And once again New Zealand meet ther old friends Pakistan a big tournament semi-final. Take your mind back to Eden Park 1992 and Old Trafford 1999. David Leggat of the New Zealand Herald does a walkthrough of past defeats.
Pakistan were behind the play until a large, and largely unknown, young man put down his cream doughnut, ambled out and belted 60 in 37 balls to rip the game from a shattered home side. The legend of Inzamam-ul-Haq, wonderful batsman, hopeless runner between the wickets and champion eater, was born.
