-Mr Packer. -Mr Parish. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
-Mr Packer. -Mr Steele. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Take a seat. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
You got my letter? | 0:01:11 | 0:01:12 | |
-Of course, and now that you're here we can... -So... | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
How much do you want? | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
I have to tell you that we've already sold | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
the television rights to the ABC. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
It's our usual practice, as you know. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
Bullshit. You haven't signed anything yet. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
-The deal's done. -How much is it worth? | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Mr Packer, that's confidential. You know that. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
200,000? A bit more? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
I'll give you one and a half million for the rights, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
the television rights, when that deal expires. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Three years. It's got to be exclusive, all right? | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
Right. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Why don't you put something down in writing | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
and you can put in a bid for the commercial television rights? | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
Oh, what the fuck do I want them for? | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Blind Freddie will tell you punters will watch the ABC without ads. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
As Bob said, we have a long-standing relationship with the ABC. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
It's a valuable partnership and we're not breaking it. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
Didn't you hear me? 1.5 million. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
Give me something. I'll sign right now. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
An exclusive contract? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 0:02:25 | 0:02:26 | |
No, I won't go to the board with that. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Come on, gentlemen. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
There's a little bit of the whore in all of us. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
-Mr Packer... -No? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
We're sorry. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
You will be. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
MUSIC: "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again" by The Angels | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
# Went down to Santa Fe | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
# Where Renoir paints the walls | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
# Described you clearly | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
# But the sky began to fall | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
# Am I ever gonna see your face again? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
# Am I ever gonna see your face again? | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
# Am I ever gonna see your face again? # | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
Good evening, viewers. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
Beautiful long run, well-balanced. It's short of a good length. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
Arms of steel. It's through to Marsh. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
The skip's keeping the pressure on. A good round of applause. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
'Nott goes down the pitch for a little gardening. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
'He knows this is tough. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
'He's trying to adjust his eyes to the light, holding up Dennis Lillee.' | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
-Thought you got him in this over, Dennis. -Next ball, I think. -Oh. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
'..but the crowd are loving it. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
-'Steele comes forward to Lillee and he's bowled him!' -Oh, yes! | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
Fuckin' beauty! | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
-What'd you get in this one? -I dunno, Hoges. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
Course you bloody know. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
-Every cricketer knows every statistic of every game he ever played in. -Four for 31. -See? | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
Dennis, I'm not pissing in your pocket, but what you got, that's unique. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
-What about Thommo? -Even Thommo. -What about Andy Roberts? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
Oh, fuck, mate. Are you gonna be my agent with Austin or what? | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
Well, me and Austin have to talk about it. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
Oh, there's not much to talk about. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
I'm lookin' after the guy. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
Nine months' full-time cricket, best in the world. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
Guess how much they paid him? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
-Eight grand. -Bullshit. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
The bloke who pushes the sight board, | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
Dennis makes about the same money as him. So do the other guys. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
That's bloody ridiculous. Me and Hoges can get that for two nights. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
-You're getting ripped off. -Tell me about it. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
What are they doing? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
They've got this great game in their hand, and these world champions. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
And they've got no idea what they've got. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
They should be selling stars like you. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
Who's on this cricket board, anyway? | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-Bunch of fucking... -Hey, Dellie. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
Hi, guys. Don't get up. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
-What's this? -They gave it to me. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
So how was the shoot? They're putting you on the cover, right? | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
Yes. What have you been up to? You said something, didn't you? | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
Might have had a little word to them. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-I thought you might have. What'd you say? -Agent's secret. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
If I was to tell you I'd have to kill you. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
Right, well it worked, smartarse. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
-'Lillee to Randall!' -Oh! | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
-Yes! Another one! -'Magnificent! LBW!' | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
Yeah, like a quiz show. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
I'm the dog, right, and the quizmaster says, | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
"What's on top of the house?" And I say, "Roof, roof!" | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-HE LAUGHS -Yeah, and question number two. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
He goes, "What's on the outside of a tree?" Dog says, "Bark, bark!" | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
-Yeah. So he wins. What does he win? -Something like a bone, or... | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
What if we did it ourselves? | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
Signed up Lillee, all the other guys. Put on an exhibition game. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
You know, the Cream of Cricket, something like that. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
And they get paid most of the gate. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:21 | |
Yeah, we tell the board to pay it straight to them. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
Advertise it like buggery, get a big crowd in. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
-What do you think? -We gotta do it. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
Dellie? | 0:06:28 | 0:06:29 | |
If there was a cricket game with all the top guys in it, would you go? | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-Is David Hookes playing? -Yeah. -I'm there. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
The best cricketers in Australia, all on one ground, | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
all at the same time. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
What we need is someone with deep pockets and big balls. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
FEEDBACK | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-KNOCK ON DOOR -Bloody hell. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
Thanks, Rose. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
-What the fuck do you want? -I've got an idea. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
-Right, hang on. Now? -Yep. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
Rose. Come in here, will you? | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-Well? -That should be OK. -ROSE! GET IN HERE! | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
Yes, Mr Packer. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
-Can you hear me on the speaker? -No. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
No. For Christ's sake, get this bloody thing working! | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
Oh, leave it. Come back later! | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
-Sorry, Mr Packer. I'll have to rewire it later. -Yes. Get out! | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
What kind of idea? | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
How would you like some cricket on TV? | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
A one-day cricket match. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
The best cricketers in Australia against the best in the world. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
-What about the Cricket Board? -Fuck 'em. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
The cricketers are getting shafted, Kerry. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
The board's making millions and the players get practically nothing. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
-I've heard. -We blitz the airwaves. Make it an event on Channel 9. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
