Cricket DVDs

[Jono]

There is actually a Nathan Astle DVD out?

Lord...

His double ton, fastest ever.

Or are you just trolling again?

 

[GIMH]

The latter I suspect, poor form IMO

Australia vs. WI Test Series 92/93 (Cricketvideo.com)

There's some fascinating stuff there. The 1972 England/Aus onedayers probably weren't the best, but it was the first oneday series played anywhere, IIRC, and it would be fascinating to see how they went about it.

Indeed...

What a site...

It is, of course, added to my favourites. Until this week, time of life - new house, bigger mortgage, and my wife not working after having 2nd child - meant these purchases weren't really an option. Now Mrs WP is back at work for a day & a half a week, how do I tell her that her first month's pay cheque will be going on a stack of cricket dvds?

Haha David. You should seriously consider shifting to India. We get cricket highlights almost all times of the day on some sport channel. Just yesterday, there was an England-India test from the 70s being shown on one channel, an old India-Pakistan match from Sharjah on another, a Laxman inning on a third one and world cup highlights on a 4th.

My kind of country.
As long as they don't go showing ballbyball coverage of the 1981/82 series

Was that England-India Test from the '70s in England?

 

[Pratters]

Was that England-India Test from the '70s in England?

Yep..

 

[Richard]

Oh, right, makes sense, then.

'Cos as far as I'd heard, no cricket had ever been televised in India in the '70s.

Watched Mumbai last night. Really was a very good test match. Strauss's ton was very good, in spite of a couple of chances in the 90s, and Anderson bowled so well in the 1st dig. And as for Shaun Udal....

Obviously the outstanding performance was from Flintoff. great captaincy as well. Seems a LONG time ago now though...

 

[Richard]

It was.

When I think... in those days I was a carefree teenager...

Picked up this box set:

It has 4 recent ABC documentaries on Australian cricket in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Really good stuff but the awesome thing is the special features which contain highlights from every day of the 58/59 Ashes, 62/63 Ashes and the Centenary Test.

 

[Dasa]

Ooh quality. I've only seen Cricket in the '60s and '80s, might pick that up.

 

[nightprowler10]

Most of the good DVDs that I want aren't playable in the US. I call discrimination, tbh.

 

[Dasa]

No multi-region DVD player?

ABC shop have a special for $78 for the box or 22 each iirc. Was pretty happy with that.

Don't own one. Don't usually have a need for it, not that they're common around here. Not sure if I wanna shell out for one just to watch a couple of DVDs.

The only ones available to me are Dravid - The Wall and Lara's 400.
