The 'Rawalpindi Express' Shoaib Akhtar too had his moments in the
limelight during the England innings. Not only did Akhtar dismiss
Michael Vaughan, he also earned himself the honour of bowling the
first 100 mph-plus delivery in the World Cup during the game. But
those two indubitable achievements, though, were pushed to the
background to an extent by the fact that Akhtar's nine overs saw
him return the untidy figures of 1/63.
