Now a politician, he told an adoring crowd late last month that one of his feared inswingers would knock out both President Asif Zardari of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the main opposition leader, Nawaz Sharif. The next general election is due by early 2013 but likely to be called before that, possibly as early as the spring. Mr Khan captained the Pakistan cricket team to a famous world-cup victory in 1992, a moment Pakistanis still talk about. For 15 years he has tried to apply his looks and charisma to a political career. Until recently his efforts have underwhelmed. But after a huge and vibrant rally in Lahore, capital of Punjab province and the country's second-biggest city, the mainstream parties can no longer ignore him. Some 100,000 cheering supporters showed up. Mr Khan dreams of leading a mass movement of motivated Pakistanis calling for an Augean clean-up of the country's abysmally corrupt politics.
