	Ah! The arrival of another genius! Not that there was any doubt
about Lara's capabilities, but this really, formally includes him in the
"future greats" club, along with Tendulkar and Inzamam.... Must have been
an awesome performance, albeit on a batting pitch. I really envy those of

Comments during this series indicate that Australia did not support
the introduction of this rule.  Whether this is accurate or not is
another matter.

One suggestion I found amusing was that batsmen should be penalised
(fined) if they do not score quickly enough.

>cotah [who is yet to put More's head on a chopping block]


Someone earlier imlied that More's batting was crappy (atleast that's how I
read it). He's one of the few players in our side with balls. Time and
again he's come to our rescue showing players with twice his batting talent
how to bat with application. More's a true Indian, not like some of the
wimps we've got our in our side. I get the feeling that too many of our
batsmen have defeatist attitudes./ I don't want to get emotional about this
but I'd rather have 11 More's in my side than players who don't give their
best.

I confess to being a big More fan, and even I admit that he's had too many
lapses in the field, but noone can question his determination. Now, if
every player in the Indian side was dropped for lapses, our side would look
very different. Maybe, it is time for More to be replaced by Yadav, but I for
one will be sad to see him go. And if Yadav turned out to be as big hearted
as More, then I'd be equally supportive of him.

BTW, of all the players touring SA, More's one of the few who can return with
a little pride. Even Azhar, normally brilliant in the field, had a terrible
time holding onto anything. The real problem with More was that he just
didn't hit enough sixes.

No Raman was not dropped. He was injured. Similarly he was injured before

	Well, not quite true. Pakistan have 3 points with two to play
and Australia have seven. Thus if Pakistan win their remaining two games
and Australia lose their remaining three, and Pakistan make up a truly
enormous difference in run rate, they can still make it. Since in 
order to do this they have to do something like bowl Australia out for
50 twice, I agree it isn't very likely. (How good are Wasim and Waqar?)

This posting is an insult to Sri Lankan cricket team  and fans.  In his

Sri Lankan team is not *that* low.  Ask New Zealanders about them. Just

To all cricket lovers,

In connection with the fast bowling and the related stats- I have few
comments.

In the Bodyline tour, there was an aborigines' fast bowler who bowled at
England and he injured Douglas Jardine. I do not remember his name clearly
`some thing like Eddie ______'(our OZ friends may know).
They say he bowled pretty fast, faster than
Lol Larwood. (In any case his career was too short)

How about Ray Lindwall? How does he compare to Truman?

I agree I did'nt recall any incident of Pakistan playing minitours in between
another tour. Also too much OD cricket seems to put an extra pressure on the
players. I think our BCCP is once again showing carelessness in selecting 
tours.
About batting order change I think, they should try shahid saeed who has 
played a promising ining of 100+ in Australia(I might be wrong in number)
in place of Rameez who is having a little rough time opening the ining. Also
Inzmam has saved his position again what a lucky Multani he is :)
