Great Batting by Javed Miandad. There hasn't been a greater Pakistani batsman than him.

@SamCoburn I think back then it wasn't offensive term like Aussies isn't

[celt999]

@SamCoburn Yes, but to be fair, the term was used very often to refer to the Pakistanis in Australia in 1987. It didn't carry the same connotations that it does today.

@SamCoburn U must be from USA. Pakis is no derogatory term else where

@MrNaryal Weel the word paki can be racist depending on the intention of the one saying this word as some English people do say it as racist so then it would be racist.
