What an innings by Eddie Hemmings

[@simonboland]

David Gower was such an elegant batsman. He had so much time to play the ball. He was strongest link in the England side in that series. Without him Australia probably would have won 3-1. Alan Lamb was pretty good too.

This match begins on Sunday 2nd January 1983.

I thought channel 9 did Australian test match coverage only didn't know ABC covered it as well ?

[@Sportscaster91]

Because Nine wasn't able to reach the whole country, mainly in the country areas, the ABC was allowed to broadcast to that market.

[@andrewruss2764]

The ABC broadcast cricket in regional Australia until 1991/92 when aggregation came to regional Australia

@@Sportscaster91 Do you have any idea why the first test match of this series doesn't seem to be available anywhere as highlights? Very strange.

Keith Miller, legendary cricketer, hilariously bad commentator

[@jonrichardson8461]

Where was he so bad on this ?

[@chalkandcheese1868]

@@jonrichardson8461 Believe me I grew up in the country where we only got the ABC coverage, and he was terrible. He gave no insight into the game and half the time he was mumbling about something else pissed off his rocker, it was quite funny

[@jandekker6008]

45.00-ish: 'The Englishmen always appeal. They get a lot of these decisions back home.' What sort of weird comment is that for a big-standard LBW shout? Don't you always go up for LBs, even bowling right arm over at left handers?

Cheating Australian umpires as ever

[@jonrichardson8461]

You mean when they gave Chappell lbw to a ball going over the stumps?😉 and the other Aussies getting out lbw and the no ball on the catch at mid-wicket? 🤔
