Pick the Ultimate Team Combo

[Bolo.]

When you are done with your complaining, look up the fact that Imran and Miller have the same away averages in both batting and bowling. Hell yes, Imran tampered and benefited from dodgy home umpires. If any of you have watched Hair umpiring, or sandpapergate, you should realise that this is not just an Imran thing.

Imran was magnificent away with the ball. Dont look at his average. Look at his WPM when playing as a bowler, or his absolutely stupidly good series performances.

Im not a Miller hater. I rate him higher than any specialist in history, except maybe Murali and Hobbs. But Imran was Imran.

Two questions
1. Did Imran indulge in ball tampering?
2. Did Imran benefit from the infamous Pak umpires?

Yes and yes. But then so did all the bowlers of the era.

Honestly I feel it is the silliest point to bring against Imran.

Not this nonsense with the false equivalency again.

No one had umpiring like Pakistan in that era. Everyone talks about Miandad's lbw's at home and it was a joke.

The interviews by former Pakistani players alone speaks volumes with regards to the tampering. And re the umpiring, you always say Imran deserves credit for bringing in the neutral ones, but omits that it's because no one was taking their home results seriously.

You would.

You would.

Wow what a comeback. I'm shattered.

Once again, every team complained about being robbed by foreign umpires in that era. Somehow we should only take Pakistani umpires seriously.

And every bowler was picking the seam and applying foreign substances too. Somehow we need to pretend that only Pakistanis did it.

And you neglect to mention that Imran the bowler was just as successful in the series he brought neutral umpires in.

Until you consistently apply a penalisation across the board, your complaints ring hollow.
