00:00In this video, relive a fine bowling spell from England's David Kappel, who delivered

00:05a tidy turnover spell picking up three wickets for just 38 runs against Pakistan in the fourth

00:11match of the Sharjah Cup played on April 7, 1987.

00:15David Kappel's disciplined medium-paced bowling helped England to keep Pakistan in check,

00:20restricting them to a modest target of 217 runs.

00:24His crucial breakthrough came at just the right moments, breaking partnerships and putting

00:29the breaks on Pakistan's scoring rate.

00:32Chasing 218, England's batting line-up made light work of the target, cruising to victory

00:37with five wickets in hand.

00:39Let's roll back the clock and watch David Kappel's impactful three-wicket haul that set

00:44up a comfortable win for England in Sharjah.

00:59One for Jack Richards, and Kappel, that's his second wicket in London International, Salim going

01:08for the drive, not up to it, outside edge, and Richards did the race.

01:14So you see the goal, it's very wide, Salim never got to the pick of the goal, but there's

01:19nowhere near it.

01:21That's in the air, wonderfully caught by Fairbrother, what a lovely feeler that boy is.

01:33And that was a difficult catch because it was swirling and dipping.

01:37Yeah.

01:38Yeah.

01:39Fine catch.

01:40Really fine catch, that was.

01:45And so that's the end of Wazimakram, a bright and enterprising innings, scored ten runs,

01:49and of course threatened to score more, but England's fielding again has held up well.

01:57And so the score, there you see, slicing the stroke, very outside the Ostrom, sliced it,

02:04went up in the air, fairbrother, deep point, got the ball right into his gut, so he just

02:13strolled over forward.

02:15Well just catch.

02:23Well caught, well caught.

02:29Mansur Alahi, caught and rolled by David Kappel.

02:341.90 now for eight, and a mini collapse I think by Pakistan.

02:53They are, Kappel keeping the ball right up to the batsman.

02:57David Kappel was a determined and wholehearted all-rounder who represented England in the

03:15late 1990s and early 1990s.

03:18Hailing from Northamptonshire, he was often seen as a potential successor to Ian Botham,

03:23a comparison that brought both high expectation and immense pressure.

03:28David Kappel played 15 test matches and 23 won the international for England, showcasing

03:34glimpse of brilliance with both bat and ball.

03:37Most notably his gritty 98 runs against Pakistan in Karachi and his crucial three for 38 in

03:44an ODI against Pakistan in Sharjah.

03:46While his international career did not fully flourish, David Kappel remained a loyal servant

03:51to Northamptonshire, scoring over 12,000 first-class runs and taking more than 500 wickets.
