During the 1980s, tremors of varying intensity shook cricket's foundations to its core. The program looks at everything from the schism caused by the world series cricket revolution to the defection of many top players to play cricket in isolated apartheid South Africa. The program reveals how Australian cricket coped with this adversity, slowly recovered and eventually triumphed by the end of the decade - primarily through the character and resolve of two men, Allan Border and Bob Simpson.

Border and Simpson turned the Aussies into a powerhouse for many years.

The only disappointing aspect of World Series Cricket was once it was over the South African players were back in the wilderness! The matches should have had first class status too!

@Edgel-in6bs Год назад

Hardly disappointing. Fuckers who benefitted entirely based on race.

They needed to get rid of apartheid before they could be allowed back on to the world stage it is as simple as that

I like Kim Hughes. Remember Kim’s ton at Lord’s against England in the Centenary Test match in 1980. Kim had the potential to be a great player. Big ups on Allan Border for being on his side and opening up about the bullying from Lillee and Marsh, and it was bullying.

@brentinnes5151 Месяц назад

100%..he got a bad rap from media, and was bullied by old guard, so you believe it....looking back objectively and watching his highlights..he was bloody good!!!

@kennethcrowther2277 14 дней назад

Yes they really helped prevent his coming back as a player and regaining his form after the West Indies series, and this did a lot to finish him off. Pretty damn despicable really. Their support could've helped him achieve the opposite.

Given this is stolen from the ABC, it’s pretty fucking cheeky that there’s so many ads in it. Should be demonetised.

@bigfan2710 Год назад

I don't understand the South Africa rebel position though. Why all the talk about loyalty? Surely it was all about money? Surely Border was angry (quite rightly) that some members of his Ashes Party were paid extra to tour. Similarly , surely Hughes went to South Africa for the cash. He was never going to play for the Australian board again.

@Edgel-in6bs Год назад

Generally disgusting that those players went on tour, and that they were so readily forgiven, played again, interviewed here and more. Same for England rebel tourists. Shameful.

@mrkipling2201 Год назад

Hughes had already retired from the Australian team by then, or was it just the captaincy that he gave up in 1984/85??

Allan Border looks strange and unrecognisable minus his trademark moustache.

Come on from a unloseable position, to a direct line to defeat ! How in hell does such a disaster happen ? Someone threw the match .it would have been a number of prominent Aussies secretly having substancual amounts of money betting on Australia to loose at over 500 to 1 against ..

@brentinnes5151 8 месяцев назад

but they wouldnt have made it so public that they had a bet..I think it was legit and Botham's heroics

@kennethcrowther2277 14 дней назад

Sour grapes mate! Haha. It was a legit drubbing from Botham and Willis. Two greats at their very best!

It's called a sporting anomoly..... It happens every now and then. West Indies lost the World Cup Final in 1983. Brazil lost 7 - 1 to Germany in recent years. These things happen from time to time.

@HHM706 Год назад

The Aussies were massively helped by the umpires during the 1989 series

Let's not get carried away here

@mrkipling2201 Год назад

They weren't. I'm an England fan and I watched all of that 1989 Ashes series. We were fairly beaten. In fact we should have lost 6-0 but for the weather. We were awful.

@ahogg5960 Год назад

The old joke, probably an urban legend, was about Mike Gatting's answer machine during that series. "Hi Mike Gatting here, I'm out at the moment... probably lbw to Alderman" And the infamous story about some wag who spray painted "Thatcher Out!" on a wall and someone else coming along underneath "LBW Alderman!"

@mrkipling2201 Год назад

It was Graham Gooch actually, not Gatting. Gooch said he wore out 3 pairs of pads during that series!!

@dlamiss 5 месяцев назад

No one better in the last 50 years in ENGLISH CONDITIONS as a seam/swing bowler than Alderman. In two ashes tours he was virtually unplayable

@mrkipling2201 11 месяцев назад

I've just realised that the documentary is from 2002 in the title. Yet it says that Steve Waugh stopped playing test cricket in 2004. Strange!!!

Greg Chappell whinging about how much harder captaining Australia after WSC is interesting, especially in regards his naivety that now they were getting more fairly renumerated that there wouldn't be extra commitments/matches to go with it.

@ahogg5960 2 месяца назад

Here's the dirty secret - they weren't. The pay was still bollocks compared to the gate takings because the deal the ACB did with Kerry Packer was heavily favoured in favour of Kerry to make back the money he pissed away on WSC. This led all the way up to the mid-late 90s, when that star studded team led by Mark Taylor almost went on strike.

@roybennett9284 Год назад

No I tell a lie Jeff Thomson verse India and also Kim Hughes the golden haired boy average 28 against England... those were the days Ian Chappell came to our infant public school,I bowed to the great man and signed my allpro Kmart made in India bat.
