    The game starts at 7:30 EST. The game should be on G6, channel may be 20 or
19. But of late they used 10 and 12 also. Past experience with the tests tells
me that only pre lunch portion of the game is on that satellite.

     There is no point in repeating that RA will broadcast on 21740 and 15240

pm EST anyway.

     I understand that if you can get hold of the IRC program, there will be
quite an activity on the #cricket channel tonight.

I truly hope that Alderman is selected for the tour to England. He's still
bowling for Western Australia and taking a few wickets. His record in England is
unbelievable. Hope the selectors take a punt and select him. I can see it now:

Graham Gooch has made his 100th first-class hundred. Or has he? The ICC
will soon be deciding whether or not his 109 in S. Africa will count.
Gooch made 102 before retiring as England enjoyed one of their most
succesful days of the tour. Smith also made a hundred, suggesting he has
at last found his form. Atherton made 0 which is a problem since this
is his first match for a few weeks due to the lack of first-class practice
matches. More worries for England are that Defreitas has yet another
injury (thigh) and without him the England attack looks seriously weakened and
Malcolm is ill. Both had been picked to play in the match today.


Scorecard:

Gooch            retired hurt      102
Atherton        lbw     b. Zaidi     0
Stewart         lbw     b. Gandhe   39

Murray (h'eS called Junior over here)
took  very straightforward catch off Walsh to end a 41 run 
last wicket partnership between May (No 10 bat) and McDermott (No 11).
BTW for a bit of controversy , by all reports McDermott was caught from

I'll agree with this. Yadav is definitely a capable bat, as opposed to being

I sure hope they bring Shastri back for ODI's and tests. Whatever anyone may

Spaceman, you are making, IMO, a common error when judging Ian Botham.
There is little doubt that Imran's CAREER when taken as a whole, esp
if you throw in captaincy, is better than Botham's.  However, if you
compare Botham at his PEAK -- which lasted 4-5 years, not one summer --
he dominated the game like no one has in the last 20 years.

At this peak Botham was one of of the greatest players of all time.
Bradman certainly dominated the game in the same way (for far longer --
his entire career) and perhaps Sobers at his peak was as formidable
(hard to seperate out a players peak when you only look at his career
records, but they are impressive enough so that an average Sobers season
is stil d**n good), but who else...

In the early 80s Botham was the man -- both as a bowler and as a bat.
If you consider a 1980's team, Botham contributions in the first 4-5
years make his the first or second choice for my World XI for the 1980's.

And there is another curious fact about Imran -- was he ever really an
all-rounder?  before this appals people let me explain.  In the early 80s
he was a superb bowler, and a so-so bat.  In the late 80s he was a very
good bat (top 10 in the world rankings?) but his bowling was at best
above average....  Due to injury, here was a very short time when
Imran was great with the bat and the ball at the same time...

This is the way I see it -- you are remembering Imran the bowler
in 1982, and combining him with Imran the bat in 1989 
-- IMHO, you can;t have both at once.  

I think a similar trend is detrimental to Botham --
you are remembering Botham's lean years from 1985 on and using
that to his detriment === Botham, circa 1982, would come above almost
any other player (maybe Richards in 1978) in the last 20 years...

For the record, Kapil Dev took 74 wickets in 15 Tests as follows :
      1979    v Eng  in Eng   4 tests        16 wickets
      1979-80 v Aus  in Ind   6 tests        28 wickets

My records only go to 1986 but I doubt that he had phenomenal success
after that.

I happen to believe in this "baptism by fire" business. You'll get to know the 
true worth of a player right away. Almost four years ago, a 16 year old made 
his Test debut against a bowling attack consisting of Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis,
Imran Khan and Abdul Qadir (or maybe Mushtaq Ahmed). He's doing quite OK now -
that'd be Tendulkar.
Of course, you could quote me the example of Hick; and I probably say he simply
does'nt measure up. So if Langer plays well you have an excellent prospect who'd
most probably do well in future too.

Subject: Justin Langer replaces Martyn for 4th Test
Organization: Dept Public Health, Sydney University
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1993 07:28:14 GMT

Justin Langer, 22 year old left hander from WA will replace the injured
Damien Martyn in the Fourth Test against the WI beginning tomorrow
(Saturday). Martyn was struck by Bob Simpson's thumb in a fielding mishap
and is in hospital where he will remain for 4 days. Apparently, there was
some bleeding in the eye and further observation is a routine precaution.
He is expected to fully recover. There is no news on the condition of Bob
Simpson's thumb.

The selection of Langer is a major setback for Dean Jones, who probably 
would have considered himself the obvious replacement, perhaps rightly so. 
However, it is also possible that Jones' fractured thumb, an injury *not*
sustained from an insertion into Martyn's eye, may have ruled him out.
Of course, it is also a setback for Martyn and Australia. Injury has ruled
out three Australian players: Bruce Reid, Michael Whitney and Damien
Martyn. David Boon has also been under doubt with a hamstring injury, but
will definitely play.

As far as I know, there are no reported injuries in the WI team. The likely
team line-ups in batting order, IMHO, are now:

Aus: Taylor, Boon, Langer, M.Waugh, S.Waugh, Border, Healy, Dodemaide,
Warne, Hughes, McDermott, May (12th).

WI: Haynes, Richardson, Lara, Arthurton, Logie, Adams, Murray, Bishop,
Ambrose, Walsh, Patterson, Hooper (12th).

I would rate the West Indies as marginal favourites.

Since, Shastri has come back to the limelight again in this newsgroup,
it seems almost appropriate to evaluate him on his performance
statistically, and not by how/who he is judged by. Let the stats speak
for themselves. Unfortunately, I don't have the exact figures, and I
so I would ask any kind sould with that information to post it on the
newsgroup. Thanks.

the bottom line is- he has been scoring runs in tests. he failed in the last
series, but in the three previous series he had excellent numbers.
if reliable means ability to score runs, yes he is pretty reliable tho' not
pretty to watch.

Stay cool,
