lily’s boys ill at ease
PESHAWAR Feb 18: Sickly England won their first World Cup points here today but saw their stock sink even further after all-rounder Craig White was ruled out of the rest of the tournament, reports AFP.
The easy eight-wicket Group B victory over the United Arab Emirates part-timers was dwarfed by the bad news that began with White pulling up with a pulled muscle in his left side.
The all-rounder gasped in pain and clutched his rib-cage after bowling a mere nine deliveries.
England supremo Ray Illingworth, whose outfit are already short of struggling top-order batsmen Robin Smith (groin) and Graeme Hick (thigh), said he would appeal to the Cup organisers PILCOM for an immediate replacement.
Skipper Mike Atherton, meanwhile, dropped himself down to number three but failed to recapture his form, dismissed for only 20, while England's pinch-hitting experiment with Neil Smith also failed to convince.
Smith, son of former England captain MJK who had earlier taken three wicketk with his off-spin for a single run in 16 balls, looked off colour from the start, his timing asked on the low-bouncing wicket.
He looked even paler later, reaching 27 before being sick out in the middle and retiring. The 1,000-pound man of the match cheque, however, should prompt a rapid recovery-
Illingworth, commenting on White's misfortune, said: "Craig might be able to bowl
gently In lour weeks but he won’t be able to play again in the World Oup. Craig is very upset . He was Just starting to really believe in himself.'1
if England's request for a replacement is granted, a decision will be made on Sunday evening, with Dermot Reeve. Mike Watkinson and Chris Lewis the likely candidates to Join the squad.
England will have to look hard at the match video to find much cause for consolation
Opener Alec Stewart moved his feet well and produced a couple of classic off-side strokes, but that plus was cancelled out by his lazy Dick off his toes Into Ganesh Mylva-ganam's hands at short midwicket.
Atherton, out cheaply against the Kiwis, was dismissed as he played out side left armer Syed Azhar Saeed s arm ball. Graeme Thorpe (44 not out) and Neil Fairbrother (12 not out), however, looked untroubled as they got England home without further drama. Illingworth will have been happier with the fielding performance against the side thrashed first time out by South Africa.
But two chances were put down — one by Smith off his own bowling, the other by Stewart going full length at midwicket.
England’s overall mood in the field was much busier than it had been in the defeat to New Zealdhd. while birthday boy Phil DeFreitas bowled impressively for figures of two for ten overs.
Dominic Cork also chipped in with two wickets as, the Emirates, choosing to bat. collapsed to 88 for seven before the tailenders grafted past the three-figure mark.
Mazhar Hussain top-scored for the Emirates with 33 before falling to Smith, who fin-
ished with three for 29.
England play Holland here next on Feb 22. while the Emirates travel to Gujranwala to take on Pakistan on Feb 24.
