On this day: August 20 1953: A rare old day for England
2008
Overview
Had the gentlest wind of chance blown Australia's way the finish would have unsettled the nerves and, possibly, unseated judgment. W. A. Johnston, Australia's only spin bowler, missed taking important wickets by inches, for several mis-hits from him eluded a field which on the whole, appeared as omnipresent as avid and brilliantly safe. One lesson of the rubber should already find the Australian at least receptive. So long as wickets are covered in Australia so long will England win matches against Australia in this country whenever rain and sun or wearing turf call for batsmen experienced against spin. It was England's turn, as they say, and every cricketer will be mightily pleased that all's well that end's well for Hutton's sake.
