Wide World of Sports Cricket theme song | Cricket's most iconic music

[@CricketsHit]

It should be law that any and all tv channels introduce Test matches with this song.

[@crazyforcoffee5950]

CricketsHit this should apply to the UK broadcast.

[@joshlynch6]

YES!! IT’S THE BEST!!

[@MaggotDiggo1]

Apparently it's royalty free too.

[@CricketsHit]

@@MaggotDiggo1 sheesh then they've got no excuse not to use it! might use it myself! :)

[@rameezraja5566]

I thought so.. similar feelings

[@Kaydencool2013]

I miss this. When you heard it, you knew summer had arrived in Australia

[@AbiNomac]

I miss this too.

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

What!! They stopped playing it? Madness. It's iconic. It IS cricket. I left Australia in 2000, and assumed it would still be used. Reminds me if Richie. RIP.

[@mehdihassan7728]

[@nayphee]

Not every sport has a theme song, but Cricket does. And this is it!

[@jamesvozar1]

Reminds me of being a kid in primary school again, the cricket on channel nine was family too me.

[@tomlindsay7861]

For me this was the sound of summer as a kid

Just heard this tune again on Channel 9, missed it so much!

Iconic Channel 9. The home of Australian Cricket in the past. Commentary, Telecast, Presentation far far ahead for its times. Love it and miss it.

[@peterkehoe481]

It was brilliant to hear this for the Ashes. Wish Channel 9 & WWOS would get the cricket rights again. Cricket belongs on Nine, tennis belongs on 7.

[@nelrod03]

Don't think Ch9 will ever get it again. The way FOX Cricket & 7 is covering it in Aus., Ch9 days are over.

[@Shad0w5carab]

It’s almost that time of year again lads🎉🎉

[@PerthLuxury]

Reminds me of Warnie. Warnie would never miss an opportunity to take on the poms. His patriotism towards the ashes was second to none.

[@bloomylicious]

Fairly certain I just heard the trumpeter at the fourth test playing this, legend!

[@thinhnonyt]

The Richies tend to do it a lot and I love it

[@NkanyeziVisuals555]

You can only love this. It was always worth waking up at odd hours for as a South African.

[@deana8696]

It is the best. Wont match 7 or fox cricket. Probably wont hear it again for a number of years now the ashes are over and if 9 gets the rights back in 5 years time.

[@jfwfreo]

I dont think we will see the cricket back on 9 because no network can justify buying all the rights on their own (and 9 isn't going to do a deal with 7, 10 or Foxtel)

[@WOSHSV7]

​@@jfwfreo I reckon with 10 with the financial backing of CBS I would say but I also think that the rights past 2024 will be different unless seven pulls out end of the year with it's dispute with CA

[@largechips]

We'll hear it in 10 minutes!!! If your on channel 9.

Brings back my childhood ❤❤

[@happydude6713]

In England we would often get this tune if play had been rained off and they were showing some highlights package from a previous overseas series

[@ben45485]

Love this song! ❤ Here are the lyrics for anyone interested: dadada-dadada-dadada-dadada da da da da It's a short ball. Bradman moves back and pulls tersely past square leg. So this is cricket. Victory to the Australian's by eight wickets. He's done it! Got him! Wow hes got two! Beautifully caught. Aaaaarrrrhhh. He's done it! that is an excellent [unintelligible] Aaarrhhh The last ball. Can you believe it!? dun dun dun dun

[@dfb1976]

Safe to say this is the soul of cricket.

[@abhijit236]

Love this music

[@jallennnn]

the theme song of australian summer!!

[@GILLY56ify]

The best music theme for any sport as far as I'm concerned .. I'm English but every time I listen it makes me think of an Australian summer and test match cricket being played under a baking hot sun which we don't often get in the UK unfortunately .. at least Brian Bennett who composed it is an Englishman so the aussies needed help to create this iconic music

[@luckybigflame1041]

legendary

[@edwardburek1717]

This is as essential to Australian broadcasting as Soul Limbo is to the BBC. Note to BT Sport - USE THIS THEME!!! Not your crappy tinny jingles.

[@saberracer026]

I used this in one of my school assessments

[@Evan_27]

Bring it back please!

[@108CAM]

Playing this after Australia won the 2023 ICC World Cup

[@keitsee]

Same! I grew up with this song and its many remixes since the early 80's.

[@OwainCynanRoberts]

This tune is like Australia’s second national anthem.

Nah this here this is ashes heritage. Sure abcs got a nice song but this ohh it may not sound all that great to the average person but for those of who love the ashes this this right here is a pure classic.
