The Netherlands will play against Denmark 1st and 2nd of august.

AND: will play againt PAKISTAN end of september (or august, I'm not sure).

Remember: last year The Netherlands beat the West Indies in one of two
          one day matches.

and:
          four years ago, The Netherlands beat England in a one day match.

Playing with the worlds best cricketers is a must for the Netherlands.

One major difference between The Netherlands and most of the other second
rated countries is the cricket-history: It came out of nothing, played by
the Dutch themselves, other countries more or less got it from their colonial
past.

I think this is a better basis for cricket, which will last longer.

	   The funny thing is that when English umpires make such
decisions they are mistakes, and when a *&!^&%^# colored umpire does
it is dishonesty. Racism never fails to amaze me.

i think this is about w. g. grace. it seems that at close of play, as the
batsmen and the fielders were walking back in, the striker said to w. g. "its
a good thing you didn't appeal on that last ball, because i was plumb in front"
(or some such words). so, w. g. being the sportsman that he was, appealed for
an lbw first thing the next morning and got the decision in his favor. of
course, this may be an apocryphal story told specifically to show how bloody-

I have read in news-paper here in New Zealand that during last week's
county Pakistan has already won 50000 pounds bonus money by beating a
team in a very high scoring match. In fact the lsat match has been drawn
due to rain etc. Here are the (approx.) scores of the match which
Pakistan won to qualify for bonus:

First day: Pakistan won the toss and batted upto one hour after tea and
scored 307/7 dec. County (do not know the name) played and scored 62/0.
Second day: County hammered 358/4 dec. upto tea time. Two centuries. One
by something like D.Jones. (134 not out).
Third day: Pakistan scored 347/6 dec. upto one hour after lunch, and
asked county to score some 299 runs in three hours or so. County team
was all out at 190s giving Pakistan a 107 runs win. D.Jones again scored
a century.

Interesting match. Around 1200 runs in three days.

Congrats to England on their win, and to both sides for some exciting cricket.
2 questions:
(1) Does anyone out there know how many first-class centuries Gooch now has? I 
think he had 91 before the start of this English season, so he should be 
pretty close to a 100..
(2) How do England manage to win so many Tests with a bowling attack that, on 
paper, is rather less than awe-inspiring?

Comment (not mine, Vic Marks on BBC):
"Of all the fast bowlers I have seen in full cry, Waqar is the most 
exhilarating, because, more than anyone else, he goes straight for the middle
stump".

Doesn't the umpire have the responsibility of asking the bowler what he is
going to bowl?  In that case why should the bowler be penalised by a no-ball.

	My eye is always caught by the fact that Lancashire leads (and has
	done so for most of the season) the counties in both batting AND
	bowling points but still has only one win and is 14th. In fact this
	seems to have been a feature of Lancs over the past several seasons.
	They do very well in OD games (though one could argue that they could
	do even better) but are rarely in the running for the championship.
	Rather like the Red Sox (for baseball fans) - one of the highest 
	salaried teams but they stink.

	I follow them with interest because they have Gehan Mendis - the only
	Sri Lankan playing for a county for the last 10 years (I don't think
	Sanjay Naik had him in the list). He is now England qualified but about
	the time SL got Test status there were efforts to get him for the SL team.
	However he decided to try for the Eng. team (he was talked about for a
	spot in the early 80's but never made it) and declined.

	A question for someone in the UK - how is the touring team doing in
	their county matches? They seem to have won more games than any recent
	side I can remember. Are they still offered that huge bonus for winning
	x number of games?

for this satori like enlightenment. And in a futile attempt
to straighten this crooked record, I must confess that I
didn't know this bonus being offered to other touring teams
in recent years. I thought it was a nefarious attempt to

  In that case why is it that sports like hockey are included in the Olympics?
  A clear case of inconsistency, right?

England 270/2.  Smith tried to drive on out side the off stump and
gave an easy catch in the covers.  THe partnership had just crossed
the 100.  A very useful innings indeed.  Fased 107 balls and hit 7
4's.  I'll try to get his score (fourtysomething, I guess).

Akram, Aquib and Waqar seem to have done all the bowling this morning.
The new ball is due by not taken, neither has Mushtaq seen an y action.

Akram's figures were 40-11-1-61 a while ago and Aquib 13-2-1-42.
I'll try to confirm these.

	To all inferior races:   

		The true master race is back and as always ready...

	I challenge all lesser races to prove this fact for themselves
		I want an intellectual discussion on the merits of 
			bashing the inferior races out of existence
				as we almost succedded with the jewish scum

						God Bless You
