I would like to take the opportunity to discuss the issue which defined world cricket in the 1980s – the rebel tours of South Africa. My views will be controversial, but are not intended to cause offence.
Western public opinion tolerated racial discrimination and segregation in the USA, South Africa and parts of Australia well into the 1960s. The recent death of English PM Margaret Thatcher illustrates this: she sincerely believed that the whites had built South Africa and that black people had a different role in society, a lower role.
South Africa was thrown out of world cricket in 1970 when they ruled the world on the pitch. They had the world’s best two batsmen (Barry Richards and Graeme Pollock) and the world’s best fast-bowling all-rounder in Mike Procter. Throughout the 1970s they were excluded from world cricket, and with their government moving ever further towards right-wing racial extremism it was obvious that a long period of exclusion lay ahead....

If pakistan was to face Australia in its current form in tests, what could have been the result of a three match test series? Lets say away and home.

Speaking exclusively to PakPassion.net, Basit Ali expressed his typically forthright views on a variety of topics including Misbah-ul-Haq’s role in the Pakistan team, the road ahead for Umar Akmal and Pakistan's squad for the Champions Trophy 2013. He also had some strong words for the ex Chairman of the PCB, Ijaz Butt.
New Zealand must have been wondering what they ever did to Inzamam-ul-Haq as him and Aamer Sohail put on a record 263 runs for the 2nd wicket in the 2nd Semi-Final of the Pepsi Austral-Asia Cup.

Zaheer Abbas played almost 11 years of one day cricket but shockingly only played 62 ODIs due to amount of ODIs played per year.
He has got a fantastic record , averaging 47.62 with a strike of almost 85. It amazing to have such good rate strike rate in that era with such a good average. How good was Zaheer Abbas compared to modern One Day batsmen?

3 finals as captain in 2013 alone - 3 victories for Misbah. Just knows how to get his hands on silverware. That's why you play the game. To win matches, series and tournaments.

Nasir Jamshed and Umar Akmal are two players that are some of the first names that go on every fan's playing XI for the Champions Trophy and both have had horrid runs in the President's Cup.

At 36 years old, is age not on the side of the wicket-keeping opener who's leading the run charts of the current President's Cup?
