Podcasts about World Series Cricket

Delvene Delaney is an actress and documentarian. Her documentary, Love of an Icon: The Legend of Crocodile Dundee, pays tribute to Paul Hogan and honours her late husband, John Cornell.John was not only a great friend of mine but, in my opinion, one of Australia's greatest creative minds. His vision helped revolutionise cricket with World Series Cricket and co-create Crocodile Dundee, one of the most successful Australian films of all time.This conversation dives into Delvene's love story with John Cornell and the unforgettable magic that unfolded on the Crocodile Dundee set with Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski. I loved this chat, and I think you will too.Love of an Icon: The Legend of Crocodile Dundee is in cinemas 27 March with nationwide screenings.

Welcome to this episode of Just Havin a Crack. This week's guest is South African all-rounder, coach, and match Referee Mike Procter.Mike growing up in Durban was drawn to all sports but cricket won out.Mike rose to the top of his game at a time when South Africa was unable to compete internationally due to Apartheid.A country divided by what colour your skin was.World Series Cricket, County Cricket, and Currie Cup were Mike's avenues to display his skills.Post-retirement Mike went on to coach South Africa and then become a Match Referee.Mike was involved with the now infamous "Monkey Gate" saga between India and Australia.

It all happened in the sixties and seventies with the re organisation of club cricket, Women's Cricket was finding its feet and World Series Cricket hit Canberra, coaching and junior cricket were thriving  and the star players were a plenty - I hope you enjoy Episode 3 “Country Powerhouse to Regional Powerhouse” as we celebrate the 100th Year of Cricket in the ACT.

It's hard to remember now, but televised cricket in Australia was led by the ABC for over 20 years. From the beginning of television in 1956, ABC TV was the country's predominant broadcaster of cricket.Then in 1977, Kerry Packer created World Series Cricket; a move ultimately designed to get the exclusive rights to broadcast cricket on the Nine Network, and off the ABC.It was called a cricket revolution, but to what extent had the relay technology, the camera angles, the action and slow-motion replays — as well as the commentators — been pioneered and nurtured by the ABC?

Welcome to this episode of Just Havin a Crack.Today's guest Ray Phillps has lived a fortunate life. A life where his love of cricket has taken him to places he never thought were possible.Growing up in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Ray took his opportunity to play cricket in Queensland where he had a distinguished career. Ray's career spanned World Series Cricket, the rebel tour of South Africa, and the shift from WSC back to the establishment and subsequent tours of England.Spend an hour with us as he hear from Ray and how opportunity knocks.

Kepler Wessels has the distinction of representing both Australia and South Africa in International Cricket. In this edition of the Cricket Library Podcast, Kepler Wessels joins host Matt Ellis to share his reflections on the origins of his passion for cricket, breaking into First Class Cricket at age 16 whilst still at school, moving to England and the influence of Tony Greig in getting him to Australia to play World Series Cricket. We hear about Kepler's test debut, where he made a big hundred, and we clear up who was to blame for the run-out of Greg Chappell in that innings. He shares his mindset for taking on and conquering the almighty West Indies pace attack of the 1980s. We get some insights into the Sheffield Shield final in the 1985/6 season and his dismissal of Mark Waugh in that game. Kepler speaks of the surprise of returning to play international cricket for South Africa, the thrill of beating Australia in their first game of the 92 World Cup and the disappointment of bowing out in a rain-affected semi-final. He shares the plan they hatched to dismiss Allan Border in the famous Sydney Test Match of 1994 and the elation of scoring a century at Lord's at the back end of his career. Kepler updates us on what he is up to now, including his work at Kepler Wessels Training. Of course, we don't let him get away without asking who the three people he would most like to join him at the cricket nets.

Greg Chappell is one of the most accomplished Cricketers Australia has ever produced. While he was a run machine, he batted with a touch of elegance and grace that few have seen before or since. The second of three brothers to play for Australia, Greg made 7 110 runs in 87 test matches at the superb average of 53.86 to go with his 24 test centuries, and also averaged over 40 in one day Cricket for good measure as well. He was the first player to manage the feat of scoring a century in both his first and last test matches, and as captain, he won 21 of his 48 Tests and lost only 13.He was equally productive in the breakaway World Series Cricket years, averaging 54 in 14 Supertests that saw some of the fiercest Cricket that Greg had encountered. In 1973, Greg was named the Wisden Cricketer of the Year and in 2000 he was named in the Australian Test Team of the Century. Greg was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 2002.After retiring in 1984, Greg has since fulfilled a number of roles, including as a national selector over two stints, the national talent manager for Cricket Australia, and a television and radio commentator.In terms of coaching, he coached the South Australian Redbacks from 1998 for five seasons, before taking on the role of Indian coach from 2005 to 2007 in what was a tumultuous period in working alongside combative former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly.He is a Member of the British Empire (MBE) for his services to cricket, and just this year was made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for distinguished service to cricket as a leading player, captain, coach and administrator at the elite level, and for his contribution to a range of charitable organisations.He has also recently released a book, titled ‘Greg Chappell: Not Out', where he dissects Australian Cricket and his career from all angles, including mental skills and the future of the game in this country. It's well worth a read.

