Only M J K Smith, of Oxford University and Warwickshire, has a worse batting average. In any case, M J K was an England captain in the days when leaders enjoyed a certain leeway.The fall-out from Hick’s aberration did not end with his hangdog exit, and Ashley Giles, suddenly exposed to a pace bowler with his tail up, did not survive the over. Fending a throat ball to second slip, where a low catch by Shahid Afridi needed to be ratified by the third umpire, Giles went for a duck, the third England wicket to fall in five balls.The late strike by Pakistan totally shifted the balance of power in the match which, though never heavily in England’s favour, had begun to tilt their way.So far, through the efforts of their bowlers, as well as those of Thorpe and Salisbury, England have won six of the nine sessions played. Yet, despite that ratio, they still looked the more nervous of the two sides, a disposition that may have something to do with batting last on a crumbling pitch.Salisbury, a major disappointment in this series with the ball, could not be faulted for his application with the bat. Having come together with Thorpe on Thursday evening, he stayed with him well into the afternoon session, adding 97 invaluable runs for the fourth wicket.Speaking afterwards, Salisbury talked of the lift Nasser Hussain had given him when the England captain had informed him he was no longer a nightwatchman but England’s No 4. Indeed, he looked set for a career-best score when the off-spinner Arshad Khan induced him to give a catch off pad and glove to Yousuf Youhana at silly mid-off.With three or four men around the bat at all times, there is always the danger of giving a chance when playing off the front foot, which is why Thorpe, in contrast to most of his team-mates, chose to stay well back and play the turning ball as late as possible off the back foot.Excellent though it was, Thorpe enjoyed some good fortune when Moin Khan had scooped a brilliant catch after Saqlain Mushtaq’s top-spinner had taken the inside edge onto his pad. On 12 at the time, he was given not out by umpire Mian Aslam.Aside from that hiccup, Thorpe watched the ball closely and kept things simple, a path not chosen by his Surrey team-mate Alec Stewart.Having initially tried to use his feet to get the spinners away, Stewart then opted to mow Danish Kaneria over mid-wicket.
The ball was too full to get the necessary leverage and Stewart miscued to mid-on where Abdur took a swirling catch.Apart from a superlative spell of reverse swing with the old ball by Wasim, and Thorpe’s wicket with the new one, Pakistan were not as sharp as they might have been. Moin, denied his brilliant catch off Thorpe, dropped both Salisbury and Hick off the spinners, while Saqlain, so often the magician, contributed generously to the 30 no-balls that have so far boosted England’s score.Indeed only Wasim, in his 100th Test, looked consistently threatening as he made life uncomfortable for all who faced him. With 118 victims, the left-armer is the highest lbw-taker in the history of Test cricket.He is also currently third in the clean-bowled standings, with only Fred Trueman and Brian Statham ahead of him. With the bounce in this pitch becoming increasingly erratic, it would be foolish to discount him adding to both lists.. Ashley Giles made a timely breakthrough to end Pakistan’s afternoon onslaught at the Iqbal Stadium as the second Test headed towards a draw today.

