ABV2 1977 TV Cricket

[juliegrimshaw2009art]

I was just eight years old when my late untie, had this on tv in black and white.

The good old days.

It is ironic that also future stars of Ashes games were there, plus feuds started that still go on to this very day.

No bombings,walkoffs,matchfixing or silly logos on the ground

[DKLillee355]

Lillee carried our bowling attack without him the poms probably would of won.

He says about Mcosker - that was a most unlucky dismissal. What an understatement!!!! No helmets in those days hey?

[brookbyhill]

boycott's comments that Greig sent Aus into bat reflected a lack of confidence in Eng batting - what a tosser. As it turned out, they bowled Aus out for 138. comments were both out of order and showed poor judgment. This guy could have played for England here if not for a self-imposed exile (sulk).

[dunkiep]

Typical boycott shooting from the hip - calls it how he sees it (although there is a lot of bitterness in his sulky comments!)

By the way, that lbw so obviously pitched outside leg!

Wonder if there'll be a BiCenteary Test in 2077

[IanGorton]

Wonder if Late Night Legends on ABC2 showed this game

As someone who's not really familiar with cricket, it looks like a Peter Davison Doctor Who convention!

[IanGorton]

Well his Dr Who had that cricketer motif

[damo3805]

Quick glimpse of Ian Chappell in the lime green safari suit at 0.12. Disco Stud!

[IanGorton]

Yeah well disco was at it peak at that time and during World Series Cricket. Alot of the Aussie player had that 70s porn star look

[ludocrat]

The opener (Davis) was bloody unlucky with that decision! And I agree - rare, vintage stuff. I've read about it often - got pictures, but I've never actually seen it. Fantastic!

Awesome vid!
