   My first question is "How do I get a project where I have to design a
cricket scoreboard?" I mean, I developed a system to simulate matches and
store all the stats in high school. Anyway, that explains why I have a list
of all the men who have played in a cricket test in the last nineteen
months. I've marked the regular wicketkeepers with a "w" and the bowlers
(and genuine all-rounders) with  a "b" (in brackets means somebody often
used as the 5th or 6th bowler in limited-over matches), so that you know
approximately which order they come in in, plus the number of tests they
have played since mid-January 1991.

   I hope these are helpful. I don't have a complete list of UK county
