passionate about the game. The term is based on the atmosphere a set of fans can generate and the effect it can have on a match.In football, one team is made up of 11 players, so the 12th man refers to the team's supporters - insinuating that the fans have a role in encouraging or motivating their side to perform better or score goals.The presence of the 12th man is especially prevalent at a team's home ground, where the majority of the stadium is filled with their own supporters to make for a home advantage.Actions such as singing chants, cheering, clapping and general positive feedback toward a team is said to have a significant influence on the players.Booing the opposition team or jeering players from the other team to make them lose focus will also add to a stadium's atmosphere.The importance of the 12th man is especially prevalent in knockout competitions such as the If a team has lost the first leg of a knockout competition away at the opposition ground, such as the quarter-final or semi-final, they would then have the home advantage of the second leg.The side, then, could use the motivation of their fans and familiarity of their home stadium to even out the tie.This is why playing the second leg of a two-legged knockout tie at home is considered to be a massive advantage in football.Theoretically, a club typically would perform better if they are at home, where the presence of the 12th man is even greater.All hope seemed to be lost, but the Reds managed to use the power of Anfield's 12th man when they scored four goals in the return leg to win the tie 4-3 on aggregate, knocking out the Spanish champions and eventually winning the Champions League. Later in the match the Champions Trophy-winning captain was also seen carrying drinks for his teammates, who were all over the hosts England by the end of Day 2 at Old Trafford.The incident did not go unnoticed by the fans, commentators and especially by former Pakistan cricketers, who have slammed Pakistan team management for showing disrespect to the Karachi-born.Shoaib Akhtar said he didn't like the visuals and it was wrong if an attempt was being made to mock Sarfaraz Ahmed.

If you want to make an example out of a boy from Karachi, then it is wrong. He knows that it is a team game.

I am not saying carrying the shoes is a problem, but former captain can’t do that,” Shoaib Akhtar said.Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Rashid Latif was also far from appreciating the Pakistan team management but hailed the "greatness" of Sarfaraz, who was sacked from captaincy and then dropped from the team last year after the 2019 World Cup.Rashid Latif questioned Pakistan's team spirit as well, pointing out that veteran pacers Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz did not even care to wear the Pakistani cricket kit and were loitering around in their track suits. The term is based on the atmosphere a set of fans can generate and the effect it can have on a match.
