Here is what the Private Eye had to say
---------------------------------------

How the Pakistanis Won?

1) They bowled too fast.

2) They bowled at the stumps.

3) They even were spinning the ball.

Because of cheating in this way they must be punished.

	I would be surprised if Azharuddin was the world's best fielder,
	I have not seen a lot of him, butdo not remember anything special,
	or any accolades (unlike his batting of which I remember both
	something special and accolades!).

	Both Mark and Steve Waugh are very good, as well as Dean Jones,
	England's w.c. side seemed to be full of brilliant fielders
	(Lewis, Fairbrother?), and David Gower (pre-back injury) was as

	Clive Lloyd (like many of the West Indians) was always famous
	for his fielding.

  Yike!! When I asked my mind who the Indian batsman who opened with Ravi
Shastri on the Australian tour last year was, it (stupid mind) gave me
Navjot Sidhu. So he did, but he isn't the bad fielder I was thinking of -
try Kris Srikkanth for someone who doesn't like to get his hands behind the
ball.
  I apologise to Mr. Sidhu for any slur on his cricket abilities. I think.

	Miandad too no catches in the fifth test.  He scored 59 runs in the
only innings he batted.  The career record (corrected) follows:

  	Javed Miandad towers like a colossus at  the pinacle of  Pakistan's 
 Test cricket, having  played in the  most Tests (117) and the  most innings
 (177), scored  the most runs (8465) with the  best average (54.26), and hit 
 the most  centuries (23) with the  most fifty-plus  scores (64).  He scored 
 more than 1000 runs against four Test playing nations (2000+ against India).
 Javed scored 100s in each innings once [v New Zealand, 104 and 103*, Hydera-
 bad, Pakistan in 1984-85].  Except West Indians, he scored double centuries
 against all bowlers he faced.  Out of 21 Pakistani double centuries in Test
 matches, Javed scored six. He was in three 300+ partnerships too. Miandad's
 career average never droped below 50.
 
	If you want the whole article, pl send me a note.
	
	I have couple of questions here.  
	a) Who was the batsmen to be stumped by Javed?
	b) How many catches did Javed take while keeping the wickets?

Latif was much better...

Oops! That was a bit time fumble! Sorry, folks. JUst ignore my posting

There WAS a bye in the Aus innings. I guess I might have seen a scorecard
pf this inning without a bye, and that somehow stuck in my mind.

I can recall couple of more instances. In 1986 (not too sure about the year),
Gavasker, Azharuddin and Kapil Dev scored hundreds against
Sri Lanka in India. Their respective scores were 176, 199 and 163. 
Azharuddin was out lbw on the very last delivery bowled in the test.

 Couple of tests later against Imran's Pakistan, Srikanth, Amarnath and
Vengsarkar scored hundreds at Madras. Gavasker had made 90 in that innings.

 How often have rival captains scored hundreds in the same test? 
I can think of two cases:
Gavakar (204) and Kalicharan (187) had done it in Bombay. Another one
was the tied test in which Kapil and Border had hundreds.

Any more such instances ??

        Australia, batting first scored 216 for 7 in 50 overs. Dean Jones was
59.

       IN SL innings, Mahanama scored 33 and Huttersingha retired when he was
48. There was a 20 minute rain interruption, the number of overs reduced to 44
and the target was set to 191 (or a little less). After the rain, Ranatunga,
D'Silva and Jayasooriya were out and it looked as though SL may not reach the
target. But in the event, they scored 191 for the loss of 5 wickets with 9
balls to spare, the winning run by Huttersingha.


       New Zealand is starting on a tour of Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. They will
play two tests in Zimbabwe.

I think it was in the Delhi test vs Australia in 79-80 when Gavaskar, Vishwanath
and Yashpal Sharma (his maiden century) scored 100's.
I remember Lala Amarnath predicting at the start of the match that it would be a
draw.  So when Australia were saved in that match by rain the crowd got very angry at him.
