Manjrekar does bowl and it _is_ leg-spin as you wrote. He was a pretty good
leggie at high school level. In the words of Manjrekar, "I loved my leg-spin
bowling, but batting was my first priority. You have to make a choice!"

In first class cricket, Manjrekar hardly bowled. Even in his university career,
he cut down on his bowling as he wanted to concentrate on his batting.

Well, actually, he was a good leggie at high school too. He gave up leg-spin
later and took his keeping seriously.

I saw him bowling in a test (when everything was settled and they were waiting
for Shoaib to complete his 200, they used More, SRT (some balls slow medium,
some leg-spin!) etc). He turns the ball pretty well, though he does not have
much control.

Actually, I hope that the English continue to blame the non-English in County
Cricket for the poor performance of their team (although after their last tour
to NZ I'd hate to see what a good performance is), to prevent them addressing
the real issues.
Anyway, I believe that the real reason that the English are no longer
performing as well compared to the others on the world stage is partly due to
the preponderance of OD cricket they are forced to endure, and the county pro
system in which cricket is a career to the pros, who regard it as a job rather
than a sport, and therefore are less inclined to help promising players to
advance and live up to their potential.  All this adds up to a drain on the
competitiveness of the players (Didn't Denis Lillie complain that Grade cricket
in Australia was more competitive than County Cricket).
However the biggest reason for the demise of the English has less to do with
the fall in English standards as the fact that other nations have come up to
scratch, and adopted a more professional and competitive attitude.  For
example, New Zealand used to consider it a victory if it managed to draw a
game, but it now seeks to (and expects to) win many of the games it plays. 
Remember, that Australia, who also used to be the other top nation in cricket,
has also had its down times in the last decade.
Finally, part of the reason England hasn't done so well is simply that form
ebbs and floes.  Is English cricket really worse than when they lost seven (or
was that eight) consecutive tests in the early 1920's?

   I am PISSED OFF!!!!

  THEY'VE EXCLUDED MANINDER ONCE AGAIN!!!

Yes, for the sake of preserving an atrocious system of regional quotas, the
bunch of jokers (including Vishwanath, of course) have persisted with,
Maninder Singh, the best left-arm bowler in the planet today, has been ignored.
He is also a magnificent fielder.


  WAS HE EXCLUDED FOR HIS BATTING?

 NOT!!! His batting has improved tremendously over the past few seasons. 
Even if it hadn't, he would be worth his place on the Indian team which is
so short of good bowlers. His performance with the ball on dead, batting
tracks are for all to see. An exemplary record indeed. Kumble performed well
in the final ONLY! Check out Maninder's record over the past 2 YEARS. Of
course, what with the chairman of the selection  committee being absent for
the crucial matches, it was rather convenient.


WAS HIS AGE (30) AGAINST HIM?

 When Bedi was an erstwhile member of the selection committee, he had
 reckoned that a good team always comprised of young players! In fact,
 he as manager was primarily responsible for the exclusion of senior members
 of the team during the 1989 tour of New Zealand. " We have to build the
  team of the 90's", said he!

      ..and they have failed so far....

  IF this is the criterion for selection, they'd better drop More - he's a 
  lousy keeper anyway!

 WHY JADEJA, INSTEAD OF KAMBLI?

  Poor Kambli! What has he not done to merit a place in the side? It 
  only goes to prove the regional classification developed by the powers that
  be, at the expense of genuine talent. They could not bear to select more
  than so many players from the same Ranji team. 
  He is more classy than Raman. He can also open. He is young, too :-)
    ALAS, BOMBAY! 

 What will we have next, reservation of seats for minorities, etc? 1/2 :-) :-)

Not exactly! he still had those dreams, and burning desires to beat India in
India, England in England and to beat West Indies anywhere! IMHO period 
immediately after his mothers death was the peak of his career i.e.,
he was fresh after his recovery from long shin injury and was reletively young,
for proof just check his bowling and batting performances in mini world cup
series against WI (86) against India(87), england(87) WC(87) against WI (88).

