You are missing the point here. No one claims that wicket-keeping is
easy or that they can keep wickets better than More (though, having
seen him in action, I'm sure tempted to say so :-). The pertinent
question here is: 

Is More competent enough to keep wickets at Test level, given his 
numerous screw-ups and bunglings? 

After seeing Derryck Murray, Wasim Bari, Rod Marsh and Syed Kirmani 
(to name a few accomplished practitioners of the craft) in action, one 
NEED NOT BE a wicket-keeper to see that More's wicket-keeping *stinks* 
big time, to put it mildly. Like someone commented earlier, his average
dropped catch/bungled stumping/etc. must be between 1 and 2 per INNING 
- clearly not Test material, leave alone world-class.

I always thought he got into the Indian team due to the blessings of
some godfather in the selection committee. The jokers, not surprisingly,
have refused to experiment with someone new. In their defence, however,
it is hard to ignore his gutsy batting. He has pulled India out of a rut
many a time with his doughty knocks. It is indeed unfortunate that the 
Indian team has a wicket-keeper who is known more for his feats in front
of the stumps than behind them.

You are probably right about the comments of the nettors, but in my 
opinion the Indian team in general needs some revamping (if that is the 
right word). As far as wicket keeping is concerned, Kirmani and Farook
Engineer have given some outstanding performances and we generally tend
to compare the present players, I suppose. It has been a long time since
I have seen any test cricket (here in Germany what I get is the BBC news
and the r.s.c), but going by the performances in the tests as well as 
ODIs I formed the above impressions.

	"Best" is a matter of opinion, and one that I would tend to share;
but "no-one even close" is much more debatable.  Two that come to mind are
K. R. Miller and W. G. Grace, both with established records in Tests.  Two
more without such records are M. Procter and C. E. B. Rice.  We'll never
know about the last two;  as a matter of opinion, I would rate both of them
as better [batsmen, bowlers, fielders and captains] than their compatriot
and near-contemporary A. W. Greig, who also tends to get overlooked in
these debates, but who has a surprisingly good Test record.

	Sobers was a better batsman than Miller, but Miller was a better
bowler [and also capable of all the styles].  Grace was incomparably the
world's best batsman for decades [only Bradman comes close for domination,
but for a much shorter period, and with less margin over his nearest
rivals], and his batting has very much overshadowed his bowling.  In his
younger days, he was certainly one of the top bowlers of the age, and he
was an outstanding fielder;  unfortunately, he tends to be remembered now
from photographs of his later years, when increasing girth severely limited
his bowling and fielding (and made him a different sort of all-rounder!).
If only Tests had started a decade earlier ....

	It should be noted, incidentally, that nearly all "expert"
commentators are firmly rooted in their own playing era;  very few ever
seem to know much about the cricket of previous eras, and there is often
only a grudging acknowledgement of the skills of the present day.  If you
ever hear a commentator say something like "XX's YY bears comparison with
ZZ's", where XX is a present-day cricketer, YY is some stroke or style of
delivery, and ZZ is a pre-WWII cricketer, then sit up and take note, for
the commentator is unusually perceptive, and his opinion of XX is worthy
of attention.

Does anyone know more about this ? Tendulkar has no experience

Test match experience. It is indeed surprising that he was even

Subject: Re: Indian team -- What now?

I fully agree with Mohan in his article about Indian Team that there was
no need to chop off Kapil just because of one shot in the reliance cup.
There is no doubt that he will surely be a very good captain as he has
always been. Moreover, with his kind of experience and performance
level, no other country but India would keep him away from Captaincy.

As far as, the Question of Manager goes, we could either have a good but
non controversial manager like MAK with Kapil leading the charge ( Imran
and Intiquab style) or we could go in for Gavaskar managing the team.(WI
or Aus style) I don't think there is any rivalry between Gavaskar and
Kapil now, so that shouldn't cause problems either.

I only hope selectors don't make somebody like Prabakar, More or
Manjrekar the captain which they have done in the past. As for Shastri,
I guess he should surely be out of the team. Azza should be the
vice-captain.

Other than Shastri, noone needs to go out. Change of captain would
change the performance drastically.

Any comments !!

Isn't this amazing!  So many of us, Pakistanis and others, 
remember a televised pseudo-sporting event some forteen odd years later.
I remeber them saying that the speed was measured at the point of

no points.  In any case, someone should be making money holding this
regularly, judging from the interest it has generated
