Inzy's Languid Duck

Let's go back to England vs. Pakistan at Newlands Cape Town. Cricket World Cup. Feb. 22, 2003.

England bat first and scored a respectable 246. Pakistan followed, but had to bat under lights—never easy as the dew rises and darkness falls.

England's Jimmy Anderson bowling in ideal conditions takes a wicket with the last ball of the second over.

Inzy, moving at a pace which a self-respecting snail would have seen as leisurely, comes to the wicket (eventually) and stands idly by as Saeed Anwar plays out an over.

Then Inzy faces Jimmy with his tail up. Jimmy bowls a peach of a ball which Inzy scoops languidly to Nick Knight at slip. Inzy is out first ball. He waddles even more slowly back to the pavilion.

Jimmy then dismisses Yousuf to take a hat trick. Not Inzy or Pakistan's day. Nary a dry eye in the house!