An excellent chat with Den Headley about his days at Kenbt and Middlesex playing alongside some legends of the game and how dressing room culture has changed down the years. At the same time he talks about how the game has always needed to embrace change to evolve in the modern world and mentions the impact of World Series Cricket, the arrival of the 40 over game and of course T20. He recalls memorable England tours to Australia and the West Indies, before going on to talk expansively about what heed to be done to keep the game alive. Fascinating stuff.

To open the show, Matty pondered what are some of the best tag-lines in sport, gave the latest on NRL news and remembered the history surrounding World Series cricket.

Mick Malone joins us to talk about the 1977 Ashes tour of England, that culminated in Mick taking 5-63 and scoring 46 with the bat at the Oval in his one and only Test for Australia. He also chats growing up in Scarborough, World Series Cricket and his time playing in the Lancashire League for Haslingden. 

The legend that is Ian Chappell joins us to talk about his finest Ashes' moments and his wider cricketing career. The captaincy, the hundreds, the battles with the board. World Series Cricket and the Lancashire League. All this and much, much more. It's an episode not be missed.

“When I got home that night I said to my wife, ‘the bastards will never get me that way’.”

Welcome to episode 46 of Just Havin a Crack. Today our guest is former England Test and County Cricketer Ian Greig.Growing up in South Africa and having a famous older brother (Tony), Ian forged his own way as a professional cricketer.After just two tests for England Ian was dropped from the test side. He went onto have a successful county cricket career, only to be on the verge of a Test recall, captain no less.  This was dashed because him spending his summers in Australia playing cricket and missing one year of the county cricket season.Ian is a deep thinker and a proud South African and when asked of his older brother he simply replied. He was my hero.

Arguably the most famous sporting family in Australia, Trevor followed a legacy of people before him. Grandfather, Father and two older brothers that captained Australia and still to this day considered Cricketing Royalty.Trevor had big shoes to fill and he knew it.Then throw into the mix one of the most controversial moments in Australian Cricket, the underarm incident.My side is a gripping listen of a brother living in a sporting legacy.

Dennis Lillee is widely lauded as the greatest fast bowler of his generation, if not of all time.  The cricketer joins Sean Sennett on this week’s episode of Time To Talk to discuss his career.  A wide ranging discussion, the conversation takes us from Dennis playing Club Cricket in Perth through to the halcyon days of World Series Cricket and beyond.  Dennis is also a massive music fan, so sit back as the former-paceman talks about everything from dislodging Geoff Boycott’s cap to the Rolling Stones and more.

Today's guest Len Pascoe a son of an immigrant family landing in Western Australia when quite young. Eventually found thier way to the Western Suburbs of Sydney, where Len's story really begins.Taking nothing for granted Len and his great mate Jeff Thompson terrorised opposition batsman from club level to Test cricket and World Series Cricket. Len can't tell his story without Thommo being in it.Ghosts of the past are what Len describes as the ex-players and holders of the famous Baggy Green. Test cricketers that retire and hand on the privilege of playing for their country to the next who fought for the opportunity.

We chat with special guest Kim Hughes about his career and some of the more colourful characters he played with in that time. We also ask about the off field drama with World Series Cricket and how that changed the game forever.

Cricket might have received its razzmatazz in the truest form decades later, clear hints around the same were pretty much evident during the World Series Cricket played between 1977-1979. The tournament might not have lived long but encapsulated all the contemporary facets of cricket especially that of the T20 leagues being played around the world. Coloured kits, protective helmets, field restrictions and day-night cricket, all of which are pretty common things in modern-day cricket were all pioneered during the World Series Cricket. Fitness, which has become a must during these times of the sport being played throughout the year, also gained awareness during the World Series Cricket for the players were required to play a lot of matches during a limited window. That being said, the biggest positive coming out from the tournament was the belief that the sport can be marketed successfully to gain affirmative results as far as the commerce was concerned. In this episode, we take you back time to a series or competition in World Cricket that has truly shaped the sport: much of what we see in Cricket now was envisioned and delivered way back in 1977-1979 by one man's vision- Kerry Packer! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/raghav-ravichandran/support

