     I was told that Paul Taylor of Northamptonshire is a left arm
over-the-wicket seamer.  According to ITV ORACLE's First Class Bowling
Averages (up to September 6th), Taylor is not in the top 15.  In fact the
only bowler in the England squad to tour India and Sri Lanka who is in this
table is John Emburey.

P.S. In case anyone is interested, the top spot in the ITV ORACLE's First
Class
     Bowling Averages table is shared between Wasim Akram and Courtney
Walsh
     (playing for Gloustershire).

	   Sir Richard was a great bowler, but not much of a sportsman. I
was surprised at him wishing it would rain when Pakistan was thrashing
the effeminate NZ attack all over the place. As a New Zealander, he
could have wished, but no sportsman worth his salt, would like to see
his/her team win at the cost of the game.

Penkaj Roy, perhaps. (Yes, the same man who shares the 1st wkt record stand

For a digression, NOBODY has come close to Richards' 1976 success. 
I remember in the first of six tests in England, Richards was on 196
at lunch. He waited another 15 minutes and hit a four to reach his 200.
And then literally went mad. He hit Underwood for two towring sixes and
pelted a few fours before getting out for 232. His last 36 runs came in
around 11-12 balls. He went on to make that mammoth 291 before being
bowled by Greig, in the last test at the Oval. Greig later admitted that
he had never been treated so badly by a batsman.  Hookes, of course must
have made a note of that comment :-)

Mohinder was good ( and I might even have liked him if not for his father's
asinine comments on the radio ), but in fairness he never even came close.

Yeah. I remember this. As someone said, that one run he scored cost India 
a lot of money.

Oh, come on, guys. Give poor Chandra a break! He does not deserve all these
"accolades" on his fielding, if you know what I mean! :-)

When we talk of bad batsmen and bad fielders, we mean those players who
are either inefficient, slow and/or without the required talent. Chandra
had a physical handicap, and those who saw him in action would thank the
heavens to have given him enough to represent India. He was, I think, six
or seven when he was struck by Polio, and lost his right hand movement.
As I recall his bowling action, there was no bend in his arm at any time.

He could managge to bowl, and did an awesome job at that. But it was 
while fielding and batting that this came as a real handicap. I remember
the only test I saw him perform - against Pakistan at Karachi, 1978-79.
Gavaskar got a hundred in each innings (111 & 137) but Chandra must have
received more applause than each of his successful defence than Sunny
for the whole of his innings!

He used left hand for writing, which occupied the thin grey area between
legible hand and otherwise.

Excuse my ignorance, but am I right in believing that Stewart is the only
WK in the side?

If so, whilst I have no doubts over his ability as a keeper, I do feel that
the responsibility of keeping wicket, vice-captaincy and probably 
occasional opening bat are too much for any man for a complete tour.

Please tell me I'm wrong (but be nice about it!! :-))

Run half-marathons before breakfast, plus one hour of weight training.  While
at the crease look morose and unhappy.  Do not play any flair shots which
appear instinctive (a positively West Indian trait not to be encouraged!), but
shots which would grace any fine coaching manual.

While giving interviews, wax lyrical about incredible physical fitness and
stamina, and describe cricket as a job, etc., etc., ad infitum, ad nauseum.

    While browsing thru. the results of the last test, I noticed that in both 
of the innings the top order collapsed. The side was saved by the batting of
the middle and tail order. It brings to mind the last series between Aus & 
India just prior to the world cup. India were consistently suffering from the 
same kind of top order collapse as well. In comparison I guess that Aus.
deserves credit for their performance.

The answer to David Grove's Q re. Stewart being the only keeper is (from the
county of the White Rose) an emphatic no.
Richard Blakey is the other keeper , he is expected to be mainly a reserve
but hopefully will get to show the world what Yorkshire already knows.
IMHO he is an accomplished middle order bat and hopefully will establish himself
as Englands main keeper. I'm sorry to see Russell dropped to the A tour I
suspect there may be some things we dont know about there.
As for Paul Jarvis this is his last big break, he paid off the mortgage on his 
house by going to SA now he must really prove himself as a fast bowler both
for Yorkshire and England (note the order).
Its slightly disappointing that there are no Yorkshire youngsters in the
England A tour some of them must have come close .

     Some notable omissions include Ian Botham, David Gower, Allan Lamb,
Neil Malender and Tim Munton.  The recall of Mike Gatting and John Emburey
was widely expected, but Paul Jarvis should be considered lucky to be
called up again.  No one except the selectors seems to know much about Paul
Taylor.

     The England 'A' squad to tour Australia is :-

              Moxon   (Captain)             Yorkshire
              Russell (Vice Captain)        Gloustershire

     Dominic Cork and Ian Salisbury were tipped to tour India and Sri Lanka
but its semms the selectors want to wait and see before choosing them for
future main tours.

	- The article has only minor curiosity value IMO.  It is full off the
	usual "baseball-type" references which really annoy me.  For instance
	Allan Lamb is called one of England's top "batters", an allusion which
	is erroneous on one and perhaps both counts. Also the claim is that
	Pakistan's bowler's came under suspicion cause they were able to
	"throw the ball past the English batsman." 

	- At one point the article claims cricket is frozen in time and
	no longer a symbol of English civility.  In short, if the article's
	target is American readers alone, it merely reenforces the 
	nonsensical stereotypes most Americans have about cricket.  If the
	intended audience is internationals in the US who are starved for
	cricket coverage, the article is only amusing because of its
	tendency to oversimplify and to use erroneous terminology.

	- I am not even sure why the NYT even printed this.  Looks like their
	coverage of "soft" international news is as poor as their 
	coverage of "hard" news.

	- BWW, Aaquib Javed and Salim Malik get to have their picture
