Well, I was watching the game, and nobody (commentators or the crowd)
noticed the 'outburst' - or at least it didn't become an obvious issue
at the time - the first I knew was when I heard about the suspension
on the news.

Anyway: Aaqib Javed bowled a short-pitched delivery to Andrew Jones,
who in trying to evade the ball, put the bat high above his head. The
ball came through, hit him on the arm (I thought it hit his elbow, but
the Pakistani players obviously thought it was the glove). The ball
went up in the air, and was caught at second slip.

The bowler (and all the Pakistani players) appealed. The square leg
umpire called no-ball (No ball because the ball passed above the
shoulder height (when standing) of the batsman). The bowler looked
incredulous. This is when the incident apparently took place - comments
were directed at the umpire, rather than the usual disappointment
swearing under the breath.
At this stage Crowe apparently spoke to Javed Miandad, and Javed 
Miandad spoke to his bowler.

I was confused by the whole thing - Did Aaqib Javed not realise it had
been noballed? Was he pissed off at the apparent catch not being given,
or was it the no-ball call? If it was the no-ball call, why was his
anger directed at the umpire behind the wickets - not the square leg
umpire?

After the match, the umpire made a report to the match referee,
Australian Peter Burge. After a hearing, with evidence from both sides,
Aaqib Javed was suspended for one game - the 3rd ODI (Played earlier
today, Pak 139 all out, NZ 140/4, NZ win the series 2-1), and is
eligible to rejoin the tem for the test in Hamilton, Jan 2-6.

I didn't think Jones was out, but then I'm posting from a .nz address,
so I am obviously biased.

Date: Tue, 22 Dec 1992 22:25:50 GMT

Test team for Australia was announced yesterday for Second Test against
West Indies starting on Boxing day, 26/Dec/92 at MCG.

They are Mark Taylor, David Boon, Steve Waugh, Mark Waugh, Allan Border(c),
Damien Martyn, Greg Mathews, Shane Warne, Ian Healy, Craig McDermott,
Merv Hughes, Mike Whitney.

That means two changes from 1st test at Brisbane.  Dean Jones was
unceremoniously dumped from 12 for no apparent reason and replaced by
Shane Warne.  If it had been Sydney test I would have understood but
this is beyond me.  Unfortunately for Deano, the match between WI and
Victoria at Bendigo was a total wash out due to Victoria's extended
rainy periods.  Other change Whitney was obvious as Reid again broke
down due to Shoulder injury.

Good news about MCG is last 5 out of 6 test ended in results.

     As somebody said, I doubt that it matters too much in Britain itself 
nowadays. Anyway, Gavaskar rejected what was probably an even greater
honor a few years ago to become a member (I wonder in what capacity) of
the hallowed institution the MCC. Ostensibly because he was treated 
very rudely by the doorkeeper or something. Does anyone have the
details?

In keeping with the spirit of Spaceman's suggestion, I have deleted everything
I can from Suraj's article. :--)

Now, coming to the article itself, I can't find a single sentence in Suraj's
post with which I disagree. Well said, Suraj. It is about time you made sense
like this. :--) :--) We do tend to rest on past glory a bit too much to be
objective. The fact that players take their places for granted is what's
hurting the team.

Manjrekar, Shastri, Raman and Amre are the batsmen who should make bigger
scores more often. Azhar and SRT have been keeping up with their past records,
as we have come to know them. The competition in the bowling department has
already begun fetching results, if we notice that RSA has not been piling it on 
as often.

	see, that proves my previous claim about Shastri. I claimed that
even More is a better batsman than Shastri and even Tendulkar can bowl

Richard Headlee was given the knighthood for taking 400 wickets in test
cricket.

Could some one tell me whether Sunil Gavaskar was given knighthood for 
becoming first man to score 10,000 runs in test cricket.

I know currently he does not have knighthood because he is not called
Sir Sunil Gavasker, but it could have been that he might not have
accepted the knighthood for some reason like the membership of MCC.

Another question. Will Kapil be knighted if and when he overtakes Sir
Richard Headlee's total of 431 test wickets?

If Kapil overtakes the magic number 431 then he'll have both records
of taking highest wickets in test matches and ODI's. Isn't this a great
achievement to be rewarded for.

Any comments. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Pakistan are in dire trouble now, Murphy Sua having just removed Javed Miandad
to leave them 39/5, still 15 runs behind the NZ total. He was out LBW,
bringing the number of LBWs in the match up to 9 by my count, unusual for
NZ umpires who are traditionally reluctant to give them. Most of them,
however, have been plump, esp. the two trademark inswinging yorkers Wasim Akram
bowled yesterday.

Comment of the day: Jeremy Coney as NZ's 11th batsman faces up: "Here's Owens,
still looking for his first test century." :-) (He was out shortly after.)

Yes, I'm sure you were present at the matches and saw the innumerable tv
replays from a zillion angles which proved the cheating WI umpires robbed 
Pakistan.  But I suppose Lord God Almighty Imran (along with Bobby Simpson the
two biggest whingers to ever tour WI) said so, so it must be fact.

It's dogmatic little t***S like yourselves who inspire my .sigs.  I would hate
to have to encounter those of your ilk if Pakistan ever achieve anything like
the total domination of the Windies in the late 70's & 80's.  Then you would

I would love to hear your excuses if Pakista get's beaten by the WI.

   Well, I do not think so. A statement like "a candian team beat the Yanks" 
   doesn't hold at all. It was a canadian ballclub but definetely not a canadian
   team. It will be the same if Penguin fans started saying they whipped the 
   Canadians at their own game. I am sorry to bring this up on r.s.c but this
   statement has always bothered me. Baseball in Canada just exists so that 
   the MLB gets an international flavor and more market for TV etc. It will 
   take few decades before a canadian team can beat an american team.
