Just ten months after they met in a historic series, India and Pakistan are ready for another battle which promises to be just as exciting and closely fought as the previous one was. As part of the build-up to the forthcoming series, Cricinfo looks back at ten classic encounters between the two teams. We start off with the Karachi Test of 1982, when Imran Khans virtuoso performance lit up the National Stadium.This wasnt a Test that you would call great in the traditional sense. It was a no-contest: Pakistan won by an innings and 87 runs, their biggest win over India at the time, and one they went on to better two Tests later at Hyderabad. But the match was significant for the performance of one man - Imran Khan took 11 wickets in the match, eight of them in the second innings, five in the space of 25 balls, and the legend of reverse-swing was born. Sarfraz Nawaz is credited as being the early exponent of reverse-swing but on that third afternoon of the Karachi Test, Imran gave the most fearsome exhibition of the art which was yet to acquire a name.India, trailing by 283 runs, would have nurtured faint hopes of saving the game as Sunil Gavaskar and Dilip Vengsarkar took them to 102 for 1 shortly after tea. The new ball had been negotiated comfortably and the only wicket to fall, that of Arun Lal, had been claimed by Abdul Qadir. But Imran returned for his second spell with a semi-old ball and, aided by a strong wind, produced prodigious late swing at a blistering pace that left the Indian batsmen numb.Gavaskar was the first go, bowled through the gate, and it signalled a procession. India ended the day at 118 for 7, and of Imrans five victims, four were bowled and only Mohinder Amarnath managed to get his front pad in the way. This was the spell that decided the series. Writing on the series for World Cricket Digest, Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi termed it a case of overkill. Imran, who started the match with flu, ended the series with 40 wickets and by the time the Indians arrived in Hyderabad, Pakistani fans were holding up banners likening him to the F-16s, the American fighter planes that were the latest addition to Pakistans military stable.India had begun the Test horribly after being sent in on a newly laid, green-tinged pitch, by losing Gavaskar to a run-out from a direct hit by Imran, who then accounted for Vengsarkar with a ball that lifted and swung away. Arun Lal and Gundappa Viswanath put up a brief partnership, but India soon found themselves at 70 for 5. Kapil Dev avoided a total rout by merrily swinging away to a 53-ball 73. He was severe on Qadir in particular, hitting him for five fours and a six. And when Madan Lal removed Pakistans first three batsmen for 18, the day didnt seem so bad for India.However, the second day belonged to Pakistan. Zaheer Abbas, who had scored a double-century in the first Test at Lahore, stroked away to 186 and added 213 runs for the fifth wicket with Mudassar Nazar, who was batting down the order because of flu. With useful 30s from Imran and Wasim Bari, Pakistan ended up with 452. India stayed in the battle for a couple of hours, after which it was all Imran.Sambit Bal is editor of Cricinfo in India and of Wisden Asia Cricket magazine. Authentic Dante Pettis Jersey .

Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop.

North Melbourne greats Brent Harvey and Wayne Carey have resolved their spat that threatened to mar Saturdays major AFL milestone.Harvey will play his 427th AFL match this Saturday night, breaking the all-time record that Hawthorn legend Michael Tuck has held since 1991.Extracts from Harveys new book `Boomer were published on the weekend and he was highly critical of Carey.Harvey said on Monday he had apologised to his former captain.In the book, Harvey described Careys extra-marital affair with the wife of their then teammate Anthony Stevens as despicable.The book also alleged North paid hush money to protect Careys reputation.Carey duly hit back on radio, saying it was terribly sad that Harvey had sensationalised allegations that had never happened.He flatly denied North paid any hush money to protect him.Harvey said Carey rang him on Sunday night to sort out their differences.For me, a lot of it was rumour ... it wasnt fact, Harvey said on Monday.In hindsight, I probably shouldnt have put it in the book, but unfortunately I have.He has a lot of rumours in his life and you probably could write a whole book on the (rumours) and Wayne Carey.For me, I just want to put it on the table right now, that was rumour and innuenddo and I apologised to him, he accepted that, which is fantastic.ddddddddddddHarvey said that there is a plan for Carey to interview him on television after Saturday nights game if North win.Harvey added he would meet with coach Brad Scott in the next couple of weeks to look at whether he keeps playing beyond this season.Absolutely, if the club says yes, I have no doubt the body and the mind would hold up for another pre-season, he said.Hopefully well go deep into September - and even early October - and then another pre-season.Harvey also wants the focus kept on beating St Kilda this week as much as possible.The Kangaroos are eighth and the Saints are the biggest threats to their finals hopes.Obviously Ive spoken to Brad about everything and like my 400th, the whole focus will be about beating the Saints, who are in really good form, he said.Well try to keep it not about me as much as I can and more about the team.When you run out with your kids and your family is there, they present you with your jumper or whatever we decide to go, it gets a little bit emotional.But it wont be over the top.
