Aus Squad to Sharjah : Apr 94

Australia has not chosen a wicket keeper for the one day tour  of
Sharjah,   insteed  the  slow  combination  of  wonky  kneed (and
groined) David Boon and captain/opener Mark  Taylor  will  muddle
through.   13 players have been named for the tour, with 5 of the
current squad in South Africa not touring.  Three, Craig   McDer-
mott,  Allan  Border & Ian Healy, made themselves unavailable for
personal reasons. Two,  Merv  Hughes  and Matthew  Hayden,   were
dropped.  The  three players added to bring the squad up to thir-
teen are left handed Western Australian Justin Langer (1198  runs
@ 70.47 in first class cricket this season), Michael Bevan anoth-
er left hander from New South Wales  (1199@74.94  (not  including
the   Shield final))  and right arm Victorian swing bowler Damien
Fleming (37 wickets at 24.41).  Mark Taylor has as expected  been
named Captain with Steve Waugh acting as vice captain.

The full squad is:
Taylor (c), S Waugh (vc), Bevan, Boon,  Fleming,  Jones,  Langer,
McGrath May, Reiffel, Slater, Warne, M Waugh.
