Donald George Bradford born in the small Australian town of Bower arrived in England in the summer of
1930 within days he was rewriting the record book the youngest batsman to score 2,000 runs
in a season the fastest century in test history the highest score ever made in the test it was
history in the making and on and on it went driving English crowds to delight the journalists to
hyperbole and the cricketing laws to despair might as well throw stones at the rock of Gibraltar
and while it seemed to the Lords that Australia would retain the ashes so long as Don Bradman
chose to play the game there was one cricketer in England who believed that he could be beaten
that man was Douglas Jardine I saw him in the last test at the open it was a damp wicked fading
light Lourdes got up a lot of pace the ball was rising sharply Bradman started to look
uncomfortable well what batsman wouldn't but every time he has faced Lourdes he's hit him all over
the field yes but I started to think no one's unstoppable every problem has its solution even
Breton well as I said it's only a theory I could be wrong well you were right about one thing you
always said that he had changed the whole nature of the game now we have to find a whole new
approach that's the challenge who is there can meet it
the captain
I wouldn't be in your shoes for quids old man ain't going off to campaign against the Australians
and those young devils transfers up and down England and imagine what they'd be like on their
own soil oh not to mention the heat and the flies veritable season in hell but nil desperandom I
have the solution to your problems drink as much of this on the tour as you possibly can and all
your troubles will float away on tiny pink bubbles I shall need your help oh of course I will help
you my dear fellow this place will become our war room to the new general
cheers Douglas
in that case let us follow Napoleon's dictum the first law of strategy is know your enemy
Napoleon also said an army marches on its stomach what are we going to do about dinner
Edith could you prepare something do you think yes could you I'm not a cook I'm an Egyptologist
follow me this is just a little something I've thrown together take a seat in the stall
Donald George Bramble born 1908 son of a carpenter from Bauerall in New South Wales son of a carpenter
worth a thought an exceptional athlete excelling in tennis golf running shooting ping-pong
marbles and of course his average score in his first season was 101 he holds the record
for the highest score in first class cricket 452 not out the highest score in test cricket
334 the most number of runs in a day 309 the most number of runs in a series 975 and this
on foreign soil the cold and the damp of England can't phase in and in Australia when it's
a hundred in the shade he can score 300 in the sun the man is a veritable batting machine
and still only 23 if he continues in this fashion he will become the most phenomenal
batsman of all time imagine what history will say about the man who was able to defeat it
this person what else do you have I need all the information I can get he's betting averages
on every type of wicket I need to look at every time he's failed see if there's a common
element he must find his weakness well assuming he has one what we must do first is talk to
some bowlers fast bowlers was there no time you had him worried no mr. Jardine I bowled
fastest and hardest I could at him but he always had my measure well a couple of our
chaps did try bowling round the wicket his legs stopped that kept down his runs Bradman
wouldn't have liked that no no he didn't yes he likes to make runs doesn't he thank you
George apart from that there was no other time we had even the slightest amount of difficulty
at all thank you George perhaps if you spoke with someone who bowled at him more often
loud for instance mr. Jardine what brings you here Bradman oh excuse me I'll put some
clothes on can't keep anything clean in this place some days are so full of coal dust from
honestly mine you can taste it well Harold will need a new pair of boots this season
I will they don't come cheap put those inside Harold only earns two pound ten down mining
off season and ruins his ass for privilege come through that gate every afternoon looking
like a blackmore turns half night cop in mine out to those loons who know I suppose what
a fastball those breathing means to him you see mr. Jardine cricket cricket's more than
just a game to us all his life Harold's faced that choice cricket or Pitts if he's selected
for knotting and this season he'll earn eight pound a week not saying much to you but to
us it's a fortune well is there a chance he won't be selected
oh he's a warrior he wouldn't tell you this but in his art of arts he's afraid his cricket
days are over he believes he's bowled himself to a standstill says at 28 a fastball has
seen his best days I understand I'll put kettle on
I'd like to come into the parlor mr. Jardine well could we just chat out here for a while
aye
Harold you've bowled a lot of balls to Redwood aye he hit most of them too you know I scored
more runs off me than anyone in 1930 series he's a fair hand with the bat all right what
about the oval the last test I'd rather forget that he scored 232
after rain had stopped play you were brought back on I got a bit of lift and thought for
a moment it might happen yes he went through for a suicide run to get off strike do you
know with the end of a long day we'd all have enough his concentration had gone well I thought
that he was nervous well I am fast mr. Jardine yes I know Harold could you just think try
to remember each ball well there was one thing though I didn't
play much mind at the time when you come into ball with Radman there's one thing you always
notice sets him apart from other batsmen he don't move he stands perfectly still well
fourth or fifth ball last older as I came in to deliver I noticed him sort of moving
sort of edging away I don't know I thought I saw his feet move but no one else noticed
it did he do it again no after that he went straight through for the run sorry mr. Jardine
it's not much but it's the only time I sense diadem in trouble thank you Harold

that's it.
is this it?
what?
play it again.
I've played it again.
play it again.
now watch his foot.
all right so he moved his foot.
Douglas you're making too much of this.
no Percy I'm not.
Lowe would also sense something.
he said it was the only time that he detected any movement from Redmond before the delivery.
oh come come all batsmen move their feet.
I myself have the habit of...
not Redmond.
all right so he moved his foot.
where does that get you?
come over here.
oh just a minute.
ready now the ball pitches short and comes at you head high.
how do you play it?
absolutely it's obvious.
under the back foot.
play it defensively or step inside the line and it's about two for four.
preferably six.
fine.
now watch this.
now watch his back foot.
see?
now you do the same thing.
here comes a short pitched ball.
what stroke are you playing?
a bloody awful one.
how would you feel if you played a stroke like that to a head high ball?
nervous.
precisely.
it could be the ball to which Bradman doesn't have an answer.
what I need are men who can bowl short fast and accurately.
ball after ball hour after hour.
yes fast bowlers.
as many as I can get.
it may be what you'd like it's not what the selectors are going to give you.
we'll worry about the selectors later.
let's see the bowlers first.
in Australia the weather's hot.
the grounds are hard.
the ball loses its shine early and won't do what you want it to.
if you want to be in my team you will all have to be fitter than you've ever been.
swifter than Arrow from Tata's bow. twice as accurate.
Bose what do you think about that?
it's fine by me.
soon to be married I could use the extra money.
Bose?
I just like Craig at Bradman.
Harold?
aye.
I'll give it a go.
Harold, love.
just arrived from London.
go on.
let's open it.
30 minutes of
Oh shoot.
juices coming out of your eyes.
väve Ahora!
Sir settings you ready?
12 means 50 cents.
That's eight pounds you've got me.
9, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16...
Harold Llywood, I know it's you.
Don't not do it again now.
26, 29, 29, 30...
That'll be 24 pints.
All right.
Very bit short aren't they?
No just an experiment.
It's a dangerous experiment if you ask me so I might get hurt.
I say.
Well bowled Harold.
He's the fastest bowler on the face of the earth.
Yes but is he vast enough for Bradman?
It is spin bowling which will be Bradman if anything will.
Especially on Australian wickets.
Nobody has used pace properly.
Well it's good that you're thinking broadly old chap
but I think you're barking up the wrong tree.
If I were you I'd stick to my spinnett hack.
I think it's time my dear fellow.
You had a chat with Lord Harris.
So you believe that pace bowling is the solution to our Bradman problem?
Yes sir I do.
What does Plum think of your intentions?
Well he thinks I'm wrong.
Yes well of course he has been considering the evidence.
Bradman has been dismissed more often by spin than by pace.
It's an aberration.
Pace has never been used consistently as part of an overall strategy.
Well tell me all about your strategy.
That would be premature but I do have particular requirements.
Bradman is an unorthodox batsman.
We must employ unorthodox tactics.
You want me to talk to the selectors?
Well only should it become necessary.
I merely wanted to inform you of the state of clay.
You learn quickly Douglas.