Warwickshire’s left-arm spinner struck just two overs before tea on the fourth day to remove Saleem Elahi, who replaced Saeed Anwar at the top of the order after he was prevented from batting until five wickets down by a chest infection yesterday.Elahi hit a superb 72 off just 116 balls and dominated a 98-run partnership with Abdur Razzaq as Pakistan advanced to a 90-run lead by reaching 116 for two at the interval with only four more sessions remaining in the Test.Earlier all-rounder Craig White hit a quick 41 to establish a slim 26-run first innings lead for England.White’s 41 off 46 deliveries propelled England to 342 in reply to Pakistan’s first innings effort of 316 before lunch on the fourth day.The visitors then made a quick breakthrough in the nine overs before the interval when paceman Darren Gough removed Shahid Afridi (10) as Pakistan moved to 23 for one in its second innings.Pakistan had to shuffle its batting order after Saeed Anwar was ruled out from opening the innings because of flu. Elahi opened the innings in place of Anwar and was unbeaten on 12 while Abdur Razzaq, promoted in the batting order to number three, had no runs yet to his credit after 11 deliveries.England, resuming at the overnight 282 for eight, lost the wicket of Andrew Caddick (5) in the fourth over of the day, but White and last man Darren Gough accumulated 47 runs for the 10th wicket off just 59 deliveries.White hit two sixes and three boundaries in his fiery knock before he was bowled by off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq, who was the most successful Pakistan bowler with three wickets for 62. Gough remained undefeated on 19 off 30 deliveries.Right-arm seamer Razzaq, who had Caddick caught behind, also got three wickets for 74. Debutante 19-year-old leg-spinner Danish Kaneria had two wickets for 89, while Wasim Akram, playing in his 100th test match, and off-spinner Arshad Khan claimed one wicket each.However, Pakistan gave too many extras in England total and its bowlers bowled 31 no balls in extras tally of 49.Pakistan v England, second test, FaisalabadPakistan second innings: TeaSalim Elahi c Stewart b Giles 72 Shahid Afridi c Giles b Gough 10 Abdur Razzaq not out 22 Inzamam-ul-Haq not out 4 Extras b5 lb2 nb1 8 Total 2 wkts (38 overs) 116Fall: 1-13 2-111To Bat: Saeed Anwar, Yousuf Youhana, Moin Khan, Saqlain Mushtaq, Arshad Khan, Danish Kaneria, Wasim Akram.Bowling: Gough 6 1 21 1 Caddick 10 1 22 0 Giles 13 2 40 1 White 5 2 8 0 Salisbury 4 0 18 0.

“I thought everything would be stainless steel and sanitised and we’d all be walking around in brilliant white suits that never got dirty, and that there’d be no more disease or war.” It’s appropriate, then, that in 2003, Anderson has chosen to revive the most compromised of his utopias.Each episode of the original Captain Scarlet was prefaced by a booming threat from the disembodied voice of humanity’s arch-enemies, the Mysterons “We know that you can hear us, Earthmen We will deal another crushing blow. I think he hated me mainly because I threatened him once with litigation. I believe that if people are working together to make a movie, anybody who lets the side down needs to be stamped on. And I did a little bit of stamping.”Space: 1999 proved a watershed in Anderson’s life. During its production, his long relationship with ITC came to end, as did his slightly longer marriage to his second wife, Sylvia.
Acrimonious is too pale a term to describe the collapse of their marriage (this is another subject that I’m asked by the PRs to avoid), but the support of his fans, who first began to mobilise in the early 1980s, helped him get through it.”They are without question the most trustworthy group of people I have ever met in my life,” he affirms “Would I want to collect memorabilia? No Do I understand them? No. But if they enjoy it, who am I to question it? Like most people, I’ve had good times, and I’ve had some pretty rough times. There were a few years when I couldn’t pay my bills, spent all my time worrying, lost all my confidence And the fans were a great help. When I rang them, they never said, ‘oh, it’s Gerry on the phone, Gerry’s gone down the plughole’. They were just as respectful and friendly and encouraging as they ever were.”And they continue to be, commiserating with him whenever a cherished project – a planned feature film called Eternity, for instance – hits a brick wall.1999 has been and gone, and – like his dream of being the next Kubrick – the futures conceived by Gerry Anderson have failed to materialise There was no Moonbase Alpha The Nehru suit never caught on. Gull-wing jet-propelled cars failed to roll off the production lines. He at last got his wish to produce a series in which the stars were not hung up on hooks at the end of a day’s filming.
