And since the captaincy of this XI is also a matter of honour, as I wrote in the blog also, no one deserves this honour more in the history of Test match cricket!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733104559445244259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645282373545856222.post-80838636911662354392010-10-08T23:43:44.859+05:302010-10-08T23:43:44.859+05:30well i would support the changes u made
coz for n...well i would support the changes u made <br />coz for no rational reason it was awkward to find shane warne and murli in the same side<br />but for captancy i wudnt give it to anyone but imran khan. i m a big fan of the persona of imran khan <br />here u hav a guy hus last internaional assignment was a world cup final which he won for his side and declared his retirement. perhaps unparalleled till datealihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14886638943946107872noreply@blogger.com