You should have seen Lawood. He was magnificent.
Not that the others are bad, of course.
But Lawood was outstanding.
Given the right circumstance, he's the measure of bread.
Edith, are you listening?
I was thinking about cricket.
Cricket?
Yes, cricket and Ramesses II.
Ramesses II.
This is a little known piece of Egyptian history but there is a lesson to be learned.
There was of course reference to it on the Rosetta Stone.
But considerable more evidence was shed on the subject by Lord Carnarvon's
discovery of the tomb of the boy King Tutankhamen 10 years ago.
You see, during the 19th dynasty in the reign of Ramesses II, there was a game, not a night cricket,
played by the peasants of the Rontes Valley in Kadesh, to be precise.
Of course they played 29 aside and a ball made from crocodile hide on a pitch 149 yards long.
This is as it happens the exact perpendicular height is the third pyramid of Giza.
I really don't follow you.
Exactly. Ramesses is as boring to you as cricket is to me.
Forgive me, you're right.
We should talk about something else.
Good.
I hear the production of the Old Vicky's excellent.
That's not surprising seeing that I told you.
Oh did you?
That's why we are going tonight.
We are?
We are.
Old Vick, Rode J, 8 p.m. Would you like me to write it down?
No no no.
Look, could I meet you there? I have some work to do.
I might be a little late.
So Douglas became obsessed with Bradman.
While 12,000 miles away in Australia, the boy wonder had become more than a cricketing phenomenon.
He was now a national celebrity, the first of a new breed of sporting heroes.
His publicity value paying huge dividends for the hero of a nation.
And now station 2UE proudly presents Don Bradman broadcasting exclusively every night at 8 together with Uncle Lionel and the Listerine Serenaders.
Dry Listerine, yes Listerine, it makes your breath so sparkling clean.
For Bradman, the price of fame was to be a clash with bureaucracy, which almost resulted in his giving up cricket.
And Douglas Jardine losing the target of all his battle plans.
The board will see you now Mr. Bradman.
Morning Don.
Dr. Robertson.
You sit down.
You know Mr. Jeans.
Morning Don.
Mr. Oxlade.
Thank you for coming in Don.
The reason we've asked you along today is that we have a problem.
This three-way contract you've signed, it includes writing for the newspaper.
Yes.
Yes, well I'm afraid that is in direct contravention of control board regulations.
You see Don, this clause that Dr. Robertson is referring to specifically states...
The interest of it is, but no player is allowed to write for a paper if he's also playing in the test matches.
Is it all right for me to do the sporting promotions?
Oh certainly.
And to continue my radio broadcasts?
There's nothing in the regulations about broadcasting.
Even though I'll be commenting on the cricket.
This regulation predates the introduction of the wireless.
Now let me get this straight.
You're saying that I can promote sports goods and broadcast cricket comments on the wireless.
But I can't write about it in the newspaper.
That's correct Don.
Well that is ludicrous.
You must appreciate that we as the watchdogs of Australian cricket must ensure some order is maintained.
Only players whose sole occupation is journalism are exempt from the ruling.
And you must appreciate that I am not qualified for anything else.
And I can't earn a living from playing cricket in Australia.
My only alternative would be to take up the offer to play as a professional in England.
Well we wouldn't want that Don.
What other choice do I have?
I will not renege on my contract.
There must be an equitable solution to this.
In the terms of the clause a player may request the board's permission to write and play.
Good. Then I'm asking permission to write and play.
The request has to be in writing Don.
Fine.
So we can expect to receive something from you in the mail.
Yes. You'll be hearing from me.
Good morning.
Jess?
Don?
Jessi?
Come in.
Jessi's trying on a wedding dress.
Jessi I need a letter typed.
Those galows at the cricket board are making me jump through hoops.
Well you can't see me in my wedding dress. It's bad luck.
We won't be long.
Well I'd like it now. I want to catch the afternoon mail.
Thank you Maud.
From our room.
Milk or lemon?
Milk. No no. Lemon.
Bradman's request for permission to write.
Ah good. Now what shall we tell him?
You can't allow any player to dictate terms.
Cricket is a game for 11 aside not a parade of film stars.
This public idolatry of Bradman threatens the very future of cricket.
You're right Alan.
Nevertheless we couldn't afford to lose him.
Does he make any mention of the England offer?
Cricket without Bradman would be like Hamlet without the Dane.
That's a little extreme surely.
Besides I don't think Bradman would be prepared to abandon cricket.
He or move to England.
Anyway there's no urgency. The test series is months away.
I think we can afford to let him sweat on it for a while.

