Why the hell does this have so many dislikes? It's a beautiful document of a glorious time. No helmets! Polite players, and true sportsmanship. No hideous Barmy Army (I am English and can't stand them). Both teams had sone amazing players, and if the bowling looks sedate, it really wasn't. Griffith and Hall were easily 90mph bowlers.

It would be marvellous to see ball by ball coverage of these test matches. People would get a shock with the over rate though! In those days bowlers just bowled, got back to their mark and bowled the next delivery. There was no 'dawdling' between overs, no 3 hour conferences to set field placings and the batsmen wouldn't stop the bowler in his run up because he saw a twig fall some 200 yards away!!

Great names of cricket came in the way, like Lance Gibbs, Ken Barrington, Frank Worrell, and more. The commentary was very articulate. The commentators over radio were different. There were sport journaslists from all over the world present at the occassion. True, political developments were getting top stories. Fiedel Castro of Cuba, John F. Kennedy from USA, and Russian politician, Mr Chruchef were in the lime light. Ted Decestor, Tom Greveney, G Sobers, Kehnai, Hall were also in action at least on the field.

Excellent. I remember the series, we were glued to the screen (or the radio. Dexter was a fine sight, though he tended to get out before making a ton, as here. The pace and aggression of Hall and Griffith marked the summer, and Cowdrey’s broken arm was a reminder that cricket is dangerous.
