  • Ian Salisbury (England 1992 to 2001) Ian Salisbury Was a Prolific Wicket
    Ian Salisbury (England 1992 to 2001) Ian Salisbury was a prolific wicket-taker in county cricket but struggled in his day job in Tests, taking only 20 wickets at large expense. Wisden claimed the leg-spinner’s googly could be picked because of a higher arm action, which negated the threat he posed. Keith Medlycott, his Surrey coach, felt Salisbury was under-bowled and had his confidence diminished by frequent criticism from people who had little understanding of a leggie’s travails. Yet Ian was a willing performer and an excellent tourist. Salisbury’s Test career was a stop-start affair. Over more than eight years, he played in only 15 Tests. Despite these disappointments Salisbury’s determination was never in doubt. Several times as well, he showed more backbone than his supposedly superior English spin colleagues; most notably in India in early 1993. Ian Salisbury also proved to be an excellent nightwatchman, invariably making useful contributions. His Test innings as nightwatchman are shown below.

    Aux/A: Toutes les FMNs et CONUs ; Membres CCR (pour info) ; Infront Motor Sports (pour info) Mies, le 7 février 2012 C/003/2012 CCR/Dup Licence et assurance-accident pour coureurs Championnats du Monde FIM de Superbike & de Supersport 2012 & Coupe FIM Superstock 1000cc Mesdames, Messieurs, Vous avez reçu récemment la liste provisoire des coureurs engagés à participer aux Championnats du Monde FIM Superbike & Supersport en 2012. Nous vous rappelons que lors de la première épreuve du Championnat ou de la Coupe FIM , tous les coureurs devront assister aux briefings obligatoires conformément aux art.1.11.7 et 1.11.8 des Règlements 2012 des Championnats du Monde FIM Superbike & Supersport et de la Coupe FIM Superstock. Lors de ce briefing, les coureurs et passagers devront présenter leur licence FIM appropriée délivrée par leur Fédération Nationale. Nous considérons que l’émission de cette licence Championnat du Monde FIM Superbike ou Supersport ou Coupe FIM Superstock, par une FMN, atteste : que le coureur concerné est couvert contre les accidents personnels grâce à une police d’assurance répondant aux exigences minima spécifiées par la FIM (art. 1.11.2) ; que le coureur est autorisé par sa fédération à prendre part à ce Championnat. Pour information, les couvertures obligatoires minimales d’assurance pour les coureurs titulaires d’une licence FIM sont les suivantes : - En cas d’invalidité permanente €uros 50'000.- - En cas de décès €uros 25'000.- - Pour traitement médical €uros 10'000.- - Rapatriement €uros 4'000.- Nous vous informons que le coureur qui ne pourra présenter sa licence (et qui ne pourra donc établir sa couverture d’assurance et son autorisation de participer) ne prendra pas part à l’épreuve.
