West Indies win by 1 run!!!!!
No more later

George

i don't know if anyone else has noticed, but australia has been involved in
the five closest test matches of all time- two tie and two 3 run decisions and
today's 1 run decision.
twice they have benefited- when they beat england by 3  runs ages and ages ago,
and when india had to settle for a tie after needing just 18 to win with 4
wickets in hand.
thrice they have suffered- when they tied the WI after needing about 20 runs
with 4 wickets in hand, when they lost to england by 3 in 83  and today when
they lost by one run.
'nuff said.

Stay cool,