He put Ed Bishop and Gabrielle Drake into battle against a covert alien invasion in UFO. He blasted Martin Landau and the staff of Moonbase Alpha into the void for the optimistically-titled Space: 1999. He imported Robert Vaughn, star of The Man From Uncle, for The Protectors – although this experience made him feel nostalgic for co-operative leading men such as Scott Tracy “Robert Vaughn hated me I didn’t like him too much either. They sat down in his office, drank coffee from little silver cups, and broke out the Havana cigars. Grade leaned back in his chair and asked Anderson to sock him with his new idea: Anderson warned him that it was going to prove so costly that he wasn’t sure whether Grade would want to risk backing it.”You have to believe me,” says Anderson, “but he got up from his desk, came round the table and grabbed me by the scruff of the neck I thought he was going to hit me I was really quite scared. He pulled me out of the chair into the centre of the office, and he said, ‘You see that light bulb? If you want to make a television series about that light bulb, I’ll back it.’ So we sat down and I told him about International Rescue, and at the end of 20 minutes he told me to go off and start work.”Under Grade’s stewardship, Anderson enjoyed his most consistently productive period.
The name of the American airstrip where he completed his basic training – Thunderbird Field – stuck in his younger brother’s mind.Anderson’s film career began at the Colonial Film Unit, where, as a teenager, he trained under George Pearson, an eminent director of silent British films who, by the 1930s, had slipped into obscurity. In 1957, he set up his own production company at Islet Park, an Edwardian mansion on the banks of the Thames at Maidenhead, and found himself in charge of Twizzle. The success of this programmes led Anderson to Torchy the Battery Boy – a luminous schoolboy who lived in a town formed entirely from carved fruit – and Four Feather Falls, a comic Western performed by marionettes and voiced by Nicholas Parsons.Supercar, Fireball XL5 and Stingray were the first productions to take on the recognisable characteristics of a Gerry Anderson series – elaborate special effects, futuristic vehicles, a cast of characters working within some kind of hi-tech troubleshooting agency. “I was doing puppet shows,” he explains, “but I wanted to make decent feature films. So what did I do? I tried to make the puppets look and behave like actors. And then in order to enhance that I introduced special effects So without realising it, I was creating something new. And whether you think they were good or bad, there was nothing else like them on television anywhere in the world.”He can still remember the 7.30am meeting at which he pitched Thunderbirds to Lew Grade, the head of ATV and its international distribution arm, ITC.

And it took damn near three years just to get the remake rights from them. Anderson sold the rights to his shows in the 1970s, and the negotiations to secure permission to remake the programme have been tortuous and protracted “I found the people at Carlton difficult to deal with. Except they couldn’t walk, couldn’t pick things up, their movements were jerky, their faces expressionless.”Now, the strings have been snipped. I’m sorry to be so excited about it, but I’m bloody delighted.”The original Captain Scarlet was the first Anderson series in which the plastic players possessed correct human proportions.
The solenoids and other electronic gubbins that he was forced to squeeze into the skulls of his previous creations gave them all – from Troy Tempest to Mike Mercury – a peculiarly top-heavy appearance. When Captain Scarlet returns to our screens in a new £20m series, he will be 100 per cent computer-generated, and endowed with a whole arsenal of special powers: the ability to wiggle his fingers, raise his eyebrows, and get up from a chair without becoming tangled in wire.It has been a long struggle. Mention a creation from one of his shows – Zoony the Lazoon, perhaps, or Torchy the Battery Boy – and he’s more likely to cringe than flush with pride So, when he says his new one is a lulu, he means it. “Imagine you’re watching the original series, with the puppets walking around.” (He waggles his elbows for emphasis, and gurgles like Bill and Ben.) “And if you touch the screen with a magic wand, suddenly they all come to life It’s a dream come true.

Quite apart from the electoral unwisdom of condemning a programme watched by 13 million voters three times a week as a return to the money-worship of “yuppyism”, Mr Blunkett should have chosen to phone a friend or to ask the audience.
New Labour ought to endorse a show that so directly links esoteric knowledge to financial reward. Indeed, the programme could have been designed to explicate the Third Way thesis that brainpower is the key resource in the new global economy. How fitting it is that knowing about Eleanor of Aquitaine should be worth £1m. This is dumbing up with a financial vengeance.If Mr Blunkett wants to criticise a game on the grounds that it allows you to get something for nothing, and is concerned only with money, he need look no further than the National Lottery. But then that is a government-run scam, not a brilliant entrepreneurial idea dreamt up and produced in the private sector.. There are two ways of looking at the tragedy of the murder of Damilola Taylor as he made his way home after school on Monday.
