Date-stamped : 27 Jun95 - 18:24 England v West Indies, 2nd Test Lord's, London, 22-26 June 1995 ====> Day 1, 22 Jun 95 Hooper bursts England bubble Smith and Thorpe mount dogged resistance but West Indies have last word, reports Christopher Martin-Jenkins Nothing novel as England struggle in real-life replay THERE were no resignations at Lord`s last night and talk of a leadership contest between Mike Atherton and Raymond Illingworth has been very much exaggerated. For both, however, and for all England supporters, the opening day of the second Test was anoth- er disappointing one; a case, once more, of so near and yet so far. At 185 for three five overs after tea, with Robin Smith and Gra- ham Thorpe looking as comfortable as any pair ever can against the West Indies, England were well placed for the total of 350- plus which might have given them a basis for winning the game. It took only six overs for the bubble to burst. Smith, Ramprakash and Thorpe disappeared in rapid succession, each trying to drive, the first two of them victims of Carl Hooper`s sinuous off-spin. From a low point of 205 for seven, some stuffing was put back into the innings in the final hour of the day by Peter Martin and Dominic Cork, one playing his second Test, the other his first. They added exactly 50 for the eighth wicket, only for Cork to be deceived and bowled by a slower yorker which gave Courtney Walsh his first wicket in the final over. They had batted with spirit and, on the whole, good judgment, but the West Indies, as usual, had had the last word. However many the tailenders manage this morning to add to their overnight 255 for eight, the total is unlikely to be competitive unless England bowl with exceptional accuracy. If they do theirs is not a hopeless position yet: this is more a Jimmy Adams pitch than a Hooper and Lara one. Slow, and allowing some movement off the seam, it demands hard graft and discipline both from batsmen and bowlers. Yesterday, as so often, the West Indies fast bowlers worked harder and for longer than England`s batsmen, generally, were prepared or able to do. Both Smith and Thorpe were missed at third slip by Richie Richardson off Ian Bishop Strokes regularly used in one-day cricket are locked into their mental computers to such an extent that they are played compul- sively, even when close fielders make them risky. Only Alec Stewart was out to a really bad ball, but only Cork, Mike Ather- ton and Graeme Hick were out to defensive shots. It was, to that extent, a continuation of the Headingley story. This was true even to the extent of catches being missed without England exact- ing due penalty. Early in the best partnership of the day both Smith and Thorpe were missed at third slip by Richie Richardson off Ian Bishop. Neither chance was easy but if both had been taken the West In- dies would already be batting. Their bowlers, Bishop and Curtly Ambrose especially, enjoyed little luck. Stewart and Cork both edged past their off stump early in their innings when trying to withdraw the bat and Thorpe, when 32, edged Hooper past Lara`s left hand at slip. Ottis Gibson, winning his first cap, naturally offered more scor- ing opportunities than his experienced colleagues but all four of the West Indies fast bowlers made batting an intense struggle for much of the day. The heat from flawless sunshine was tempered by a breeze blowing usefully for those, like Bishop, trying to swing the ball away from the Nursery End. Atherton won a valuable toss with a new #2 coin given to Ray Il- lingworth by the same bank manager who had given Illingworth him- self, when captain, a newly minted 50 pence piece. It was hardly the gesture of a chairman working against the wishes of his cap- tain and Richardson duly lost his first toss in eight Tests. Am- brose, cutting the ball both ways from his favourite Pavilion End, proceeded to give the England captain a stern test. Ramprakash fell to a ball which a club cricketer might have punched through extra cover Atherton had seemed equal to it, with 21 of an opening partner- ship of 29, when Ambrose produced a yorker which speared into his off stump. Walsh`s variations were no less menacing, but Gibson, coming on for his first bowl in the 17th over, gave Stewart the freedom to move into some of those easy trademark drives. He and Hick took England to the last over before lunch but Bishop demanded a stroke with his fifth ball and Hick edged it just far enough for Lara to catch him at first slip. Stewart will have nightmares about the way in which, having worked so hard, he cut a wide long-hop from Gibson straight to point in the second over of the afternoon. But Thorpe and Smith, riding their early luck, put together England`s best stand of the series to date in the pleasant heat of the afternoon. It was no coincidence that theirs was a left-hand, right-hand combination, nor that both love a battle. They had added 111 in 126 minutes and Thorpe had just followed Smith to his 50 when the latter, moving out of his ground, drove over and round a ball curling to- wards his middle