I apologise unreservedly if anybody takes offence to the Aussie
slang "Pakiis" used in the original note. But one question if
Australians are aussies
English are colloquially "POMS"
W.Indians are colloquially "WINDIES"
what are cricket players from Pakistan ??
(what a loaded question that is)

Er, how about "Pakistanies"?
ALso, why are the English known as POMs? Given that it stands for
"Prisoner of Mother England", surely that's you lot!

| 14.4 | POM or POHM? | CHEFS::KINGI | The hole in the wall gang | Wed Jan 29 1997 11:31 | 8 |

I always thought that POM should be spelt POHM and stood for Prisoners
Of Her Majesty. i.e. those of us stuck in poor old freezing Blighty.
Unlike those convicts who lie around on beaches all day sunning
themselves on all year round holidays :-)

| Hellooo Aussies,
Question: Can you explain the apparent metamorphasis of the bowling
of Michael Bevan from 'Liquorice Allsorts One-day fill in Man' to
Left-Arm Test spinner, outbowling the Fat Boy Warne?
re The sqaud for South Africa - bit of a worry when the likes of
Slater, Ponting, Law and Moody can't even make the final 14. Would
have thought they all must be vying for the Holiday to England in
May.

| 14.6 | not really but he is on line | SNOFS1::NANCARROW | | Mon Feb 03 1997 00:04 | 24 |
| Bevan
is considered only a part time bowler at the best, but for once he
actually bowled perfectly on line and as such did a lot of bowling and
had the Windies so confused he took some wickets. Bevan himself says he
is not a bowler and it is probably a matter of time before he goes off
line again and is used only as a part timer. As a matter of fact the
Aussies were all out for 243 in the fifth test at the WACA and the
Windies are 7 for 353 and Bevan has not taken a wicket on a spinners
paradise, mind you Warne only has two wickets as well. Bevan will
probably leverage his batting and bowling and retain a spot in the test
team for the forseeable future.
As for the fifth test Hayden was out for a duck again and the only two
to show some grit were M Waugh who scored 70 odd and Bevan 80 odd not
out. Lara has finally come good too late in the series with 130 odd.
Unfortunately history will show a 3-2 result in the test series which
will probably flatter the WINDIES team a bit considering the way they
caved in when they still had an opportunity to win the series.
I really have to ask the question is LARA a pressure player with the
series all over he has his best form of the summer. If he finnishes top
of the averages it will not be any justice to Chanderpaul or Jimmy
Adams or Carl Hooper who have done some honest work all through the
series.

| As expected WINDIES won the dead rubber after a pathetic batting
performance on a terrible test wicket, this however was no excuse
for the total surrender of the top order. Warne and Bichel showed the
guys on top how to do it, only Blewett had a genuine excuse for getting
out with a brute of a ball which skidded along the ground after hitting
one of the cracks. The aussies psyched themselves out over the pitch
and obviously were not happy with the thought of working for a living.
