            Srikkanth made 0 and 13 in his debut. The way he got out in the 
second innings was rather comical.  (He strolled out of his crease and was run 
out!).  I suppose he can be called reasonably successful , at least in one 
dayers.

            Vishwanath also made 0 in his debut innings.

	Actually it was me, although I did confess to knowing little about
Sheehan. Going back to Marsh, he really does have a surprisingly good record
in the one-dayers. I say surprisingly because one would think of him as a
test player rather than a one day man, but he plays the sheet anchor role
well and does what India's Shastri is totally incapable of - rotate the
strike. Having said that I don't think he got many games in the WC.

Your description of Sheehan reminded me of Ross Edwards, who I considered
for this one day side. Edwards too was a brilliant fielder and a useful
bat. Again, no knockout figures, but a very useful player. I still have hazy
memories of seeing Edwards for the first time with Ian Chappell's tourists
to England in '75. I vaguely remember Edwards being dismissed for 99 
and thinking to myself 'why didn't the bowler let him get the run before
dismissing him ?' How naive!!!

Yeah, Bharat.  I wish Shastri was available (and in form).

In his absence, I believe that India should go with a 5-5 distribution to 
maximize their chance for a win.  In addition, I believe that the 5 bowlers
should include 2 spinners (no more or less).  This is based on the perception
of the English strength lying with the variety of batsmen in their team (in
that they have some batsmen that play spin well, and others who play seam well)

I believe that going with 6 bats and 4 bowlers would definitely be an overly
defensive tactic (decrease the chance of a loss).

Being the kinda guy that would want to go for a win, I'd choose:

Sidhu, Prabhakar, Amre, SRT (btw, his last 3 test centuries were demonstrative
of his ability to BUILD a big innings.  so, Amre is not the only one), Azhar,
Kambli, Kapil, More, Kumble, Raju/Chauhan, Srinath.

If the top three provide a good start, I like our chances with the 4-7 guys
taking advantage with their strokeplaying.

By the way, it is not necessary for Prabhakar to open the bowling.  Srinath can.

Of course its a sport. And a great one at that.
You heard correct about Baseball visavis cricket though.

Its played with bats and balls just like Baseball is. IT is however less interesting than baseball as yuor friends pointed out. Britishers copied the American game and spread it across the world by force, in their colonial empire (Lets face facts , man !!).

For what it's worth, throwing Kambli in as an opener sounds like gambling with
a talented, un-experienced MIDDLE-ORDER bat.  He should have a chance to gain
experience and confidence as a #5 or #6 stroke player in the team.  And as he
matures more, maybe he will develop into an ideal #3 or even an opener (like
Boon).  But to ask him to sink or swim as an opener would be unfair to someone
with his potential.

And I believe that having Prabhakar open the batting is probably more useful
and important than him opening the bowling.  So, based on the current form,
I'd choose the following:

Sidhu, Prabhakar, Amre/Azhar, Tendulkar, Azhar/Amre, Kambli, Kapil, More,
Chauhan/Raju, Kumble, Srinath.

The choice of who goes in at #3 should depend on the situation.  If the
openers have established a long partnership (in my dreams, right?), Azhar
should come in and try to take advantage with his shots.  Otherwise, Amre
should come in and try to settle down.

I don't think he's one of the best four ever. He was one of the best four in
the eighties, but to rank him ahead of players like Sir Garfield Sobers and
Keith Miller is ridiculuos. He would probably be in the top ten all-rounders,
along with guys like Davidson, Benaud etc, and just behind Imran, Hadlee and
Botham.

Kapildev was hit for a six on his very first ball of the second
innings against Sri Lanka.  SL needed @100 runs in 10 overs, but
couldn't make it.

Yes, but he followed one of the all time great captains also.  Soon after Viv
became Captain he lost the services of Garner, Holding and Larry Gomes, (+
Lloyd's absence) so he did have to fashio his own team to an extent.

There are two counter arguments about Viv.  One is that he was a moody arrogant
SOB who allowed the WI team to go into decline by lack of leadership.  The
other is that he was a captain who maintained pride in a winning team, and was
successful in maintaining the WIs #1 postion.  I think it's a bit of both.

Unlike Lloyd, Brearley and Imran, Viv saw no need to dispense diplomacy,
especially in his various contretemps with the press and variuos officials.  He
therefore suffered in his PR, much of it self-inflicted.  THis does not appear
inspirational I will admit.

At the end of the day you can only judge him on his record, 12-7-5-0.

I read in a local paper yesterday that the deadly duo of Wasim Akram and Waqar
Younis have been named captain and vice-captain of the Pakistan team. There was
no comment on the playing future of Javed.

Seems a pretty interesting move, especially given the age of the players,
especially Waqar. Maybe Wasim will turn into another Imran.


The Speaker.
