Izzy loved cricket. He spent every spare moment at the local cricket field, practicing his bowling, batting, and fielding.
One sunny afternoon, as he rummaged through an old equipment bag, he found a peculiar cricket ball. Its surface was smooth and shiny on one side, while the other was dull and scuffed.
Curious, Izzy rubbed the shiny side to make it sparkle. Suddenly, the world around him began to spin.
When the spinning stopped, Izzy found himself standing in a massive cricket stadium. The noise was deafening, and he glanced up to see the scoreboard: South Africa vs. Australia, Wanderers, March 12, 2006.
