Toss: Pakistan.

Imran Khan's erratically brilliant Pakistanis won their first World Cup final while Gooch and England lost their third, on the broad field of Melbourne with nearly 90,000 in attendance. Afterwards Imran said it was the most fulfilling and satisfying cricket moment of my life. He described the victory as a triumph for his young team's talent over England's experience; he also stressed the role of his aggressive specialist bowlers rather than the stereotyped attack of Gooch's all-rounders. But he enjoyed an all-round triumph himself with the match's highest score and the final wicket.
Imran's role went deeper, however. He had virtually hand-picked the team, and after the disappointment of losing a key player, the pace bowler Waqar Younis, to a stress fracture before leaving Pakistan, and a disastrous start when they won only one in five matches (two of which he missed), he urged them to imitate the action of a cornered tiger before they went on to five successive wins. They reached the giant stadium in peak form, while England looked exhausted. The players who had toured New Zealand unconquered had gradually weakened in the face of constant travel and frequent injury. As Pakistan had picked up, they had been losing, first to New Zealand and then, most embarrassingly, to Zimbabwe. It's not the end of the world, said Gooch after the match, but it is close to it. We got beaten fair and square. England were worn down by the century partnership of veterans Imran and Javed Miandad, which started slowly but gathered force, and the spirit of their batsmen was broken by successive balls from Man of the Match Wasim Akram which dismissed Lamb and Lewis, one swinging in and then straightening again, the next cutting in sharply.

Remembering the baleful potential of rain, and knowing that no one had won a World Cup final chasing runs, Imran had chosen to bat. At first England prospered. In nine overs Pringle reduced Pakistan to 24 for two. Then Imran and Miandad, the sole survivors in this World Cup of the 1975 tournament, settled down to see off the new ball. Progress was slow: Imran was nine from 16 overs when Gooch spilled a running catch. But although Pakistan were only 70 halfway through, and Miandad had summoned a runner, they accelerated to add 139 in 31 overs before Miandad attempted a reverse sweep. Soon Imran's strokeplaying protégés, Inzamam-ul-Haq (35 balls) and Wasim Akram (18 balls), took up the fight. Their 52 in six overs brought the runs from the last 20 overs to 153, though Pringle's final over cost just two and saw them both dismissed.

England's pursuit of five an over started badly when Botham was surprised to be given caught behind. The next time Moin Khan claimed a catch, Stewart escaped judgment, but not for long, and Mushtaq Ahmed's leg-spin accounted for Hick (baffled by the googly) and Gooch. With England requiring 181 from 29 overs, Lamb, preferred for his experience to Smith, whose fitness was in doubt, added 72 in 14 with Fairbrother. But Wasim returned to devastating effect. Deprived of heavyweight partners, and using a runner, Fairbrother top-edged to Moin after an hour and a half. The tail threw the bat to no avail. Imran dismissed Illingworth to complete his triumph, and pledged the proceeds of his success to the cancer hospital planned in his mother's memory.

Man of the Match: Wasim Akram. Attendance: 87,182.

On this day 25th March 1992: Pakistan Win the 1992 World Cup

Re: On this day 25th March 1992: Pakistan Win the 1992 World Cup

Bring it back to Melbourne
 
The only world cup where the ultimate winning team lost to 3 other teams during the WC - WI, India and SA. What saved Pak was the washout game with england when England needed 50 runs of 42 overs with 9 wickets in hand, it was the massive luck, which got Pak in semis. Had pak lost that match, then Pak, AUS, and WI all 3 would have ended up with equal no: of points and Aus would have qualified with the better RR. But all that is history and doesn't matter, what matters is that Pakistan won the WC so congratulations to them.

Pakistan is the only team, which defeated NZ twice in the WC, which looked unbeatable in their own backyard.
 
The day when I was 7 years old. It got me addicted to cricket for life
 
wasim two wickets and man that blasted 33 runs was awsome.... imran ultimate batting as he quickly anchored and stablized a lost position with javaid miandad. seems like another life time if you look at it now. boy our team has to do alot of work to do this again in 2015.
 
Come on boys! World cup 2015 in Australia. Make it happen again in Melbourne!
 
How funny would it be if England and Pakistan made it to final this WC and stadium is MCG
 
People forget that Aaquib took 2-27 off 10 overs...

I remember. i also remember that mushtaq ahmed took 3 wickets and of captain graham gooch. The way aqib celebrated was awsome.
 
I wasnt born then to feel the glory, i can only watch highlights and listen to stories, i really want to see pakistan win a world cup with my own eyes.

yeah and younis khan will score 73,misbah 56,malik a quick fire 44 and afridi will be made man of the match with 33 very fast runs and 3 wickets and one would be back to back wickets :P :P

Not if we take the senior line up.

