[VIDEO] "I remember players who were happy at the failure of our own teammates" : Imran Khan
[utube]S5LgiX5LeVk[/utube]
"They imposed a curfew on us which was stupid because you need to unwind after 6 hours of play"
"I told my team, I will never question anyone - if you want to stay out all night that's fine but if your performance is effected, then I will start questioning your social life"
"There a few occasions which I have not enjoyed cricket - one was the tour of Sri Lanka because of the way things were"
"I never realized how bad things were when I walked into the Test team"
"There were so many factions and everyone was playing for themselves"
"I remember players who were happy at the failure of our own teammates"
"I remember the pleasure they got when one or 2 of their teammates failed and enjoyed the agony"
"There was a Test match in Calcutta where I made a mistake in putting India to bat and we got ourselves into real trouble"
"I was very tense about it but these young cricketers who were on their first tour, come up to me and say don't worry it will be all right - I was really touched!"
"There was no greater feeling when we came back to Pakistan after beating India in India"
"I've never experienced anything like that, infact it was like my whole cricket career had been worthwhile"
"It was like the whole town was there, there were 150-200k people just at the airport to see us"
"I never thought I would not be able to comeback (from injury) and was amazed to find that a lot of doctors thought I would not be able to make that comeback"
"If I was a seam bowler who relied on the wicket to help me, I would have never made it"
"Not only did I thought I wanted to do this (be a cricketer) but I also assumed that I would become a top cricketer; Little did I realize that it wasnt that easy"
"It was misplaced arrogance as I thought it would be easy"
"I was the best batsman at school level but when went to play for Pakistan U19I realized that there were so many good cricketers"
"In Lahore, the best cricketers werent the ones who went through the school system but those who went to play club cricket"
"If trying to play competitive cricket gets you called cheat (by some tabloids) then I am really offended"
"I have always insisted on playing fair cricket and I am the only captain who has had neutral umpires at home"
