    Was anybody able to run Dougie in slave mode and connect to ford...? When I
run the program giving the hostname and port number, it says ford.ee.up.ac.za
not resolved. I am running sunos version. I am planning to use this for tomrrow
night's game between Pakistan and WI. Could somebody who is successful contact
me?

The lowest six I have ever seen hit in all my life was one hit by King
Richards, who advanced down the pitch Jeff Thomson or was it Dennis Lillee,and
slashed the lifting delivery in the direction of point who took evasive action,
and the ball missedhis throat by not very much and crashed into the 
advertisement boards.A shot of simply awesome power.

The longest six I have ever seen was hit by Imran Khan who came down the wicket
to Greg Thomas and straight drove him out of the Edgbaston ground. The ball was
recovered from a tennis court almost forty yards away from the ground.When you 
talk of highest I assume longest, because there may be many hits which are 
very high but they just land over the boundary

My cousin claims he saw Clyde Walcott hit a six at Pindi in a side match, which 
not only crossed the ground but also crossed two streets and hit the steeple of
the church which was at least a hundred feet high, and the ball was still
rising,

I saw a clip of Yashpal Sharma hitting Len Pascoe for a straight six at Adelaide
on the 80-81 tour. That was a shot which had pure timing written on it. The big
six hitters like Akram (also Kapil) by and large seem to possess this sweet 
timing and also the ability to get a complete swing - like teeing off (that's
the word Geoff Boycott used to describe kapil's third six off Hemmings in the
Lords Test).
  Here's a invite to netters to take a trip down memory lane - what in your
opinion is the lowest six you've ever seen?
There's two shots which I've seen:
1) Botham hitting Lillee at Headingly in '81 for a straight six. Lillee had to
duck to save his head.
2) Martin Snedden teeing off against Roger Binny (?) in the '87 World Cup.
 Both hits went 12 - 15 feet at the maximum.

And how about the highest sixers? I bet Viv Richards hit many of these.

         hit Viv Richards for a huge six over the midwicket 
         boundary to win the Nehru Cup for Pakistan in Calcutta.

Many Oz netters, particularly those of sub-continental extraction, have waxed
lyrical in the past about the intelligence and unusual insight shown by Peter
Roebuck in his cricket columns in the Sydney Morning Herald.

Well, he's now given his own One-day rankings for world teams - and it ain't
a pretty sight for Pakistani and Indian supporters.  Hs rankings:

	1.  England
	2.  South Africa
	3.  Australia
	4.  West Indies
	5.  Pakistan
	6.  New Zealand
	7.  Sri Lanka
	8.  India
	9.  Zimbabwe
	10. Netherlands

Does this now mean Peter Roebuck knows nothing about cricket?  :-)

My two cents worth on the matter of Kapil mankading Kirsten etc:

What is interesting about this incident is not whether Kirsten was
stealing a run or not. Obviously the umpire gave him out so he was out
of his crease. And of course we all know that bowlers seldom use this
tactic. What is interesting is that a player of the stature and nature
of Kapil does something like this. It can only mean that Kapil is
getting extremely frustrated, and if so, then the whole Indian team
must be feeling that way. This spells disaster for the Indian side and
it would not be surprising to see sweeping changes in the side for the
series against England.

As to whether Kapil was running on to the pitch in the last test: that
is easy. The umpire knows the rule and it is quite clear. Either Kapil
was warned or he was not. What's the issue? A lot of fast bowlers have
used as much of what the law allows. It is all a part of the game and
has been for a long time.  Spofforth, the demon bowler, is widely
believed to have run up the pitch in the first innings so that he
could take advantage of it in the second.

At the time that I write this, it looks like India will have to chase
a nice total in the third ODI vs RSA. I hope they do well or else the
team may just disintegrate.

Phew!!  A straight drive for 6 at Adelaide... that is quite a feat.  I
seem to remember Greg Chappel running only 5 because he was laughing
too hard to run the 6th of a straight drive that stopped at long on
(something about the fielder having to make TWO throws to get theball
in).... the sightscreen is far, far away at Adelaide....
