For most growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s, Sachin v Shoaib was cricket's battle royale of individual contest. But have you wondered why so little is talked about Shoaib's battles with another great of that era, Brian Lara?

The answer is because it lasted just five deliveries.
YES. JUST FIVE.
As opposed to hundreds of deliveries he bowled to Sachin, Akhtar bowled only five balls to Lara throughout his career which lasted close to 15 years and coincided with the last 10 years of Lara's career.

And this terrible incident happened on the fifth delivery.
And, of course, there's an interesting story to it as well.

That’s Matthew Hoggard, the English fast bowler who played 67 Tests.
What’s he doing there, you may ask? Winning England a Test match. Interestingly, though, it wasn’t a match where Hoggard played. In fact, he didn’t play the entire series.

The picture is from the last day of the Karachi Test of the 2000 English tour of Pakistan, the final match of a three-Test series where the first two matches resulted in a draw. And in Karachi, it all came down to the wire. In fact, to the last session of the Test match.
England had to chase down 176 in a minimum of 44 overs to win the series. If the bowling attack consisting of the fearsome pace battery and Saqlain Mushtaq wasn’t enough, Pakistan also had a plucky customer as their captain in Moin Khan.
