Former Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan is set to become Pakistan's new prime minister after winning the majority in the recent pakistani assembly elections.


As a cricketer he excelled as a fast bowler , all-rounder and captain and is considered the finest captain allrounder in cricketing history. He forged the pakistani team into a formidable team and led it to its maident world cup victory in 1992 after which he retired.

Fast bowlers like Waqar Younis, Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akthar who are legends in their own right , were picked, coached and mentored by him into world-class players.

After retirement Imran built a cancer hospital and a cancer research institute in his mother's memory who had died of cancer. He also created an engineering college in Punjab, Pakistan for underprivileged students.

He created his own political party in 1996 to bring honesty and accountability to Pakistani politics , inspite of competition by well-established political players, and two decades later, is on his way to become the Pakistani prime minister.

Wow!!! That is really something impressive! Now that I have read this I have even more hope for Pakistan and admiration for Imran Khan. Hopefully he'll be able to keep his promises and change the face of Pakistan :D

watching cricket on tv here in india is awful, the number of ads you see inbetween overs, it's awful!
sometimes the telecast of the game resumes after the ad when the bowler is halfway through his runup!

like most indians i 've grown up playing cricket myself, not professionally or anything, but in parks/gounds and sometimes streets
i'm a pretty useless batsman, but i did bowl legspin which is quite uncommon and turned the ball a lot! it amused some people, myself included

one of my favourite cricketers is virender sewag, he was destructive and fearless! if i'm not mistaken he got to his 200 with a boundary or a six (not sure exactly) and also got to his 300 with a boundary or six!
and some commentators talk about the nervous nineties, not with this guy
not a fan of the current indian team though they did well in aus recently

I've just watched England get skittled out by the West Indies, so great bowling especially by Roach.
