New Zealand Board of Cricket has decided unanimously that the tour of Sri Lanka
should proceed as scheduled. Its President McDermott is flying to Colombo to
talk to the players. He will also hold talks with the British and Australian
High Commissioners and others to assess the security situation. After
appraising the players of the situation, a decision will be made within forty
eight hours - if the tour proceeds, any player who wants to go home will be
released. Most of the players seem to be shook up as they did witness the bomb
blast and the death of five persons.

One question I have is that was Bradman dismissed by Eric Hollies the last time
he stepped onto the cricket field?

shariq@charlie.usd.edu

No it wasn't Bradman's last time on a cricket field.

Eric Hollies bowled Bradman second ball for 0 in the last test of 1948 E v A.
England batted again in the match and lost by an innings so presumably Bradman
stepped onto the field as a fielder after his last test innings.

Also Bradman batted in some more first-class matches on the 1948 tour and played
in 2 first class matches in australia in 1948-9. Bradman came out of retirement
to play for the Aus Prime Minister's XI vs Peter May's England tourists in 58-9.

	For a team that boasts of some of the world's finest
batting talent in the world on paper, India consistently fails
to deliver the goods. The number of times the top order has
failed in the last two series is embarrassing.

	To conteract this is the fact that each and every time the 
top order fails the tail wags quite merrily, except for the one test
in Australia where whitney ripped through(as usual a left handed pacemen)
the indian batting, India has consistently scored over 200 everytime we have
gone out to bat.

	My personal theory is that the present batting lineup has too
many stroke players and very few technically sound players. Azza, Tendulkar,
kapil,shastri etc are all very fine to watch if they are in nick, but 
to expect consistency in them is expecting too much. Manjrekar has the
technique but is slowly eroding it by playing one day cricket and also
can't run well to save his life.

	So in essence we have a top order dependent more on their nick
than their technique and a tail which has better batting technique than
most of their peers. Why not allow More to open the batting, I mean what
difference does it make between batting in the beginning or two hours
later ;-)

more comments later, as the match progresses

But ian't that the same as using the veto?  If England threaten to veto motions

Right in one!   (Should have stopped there.)

From the USVBA volleyball rules, Commentary on rule 7:

3) POSITION OF PLAYERS

The position of players is judged according to the position of their feet in contact with the team
court at the time the ball is contacted for service.  A player who is not in contact with the team
court will be considered to retain the status of the last point of contact with the team court.

   So perhaps next year you won't be so quick to brush off the UCSD
women.

  They made the final four (and maybe more...) with a losing record,
AND a very young team (One senior and 3 juniors) AND only two
returning starts with only 5 or 6 retupning players at all!

  Quite an achievment you must admit.

What can be done though (and has been done) is that an ijured player (who is
mobile can stand on the court (or sit) and when the play starts he/she can move
out of the way for the five other players to cover the court.  This of course
is assuming the player is not too badly injured.

Strictly speaking (the way you worded it), you are incorrect.
The key is the word 'closer'.  'Closer' means just that;  what
you have said allows the LB to be as close (but not closer than)
the net as LF.

The book uses 'must not be as near' w.r.t the middle player versus
the [left|right} player.  In other words, the middle player must not
be as near to the [left|rignt] sideline as the [left|right] player.
Same way for front and back;  the back player must not be as near
the net as the (corresponding) front player.  This means that if
the two players are equal (as near), it's an overlap.  USVBA '93 book.

Geez, can we get off this topic now?  Good referees will ignore
minor overlaps anyway; the blatant ones get called, the minor ones
let go (until the other team catches on).  99% of the time, the other
team doesn't.

Not a chance.  As long as only one California/West team is in the
final four and as long as a Central or Mid-West team is favored to go
to the finals, the final four will be held hear in the Central or
Mid-West region.  Sorry.  BTW (and a little friendly ribbing follows),
we'd toast you guys even if we were to play at UCSD, just like twice
earlier this season 3-0,3-0.  Besides, you're lucky you didn't have to

Ok, then. What about airbourne players as the ball is contacted for the
serve? Possible interpretations:

1. The last point on the court which your feet were in contact with.
   (ie: your take off point)
      -  so if you took off in correct rotation order (and haven't landed
         before the ball is served) you're ok.

2. Your vertically projected position on the court as the ball is served.
      -  so you must ensure that you have not violated rotation order as the
         ball is served even though you are airbourne. ( I doubt this one )

3. All players must be in contact with the court at service. (Except the
   server, of course!)

Any takers with a rulebook under their arm?

Regards,
