This week's clip comes to us from the tightly contested 1996 World Cup Quarterfinal match between defending champion Pakistan and India played in front of a packed house in Bangalore. Lefty opener Amir Sohail and Pakistan came out swinging while giving chase to a not so formidable score of 288. Behind Sohail's quick start, Pakistan were 113/1 with one ball left in the fifteenth over, leading to this classic exchange with Venkatesh Prasad...
After hitting a four, Sohail reportedly told Prasad to "go fetch" the ball. But since it's not completely clear what he said, I'm going to assume it was something more along the lines of "Ay Lamboo, doh coke leh ke aah!", infuriating Prasad and putting his exclusivity deal with Leher Pepsi at risk. Either way, the moment was the turning point of the game as India went on to defeat a deflated Pakistan by 39 runs.
Trivia: Yes that is politician and one-time Mr. Jemima Goldsmith, Imran Khan doing the commentary. Who knew he was involved with cricket.
