With due appologies to all Imran lovers, he was/is dirty
and does play rotten politics in cricket.  No matter what
this 'khan family' is not going to give us a break.  Look
at the trio:  Javed Burki, Majid Khan and the great Imran
Khan.  If anyone has listened to JB's comments on different
cricketers in PTV's commentary box one can easily judge him
a complete idiot.  The magistic Majid was good and is 
very much articulate but politics is too deep down into his
soul.  He was the person, who first opposed to play under
Miandad and Imran was also in that camp.  He projected himself
as a saint by saying that he has no problem playing under
Miandad but in fact he never missed a chance to blow at JM.
It was Imran who said before the WC that there is going to 
be no gap if Miandad can not play and the punjabi toola has
literally dropped him.  Shame to those suckers who are now
claiming themselves as the World champions which was completely
out of question with out JM.  I hope the memories of the WC-92
semi final and final are still clear in hundreds of minds.  

If the achievements of IK's are endless so does his cricket
crimes.  He has destroyed careers of many good players b'cos
of his ego.  Netters on this ng are sick asking why Salim Yousuf
is sacked but if they know the tragedy behind they will curse
IK.  He first claimed that Shoaib is not for one day then 
slowly he kicked him out of the test side.  Qasim Omar was his
second pry after Mohsin Khan and JM is his last with numerous
in between. Exclusion of Zaheer Abbass from the final test
against India in Karachi was also in his account.  The behaviour of
Imran Khan was phenominal when he was playing under Asif Iqbal in 
India. You will shortly hear Asif Mujtaba out of the list and many 
of you know the reason????? 
It was not long ago when Imran made his claim that he has finally won the 
world cup at the end of his career.  No credit was given to any member 
of the team including JM for his outstanding performance throughout the
WC, even Gavasker was gracious enough to give JM due credit. No 
appraisal for the austrailian croud and many others who cheered for 
Pakistan the whole day.  Even the english men was generous enough who 
thanked the OZ crowd who was more inclined towards Pakistan.  Those were the
history making moments with Imran being ignorant and selfish. But the
Khan is so great that he feels no moral obligation and is above any
criticism.  Those who understand HINDI or Urdu might have noticed what 
Ramiz, Mushtaq and Inzamam were chanting at the closing ceremony. Many
netters have objection to frog jumping but look at the cheapness of these 
ambassadors of Pakistan who were chanting for houses and plots infront of
millions for their performance.    

There is a problem with the Pakistanis that they make their 
bubble gods invincible and Imran is one of them.  As long as he is 
living we have to live with his rotten politics.
There is another big problem with the bureaucracy that they want
punjabs quota in every walk of life.  No matter how badly a player
is playing but if he is a punjabi no person on earth can
kick him out of the team.  We have seen Imran playing with one
leg for more than a year. The itching Salim Malik is from that
quota and we have to live with his elegant style.  Look at the whole
lineup and you can easily find that punjabs quota is maintained
with great care and forced on us that cricket is not popular in other
parts of the country, whatta punjabi trio.  Whenever JM or Zaheer was made
captain, punjab toola was working against them and by making Akram as
the captain of the side they have proved their mentality and showed
us how low they can go. 

Believe it or not in many circles (other than punjabi) the sacking
of Miandad was expected.  Punjab selection committee has made his
move, now we have to wait and see when they gonna lick their salaiva 
from the floor.