and leg stumps. The festival air of Lord`s in the sunshine faded at once. Ramprakash fell to a ball which a club cricketer might have punched through extra cover, slicing his drive to slip. Three overs later, when his unquestionable responsibility was to bat through to the close, Thorpe drove at a ball angled across him and he, too, was caught at first slip. A nasty bouncer, homing in on his head, accounted for Darren Gough, who could only fend it to gully, and Martin was hit on his helmeted head by another, this time from Bishop, early in his in- nings. He stayed to play a stout and sensible part in the stand of 50 which put a better complexion on the England effort and Cork, too, played well enough against the second new ball to en- courage the hope that he is capable of developing into a genuine all-rounder at Test level. ====> Day 2, 23 Jun 95 Fraser finds cracks in a fragile order - Christopher Martin-Jenkins THE struggle between the rhythm and accuracy of Angus Fraser, a bowler of true Test class, and the stern application of Jimmy Adams, the most consistent batsman in the world on recent form, epitomised the greater team battle on an enthralling second day at Lord`s. By the close, the West Indies, the hands of many of their batsmen bruised by balls leaping off the increasingly un- stable cracks in the pitch, were 209 for six, 74 behind England. But for three dropped catches and a number of close calls, in- cluding a con- fident appeal for a catch behind off Darren Gough when Keith Arthurton had made only two, the slight advantage which England take into this third morning would have been greater still. If they show the determination to get their heads down as the West Indies did yesterday against demanding fast bowling by Fraser, Gough and Peter Martin, in particular, England`s first win against the West Indies at Lord`s for 38 years will be in sight this evening. Blessed by another day of sunshine and cooled by a stiff breeze, the Friday crowd saw an England bowling performance which bore no relation to the slapdash effort at Leeds. Fraser was the backbone of the attack, unremittingly accurate from the Nursery End, mov- ing fluently in with the northerly behind him, frequently bounc- ing the ball nastily and, except when probing deliberately out- side the left-handers` off stump, demanding a stroke from every ball. Once more he made the point that whenever he is fit he should never be left out of an England side. With his ideal high action, he loves bounce in a pitch, and seldom if ever gets so much at Lord`s as he did yesterday. This game is unlikely to last more than four days and the MCC committee, not to mention their groundsman, Mick Hunt, will be more anxious than ever that the former Test pitch, relaid in the autumn of 1992, should soon be ready for big matches. Next door to this strip, it is to be test- ed in a forthcoming championship match. Andy Roberts, the West Indies coach, criticised the match pitch last night in terms hardly likely to stiffen the resolve of the team who will have to bat fourth on it. He called it "one of the worst I have seen in England, though I have seen worse in Asia". The additional claim that it was "under- prepared" is an unjust slur on the dedicated Lord`s staff, whatever he might think of their expertise. An overworked square is the problem at Lord`s An overworked square is the problem at Lord`s, not any lack of industry. The coach would do well to reflect, indeed, on the poor state of recent Test pitches in Trinidad and of the net pitches offered for practice sometimes in the Caribbean, though not on Roberts` own ground in Antigua where standards are high. The Lord`s net pitches are second to none and the match pitches will no doubt be equally good once the relaid strips have bedded down. Last night`s comments made a nonsense of the coach`s statement 24 hours earlier that the West Indies were looking to score 500 and bat only once. England added 28 to their first-innings score in the first 45 minutes of the day, but it should not have been even that many. Richard Illingworth and Martin were both dropped by Junior Mur- ray, the first a straightforward outside edge by Illingworth off Walsh which dipped through his gloves and went for four. Illing- worth added 12 more and has not been out in the series. The value of the 78 runs gleaned by England`s last three wickets was emphasised when they took two wickets before lunch, the prelude to an epic afternoon struggle. Gough made the first break with the fifth ball of the innings when Sherwin Campbell flashed at one pitched on a good length and was caught behind. Having hit one beautiful square drive off Gough, Brian Lara was constrained by disciplined bowling, adding only two more runs in his next 22 balls before Fraser straightened a ball to have him leg before. Carl Hooper played immaculately, Adams with less fluency but no less grit, in a third-wicket partnership of 65. Only when Richie Richardson came in, however, did a batsman threaten to get right on top. Adams plays close to the ground, with a firm grip of a