CA to recognise World Series Cricket records

http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/co...43863.html

Quote:Cricket Australia's board of directors have approved the inclusion of WSC statistics in the official playing records of Australian participants, including Ian and Greg Chappell, Dennis Lillee, Rod Marsh and Len Pascoe. CA is also in discussions with other member boards to do likewise for the players signed from the West Indies, England, South Africa, Pakistan and New Zealand.

If they are going to do this, then they should be including the ROW matches too.  THose were some top class matches with great players from around the world. 

This is a step in the right direction and all other boards need to do likewise. I believe it was Shane Warne and Michael Holding that expressed outrage and dismay this summer,during the Ashes series, that these matches weren't officially recognised.

Anything that further enhances the reputation of the genius that is Barry Richards will always get my full support. Richards and Greenidge, were for me, the greatest opening pair. What a Hampshire team that was.

Colin Bland from South Africa was deported from London !

Randolph Ramnarace of Guyana , inventor of REVERSE Swing bowling :

though uncapped for West Indies was Capped for ROW

He bowled in tandem with both Wes Hall and Peter Pollock  ...

Hall and Pollock? That's not a bad tandem... I guess that also begs the question, who was the better Pollock, Peter, Graeme or Shaun?

Peter and nephew Shaun are Fast bowlers

Graeme is Shaun father methink and a top class BAT !

.....they went down to Hampshire some twenty or so minutes from time on the final day.

It was much the same 200 years ago, when the men of Hampshire

could take on all-comers and beat them. ::LOL::

The first game was played at Dean Park, Bournemouth - my old home ground. Good stuff.

Wes Hall and Peter Pollock this time achieving a fine speed and control.

But the almost [size=10pt]unknown[/size] Randolph Ramnarace, from Guyana, bowling medium pace,

dismissed Chappell, Walters and Sheahan : in quick succession to steal much of the honour !!

Quote:Ramnarace's fun-loving lifestyle has been the subject of several cricket anecdotes. It was said that on one occasion he left Bourda for the movie theatre, believing that a match scheduled for that day would be entirely washed out by the frequent and intense Georgetown rains. The weather changed unexpectedly, play began and Ramnarace was nowhere to be found!
