Rivalries in Pakistan Cricket !

Pakistan has produced some of the world's greatest cricketers, but the history of their cricket is fraught with tales of rivalries between their top players. Individually they have contributed immensely for the team though they never got along each other.
In the sixties, Abdul Hafeez Kardar, the first captain of Pakistan, could not get along with Haneef Mohammad. In the Seventies Sarfraz Nawaz and Asif Iqbal were not in good terms. Then in the Eighties, Javed Miandad and Imran Khan were not the best of friends.Later on, Rashid Latif and Saleem Malek too turned enemies.
The latest of the rivalries was between Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif, resulting in Akhtar hitting Asif on his leg with a cricket bat.

Kaash ...

In Pakistan all the beloved "Leaders" can only come out of their bankers under "Fool Proof" security (which gives a sense of pleasure to all Fools), which ceases the "affected" city. Like today our "favorite" Chief Minister of Punjab visited a Public place in Lahore and the whole city was ceased. If this could happen in our country i.e. "Occupied Pakistan" then a lot of money would be saved and the public will feel a real relief.
