It was the 80s, Pakistan were making great strides forward in cricket. Albeit not completely with their skills in the game but with their poor standards in umpiring.

During one of those days,Imran Khan,the captain of the Pakistan team met Allan Border, the aussie counterpart in a pre-match meeting in Sydney.

During the chat Imran told Allan Border “Allan, give me Sunil Gavaskar and B.S.Chandra Shekhar from India, we will beat Australia..”

Allan Border replied “..Imran, just give me two Umpires from Pakistan and we will beat the whole world..” Imran Khan was left speechless.

Later, the furious Imran Khan complained to the Australian board. On pressure from Cricket Australia Allan Border tendered apologies to Imran Khan and Pakistan Cricket Board.
