Rivalries in Pakistan cricket

The history of cricket in Pakistan is littered with rivalries between the players.

Here are some of them:

Abdul Hafeez Kardar, the first captain of Pakistan, could not get along with Haneef Mohammad.

Sarfraz Nawaz and Asif Iqbal were not in good terms.

Javed Miandad and Imran Khan were not the best of friends.

Wasim and Waqar were never the best of chums.

Rashid Latif and Saleem Malek too turned enemies.

Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif are the latest in a long list of rivalries.

The beauty is, despite the acrimony between players they managed to win a World Cup and are feared opponents in Test match cricket.

Sometimes, these rivalries spill out into the field and they self-destruct, giving rise to charges of match fixing.

Don't forget our 'terrific' bowlers

It is but natural to conclude that we won the match, because we bowled the last five balls precisely.

Surely, that is condensing the truth.

Our bowlers were superb, excepting my pet peeve Agarkar. They fought tooth and nail and brought the match to a great end.

Don't you think our bowlers were great throughout the innings?
