So many legends. Benaud. Trueman. Staitham. Davidson. Barrington. On and on you could name them.
The Legendary Bob Simpson at 1:56. The man who came back to the side from retirement at the age of 43 and became the top scorer of the India-Australia series 1977-78.
Wow, colour! This is brilliant.
English county cricket are the best look at the atmosphere , freezing cold the entire conditions looks lovely to play all day
I never thought I would ever see Freddie Trueman hitting a six !
Well known old players. Good to watch.
Very nice golden memories ! ✌
MCC make the sun rise, the birds sing, the wind blow.
I still remember by old days getting hit every where when your in the crease 😀 bright sunny afternoon
The Gabba is completely unrecognisable.
And those pitches which are not to hard
Fake clapping gets on my nerves. Cameras with sync sound were already available in 1962.
