n1n1 CRICKET: FOURTH TEST,
/.%/.%/, Port Elizabeth
#######################################
Jack Russell has been told he will play
in his first World Cup thanks to his
batting displays in South Africa.
Alec Stewart has kept wicket recently
for England in one-day games but Ray
Illingworth said: "Jack will definitely
be a member of our squad.
"There are one or two places in the 14
to sort out, but he'll be going. His
batting is important and we want our
best wicketkeeper available."
Russell may also bat at number six in
the fourth Test while Mike Watkinson
could play though Peter Martin is
having treatment on a shoulder injury.
