	www.smh.com.au - Baiting game that went awry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		England's captain, Ray Illingworth, assessed the situation at a glance and, considering the safety of his players, led his team from the field.
		Illingworth was a cagey, durable off-spinning Yorkshire all-rounder, never a player in the same Test class as Inzamam but a marvellous captain, one to rank with Michael Brearley and, dare it be said, a leader possessing a similar steel-plated, scheming mentality to Douglas Jardine.
		They warned Illingworth that if he did not return to the field when the SCG was fit for a resumption they would consider it a refusal to play and award the Test match to Australia.

	Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Ray Illingworth
		Ray Illingworth's glittering reputation as a cricket strategist was unfortunately compromised by his three-year stint as chairman of selectors, which came when he had nothing to gain in public esteem.
		Illingworth's greatest gift as captain lay in creating the illusion that he had 14 or 15 players on the field: so expertly did he block a batsman's favourable scoring strokes that when the opposition were in trouble it must frequently have seemed that there were no runs on offer anywhere.
		In that, Illingworth was much helped by the accuracy of his own offspin - a miserly 1.91 runs per over in his 61 Tests.

	"Fletcher Is Too Cautious And Protective" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Former England captain Ray Illingworth believes standards were higher in his day and that current England coach Duncan Fletcher needs to work his players harder.
		Illingworth’s main bone of contention with Fletcher is that he made his bowlers rest between the NatWest Series final and the first Test against South Africa.
		Illingworth did not restrict himself to the woes of the central contract system.

	Illingworth keen to put record straight Independent, The (London) - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Illingworth, who is not the sort of bloke who goes in for coded messages when something a bit plainer would get the message across, said: "The suggestion that Michael had a team foisted upon him is, frankly, a load of crap.
		Illingworth actually agrees with Atherton that good young players are better than good old ones, but said: "At the end of the day, you don't pick someone merely because he is 20 years old.
		Illingworth denies this, although neither does he claim to have gone into bat for Fletcher at the sacking meeting.

	Illingworth says England must say goodbye to Thorpe
		LONDON: Former captain and chairman of selectors Ray Illingworth says it is time for England to forget about picking Graham Thorpe after the Surrey batsman pulled out of the forthcoming Ashes tour to Australia." It is a great shame because he (Thorpe) is a fine player," Illingworth, 70, told newspaper on Wednesday.
		But the 33-year-old left-hander, who has scored 5,109 runs in 77 Tests at an average of 41.87, informed the England management on Monday that he would not be available for the tour, saying he did not feel in the right frame of mind.
		Illingworth said: "You cannot have players around who are moping and worrying about problems at home, so it's best Graham is not going if that is the case.

		Clearly the University was not aware of Illingworth’s other ‘accomplishments’ and we therefore call on the University to withdraw, forthwith, their award.
		The staff members repeated their suggestion that the award be withdrawn, but it was their opinion that the university was committed and that it was impossible to change its plans.
		Illingworth himself made a relatively short acceptance speech, which included a sexist joke about women not understanding sporting terminology (Leslie Wagner appeared to shift uncomfortably on stage and did not laugh).

		Illingworth concedes that India had a huge advantage in leg-spinner Bhagwat Chandrashekhar.

		England captain Michael Vaughan insisted on Wednesday that he had enough steel to do the job after former skipper Ray Illingworth accused him of "captaincy by committee" during the team's crushing innings and 92 run second Test defeat against South Africa at Lord's.
		Lord's was Vaughan's first Test as captain following Nasser Hussain's resignation, and the Yorkshire strokeplayer found his relaxed style of leadership, much praised during England's victorious one-day series, under scrutiny.
		Defeat at Lord's left England 1-0 down in the five-match series and prompted Yorkshireman Illingworth, who led the team to Ashes victory in Australia in 1970-71, to question Vaughan's leadership skills.
