1992:1 for Imran, I for inspiration
LONDON. Dec 25: Pakistan rose above some high-fbrce to win the World Club but much of the hard
work and sweat that went into. their Success also tarnished their image, reports AFP.
The key vto Pakistan’s triumph was inspired leadership by Imran Khan, and cricket’s fines! pace bowling attack in Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis.
But gossip about the way two Ws use sweat and any number of instruments to allegedly doctor the bell followed them and grew during a triumphant 1992.
Imran accused Pakistan's rivals of Jcalops rumour-moYi-gcrlng. He said: "Waqar is strong and consistently the ■ fastest bowler in the world, along with lan Bishop and possibly Allan Donald. Wasim is more talented than Waqar but not as strong."
He' is partly right about the Jealously, but the International Cricket Council still wants to stop such practices.
ICC secretary John Stephenson says something must be done and that ball doctoring will be raised at ' the world body's meeting in January Lord's. But he admitted that "at the moment the ICC is merely a kind of post office — wp have no authority in matters such as these." '
Bottle-tops, a spoon, even knives are said to have been used over, the years by bowlers to scuff up one side of ball to make it swing in the air.
Wasim and Waqar can make the ball move wickedly — and did so throughout the year — but deny strenuously they are guilty of cheating. The truth remains a secret.
At the World Cup, Pakistan started badly, but by the final, Wasim, Mlandad and Imran . were a class above their English rivals. Imran admitted that with his side reeding to win their three remaining qualifying games "morale was very low."
Bill they did it. Imran told Wasim and Aaqib Javed to for-• get their worries over wldes and no-balls and bowl like cornered tigers. Wasim bowled faster than ever. Aaqib bedevilled opponents with .the movement he generated.
And with Joint-hosts Australia knocked out in the
W geglftW1 W’d South Africa were the surprise semi-finalists with England and Pakistan.
Inzamamul Haq cattle In with Pakistan needing 123 from 15 overs to beat the Kiwis but he blasted 60 off 37 balls to put his side oh the way to a comfortable four wicket win.
Controversy Tilt the other semi-final. Sunny Sydney was hit by a rainstorm .with South Africa needing 22 runs form 1'3 balls lo defeat England. Ten minutes later when the two-teams returned, bizarre rain regulations meant the target was upped to 21 runs from one ball. r
for a duck and from 69-4, England were luckily to get within 22 runs of their target of 249
Imran lifted the trophy before the .87,(500 crowd and said II had been the most fulfilling moment of his long career.
-He announced his retirement from cricket at the end of Pakistan's tour of'England when they scored a fourth straight Test scries win, two matches to one.
Imran did not take part but ^c gave strong defence of the
England were as bemused as the Springboks were angered at the Way they missed the final In a spectacular return to world cricket.
Even the Australian crowd jeered th'e decision — using a format devised for the benefit of television — and the Brits In Ihe Sydney Cricket Ground Joined in a rousing chorus for the South Africans on their lap of honour.

Aaqib Javed was fined half his match fee for intimidatory bowling In the third” T«sL And when Pakistani tour manager Intikhab Alam accused umpire Roy Palmer of being "rude and Insulting" at his protesting players, he too was reprimanded. A '
England batsman Allan Lamb dealt a new blow - to Anglo-Pakistan cricketing relations when he alleged in a tabloid article that the two Ws were "cheats."
Lamb was in turn fined 5,000 pounds (7,500 dollars) by the Test and County Cricket Board arid I .^jo' pOtiftd'E^'hii Northamptonshire club for hiS outburst. Others have since
backed him, even if they have not condemned the Pakistani stare.
Micky Stewart refused, after. Pakistan wrapped up the series at the Oval, to condemn.' or clear the pace pair. He made his reasons obvious and admitted: "Yes, I know ihe ^lethod. 1 won t spread It around because once we 'perfect it.:..
He added that England had discussed the freak swinging of the Pakistani bowlers. "We know how they do IL 1 just want England to produce bowlers who are as effective as Waqar and Wasim,"
Even during the one-day scries, won 4-1 by England, the controversy would not go away. The umpires changed the ball during the third match at Lord's but the reason has been kept secret.
New Zealand tqam manager Ian Taylor repeated the doctoring allegations and Television New Zealand had to apologise after its proposal to set up a camera to Apot Pakistan cricketers with a bol-tletop caused a storm during their current tour.
. Waqar was again Involved when the TCCB fined Surrey county club for doctoring. But he and Wasim have threatened libel action against the ICC Ihe body's refusal to condemn or clear.
While Pakistan were laying into the third Test umpires, David Gower was passing Geoff Boycott's record of 8,114 runs for England and going into fifth place in the world.
Gower was, however, considered too old for England's tour of India in the new year even if South Africa rebels like Mike Gattlng and John Em-burey are making their Test comebacks.
Pakistan captain Javed Mlandad and Australian skipper Allan Border are still above Gower in the rankings and still playing Test cricket.
Miandad is also closing on Sunil Gavaskar's Test record aggregate of runs and is favourite to carry on In charge of the world champions, no matter what. Jealous rivals may say. as they- become one of South Africa's new visitors in 1993.
Like other sports. South Africa have found their return to the International stage not plain sailing. But tn bowler Allan Donald and upcoming b&smah Jonty Rhode's they have some world beatefs of the future..
