   3. India beat Srilanka by a big margin of runs (V. Kambli 62,

   I  fear that the tournament has been abandoned due to the

Subject: Border's $2000 Sentence + other news
Organization: James Cook University
Date: 14 Dec 92 06:45:03 GMT

A story in the Sunday Mail (Queensland newspaper) reports that Allan Border's
comment to umpire Steve Randell that resulted in a $2000 fine was "You were
making lbw decisions yesterday, aren't you making them today?" Border did not
attend the hearing at which the fine was imposed, because it seemed
unimportant at the time.

Greg Ritchie says Allan Border should remain as captain, but Bob Simpson should
be replaced. Barry Richards says that nobody can function as both coach and
selector.

In the Currajong Indoor Cricket Centre C Grade (Tuesday nights) final, Jorge
Salles and John Farrell scored 44 runs with no dismissals, taking their team
(the No Stars) from 12 after 4 overs to 56 after 8. The No Stars scored a
massive 174 from 16 overs, thanks to a scintillating 73 from Arthur and
Andrew, then managed to limit their opponents (UCVYC, also known as "those
wankers") to about 46 from 16 overs. Highlights were John's catch, which
wanted to go anywhere but into his hands, and the shot which bounced off
Jorge's tummy to effect a brilliant run out. Oh yeah, Jorge's stumping was
pretty good too. Best of all, Mr Marvellous, chief dickhead of the opposing
side, was invited to bat again when the opposition couldn't find an eighth
batsman.

Batting first, WI have made 78/2 in 22 overs @ 3.55 per over. Haynes is
batting with 34 and Richardson with 19. Akram and Waqar bowled 5 overs each,
with Akram conceding just 11 runs, of which 6 were wides and 2 no-balls! 
Waqar conceded only 13. Sohail and Rehman have replaced them and bowled 6 overs
apiece, conceding about 25 runs each. Sohail played a part in both dismissals -
he ran out Lara, and then got Simmons caught by Malik.

I disagree: their bowling has been SOLID -- guys like Ataur Rehman,
Aamir Sohail, etc.  have been filling in pretty well.  In all honesty,
Pakistan has probably the best bowling attack in the world...

But the thing is that Pakistan's batting is quite brittle.  This has
cleary been the cause of Pakistan's troubles in the WSC.

Are you sure Manjrekar and Yadav bowled in this game. Who kept the
wickets - Kapil ??
Good show by Amre and Yadav in Batting. India is now the best OD team
in the world, because it had thrashed the current World champs last
time they ventured to meet it, and today it recovered its old glory by
beating an invincible team black and blue. 

All's well that end's well - This was the strategy of India.

      There are three ODIs slated for Saturday and two for Sunday.

Saturday 12 th December:

1.  Pakistan v West Indies at Adelaide

      THe game starts at 6:30 pm EST (North american). Scheduled to have radio
commentary starting at 8:00 pm EST on 21740 kHz and 15240 kHz. It is possible
that the West Indian viewers can watch this game. If it is possible, I will be
updating scores in my .plan file every five overs (can't do more frequently;
only one telephone line at home). If some other persons can pick these plan
files (by finger) and propagate the scores it will be better. If anybody plans
to do that, please announce it on RSC. THe first update will be at 6:25 pm EST
tonight (11 Dec)
THe addresses to finger are:
ksrao@power.ee.ndsu.nodak.edu
ksrao@energy.ee.ndsu.nodak.edu  and
sankara@plains.nodak.edu

2. SL v NZ

     THis game is a Day game. Later parts of the game may be heard on Radio New
Zealand on 9700 kHz (starting at 2:00am)

3. India v South Africa

    Fourt ODI at Johennesnerg: No commentary nor updates will be there. Only
updates I can post are from BBC.

Sunday Dec 13

1. Australia v Pakistan
       in Adelaide. THis is also scheduled to have radio commentary, but I
would not expect that WI viewers can watch this game.

2. SL v NZ
       The last game of the series, a D/N game. The commentary should come on
RNZ.

Yes indeed, bad behaviour reflects badly on the game as a whole.

I fail to see though how the nationality of a couple of guys in lab
coats will stop foolish men from wanting to punch each other.

I sure can.  I was there! :-(

Scene:  10.10 pm, clear Tuesday night in Sydney, early 1987.  The two Poms in
front of me have got up and left to go home when the big scoreboard showed
"England need 18 runs off 6 balls to win" :-)  Boy, would they have been
pissed off...

Bruce Reid, Australia's most economical one day bowler (at the time) comes in
to bowl to Allan Lamb.  Philip DeFreitas is the non-striker.

Allan Lamb belts the first delivery to the square leg fence fence for four.
OK, nice shot, but they still need 14 off 5 balls.  The next ball is stroked
past cover for a single, but the return is bad and there's an overthrow.
Damn, Allan Lamb is back on strike!  Still, it's 12 to get off four balls.

The next ball is belted to the long on fence for four.  This is getting
unbelievable!  C'mon Bruce, where's your line and length!  Looks like Allan
Lamb is making his own length.  So, it's 8 to get off three balls.  Now it's
getting close.

The next ball faced by Allan Lamb is unceremoniously clubbed into the heavens
and lands on the Hill under the scoreboard.  The crowd go bananas!  What a
huge six!  I sit open-mouthed in disbelief!  2 to get off two balls!

Allan Lamb then contemptuously thumps another four off the second last ball of
the match to win the game for England.  The crowd is stunned!  The England
supporters in the crowd go wild!  The England team run on to the field!  I go
home and kick the bean-bag!
