An Inzy moment

Inzamam-ul-Haq, the cricketer everyone loves to love, is sometimes both Laurel and Hardy, in that he is capable of causing as well as participating in mishaps that no mere mortal could imagine. Given that Monty Panesar was bowling to Inzy yesterday at Headingley, the chances of a moment worth laughing over tea many years later being produced was high. However, on a day when Panesar actually picked up a diving catch at long-leg, it was left to the Pakistani captain to do it all by himself when he conjured up a hit-wicket dismissal out of the thick Yorkshire air.

It led David Hopps to write in the Guardian about the "guilty pleasures" of such a dismissal.
