TEST CRICKET England v Pakistan, third
Test, Headingley, 1982
It is Imran against the English, a
warrior standing alone to defend his
nation. And Imran is winning, the runs
creeping above 200, until umpire David
Constant intervenes. Sikander Bakht,
Pakistan's fast bowler, has valiantly
supported his captain with 7 off 47,
but Constant gives him out caught off
his pad to Vic Marks. It is a decision
that any member of the crowd can
instantly judge is incorrect. Sikander
is stunned, Imran fuming under his
helmet, Pakistan's rally undone by
treachery, their supporters
incandescent in the stadium.
