What about Taylor ( was Bruce his first name ?), the allrounder of 60s'.
I think he has a test double and pretty decent career figures. 
And what about Richard Collinge. I guess he was much better than Danny
Morrison.

Well, I don't quite know the authenticity of the "by all reports" you
refer to.  

Aside:  Can we not establish a mechanism on RSC for proper `sourcing' and
attributing sweeping statements such as "by all reports" which has been
claimed above?

Anyway, Channel-9, in their night news, commented on the possibility
of a controversial ending to the test match, due to a dubious decision
by umpire Hair, who gave McDermott out.  Needless to say, they quite
conveniently forgot to mention the many times Langer and McDermott
appeared to be plumb LBW earlier on in the game.  Indeed, after one of
these appeals was turned down, Greg Chapell commented that, if such
decisions could not be given, LBW's should be struck off, as a method
of dismissal in cricket!  But, we digress...

Border, in an interview after the match, was asked if the last dismissal
was a valid one.  The Age newspaper, on the following day, reported
Border as having replied that the ball took the back of McDermott's
glove (after striking his helmet) on the way to Junior Murray.  "It was
a very brave decision by umpire Hair", Border added.  One would assume
that Border said this after consultation with McDermott. 

So, perhaps McDermott was out after all!  And the statement, "by all
reports", was rather unnecessary.  If anything, it takes credit away
from the Windies for a great victory...

Yes, I must admit forgetting him (till I saw someone else mention

don't know - I think I'd keep Thomson, he could be lethal quite
frequently, but then, probably, so could Miller.

Without coming to a conclusion as to whether the new "bouncer" law 
a good or bad thing, I've thought for a long time now that its
effect has not been to protect the technique deficient batsman at
all.  In fact what it has done is make the fast bowlers bowl 
better and thus has worked against the batsmen.

In previous times, too many  fast bowlers used to bowl
head high and higher bumpers.  This despite the fact that it was
generally recognised that the most dangerous bumper would be about
chest or throat high.  Perhaps it was just their egos but the 
quicks always seemed to want to prove just how high they could get
the ball to bounce  despite the fact that the batsmen could easily
duck beneath it.

Since the new rule was introduced, the chest high bumper is a 
lot more common and the batsmen are having a lot more trouble 
dealing with it IMHO.  Its harder to duck, which means the 
batsman has to hook or play defensively with the bat more often 
than when the ball used to sail over the batsman's head.

This is not to say that fast bowlers couldn't bowl like this 
before, but for some reason they always seemed to be more 
interested in getting the ball up high than making the batsmen
play.

Anyway, that's how I see it.

You want O'Reilly instead of Benaud, and possibly Ponsford instead of
Morris, otherwise it looks pretty good.  If Benaud were still there he'd
probably be captain, without him I'd pick Border.   (Chappell has 2 l's).

	I guess he incurred the wrath of the Calcutta crowd too on a couple
of occasions :

	(i) for that infamous shot off Holding in the 2nd innings against Clive
Lloyd's Windies in '83 - 84 and
	
	(ii) for killing whatever interest that was left in the Test against 
David Gower's team in '84 - 85 by allowing Shastri(who else !) to push and prod
for almost 2 sessions on the final day. 

	In fact he was so peeved with the crowd's reaction on this second 
occasion that he vowed not to play again at the Eden Garden's ! And, to live
up to it, he promptly sat out for the Calcutta Test against Imran's Pakis in
'87. We did'nt miss much though as Azhar notched up a classic 140+ in that
Test !
	
	I'm still wondering to this day : What would Sunny have done if India
had not managed to collapse in the semis of the Reliance Cup and lose to 
England ? The final was to be played in Calcutta.

The live commentaries which came from Australia for the Adelaide test were very
interesting with the two way communications and the triangular series in SA

Organization: Australian Defence Industries


Heard on the radio this morning, as one of the DJ's was discussing
the result of the 4th AUS/WI test with a member of the WACA staff
(I think it was the club manager, but I'm not sure).

The WACA test will be the decider in this series, currently locked
at 1-1.  The ground staff will be preparing the standard WACA pitch,
and will not be following the lead of the ground staff at the 'gabba
to produce a pitch (in the recent Tas/Qld game) that will ensure
a result.

The pitch can be expected to be up to the usual WACA standard -- hard,
bouncy, won't take much spin early, and a fairly even bounce.  The
ball will swing late in the day on every day of the test (due to the
rather humid and fresh sea breezes we have been getting recently),
however there will be nothing in the pitch that isn't normally in
the WACA pitch.

Expect a higher scoring game than the one in Adelaide, lasting the
full 5 days.  There may or may not be a result.  The pitch will
bounce, but bounce evenly, and although the bowlers will be able
to extract some life from the pitch, an in-form batsman should
be able to get on top of the bowling.

I don't think it is Imran who is instrumental in making Akram as captain of P

 that Wasim Akram is Pakistan's future captain, but he never said that he shoul

From memory here is Richards' test record.  Incidentally he holds the record
for a long-term captain without a series loss (12 of them).  The 90/91 tour of
Pakistan is not included as I seem to remember Richards staying at home for an
operation.  Whether you like him or not, the record is superior to any of his
contemporaries!


           	Win	Draw	Lose
          
WI v NZ  (85)	 2	 2	 0
WI v ENG (86)	 5	 0	 0

NZ v WI  (87)	 1	 1	 1

WI v IND (89)	 3	 1	 0
WI v ENG (90)	 2	 1	 1

In terms of series he won 7 drew 5.  Whether he was inspiring or not is a

	I really like this. I believe Azza should continue at #4. That is 
his best place. SRT will be good ANYWHERE so mebbe he can go #5 for some 
time...

Australia went to luncj at 2/63

They are now 7/83!!

Chief destroyer Curtley Ambrose 4/15.

I have seen Lillee and Thomson at their zenith as well as Imran and Snow and
other vaunted attacks but NOTHING comes close to the display from Ambrose.  I
left at lunch as I have to register at uni for the coming year - boy did I miss
something!!
