It was buddy, we were in great hands when you wrote that comment. Our economy was booming, unemployment lowest, poverty alleviation actually working. Now he’s out of the office and we’re back to being a doomed country with a inefficient economy on the brink of default.

[@aperson2730]

Habeeb Basha Hello, Geoffrey Boycott agrees with you :-)

[@garypowell1540]

I fully understand what Imran Khan is saying and agree with him 100%. However as an umpire myself often I have been called upon to umpire my own son's or club's games, so could be considered anything but disinterested or neutral. They are soon undeceived. The problem is when it is undoubtedly out, I put my figure up, which very few amateur umpires will do, out of nothing other than fear. I have umpired entire games where I have not given one LBW and others where I have given 6 or 7 in one inning. It is not until you are out there umpiring a game containing 22 grown men all of which want to win like their lives depend on it and would rather have all of their teeth extracted than get out, can you possibly imagine the pressure an umpire is under. One needs the courage of a Lion, skin as thick as a Rhinoceros, and preferably a sidearm for protection. Good umpiring is often what produces the best games, and ensures that the most skillful team usually ends up winning. Bad umpiring destroys good bowlers' will to live, never mind bowl properly. Can easily make bad batting more profitable than good batting. Without the LBW rule being properly applied the game can become farcical, and often does. It never does when I am in the middle. If it is out in my opinion, it is out, simple as. If I was in any doubt my finger would not have gone up in the first place. "I am the umpire so it is only my opinion that counts, as that is the laws of the game of Cricket, so best you bugger off now, or you will receive a fine." To be fair to the players after they have thrown their bats around the changing room a few times cursed all that is Holy, as well as their own mothers, and calmed down, many of them will gladly concede that they were very likely out, or they did indeed get a thin edge or not, and actually start acting like a gentleman again, but on the field of battle, no quarter is given and little expected. I have been accused of being blind, deaf, stupid, sadistic, crazy, indeed you imagine it I have been accused of it except one thing. By the end of the game, I have NEVER been accused of being partial to one team or the other. My reputation has been known to go before me. The reason for this is simple. I am so busy concentrating on doing my job I can't pay any attention to which team or individual is even batting or bowling, or the score for that matter, even if I wanted to do so. So much so that I have given my own son out, and not realized I had done so until after the game. Indeed being a cricket umpire requires so much concentration that I have difficulty in understanding how umpires can be partial to one side or the other, there is simply far too much other stuff to concentrate on.

[@88omair]

One of the most accomplished people that I've ever seen, in all aspects. From cricket legend to Prime Minister. Always against the odds, always mocked and ridiculed. Yet he persevered and now has the last laugh.

[@tahirzaman9538]

DaPakiGuy 8 year? Omg

[@abdulshafaq7157]

He is more than all round

[@yasirAli-gz8wm]

varun he told in the very begining "ind never won in Pak and and so did pak"...means umpires of both countries were biased

[@rahuldev1541]

Nice to hear him...but there was a Pakistani umpire Shakoor Rana who was almost knocked down by Mike Gatting because of his biased decisions. Every country prior to 90s had this allegation of biased umpiring. I'm really gald that today the umpires are being selected by ICC and we have at least some level of common playground.

[@Waseemashraf1979]

Rahul Dev dear this incident happened due to the behaviour of mike getting while bowler was on the middle of runer up he was setting field shakoor rana stopped him to do this he started abusing shakoor rana thats why shakoor rana stopped and ask that first mike getting should do written appologise then he will start the but mike refused and series got packed ok donot say anything if you donot know anything ok

[@rahuldev1541]

+Wasi ash Brother you know the rules of changing field in cricket. Fielding side has to inform the batsmen for any sudden change in field at the time of bowling which Gatting did to Salim Mallik who was playing. This is just like a batsman informing a wickekeeper before he leaves the crease. And more so ever these kind of decisions are made on the complaint of batsman if he is not aware. Square leg umpire has no business in these matters of their own. There is no Suo Moto on cricket field. And this one incident actually was just the proverbial last straw on a camel's back as this series(the test before this one) was also a subject of poor umpiring. There is no mud slinging here just the thing that the umpiring in those times were pathetic and biased towards the host country. Every country umpires favored their's and now the things are much more better.

[@hidayat77705]

But brother that was then Imran khan who raised voice for neutral umpires. And now with DRS the fans belief is improved.

[@emusman5225]

Watch the part 1 of this video. He started the topic by saying the same thing

[@salmanshah3846]

Imran khan was the one who forced icc in that time for neutral umpires .
