[ad_1] The Melbourne Cricket Ground (Image: Subhayan Chakraborty) Given that Test cricket goes back nearly 150 years, it seems almost laughable to talk of the Boxing Day Test as a tradition. It became an annual affair only in 1980, once Kerry Packer’s Channel 9 acquired the TV rights to Australian cricket. And even then, the response was far from overwhelming. In 1981, on one of the greatest days of cricket ever played – Kim Hughes making 100 not out in a total of 198, and Dennis Lillee clean-bowling Viv Richards as West Indies finished on 10/4 – there were only 39,982 watching inside the cavernous Melbourne Cricket Ground, or the G as its regulars call it. When India first played on Boxing Day, in 1985, the crowd was a pitiful 18,146, reflecting both how weak Australian cricket was at the time, and how lowly rated Kapil Dev’s team were as tourists. How very different things are now. These days, Boxing Day is as central to the Australian sporting calendar as the Melbourne Cup, Aussie Rules’ Grand Final and the final weekend of the Australian Open. In 2013, as Michael Clarke’s side pulverised England en route to yet another 5-0 Ashes whitewash, a crowd of 91,112 thronged to the G on Boxing Day. take a sneak peak into team India’s practice session in Melbourne ahead of the Boxing Day Test. @debasissen #AUSvINDIA #AUSvIND #bordergavaskartrophy2024 #BGT2025 pic.twitter.com/IRrTResR2i — RevSportz Global (@RevSportzGlobal) December 21, 2024   The last four ‘normal’ India Tests on Boxing Day have all drawn crowds in the region of 70,000. Because of Covid-19 restrictions, only 27,615 made it past the turnstiles in 2020. Expect thrice as many this year, especially with it very likely being the last Australia tour for Virat Kohli, who many Australian say reminds them of one of their own. Make no mistake, the MCG on Boxing Day is as close as cricket gets to gladiators inside the Colosseum in ancient Rome. The towering stands – from the top of the Great Southern Stand, now renamed after the late, great Shane Warne, the players can look like ants – the quality of the light (unless it’s grey and rainy) and the animation of the crowd makes it a sports-watching experience like few others. From the fancy-dress costumes to the beer snakes and the snarky comments from Bay 13, there’s little danger of anyone taking a nap, so vibrant is the holiday ambience. And this time, there’s a place in the World Test Championship final up for grabs as well. Australia are the reigning champions, but two bad results over the holiday fortnight and they’ll need to climb a mountain – or Sigiriya Fort – in Sri Lanka to qualify. As for India, there is no margin for error. Lose in Melbourne and the players will almost certainly be watching the Lord’s final from their couch or a hospitality box. For once, what’s at stake matches the sense of occasion. It should be one heck of a contest, with India returning to the scene of one of their most famous victories, the match after they had been rolled over for 36 in Adelaide.

Also different markets had different season lengths. The US was 22 episodes for syndication (which I still really don't know what that means). The UK was happy with 6 - 50 depending whether the show was a soap or something else (comedy, science fiction, variety show, etc).

When Red Dwarf finally got to their 22 episodes, they syndicated in the US.

Australian shows ran anywhere between 8 to 50 depending on the show format (soap, comedy, short story) with no need for syndication either.

Different rules for each market also dictated show length is what I'm saying, and outside the US, how things worked didn't make a lot of sense to us. Shows were as long as they needed to be, and sometimes were just murdered by TV execs who found out what type of show was being made with their money.

