Recollections of the 1992 WC by Ramiz

Awesome recollection from Ramiz

'People carried us away on their shoulders into a motorcade' | Cricket videos, MP3, podcasts, cricket audio at ESPN Cricinfo

Makes for compelling listening or reading if you like to read the transcript

AR: Pakistan had lost to West Indies and then managed a win against Zimbabwe but then came the shocker - shot out for just 74 by England.

RR: England had a strong team, experienced at playing one-day cricket, and they caught us on an English pitch with English weather, but the difference was that rain came to our rescue. The match was abandoned as a no-result, and our embarrassing 74 all-out got us a point. That would turn out to be the most important point for us in the World Cup. We had an interesting team meeting after the game and our captain somehow saw a positive in the result and said that this one point would enable us to win the World Cup. At the time we took it as a mere tool to lift our spirits, but it turned out to be exactly the saviour for us.

I remember Wasim's recollection from the 1992 World Cup.

He mentioned how the team landed in Lahore a few days after the victory.Wasim expected supporters,a few thousand perhaps,but when the team came out,the whole airport and the roads adjacent to it were swarmed with supporters a figure of around 80,000 was on Mall Road Lahore.Normally,it takes you around 10 minutes to reach Pearl Continental Hotel from the Airport.That day it took the team 8 hours.

80,000 people,between Pearl Continental Hotel and the Airport.
Mall Road,Lahore.

Epic.