strong left hand placed at the very base of his handle, and five times he was rapped painfully as he battled his way to 36 not out by tea. Hooper had had his head down for 36 overs when, half an hour before the interval, he played forward to Martin and inside-edged the ball on to his stumps. Enter the captain to play the innings of the day. This was a much-restored Richardson, playing straighter than he had in his lean period and with altogether more conviction. He hit nine fours before Fraser found his glove, too, and Stewart scooped up the catch. Two overs later Adams was lbw exactly as Lara had been and Martin caught a miscued drive by Murray when he and Arthurton were threatening to bat out the day. Instead, Ottis Gibson, bold- ly hitting 12 from Martin`s unlucky final over, reminded England that the game is not over yet. ====> Day 3, 24 Jun 95 Walsh strikes in bad light as England battle Scyld Berry at Lord`s on a match which is increasing in both in- tensity and ferocity A GAME of cricket less like the Ramadhin and Valentine spinning Calypso Test of 1950 could scarcely be imagined. So fierce indeed has this Second Test been in its intensity that at times it has strained the very boundaries of its definition as a game. The injury to Graham Thorpe, who was hit on the helmet by his first ball from Courtney Walsh and sent concussed to St Mary`s Hospital, in Paddington, for an X-ray and an overnight stay, was the most obvious manifestation of this ferocity. But overall the power of the West Indian fast bowling, and, no less, of England`s counter-attacking batsmen, presented an equally exciting and even more awesome spectacle than that of 45 years ago. A persistent greyness and a pitch of uneven bounce combined to make the West Indian bowling more threatening than usual. When Walsh ran in and bowled from the Nursery End, his arm perhaps rising above the level of the sightscreen, Thorpe ducked and was struck on the right side of his head, only the helmet coming between the beamer and his temple. By the time England`s physio, Dave Roberts, reached the crease, Thorpe did not know where he was. But the Surrey left-hander was able to walk off the field and to the ambulance. A specialist will decide if he can bat today. In discussing the ball which injures like no other, for being unexpected, playing conditions for this series state in legalese: "A fast high full pitched ball should be defined as a ball that passes, or would have passed, on the full above waist height of the batsman standing upright at the crease." It was debatable whether the ball was above - rather than at - waist height; but there was no question of its lethal potential. Walsh delivered a beamer against Australia in the recent Antigua Test; and here some spectators in the Compton Stand, in front of which Walsh went afterwards to field, voiced their suspicions of his intent. For the third time in his last six Test innings Atherton was caught down the leg-side However, it should be offered in Walsh`s defence that he has been experimenting with a variety of yorkers and slower balls, to com- pensate for his natural, gradual decrease in speed. Not long after the accident, his lack of control in this regard was illus- trated when a ball soared out of his hand and into the air, to be fielded in the slips. But his reputation as a master-bowler will be damaged by any more of the same. Before Thorpe, Walsh claimed two victims in the more acceptable sense, in the course of his fastest spell of the summer. Knowing that target-chasing is not the tourists` forte - even 150 would not be simple on this driest of pitches - Walsh pulled out the full throttle to minimise the final task. For the third time in his last six Test innings (it happened twice in Perth) Atherton was caught down the leg-side. The one deficiency in his batting is his tendency to move so far across to protect his stumps that he is not in complete control when a ball bounces about his gloves. Stewart was also caught down the legside off the most gentle and infuriating of brushes. In six Test innings as opener-cum-keeper he has yet to post 50, but this experiment was no outright failure, since his bold and at times sumptuous strokes loosened the grip which the West Indians could easily have exerted on England`s second innings, and lit the way for Graeme Hick`s most confident innings against them. Fiercer still and fiercer became the contest, in a dull light more associated with Leeds, and on a pitch more like Headingley than Headingley was. Hick took on Walsh and hooked him - any old where - in an over that cost 15, as the blood of this match welled to the surface. When Carl Hooper came on for light relief, Hick sailed forth to loft a straight six. England`s 100 surged up in the 21st over, and no-one dared to counsel caution or advise "no square-cuts" as at Leeds. So often more assured and fluent in his second innings, Hick passed 2,000 Test runs and with Robin Smith grabbed hold of the tiger and held on as best they could. Although Hick was bowled when Ian Bishop burst between his bat and