See Kerry Packer taking Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos off-air part-way through their first episode:

"Kerry Packer, the owner of the Nine Network at the time, was informed of the show's content by friends while having dinner. He tuned in to watch the show, which was being transmitted on TCN-9, and was so offended by its content that he phoned the studio operators and angrily shouted, "Get that shit off the air!". Within minutes, the programme was pulled.[3] Viewers saw a Nine Network bumper interrupt the programme with an announcement about there being "a technical problem" before beginning a rerun of the American sitcom Cheers, which filled the remaining airtime."

downsizing seasons from 22 episodes to 13 to 8. describing miniseries as "8 hour movies". loudly declaring that shows with 20+ episodes per season cannot truly be good. complaining that "it couldve been a movie". complaining about filler episodes. complaining about bottle episodes. complaining about episodes that prioritize character over plot. fr i think y'all just dont like television

Indian spin great Bishan Bedi dies aged 77 | Cricket

Indian spin great Bishan Bedi dies aged 77 | Cricket https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLR5VAib5OI Bishan Bedi, the India cricket great whose dazzling left-arm spin claimed 266 test wickets, has died. He was 77. The death of Bedi, who underwent multiple surgeries over the last two years that included a knee operation a month ago, was confirmed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India on Monday. Bedi was part of the famous Indian spin quartet with Bhagwath Chandrasekhar, Erapalli Prasanna and Srinivas Venkataraghavan in the 1970s. He grabbed his 266 wickets in 67 test matches, but played only 10 ODIs between 1974-79, picking up seven wickets. He took 1,560 first-class wickets — the most by any Indian bowler ever — playing for various teams including Delhi and Northern Punjab in India and Northamptonshire in England. He is survived by his wife and two children. Bedi made an impressive test debut in a series against Australia in 1969-70 when he picked up 21 wickets. He kept on troubling other major test playing nations like West Indies and England before eventually succeeding Mansoor Ali Khan as India skipper in 1976. His first win as test captain came at Port-of-Spain when India chased down a historic 406. He led India 22 times in total, winning six of them. Known for wearing colorful patkas and a graceful delivery hiding devastating variety, Bedi was outspoken on the field and often got embroiled in controversies. In 1976 he declared India’s second innings early at Kingston to protest intimidatory bowling by Caribbean fast bowlers. With three Indian batters already out of the game after being hit by West Indies pacers, Bedi claimed there weren’t enough fit players available to come out and bat. West Indies eventually won the test match by 10 wickets. Bedi also criticized Sri Lanka spin great Muttiah Muralitharan for his bowling action. He refused to compete in Kerry Packer’s lucrative World Series Cricket in 1978 and claimed that he was approached by the rebel cricket league.

Packer and James Packer were well aware of the ramifications of such a move.

"Westpac: The Bank That Broke the Bank" - Edna Carew

[georgefairbrother]

Remembering Sir Michael Parkinson, who passed away August 16th, 2023, aged 88.

From his Australian series, one of Parky's more interesting and intense encounters was with media mogul Kerry Packer, who had bankrolled the rebel Word Series Cricket competition in the late 70s. Packer was famously intimidating and, despite earning a large portion of his massive wealth from news and media, generally could not abide journalists and often made that very clear. It was rare that he spoke candidly and publicly as he did during this extended interview.

The battle to establish World Series Cricket had been bruising for everyone involved, and Parky clearly felt strongly about what he saw as Tony Greig’s betrayal, actively signing players for the rebel competition while still England captain, while Packer unsurprisingly had the opposite point of view. What followed was a masterclass in how to disagree robustly and remain courteous, and might have been Parky’s best interview of all on television.

[littletroubledgrrrl]

In 1992, Australia aired a television special known as "Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos" which was basically these home videos of vulgar content.

It was like a more vulgar "America's Funniest Home Videos".

When Australian media tycoon Kerry Packer saw "Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos" after being informed of it, he was infuriated, called the studio operators and demanded the show get off the air, which it surprisingly did and was replaced with "Cheers" reruns.

"The Jerry Springer Show" was popular enough to be aired in foreign countries--including in Australia--and it aired content not that much different from "Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos" if not worse.

I wonder how Kerry felt about "The Jerry Springer Show" since that show was really gross, trashy and vulgar?

