Both sides are bowling very well, although not at an unplayable level. The
pitch is not impossible as demonstrated by Merv Hughes (43). In West Indies
first innings a number of players reached the 40s and didn't go on with it.
Same with Australia's innings. In Windies second innings, Richardson got 72
and Hooper 25, the rest fell like flies. There was an element of loose batting,
although the tail couldn't cope with either of May or Warne.

I think the pitch was just about the perfect test wicket pitch, with bounce,
spin, a bit of movement of the seam, but all of it consistent, which gives the
batsmen a good chance. Overall, an enthralling match.

I like the oozing confidence above, when u say the "nick ... was clearly
off his helmet visor.  Not even close to the bat or gloves".

Well, time to fall flat on your nose, for, by McDermott's own admission,
the ball nicked the back of his glove (after hitting the visor) on its
way to Murray.  That foot in your mouth must hurt ;-)

Border, after the match, said to the press that the decision was a
brave (and correct) one by umpire Hair.  One would assume that he said
this after consultation with McDermott, verifying that it was indeed
out.

Moreover, I don't think umpires "make amends" for previous follies.  To
rectify one (unconscious) error with another (conscious) error is worse
than the first error!  This is a lesson all good umpires learn (and are
taught) early on.  Yes, the earlier not out decision was pretty poor. 
Still, I am sure umpire Hair would have just got on with it, unconcerned
about previous follies.

It seems that the Indian selectors are not learning
from past mistakes or is the zonal quota system not
forgotten yet.

Manjrekar is perhaps the most technically equipped
player in the Indian side and it is sad to know that
he has not been considered for the test side.

The 'Sharma' in the middle order me be Ajay Sharma, picked
due to his recent scores in domestic cricket.

More in the team ??!??? Oh no, not again !
I thought that V.Yadav had done quite well in the
series against S.Africa.

Now, Raman and More can be sure, that they will be dropped
if they don't deliver the goods. Healthy competition is always
welcomed.

Viv Richards hit 6 successive 4's in a test (I think it was against England)
which was the record of scoring most runs in a test over (24 runs) which
was equalled by our great Kapil Dev against England in the 1990 test series.
Eddie Hemmings of Nottinghamshire was bowling and India needed 24 runs to 
follow-on and India were 9 wickets down, the non-striker was Hirwani. Kapil
played the first two balls so defensively that nobody had expected what
followed. He hit Eddie for 4 consecutive 6's over long-on boundary and if
there were any more balls left in that over then I am quite sure he would
have hit them for sixes... So India got their 24 runs and it was the end of
Eddie's over. The next over Hirwani's stumps flew away.

So Kapil matched Viv Richards record of most runs in a test over.

Akram is appointed as the next Pakistan captain?! This is indeed surprising. 
Not that Akram lacks experience or that he is incapable of leading the side 
but the question is was Javed so bad? It has been seen in the past that 
teams winning big tournaments have invariably undergone a bad patch. Take it
 India after 1983 WC or Aus after 1987 WC. Whenever some key players
retire, the team has to undergo  drastic adjustments and rebuilding 
process takes some time. It is here that an experienced player like 
Javed is absolutely needed. He needs to be given full charge(like Border
after 1987 WC)If the selectors do not show complete confidence in a player
as capable as Javed, then it is bad not only for Javed's own career but also
 for the whole of Pakistan team. 
Personally it is my feeling that whenever a bowler (fast) is made the captain
 of the team, he generally tends to overbowl or underbowl himself.
I hope nothing like this happens to Akram. 
That would not only be a loss to Pakistan cricket but also to world cricket.
I hope it doesn't mark the end of The Best Bowler In The World Today.

Richie Richardson won the toss and elected to bat. The teams are as
follows:

WI: Haynes, Simmons, Richardson, Lara, Arthurton, Hooper, Murray, Benjamin,
Bishop, Ambrose, Walsh.

Aus: Taylor, Boon, S.Waugh, M.Waugh, Langer, Border, Healy, Warne, Hughes,
May, Hughes, McDermott, Dodemaide (12th).