pad from round the wicket, Smith kept going until bad light brought a close at 5.40. His right to return to the England side cannot now be questioned. If there was any parallel to the Calypso Test of 1950, it may have been that Richie Richardson - like his predecessor John God- dard - said, when West Indies took a first innings lead: "Dat`s nice indeed". England had anticipated one of their own, but the four outstanding West Indian wickets added 115 to their overnight total. Richard Illingworth remained superfluous as the West Indians bat- ted until 40 minutes after lunch At least, while Keith Arthurton cover-drove and nourished the tail, England`s batsmen-in-waiting had the encouragement of see- ing that the ball was not bouncing as steeply as it had on Fri- day. One shot through at Ottis Gibson, when Darren Gough bowled from the pavilion to the more cracked end; but otherwise the ball misbehaved less, perhaps because the cloudiness arrested the dry- ing and deteriorating process. Richard Illingworth remained superfluous as the West Indians bat- ted until 40 minutes after lunch, and he will have to make a sub- stantial contribution with his spin today or tomorrow for his selection to be considered wiser than that of a sixth specialist batsman. If England, 114 ahead with six wickets intact, and Thorpe partially so, do win this match, they will probably do so in spite of their formula not because of it. Gibson, on his debut, has bowled too quickly and short but his batting and Bishop`s return have strengthened the tail and their team`s attitudes after some decadent slogging against Australia. They may have a second chance here, because the West Indian run- chase can hardly be the cruise it was at Headingley. Angus Fraser will again be England`s main hope. The leviathan could not break through in the morning with the ball old or new, and retired to the deep, but when he emerged for air after lunch the last two wicketswere his due reward. Gough, in catching Arthurton`s hook, dashed backwards and leaped to his right, and as he fell banged his head. But that is no no- velty for a bowler who risks rupturing all with every ball he bowls for England, and who will be ready to do so again for Eng- land to level this series. ====> Day 4, 25 Jun 95 Lara stands in England`s way after Smith delivers his best - Christopher Martin-Jenkins ROBIN SMITH`S gritty and skilful innings of 90, his partner- ship of 85 with Graham Thorpe and a wicket before the close yes- terday has taken England to within nine wickets of their first defeat of the West Indies at Lord`s since 1957. There, is, however, another side of the coin, the one marked with a West Indian victory. This is a very different pitch from the one on which, 11 years ago, Gordon Greenidge battered the West Indies to a fifth-day total of 344 for one, but it is very far from the minefield which the coach, Andy Roberts, suggested, in so many words, that it might become. Some indication of the unpredictable nature of yet another of the exciting Tests which Lord`s has produced over recent years may be gained from the fact that Ladbrokes made the draw their favourite result at tea yesterday. By the close it had become 8-1. When the final day starts at 11am, the West Indies, with Brian Lara 38 not out, will need a further 228 runs to go two up in the series and thereby, in all probability, to win it. If England bowl the right length they should still come out on top, but Lara is a genius and if he gets a start again this morn- ing normal rules will not apply. He showed by bold, full-blooded strokes on either side of the wicket last night that he is quite capable of spoiling England`s party. The fourth successive full house at Lord`s had a wonderful time Three times in an over from Angus Fraser he cut and stroked the ball to the boundary and already he has hit seven boundaries. This will be the true test of Ray Illingworth`s insistence on England having five bowlers because to justify his selection his namesake, Richard, must take some wickets on a pitch as dry as a madeira cake, if not so crumbly. The fourth successive full house at Lord`s had a wonderful time: gripping cricket, bright sunshine and pure air all day and, as a bonus, a shapely, streaker, whose hedonistic invasion of the pitch was somehow in keeping with the joyful atmosphere of the day. Smith`s 148 not out here four years ago is generally regarded as his greatest innings. All the conditions were right for him then: England up against it; everyone else struggling; the attack menacing and unremittingly fast. Had he been suffering from a minor injury too, it might have been somewhere near his idea of an earthly heaven. I do not mean to suggest any trace of maso- chism in Smith`s character, just that rare sort of courage which wins medals for valour in wartime. He said before this match, in view of Mr Illingworth`s stern admonition for him to stand up and be counted, that if it was to be his last Test he intended to en- joy it. He has certainly done that and it will certainly not be his last either. He missed his 10th