FINAL TEST REFLECTIONS
ENGLAND CAN STILL BEAT AUSTRALIA
Says DENNIS HART
Another Test series over and won leaves English cricket where it was six months ago. Then, Len Hutton and his team came back from Australia bringing the Ashes and some problems.
The problems remain. And so, I think, will the Ashes, when Australla comes
next year.
Were England so convincing then against South Africa? Not really. Many, indeed, feel that South Africa lost the series rather than that England won it.
This is not all the story. Both sides missed opportunities.

Middlesex Need 307 For Victory Against Springboks At Lords
London, Aug, 29.
Middlesex have a big job on hand at Lord's tomorrow if they hope to beat the South Africans who are playing the last County match of their tour.
After saving the follow on by three runs this morning, they dismissed the Springboks for 187 and were left to make, 334 to win. At the close Middlesex had scored 27 without loss--and now need 307 for victory with one day left to play.
