Watch this video Pakistan cricket is always about hope. The realities of this team have always been harsh and painful yet the hopes remain alive and they bear some extra ordinary moments in the history of this team.
It all started back in 1954 when Pakistan cricket team made their first international tour to England. They were looked upon as the babes of cricket and yet the heroics of Hanif Muhammad and Fazal Mehmood gave them their greatest victory ever at the Oval.
Pakistan defeated the fathers of cricket. Since then the Pakistan team made their mark on international cricket. They were thoroughly respected and considered as the one of the best teams in the world.
The time went on and Pakistan kept on producing some of the finest players in international cricket. Zaheer Abbas was known to be the Asian Bradman. Majid Khan was one of the best top order batsmen in the world.Javed Miandad was called street fighter and Abdul Qadir the spin king. On the top of all there was Imran Khan, the lion of Lahore, the leader of the cornered tigers. He was the captain of the side that won the 1992 world cup.
Imran wanted his low ranked just to play like a cornered tiger. It worked and the world saw the emergence of Wasim, Waqar and Inzamam.
Pakistan team has always been like this. There cricket is full of highs and lows. There are wins and there are humiliating defeats. But the Pakistani fans never stopped loving their team and players, this is the hope.
