Please! Tp rate Hadlee as a better all-rounder than Kapil, or any of the other
great all-rounders for that matter, is ludicrous. Hadlee was a truly great
bowler - the best of those you mentioned above. But his batting was not in the
same class at all. His all-round capabilities were not as good as Kapil or 
Imran or Botham. I am not really in a position to comment on Benaud, but I 
would wager that the same applies to him. 
	Sobers, of course, stands above the rest. Kieth Miller too I would
think, although I don't know his stats offhand, and I haven't seen very much of
him playing. You could justifiably rank Kapil behind Botham, although I can
see arguments both ways on that one. Imran was a better bowler in his prime
perhaps, but Kapil had the superior batting for the most part so that again is
a very subjective question. But Hadlee, although being a better bowler than all
of these, was not in the same class as an all-rounder. 

Cheers,

Rohan

Are you a pommy ????? :-)

Boony averaged 75 on the last Ashes tour, he averaged 75 last year against
India, and he's _only_ averaging 70 this year against the West Indies. (After 3
tests). Tom Moody is a good first class player, but there are many many players
more suited to test cricket than him.

Don Tallon

12 man: pick your own based on fielding ability : Harvey? Sheahan?

Pity I couldn't pick Trumper or Clem Hill, but the top 5 are all noted for
their ability to occupy the crease for long periods (as well as actually making
runs during this time of course). If you were basing it on aesthetics, Trumper
would (by all accounts) have been amongst the first picked (along with Allan
Kippax). McCartney is another unlucky ommission.

Harvey and Ian Chappell would also have been handy. If Chappelli was in the
side, he'd be captain. As it is Benaud gets the nod because of his
inventiveness.

Bowlers who could have been picked would be Thommo, Grimmett, CBT Turner.

Tallon, from what I have read, wins ahead of Grout and Marsh.

By the way, has anyone read the book on 100 years of Sheffield Shield cricket?
Great book - unfortunately the only games where Queensland rates a mention are
the ones where they find new and exciting ways to lose :-(.

Under the law balls of that type are only allowed once per over [er batsman. 
So either a bouncer leaves a repetive signal on your optic nerves, or the

But they are only allowed one ball/over/batsman over shoulder height

Hi,
	Second ODI between India and England is under progress at CHandigarh.
England is batting. They are 137/5 at the completion of 41 overs. Hick with
50(64) (Atlast!!) and Reeve 1(3) are at the crease.
	It was a good day for seamers. The Indian seamers didn't allow the
English batsman to settle down. The pitch was helping them a lot. After 19
overs England were struggling at 49/4. But after that when the spinners(Khumble
& Raju) came in to bowl, the score kept on increasing with singles and tows. In
a way Indians let the Englishmen off the hook.
	Srinath was the pick of the Indian bowling, though Kapil and Prabhakar
bowled well. Srinath had Gating, c&b on ZERO. He also took the wicket of Gooch.
Indian fielding was pathatic. Giving away as many as 20 odd runs.
	England made one change in the team. The replaced Embury with
Salisbury. Indians are playing the same team.
	The scorecard is...

Gooch	c SRT b Srinath		7 (27)
Stewart c Azza b Kapil		7 (21)
Smith	lbw Khumble	       42 (106)
Gatting c & b Srinath		0 (12) !!
F'brother lbw Raju		7 (17)
Hick			       50 (64)
Reeve				1 ( 3)

	England 137/5 after 41 overs.

Yes, indeed he did. This was during the test series against 
Viv Richards's team's tour in the eighties. Gavaskar hit atleast
one six if not more during his test century (incidentally his
29th--with which he equalled Don Bradman's record) at Delhi.
The century was made off about 125-130 balls and if I remember
it right one six was off Malcolm Marshall.

Gavaskar scored 188 runs in the first innings and was bowled by Marshall
for 0 in the second innings.  There was some controversy here- Marshall
thought that he had Gavaskar lbw for 0 in the first innings- but Gavaskar
was not given out. So Marshall had his revenge in the second innings!

   Gooch  and  Greenidge.
   The common thing is    -   They are all openers 
                          -   Their last names start with G.