Test hundred, which would have been his fourth against the West Indies, by 10 runs yesterday but he bound the innings together with batting of the utmost determination, not falling until the new ball was taken by the West Indies after the tea interval. He had come in on a grey, cold Saturday evening after Thorpe had been hit on the side of his helmeted head by Courtney Walsh`s in- tended slower yorker. It became, instead, a beamer. Fully recovered after concussion and a night in hospital, Thorpe said yesterday that he had never seen the ball at all, losing it as Walsh`s long arm was lost in the background of trees above the sightscreen at the Nursery End. He had no such problems yesterday as he and Smith provided the ballast England needed to set the West Indies a healthy target in the final innings. Ramprakash remains assailed by self-doubt Mark Ramprakash, playing forward, had edged Ian Bishop to second slip in the first over. He could hardly bare to face the conse- quences of this pair on his home ground and he can only pray for one more chance. Unlike Graeme Hick, whose bold and commanding 67 in equally demanding circumstances on Saturday was as good an in- nings as he has played in his career against the West Indies, Ramprakash remains assailed by self-doubt. Not so Thorpe, whose first half hour at the crease included two Lara-like pulls for four, one each off Walsh and Bishop, and two controlled off-drives off Walsh. Curtly Ambrose, ordered by Roberts to bowl a good length, allowed very few such liberties, conceding only 14 runs in an eight-over spell before lunch which continued with equal steadiness into the afternoon session. The ball was moving sideways off the seam and lifting nastily too at times but with Carl Hooper off the field all morning because of flu, Richie Richardson had little option but to work his fast bowlers hard. The captain took a brilliant low catch to his left in the gully to arrest a crisp square-cut by Thorpe early in the afternoon but Dominic Cork, flexing his body below the short ones with the same relish as Smith, stayed for more than an hour while 50 more were added, letting himself down only when he followed a wide ball and gave wicketkeeper Junior Murray the chance of a good catch in front of first slip. Richardson would have liked to take the new ball at once, but judged that his bowlers needed their tea-break. As soon as it was taken, in the 94th over, England`s last four wickets went down for 18 runs, three of them to Ambrose, bowling straight and to a length. He needed the help, however, of a marvellous swooping catch at square-leg by Keith Arthurton, whose fielding throughout the innings was a joy to watch. To have felt completely confident about this final day England would have wanted two wickets, and one of them to be Lara`s. The dangerous Hooper fell to a lofted drive to mid-off, exactly as Mike Atherton had planned, but Lara, swift to punish the tiniest error of length, was not so simple a proposition and Sherwin Campbell, despite being hit on the point of the elbow by a lift- ing ball of good length from Fraser, played resolutely to the finish of a golden day. Perhaps the bookies this morning should really be offering odds against the third Test match tie. ====> Day 5, 26 Jun 95 Cork delivers vintage debut Stewart`s brilliant catch to dismiss Lara sets England on road to rare victory at Lord`s to level series reports Christopher Martin-Jenkins. Cork hits right number in Test baptism DOMINIC Cork`s lissom bowling and Sherwin Campbell`s mature and accomplished batting were the supreme achievements on the fi- nal day of a Test match of epic intensity and classical fluctua- tions, but it was one moment of inspiration which decided it. Brian Lara was batting with a style and panache to delight the purists and put fear into the hearts of English patriots when he followed a ball wide of his off stump from Darren Gough and edged it well short of first slip. Alec Stewart dived left and took a superb one-handed catch. Thus, as early as the seventh over, the die was cast, though it was not until 20 minutes after tea that Cork took the final wick- et to complete an analysis of seven for 43, the best figures pro- duced by a bowler on his first appearance for England. Cork`s return was the means by which England won at Lord`s for the first time in six matches and only the fourth in 17. Victo- ry by 72 runs, the first against the West Indies here since 1957, makes it one match all with four to play. It has ig- nited the series. England won this game rather than the West Indies throwing it away with discipline the key to their performance, which was vastly improved on Headingley. Campbell played an outstanding innings, the highest of the game The defeat triggered chants of "we want a new captain" after the match from a group of Caribbean voices. In view of the strange speculation about Mike Atherton before this game this was ironic, but Atherton would still be happy to swap with Richie Richardson his record of 10 wins and five defeats in his 20 matches in charge. Ray