Cricket isn't a religion

How old are you sir?

@@Stokesy- I am now 73 years young and getting fitter each day through eating animal protein and exercising frequently. I do not eat carbohydrates or sugars (or seed oils, which are poisonous and found in all manner of highly-processed substances bought by and consumed by fools as 'food').

Same here. I played in the 90s in India. Grateful I was born in the 80s.

@@Stokesy- I was 70 when I wrote that comment. I am now 73.

@@alangeorgebarstow I am 16 but I hate this generation no one can live without mobiles or computers everyone is addicted to mobiles and most of the kids don't play outside they just play with mobiles or stay home full day I loved when mobiles were not there I used to play cricket with my friends then but now I feel alone I wish I could go back in time in 90s or 80s

If you are a romantic of the cricket game you should read Dr. Ram Chandra Guha non- fiction book on the how the game began in India and its origins in India named " A small corner of a foreign country ". That could be better for a Indian fan. Because Dr. Guha first wanted to be a professional cricketer but have turned out to be India 's outstanding historian and now he has written " The Commenweath of Cricket ".

I hope you felt better later.

Who’s telling him guys 😇?

Looked like Bill Bose was in this as well as a reporter in the Lord's Press room

Bowes , yes , it was .

NAPPLEB25 this is lords, where only the most privileged in society would go. elsewhere there were slums, disease, rationing and shortage. pollution was so bad that a smog in 1952 killed hundreds of Londoners.

Ee Bah Gum, we were appy though.

Back in my day... well if you ask them they’d say things are a million times better now.

@@berbatov3890 You are a prick

@@youngguy1992 Really! You are also a prick

Hard comment, indeed, but the lest bad expressed. In other words: THE WHOLE TRUTH...

Well you are one of the millions who just sat and watched it all happen, well done, british apathy is legendary.

bless your heart old geezer

So good to see this video

😂Players fighting over stumps

Totally agree. Two great countries with such strong ties. Blame liberal socialist, for everything.

Don’t know about our ANZAC cousins, but the UK is unrecognisable and definitely down the pan… nothing like what was recorded here any more!

@@jpip1382 ANZACS are experiencing massive wokism. They aren't dealing with it too well either.

Millions of Poms showed their faith in Britain by...becoming expats(!) The biggest group of them now being in Australia - but even that wasn't good enough, hence the expression 'whingeing pom.' And you should have seen their teeth.

​@@lee4171what's wokism?

Dont quite agree, its the diversity in all countries that makes this game so big - a true "test"

That was how I was taught the length of a Chain: 22 yards, the length of a cricket pitch.

That's not out watch it in .25

+56bluegold Yes, and no. Yes for some no for a lot of people in England and elsewhere. Times have changed for better in most cases: Healthcare, Prosperity for most and technical advancement for all. Each era brings its own good and evil. People are not isolated anymore. Most people do find time and resources to travel and enjoy.

+56bluegold If we had internet and smart phones etc in the 1950's it would have been heaven . LOL.

+amoralis123 A good answer, and I'd say, the only realistic one. I grew up during the 40's onwards, and remember the shortages and rationing up to 1954. BUT--our freedom to roam was wonderful. Our parents never worried about our safety, as we would be in our local park most days, from morning till almost dark, when the 'Keeper' would sound the Bell and lock the gates. As hardships etc were shared by all those we lived and played with, we were not aware of being deprived at all.

People live to a higher standard: they can afford to go on holiday to a foreign country; most families own at least one vehicle; modern convenience such as television; mobile phones; computers; the wealth and choice of entertainment; working conditions and more. All these things have changed our lives for the better. We have not sent our sons to war on the scale of the two industrial-scale meat-grinders in the 1 half of the 20th Century, but then that is only because if this were to happen today, civilisation would be bombed to extinction. Despite the recent pandemic disease is under the tightest grip from our medical technology that it has ever been, even to the point where science now begins to entertain the possibility of legitimate age-delay and even age-reversal within the lifetimes of anyone aged around 40 or younger. Violent crime falls more and more all the time unless you live in a major city centre. But community; togetherness; the feeling that one can walk through one's own neighbourhood without risk or leave one's front door unlocked without fear; I cannot help but feel that many, or most people who lived then and who still live now would exclaim those times to have given them something they no longer have. A sense of place, belonging, a firm feeling of roots. The creep of Shariah - an ultra-conservative ideology from Islam - I cannot imagine is taken as a positive for very many of the descendants of the people in this video. To lose one's job back then often meant little more than a day's, or weekend's, inconvenience. Today, the loss of one's job can mean disaster. The pace of life in days gone by, even in my own living memory, was noticeably more relaxed, everyone was, while always with work to do, nevertheless seemingly more at liberty to press on in their own time rather than someone else's. Other things have changed for which most could claim neither for the better nor the worst, more a sideways step. A change with some will prefer one way or t'other, but on the whole is split evenly. Birth control; Women having careers on the one hand is good, on the other hand affects many more children than ever as millions of children now come home from school to an empty house where neither parent (if they are lucky enough to still have both parents living together) will arrive home for hours. Increased freedom of movement is a plus, but this does mean more people take opportunities further afield, which uproots entire families leaving some feeling isolated from what might have been their community hub once upon a time, but then again such a community as existed once upon a time invariably does not exist today as once it did. There is much to lament in the passing of the old world, while simulataneously much to be grateful for in the coming of the new. I only wish for a slight recalibrating of what we have rather than its wholesale demolition as is being attempted by more radical portions of far left & far-right ideological camps even as we speak.

Blame it all on a faster pace of life ,space exploration, rocket age, Artificial intelligence 🤣😂😂🤣, look in the 21 century we have T - 20, so fast spaced.In a country like India which is not rich in educational insitutions or standards we have IPL tournaments which is a sear waste of money and time, for a young generation. Causing great harm to environment( Because these tournaments need lawn turf and scarce water is needed).In a scenario where climate change is occurring this is preposterous.

Yes, I suspected that it was the 1948 series. By the time they processed the film, edited, added commentary, etc it didn't get in to cinemas until 1950, although that still seems that it took a bit too long.

Interestingly scorer counted only Don's ball in both innings Shows how great he was.

Test matches are still five days.

I'm not sure but that may have still been the era of unrestricted cricket matches, when they weren't limited to a certain number of days. They would simply keep playing until the end of the fourth innings of the game and so always get a result. The downside was that sometimes the game took so long that it would have to be curtailed in order for the touring team to catch their ship back home.

@@kiwitrainguy Wrong. They were five day tests.
