QUITE how something called the MCC Spirit of Cricket series came to involve Pakistan is a mystery. Maybe the organisers were being ironic. On this occasion — a Test between Pakistan and Australia at Lord’s — Chris Broad, the match referee, was sworn at by a senior member of the Pakistan side and Mohammad Aamer, an 18-year-old bowler from Punjab, showed his respect for the greats of the game by confronting Ricky Ponting, the Australia captain.
On the last day, having reached a very respectable 186 for two chasing 440 to win, Pakistan collapsed to a collection of the worst shots seen in Tests. Marcus North, an occasional off-spinner, took six for 55 and secured a place on the new Lord’s honours board for neutral Tests. Shane Warne’s best Test figures at Lord’s were four for 57
