The first poster suggested Kapil was behind the others. I tend to agree with
you and rate Hadlee not as good an allrounder as Kapil, Imran or Beefy Botham.

BUT If there is a difference it is not the huge gulf you seem to suggest.
Consider:
 
In a 1983/84 Test vs. England Sir Richard topscored, scoring more than the
ENTIRE England side could manage in either innings.

When Sir Richard completed the `double' in English County Cricket, the first
for 20-odd years. He averaged over 50 with the bat and as usual well under 20
with the ball, for the season.

Sir Richard was still one heck of a good allrounder, able to murder bad 
bowling and produce great innings in times of trouble. There is no doubt that
had NZ cricket's requirements been different at the time, he would have been
able to apply himself with more dedication as a Test Batsmen.

Perhaps it does seem as if recently suggested (and enforced) rule changes 
are to the disadvantage of the West Indies. Of course, the one bouncer per
batsmen per over rule is an example. I doubt that this rule will last very
long though. It has been rarely enforced this season in Australia and has
certainly been interpreted *very* liberally by the Australian umpires. I
would guess that this liberal interpretation is on instruction from the
Australian Cricket Board (ACB). 

There are two other factors pointing to the removal of this law: the West
Indians pace bowlers are very adept at adjusting their length so that they
are bowling short balls that rise just below shoulder height (I would think
these deliveries are in fact more intimidating than bouncers); and that 
the general consensus in the cricket world (commentators, ex-players,
newspapers, rsc, my friends...) is that it is a silly rule.

Unfortunately, for the West Indies I think there will be continued moves to
introduce other rules that may disadvantage them, but which may improve
Test cricket. For example, run penalties for failures to bowl the required
number of overs, increasing the run penalties for no balls (no balls are
now penalised with 2 runs in Australian domestic matches), and perhaps even
increased over rates.

I tend to think that such changes would be beneficial to the game. I do
believe that spinners need to be brought back into the game, and that this
can only be done by enforcing over rates. Cricket is just so much more
interesting when spinners become a significant part of the game. Although,
this would definitely hamper the West Indies in the short run, I really
believe such moves are necessary, and that eventually the West Indies will
adjust and still be a cricketing power. After all, they did produce one the
game's best spinners in Lance Gibbs.

Unfortunately, as good as the West Indian bowlers are, they are quite
defensive bowlers, in the sense that they concentrate very much on short of
a length bowling, unlike the Pakistanis and Australians who pitch the ball
up a lot more in order to make it swing (and consequently are easier to
score off). One could of course also argue that the WI batsmen are more
agressive, which I think is true, nevertheless I think my point is valid.
While, I certainly wouldn't want to outlaw the former approach, it would 
be lot easier to endure if it was complemented by some spin bowling.

Any other thoughts on these matters?

Subject: Confident Azar Expects Silence from Critics....

Azhar hopes win will silence critics

	CHANDIGARH, India, Jan 22 (AFP) - Indian skipper Mohammad
Azharuddin, under fire for a disastrous South African tour, hopes
his critics  will shut  up after Thursday's  five-wicket win over
England.

	"It is a good feeling to be  back on the winning," Azharu-
ddin said after contributing a stylish  36 to take  India past the
199-run target in the  second one-day international.  "Our  perfor-
mance has proved many people wrong.  It was a team effort and this
win has boosted the morale of the side immensely."

	His captaincy has  been on the line after  a 2-5 defeat in
the one-day  internationals and a 1-0  loss in the Tests inflicted
by South Africa where his own batting form fell apart.

	England  won the  first one-day  match  on  Monday by four
wickets in Jaipur, and Azharuddin did not help his cause as a bats-
man or as a captain by struggling to score just six.

	But on  Thursday before  30,000 home  fans at Chandigarh's
Sector 16 Stadium  everything went  right for  the skipper at  the
venue of his only Test win as captain, over lowly  Sri Lanka. 

