“The one wicket that summarises his efforts was that of Viswanath, who shouldered arms to an off-side delivery; the ball suddenly swung back in, a couple of feet almost, and disturbed his off stump. He didn’t know what was happening; no one did. It was like a secret weapon that was unleashed, and we couldn’t defend ourselves.”

Re: Weapon of Mass Destruction

That was sweet. Imran's inswingers were deadly. I remember this one delivery he bowled to Allan Lamb and it came in so quickly that Lamb did not have a chance to bring his bat down to defend it and was bowled.
