To-day the English look pretty much assured of a major victory (upset) against the Australians in the last test at the Oval. It may already be over as I am typing this. Furthermore, the Australians do not return for a test series for the Ashes to England until 1990. The actual destruction wioll taken place on the Thursday following the Test at noon BST, 7AM on the East Coast (I will be driving to work, my car stereo ought to be fixed by then, so I should hear the notice clearly!). So long folks, it looks like this is it. PS A sofa did appear and disappear to-day at the Oval, interrupting play. I guess NJN won't be showing Hartnell, Troughton, & Colin Baker after all. - -- James C.