Today is a very, very special episode of Lessons Learnt with the Greats. I would not be the cricketer or person I am today without the guidance and tutelage from my Cricket Academy coach when I was just a teenager, Rod Marsh. Rod is a legend as a player, forming one half of the famous Caught Marsh Bowled Lillee combination before perhaps making a larger impact as a coach and mentor once his playing days were done. Rod's insights into wicketkeeping, coaching and the mantras he lives by should not be missed.Episode notes:01:36 - Rod's career highlights03:44 - The World Series Cricket days06:35 - Rod discusses wicketkeeping techniques17:40 - Rod reflects on his batting24:15 - How Rod kept fit during his playing days31:26 - Rod's coaching lessons he learnt from his time at the academy45:26 - The mental skills Rod used50:25 - What Rod instilled in the young cricketers at the academy55:16 - Rod's finance philosophies59:52 - Rod's life mantra1:03:51 - The people who have inspired Rod1:06:52 - The books Rod reads and how he ignited my love of books See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Australia's current cricketers owe a lot to this week's guest on Lessons Learnt with the Greats, the former captain and champion batsman Ian Chappell. Chappelli was as tough as they come, not only as a no-nonsense batsman but off the field when dealing with the Australian Cricket Board. Chappelli, along with his peers in the 1970s, stood up to the likes of Sir Donald Bradman in fighting for better pay and conditions for the players. He was a key figure in World Series Cricket before returning to the Test team where the players were paid more, paving the way for today's cricketers reaping the rewards for their efforts.It's a fascinating listen and Chappelli tells stories that I could listen to for days and days. I hope you all enjoy.Episode notes01:46 - Chappelli starts by talking about his early days and taking on the ACB16:00 - Chappelli talks batting an taking on the short ball35:47 - How Chappelli honed his catching skills41:37 - The mental side of the game47:08 - Chappelli's learnings as a leader56:09 - Chappelli on how he's handled the media1:01:53 - Chappelli's mantra on life1:07:02 - The three people who have inspired ChappelliYouTube linksChappelli's 111no v World Xi, 1971-72 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Iqbuybg_aY See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this bonus episode, if you listen very carefully you can hear the Top Order boys pinching themselves throughout this awesome trip down memory lane with Barry Richards, one of the finest batsmen to ever play the game. In an era when South Africa were unable to play test cricket, Barry Richards dominated first-class attacks for over 10 years in both his native South Africa and the UK, scoring nearly 29,000 first class runs at an average close to 55. After playing only 4 tests for South Africa (in which he averaged 70) prior to the apartheid international ban, Barry was once again able to test his skills against the best in Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket. Despite being 34, he averaged nearly 80 with a top score of 207 in his 5 “Super Tests”.

South African great Barry Richards tells Simon Hughes and Simon Mann what an amazing experience World Series Cricket was and Sam Billings thanks Dennis Amiss for pioneering helmets. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The eloquent and encyclopaedic Gideon Haigh joins Diana and Donald to chat all things cricket. We learn about when and why cricket started in Australia, its greasy foothold in America and its unabating grip within the Indian sub continent.Gideon reads a passage from his profile on Shane Warne featured in The Monthly in September 2005 ('Beach Boy'), which preceded a legendary Test match that summer and Gideon's book, On Warne.We cover a lot of ground (sorry) in this special Christmas edition of Greenland, in which we zero in on one of the great Australian pastimes - playing or watching cricket. The Boxing Day Test is one of the fixtures on our national sporting calendar, played on the hallowed turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).Links to some stuff we refer to/further reading:The enduring legacy of Phillip Hughes, article in The Australian by Gideon Haigh, 27 November 2019. This is a stunning reflection on a post-Hughes cricket world.Gideon Haigh's most recent book, This is How I Will Strangle You is out now. It examines the tortuous experience of Natasa Christidou who was sexually abused by her father.If (like Diana) you can't get enough of Gideon's writing, here's a link to all of his published work and website so you can devour it there.  A word about our cover art Australia is currently experiencing raging bushfires across New South Wales and Queensland. Our fire brigades and volunteers have been absolutely stretched to the hilt and our whole community is trying to support them. A small way we're helping out at Greenland is to use this epic photo taken by John Donegan as our promo artwork for this episode on social channels. All proceeds of the sale of the photo are being donated to the NSW Rural Fire Service. It's a beautiful photo that captures the spirit of our firefighters and the role of cricket in Australian life - in good and tough times. If you'd to purchase the photo (and support the NSW Rural Fire Service)  you can do so here for A$55.        

