Ah, The memories!! It was all so fantastic. The day/night macthes, the colored uniforms, the atmosphere. THE WC SONG!! Fantabulous! Mix this all together with the exuberance and enthusiasm of the youthful/childhood days and you've got a memorable occassion for your life. Thanks to the 92 team for that glorious time in our past. I know, it is not healthy to dwell a lot in the past but it comes handy when you want to draw inspration from it to find a way today into a hopefully bright future. Pakistan Cricket Zindabad. Pakistan Paindabad!

Moin Khan played like a tiger. Whenever he was on the crease, I never lost hopes to see Pakistan winning the match. To be sincerely honest, Moin is one of our players who has made me take pride in being a Pakistani!!

I can't believe it's 20 years now. I still remember the feelings of that time. I believe that was the best of the world cups.
