As a pre-cursor to the tsunami of Saturday, there was a thunderstorm in most parts of Pakistan, on Friday.

An out of the world tribute to a Pakistani

Imran Khan is the most patriotic person I have met and he would die for his country.

An excerpt (page 173-4) from the book “Sir Vivian The Definitive Autobiography” by VIV RICHARDS with Bob Harris.

“The gentleman (Imran Khan) who was to become a renowned name in the world of cricket and a serious politician did not like what he saw that day. Fortunately, like many of these incidents, it was soon forgotten and since then I have come to know him. I respect his views and I went to a party at his house while on tour in Pakistan. Whenever we are around we try to get together, as we did during the recent World Cup in England. We definitely didn’t like one another at first, but gradually as we matured and got to know each other better we realised the world is a lot bigger than anything we have to offer and we started to respect each other. He was one of the fiercest competitor and, no matter how well you were batting, he would always have a delivery which could come and destroy you. I respect him and his cricketing views; and if the Pakistan side had a leader they looked up to and respected like they did him, they would be a much better and more consistent team than they are now. He always managed to squeeze the best out of his team. He (IMRAN KHAN) and Miandad are two of the most patriotic individuals I have met, and I can identify with that.
I am quite certain you wouldn’t be hearing stories about match fixing and other bad things if they were at the helm.
BOTH WOULD DIE FOR THEIR COUNTRY.”
