Geoff appeared to have the Ashes wrapped up a fortnight ago, but now it
seems we have a real contest here. Any of the top four teams can win,
and there are slim chances for the others down as far as DVD although it
would take something chaotic.
Remember, only a couple of days until the last Test. Tudor and Mullally
are out for England, and Tufnell will no doubt play. No word yet about
Australia - I would have Hussey in for Slater and Fleming for Lee, but
we allknow that Malcolm Conn selects the team, right Alvey?
