I would'nt be that harsh. A batting average of 35 over a career when the man 
has had to bat at all postions from 1 to 11 is quite good. It's probably right
there with someone like Kapil; better than someone like Srikkanth, but 
definitely does not compare with, say, Vengsarkar.
 His bowling average is not that bad too - considering he plays for a certain
team called India which has been famous for it's pop-gun attack. Who's the main
wicket-taker of this present Indian team - Manoj Prabhakar?? I assure you 
Prabhakar's avarage is about the same; perhaps he has a better strike rate.
  Don't be so damn bigoted against the man to pick holes in some reasonably 
decent stats. You might hate his guts, but then so do I...

Because I think he has all it takes to make an attacking left hand
opener!  He has the ability and the technique to face up to fast bowling.
He has a good eye and strong reflexes.  He also hits straight and along
the ground.  Moreover, his driving (in the V-region) and his off-side
play is excellent.

In many respects, Kambli and Lara are very similar -- in style, grace,
application and temperament.  Lara will, IMO, make a good test opener.
He already opens the Windies batting in ODI's with Simmons coming in at
1 down.  He has done so quite successfully in the WSC.  I do believe Lara
should be given that mantle in tests too (with Jimmy Adams coming in in
the middle to bolster the `fragile' middle order), when Haynes quits the
international scene.

Anyway, back to your question:  I think Kambli HAS opened for India in
a few ODI's, with some degree of success (can anyone confirm this?).

At drinks in the first session - WI are   none for 62, Haynes 12, Simmons 40
and 16 overs are bowled.

Straight drive off McD for a four all 
run and a three straight drive.

In the fifth over of McD, Simmons hit two fours thrugh gully, one an uppish
shot and and beautifully hit four along the ground. McD was relieved and Steve
Waugh came and had a maiden over. Later, Simmons hit a straight drive off Waugh
for a four.

WI got their 50 in 50 minutes off 77 balls. They seem to be scoring the first
hour ad an ODI. Haynes is very tentative and is lucky to be stll at the crease.

After 30 minutes, WI are:  26 -   after 7 overs
Haynes 10 and Simmons 8, one a very good shot through square leg, another a
lucky uppish shot thriugh point.
Haynes hit a very good square cut for 4

My view is that Pakistan should not have been fined at the first place.
The over rate should not have mattered at that stage of the game.
Similarly WI team was more busy in setting fiels etc etc after each
bowl, thus over rate obviously dropped. They should not be fined either.
The rule is wrong, which should be relaxed for such situation.

Sky continue commitment to covering overseas tours

By Paul Newman

Thanks: The Daily Telegraph

     There is no word more certain to upset  the cricket  staff at 
Sky Television than 'deprived'. While not quite in the four-letter
category, it evokes passions  usually associated with  rather more
offensive language. Take Charles Colvile for example. "How  can we
deprive people  of something  they've never had  before?" he raged.
"It's a ridiculous argument."  The 'it' in question  is the use of
that word by opponents of Sky's continued policy of securing exclu-
sive rights to England's winter cricket series.  It reached a peak
during  last year's  World Cup when  questions  were asked in  the
House of Commons about why England's fortunes  were not being seen
on terrestrial  television.  The voices of dissent  have been more
muted this time, but  it is clear  that Sky's initiative in  broad-
casting live  a series from India for  the first time has  not met
with universal approval.  Colvile, their  correspondent, puts  the
case for the defence.  "We all lift our eyebrows when we hear this
word 'deprived'," he said.  "We are breaking  new  ground and  pro-
viding people with the opportunity  to see more  televised cricket
than ever before.  The BBC could have  bought this series if  they
wished, but they didn't." Whatever your point of view, there is no
doubting Sky's  commitment to  covering  overseas cricket, not  to
mention  bravery in  tackling the logistical  problems  associated
with broadcasting on the sub-continent. Ten tons of equipment have
been  freighted to  India, including  Sky's  own  satellite  earth
station to beam the pictures  direct, and a production  team of 35
have flown out to work with the commentators. There is also commen-
tary in Hindi available on  the Astra satellite and Sky's pictures
will  be  seen in  38  countries, most  of  them  used  to  a less
'westernised' type of broadcasting. "I'd be stupid to say  I'm not
apprehensive about it  going right," said  Colvile.  "But TWI, the 
producers, have vast  experience of  this sort of  thing and if we
have any  problems we'll just have to react to  them."  Colvile is
joined in the commentary team by old Sky campaigners Geoff Boycott
and Henry  Blofeld, together  with Sunil Gavaskar and  David Gower.
"We've got  three of  the leading run-scorers  in Test  cricket, a
Minor Counties wicketkeeper and a left-arm spinner from the Surrey
League in our team," said Colvile, who plays for the Purford  club.
"Cricket is  one of the main planks of  Sky Sports coverage and we
hope to continue that."  There is still no live  Test cricket from
England on the Sky menu, but they hope  to have pictures  from the
forthcoming  West Indies-Pakistan  series in  the  Caribbean.  BBC
Radio Five will  have ball-by-ball  coverage of all England's Test
and one-day international matches in India and Sri Lanka.

Hi to all Javed fans who are like me, hurt by his removal from captaincy. I 
think with four lines of news flash from BBC source is not enough for anyone
sitting in computer center @somehost.edu to jump to the conclusions and start
showing his hatred and outburst using this forum. Remeber as far as Javed is
concerned he like all other great cricketers enjoys respect and popularity
due to his performance not due to the reason that he was born in some.place.ethnic.minority.region . His performance not only in last World cup but throughout his career is no doubt a classic example. As I always put him as the best thing happen to Pakistan cricket. 
Now as far as what type of politics is going on in BCCP only someone with more
info can come on the net and tell us what happend. I have asked SAN to give us
his opinion and I think we should wait for what is going on.
I also think its none of Imran's buissness to take interest in selection or anything at this time. It will be good if he can come after five year to take
administrative position as BCCP selection member or team Manager. Also I will
like to know the impressions of JM and his position on this issue. 
Because I remember last time on his removal he said that he likes to play
cricket and he was always with Imran in combating against the politics. I know
Imran was captain but the guy who really nailed down politics in Pakistan 
cricket after Asif Iqbal team is JM. Lets hope what ever is going on JM may not discourage and leave.

: Manjrekar is perhaps the most technically equipped
: player in the Indian side and it is sad to know that
: he has not been considered for the test side.

"most technically equipped" players can also go through a very lean patch, 
and if that happens to coincide with the rest of the team not doing well, it
should be expected that they will be dropped.

In many ways, this will be a true test of Manjrekar's courage and resolve. 
If he can come back from this, he will have learnt many invaluable lessons.
If not, maybe we may have given some other deserving (technically equipped)
player a chance to show his stuff.

Many times I have been fooled by things that look like the handle 
of a cricket bat :), but this time you may be right.

As a young boy, I remember palying a couple of times at the ultra-swank
Alwiyah Country Club in Baghdad, with a bunch of snotty middle aged
European men.  It took me two days to get tired of bowling all day and
then batting at #10.  Anyhow, I had other things on my mind back then,
such as doing belly-flops in the near-by pool.

There is no danger of Iraqis beeing invited to Sharjah in the near
future -- regardless of any assurances given by April Glaspie.  My
only successes came from claiming hit-wicket victims with short-pitch
diliveries.

In a related development, Business Week states that the British
accounting firm has bought millions of dollars worth of advertising
space during the upcoming Superbowl.  Yes, the same firm that does
the cricket rankings.

Yikes!

Not quite; one of those 4s was off a no-ball, and somewhere in the middle
there was a ball that was not scored off.
