In which case it wouldn't be a cavalry vs. infantry duel, but just single combat between a mounted man and a man on foot. Both "cavalry" and "infantry" imply massed or at least group action.
Just nitpicking.

Thanks, but if you want to see an even greater mounted archer, search for Lajos Kassai. Maybe you know him, as he is said to be the best all over the world, and has mounted-archer schools from Canada to New-Zealand.[/quote]

Ah. I've just noticed this. Jean de Joinville speaks of riders tucking their longswords under their armpits in the manner of lances, and that was during the Damietta crusade--in the mid-13th century, before the appearance of lance-rests proper.
