The declaration of a state of emergency last Thursday in Natal/KwaZulu has diminished the number of violent flashpoints, according to the police, but has had little impact on the death rate, which yesterday climbed above 60 for the last five days.Hopes for peace were bolstered yesterday by news of the imminent arrival in South Africa of the former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger and Britain’s former foreign secretary Lord Carrington, on a mediation mission.A senior ANC official, who did not wish to identified, said talks between the ANC and Inkatha would take place over the next few days to prepare the ground for the mediators’ arrival.’My understanding is that Kissinger and Carrington. It has suffered a severe flight of capital and it has failed to invest in skills which might develop new directions for the economy.

Neil Fairbrother was in long enough yesterday to confirm that he is in horrible form, and if Robin Smith and Graeme Hick have any idea of how to play the Indian spinners, they are doing a good job of keeping it well hidden.Gooch himself is in pleasing form, and Alec Stewart also looked in touch for the first time yesterday, but once Gooch was bowled attempting to force the pace against the off-spinner, Rajesh Chauhan, a probable total of around 280-290 disappeared with three wickets for three runs in the space of three overs.Mike Gatting, the only batsman apart from Gooch to look impressive so far, ran himself out, and from 169 for 2 with 15 overs remaining, England would have made an even lower total than 245 from their allotted 50 overs but for some enterprising improvisation from Dermot Reeve and John Emburey.Emburey, however, is not here for his batting, and as a key figure in England’s one-day strategy, he is perhaps the biggest of all the various worries the tourists have right now.This is a dangerous country at the moment, but few people are in greater danger of injury than India’s cricket spectators while Emburey is bowling.Unusually for a spinner, Emburey is often employed in the latter overs of a one-day game, and when he returned for his second spell yesterday, the Board XI required a tricky 69 runs off the final 10 overs.
