totally chilling partyGuyz. The 1982 series was a historic turning point for Pakistan, and my recollection is much more pleasant than that of the blogger being discussed.
I agree with you 100 percent GoldenAsif: the mental resilience of Imran and Javed was a gift lucky enough for fate to grant once and twice. Its what Imran used to call the “fighting spirit” that was a prerequisite to play in the team back then. The belief that one can win.

I cant find the Link but Yousuf and Younis also have a record for most runs batting together. They are too good not to take Pakistan in to victory more than once in a series once the bowling does the job.
Lots of good things to take away from the game:
Amers fantastic debut, 6/112
Raufs fine debut although over shadowed by Amer. 3/108 & 44 runs.
Saeed Ajmal fitting into the spinner role. 5/113
Younis discovering his medium pace bowling. 4/50
MoYo making a fitting return for someone ranked #1. 124 runs. (almost 30 % of total runs scored)
Its a three game series after all, and Pakistan are the most dangerous when down and counted out.