Sad, Maninder was'nt chosen. But, where Maninder allowed the opponents to pile 
600 odd runs and could pick up only 3 wickets, that engineer from Karnataka 
came up with a deadly performance. A flash in the pan, may be (sorry PVR).
I doubt if he can repeat that at any level of cricket. I feel Maninder will be 
in the team when the British tour India. Subrato is in the team on East Zone 
quota. Of course, I don't know much about his recent performances. Can U throw 
some light, Sadiq? Chetan definitely deserves another chance. Should'nt hv been 
dropped in the first place. Real street fighter. Raju has Azhar's backing. And 
also some performances (in domestic cricket) to support his inclusion. An
interesting thing is, either Raman/ Jadeja will play as a regular opener. 
Srinath and Sanjay will be under pressure to perfrom extra-ordinarily. Amre 
can't get in still (into the Test side). A balanced side. But a few slots will
be up for grabs, for the series against England. (Maninder,Ankola,Kuruvilla etc)

Murali, do U hv any idea of Venkatesh Prasad's recent performances? Have'nt
heard much about him after the 1990-91 season (Ranji). He and Srinath were
doing well then, going by the general saying "fast bowlers hunt in pairs".

It's great knwing about the team, but the exclusion of Maninder is not fair at
all to the poor guy as he had performed pretty well in the Deodhar and Duleep
Trophy matches which were concluded just before I left India.

The exclusion of Kambli is probably justified as he somehow seemed to lack the
temperament for the games. I watched him last year and though he is a good
batsman to watch, he does not seem bothered by the team's situation and 
throws his wkt. away.

Bannerjee will probably do well as he is a good mover of the ball and from
what I know of conditions in SA, they are somewhat similar to conditions 
Down Under. There is a dearth of spinners which may prove costly coz I have
seen the SAns playing on TV and in the ground as well and they don't seem to
be very comfortable against spin. In fact, one of their openers, Andrew Hudson
( who scored a big double hundred against Windies in WI ) is pretty bad against
spin. The only persons who play it comfortably are Wessels and Peter Kirsten
( he is a real danger in the ODI's ). They also have Adrian Kuiper -- reputed
to be a big hitter but he tends to throw his wicket away like Kapil.

SA bowling is good. In fact, Allan Donald is one of the quickest ( I have seen
him bowl at Eden Gardens ) bowlers and he certainly generates more pace than
any of the WI bowlers at present. Our players might have a hard time again.
The other good bowlers are Meyrick Pringle ( a very good cut & swing bowler)
- he can really make the ball move and Richard Snell who is more accurate than
the others. If our guys can handle these three then we should be doing well.

Anyone who has news on the rest of the SA team ....

If they are opening with Raman and Jadeja, thwy won't. But, if they are taking

(for example, they played them all in WSC in Oz). I personally don't want to see

Nope, dont know about the spelling but im sure we are talking about the same 
guy. I have a great faith in left arm orthodox spinners and in the mid 
eighties there was no better exponent of the art then maninder. Esp if the
world team was to play in the sub-cont. If he were included the team would
 have a leggie, left arm , and an off ( richard ) spinner. It could be argued 
that he wasn't consistent and his perf at the top only lasted about 2 yrs but 
then again botham didnt do to well in the eighties either ( IMO ofcourse ). I 
have never been impressed by botham dont think that his bowling ( noting that 
the team is one bowler short ) can earn him a place in the side.

What about Eddie Hemmings, or even John Emburey(in his last few tests he
took something like 3 wickets for about 500 runs), they must also be some 
of the least effective spin-bowlers at test level England has had in recent

Rest is best this time in dome cricket clash
 
By Norman Da Costa   Toronto Star
 
    The euphoria of Pakistan's World Cup cricket win in Melbourne
in March, and then the Test series against England, vanished 
yesterday when the squad failed to conquer the Rest of the World.
 
    In a match that included 621 runs, four brilliant batting
performances, world-class fielding and some genuine pace and hostility
from the Pakistani bowlers, the Rest pulled off a six-wicket 
triumph over the world champions before 20,000 fans in the  
annual match at the SkyDome.
 
    Pakistan scored 320 for eight in 45 overs and the Rest 
hammered 321 for four in 38.5 overs.
 
    For the first time in four years, two batters scored 
centuries with Pakistani opener Mudassar Nazar carrying his
bat for 149 and Brian Lara of the West Indies hitting 105.
 
    The two other superb performances with the bat came from
India's Sachin Tendulkar and Pakistan's Inzamam-ul-Haq.  Nazar's
inning was a shrewd mixture of attacking flair and resolute defence
as he reached 50 in 71 minutes, and then took another 51 minutes
to hit a century. In all Nazar batted 150 minutes and his innings
were laced with 18 boundaries and three sixes.
 
     After Pakistan had lost its first two wickets for 63 runs,
Nazar was joined by the 22 year old Haq.  the two piled on
134 glorious runs for the third wicket.
 
     Haq's easy flowing, consumate technique saw him score at will 
and his innings of 83 off only 51 balls included four majestic 
sixes and 10 fours.
 
     Much more not included . . . .
