Eat's as good as it gets for Inzy

They are not part of the Indian XI, but Mohammad Ameein and Abdul Haleemwho take on the Pakis in Kanpur today may just end up doing what our bowlers find so hard: Bowl over Inzy! Pitchforked to Kanpur ahead of Friday''s one-dayer, the two master chefs from Lucknow will spin a web of choicest epicurean Avadhi delights around the Pakistani cricketers during their stay at a five-star hotel here.But it''s Inzamam for whom they have made some khas intezam.
The big, burly Pakistani skipper whose fondness for food is as legendary as his delightful stroke-play will have chicken burra, kakori kebabs, biryani and his favourite nalli nihari titillating the tastebuds. The main course shall also include chicken shashlik, chicken manchurian, nan, dal masoor, lamb stew, steamed vegetables and fresh salads with lots of yoghurt. The gravy train doesn''t end at Inzamam. Spread out for his deputy Younis Khan there will be a dastarkhan with equally mouthwatering dishes, including Khan''s favourite paneer tikka, baked vegetables and murgi jhol.
"As requested by the Pakistan Cricket Board, all dishes would be halal and low in fat content," says the hotel''s head chef Avdesh Bhadouria who is busy deciding the eating order of the players. But as in the past, ''eat'' will not be Inzamam and his Boys but the CMO and his representatives who would open the innings on the dining table. "Before they are served to the players, all dishes will be sampled by officials from the CMO. It will be a feast for them as well. But then, it''s a part of their job," quips Bhadouria.
As per the dietary guidlines given to the hotel management by the PCB, all food should be rich in carbohydrates. Sure enough, potatoes, both mashed and baked figure prominently on the menu for the Pakistani team. The chefs too have prepared a special dum aaloo dish for the Men in Green. Wonder whether, Pak''s cool as a cucumber skipper would dig the aloo dig?
