An ascent of ably Astle
ISLAMABAD. Feb 18 (AFP): Nathan Astle, more than any player in this cricket World Cup, knows how fickle fate can be.
One day you make a century. the next a duck. One day a hero, the next a postscript.
The wider cricketing public had probably never heard of Astle when the Christchurch-born 24-year-old arrived for the tournament. They had probably not heard much of the likes of Fleming. Spearman or Twose either.
New Zealand, everyone accepted. shorn of class-acts like Martin Crowe and Mark Greatbatch.- would play a game as’ anonymous and grey as their kit, then fly quietly home after the group games.
. Two games later, and that forecast is being rapidly revised. Astle — the man shifted up the order to replace off-colour Greatbatch — put the record straight with a sparkling 101 to pave the way towards victory against England in Group B.
On Saturday against Holland, however, he lasted a mere five balls before a mix-up with fellow opener Craig
Spearman and a direct tut from cover saw him run out and waddling off for an early, shower wlti^ a fat. ugly duck follow!rig his name.
When Spearman — who, to make matters even worse went on to win the man-of-the-match award with 68 runs.

Joined him in the dressing room. Astle was waiting to start quicking his complaints.
Spearman admitted: T was doing a lot of apologising. There weren't too many kind words."
Astle, however, though fresh to the top level, has
clearly worked out the right way to handle one-day cricket s on«-day fame.
There was no strutting after the opening game at Ahtped-abad. and there was to be no moping around when New Zealand took the field against the Dutch at Baroda. Astle, business-like took two catches and sent down a useful spell of medium pace.
The job prospects of a pinch hitter — a batsman promoted up the order to score quickruns — are. by definition, precardfous. Astle says: "My job is to go for the runs in the first 15 overs, and that's what I try . to do. Sometimes it clicks.
some times it doesn't."
More to the point, however, it is not worth getting too flustered by the occasional slice of bad luck. Sooner or later, a compensating dose of good fortune is likely to strike.
Astle indeed, may have seen Saturday's misfortune coming, after his lucky let-off against England when he was put down in the slips in only the third over before taking the attack apart.
Astle, only the fourth Kiwi to hit a World Cup ton. seems to be doing just that." I have now got three one-day centuries as an opener." he says. "So I suppose I am not doing loo badly-
