The Daily Travelogue

Someone I really like once said. "While describing life's journey, it should be almost impossible to seperate fact from fiction - the truth from the myth - the man from the legend'. I completely agree.

Oops! Inzy did it again

Inzamam-ul-Haq is a marked man!

Word has it that when Allah was distributing running-between-the-wicket skills, Inzy was eating Mutton Biryani in Lahore's Gawalmandi.

Apparently his recent dismissal against England in third test match at Headingley only adds more support to the above claim.

Inzy was dismissed hit wicket trying to sweep Monty Panesar from Headingley to Lords, 120 miiles away. The events following the dismissal were as sensational as the dismissal itself.

As said ealier, Inzy generated enough momentum in his sweep for the ball to travel 120 miles away to Lords on a windless day. There was only one hitch. He failed to connect. So instead, the tremendous torque generated resulted in to an unstable centripetal force that caused Inzy to do a sort of semi-backward-sommersault-semi-frog-leap that ended directly on the stumps.

Geraint Jones' first reaction was to ask Inzy if he was hurt; but when he saw that the stumps had been displaced his reaction wias something like "Hey mate! Are you ..Holy cow! The bull killed itself..ha ha ha (manic laughter)"

There was a minor commotion during the evening cocktails after someone spotted a dog with his tail between his legs looking for a place to hide in England’s dressing room. It was later clarified that it was just a scared Geraint Jones, after Inzy reportedly walked up to him and said ‘Next time, I am not going to fall on the wickets but you!’

Inzy is also considering writing to the ICC to include his hit wicket under his own wickets tally. His logic is that no one was responsible for his dismissal but him and the bowler should not be a given free wickets when it was an out and out the batsman's ffort.
