'from the ashes'....

[janzman]

...just watched on catch-up this little gem of a 'docufilm' hidden away at 8pm last night on ITV4.
For me as a lifelong lover and devotee of Test Match Cricket,the film filled in so much background to the 1981 Ashes Series.I was living abroad at the time and while I knew what had happened and seen videos of 'Both and Bob' many times I' d never seen the build up so to get the detail of that remarkable series was just a pure delight.
Have you seen it Steve5 or Philtaz or anyone else....

janzman,
No, didn't see it but thanks very much for the heads up, I'll see about getting it via the ITV Player over the weekend.

Did you see the one about the Afghan National Cricket team on BBC 3 a few weeks back? Inspirational stuff.

No longer available via the iPlayer but found it on YouTube.

A great story showing just how much sport can inspire and unite people.
