#4 Funniest run out ever:

Runouts are usually due to a mix up between the partners or because of some extraordinary work on the field but this one is hilarious because the batsman on strike had no idea about what was happening until he realized he was out. This happened in the 1999 World Cup when Pakistan faced Australia in the group stage match. Inzi had made a match-defining 81 when Damien Fleming yorked him and he vaguely attempted a run, returned to the crease. He literally falls to get back to the crease and the time taken for that action was as if it was shot in slow motion.

By then, Wasim Akram who was the non-striker had reached Inzi’s end shouting at him, unaware of the fact that his partner was in no mood to get up and run, but it was too late and Inzi was back in the pavilion.

This wasn’t written to mock the great man, instead to recall those funny dismissals he was involved in. His stance wasn’t that great, but he had the ability to take on any bowler and turn the game over its head. His shotmaking was elegant and exquisite. Only few could play fast bowlers on difficult tracks as well as Inzamam-ul-Haq did. He will always be remembered for the sportsmanship he portrayed on the field.
