The First Battles With Iverson's Googlies Were The Most Enjoyable

1

Says LEN HUTTON

London.

It's wonderful to be back! Win or lose, the greatest moment of any MCC tour in when the player sets foot in England again and sees his family and friends waiting for him.

Despite the fact that we have just lost another rubber against the Austra- lians and with a bit of luck we might easily have won-none of the touring side will ever forget the warmth and kindness of Australians everywhere we went.

And I include ALL Australians, because the spirit of hospitality in the little mam who told you the way to the cricket ground was the same as in the owner of a mansion who entertained lavishly.
