Hatton, probably in the first round.  \n\nHughes wouldn't stand a chance!

Yeah you are right. It should give equal apportunity to both, otherwise very soon we'll not be having any quality Seam/Swing/Spin bowler. There will be only bits and pieces bowlers.

England 237 all out on a good batting wicket. Jones is injured so Matt Prior is keeping wicket.\n\nEngland are up against it.

Worcestershire.\n\nIn 2006 Zaheer signed for Worcestershire County Cricket Club as their second overseas player as a replacement for Australian Nathan Bracken. He became the first Worcestershire player to take 10 wickets on debut for over a 100 years against Somerset, even though Worcestershire eventually lost the game.

Opening bowlers have long been the bane of the Indian cricket team and the reason why they do not get close to the number 1 ranking.  Australia hit number 1 with McGrath and Gillespie and exception support from Kaspa, Bichel or Lee as a first change option.  And of course they had Warne.  South Africa briefly hit the number 1 spot using points from the great Donald career and the emergence of Pollock and Ntini as good opening bowlers.\n\nIndia do not need bowlers who are occassionally good with the new ball, they need bowlers who are constantly good and they could also use a good old ball bowler like Simon Jones.\n\nBatting will avail them nothing, they had an all time great batting lineup in Ganguly, Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman and it still didn't help them win away series.

Not a cricketer myself, but I do live in North London so have some kind of qualification...\n\nI've not seen a cricket pitch round my way.  I have in South London.  So I'd guess south...\n\nThough if you're talking as to which town or so on to live in, not which area of London, I'd say that anywhere from Essex downwards would be pretty good.

This is my List!\n1)No doubt, the first place go to Sir Don Bradman. Because Bradman is Bradman\n1)Sachin Tendulkar:- He scores the runs so easily with his elegant technique.\n2)Shane Warne:- words like slider, zooter, back-spinner and toppie never existed - I think it came into the list after Shane Warne. Or just ask Mike Gatting,how Shane Warne bowled England captain Mike Gatting in the first Ashes Test 1993. That's it\n3)Brian Lara:- He is a run machine with all type of shots. Just look at his brilliant knock of 400* proves his class.\n\nRicky Ponting should be in the list, but he is not considered as a gentleman in the Cricket! Cricket is considered as Gentleman's Game (in the field). So he doesn't desrve it.

LOL! Not much point checking that wikipedia link when he 's just cut & pasted most of it!\n\n\nA briefer answer, based on the fact that you understand how limited overs cricket works:\n\n..Unlike one day cricket, both teams have TWO batting innings each. The only limit to when an ininings has to end is when the batting side lose their tenth wicket, although a captain can also call an early end to his side's innings if he believes his side has more than enough runs to place them in a very strong position (this is called "declaring") \n\n...The first objective of the team batting first is to score enough runs to make the match almost impossible for the fielding team to win. Remember, they can take as long as they wish to do this providing they have at least one wicket left. \n\n...The first objective of the team bowling first is to dismiss the batting side for as few runs as possible, as quickly as possibly.  \n\n..Once the bowling side have taken all 10 wickets, the batting side's first innings end, and the teams change over. Alternatively, if the batting side have such a big total that they think the bowling side will seriously struggle to match it, they can declare an end to their own innings.\n\n.. so, here's an example. Lets say Australia go on today to make 560 all out. England then bat and make 420 all out. This means Australia would have a lead of 140 runs on the first innings. Australia then have their second innings, and make 300 all out. They now have a lead of 440, so.. England must make 441 in their second innings to win the match OR avoid losing all their wickets to force a draw. \n\n...Bear in mind that although there is NO limit on the length of \na team's innings, there IS a time limit in the match..namely five days. So a team has to judge how to pace its two innings and the speed of its scoring.. too long, and it does not allow itself enough time to dismiss the opposition, making it easier for the opposition to play for a draw. Any team which finds itself in a position where a win becomes unlikely ( like England at the moment !) will always try to avoid defeat by playing defensively for a draw.\n\nThats as simple as I can make it!

Twenty20 \n---------\nTwenty20 cricket was introduced by the England and Wales Cricket Board in 2003. It is a form of one-day cricket in which each team bats for a maximum of only 20 overs, contrasting with 50 overs for a standard one-day match. The format means that a game can be completed in about three hours, with each innings meant to last less than 75 minutes.\n\nMajor changes from the laws of cricket include:\n\nShould a bowler deliver a no ball by overstepping the popping crease, his next delivery is designated a free-hit, from which the batsman can only be dismissed through a run-out, as is the case for the original "no ball". \nBowlers may bowl a maximum of only 4 overs per innings, as is standard for 20-over cricket. \nUmpires may award 5-run penalties at their discretion if they believe either team is wasting time. \nIf the fielding team do not complete bowling their 20 overs within 75 minutes, the batting side is credited an extra 6 runs for every whole over bowled after the 75 minute mark. \nThe following fielding restrictions apply: \nNo more than 5 fielders can be on the leg side at any time. \nDuring the first 6 overs, a maximum of 2 fielders can be outside the fielding circle. \nAfter the first 6 overs, a maximum of 5 fielders can be outside the fielding circle. \nIf the match ends with the scores tied, the tie is broken with a bowl-out (similar to a penalty shootout in football), with 5 bowlers from each side delivering 2 balls each at an ungarded wicket. If the number of wickets is equal after the first 10 balls per side, the bowling continues and is decided by sudden death. \n\nSupersub (Rule is Cancelled in Feburary 2006)\n------------------------------------------\nunder experimental one-day international rules introduced in July 2005, any player may be substituted for the twelfth man, with the substitute able to take over the substituted players batting and bowling duties. A twelfth man used as a substitute in this way is known as the supersub. \nThe first supersub was Vikram Solanki, named as a supersub for Simon Jones at Headingley on 7 July 2005. However, as Solanki replaced Jones after England had bowled, and England only lost one wicket in chasing down Australia's target, Solanki did not get to play any part in the game. The ICC cancelled the experiment in February 2006. \n\nPower Play\n-----------\nThis term is taken from football. An offensive maneuver in a team game. The original rules of ODIs stated that during the first 15 overs, only two fielders should be allowed outside a 30-metre circle around the wicket. This meant that attacking batsman were likely to score runs quickly in the first 15 overs, but would become more watchful at the end of the spell. In an effort to keep the game more exciting during the middle overs, the 15 over block with fielding restrictions at the beginning of the innings is reduced to 10, and thereafter, the captain of the fielding side has to decide when to bring his fielders in again for two further blocks of 5 overs, at any time he likes. These 5 over spells are called Powerplay 2 and Powerplay 3. (Powerplay 1 is the first block of 10). The rule was first encountered in the One-day International between England and Australia on 7 July, 2005.