Sincere best wishes for your future happiness.
Alright, alright, I'd now like to call on the bridegroom, my brother,
and Australia's favourite son, Don Bradman.
As for my beautiful bride, I can only say that I have begun the best partnership of my life.
Well, I think we have it now.
Listen to this.
Alan, Beaux, Vos, Lowood, Tate.
The most formidable array of fast bowlers ever assembled.
And the batsmen?
Sutcliffe, Bob Wyatt, Hammond, Duleep, Leyland, Robert.
I've been thinking of the Noir de Petardie.
He's just come down from Oxford.
He's gone home to India.
Yes, but I'm sure he'd love to come along with us on the tour,
play the Black Prince in the Antipodes.
And you, Doug the joiner, shall play the Lowands part.
I hope here is a play fitted.
Finalise the team.
It's time to celebrate.
Oh, I knew it was time for something.
I have just the thing.
What on earth is he doing?
Attracting your attention.
Although perhaps I should be wearing a cricket pad.
I used to love this room.
Do you remember?
Yes.
This is where we first met.
Yes.
I noticed that there's a blank space on your dance card.
There's a blank space in my life.
Please.
It's the telephone.
Yes.
What might be important?
Might be.
Don't bother, I'll get it.
Fender.
Yes, he is.
Oh, I see.
Yes, yes, I'll tell him.
Goodbye.
Where's Lord Harris's butler?
Been hunting you all over town.
Wants to see you immediately.
No, can't he wait till morning?
Ah, the thing is,
he may not be around in the morning.
I'll get it.
How do you feel, Lord Harris?
Nurse.
Please, don't be too long.
Fetch me that book.
Match.
Pardon me, Lord.
Do you have a match?
Well, don't just stand there,
light the damn thing.
Come on, come on.
Do you think you should?
Of course I shouldn't,
but I won't tell anyone.
It's not what you're allowed in life,
it's what you can get away with, eh?
Take the damn thing.
I'll be virtuous.
No virtue like necessity.
Don't try to talk, Lord.
I want to talk, damn it,
that's why I had you brought here.
Oh, for heaven's sake,
just put it in one of the trophies.
Very first test, didn't it?
Your first cricket bat?
Very well, and who gave it to me?
I remember a small boy in Bombay
who told me his greatest ambition
was to wear the harlequin cap.
I recall his speech the night before he left
for the mother country to begin life's great adventure.
I watched him grow.
I watched him learn the game of empire.
I noted with pride his captaincy of Winchester,
and when he was chosen to play for his country,
no one was happier for you than I.
Then, when you were ready,
I saw to it that you became captain of England.
I recognized in you something that nobody else could see.
I saw a man imbued with the courage of his convictions,
a man who used justice when possible,
and who used severity when necessary.
Douglas, you know and I know
that the time for severity is now.
It will bring England back to her rightful place of supremacy
and the ashes back where they belong.
Now, you can do it.
You are a man of vision.
God knows there are too few of us left, but Douglas, don't falter.
Don't let the selectors or the lords or anyone else obscure that vision.
There are men who will oppose you,
but they are weak men, mean men.
They are frightened of your power.
Now, be hard. Be audacious.
Toe-zure, audace.
Get out, get out.
Shall I call the doctor?
Ah, that old leech keeper waiting for me to die.
Well, I won't give him the satisfaction.
Not until you've brought me back the ashes.
Get it right.
Well, my whole future hinges on this.
Got to get it right.
Turn it this level.
They don't give you a second chance.
There comes a time when you've got to get it right,
and when you've got it, nothing else comes close.
Yes, you must end right, right, right.
You must end right, right, right.

Oh, Madge, what a day at the office.
You'd better fire these hands.
Oh, it's dish washing. What can I do?
Well, everything. And use pummel of liquid.
It's mild on hands while you do dishes. You're soaking in it.
You're putting me on.
No, I'm putting you in.
Pummel is more than mild. It makes heaps of rich suds that last and last.
Madge, I love Palmolive. You deserve a promotion.
How about cheap filing, Clark?
Palmolive. Mild on hands while you do dishes.

The night Lord Harris lost his struggle for life, I lost Douglas.
Before he entered that room he was a man with a vision.
When he came out he was imbued with a sense of destiny.
There was no stopping him.
I'm sorry but this is impossible.
It leaves no room for my pace attack.
But these are the recommendations of your selection committee.
Yes sir, but it is I who must lead the team and determine its strategies.
Yes but...
...we know nothing of these strategies.
As one who's been in my present position Plum,
you will appreciate I'm sure that that is the captain's prerogative.
Yes, yes, but as captain I always listen to my selection committee.
Are you saying you know better than Plum than all of us?
In this matter sir, yes I am.
Well...
I could never agree to this team of yours.
I must support Plum.
Either I lead my team or I lead no team at all.
You cannot dictate terms to the M.C.C.
In that case my formal resignation will be in your hands tomorrow.
Good morning gentlemen.
What do we do now?
Plum...
you have to have a word with his father. Get him to talk to the boy.
I'm disappointed in you Douglas.
I'm sorry.
I'm disappointed in you Douglas.
You know that?
It's most distressing.
This misunderstanding between you and the M.C.C.
It's always been the way of things for the selectors to select the team.
And always the captain has decided on the tactics.
It's time for a new way of things. The old order is failed.
You have a tactical plan I take it.
I cannot carry out that plan without the strength and support of the team I want.
You yourself told me that things of value don't come by luck.
They're won by pain and sacrifice.
Malcolm Jardine saw that his son indeed had a vision.
He conveyed this to Warner who then reported back to the M.C.C.
The Lords were caught on the horns of a dilemma.
Perhaps Douglas could retrieve the ashes for them but at what cost?
Empire relations were already strained with both countries imposing trade tariffs
in what was the depth of the depression.
So it was that Plum Warner found himself summoned by Lord Hawke
to a meeting with the secretary to the King Sir Clive Wigram.
I understand you're having troubles with young Jardine.
Yes he's been devilish difficult but then again he clearly does have the solution to our Bradman problem.
Yes his Majesty is quite fond of young Bradman.
Of course he would like to see the ashes back in England.
It seems Jardine may be able to accomplish that.
I can't help feeling...
Well with Jardine as captain we may win the ashes but we may also lose a dominion.
We believe we have a remedy for that.
If we send along a strong team manager...
A man experienced in the rigors of touring cricket.
And a man loved by the Australians.
So Plum Warner became watchdog for the tour and Douglas got his team.
Those final weeks were as happy as anywhere it spent.
All the same I knew that this was the beginning of the end.
Not the end of my loving but the end of our being together.
I wanted him all for myself and I wished I could turn back the clock.
But I knew that was impossible.
I had lost Douglas to the service of King and country.
Like many another soldier sweetheart I prepared myself for the loss of my warrior.
That last night we spent together we agreed I should not see him off at the docks.
We had another unspoken agreement that we would not say goodbye.
Instead at dawn we said good night as we had many another sunrise.
Good night but not goodbye.
And we parted as friends.
I knew though that where Douglas was going he didn't need friends so much as he needed enemies.

A little more than a year ago things weren't sounding too good in Australia.
There was industrial conflict, economic recession, high unemployment and inflation.
Then with the accord the government and the union started to work together and we all learned to cooperate.
And there's been more industrial peace, economic growth, more jobs, falling inflation and harmony.
The result is a better Australia. Help keep it that way by keeping to the accord.
I'm engaged to be married.

