Test Cricket

[@murrayreid2748]

For the immense controversies of the "Packer/Cricket Wars" over broadcast rights,the changes we'd take for granted like cameras at both ends,stump mics & more...let alone to hear Richie,Bill etc., not on channel 9!🤯

How’s the intro music. Like a Malcolm Douglas doco

44:52,46:08 fastest deliveries ever bowled in cricket history

[@ncf1]

46:08 is incredible.. almost as if the ball just re-appears past the batsman.. I mean that has to be 165.. 170kph?!

[@anirudhsuresh4481]

@@ncf1 yes i also think that.I Saw a comment from a guy that he calculated both of the deliveries and got 165kph+ for 2 deliveries and one of them were even 167kph well it's not at all professional to decide like that but still it gives us an idea i think how bloody quick these deliveries are

[@ncf1]

@@anirudhsuresh4481 I reckon it has to be close to what that guy calculated.. another thing, I looked at the batting stats today for that series, its amazing how well Alan Knott did throughout, and the next series, against Thommo/Lillee in full flight.. almost incredible given what he was facing!

[@anirudhsuresh4481]

@@ncf1 yes correct and bro there was a bloody quick delivery from Lillee too in this match

My god that music is terrible 😩

[@WAFootyHub]

Haha. Probably the only non copyright music they could find.

[@MrDunkiep]

From the soundtrack to midnight cowboy.

[@chrisdenham9086]

It’s also the music to Wildtracks - a BBC TV show from the 1970s, so I imagine a KPM library tune.

[@MrDunkiep]

@@chrisdenham9086 yep. I used to love the theme tune more than the show!

5:24 LOL! What the hell is a dog doing on the ground in a test match?!😆

[@sentimentalbloke185]

It's outside the fence.

@@sentimentalbloke185 Sure...but the point is why is a dog even inside the Gabba during a Test match?! Different world back then I guess.

It was the Curator's dog.
