Melbourne - Centenary Test 1977

At the time of the Centenary Test we were living in the area (East Melbourne) and walked down to the MCG for the after Tea session of the fourth day's play.
The Test results were usual - Australia won each by 45 runs!
Took some photos - 35 mm slides originally which I've converted to digital images. I've included four images - three from the Test and one of the First Day Cover combined with a sterling sliver proof medal.
The photo of the old MCG scoreboard shows England to be in their second innings - with Amiss and Randall at bat and O'Keeffe bowling -  but check it out for yourself.
