According to Saturday's Independant article, SRT will be unable to play for
Yorkshire next season since India are due to tour Sri Lanka in July and
August.  It doesn't say whether or not he will return to Yorkshire in 1994.

The Independant quotes four names that Yorkshire are trying to chase
as their overseas player:-
  Waqar Younis (if he is released by his current county - Sussex?)
  Aqib Javed
  Salim Malik
  Richie Richardson

bzzzt! wrong answer. hick's 50 was the fastest in *TEXACO TROPHY* ODI's, and
not in all ODI's. i distinctly remember duleep mendis getting a fifty of 22(?)

17 balls in an unofficial ODI.

HI,

I have uploaded to wuarchive.wustl.edu 128.252.135.4 in the directory
/pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS 2 shareware cricketing games for the PC.

The files are called stwicket.zip and worldcup.zip.  There is a short .txt
file for each as well that just describes the game very quickly.

Both games require EGA as a minimum and are simulations of 1-day cricket
matches.  In stwicket you are the captain of one of eight english county
sides and have to win the Sticky Cup.  In worldcup you captain an
international side and attempt to surprise surprise win the World Cup.

I have registered both games so can provide more info if anyone wants to
know the extra benefits of registering including a bonus game with Sticky
Wicket.  If you do decide to register please mention that you obtained the
shareware versions from the net so the author can see how successful
each distribution source is.

If a similar message appears to this at your site I apologise but for
some reason the first message was not received here.

If you have any comments regarding these games E-Mail me and I will pass
them on to the author as he is not on the net.

Just wanted to make some corrections in my prev. posting.

Make all the 2-3-4 sec i used there as 1-3 sec. and the 10 or 10-15 sec
as 5-6 sec.

I mean,  on retrospection, 1-3 sec may be called a quick decision and
5-6 sec a late decision. 10-15 sec is just too much.

The fraction of a second estimates were OK though. And i still feel that
an LBW decision is one of the easiest to give. Compared to bat-pad catches
and run-outs.

Yep, you're dead right. I think lots of cricket followers would probably feel
this way. He's definitely got potential, but he's nowhere near test standard
yet.

With regard to your earlier posting about why the Aussies aren't going too well
into the second day of the Test, well I would answer

(a) you are quite correct that Aussie teams generally haven't done too well on
    the subcontinent (although from the reports for this game, the pitch seems
    like a good all-round surface).
(b) the preparation in Sri Lanka simply wasn't enough (much like India in Oz
    in 1991-92). Having said that, the team did spend a few days in Darwin.
(c) Whilst the bowlers may have an excuse for being rusty, Moody, Jones and 
    Waugh do not. And none of them got runs.

From this part of the world, it seems like the side is simply being outplayed
by another that is better prepared, and more used to the conditions. (Now watch
Jonesy get a ton, and Billy get 15 wickets and make me look like a goose!)

Its going to depend on how quickly the bat is grounded, but the bat in the

usually be too difficult for the umpire to see that the bat wasn't grounded.

There will be cases through where the bat was just coming down, almost on
the ground, when the bails are removed - in those cases the umpire might
not be able to tell.

   Pakistan won the tossanddecided to bat first in this, the fourth Texaco
gameat Lord's. They are 5 for no loss after 4 overs.

   Thestart of thegamewas delayed by 75 minutes(to noon) dueto badweather.
Miandadisback on the Pak team and Navid Anjum is the fourth seamer.

   Gooch is not playing and is replaced by Richard Blakey who is keeping
wickets. Stewert isthe captain.

     Pakistan are 51 for 1 after 19 overs. Sohail is out for 20, Ramiz is 13
and Malik is 11 with 7 extras.



   The game is coming in the clear (unscrambled) on SATELLITE G2 on channel 7
(just like most of the West Indies games, no unscrambler required etc). If anybody

has access to a satellite receiver, the game will be till about 1'0 clock CDT.
If we do not make much noise of it and go about quietly, Monday's hame
also may be unscrambled and many Pakistani and Indian Students' Associations
can arrange for the showing of the live game.

This case is different the match is toronto is being played for the

captaining the side even if he never lead pakistan side in his entire life.
BTW way i agree with you on 1982 rebellion by players against miandad,

An interesting statistic was dug up by somebody at the Oval: the number
of LBWs that Pakistan were awarded in the series against the number
that England got.  It was something like 14 to 3.  (I am not sure of
the numbers but I do remember that the ratio was large.) This clearly
showed that Pakistani bowlers attack the stumps whereas England attacks
on or outside the off stump, what Boycott refers to as "the corridor of
uncertainty." This might explain why Pakistan seems to be the more
"appealing" side.

The players get PAID for going through training camps and playing matches -
umpires get EXPENSES. Personally I think most of them show remarkable control