As you can see, I didn't predict the teams very well in my last posting.
Jimmy Adams must feel very unlucky to have been left out. I can't believe
that May made the 12, I would have thought that Border would have been 
adequate as a 2nd spinner.

and not pick up a fair share of tailenders.

I'd  like to add that it makes perfectly good cricketing sense to bring your top
strike bowler back to clean up the tail quickly. No nasty last wicket stands
that way. If you take a look at Imrans figures for the series of 1982-83,
I think (this is from memory), Imran was good at coming back and quickly
getting rid of Doshi and Maninder to wipe up the tail. I find it hard
to believe that anyone would question Imran's ability based on this fact.

Just a few definitions from "A Cricket Dictionary"--

APPEAL- A 250 decibel scream made to overcome the obvious congenital deafness

        so common in the umpiring profession.

AVAGOYAMUG- The mysterious, almost religious chant that comes out of the
            mouth of the cricket spectator.Sometimes it can be repeated 
            by the one person 1200  times in an afternoon,especially if the
             Englishmen are batting.

BLOCK- Taking block, a slow painful ritual involving an incoming batsman,
       the umpire and a little pitch excavation.A means of postponing the
       fearful onslaught.

BRADMAN- See God.

BYE- A way of scoring a run or more by cleverly missing the ball.The umpire
     raises one arm as if he wants to leave the room.The wicketkeeper wishes
     he could.

CAUGHT BEHIND- Trapped in the turnstiles.

COMMENTATOR- He's venerable.His eyesight is not as good as it was in 1938
              but it's remarkable how he can still pick an inswinger or an 
             outswinger from 200 metres.Whats going on in the centre can be
             a wretched inconvevience when he's just recalling that marvellous
             incident on the fourth day of the Fifth Test in 1948.He is superb
             at describing seagulls and most graceful at 5pm when he refers to
             the long shadows moving across the ground.At 6pm during the summing             up he can usually cause a shock by actually referring to the days
             play.

ESKY- A trade device used for carting refreshments mostly into sports grounds.
      Many of them are made of plastic foam.In moments of extreme emotion during      Test matches it is done to break up your esky and throw the pieces at
 .    other emotive creatures.

EXTRAS- Or in politer circles,sundries.Here we have the collection of no balls
        and byes.Extras is quite a fellow.Sometimes he is so skillful he is 
        the top scorer of the day.

FOOTBALL- A crude winter game played with an inflated pigskin.It provides much
          tedious talk in the newspapers,bars and on the airwaves.If particular
           care is not taken it will get worse and the desire will arise to play          it all year round.

GOD- See Bradman.

HORSE RACING- A strange unecessary sport where horses are thrashed into
              competing against one another.It is used for the sole purpose
              of interrupting cricket descriptions on the radio.

Well,there you go.Enjoy.

One tends to underestimate how well Eddie performed. I just looked up
his Gilette/Datsun/... record: 1267 runs at 45.25 and 41 wickets
at 21.07; less than 3 runs to the over. Amongst those with more than
1000 runs, only  Pollock, Cook and Fothers have better averages, and I
don't think many people will accuse Barlow of making his runs slowly.

England have bid for the 1995 WC as have India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka. South Africa
withdrew their bid late last year to concentrate resources on domestic cricket.
I think that the ICC are going to decide in september who gets it.

	I dont remember the six he hit off Marshall, but during the
	same innings, in the over he got out (bowled Gomes), he
	did hit Gomes out of the ground.

   Unlike for the first three tests, this test was shown in its entirity on the
first day. It was on satellite G6, channel 20. Try other channels on the same
bird if you don't see on channel 20.

    Last night there was quite an activity on cricket channel on irc. You can
get in at any time, see the scores and then get off. If you already got a
working irc, check it out after 7:30 pm EST. If you do not do the following:

telnet to   bradenville.andrew.cmu.edu

login as some name  (it does not matter what)

You will be in irc.

Then type      

/join #cricket

viola, you will be seeing all the messages bouncing forth.


Have fun,
