[Cricket] Imran Khan

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

What do you make of it? I just remember him roaring down the track at Hove. Sussex legend.

I take it you have suitable evidence?

“Roaring down the track” I thought he played cricket for Sussex, he wasn’t a greyhound.

 

[dangull]

I don't think Sussex CC will be in the forefront of his mind at the moment.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He could have stayed in Britain with his family but chose to go Pakistan to try and make a difference. He then fell out with the army, who have accused him of corruption.
Who know who is right, if at all?

My school teacher made me look and idiot with him one day. Her name was Khan and she told me he was her sister. I looked a right plonker when I asked him about it at Hove that summer. She thought it was hilarious.

 

[Icy Gull]

My cousin went out with him for a few weeks when he played for Sussex

 

[Lenny Rider]

I remember him saying on Southern Sound when India was at war with Pakistan, he would have to go and enlist when the fighting reached his village.

“Where’s your village?” Tony Millard asked him.

“Ditchling” he replied.

(I’ll get my coat )

Mrs Jakarta had just started teaching in Brighton when he was playing for Sussex and recalled he was very fond of blondes, although the turnover of them was remarkable.
And no she wasn't one of them...

Does she have blonde hair?

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

I enjoyed watching him play cricket for Sussex. That’s it really. None of us really know what goes on in a country like Pakistan which if it is half as corrupt as India will be a complete basket case.

 

[Icy Gull]

Does she have blonde hair?

Nope but she does have large breasts

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

He is absolutely loved in Pakistan and would walk an election if they (the army) let it happen.

But they won't, so he won't.

 

[Justice]

Nope but she does have large breasts

Are you sure you don’t live in Norwich?

 

[dangull]

He seems to be a brave man after being shot and almost assassinated a few months ago.
He could have chosen a much more comfortable life in the UK as a Sky commentator for the cricket or such like.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

He is absolutely loved in Pakistan and would walk an election if they (the army) let it happen.

But they won't, so he won't.

At the last election his party only won about 32% of the vote.
A quick skim of the Wikipedia page seems to suggest that every party involved claimed there was some bias against them.
I think he's always been more controversial in Pakistan than might be imagined.

 

[Sirnormangall]

He is absolutely loved in Pakistan and would walk an election if they (the army) let it happen.

But they won't, so he won't.

His popularity is probably the underlying reason for his arrest - the army don’t want their stranglehold on the country to diminish.

 

[BrightonCottager]

I thought he was brave going back to Pakistan as well seeing as he could've stayed here swanning about with well connected blonde ladies and punditing for a living. Mrs BC's family are from Pakistan (same tribe as Imran) and I'm always hearing about how bad things are there and the stranglehold of the army.
No idea if he is corrupt.
As an aside, while we are are reminiscing about famous cricketers going out with locals, Mrs BC used to work behind the bar at The Cricketers at Sussex CC and the West Indies were playing. Rain stopped play, the team came out to meet the locals and adjourned to the pub. Curtley Ambrose got chatting to my GLW (this was years before I met her) and asked her out. She politely declined, having 'heard rumours' about his ambitions. Allegedly.
