Tim May
FameRank: 6

"Timothy Brian Alexander "Tim" May" is a former cricketer for South Australian Redbacks/South Australia and Australia national cricket team/Australia, who was, until June 2013, a leading players' representative in his role as Chief Executive of the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations (FICA). May played in 24 Test cricket/Tests and 47 One Day International/ODIs in an injury-interrupted career between 1987 and 1995.

An off-spin Bowler (cricket)/bowler, May propelled the ball from a high action with considerable accuracy, a skill that made him Australia's first-choice bowler in One Day Internationals prior to the ascent of Shane Warne. May was also a prodigious spinner of the ball and could be devastating on turning wickets. During the 1993 Ashes series in England, May often bowled in tandem with Warne and they captured 55 wickets between them. His best bowling in Tests was 5/9 in 1992–93 against the West Indian cricket team/West Indies in the fourth Test at the Adelaide Oval.

May was also a handy batsman good enough to score a first-class century. He recorded his best Test score (42 not out) in the Adelaide Oval match mentioned above, almost seeing Australia through to an unlikely victory against the rampant West Indies pace attack.

The MCC maintain that the epoxy that is used as adhesive to glue the covering to the wood of the blade, produces some molecular reaction, whereby the carbon graphite can be considered as part of the blade. The fact that 60 per cent of bats with manufactured coverings use such epoxy does not seem to have been a consideration.

Most people would have thought that, given the length of time that international players have been using the bat in Tests, the bat was legal.

We definitely still have confidence to play well. I think if we could pull out a win [against Rider], it would be pretty crucial to ... getting some momentum going into the games against Princeton.
