Spectator incident
During the 2nd ODI, spectator Shiv Kumar Thind, an Indian living in Toronto, used a megaphone to shout abuse at Pakistan batsman Inzamam-ul-Haq. Thind likened Inzamam's physical size to that of several kinds of potato and The Buddha. Inzamam took offense to this and proceeded to enter the crowd and challenge Thind. When Thind threw his megaphone at him, ul-Haq borrowed a cricket bat from a teammate and attempted to attack Thind with it. The event subsequently caused a 37-minute delay in the game and later resulted in both men filing charges of assault against one another. Thind and ul-Haq later withdrew the charges, although the Pakistan Cricket Board banned Inzamam for two matches.[3]
