I suspect Mike Batt fell foul because he credited his silence "Batt/Cage" - clearly copied.
2 minutes silence has prior use and a different creative trajectory (as has been pointed out), so it should be fine. (Unless the law decided to be ass like.)
Is putting "Pause" in a play infringing Pinter? Is putting "Pinteresque pause" in a play infringing Pinter?