Ahead of the Cricket World Cup’s biggest matchup, Beyond The Game spoke to former ICC President and Pakistan captain Mr. Zaheer Abbas. In 78 test matches he scored more than 5,000 test runs, at an average of just over 44. Top scoring with 274 against England in just his second test. In One Day cricket he was part of World Series Cricket - a revolution in the game. He was the first Asian batsman to score one hundred first-class centuries, and the first batsman to score three consecutive centuries in one-day internationals. Records like these earned him the nicknames Run Machine and the Asian Bradman. He was elected as the ICC President in 2015. Only the third ex-player to take on that role. Beyond The Game is a five times a week show that tells you everything you need to know about your favourite sports.

This week’s guests are sports biz guru Tim Crow and Derek Pringle, the former England test cricketer turned journalist and author. We explore the links between the original breakaway ‘cricket circus’ of World Series Cricket in the late 1970s and later innovations including the emergence of Twenty20 in the noughties, the IPL and the ill fated Stanford debacle through to the ECB’s new brainchild, The Hundred which launches in 2020.  We also discussed Derek's new book, Pushing The Boundaries. www.unofficialpartner.com

Greg Chappell was a sublimely talented batsman, who, when he retired, had made more runs for Australia than any other player. He was also captain of Australia's Test team either side of World Series Cricket. But for a generation of cricket fans in the late 80s and 90s, the name Greg Chappell was best known for the stiff brimmed calico cricket hat with the little brown signature on the side. The theme music in this episode is courtesy of the Blue Dot Sessions and the Free Music Archive. Object of the Game is a podcast presented by the National Sports Museum at the MCG, telling the stories behind the objects on display in the museum.

Cricket has been transformed in the last four decades, first because of Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket, and then recently by the IPL. Noted cricket writers Gideon Haigh and Prem Panicker join Amit Varma in episode 41 of The Seen and the Unseen to discuss the enormous impact of this commercialisation.

We take a look back to May 1977 - when the cricketing world was turned on its head by the flamboyant Australian billionaire Kerry Packer. After failing to get the TV rights he desperately wanted, he launched a secret plan to sign up the world's best players for his own breakaway tournament: World Series Cricket

On the eve of the landmark Day Night Test Match between Australia and New Zealand, Ayaz is right in the middle of the action in Adelaide. In this episode, the host, CP Thomas, and Ayaz discuss the apprehensions amongst players from both teams. On the day-night factor, as well as the role of the pink ball. Interestingly, even as the whole attention revolves around this revolution in Tests, Cricket Australia has announced that the records of players from the 'rebel' World Series Cricket will be officially recognised. Ayaz touches upon this development, because the Kerry Packer series was indeed a path-breaking event which shook up the world of cricket. And while discussing Test matches, it is hard to ignore the batting debacle of South Africa, the current top-ranking country, on Indian soil. Is the devil in the pitch or in the minds of the batsmen? Not just the South Africa ones, but even the Indian stars.

Deakin Broadcast Journalism student Matt Brown tells the World Series Cricket story 'Howzat' from a personal perspective with a small acting role in the series.

During the 1960s attendance fell at cricket grounds across England. Just as the Church of England lost members in droves in the same period, it appeared that this other pillar of English tradition was becoming irrelevant amidst the social and cultural developments of the times. Making the situation worse were the guardians of the sport, who were reluctant to respond to the changes around them. The men of the Marlyebone Cricket Club and administrators of county sides held to the old class division, preferring amateur gentlemen to serve as their captains, even when there were few Oxbridge graduates with enough money or free time to devote themselves to the sport–or enough talent to merit a captaincy. And while other governing bodies of international sport were cutting ties with apartheid South Africa, the MCC still saw that country’s side as a legitimate competitor and made plans for tours. As Guy Fraser-Sampson shows in his history of English cricket in the late Sixties and early Seventies, these obstinate positions led English cricket into one controversy after another. When the professional Brian Close, son of a weaver, became captain of the England side in 1966, he went on to lead the team to successful series against the West Indies, India, and Pakistan. But the following year the MCC stripped Close of the captaincy on feeble charges that he had violated the code of the game. And when South African cricket officials warned the MCC that a team which included Basil D’Oliveira, a “colored” native of Cape Town, would not be welcome in the country, the talented D’Oliveira was excluded from the England side. Both decisions brought scorn from English cricket fans. But as Guy explains in our interview, the MCC was not an institution responsive to public mood. Cricket at the Crossroads: Class, Colour and Controversy from 1967 to 1977 (Elliott & Thompson, 2011) tells the stories of the Close and D’Oliveira affairs, along with the successes achieved on the field by Ray Illingworth’s side in the 1970s. The book concludes with Kerry Packer’s creation of World Series Cricket and the challenge that it posed to the English cricket establishment. But even more significant, in Guy’s treatment, is the turn toward aggressive bowling in the 1970s, which left batsmen battered and ushered in what he terms “a dark age” for cricket.