This is the Gaumont British News presenting the homeland to the Dominion.
The MCC team leaves England.
Vice Captain Bob Wyatt and Middlesex fast bowler Gabby Allen arrive at Southampton docks to be met by skipper Douglas Jardine and team manager Plum Warner.
The MCC team is departing for Australia in an attempt to regain the ashes lost in 1930.
Will they prevail against the heat and the dust and the flies and above all against the Australian batting phenomenon Don Bradman?
Allen will form part of a formidable array of fast bowlers, men like left-hander Bill Bose and pride and nottingham Harold Lourwood.
Chatting with Yorkshireman Bill Bose, a late addition to the team.
Little Lancasterian Eddie Painter demonstrates his form with the bat.
Wicket keeper Leslie Ame seems to be offering valuable hints to Painter who's representing England abroad for the first time.
In the midst of economic turmoil, the bonds of empire are stronger than ever.
Bound for Australia on HMS Arantes is British Government representative Mr. Ernest Crutchley.
To all our far-flung people, I say let us get together and keep together and never drift apart.
We are of one stock. We share the same idea.
Let us go forward, side by side, helping each other over the rough patches and sharing the good things when they come.
A Commonwealth of nations with a Commonwealth of interests and affections.
Bye, Pinky. Bye-bye, guys.
Morning. Morning. Nice morning.
I was wondering, would you autograph my Herbert's bat?
I was telling my son, Herbert, if he works hard, there's no accounting for what a man can do.
I used to work in brickyards too, you know. Cricket's been good to you, pulling you out of all that, wasn't it?
Me, I'm emigrating. My home will still be following you, lads.
Oh, thank you.
You're a lucky lad getting good money to play cricket, aren't you?
You deserve it. Look at Harold Lawood, up front minds and Bilbo's.
I just wanted my Herbert to see you. You might be able to give the boy a bit of advice, you know, about how lucky you are.
Oh, I'm very lucky.
Did you see Legs-Aid painter? Never mind, old chap. We were all seasick on the tour of 1911.
The nine o'clock run, painter. Are you up to it?
Well, the boy's ill. Surely he can miss training for one morning.
No, no, I'm all right. I'll give it a go.
Good man.
Thank you very much, Mr. Painter.
I'll soon reckon you'll be looking with those last three of you.
Time for a run.
There were a woman who drove away. It was a bloody fire.
Excuse me, ladies. I hate to interrupt, but Mr. Allen and Mr. Wyatt have a prior engagement.
Mr. Douglas, it's not the running we object to. It's your boring sense of timing.
Yes, after all, it's a very attractive young lady's.
Yes. Well, I'm sure if your timing's good enough, you can win them both back.
Well, time will tell.
Drink? Why not?
Right.
Seven, 98, 99, 70. Right. Touchdown.
Who's Mr. Warner?
I'm not that Mr. Warner.
Hey, Mr. Warner, Zinus is arriving.
Is Patty arriving?
Yes. She's just come up.
Come on, let's go and get your daddy. I want to see that.
All right.
My dear Douglas, what an adventure we have before us. I'm looking forward to some fun.
We have a real battle ahead of us, Patty.
Good. I've had a superb season. My eyes in, my arm is strong, and I promise you at least one century.
Excellent. I need all I can get.
Good shot.
Oh!
I saw this, huh?
Come on, you guys.
I don't approve of what you're doing. You must remember what we're here for.
I know it's difficult under these circumstances. There is a time and a place for everything.
If you're going to play cricket, then play cricket.
Have fun, Lee.

I fear Douglas is making a mistake.
He's not taking the Australian conditions into account.
What are you saying? Now all this trotting around the deck.
He's pushing the men too fiercely too soon.
We'll need to be fierce.
True. But when I toured Australia in 1903 and in 1911,
I made sure the team had a jolly good time with it.
Both teams. And we won the ashes both times.
Yes, well the ground is so hard and the heat is debilitating.
Exactly. Think what that will mean to you five fast bowlers.
That's what I can't understand. Why so many fast bowlers?
I assume he has a plan.
Well, he certainly hasn't discussed his strategy with me.
Nor me, I assure you.
Well, don't look at me. I'm only the vice captain.
Douglas, I thought we should have a little talk.
Yes, isn't it? About what?
Strategy? Not yet.
Douglas, I'm one of five fast bowlers. I wonder what part you see me playing.
I'd like you to take as many wickets as you can.
Good heavens, man. Cubby is one of your fast bowlers.
Bob is your vice captain and I'm your team manager.
Surely we have a right to know. Well, of course you have.
But at the right time.
I should have thought the right time is now.
Plum, I am sorry. You simply must trust me.
Well, it's time for the four o'clock run.
See you later.
Good evening.
Really appreciate it.
And who do you bring before me, O Grey Nurse?
Four bounders for sentencing your witness.
What are they accused of?
Singing Australian songs to the shower.
Bring them forth.
Sir Plum of the pudding.

they say Bradman's got us licked
ah well
we'll see about that
they say if we can't beat them on the English pitches
what chance do we have on theirs?
ball faster sir
do you know what it's like in the Australian summer Boes?
the ground is hard, the pitch is slow
and kind to batsmen
and the Australian sun
well Harold will tell you, you'll lift to curse it
what is it you want of us Skipper?
I want you to bowl faster than you've ever done before
and more accurately
I will call upon you to do it hour after hour day after day

