| 16.3 | A win. At last! | CHEFS::KIRKPATRICKJ | D'you want some? | Mon Feb 10 1997 08:35 | 6 |

    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.

|  | 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.
