In the final of the Gillette Cup, on ABC TV, Channel Two, from the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Victoria scored 164. In reply, Western Australia had collapsed to be 7-73, at 5.10 p.m., due to some excellent bowling from Alan Hurst and Max “Tangles” Walker, yet fought back to win a ‘cliff-hanger’ by taking its score to 9-165 (Craig Serjeant 38 and Mick Malone 47 n.o.) at 6.55 p.m.
At half past seven, Ian Chappell, a former captain of Australia at cricket and now retired from the game, is this evening’s guest on “This Is Your Life”, on Channel Seven.