But you are conveniently forgetting that the same ridiculous rain rule cost us 2 points against South Africa, a game we would have won in normal time. SA made 200 odd and Inzy & Imran were coasting before rain intervened to spoil the game. Because of the stupid rule (whereby only the overs in which the opponents had scored maximam no. of runs were counted) the asking rate went up to almost 9 after recalculation and although Inzy and Imran tried their best it just proved too much in the end

Misbah will have retired by 2015, Hafeez will be captain.

It will happen as such:

Openers Jamshed and Shehzad gone early, then captain Hafeez plays a captain's knock of 72 off 110 alongside Asad Shafiq who made a slow and steady 58 off 98 before getting bowled by Swann as Pakistan are at 163/3. Things were looking ominous for Pakistan as Hafeez fell to Bopara and left Pakistan 197/4 but some quick and aggressive hitting by Umar Akmal and Junaid Khan left Pakistan 249/6 after the 50 overs.

England's chase had a wobbly start as Trott fell early to Pakistan left-arm legend Junaid Khan. Pakistan struck at regular intervals as Matt Prior fell to the bounce of Irfan, and Ajmal cleaned up Eoin Morgan and the skipper Alastair Cook and left England 69/4. A steady partnership between Kevin Pietersen and Ravi Bopara took England to 141, but Junaid severed that by eliminating Bopara and cleaning up Graeme Swann the very next ball. Wickets fell regularly for England. Skipper Hafeez took the last wicket as Anderson lobbed the ball up to mid-off where Ahmed Shehzad took a safe catch and Pakistan were crowned world champions of 2015.

I worked way too hard on making this summary...

huh then in that case 2023 world cup we will reach the finals to face an unchokeable south africa who will take us out at 132 where jamsheed score a confident 15 but will get out and babar azam will make just 1 run. highest score will be by haris sohail 22 and umar akmal will make 17 and umar amin will make 13.

Saffers will bat and amla will make a quick fire 54 and will go out to raza hassan. ingram will make a not out 37 with du plessis making a 17 but will go out to junaid khan.

After the match we will blame the captain juanid khan that he fixed the match. :P :P :P

After all these it's still hard to believe Pakistan won that world cup in alien conditions with an o.k team. The skipper believed from day one. :ik

Nice summary, would love to see this happen and i can see it with my own eyes!!

Although i would prefer a higher total by pakistan, and bowlers finishing it off quickly.
Just a dream man, lets hope inshallah it comes true!
 
This was the first WC I watched. I was a kid at that time and still remember Mushtaq's googly and Wasim's 2 wickets in an over (I think it was Lewis and Lamb, not sure though). epic game that one.
 
Didn't start watching cricket until 97/98 so no memory of it whatsoever. Unfortunately my saddest and most enjoyable memories are of the 99 world cup and that special team and none more so than the Rawalpindi express steaming in full flow.
 
Wasn't born yet to see it, unfortunately.

But, Azhar Ali will lift it again for Pakistan in 2019 at Lord's, InshAllah :)
 
The day is still fresh in my mind and the celebrations in the country! It was like Eid
 
Must have been an awesome day. Imran, once in a century kind of a guy. Take a bow! What a player, what an icon!

I wish the trophy had been good as well, that looks kitchenware. No wonder it got discarded. Lankans too got an awful trophy.
 
That world cup was a great achievement for you guys. An asian team winning it down under :). Great scenes.

Hope we indians win it this time around. Nothing gives more satisfaction than winning in AUS.
 
time to do one thing which pakistan did but india never did....

That made me smile again. ....I remember calling home at lunchtime to fins out results days before the Internet& smartphones.

what confuses me is why it was played on a weekday.
 
I was at school. Some dude came running out 'they won, they won!'. Brilliant.

Correction: Pakistan won the World Cup, not Imran Khan.

Cricket is a team sport - you win and lose as a team; it's not tennis or golf.

I'm well aware of Kaptaan's super powers and how with his magic wand he is capable of achieving anything and deserves a superhero character in his tribute that would put Superman, Batman etc. to shame, but he really couldn't have won the World Cup without the contribution of his team.

But yes, the other players weren't there to sell cholay, and they returned home selling cholay only - they didn't play some brilliant cricket.

Even if they did, Kaptaan was the reason for it - how dare we give them credit, because Inzamam played them gem in the SF only because Kaptaan gave him confidence, and Wasim produced the two deliveries in the Final only because he acted on Kaptaan's instructions.

This thread should have been titled: 'On this Day, Pakistan won the World Cup' with a picture of the team celebrating with the trophy, rather than make it about one individual again, probably for the billionth time.

Sadly, the hero worshipping culture continues in Pakistan, and we frown at India for calling Tendulkar god but Imran is no less than a divine figure for us, and if your religion/culture allowed, we would be doing sajda to him 5 times a day.

History states that Pakistan won the World Cup, not Imran Khan. Just like every other World Cup is remembered by the team who won it, not just the Captain.

Of course, the Captain always gets more recognition - he's the leader and the one who lifts the trophy - the image that is remembered forever - but only in Pakistan has the 1992 triumph become more about Imran Khan than the team as a whole. Only we talk about Imran Khan when we talk about 1992 rather than giving credit to the team as a whole, and it's very disappointing to see the theme of this thread.