[ad_1] What Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket was to the one-day game and the Indian Premier League (IPL) to T20 franchise cricket, the English Test team, helmed by captain Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum, is to Test cricket. The oldest format of the game, oddly, is the last one to be revolutionised, fittingly, by the pioneers of the game. After a routine 4-0 Ashes rout in Australia and a shock 1-0 defeat in West Indies, England scampered to make leadership changes, which resulted in an urgent change in ethos. That the resultant 10 wins in 12 matches were still not good enough to keep England in the hunt for a spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) was a testament to how deep the troubles were.Sportstar caught up with former England captain and current assistant coach Paul Collingwood on the sidelines of the Legends League Cricket Masters tournament in Qatar to get a ringside view of the winds of change blowing across Test cricket’s meadows.  Is England’s cavalier approach to Test cricket sustainable in the long run?What Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes hope is that teams follow this approach because if Test cricket is going to survive, it’s important that we make it more entertaining. The skill level we take into Test matches, effort (we put in) to win the game and get the run rate up or take wickets – hopefully this will make Test cricket a lot more interesting to watch and bring back the followers. It is very important to world cricket that Test cricket survives. If you ask many players around the world, they’ll say that the hardest (format) to win a match in is Test match cricket. To be part of this upcurve of how English cricket is going is superb. As long as you do have the skill level in the team, which England does have at this moment, it (aggressive approach) can be very sustainable.  What’s your take on skipper Ben Stokes saying he would rather lose a Test than play for a draw after the first Test against Pakistan last year?  What a lovely approach to have - when you have a leader who is willing to lose a Test match. In the past, we have always worried about losing so much that we didn’t take the chance to win the game. When you have two leaders in McCullum and Stokes and they push that attitude of trying to win a Test match through to the players, it becomes very powerful. No matter what situation you are in, you are always looking to make time to win it. That Test match in Pakistan was a fine example of how to, on a flat and mundane wicket, actually still allow enough time in the game to go and win it. That declaration was a bold one. People were thinking they’re crazy going for this because it’s such a flat wicket. It’s amazing the pressure you can put the opposition under if they have a chance to win.  So, England wouldn’t have been too disappointed after losing a thriller to New Zealand by one run last month?   Of course, you are disappointed to lose a game. But when you see the amount of people that were talking about the game and watching it right down to that very last ball, you realise that that’s the job. That’s the bigger picture of making Test cricket more exciting. In my memory, that’s as good a game that I’ve been involved in. All the spectators, even the English fans who had come all the way to watch, said we have all witnessed such an amazing game of cricket. They were almost thankful. When you have an approach like this, you have to take the rough with the smooth. We are not always going to get it right, but when we do get it right, it is very good to watch.  The flipside of England’s approach in Test cricket could be players not always racking up big scores. Do they need some sense of security in order to continue in the same, aggressive vein?  Brendon has been very strong in his leadership with that. He is not expecting consistency and not asking for it either. He’s asking for match-winning moments and match-defining innings or spells. He’s asking for X-factor players who can create special things and moments. He wants innings that make people want to sit in their seats or turn the TV on and watch. That’s what we are after. The consistency side has gone out of the window.  It’s interesting that Test cricket has always been judged on stats - what’s your average, strike rate, what’s your strike rate as a bowler. In England’s dressing room at this moment, we are very much around what’s your impact on the game – how are you going to take it away from the opposition, how much pressure can you put on a certain bowler. This is what we judge our players on at the moment and not consistency necessarily. If you fail in an innings, you are going to get backed. It’s very important that you are backed longer than you would be normally. As a player, you need that - the sense of security and understanding from the rest of the players and management that this is your role in the side. It’s okay if you don’t get it right every time.Is playing India in India going to be the litmus Test for England’s revolutionary approach in Tests?  The litmus test is going to be the Ashes. We have got five very important and exciting Test matches coming up against our biggest rivals in the game. That is going to be the first big test. We are coming up against a very powerful Australian side in a manner that they have never seen before. Of course, playing India in India is difficult. No matter what happens, we will have that same approach. There is no way we don’t have that approach, no matter what wickets we come across. It will be exciting to watch – win or lose.  How has your experience been playing in Legends League Cricket Masters and have you managed to maintain some of that intensity from your playing days?  It’s great to reminisce with your fellow players and the era that we played in during the Legends League Cricket Masters. Our bodies don’t move as well, physically we are not quite as fit, but our minds are still very much competitive. When you go out onto the park, you want to win and put a performance on. You feel the nerves and the adrenaline. That’s what you miss when you have played international sport. Even the little mannerism of watching Gautam Gambhir bat or Brett Lee run in to bowl, he might not be as quick as he used to be, but just seeing his action brings back all these memories of these great players.  There’s a legend, in his forties, who is not playing in Legends League Cricket Masters but still competing at the international level? What are your thoughts on the relentless James Anderson?  All these forty-year-olds who are playing in the Legends League are kind of in awe of what James Anderson is doing right now – keeping his mind and body in shape and having that motivation of going out there and performing. He’s getting better and better, he’s like fine wine, he’s maturing with age.   [ad_2] Source link

