So let's try for this neutral umpire idea.

And so um and then he persisted with that idea.

And then actually when it happened, it calmed so many things because we were only now looking

uh to get to uh the uh you know uh over the tape to win the game rather than worry about whether that leg before was uh was the right call from the umpire, from the local umpire from Shakurana or Shaquille or whosoever they were in during that period.

So we were then able to focus squarely on cricket.

And so I mean so we had to go through so much and only I think uh Imran could have uh sealed the deal because he's all powerful guy.

Yes, I remember that.

Um I think it was Wasim was batting with I don't know Wakar.

So there's this guy who worked i his his fingers, I mean his fingers are magic, Cairo practitioner.

I got myself fixed.

But yeah, I went so uh so Inthy I remember saying, What the hell is wrong with you?

You know, people come here uh in UK to get their their stuff fixed.