Imran Khan is a Pakistani, and he lifted that trophy for Pakistan.

Why you are getting frustrated over a thread title is beyond me, and really shows how much you love nitpicking and criticizing literally everything possible. Instead of sharing your memories of the victory, you post in the thread with a totally different agenda.
 
The title says Imran lifted the trophy which he did... No where it says that Imran won the World Cup...In the sub text it says Pakistan defeated England etc..

A logical thing it is to say Pakistan became world champs. Simply putting in a person for every achievement is indeed blind devotion.
The game is played by 11 players, captain marshals em. A good chunk of credit is deservingly for the captain, but without the team, the captain is pretty much toothless.. Whichever way you spin it.

There is a great deal of blind devotion for IK in pak, and it well might be frustrating for many. Esp for those who understand what it means to be a part of a team and/or how a team has to come together to achieve goals.

I don't think anyone on this forum was on that '92 winning team. And that "blind devotion" you talk about is done by the very players that played under Imran Khan, so why us fans have a problem with it beats me.

eh?
Are you really sure?

IK enjoys a status which really beats logic. From magically topping up the missing garam masala in biryani to saving the inter galactic affairs.. you name it and they ll make it up.

IK did played his part. But it is not an aberration coming across pakistanis who understand that submitting to IK beyond a certain point is plain ridiculous. He is a sportsperson and that it all. Blind faith in him means his wrong moves out of the cricketing world will be endorsed and the all too familiar pattern of repeating the failures will follow. I can see how that euphoria effects some people.
The endurance level takes a hit.
 
Who will be the other lucky Pakistani captain?? Have been waiting since 1996 for someone to lift it in our life time!!!
 
Great moment haven't seen it live though but watch it many times in highlights.Imran Khan truly a great captain.

Well, I for one think you're one of the very few intellects on this forum that talk a bit of sense. But every time then name Imran pops up there's always something negative and borderline hate spewing from you. It seems Imran has disappointed you big time beyond cricket and you're carrying that hate in to his cricketing accomplishments.

Well yes Pakistan won the WC! But its only written that Imran Khan LIFTED the World Cup trophy! So its obvious and fine! Dont think such exaggerated reaction was necessary!
 
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] can be very unnecessarily aggressive when it comes to Imran Khan these days. I don't see anything wrong in the thread title.

I have a theory as to why Mamoon feels this way (I could be 100% wrong...its just a theory):

1. Imran Khan's whole Good Taliban, bad Taliban backfired by and large (even if it didn't backfire....post Peshawar attack, things were not looked upon favorably).

2. After the whole Peshawar attack by TTP, Mamoon posted about the kids who were rushed to his hospital and how he literally was filled up with tears.

Imran's Dharna, Good taliban - bad taliban, office for taliban and a lot issues irked him before but the Peshawar attack by TTP made him reach the breaking point.

Peshawar reminds him of Imran's (past) support for talks with TTP and any extreme praise of Imran gets him all aggressive.

Guys....I am neither commenting about Imran Khan's views or Mamoon's views or TTP action.....

Just presenting what i think could be the reason for Mamoon's aggression towards Imran.

He was never this aggressive towards him in the past.

Maybe not world cup but India did win the B&H World Championship of Cricket in 1985 in Australia. Was as good as the world cup as it had all the test playing nations

sadanand.jpg
 
We had such an exciting and balanced team- young fiery Akram, Aqib, mushy, Inzi , sohail & then the experience of Miandad , Malik & rameez & of course the courageous leadership of Imran Khan.
We ve never replicated the same formula maybe because we don't seem to reflect on why we lose and why we win
 
Overrated team but Imran made it happen. We won't win another until we stop remembering this.
 
And on the same day in 2016, Pakistan would destroy Australia to re-ignite their world cup campaign en-route to a memorable triumph as the enigmatic Shahid Afridi lifts the World Cup at the Wankhede stadium in one final moment of captivating madness.

Here you go. Mamoon listen to his words while lifting Worldcup. And how 3 years effort and people's support and trust resulted in him achieving his obsession in 1995. He struggled in politics for 16 years where in 2000 he had the choice and chance to accept Musharaff's offer and become Prime Minister but he denied it through that route and opted to become one only by people's choice one day.

This is for your blind hate of Imran Khan

Regardless of my open reservations regarding 1992 world cup, it means a lot to Pakistanis. Imran Khan's coronation and the beginning of an era. Pakistan should have won at least 1 more major trophy in the coming 10 years with the talent they had. Sad part is these days we play 4 ICC tourneys inside 4 tears. Those days we only had 1 in 4 years. If those days also there was a WT20 every 2nd year plus a champions trophy, I am sure you'd all agree with me Pakistan would have won 3-4 of the ICC trophies during the 90s when they actually only played 3 of them in 1996,1998 and 1999.