Was it, as the media circus has described, a brutal murder in the hell hole of the worst estate in Europe? Or was it an avoidable tragedy that occurred in a community that some time ago began to emerge from an inner city spiral of neglect and has bright hopes for the future?
There are two ways of looking at the tragedy of the murder of Damilola Taylor as he made his way home after school on Monday. Was it, as the media circus has described, a brutal murder in the hell hole of the worst estate in Europe? Or was it an avoidable tragedy that occurred in a community that some time ago began to emerge from an inner city spiral of neglect and has bright hopes for the future?
It’s worth remembering that the murder happened minutes after Damilola had left his after-school computer class in the locality’s spanking new multi-million-pound library, which is down the road from one of the top art schools in the country – Camberwell School of Art.Everyone rightly reeled in horror at the awfulness of this grim murder, and our streets are now teeming with never-before-seen crowds of columnists, journalists and outside broadcasting units, bristling with satellite dishes, each looking for more Dickensian images to contextualise their stories. There is saturation media coverage of both how awful these estates are and how lucky we are not to live in them or have our children in such schools.The North Peckham estate is not a community in the connected sense of the word, but a socially deprived world. For many, this tragic murder has come just when they were beginning to feel some pride and stability and sense of improvement, not just about the brash new library and architecture prizes that have tweaked the interest of the metropolitan media, but about well-designed, attractive new houses, redesigned streets, new sports facilities. Above all, there is a budding confidence for the future prospects of this fledgling multicultural community.As a person responsible for some of the local drug treatment services and also involved in research into drug problems in inner-city areas, I have lived in a quiet street not 10 minutes from the scene of the murder for the past 10 years.
It is undoubtedly a tough neighbourhood, but my home has never been burgled and there is no need for security bars on the windows and doors. Nor have I ever been mugged or assaulted while walking the streets of Peckham.Ten years ago my research group went door to door on that estate to assess the scale of the area’s massive drug epidemic. What we encountered was a no-go areas where fear prevailed, and where grim flats were drug-infested and all but abandoned by the local authority.The services that we all take for granted – postmen, milkmen, policemen, health-visitors, doctors – refused to work on the estate. Our survey found a significant proportion of the local people were injecting and smoking heroin, and virtually everyone we met on the estate wanted to move elsewhere.I remember standing in the middle of the estate on a cold November evening and feeling shocked that this deprived community, living no more than 20 minutes from Whitehall, had been forgotten by central and local government.

Unless you have a mandatorydeliverable or immovable deadline, your first day back in the office can bequite productive if you use your time wisely.” Buntinsuggests the following tips for making your first day back from vacationproductive and stress free:* Get a Head Start – go through your email inbox the day before you return tothe office. After deleting the junk mail, scan for emails addressed to you fromyour boss and clients, assigning priority for follow-up upon your return to theoffice. This will create a more focused environment once you arrive to work thenext morning. * Ask for a Status Update – if you work on a team or have staff that reportsinto you, ask someone to send you an email updating you on your projects.
Bydoing this before you get into the office, you`ll have a head-start on yourfirst-day priorities. * Be an Early Bird – arrive before normal office hours to ensure you get somequiet time to prioritize your to-do list and review and return voicemailmessages. Once co-workers begin arriving, chances are you`re more likely toengage in conversation and be met with distractions. * Take Your Boss To Lunch – taking your boss to lunch on your first day backgives you time to catch up on projects and discuss important matters in aone-on-one atmosphere.

Even so, the year 2000 is not the beginning of the new millennium. If Dionysius had got his sums right, we should have celebrated the new millennium in what we still call 1996 or 1997.
But, let us allow, for the sake of argument, that this is indeed the 1,999th year since the birth of Christ. Sir: I’ve had enough! I just cannot stand it any more! My time as a member of the silent minority is over.

