In a recent mail, someone talked about Knighthood for SMG, KD etc.

I believe the Indian Govt. discourages this.

I recall the first mention of this when Hillary and Tenzing climbed Everest
in 1953. Tenzing was not honoured, but Hunt(the expedition leader) and Hillary
were.

The Indian govt. has its own Padma Shree/Bhooshan/Vibhooshan , Bharat Ratna
etc to honour Indians of distinction.

No not really.  Even Martin Crowe said before the tour, it was a 50/50 thing
with odds in SLs favour.  And then half our team came home !  If Sl had not won
it would have been a disgrace for SL cricket to be honest.

Err, no. Not formidable at all.  Look back to the WC.  Look at results against
full strength NZ teams.  Sl are getting better and better but I really think 
that they nd their supporters shouldn't get too carried away.  This was a very,
very waek NZ team.  Think back to that Aussie tour.

You have certainly gone for a side of veterans and left out some younger
players whose performances would get them a spot in any team.  In my opinion
you have one too many fast bowlers. On current form I would drop McDermott. He
maybe getting the tail enders out at present but thats about all. I would
replace him with a batsman. I would have no hesitation to put Sachin Tendulka
in my side. He is a great stroke player, brilliant fielder, and he
can be used to give the fast bowlers a rest. I would also think about putting
Brian Lara in place of either Gooch or Crowe because I feel thats its
important to have some yooth in the side and you cant go wrong with Lara and
Tendulka.
Mushtaq Ahmed is an obvoius choice for spin as are the rest of your choices.
One thing missing however is an all-rounder but there are not many around
these days that are in form.

Regards, Rick.

in a recent article neeran karnik says "donald's better than dev. hadlee,

i disagree with this statement. donald has just started his career as a test
cricketer and he has to prove himself in the long run. it's easy
to have a great record after playing a few matches but it's tough to maintain
that form. it's like a person having a GPA of 4 at the end of the first quarter
and he stops taking courses. you cannot give much credence to that. can you.
if you meant that donald is a better and a more classy batsman to watch
i am not sure you have seen him bat as information read in books is more often thatn

n not misleading. unless of course you have a satellite dish in which

Time and again Indian Batsmen failed to deliver the goods. None of them have

Time for some elementary physics:

If air behaves as an "ideal gas" (not at all a bad approximation), then
the molar density of air does not depend on the nature of the molecules
(nitrogen, oxygen etc) in the gas.  However, the mass density (kg/cubic m)
does depend on precisely what molecules are present. 

Nitrogen has a molecular weight of about 28, not that different
from that of oxygen.  Note that this is because nitrogen molecules
are N2 and N is only 14.

Average molecular weight of air is about 29.

So the mass density = molar density x average molecular weight.

Since water has a lower MW than O2 or N2 it follows that the
mass density of wet air will be lower than that of dry air AT THE SAME
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE.  However, whether or not the pressure and
temperature are the same is another matter entirely.

What all this has to do with the aerodynamics of cricket balls
I have no idea.

	the last I heard was that pak needed 291  to win, they were 33 for 1
at lunch on the last  day. Earlier Pak had made 39? something for 6 in reply
to 27? a.o by  queensland. Quensland made 36?/6 dec in their second innings.
