his highest in 1st class cricket is 193, made pretty early in his career (1979
or therabouts). kapil hasn't really made many big scores because of his
batting style. his last really big innings would have been the 163 (165 balls)
vs SL in 1986-87 at kanpur. of course he's got a couple of test 100's since
then, but both have ended at 11x or so.

Yep, this is correct. the umpire signals nothing. One further point ( and this
is in the MCC Laws), the umpire cannot reconstruct the broken wicket until the
ball has been delivered and run its normal course (technically until the ball
becomes "dead" through normal play). The non-stricking batsman, however, may
reconstruct the wicket before the ball becomes dead.

I thought Pakistan needed *four* runs to tie the score off the last ball.
It might have given them the win because of the rules regarding what to do
in case of tied scores. I'd appreciate if someone can mail the scorecard
of that match.

Also, can someone from England state the number of first class matches the touring
side needs to win in order to qualify for the bonus?

Thanks.

In world cup there were some bad/wrong decision by the umpires at different
times and different matches, but there was no hue or cry raised by the
teams/players......
Another example in 1987 world cup semi final two bad decisions by umpire
non other then shepard and dickybird cost pakistan the match against Australia
(not to take credit from Australia), but no untoward incident took place in
that matche also...

Gooch's 135 was his 17th Test century and his highest against Pakistan (previous
was at Karachi in '87)

Gooch and Atherton became the most prolific England opening pair (average
of 67.2) since Hobbs/Sutcliffe who averaged 89.19.

Does anyone know Gooch's Test average? Pre-South Africa, Post-South Africa and

| Is it necessary that a ining should be started with a new ball?

This is one I'd never really considered, but law 5(3) says

	Subject to agreement to the contrary, having been made before
	the toss, either captain may demand a new ball at the start of
	each innings.

from which I'd conclude that there's no requirement at all to take
a new ball at the start of a team's second innings - though it gives
absolutely no guidance at all about which ball should be used if a
new one isn't.  Maybe even for the team batting second's first innings.

5(4) governs taking the new ball, but its in terms of "overs bowled
with the old one" and doesn't explicitly limit that to in one innings,
so I'd assume that if you start with a 40 over old ball, then after
45 more overs (or however many applies in the particular match) the
team could take a new ball.

I don't actually see this happening often in first class cricket though.

  As far as I can recollect  sunny did say that he was playing his last match
 while in Bangalore. More over the match aginst MCC was for the bicentenary
celebration of MCC. I also remember reading in one of the articles that he
wanted to hit a century in Lords before retiring from first class cricket. And
so he did with a wonderful 188 and a duck in the second innings( Doesn't it
resemble Bradman's record).  Any way `Great People Retire Alike'.

I tried posting a message but something got screwed up and so here I go
again:

As I remember pak needed 3 to tie and 4 to win of the final ball in the sharjah
final played on 18th April(?)1986.
Pak needed 6 of the last 3 balls and Kapil was having problems having the
required number of people inside the circle.He had to bring in Binny
(was he in the team or was he the 12th man??)from deep square leg boundary

to just inside circle.Now the canny batsman Miandad is noticed this and
glided next one from Sharma fine on the leg side.It looked as if it will
easily beat the fielder inside the circle and will run into the ungaurded
fence.But to my pleasant surprise Binny had covered his ground very well
and had restricted the scoring to a single.With Tausif on strike things
looked rosy for india and commentators had already started talking about
this bit of fielding as the deciding factor in the photofinish.Tausif
just tapped the next one from sharma in direction of azhar and to my
utter surprise azhar just froze.Chetan Sharma was in front of wkts
rather than behind to colllect the throw and indians didn't even try
to runout the batsman when the run to me looked to be suicidal.Sharma
ran into to bowl the final ball to Javed after delibrating with his 
captain for a long time(and I heard people complaining about the fact
that Kapil didn't advice sharma before the ball)and rest is history
now.

Yes, it is true. Nicholas was given out bat and pad after consultations with the square leg 
umpire. The batsman made it very clear what he thought of the decision as he was walking 
off. The umpire checked with the square leg umpire again who said he had been 
misunderstood the first time: he had meant "not out". So Nicholas was called back much 
to the chagrin of the Pakistanis. Didn't really matter, Pakistan won the match.