Sir: The potential problems faced by the gay parents Barrie Drewitt and Tony Barlow arise from a socially and scientifically outmoded section of the British Nationality Act 1981 (“Gay parents fight to win UK citizenship for twins”, 13 December). While the Act states that “a person born outside the United Kingdom … shall be a British citizen if at the time of the birth his father or mother … is a British citizen,” the Act goes on to define “mother” and “father” as including the mother of an illegitimate child but not the father.
This approach derives from the approach taken in a parallel context by Lord Denning in the 1955 Court of Appeal decision of In re M (an infant), where Lord Denning explained: “The reason is that the law of England has from time immemorial looked upon a bastard as the child of nobody, that is to say, as the child of no known body except its mother.”Sir Roger Ormrod in the 1982 decision of R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, ex p Crew recognised that, sociologically, times had moved on and there was “a strong movement to eliminate so far as possible the difference between illegitimate children and legitimate children.” He, instead, put forward a “scientific” explanation, citing “the inescapable fact …

And to impress me, they e-mailed me the picture of the new ‘Rolls-Royce’.” He handles the word gingerly. As BMW Rolls-Royce refused permission for its car to be used, Working Title was obliged to trade in FAB 1, Lady Penelope’s famous pink roller, for a substitute runabout supplied by the Ford Motor Company.Anderson was appalled by the image on his computer screen. The film’s director, Star Trek alumnus Jonathan Frakes, and its star Bill Paxton, made apologetic noises. And the people at Working Title resumed their overtures.”I guess that they began to realise that this was going to be very sticky for them,” Anderson muses “So they offered me money to say how nice the picture was. According to Anderson, when he sat down at the table, Bevan announced that he had another commitment and left his guest to talk with two colleagues.
“I should have walked out there and then,” Anderson reflects “But I didn’t want to be rude. And then, about three days later, I got a very short letter from Tim telling me that they had enough creative people on board and that they couldn’t offer me anything. And I thought, right, that’s the biggest insult I’ve ever had in my life I didn’t read the script. I just cut myself off from the whole thing.”That was easier said than done, when the film began shooting at Pinewood Studios, where Anderson’s production company is also based. While Anderson and colleagues mulled over ideas for their big new project – a CGI remake of Captain Scarlet – Pinewood staff trolled past his windows lugging Tracy Island palm trees. In the early stages of the movie’s pre-production, a dinner meeting was arranged between Anderson and Tim Bevan, co-founder and co-chairman of Working Title. Even the boys from International Rescue couldn’t douse the flames of their mutual hostility.It began with umbrage over the bread rolls.
Now, the relationship between the inventor of Thunderbirds and its new custodians has deteriorated beyond remedy. I’m not involved with it.” Got that?When I last spoke to Anderson, he believed himself to be on the point of being engaged by Working Title as a creative consultant on the movie Unfortunately, things didn’t quite work out that way. “It is no exaggeration to say,” he announces, with Sisyphean weariness, “that wherever I go, every day of the week, people are saying to me, ‘How’s the Thunderbirds film going, Gerry?’, and I have to say that I’m not involved with it. Thunderbirds are go, don’t you know. Blasting out all over the big screen in a £46m movie co-produced by the British outfit Working Title and the US giant Universal.

Long-standing fans had complained that with Stories From The City, Harvey had become too slick, but last night songs such as “Shame” and “Pocket Knife” take us back to the old Polly where blues collided violently with minimalist punk.Harvey is a magnificent presence, like Patti Smith at her feral best. As tonight’s show attests, over a decade into her career she is on unbeatably fine form.Much of the set draws on Uh Huh Her, her sixth full-length album. Now the frailty that characterised Harvey’s early years are but a distant memory; in her thirties, she seems firmly in the driving seat of her career. Tonight the cries of “We love you Polly” are almost as fevered as the cries of “turn it up” (the Somerset House setting may be magnificent but the acoustics really aren’t up to much).Harvey’s body language suggests a woman finally at ease with herself and those who so fiercely idolise her.

