FED:Aust banks well placed to manage turmoil
in
Laker, Jim
2012
\"Our assessment is the Australian banking system remains well placed to deal with this latest period of economic turbulence, which may run for some time,\" Dr [Jim Laker] told a senate estimates hearing in Canberra on Tuesday. \"Despite their limited direct exposure to Europe, the market turmoil that would accompany any break up of the euro area or an European sovereign or banking default would undoubtedly impact on the larger Australian banks due to the reliance on global funding markets,\" he said.

Cricket: Swann adds a sour note to England's sweet victory: Spinner takes five more wickets but cheapens feat: Verbally abuses home side's maiden centurion

Laker, Jim
2010
Graeme Swann became the first England off-spinner to take 10 wickets in a Test since Jim Laker routed Australia at Old Trafford in 1956, but his latest achievement in an outstanding year was laced with controversy because of a gratuitous outburst against the Bangladesh batsman Junaid Siddique as the bowler finally swung the first Test in England's favour. Bangladesh's right to Test status has been questioned, but the discipline of Siddique and Mushfiqur was a persuasive retort. The former's technique is not easy on the eye but their coach, Jamie Siddons, recognises him as a battler. Mushfiqur's keeping is lacking, but as a wicketkeeper-batsman he is a diamond. He fell for 95 when Swann deceived him in the flight, tempting him down the pitch for virtually the first time in search of a straight six to bring up his own hundred.

Britain's most famous \"company doctor\" David - now Lord - James remembers the day well. Quite apart from [Jim Laker]'s still unbeaten feat, it was the first day of Lord James' long career in the City. He's also got plenty to say on Gordon Brown's handling of the current crisis, particularly the nationalisation of Northern Rock. \"It is not the place of the Government to become the new Hanson of the 21st century by creating mini-conglomerates arising out of the leavings of a recession and that's what they are going to end up doing,\" he says. \"The victims of recession today are the manufacturers we rely on in China because we've exported part of the problem. You won't get a recession this time around where millions will be laid off. High streets will collapse, but it won't be to the detriment of the British manufacturer,\" he says.

THE ARCHIVE JIM LAKER CRICKET'S MASTER OF SPIN
by
Gillon, Doug
in
Laker, Jim
2008
A right arm off-spinner, [JIM LAKER] took nine for 37 in the first innings (Surrey spin colleague Tony Locke took the other) and all 10 in the second. It was the first time any bowler had taken all 10 in a Test innings, and only Anil Kumble of India has matched that since. No other bowler has taken more than 17wickets in a first-class match. When Laker died of septicaemia, aged 64, in 1986, John Arlot, doyen of cricket commentators, stated in an obituary that he was: \"the finest off-spinner the game has ever known\". Though the Test highlights were being shown, nobody recognised Laker. Indeed, when he got home, his Australian wife demonstrated the extent of her interest in cricket when she asked: \"Jim, did you do something good today?\" She had taken hundreds of congratulatory phone calls. The media said Australia had been \"Lakered\".