Australia contention in the ashes
you haven't got a chance of coming back in
it's a local character, Ernest Jones
used to be a fast bowler
I saw him break a batsman's rib once
now he just follows the Australian team around
Australia are dead certain for the ashes
England, go home
what can you expect from Australia?
get those shins and change your bastards with breadmen
gentlemen, we are entering the land of the barbarian
you're hiring me up, homie, like ass
joking aside, we of the Australian Cricket Board
are proud to make the first gesture of welcome to the English team
I would now like to call upon a great man of cricket
and a great man of empire
the MCC manager, Mr Bellum Warner
thank you Dr Robertson and members of the Australian Cricket Board
for those kind words of welcome
there are no better hosts nor no truer friends than Australians
I admire your sterling character
and have developed a healthy respect for your cricketer
you know the very word cricket has become a synonym for all that is true and honest
to say that he's not cricket implies something underhand
something not quite in keeping with the best ideals
and this is the aim of the Maribyrn Cricket Club
of which I am a humble if devoted member
to preach the gospel of British fair play as developed in its national sport
Bob, I'd like you to meet Jack Bingleton
Jack, Gabby Allen, Bob White, Damon Batsman
what's the clue to the five fast bowlers in there?
a journey
a bit of cricket as well
Gabby's one of the five fast bowlers, perhaps you care to answer
it seems to me that we'll spend most of our time carrying drinks
and drinking them
first test against the MCC
what does that badge mean?
it's our cricket board sir
they won't let Mr. Bradman play in the test
I'm sorry?
Mr. Bradman sir
they won't let him play
something wrong?
it appears Mr. Bradman will not be playing in the series
why not?
the Australian cricket board
the bureaucrats have struck again with the full force of their mediocrity
I beg your pardon
call on Cooper Associated Press
Bradman's writing for a newspaper
the board doesn't think it's cricket
what's he doing here?
the board in its wisdom will permit him to play in all the preliminary matches
but not the test matches
but the Robertson. this is true
yes I'm afraid sir
this is totally bizarre. I've travelled 12,000 miles to play against him
surely you're here to play against an Australian 11 not just an individual
yes well of course
you see the board does have a very strict policy in this matter
we do not approve the selection of any player for any test site who was also writing on that particular test series
is this decision irrevocable?
certainly not
it's entirely in Mr. Bradman's hands whether he plays or not
well what does he have to do?
simply promise not to write while he's playing in a test series
and have you discussed the matter with him?
the board is shortly meeting with Mr. Bradman in Sydney I trust we shall resolve the matter then
but Alan surely I don't have to remind you we're in the middle of a severe economic depression
people are reluctant to part with their money
they certainly won't do so if they can't watch Bradman
the game is more important than the individual
if we allow ourselves to be dictated to by players who knows where it will end
one day matches for the convenience of the press
later starting times to suit the radio stations
giving into Bradman could set an unhealthy precedent
well it'll be unhealthy if we lose money on this tour
and we will lose money if Bradman doesn't play
to the point we'll lose the test series if Bradman doesn't play
it isn't whether we win or lose
of course it's whether we win or lose
the Australian public doesn't want to see the English going home of the ashes
Mr. Bradman is here
oh send him in
just give us a minute though
well then we're agreed we can't back down
Alan before you're brie leave it to me
I know that when it comes to the crunch you'll want to play in the tests
morning Don. Dr. Robertson. come in come in
take a seat. cup of tea? no thanks
now Don as we as we explained to you at our last meeting
the situation with your present contract is a very delicate one
but Dr. Robertson I wrote to you about that months ago
as you requested what more can I do?
well you see our problem is Don that we can't approve the selection in a test
of any player who is writing about that series
I'm sure you will appreciate Don that it could be most disruptive
to have one member of the team commenting on the selection or performance
of any other member of the team
the problem is that only players whose sole occupation is journalism
are exempt from the ruling
yes and in your case you're also promoting sporting goods
and broadcasting on the wireless
well that makes three occupations
I have a three-way contract
part of which involves writing for the newspaper
it is a contract which I must honor
if that means giving up cricket then I will give up cricket
surely you can reconsider
no I came here today to ask the board to reconsider
it seems that I've failed
we can't have him dictating to this board
if we stand fast I know he'll back down
I'm not so sure
believe me the boy is bluffing
give him time let it work on him
he'll come around
don't let those fools on the control board get to you
they're just petty bureaucrats full of their own importance
I can't expect you to give up that newspaper contract
you earn half that money playing cricket
if they don't allow you to play because of some silly little rule
then millions of Australians will come down and drag them out of their offices
and throw them off the Sydney Harbour bridge
it's not just them
you know they all reckon he's mad bringing five fast bowlers out here
because our wickets are slow
but he's up to something and I don't know what it is

it was persistence and determination to succeed
which 150 years ago
led a group of Australians to develop our first industry
their efforts resulted in a huge expansion of jobs
in both the wool trade and other industries
today Australia still faces the challenge of providing employment
in tough and difficult times
ESSO's continued development of our oil resources
is also helping to create jobs
not just for those directly employed
but for others outside the oil industry
for our country to prosper
it's important we have developments which provide work for Australians
work which contributes to retaining over 60% oil self-sufficiency
and which ultimately rewards every Australian

it's about tactics for the tests
yes
well it's just that all this training on ship
and the occasional remarks you've made are so realistic
well we don't know how it is we're supposed to play
you're supposed to play the way you're told to
that's what I brought you here for
told you?
that's what we want to do Skipper but we'd like to know how and why
why? if I bloody well say so that's why
if you don't like it you can take the next boat back to England
that's all you can say now
I hardly think that can be right Skipper
a man deserves to know what's expected of him else how can he do his best as a bowler?
is that the way you feel as well Vos?
aye I'm with the lights
you Harold?
Mr Jardine I know you stuck up for me when others were against me
and I'm grateful to you for that
you know I'd do anything you asked me to do on a cricket field
but I do believe I'd do a lot better if I knew what you're after
very well sit down Oliver
come along
I'll take that thank you
thank you
now
thus far I've impressed upon you all the importance of accuracy
it must be systematic
we must concentrate our attack on one side of the wind
now look here
here's the wind
that's good
over
I believe we should attack the lake side
I shall back you up by placing a field something like this
we can keep up
I should place one or perhaps two men on the off side
here and here
then a couple in the deep
here and here
and the majority close in on the lake side
two leg slips
backward square leg
short forward square leg
and a very silly little
that's old-fashioned leg field
I don't just want to stop them scoring I want to get them out
that's why you must be accurate
I want to go short to make the ball rise up at the beds
if he hooks he risks being caught in the deep
if he defends he risks popping a catch up to the leg train
and if he doesn't get any...
well he risks getting hit
precisely no batsman likes being hit especially Brad
Harold you remember the oval in 1930
I thought we scored 232
but you're unsettled
now we must pull out all the stops
I want you to all bowl this form of leg theory at the trial match in Melbourne
right sounds good to me
short and fast and accurate
let's keep this to ourselves
Mr Allen I'll talk to Gabby I don't want you discussing this with anyone
I want this to come as a surprise to Mr Brent

as well

8.35 Monday on TED.
Mr. Wyatt, I'd like to change the field a bit.
Of course, Harold. What would you like?
Try some leg theory.
Well, Douglas said you might.
You've only got 50 on the board.
It seems a bit early.
It's not good.
Well, you're not going to have to do that.
I'll just take my time.
I've only got 50 on the board.
It seems a bit early to go on the defensive.
No, I want to go on the attack.
The ball may have lost its chime,
but the pitch is still lively.
I'd like two men in the deep
and four close in on leg side, please.
Seems a trifle existed.
Look, what if I give you one extra man close in?
Mr. Jardim wanted me to try it with more.
Skipper.
Four you say?
Nine. Please.
Gubby, short forward square leg please.
Bill, deep square leg. Walter, leg gully.
What's going on, Bob?
Well it seems that Douglas is only confided in the first pose.
I'm one of the first pose. He hasn't confided in me.
Then I suggest you ask Harold.
What's this?
Perhaps they're bowling at the batsman.
You all right?
Yes. Fine. Fine. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Fine.
Bastards. They are bowling at the batsman.
That's from my girl.
What's going on?
My Jesus.
Where would you like us to field this time, Bob? Normal positions please.
Mr. Wyatt.
That's Harold, thank you.
What's this?
See, Clarence? Try not to get hit.
That's it!
Is it true that you went fishing?
Ah, fishing, so I heard.
He's a strange one, that.
He keeps himself to himself, that's all.
Well, he was rad about those leg theory tactics, wasn't he, Rowan?
Aye.
He knows what he's doing all right.
Oh, Mr. Warner.
Have you seen the newspapers?
I'm rather worried about what the Australian press is saying about our bowling tactics.
I'm not interested in what the Australian press is to say.
Well, it's just that they suggest that our tactics are...
that they could cause a nasty accident.
Oh, none of my tactics is accidental.
My dear fellow, you don't understand.
They are saying that we are deliberately trying to hit the batsman.
This could cause considerable friction for us.
Well, that is a managerial problem within your realm, Tom.
I am here to win the ashes.