Neil Wyatt, chief executive of the Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country, says: “Wildlife has shown itself in recent years to be more dynamic and flexible than we gave it credit for.” Time, perhaps, for human beings to follow suit.THE CITY MENAGERIEFoxesHow many? 33,000 urban foxes in 1995. From Scotland to the south coast there have been reports of attacks on passers-by, and Nigel Firth of Balcombe Pest Control, which operates in the south-east, said that pigeon numbers are up by 100 per cent in the last few years, with a rise in complaints to match.In the near future, even more of us are likely to find ourselves sharing our space with wildlife. Cities in the south-west, such as Gloucester and Bath, have significant problems with nesting urban gulls. He is now trying to set up a British Wildlife Deterrence Association.The biggest urban trouble- makers are gulls, principally the herring and lesser black-backed, and feral pigeons.
Most of his clients are private individuals, but he has also had calls from the Law Society in central London, schools and hospitals. Even animal lovers recognise the problem, and one, John Bryant, a former RSPCA vice-chairman, runs a firm that humanely deters foxes, rats and mice. There are also, in Scotland and London especially, claims of rabbits and cats being killed, and even, in north London, of a child being attacked.Foxes now face a proprietary repellent, Renardine, companies that specialise in dispersing them and calls, as in Edinburgh last month, for the local council to organise a cull. One fan regularly buys goldfish from her pet shop to supply “her” otters with their daily catch.Otters are still seen as a picturesque and welcome novelty, and although councils do get requests to remove bats, badgers and squirrels, most complaints are about foxes which dig up and foul lawns, bite through cables and rip open rubbish bags. They can be seen on the Tyne in the centre of Newcastle, and, says the Northumberland Wildlife Trust’s Kevin O’Hara, are increasingly sighted in suburban gardens, living for days under sheds and feeding on fish from garden ponds. Deer are in Cambridge and Sheffield, and red deer have been seen near Walsall in the Black Country.Cleaner rivers and reduced use of pesticides mean there are now otters in more than 100 towns and cities, including London. Muntjac, small tusked deer about the size of a small Labrador, have spread over many parts of the country, penetrating the London borough of Haringey, turning up in garden sheds and standing outside the theatre in Northampton.
Hares have been spotted in Glasgow, deer populations are up and roe live on the edge of cities, regularly forage in outer suburbs and even take up residence there, as in Gosforth, near Newcastle. Britain is now polarised between those who want to cull or repel and those who defend even pigeons and gulls against any form of restriction, say pest control experts. Scarborough Council had to stop culling gulls partly because of a public campaign, and environmental health officers have even expressed concern that attempts to control “pests” might fall foul of militant animal rights activists.This picture, of a nation increasingly divided over sharing its space with wildlife, was the main finding of our survey of conservation groups, local authorities and pest control experts. The starting point was the arrival in urban areas of many species formerly confined to the deepest countryside. Roe deer eat flowers in a Southampton garden …
These are just a few cases from Britain’s urban jungle as booming human and wildlife populations get increasingly in each other’s way. Greater numbers of animals have moved into cleaner, more wildlife-friendly cities, housing development has spread into the countryside and the result is a steadily rising tide of complaints.Yet, for every objector, there is someone who defends and encourages what others regard as most anti-social species.
And that, according to Rusedski’s furious calculations, cost him the tie and possibly the tournament.After losing the first set and saving two set points at 3-5 down in the second, Rusedski finally had a break point and was jubilant after a Henman volley seemed to land long. But the ball was not called out, and Egli remained unmoved as a fuming Rusedski flung down his racket and marched towards the net.
