Duh, with neutral umpires.

WI did the worst cheating ever possible. The only other comparable stinker is Emerson calling a leg break from Murali.
1980 was not with neutral umpires, WI cheating is just what Pakistan had been doing for decades at that point, it stung them when it robbed them of their greatest triumph, but that doesn't make it any less hilarious.

BS. Imran especially requested neutral umpires for their home series that was drawn. Dirty little cheaters didn't want to reciprocate that. They were clearly affected by Imran's aura.

as Silf said, after the first test Yeah, and who cares, it's Pakistan, they had been cheating for 30 years at that point. There's a reason Barrington kidnapped a Pakistani umpire and beat the **** out of him etc

They also got one of the worst treatments ever from the umpires in 79-80 series against New Zealand, where Holding famously kicked over the stumps.

Pre neutral umpires era was really the wild west.

Pretty sure WI whinged about bad umpires more when they lost against NZ in 79/80.

Lara who watched the 88 series talks about how Pakistan were robbed in his spirit of cricket lecture. You can watch it here.

Imran is entitled to whine more than any one. He is the one who wanted neutral umpires most, and even worked towards it in his capacity. Not like others who needed cheating umpires to defend the title.
should've done it in 1979 bud, not near the end after you were 1-0 up in the series.