Wendy Turnbull, Billie Jean King and Pam Shriver.
The most electrifying players in the world contest one of Australia's great sporting events.
The McDonald's Women's Indoor Tennis Tournament
from Wednesday, July 25th through to Saturday, July 28th,
televised exclusively on Network 10, continuing to serve up the best.
It just seems to me it was simply a lively wicket that day.
Then of course there was the rain.
In Melbourne there's always the rain.
Yes, there was the rain and it was a lively wicket,
but I played a lot of cricket on lively wickets
and I know that that bowling was part of a premeditated plan of attack.
I am sure that Mr Jardine would not consciously engage in any form of play
that would threaten the fine tradition of test cricket.
Mr Jardine will do what he has to do in order to win the ashes.
Are you suggesting that these tactics are against the rules?
I'm suggesting that these tactics are against the spirit of the game.
Thank you for your concern, Don. We'll certainly look into it.
We face a very dangerous situation
and if you don't act on it now, somebody will get killed.
That's a trifle dramatic, surely.
Don, Don, we're here to discuss the matter of your writing during the tests.
You don't seem to understand how dangerous this thing can be.
This ball weighs five and a half ounces.
A fast bowler like La Wood propels it towards the batsman at 100 miles an hour.
That gives the batsman a fraction of a second
to decide whether to play the ball or get out of the way.
What do you think about the English boy?
What did you on the board talk about?
Cricket.
Don, are you all right?
I'm all right.
Don, are you all right?
Hello, Dr. Robertson.
I'd like you to know you won't have to make a decision
regarding my husband in the first test.
The doctor's just seen him and decided that he's unfit to play.
Here's Dr. Peters now.
Dr. Robertson, Brian Fenton.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
No, no, no.
Dr. Robertson, Brian Peters here.
I just...
Grab him to his first test!
Lower his condition!
Grab him to his first test!
Douglas!
It's been confirmed.
Bradman is definitely not playing today.
Jolly bad luck for Bradman of course.
Still every cloud has a silver lining.
Makes our job that much easier.
My tactics were evolved specifically to deal with him.
Yes well now that he's out of the way we can ease up on our Melbourne attack
and return to more orthodox methods of play.
Plum I've told you before I'm not interested in the reaction of the Australian press
or the public.
I shall play the way I choose with or without Bradman.
Douglas I only meant that we should take advantage of the goodwill that already exists.
Public relations is your concern.
I shall take care of the cricket.
Plum
I'm not here to win friends.
I'm here to win the ashes.
Tell us.
Sorry Douglas.
How they go back?
Yes I thought you might.
Well good luck though.
Thanks Douglas.
Have the best day and win.
Oh yes.
Excuse me.
That's alright thank you.
Thanks very much.
On behalf of Radio Station TUE welcome to the Sydney Cricket Ground on this fine second of December.
It's certainly a day which every cricket fan in Australia has been waiting for since 1928-29
when the English cricket team last visited our shore.
On that occasion they took the ashes back to England with them.
Let's hope the team will do as well.
Thousands and thousands of cricket lovers are streaming into the Sydney Cricket Ground on this
the first day of the first test between England and Australia.
Despite the loss of Don Bradman, Captain Woodfall will lead a strong team of experienced crates
Ponsford, Grimmett, Oldfield, Kippax and Richardson.
And the youngster Jack Fingleton is playing his first test.
So Stan McKay in 1930 will be playing his first test in Australia.
You're dressing for the Hickfinger?
For the Skonners Napper.
Your mum coming?
She won't be here mate.
First test against England?
She saw the game last week.
After seeing me hit everywhere with the roof of my mouth and the soles of my feet
she said she's never coming again.
Hello there. I'm Alan Harvey. London.
I usually cover tennis actually.
Oh. Sorry. This is my first test.
That's my only hat.
Oh for goodness sake a dog!
Now you be quiet alright?
He's alright. Look.
He's the champion.
He said he'll round up anything.
Come on!
We'll see them afterwards.
Oh quick that's the up high. Come on.
Excuse me.
Here we go.
The Co-op, South Australia's largest living society, is cooperating with more home loans than ever before.
Family home, unit or villa, tray modern or a thriller. You got it right.
Cooperation.
And did you know about Co-op's travel service and their Christmas club?
Seems they're open longer.
Interest rates are stronger.
You've got it.
Right.
Cooperation.
Co-op has a whole range of investment and saving opportunities.
Even cash in the middle of the night. How about a check for the electric light?
A personal one. Do right.
The right cooperation.
The Co-op. Now that's the right cooperation.
Beautiful hair. I wonder how old she is.
Over 40. I'm proud of it.
Now there's no age limit to looking good. Now there's new Affinity. At last a shampoo created specially for hair over 40.
It works wonders. You'll notice the difference immediately.
Affinity actually helps reduce breaking and thinning. Affinity brings back body and leaves your hair shiny and full of life.
Try new Affinity shampoo.

How many ways does your family enjoy Arnott's Cruskets, the puffed and toasted criss-bread?
Ideal for breakfast because Arnott's Cruskets are ready toasted.
Just great for a light lunch and low on kilojoules.
Light enough to enjoy between meals.
And topped with grilled cheese, Arnott's Cruskets make a delicious late supper snack.
There are just so many ways to enjoy Cruskets, the light and crispy criss-bread from Arnott's.
This is Charles Bronson like you've never seen him before.
And you won't believe what happens to him from noon till three.
There's the romance, the comedy and the Bronson western action.
As our hero misses out on a bank job but fills in his time with romance and adventure and some very showy laughs.
It's a husband and wife team like no other.

