Big crowd predicted
NZPA Melbourne Australian Cricket Board officials predict a crowd of almost 50.000 at the first one-day international between New Zealand and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. • An A.C.B. spokesman. David Richards, said yesterday that interest in the match and subsequent tour clashes had exceeded
all official expectations. "Give us a fine day and a good end to the fifth test and 1 think we'll get 50.000 there on Sunday," Mr Richards said. “The interest is really unbelievable. Already at the other venues, tickets are quite scarce." Sunday’s match marks New Zealand's first return to the M.C.G. since the controversial underarm incident of the 1981 World Series. _
