John James Whitaker (born 5 May 1962)[1] is an English former cricketer, who played in one Test and two ODIs for England in 1986–7.

Life and career

Whitaker was educated at Uppingham School and spent his whole career with Leicestershire County Cricket Club, and captained them from 1996 until he retired in 1999. In 1986, Whitaker was the leading English batsman in the national batting averages with 1,526 runs at 66 apiece,[1] and was named one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year for 1987.[2] He was selected to go on the 1986-87 Ashes tour. He started the tour well, scoring a hundred against South Australia in a tour match,[3] and played one Test in Adelaide when Ian Botham was out injured.[4] However, his form fell away sharply.[1] Whitaker also played two one-day internationals in 1987 for the England side which won the Sharjah Cup.

Whitaker was one of his county's most successful first-class captains, leading Leicestershire to their second County Championship in 1996, scoring 1046 runs at 58.11 that season,[5] and also making his highest first-class score, 218, that year, in a match against Yorkshire.[6] Whitaker also started the 1998 season, when Leicestershire also emerged as county champions, as captain, although he played little that season due to injury, the team being led on the field by Chris Lewis and Phil Simmons.

He later became the coach and director of cricket at the club, before leaving in 2005. On 18 January 2008, Geoff Miller took over from David Graveney as the national selector, heading up a four-man panel which included Peter Moores, Whitaker and Ashley Giles.[7] He was England's chairman of selectors from 2013 to 2018.

Fireboats of New York City

For much of the late 19th and early 20th century, New York City maintained a fleet of ten fireboats. In recent decades technology has improved to where smaller boats can provide the pumping capacity that required a large boat in the past.[1] These smaller boats require smaller crews, and the crews themselves require less training. Like many other cities the FDNY operates a fleet with a smaller number of large fireboats, supplemented by a number of unnamed boats in the 10 meter range.&...