Thanks Bobby. Thanks Bobby.
As skipper Jardine leads his team onto the field we're reminded of what great names are included.
Vice Captain Wyatt has been an English skipper.
Herbert Sutcliffe and Wally Hammond will undoubtedly go down in the history of sport as cricket immortals.
Australian born Gabby Allen is now a top amateur.
And of course there's the fierce and awesome talent of that great bowler Harold Lywood, the Nottingham professional.
And for those of you who are not familiar with Lywood, he's not very tall, only five feet nine in height.
But in the world of cricket he's right on top of fast bowling.
We see him now approaching Jardine who examines the pitch before commencing his field placings.
And the applause from the huge crowd as the Australian Aitkening pair Woodville and Ponsford make their way down to the gate.
And the applause from the big crowd follows.
Well Woody, here you go again.
Yeah.
Oh Mum's made your favourite chocolate cake.
She said you're only to get a piece if you're still in at lunch.
Got the armadice?
Certainly has.
I'll be there.
Good luck mate, I'll take Lywood.
Good luck Woody.
Keep your head down.
Morning Bill.
Hey Gabby, lovely day for us.
Yeah.
Middle and leg thanks George.
That's fine now Wally.
That is centre and leg.
Right arm over Bill.
Yes.
Yes, come out.
Woodville opens the scoring for Australia with a single. The two Bills, the great opening pair Woodville and Ponsford out there in the middle with all Australia right behind them.
Come on Woody.
Yes.
It's a good solid start for Australia with Ponsford on 10 and Woodville on 4.
There's a firm strike again from Ponsford. It could be a couple more with Jardine racing right up to the boundary.
They're not scoring all that quickly but the crowd doesn't mind that and both batsmen are starting to look quite confident.
In Australia no wicket for 16. The opener is Woodville and Ponsford looking solid against the fast attack of Lywood and Vase.
Over.
Ponsford has not stopped the first four of the innings and Jardine once again chased the ball all the way to the boundary and he hasn't moved back even though it's the end of the over. England's captain looks deep in thought.
Try some leg theory please Harold. Short forward square leg please.
Herbert leg slip. Wally leg gully. Bill second leg slip. Patty.
Now it's on the young and old.
So Jardine has decided to use this unusual placement and this is my first opportunity to speak about the packed onside field which we saw for the first time in Melbourne last week.
There are wide open spaces on the offside and the criticism of this leg theory is that the fast bowlers Lywood and Vase appear to aim directly at the batsmen rather than the stumps.
And my question for Jardine, he's not trying to bowl them out, how does he expect to dismiss experienced batsmen like Woodville, Ponsford and McCabe?
Woodville has the strike and Lywood ready to start this first over with the new packed field on the onside.
It's short and Woodville's been hit, he made no real attempt to get away from that ball and it struck him on the shoulder, on the left shoulder.
Lywood just glares down the pitch and goes back to his bowling mark.
The fieldsman crowding in.
Lywood racing up at top speed.
And this one's a real thunderball and Woodville ducking down as it goes through to the keeper.
The whole character of this game has changed in two balls.
A moment ago the batten were right on top.
But Lywood plus this new field has brought a different complexion to this test match.
Woodville ready. Lywood again.
And he's played it away and yes he'll get runs here.
This gives the crowd something to cheer.
They've taken one, they've called for a quick second.
They return a missfield there, they're turned and dived by Woodville but he's safe and two more to Australia.
It's a left-arm ball of Vos to come in from the far end.
He'll bowl here to Ponsford and Ponsford's been hit.
That was a nasty one going right on the walls.
Ponsford for the first time has been hit.
Ponsford tending to walk across in front of his stumps.
Vos hasn't got the real pace of Lywood but he's fairly quick.
Ponsford displaces one of our lots so they'll look for a single.
And it will bring Woodville down to face the left-arm ball of Vos.
Woodville at the hand they call the unbow.
He has to pull away from that one.
Woodville's short, about chest high, right over the top of the middle stump.
Vos again. Woodville gets an edge, has he?
It's gone to the keeper, there's an appeal for course behind.
Woodville is he out? Yes, Woodville is out.
There he is.
Get down there.
Ponsford's barely won for 22 and it's the youngster Fingleton
in his first Test match to join Ponsford.
To a bat at number three, the spot usually occupied by Don Bratton.
The wicket fell off the last ball of the over
and Ponsford will be taking strike here to a new over from Lywood.
No ball so far on the last few overs has been pitched up on a length.
Lywood going right to the edge of the return crease.
Oh, it's again Ponsford has struck.
Anyone for tennis?
Will Ponsford determined to get right inside the line of flight here.
He's going right in front of his stumps.
Here's Lywood and Ponsford goes back to the stump.
Plays on the onside, gets a run.
He's called them through and they've taken a single.
Yes, they'll be three for one. Nice return but well run.
Now that brings Fingleton to face his first ball.
The youngster looking pretty nervous to me.
He'll be looking for that first run.
Here's a rocket from Lywood that's just a few more minutes up the waste of must have hit.
He's just rubbing the spot there,
thinking and learning very quickly what Test match cricket's all about.
He's got it in his chest.
Fingleton goes down over his bat again.
Facing the fastest man in the world.
Up comes Lywood.
Fingleton plays his nervous looking shot.
He might get a run. He's called free by Ponsford.
They go through.
Ponsford a very streaky shot.
That's a sequence of four straight short pitch balls with one in the middle that was on the stumps.
Now what will Lywood do this time?
He's bowling to Ponsford and Ponsford goes across and he's gone right out and his leg stump's been knocked out of the ground.
Ponsford went too far across and Ponsford's been bowled.
He goes and chucks it down.
Well, you caused quite a stir in the house today.
Oh, how do you mean?
When you did the dusting.
The dust you stirred up has settled again.
Use these, my girl.
New Chucks Easy Dusters.
They're impregnated with a gentle oil to trap and pick up all the dust.

They're not called Easy Dusters for nothing.
It's one of those days you can tell from the start.
It's one of those days

The game's not over for the A-Team.
7.30 Monday on 10.
Oh!
What a major turnabout here at the critic ground
and that's not good news for Australia.
Ever since Jardine altered his field
and the Bulbers started using leg theory,
Australia has collapsed.
Woodford, Ponsford, Fingleton, Kipax, all out.
It's 4 for 72 and now McCabe joins Richardson at the crease.
Come on, Vic, let's give these ponies some stick.
Middle thing's umpy.
A little to the on.
Right.
Come on.
Rabbit stuff.
Come on.
Yes!
Come on!
Come on.
Stan McCabe has captured the hearts of every man, woman and child at this ground.
He's 77 now.
He's taken some risks, but can he go on in face of this English attack
and score a century?
Today, Stan McCabe has taken over the mantle of Don Draggon.
Come here.
Leave Harold for a while.
Happy to, Douglas, but I'm not bowling to this field.
You'll bowl as I tell you to bowl.
It's bad enough having to feel to it.
I won't bowl that way.
You will if you want to play.
I'll be a little more careful.
I won't bowl that way.
You can't threaten me.
Do you want to play or not?
Edley.
The crowd wiles with excitement.
McCabe is 97.
Another three to make one of the greatest centuries ever seen on this ground.
He's taken many chances, but surely Dane Fortune will smile on him
for just three more runs.
Yes!
I got away with it this time.
I was just lucky.
I'm going to do it again.