The television replays showed the ball apparently grazing the back of the baseline, but the incident was the turning-point of the all-British encounter here at Melbourne Park. Henman, who produced one of his best performances outside Wimbledon, won the set and – after a brief comeback by Rusedski – wrapped up the match 6-4, 6-3, 1-6, 6-3.Rusedski made no secret of his despair at being knocked out of the draw, which presented no heavyweight opponents en route to the final a week tomorrow “I felt this was my tournament,” he said “That’s why this is so extremely difficult to take Looking at the draw, I thought I’m going to go all the way I didn’t have a question. I felt really confident, the best I’ve felt in years.” Henman, who plays Sweden’s Jonas Bjorkman in the fourth round tomorrow, was more cautious about his chances, despite being – at No 6 – the top surviving seed. “I’ve never been past the fourth round in this tournament, so for me to start looking at next Sunday is a million miles away,” he said.An air of fevered anticipation – at home, if not in Australia – had surrounded the first Grand Slam meeting between the British pair, and they responded by putting on a show of brilliant tennis.
Henman had the edge overall, but Rusedski, fired up by the second set controversy, was fearsome in the third and looked as though he might bulldoze his way to victory.The night match, played before a record crowd of nearly 15,000 in the Rod Laver Arena, was followed with polite interest by Australian spectators, who have no domestic players left in the men’s competition.More noise was made by a small group of British fans with Union flags painted on their faces, although there was considerable confusion on the issue of where to direct their support. Some solved the problem by cheering each winning point and groaning theatrically at every mistake. “Go Tim and Greg!” shouted one non-partisan fan.The match began under blue skies that gave way to pink as Rusedski fired his first ace at 127mph. Half an hour later, at 5-4 up, Henman had two set points against his opponent’s serve at 15-40. As Rusedski prepared to serve, play was delayed by an errant gull that flew into the stadium and executed a dozen laps before finally departing to loud applause.The Canadian-born Rusedski, the British No 2, may have been distracted by the interruption; when play resumed, he sent a backhand wide. In the second set, he saved a succession of break points after his serve was broken in the second game.
Then came the infamous Henman volley, with Egli’s silence earning him a torrent of invective between sets.”You should be embarrassed with yourself,” Rusedski raged at the umpire “That’s disgusting How could you miss that call? It was that far long. What are you looking at? Are you watching a different match?” The outburst appeared to have a cathartic effect, for the momentum changed dramatically in the third set. With a new purpose in his step, Rusedski went on the offensive. Winners flowed from his racket as he took command of the match, muttering to himself and hitting the ball as if it was Egli’s head.The crowd, who had booed the umpire earlier, was firmly behind him as he slaughtered the set in 29 minutes But Henman, the British No 1, was in no mood to concede. He broke serve early in the fourth set thanks to two exquisite lobs and terminated the match with a high backhand volley after an agonisingly long final game in which he faced three break points.It had not been an easy match to play, he said, given that he and Rusedski were compatriots and “a lot of rubbish” had been written about their relationship. “I feel that’s firmly been put behind us and it showed in our attitude on the court,” he said. “We both went out there and we fought as hard as we could and, fortunately for me, it went my way.” Henman added: “I’m really pleased with the way I played and I’m happy with the way things are going, but it’s going to get tougher and tougher.

For years, digital technology has been steamrolling through the music bus-iness. With the recent popularity of recordable media (such as writable CDs and now writable DVDs), you’d be forgiven for thinking that the only people who use anything analogue these days are ageing vinylphiles whose voices are becoming as scratchy as the records they champion, or DJs for whom scratching is de rigueur.There is one area where analogue still rules, even though a digital alternative has been available for more than five years: radio. But its proselytisers say that digital radio – or DAB (digital audio broadcasting), as it is also known – really can be a mass medium. And, at long last, they just might be right.
Why isn’t DAB here already? First, because you need a new radio to receive it – no set-top boxes here. (And, often, you need a computer to play the sound.) Second, the sound quality is comparable to a mini-disc player. Third, until now the DAB chips have been expensive, and consumed a lot of power. But there’s an interesting plus: the signal also carries a data-stream that can broadcast around 200 kilobits per second, four times faster than a home modem.Interestingly for an audio medium, sound quality will have perhaps the least influence on DAB’s fate.