	He won the toss  and asked  England  to take  first strike,
his bowlers justifying the decision by restricting the tourists to
a modest total.  Batting  with new-found  confidence, the  Indians
cruised past the target. Navjot Sidhu, the big-hitting opener seen
by England as the danger man, struck a blistering 76. Azharuddin's
36 came off 44 balls and he stroked the ball  with a new-found con-
fidence.

	"I am really  happy to get  runs," the Indian captain said.
"I was timing the ball well. I was under pressure when I walked in
but I was determined to get  runs.  I am glad I contributed to the
team's victory."

	His  England  counterpart  Graham  Gooch  was  generous in
defeat. "The Indians  deserved to win," he said. "They bowled well
and batted well.  The toss was a vital factor but we wouldn't like
to make excuses. The team which played better on the day won."

	Former cricket great Sunil Gavaskar wrote in his newspaper
column that the win may be a signal that India's--and Azharuddin's
-- luck was turning.  "Is this the  new innings  for  both him and
Indian cricket?" he wondered. 

	The remaining four internationals will be played after the
three-Test series ends on February 23.

| 	WHO IS THIS PLAYER? NEVER HEARD OF IT.

Perhaps my all time favourite player (not the one  I think was the
best, just favourite for some reason), always liked it when he
and Walters were at the crease together.

He played 31 tests from 68 to 73, number 6 batsman usually, but
included as an all rounder really - no he didn't bowl, he fielded.
And did he ever field, in covers he probably saved more runs than
he ever made with the bat.  Simply glorious to watch, and while
he never really made as many runs as he probably should have, he
was nice to watch batting too.

Incidentally, he wasn't dropped when he retired, Sheahan was one
of the (comparatively few) academically competent cricketers,
and retired to concentrate on his teaching career, he's now
head master (or principal, or whatever the correct title is these
days) at Geelong Grammar, on the committee of the Melbourne Cricket
Club (for which he played), and occasionally comments for ABC
radio (very occasionally unfortunately these days, as he's definitely
one of the best they've ever had as their "expert" commentator).

Unfortunately I don't have his complete figures around anywhere,
maybe someone does - not thet they'd do him justice anyway, as
runs saved aren't part of what's collected.

He's definitely a good choice for an All time ODI Aust team, forget
whatever he might score, just count what the opposition doesn't make
because he's there.

And for whoever it was that thought that because he was listed second
he must be an opener, and was going to replace him with Marsh, no,
you wouldn't want to do that, Sheahan was at least as good a bat (down
the order) as Marsh was, and a much much better fielder (and Marsh
in gully was pretty good himself).

 Gavaskar has hit really good sixes in tests. Most memorable ones are

1.  The six of Marshall's ball in Delhi (1983). In that match almost everyone hit him for
 a six.
2.  Three against Pak in Madras (1987).
3.  Few against Aus in the tied test MADRAS.
4.  One against Willis in MADRAS 1982.
OOOOPs You cannot afford to count the sixes of a man who has hit 10000 runs.
These were one of the few best shots that came to my mind.

Or that it gets lodged in his visor and he has to wrestle with

Excellent team, though my own preference would be Kirsten at 3
with McEwan at 5 instead of Barlow. Also Lamb, if available, 
might make it in in place of McEwan. There is the usual problem
of Richardson or Jennings as wk.  By the way, how much 1-day

If one watched the England-Pakistan one day series last year, both Rameez  
Raja & Salim Malik showed how inept they were as captains. Shoaib has been  
in & out of the team so often that he can't be given such a job. Waqar may  
be young, but there are few other automatic choices for the squad.

Imran should, in support of Wasim & Waqar, formally retire from active  
cricket & be the Pakistani team manager & coach rolled into one. If he is  
given the power that he had as captain to select & train the team, Wasim &  
Waqar can, under his guidance, lead the team to new highs.

Rumor that I'm starting: If Wasim Akram succeeds as captain, India might  
think of having Sanjay Manjrekar as skipper.