At lunch on the second day of the first test,
Australia all out first innings for 360,
and of these no less than 187 to Stan McCabe.
And his batting on this second morning
was just sensational.
Now it's England's turn,
and can Hamm Hammond, Sutcliffe & Company
and the newcomer Potowdy do as well as the Australians.
The cream of England's batsmen.
I know that none of you is seeking personal glory,
that you each share my philosophy of cricket
as a game for 11 aside.
I shan't try to lecture you on batsmanship,
the condition of the wicket and so on.
You're all prepared for that.
Herbert?
Well, perhaps you should be offering me advice.
Bob?
This is your first time here,
and your first time as opener.
I know that you'll rise to the occasion.
Walter?
I recall that you were described
as the greatest batsman in the world.
I know that you'll live up to that.
As for Your Highness,
I counted an honour
to be your friend as well as your captain.
May this be a glorious test they do for you.
What can I say?
Though all we made depart,
the old commandment stand.
In patience, keep your heart.
In strength, lift up your hand.
Mmm.
Good game!
Well done, Alan.
Well done.
We've got some people now.
Do you think we can ease up a bit
on the short pitch bowling
and the leg theory?
Not while Mr. Bradman is up there watching.
Like an avenging demon,
Lywood has taken 5 for 28,
and Australia is all out for 164.
At the close of play,
the final 10 total of 524
is exactly the same
as England's huge first innings.
This means that England has to score
one run only tomorrow morning
to win the first test,
an unhappy prospect for Australia.
I'm just going to pay a shilling to say that tomorrow.
I am.
You would too if you believed in our boys.
I've got one.
Never know.
And so, with the absence of Bradman,
England triumphs in the first of the five tests in stock.
The critical questions are,
will Bradman be fit for the second test stock?
If so, will the cricket board
allow him to continue to play stock?
And finally, will Jardine's men
continue bowling on the line of the body stock?
That'll be three and fourpence, thank you.
God, you left me cat behind.
Could you just send that off, dear?
I'll go back and get me wallet.
I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to do that.
Look, if I don't send that off,
I'll miss the deadline.
How much is it?
Three and fourpence.
How's that?
Your fourpence's short.
That's all I've got.
And how are your threepence?
I'm sorry.
All right, I can lose a few words.
How many do I have to lose?
Three.
Right-o.
Change the line of the body to body line.
That's two words.
No, it's not, madame, it's one.
Body line?
Body line.
I'm sorry.

Dr. Robinson, I can't play cricket forever.
I've got to think of a career.
And if cricket interferes with my career,
then I must give up cricket.
Now, I'm afraid that's final.
Goodbye.
Good night, Chuck.
Mr. Packer's busy.
Hello, Chuck.
Mr. Packer's busy.
You want to see me?
We're in big trouble.
You heard about the board's decision.
They're not going to let him play
because he's going to honor his contract to you.
You know, they're cutting off their nose to spite their face.
Could be an improvement, eh?
It's not doing our cricket any good.
Bradman's our one chance at keeping the ashes.
The whole of Australia worships the man.
It's not just Sydney.
It's all a lot of them have got to brighten up their lives.
Many of them haven't even got a job.
By jingos, they've got their national pride.
It's our sporting men and women who feed that pride.
The Pommies had to change the rules of billiards to try to stop Walter Lindrum.
The Yanks murdered Fowler.
And now our own Australian cricket board is trying to nobble Bradman.
There are some fine batsmen on the Aussie team.
I'm not denying that.
But without the Don, we might as well burn the Bales now
and hand the ashes to Jardine on a silver platter.
I know.
I know I don't have to tell you how hard times are.
Your newspapers carry stories every day of the destitute, the unemployed,
the helpless, the homeless, the heartache.
It's a grim picture.
We're a nation on the verge of losing all hope.
Now you can't deny us a fellow Australian who triumphs in the teeth of adversity.
This country needs heroes, and that's what Don Bradman is.
Our hero.
Gentlemen, when Don Bradman was offered a contract to play cricket in England,
I gave him a job so he could stay here and play for Australia.
Now you're holding my contract against him and all Australia.
Don't you realize what Bradman means to this country?
We'd like nothing better than to have Don play.
But the board is restrained by standing orders.
In other words, gentlemen, you want me to carry the baby for you yet again.
Well, Don, these gentlemen aren't keen on your writing for me, it seems.
There's nothing in my agreement with them which obliges me to play cricket.
But my contract with you is very firm, Mr. Packer.
You can force me to write.
Oh, I realize that.
But I want you to forget writing for the time being.
That's right, Don.
I'm releasing you from the contract.
You can play in the tests if you want to.
In that case, Mr. Packer, hold play.
At last.
I have come 12,000 miles for this.
Just got there tomorrow and hit him for six.
At last, Don Bradman has the chance to face Jardine and the dreaded attack called Bodyline.
Your obsession with Bradman has clouded all your decision making.
I want you fit for Adelaide.
Fitter, faster and meaner than you've ever been.
Great cheers for Don Bradman. Hip, hip.
Hooray.

Good evening.
You know, I quoted or rather deliberately misquoted somebody the other night when I presented Red River on something that's important to me.
The man I misquoted was Don Faven, whose book Creativity I used as an example of something I've always been trying to prove.
That a lot of the fun of television lies in your being a creative viewer.
Now, Don Faven says in Creativity that what stops a lot of people from being creative is that they only see the commonplace in the familiar.
And if you don't expect to find the commonplace in the familiar or you go beyond the commonplace, you often find extraordinary riches.
Such is the case with tonight's film Storm Fear, which is of interest for several reasons.
One of them is the soundtrack score by Ilmar Bernstein, which is very much a score of the 50s and one of his earliest major scores.
The screenplay by Horton Foote. Now, Horton Foote's screenplay from a novel by Clinton Sealy has pretensions at times that remind me of Eugene O'Neill and Henrik Ibsen.
I would like to get any of you to write to me about this one because those elements are there.
It's a very intelligent script which de-glamorizes characters that are often much more glamorous in presentation and in performance when you see them on the screen.
Another reason I like this film is the claustrophobic interiors throughout. Beautiful production designed by Rudi Feld.
And when the characters get outside, they become insignificant. So many interesting tangents to the characterization.
Cornel Wilde is one of the leading characters, Charlie. Cornel Wilde also directed the film and it's a credit to him.
He did such a good job turning familiar elements into something rather special.
And that's Cornel Wilde's wife, Jean Wallace, with him. A rather unusual actress. Both of them stripped of glamour.
Absolutely stripped of any glamour or contrivance. And that's what makes their characters so desperately interesting.
The little boy you see there is David Stollery. He is very effective too. In the cast also we have Dennis Weaver,
Lee Grant, who is almost unrecognizable, Stephen Hill, who plays Benji, a really vile character, and also, I mentioned Dennis Weaver to you,
Dan Durrier, playing the part of Cornel Wilde's brother. Interesting people, a whole lot of interesting features.
Study the credits. In black and white this film is really one not to be taken lightly. It's got so much going for it. Seek and you shall find.
