i would say 10 times out of 10. what a beauty it was!

EDIT: Only a left hander would have survived it. Remember. It is not just this one ball. the previous three or four deliveries were beautifully setting rahul up for this dismissal. this was wasim at his magical best showing a younger champion what he is made of.

Absolutely brilliant ball that. Treasure having watched the likes of Akram, Saqlain, Akhtar versus Tendulkar, Dravid in that period.
