Shocking that I read the groundsman of western Australia earned more than Dennis Lillee in a cricket season. Aussie cricketers were really shafted at the time.
Ian, you are a pioneer, a man of foresight, gut, griut.. besides a revered captain. You opened the gate to all future professional criketers and they owe you immensely. Bless you. You are a man of a generation and century in criket.

Blown away seeing this. I wish every country had similar films about progression og cricket in every decade. Its too late now most of the players who played in 60's are no more and the bunch of 70's is also getting lesser.
@@LorraineHinchliffe-vg5cb My Dad was a pretty good club cricket all rounder. Garry Sobers was his all time favourite player. Even now when we watch cricket he'll always mention Sobers. Dad was at the MCG when Sobers made 254.
The last few seconds are fascinating when Greg said that he paced out the distance from the stumps to the slips when Thommo was bowling, over 30 metres! Incredible.
The segment at 1:03:15, which was deleted in some edits of this documentary, was probably one of the most compelling parts. The interviews with Tony Greig about Boycott and with John Snow explaining why both didn't go on the 1974/75 tour of Australia under Denness explained many things.
@@nyosito I didn't know that about 1975, but it sure reinforces the point. Just to be clear, I don't believe for a moment that Boycott was scared of getting physically hurt, I am sure that what he was actually scared of was sustaining damage to his reputation as a leading test batsman.
That final test in 1972 series was the last time an Oval Ashes test was won by the side batting second - I was in my mother's womb at the time. And yet, Paine, and then Cummins stupidly gave up the chance to bat first when they won the toss in 2019 and 2023 respectively.
I love you touching upon oh you didn’t play cricket. Actually any of us who played French cricket or Street cricket or park cricket with who ever was about own cricket. Everbody else is a trustee.
Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes opening for Windies. Put on 200. England gets one of them out, we celebrate like never before. Viv Richards walks in...bugger.
What I cannot work out is why didn't ABC (Australia) ask for the Colour footage from 1972 from the BBC (UK), as there would have been arrangements for ABC archive. It also shows that it was not just Australian players who were unhappy with that were paid, it was players from all round the world. There is footage from Sportsmight with Coleman (BBC) in 1968 that England players were unhappy with the pay for what turned out to be the cancelled tour. It also makes me wonder why the ACB in 1971-72 ask India to either tour for Five Tests or rescheule to have both New Zealand and India play three tests each to have dual tours as England had been doing this since 1965.
@@sugarnads I know that, but I am sure that the BBC would have been happy to pass on the colour footage if they could have shown it on BBC2 or BBC4 here in the UK a year so after its orignal broadcast on ABC.
According to Chappell, when asked about his career, Bradman said sometime in the 80s, “I managed to do it all without getting my hair permed or getting divorced.” As Ian puts it, “I thought, ‘Bugger you, mate. It’s personal now.’ And from then on, if I was asked a direct question about Bradman, I would say exactly what I had experienced. “
I think if you've got the highest average,you're just waiting. He's era went with him and Australia hasn't looked back. Except for recognising he still has the highest international average.
Something happened to him on the tour to West Indies in 1973, either an injury or an illness and he was never the same. He basically retired soon after.
My understanding is that the Australian dressing room was very divided when Bradman was playing. His team mates referred to him as 'the little ba5tard'
At least South Africa thankfully never came to Australia as the Rugby Tour in 1971 could have been a blueprint of the protests. Bradman saved the Police and Services keeping busy.
Bradman was too old skool and stuck in his ways. In hs mind cricketers deserved the same crap pay he got. Jealousy and an inability to let the players move forward.
Well done showing the Indian mentality off complaining about anything they can. Are u sad your country has 1.4 billion more people than Australia and are still shit. 😂😂😂
You missed the point. The point is that they WEREN'T staying in decent accommodation. Also, no one said the cat opened the fridge. He said the fridge door was open.
Gold? This documentary was worth a lot more. Great memories.

The Chappell era was the best time of cricket. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
Greg was a truly great player. Ian was mediocre. Slow batter, boring captain.More myth than fact - Lillee was more a factor in the 70's
@@andrewmaroc113You must be the dumbest fuck on the planet....Ian Chappell was a star.
Awesome. This has been unavailable for ages.
Chappelli is in his element here
Rod Marsh was incredible as a wicket keeper and batsman….he had to wicky for Lillee and Thomson
Shocking that I read the groundsman of western Australia earned more than Dennis Lillee in a cricket season. Aussie cricketers were really shafted at the time.
Why would it matter to you that a groundsman makes more money than someone who plays cricket?

What you don't like the forced banter and cross promotions
I love Gary Sobers, THE greatest cricket player of all time!
The best all rounder ever
Bradman was the best bat ever
Warne the best bowler
@@joshlock4627I'd agree
WSC records should be recognised.
Pretty much the best 55 players were there.
It's a disgrace those records aren't counted.
Viv's best years

Great documentary. Cheers for uploading!!
no worries mate, glad you liked it
This is bloody brilliant. Great upload, cheers!
1:15:58 I love this story of what became the friendship between Lord Cowdrey and Thommo
Thanks for these gold cricket videos. Just love these documentaries 😍
You're welcome mate, glad you like them, i have some more i will post
Thanks for this - really enjoyed it.
Some of the deliveries that Thommo bowled were well over 100mph. Even behind his arm, the ball was a blur.

