16.3A win. At last!CHEFS::KIRKPATRICKJD'you want some?Mon Feb 10 1997 08:356
    
    England won the 2nd test by an innings and 68 runs. Thorpe was MOTM for
    his 108 but Gough was perhaps more deserving as he took nine wickets.

16.4One swallow doesn't make next summer ...WOTVAX::MILESPPeter MilesThu Feb 13 1997 13:289
Nice to see a win but so we should against a plucky but weak test side. 

It would be a real pity if the short term euphoria means that fundamental 
reforms are ignored. Can't see the counties allowing the necessary changes 
to happen though.

The Ashes next summer will be a different proposition to NZ and I do now feel 
the time has come for Atherton to step aside and another captain take over.

    Re. Another captain - who, though?
    
    
    I quite agree about the fundamental changes - this has been a
    particular bug-bear of mine for some time. Every test victory (about
    one in eight) is referred to as "a turning point" and treated as an
    excuse to do nothing.