[ad_1]     Rohit Sharma cuts a forlorn figure in Adelaide. Photo: Debasis Sen ML Jaisimha, the former India opener and one of Sunil Gavaskar’s boyhood heroes, used to call cricket a lonely game. It is a team sport, but when a batter is at the crease, against a bowler and 10 other fielders, he is a lonely person out there in the middle. When a fielder is positioning himself underneath a skier, he is a lonely person in the field. As Pat Cummins dismissed Rohit Sharma with a beauty during India’s second innings at Adelaide Oval and the India captain started to trudge off the field, he looked the most lonesome person in the world. Runs have deserted him. His captaincy is under the scanner. ‘Big boys play at night’ was the catchphrase for Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket. India lost the second Test against Australia at night. On Day 1, they allowed the hosts to saunter to 86/1 in the night session after being bowled out for 180 in their first innings. On Day 2, the tourists lost five wickets in the night session in their second innings to decisively hand over the advantage to their opponents. In between, Travis Head had run India ragged, feasting on Harshit Rana’s freebies and capitalising on Rohit’s reactive captaincy. The decision to remove Jasprit Bumrah from the attack when the southpaw was new to the crease defied logic. It was inexplicable. Did India lose the Adelaide Test due to Rana’s poor bowling and Rohit’s ordinary captaincy? No. The team has been struggling to put runs on the board and that is their biggest problem. It happened in the home series against New Zealand, in the first innings in Perth, and then in Adelaide. 487/6 declared in the second innings in Perth was an aberration. Pink-ball Test is a part of the Australian cricket calendar and it is tokenism. But pink ball or red ball, first innings runs are important in Test cricket and India have been seriously lacking of late. “When you come to Australia, I feel the best chance of winning a Test match is by putting runs on the board,” Rohit said at the post-match press conference. “When we play in India, we are trying to play in very difficult conditions and that is what we wanted. It’s not by anyone else’s choice. It was our choice and we knew that the big-scoring games were not going to happen. But whenever we travel abroad, the conditions are there to score runs.” Make no mistake, Rohit and Virat Kohli’s careers have entered the twilight zone. This team is heavily dependent on Yashasvi Jaiswal to put on a big total. Down the order, the onus is on Rishabh Pant and although the wicketkeeper-batsman continues to reinvent the wheel, he hasn’t scored big in this series yet. Shubman Gill has all the talent in the world, but he gives the feeling of a ‘happy flower’ (to borrow it from Pep Guardiola) batsman, content with eye-catching 30s and 40s. His highest score in a Test outside Asia is 91. His Test average in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia) countries is 25. Can India turn things around in Brisbane? Of course, they can. But the batsmen will have to show more application. The sooner they put this defeat out of their system, the better. India bounced back from 36 all out in a pink-ball Test in 2020-21. Ravi Shastri, then head coach, ensured that there was no trickle-down effect.