John Snow. Highly intelligent, very insightful, beautifully coordinated action and very sharp pace. A real sporting hero.
@@martinspencer366 yes.
Boycott could have returned in 1976 under Grieg but didn't ... I wonder why? He returned in 1977 - which key Australian bowler was missing I wonder?

Fascinating stories from a marvellour era with fantastic characters - Ian Chappell, Dennis Lillee, Rod Marsh, Gary Sobers, Jeff Thomson.
Thank-you! A good story well told.
Ray Illingworth was a great captain.
Ian Chappel is a great Man. Should be knighted love from India.
Can't disagree (from England).
I wouldn’t let Lord Botham hold the sword..
Fantastic. Ian Chappell is a hero. 👌
I heard that he was such a nasty guy that even his mother disliked him.
This is gold. 1974 limits were 24 cans of beer per person that they could bring into the ground in their eski, lol 1:23:46
That was the best cricketing video I have ever seen. Thanks. Take care and stay safe everyone. Tom.
Tony Greig - one of my all time heroes
I miss 2002.

Greatest cricketer of all time - Sir Garfield Sobers.
Great program on the history
They just needed Chappell to tell us what he really thought about Bradman.
An arrogant tightarse?
According to Chappell, when asked about his career, Bradman said sometime in the 80s, “I managed to do it all without getting my hair permed or getting divorced.”
As Ian puts it, “I thought, ‘Bugger you, mate. It’s personal now.’ And from then on, if I was asked a direct question about Bradman, I would say exactly what I had experienced. “
Don Bradman - most amazing batsman of all time@@ahogg5960
I think if you've got the highest average,you're just waiting. He's era went with him and Australia hasn't looked back. Except for recognising he still has the highest international average.
22:08 Len Hutton as the England captain who won the Ashes 1954-55 after Bodyline.
One of the best cricketers of the underarm era.
Was David Lyod like 9 years old when he faced thommo.... he looks like a 28 year old in this doc !!
Whatever happened to Bob Massey would like to know
Something happened to him on the tour to West Indies in 1973, either an injury or an illness and he was never the same. He basically retired soon after.
It wasn’t stump height. It hit Jenner shoulder height
1.50.10 Botham was right about Chappell. “If you give it out you’ve got to be prepared to take it back and you’re problem is you can’t”..
Bradman mite have been a hero on field but as a member of the cricket board he was a villain
My understanding is that the Australian dressing room was very divided when Bradman was playing. His team mates referred to him as 'the little ba5tard'
Do you have ashes series 2006/07 and 2013/14
You can see Ian Chappell hated Bradman. He never referred to him as "Sir Donald"...just "Bradman"
Bradman was a phenomenal batsman, as an administrator, not so good. Ian is right, Bradman was as responsible for WSC as anyone.
Shouldn’t call people sir anyway. It’s super weird
Chappell hated everyone except himself..and maybe Greg, but I think he hates him too😂😂😂
@@jayannan9897 I love agreeing with him and also hating him
Typical - Ian Chappell lacked tact and class. Neil Harvey summed up WSC best and he knew Bradman personally.
why is Rod Marsh wearing an England tracksuit ?
He coached England at the time
thanks
Beautiful
Let’s hope he gets better soon.
At least South Africa thankfully never came to Australia as the Rugby Tour in 1971 could have been a blueprint of the protests. Bradman saved the Police and Services keeping busy.
"Fusarium needs 75 degrees F. " ? Fusarium will thrive under snow cover. Where it is called " Snow Mould". Sorry Ritchie.
I have hardly scene Chappel have a full smile. He doesnt talk nonsense at all but then again..
Bradman was a master of the bat, but a complete failure as an administrator.
Thats why we were fairly dominant until the end of the 70s
Australia did win a series in India 2004-05.
Yet Australian cricket board were happy to collect the profit.
And your country is worse and all about money.
What a Karen Illingworth was....ENG love bodyline bowling to tailenders
And Australians don’t?
Didn't he have a famous brother who played cricket for Australia?
R.i.p Bob Willis kind regards roy Bennett from Wollongong Australia
Bradman was too old skool and stuck in his ways. In hs mind cricketers deserved the same crap pay he got. Jealousy and an inability to let the players move forward.
A lesson in the employees being targeted for being uppity. If they could have they would have sacked the entire team not just Bill Laurie.
I miss cricket in whites
So this is why Australia comes up clutch against India
Gorgeous dress and even more gorgeous lady. Sarah is the finest weather girl no doubt. Oozes class and sex appeal ❤❤❤❤❤

No helmet against Tomo and Lille on bouncy wickets...no thanks
Was this the area that the Australian cheating bastards or ACB became apparent
Ahahaha. Whinging Poms yeah!?😂 #Fusarium
And now they are totally overpaid…
Dodgy ENG wickets again..its cheating
Don't believe a word Ian Chappell says
Except he win at any cost, what a turd
Don't you believe Ian Botham was terrified Chappell would beat him up ?
Again you must be misguided
Ian Chappel.... Australias Douglas Jardine !!
No sportsmanship here please !!!!
New to cricket? Chappelli played hard but was alaways fair. Always.
Tony Grieg was brilliant signaling a 4😂
I.M Chappell , a leg end in his own mind !!!!
Often wonder what sir donald thought about chappell
Still bitter about fusarium 😂
Another sad story about England and their cheating ways
