Inzimam definitely needs to be educated on how to run b/w the wkts ;).
In the last one day he turned around and was watching Alec Stewart gather
the ball while Aamir Sohail was going for then. He remained glued in that
position until Aamir almost reached his (Inzimam's) crease. On the
previous occasion when he was run out he kept looking over his shoulder at
the fielder while running towards the other end and was almost standing
still when the ball hit the stumps. He is not very quick but the run outs
have more to do with bad running rather than lack of fleet-footedness.

I second that, I remember one incident during a home series against
the Aussies, The commentry by who but FredunDe Vitre went something 
like And I quote " That ball has been hit hard by ****(I forget batsman)
and Wait am minute I think Doshi is getting under it, It's a fairly 
difficult catch for doshi and he is out"  Then turning to Patudi, He
remarked " Tiger, dont you think that ball must have come on so fast  
that doshi must have had no clue that he had caught it " 
And Patudi remarked " No I felt Doshi had no choice"

Ahh doshi, he was a comical figure..

I think it was John Beard of Australia, a left-handed lower middle
order batsman who, perhaps, also bowled off-spinners. The bowler was
Azhar Khan, playing his first test, who got a wicket on his fourteenth
delivery in tests. 

The match was in its dying moments, and was heading towards a tame draw.
Alan Border became the only player in the history of tests to top 150
in each innings: 150* and 153. In fact, it could have been he who was
out stumped. Can anybody confirm this?

The regular 'keeper Tasleem Arif was bowling at the time, and he went
on to take his only test wicket. That was probably Beard. 

>	b) How many catches did Javed take while keeping the wickets? 

The total, I don't know, but I do remember a most spectacular effort,
to dislodge none other than Vivian Richards. Even the king was stunned
at seeing that Miandad reached the ball. 

It was a very fine snick down the leg side, and Javed dived full-length
to his left, adn go the ball when he was almost horizontal, suspended
in air!

  Is this the same David Boon who covered for Ian Healy's injury during the
World Cup, and performed admirably behind the stumps? Boony may look a bit
tubby, but as well as being one of the fastest Australians between the
wickets when quick singles are needed, he's the regular reflex catcher at
silly mid-on.
  A couple of years ago the obvious vote would have been for Phil Tufnell,
the butt of many a joke on the Ashes tour, but I see he's been practising.
Navjot Sidhu strikes me as being lazy in the field, but I'll agree with the
above that the majority of the Sri Lankans do need to work on their
fielding.

Amar Singh was from Gujarat - a Rajput. He was considered the best medium pacer
in his time. His bother L Ramji was genuinely quick but very erratic. He had
sent a few English batsmen to the hospital in a local match when England toured
India in the 30-40's.

Ghavri was difinitely not quicker than Kapil. TA Sekar was much quicker than
any modern day Indian fast bowler. But he just couldn't bowl an out swinger and
also couldn't field.

kar scored 119 vs England at Old Trafford in Aug. '90 at the age of 17 years

the test debut.  The door was opened for Malik when senior Pakistani players
protested Javed's captaincy. Javed Miandad accpeted to play under Imran Khan.
To show his "goodwill", Imran played under Javed in the next game. The whole

	   why they changed the ball.
	c. there has been any response from Pakistan

Just for the record, I'm quite able to accept that W&W are an outstanding
pair of bowlers who don't need to cheat to rip their way through quality
batting line-ups. However, I'm still curious as to the official outcome of
this matter.

I would like to propose the following names:
Greg Matthews of past : He used to jump in joy without even 
looking at umpire only to see the Batsman standing rooted
at the crease abd the Umpire with no expression on his face.

Manoj Prabhakar and More in tandem.
