They did better than India. They lost 3-0 since there were only 3 tests played !!!
Are traitors!!! Also kudos to the desi media person who asked that question to him on Sachin and also the audience who would have clapped on hearing Imran views on Sachin..Nothing can be much done of these mentality...
But what he says makes sense. He was a Cricketer par exellence, and was unparalleled as a leader. The way he motivated his team to win the Bangaluru Test against India in 1987 after being bundled out for 116 in the first innings, was quite unique, and should make us respect him regardless of our like or dislike of him. He is rightly blaming the way BCCI have been running the game in the country.
If IPL is that bad why are the Pakis complaining about their non-inclusion? Get off your sanctimonious Test Cricket high horse Mr. Khan. If 20/20 was played during your time you would be playing it too. Like everything else Cricket changed over time. If Test Cricket is so great how come only 10 countries in the world play it? 20/20 has been around only for the last few years. Is there any dispute which format is more popular? These dinosaurs live in the past and fear change.

Indeed. Imran would have been silent had Pakis been playing the IPL
Mr. Imran is only talking this becouse there Team had won against England at Dubai which is not less than Pakistani home ground.
Why Sachin/Dravid/Laxman shoould leave Cricket so early before completion of there desire to serve the Country. All the Indian Cricketers know that they take retirement only once in there life. They are not like Pakistani cricketers who take the retirement emotionally and then after some time they comes back and expose there unprofessional behaviour.
I back up here our cricketers that they should think that what is appropriate time and give their plan to BCCI for back up. Onc it is done they shall quit the game professionally.
