Not exactly recent, but seeing how in Pakistan both politics and cricket seem to be in constant disarray, Khan’s views on these subjects remain actual and relevant.
At the end, he also shares the secret behind his womanizing skills:
This is one my favorite cricket videos on YouTube. I really love how the people of the Trobiand Islands have taken cricket and made into something that is still recognizable, but also completely different from the game we know, play and watch.
I have never seen the complete documentary, just this sort introduction, but would really like to watch the whole thing. If you happen to know if and where that is possible, please leave a comment.

First up; a series of 13 video’s on batting. Pakistan, are you paying attention?
Finding a topic to write about is getting far to easy thanks to The Spin, the weekly email newsletter by Andy Bull from the Guardian.
Last week he treated us to a little gem with a short clip of WG Grace batting, this week he found a masterclass by Jack Hobbs.
There is hardly a soul in the British Empire who does not know of England’s greatest Cricketer… Jack Hobbs.
Watch the clip at the British Pathé website.