Illingworth, the old sea dog, did not take the opportunity to appoint Atherton as captain for the remainder of the series, but that decision has already, unofficially, been made. The chairman was understandably irritated by the suggestions that Atherton might resign. Such a theory - the subject of a leader and three other articles in one newspaper - gave little weight to Atherton`s tenacity and intelligence. His suspect back and the imposing demands of the job may shorten his Test career, but not, with luck, before he has brought home the Ashes from Aus- tralia. Yesterday`s events may in time be seen as an important step along that road. Although Campbell played an outstanding innings, the highest of the game, and the pitch had nothing like the nasty lift which had been expected, there was little prospect after Lara`s dismissal of anyone producing the match-winning innings. Instead Cork, dropping at once into a wonderfully fluent rhythm from the Nursery End, bowled four separate spells, taking two for eight in his first five overs before lunch and another crucial wicket, that of the obdurate Keith Arthurton, immed- iately after lunch. Cork`s relish for the big occasion was no surprise to those who have seen the Derbyshire all-rounder as a potential England Test cricketer since he took eight for 53 before lunch on his 20th birthday against in Essex in 1991. He should have gone to Aus- tralia last year, for England`s good on that tour, but in retros- pect believes it may be no bad thing that he did not. The experi- ence with England`s A team in India made him more mature, he said yesterday. The early birds saw some beautiful strokes from Lara Nor can the pleasure of playing in a side who expected to win have done Cork harm. Advice from Malcolm Marshall at a clinic at Chesterfield in the spring - particularly the guidance which en- abled him to master the inswinger -completed the polishing of an ambitious and talented cricketer. His batting can only improve. As for his bowling, the cork was ready for pulling on a mature wine before the Headingley Test and it is just a pity that he was not picked there. A pity, too, perhaps, that Illingworth did not insist upon Stewart opening, except after a long day in the field, in that match as he did here. As it happened the fifth bowler was not essential to the victory, though Illingworth`s view is that his namesake, even by bowling only seven overs in each innings, gave valuable respite to the faster bowlers. Atherton adds the point that it is essential to have the option of a change of pace. Whether that should come from a steady professional like Richard Illingworth or a potential fourth-innings match-winner like Ian Salisbury is the next question. This and whether to stay loyal to Mark Ramprakash are matters for cool deliberation before next week`s third Test at Edgbaston. The final act of this enthralling game was played in the most perfect weather before a crowd which grew well beyond 10,000 as the climax approached. The early birds saw some beautiful strokes from Lara, including the drive through extra cover off Gough which gave him his ninth four and his 50 off 59 balls. A 10th boundary followed three balls later - a looser, riskier, cover drive -and Gough persevered with his line to gain his reward. Campbell did his best to ensure that the blow was not mortal to the West Indies. Compact, correct, stylish and, above all, choos- ing the ball to hit, he held the innings together with a judgment which the absent Desmond Haynes could hardly have bettered. Despite his early success, Gough, bowling into the wind from the Pavilion End, again struggled for rhythm and Angus Fraser, accu- rate as ever, did not get the bounce he achieved in the first in- nings. Peter Martin was given the first opportunity to follow Fraser but from his first incisive over, it was Cork who looked the part. Richardson succumbed to the pressure of accurate bowling Adams was caught at second slip, driving at a ball of full length, and it was a significant pointer to England`s prospects that it was Hick, often suspect when fielding to left-handers, who safely pouched the catch. Nine overs, but only six runs, later Richardson succumbed to the pressure of accurate bowling on the dry, slow, tricky but never venomous pitch, hitting across the line and palpably leg before. The umpires, incidentally, con- tributed to the overall quality of the match. Campbell changed gear the moment that Arthurton had been caught off bat and pad by Paul Weekes, fielding substitute because Gra- ham Thorpe had `flu. Thirty-nine runs were added, and Caribbean hopes rekindled, but Weekes held another good catch, diving right, to dismiss Junior Murray and only Ottis Gibson remained to give convincing support to his former Ellerslie College school friend. They lifted their team to within 98 of the required 296 before Cork dismissed them both. Campbell, for once, played across the line and gave Stewart his second catch off the inside edge. Cork took the last two wickets after tea to seal a first Test match he will savour forever.
