We had a new World Cup Champion and the Conservatives won the British election.
The Labour party should see to it that Pakistan wins in 1996!

  Why the addition of Imran's name only. Miandad has always contributed
  more than 100% to his side. Its time that you should accept this fact
  also. Without Miandad's genius we would not have been able to win the
  world cup.

 It seems to me that you enjoy provoking Indians on the net. In the past
 an angry tirade had started because of some comments made by you. Please
 refrain from provoking on the net. It is not in a good spirit. It does
 help in augmenting the anger among the people.

	Kerry Packer financed(?) the 'World Series Cricket' tournaments

	in a number of rebel tournaments.  His influence was towards
	the 'pyjama' game of today's one-day cricket, with clothing,

	That is a good question.  England's Mike Brearly was
	a good counter-example, a far better captain than cricketer,
	whose place (in the side) was kept for this reason.

Beta version 1.0 of my cricket scoring program, Cricket Score Board,
is now available for beta testing to anyone who wants to.

The program runs on a IBM pc compatible computer and has minimal
hardware/memory requirements thus enabling it to run on almost any lap-top
out there.  It fulfills the reporting requirements for the Mass. State 
Cricket League and generates a text file scoresheet which can be saved.

During the game, as much information as is available on a scorebook is
available to the user including full scoreboards for both teams, bowling
figures, batting and bowling analysis etc.  It is entirely menu driven
and mouse compatible.   And it has pretty colors, besides. :-)

If you'd like a copy, let me know at ckhan@bbn.com or call me at 
617-287-0452 in the evening, 617-873-6119 during the day.

Chico.

	Precisely the sort of ridiculous figure I had expected! Trust CNN to 
come up with such things. Man, 4.5M is peanuts compared to the number of people
playing cricket in India alone. Handball ? Tchha! I suppose it's simply too
difficult to estimate the number of people actually playing a sport, so the
statisticians have to use numbers provided by organizations like clubs and
"gymkhanas" for their estimates. Obviously, a majority of Asian "cricketers"
never figure in the count.

This may be a reply to an old post, but I've been away for a while.
I'm glad Adams was named to the squad, naturally (nice to know SOMEBODY
listens to me!) but I don't recall him playing in the first two one
days.  Think they'll try him in the Test match?  Not much chance, I'm
afraid....  And it looks like they'll persist with Williams behind the
stumps.

I'm also disappointed by the abscence of Lambert, but with Simmons in the
kinda form he's in and the brilliance of Lara in the opening spot (though
IMO he'll do well wherever they may choose to put him), compounded by Lambert's
poor showing in the Red Stripe Cup, it looks like his chances of making the
team gets dimmer and dimmer.  I don't know what Lambert has ever done to/said
about the selectors, but they must hate his guts for them to move a natural
#4 batsman up to the opening position just to exclude him (Lambert).

With Hooper's position appearing more and more tenuous, it would appear
that we may soon see a West Indies team without a Guyanese player in
it.  Looks like we'll have to wait for Paul Persaud to replace somebody
or maybe ...

I picked up this rather interesting book of cricket lists on my recent trip
home. Here is a section on Kerry Packer ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reprinted from "The Penguin Book of Cricket Lists" without permission.

"Five Reactions to the First Packer Supertest, VFL Park, 1977-78.

 The traditionalists were not too impressed by what they saw 

 1. 'All that happened was that rarely a single dinkum Australian paid it
    more than abstract attention' (Ian Woolridge).
 
 2. 'It will only be some time before the intangible aspects of these series
    develop' (Greg Chappell).
 
 3. 'I came with open mind to see these Packer cricket matches and have
    failed to be interested in the cricket' (Tony Lewis).

 4. 'Is it really worth it ?' (John Woodcock).

 5. 'Mr. Packer's main fault (is) he wants to monopolize sport and one of the
    earliest things I learnt in the sporting sphere is that any game is
    greater than the individual' (Jack Fingleton).

>>Vinay

	I don't agree here. Going by the same criterion that you use for gauging
popularity, I would think that far more people play cricket than badminton,
table tennis or hockey. It's just that most of them are not organized, and so do
not get counted in the statistics. Just think of the teeming millions who play
on the streets and by-lanes of every city/town in India/Pak... almost all of
them would not figure in any stats, but are nevertheless playing the sport. 
Thanks to the sheer population of the sub-continent, I'm sure that cricket would
rank pretty high in "real terms".

Juz to add a couple of more points

a) The original poster was wondering if Hadlee took his 300th wkt
during the series.

Nope. Actually it was his 374th wkt (or 373 ?) which made him the highest
wkt taker in history ( surpassing Botham). The Indian opener Arun Lal was
his victim.

b) The first four one days were played .( Azhar's one day was in the 
4th match ). The 5th one dayer (at Srinagar ??)  was washed out .
