Summary
There aren't too many people who can say they were Ian Botham's nemesis. But Beefy has a long memory and he still hasn't forgiven Wasim Akram for removing him for a duck as Pakistan beat England in the 1992 Cricket World Cup Final! Ian and Bill are joined by one of Pakistan's most celebrated players and one of the true gentlemen of the sport, offering intriguing insight into the state of Pakistan cricket after the recent failures in England. He also talks deeply about his love and affection for former Pakistan captain and Prime Minister Imran Khan, the future of red ball cricket and the lure of the Indian Premier League - plus the gym habits and pre-match routines that let's say differ somewhat to modern day sport! ----------------------- AD - Old Boys, New Balls have teamed up with Staysure Travel Insurance and are offering our listeners 20% off their next policy with code OLDBOYS20 With their Comprehensive and Signature policies recognised as Which?
