Re: Imran survived revolt at 1992 World Cup -Miandad
Lolz @ Faisal bhai. I was ofcourse referring to his ‘bhanja’ who apparently gets an earful from Miandad over the phone everytime he fails 
I feel sorry for Faisal Iqbal for having to put up with this nuisance.
Miandad saying this now makes me believe that he was indeed the main culprit or villain in all this so called ‘revolt’ who was playing some kind of dirty games behind Imran’s back. Hence Miandad got what he deserved. The players revolted against him in early 1993 and Wasim Akram took over as captain even though Pakistan won the test series in England 2-1 in 1992 and the one-off test in NZ 1-0 in 1992/3.
Also if you remember Miandad was n’t even named in the original World Cup squad and Imran Khan when asked by some reporter at the airport before the team’s departure for Australia said something like ‘Miandad has been ‘dropped’ because he is out of form but he may join the squad later.’ This shows that their relationship had turned sour even before the main event.
Pakistan left for Australia 3 weeks or so before the world cup all credit to intelligent thinking and planning by Imran Khan. He insisted on going there early to help the players acclimatise to the tough Australian conditions and the board gave in to his sensible demand. Infact Pakistan were the first team to arrive in Australia for that world cup.
