The ball rebounding from the keepers pads is definitely out, the keepers
pads are part of a keepers normal equipment.  To my mind the chest guard is
a bit of a gray area, but I would be inclined to give it out since it is
worn under the clothing, and will have little if any affect on the way the
ball bounces up.  I can't think of any law or official note which
explicitly covers chest pads, while helmets are specifically named.  I
think out is the common sense ruling.

Perhaps you should look at his record as an opener in test cricket. It seems

Doesn't look like our Timmy's batting is all that superior does it?
I haven't seen him keep for ages but when I did he didn't impress me
much then either.  Haynes, Ambrose and Richardson might disagree with
suggestions that Healy can't keep to spinners.  :-)

As I've said before.  Either would probably be fine as Australia's
keeper.  Healy wins for his always give 100% attitude in my book.
His pair in the 4th test wasn't too impressive, but he had a plenty
mates who weren't very impressive with the bat as well.

many, you are so dumb that dan quayle could take lessons from you.
the only reason india came back to tie the hockey match was because west
germany took off their best few players. bills won because they got a few
calls in their favor and houston choked.
when kirti azad won the game for india, the total being chased was 197 in about
50 overs. in the jam match, the total was 334 in 45 overs. can you even begin
to comprehend the difference? there is almost an order of magnitude difference.
in the first case, even tho' wickets fell early, the runs required was still a
very gettable 100 in about 20-odd overs. the required run rate never went over
 8 or so. in the second match the runs required was 250+ in about 30-0dd overs.
and its pretty obvious that any team would rather chase 140 in 20 overs than
350 in 50 overs even tho' the required run rate is the same. the sheer number
of runs scored by the WI, coupled with their marvellous pace attack, put the
game out if india's reach. but, you in your infinite wisdom would have
preferred that india slog from the beginning and lose by 200 runs.

>In a limited overs either you win or lose,

  Richards never hit 24 runs in an over. The record of 24 runs in an

Patil (of Bob Willis) and Kapil dev (of Eddie hemmings). Kapil's was

At first I was pretty much against the one bouncer/over rule like everybody
else.
But if you have seen the way Ambrose and Bishop have bowled so far in the
Australian first innings of the 4th test at Adelaide, you, like me, may be
starting to think otherwise.
It seemed that every time I turned around to see another ball being bowled, it
was either rearing up to the batsman's throat or towards his head. To say the
Aussies have had a tough time out there (3/100 so far, delays due to rain) would
be a gross understatement. Boon has retired hurt and been taken to hospital for
precautionary X-Rays (luckily he's just bruised, nothing broken), and Langer
has had the back of his helmet split open. The other batsman, most notably
Steve Waugh, have been jumping around with monotonous regularity.
You have to feel for the batsmen, but at the same time the bowlers were fully
entitled to bowl as they did. Any more bouncers and we probably would have had
more retired batsmen.
I'm now under the impression that one bouncer per over is enough if the bowler
is good enough to bowl it in the right place. The way the Windies have bowled
them it's certainly quite enough for intimidation purposes.

The second one dayer has started.  Azar has won the toss and asked England
to bat.  The pitch is very useful to the bowlers. The Indian bowlers are
bowling very well and are keeping the English batsmen under tight control.

England are 137 for 5 after 41 overs.  Here goes the score card.

Gooch	c Tendulkar   b  Srinath             7(27)
Stewart c Azhar       b  Kapil Dev           7(21)
Smith               lbw  Kumble             42(106)

Reeve                    Not out             1(3)

England                                    137 for 5 off 41 overs.

RUN RATE IS 3.34 IN 41 OVERS.

India has a fair chance of winning this game.  Hope the batsmen will come
up to the task and make the series even with a win in this game.

The teams are pretty weak, since they have come mainly through the
development programmes and are still learning. However the SA U24 side
should be a different story. There is a possibility of either or both of
Cronje and Rhodes getting into the side since the selectors will be
selecting those who were U24 before October last year and both these
players qualify. Whether this will happen is anybody's guess since the

It is not proper to evaluate someone solely on statitics as it does not always
give the true reflection about his batting or bowling.Recently there was a
discussion on Gavaskar's sixers & someone came up saying about a ODI at 
Jamshedpur against WI in which Gavaskar has few sixers to his credit.
But statistics doesn't reveal how he played in that match.Asked to chase some 
330, he surrendred from the very first ball and never quite attempted to go 
for it.It was only when the required runrate had crossed some 20-25 runs per
over and it was just a formality left when he took few loose balls out of fence
Moreover he didn't consider it even worthwhile to leave the crease so 
that other batsman could try.Not unusual he has done this many times and his 
36 not out in a 60 over match in 1975 world cup is an standing example which 
just speaks out his incapability to accelerate the scoring rate or do some 
improvisation which IS expected from ANY specialist batsman at any moment of a
match. Same thing with Ravi Shastri, these two players are/were more concerned
with remaining 'not outs' and improving their statistic no matter if it costs 
a match for the country.If you just hang around the crease simply waiting for 
a loose ball to score on ,that doesn't make any sense.

I certainly feel that Vengsarkar & Vishwanath was a better batsman than 
Gavaskar though statistics says otherwise.Had Gavaskar got the treatment like 
what Jimmy Amarnath used to get(out & in) he wouldn't have stood anywhere near
him too.Selectors used to carry on with him even when he used to be out of form
just because we've always had problems finding openers rather than middle order
order batsman.If Vishy,Vengy or Jimmy were given to play continuously so many 
matches as Gavaskar I'm sure they would have landed ahead of Gavaskar or 
atleast not that behind as stats would show right now.

	I'm just wondering if u tried to balance the 2 dream teams. I guess u
mean Team 2 is the next best selection, in which case:

	Greenidge and Boon switch teams (though extremely harsh on Boon who is
	IMO the best Opener now)

	Marshall and Lillee switch teams (again i think Marshall in the 80's 
was better than the Lillee of the 80's)

	Qadir and Emburey switch teams.

	Haynes for Marsh in team 2.


Let's see what it looks like now:

	Team 1				Team 2

1	S.Gavaskar			D.Haynes
2	G.Greenidge			D.Boon
3	G.Chappel			M.Crowe
4	V.Richards			D.Gower
5.	J.Miandad			A.Border
6	R.Marsh (wk)			K.Dev
7.	I.Khan				J.Dujon
8.	R.Hadlee			D.Lillee
9.	M.Marshall			C.McDermott
10.	M.Holding			J.Garner
11.	A.Qadir				J.Emburey

	A.DeSilva unfortunately loses out of team 2 as they were a 
bowler short.

	I believe any further changes will not make a heck of a lot
of difference...

let's look at the facts:
WI scored 333 in 45 overs (7.4 r/o)
WI bowling attack was marshall, holding, roberts etc.
india never had a prayer.
gavaskar scored 83 off 96 balls (3 6's and 6 4's) and he was dismissed.
not too bad a performance. the loss of two early wickets basically sealed
the deal for WI. india wound up with 229 in 45 (5.09 r/o).
get your facts straight before criticizing.

looks like a big task ahead.

Three results possible Aus win, WI win or Tie.  Hope it will be a tie :-}.

If Aus win then Frank Warrel Trophy will come back to Aus after almost
15 years.  If WI wins, they have chance to keep trophy for few more
years by drawing or winning next test at Perth. 

bye

PS : Heard scoop that Wasim Akram has been named as Captain of Pakistan
and most likely (I feel obviously) Javed Miandad will also play as a
senior player.  Source: commentator Rex Perreira of ABC
