**Absolute rubbish, says Ramiz **
**- Miandad claims he stopped a revolt on the eve of 1992 World Cup semi-final **

Bangalore: Ramiz Raja, one of the architects of Pakistan’s 1992 World Cup win, has rubbished Javed Miandad’s claim that he and Wasim Akram started a revolt against Imran Khan’s leadership on the eve of the semi-final versus New Zealand and that he (Miandad) had to step in.
“That’s absolute rubbish… I always had very high regard for Imran as captain… I don’t know the basis for such a claim being made back home… Surely, people are aware of the relationship Javed had with Imran,” a less than amused Ramiz told The Telegraph on Thursday evening.
Ramiz, a former captain like Miandad and Akram, added: “Actually, Javed is perfectly qualified to talk on revolts… He saw three against him, the first when he was captain and twice when he was Pakistan’s coach…
“Javed has spoken of trouble before the semi-final and that’s the match where Imran promoted himself to No.3 and we had a lovely 54-run partnership… We wouldn’t have had one if I’d been leading a revolt till the previous evening.”
Ramiz, incidentally, was Pakistan’s second-highest scorer (behind Miandad) in that World Cup, while Akram took the maximum wickets and topped the averages.
Without substantiating, Miandad told a TV channel on Wednesday night that Imran’s “domineering attitude” had sparked the revolt and that Ramiz and Akram had the support of others in the dressing room.
Obviously, Miandad patted himself on the back. “…But I stepped in and convinced the players to play under the captaincy of Imran… God then gave us success…”
Shades of a typical Miandad script.

Indeed, his so-called revelation may have something to do with Imran now being an opposition leader. Miandad, as is well known, is a sympathiser of a party which is supporting the Establishment.

A.B.S.O.L.U.T.E.L.Y…wrong!!!
It was RAMIZ RAJA himself who was in forefront against Imran.. and was provoking a revolt…a day before our semis with New Zealand.

I have known JM since 1983 the birth of Sharjah Series… he may be anything…but I know for the fact that he is NOT a liar…