-What? You can get them? -Starting with Dennis Lillee. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
I'm managing him now and he reckons the others will be up for it. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
He'll do the initial contacts. Talk to the players first. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
So what I've got here is a couple of fucking comedians coming to me | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
with a major business deal. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
-Correct. -Yeah. Come back tomorrow, son. I'll think. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
A huge one-day carnival game at the end of the season. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
Hang on! | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
Sit down. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
So you've got Dennis Lillee. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
-Can you get Ian Chappell? -Yeah. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
-Thomson? Rod Marsh? Walters? -Easy. Dennis will get them for us. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:29 | |
What about the rest of the world, you know? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
-Tony Greig or Imran Khan or... -Kerry, they're all getting screwed. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
OK. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
OK. We don't piss around with some exhibition match, son. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:56 | |
We do it properly. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
We sign them all up and we... We have a competition. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
-Right. -HE CHUCKLES | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
Oh, but the board can't find out anything or they'll kill it. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
How good are you at keeping secrets around here? | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
Oh, we're the best in town at that, son. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
-Nice, Chappelli. -Thanks, Len. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
Just got a call for you from Sydney. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
Austin Robertson wants you to get on a plane | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
-and says you've got a meeting. -Right. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
Meeting with who? He was all secretive. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
-What's it all about? -No idea, Len. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
-Chappelli. -Kerry. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
What are you supposed to be, some kind of a fucking cowboy? | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
-Austin. -Kerry. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
How is it playing for little old North Melbourne after all the heights? | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
-It's good. I enjoy it. -Good. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
-Austin tell you what we're up to? -Mm. -Well, what do you think? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
-It's probably worth a shot. -Good. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
So who do you want in this team of yours? | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
Mine? Hang on, Kerry. I'm not captain any more. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
My brother's Australian captain at the moment. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
What do you think this is, son, a fucking democracy? | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
I'm payin' the fucking bills, you're the fucking captain. Here. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:44 | |
Have a look. See who else you want in this team. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
-Who put this together? -I did. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
Chappell, Chappell, Chappell. This a family show, is it? | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
Edwards, Hookes, Robinson, Brighty, McCosker, Davis. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:06 | |
That's good. Fot. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
Hang on, where's Rowdy? | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
No, I'm not paying for that fucking straight breaker. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Kerry, he's good. He can bowl. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
Didn't you hear me? He's not getting a contract. Nor is Gary Cosier. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
Cosier's a good bat, Kerry. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
-Mm. OK. -Good. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
Well, I have to say, it's about bloody time. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
-Something like this has been coming for a while. -No, no, no. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
Not like this, son. None of the old-fashioned shit any more. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
I'm stacking it with speed bowlers. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
It will be a fucking revolution. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
Greig Chappell. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
Kerry loves him but if we go anywhere near him, he'll blab. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-How do you know? -We just can't take the chance. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
He likes things done by the book | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
and if anyone's going to go to the board, it'll be him. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
So sign all the others first. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
Get them in the tent and then go for him. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
-What do you reckon, Dennis? -He's the captain. You go to him last, you'll piss him off | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
and he'll go to the board for sure. And they love him. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
-We could have him killed. -Why don't I just hit him with it? | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
-Lay it all on the line? -No. It's too risky. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
You're elite, international sportsmen | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
and you're getting fuck all. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
John Snow, a few years back, the world's best fast bowler, | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
on the dole in the off-season. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
Couldn't feed himself off cricket. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
The 1970 tour of South Africa, | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
the board makes a quarter of a million bucks' profit. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
The players put in for a pissy 500 bonus. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
-Knocked back flat. -Now, here's the bit. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:44 | |
The board can't know. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
If they get a whiff of what's going on, we're dead. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
You can't mention anything to them. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
I know you're the captain | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
but this has to be totally secret for it to work. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
The whole thing has to stay undercover. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
That's it. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
I'm in. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |

-Yeah, Dennis rang me about it. Who else have you got? -Everyone. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
-What? No-one's said anything. -Good. Don't you. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
-What about my wife? -Don't tell her either. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
Centenary test next week. I'll have cheques for everyone after that. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
She's going to kill me. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
CHEERING | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
The arrival here in Melbourne of Her Majesty the Queen. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
Willis again. Short. And he's pulled it off. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
It's hit him in the face. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
He's dragged it onto his wicket. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
McCosker spitting out some blood. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
Hookes is 40. Five for 227. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
He's got that round towards fine leg and it's going to be close. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
Underwood will get to it. No, he won't! | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
Away it goes again. Beautiful shot. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
The young man on his first test is 48. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
And away it goes. Could be for his 50. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
Out towards the boundary, a beautiful shot. Four in a row. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
Off walks England's captain. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
52 to David Hookes. A brilliant performance. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
This is Randall. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
Good shot. Straight down the ground. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
CHEERING | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
Another fine shot. Beautiful shot. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
Classic cover drive. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
Lillee's been brought back into the attack. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
And he's someone with a great deal of fire. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
Terrible looking shot, and he doffs his cap. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
He hung his bat out to dry. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
And that's hit him on the head and that's a bad one. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
There's an appeal, there. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
And an appeal for a caught, is it? He's walked. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
He's gone. Randall caught by Cosier. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
It's Cosier taking an absolutely brilliant catch. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
And that's it! It's LBW. Alan Knott is out. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
Lillee has struck again, | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
to finish off this Test Match. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
Australia triumphant with a margin of 45 runs. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
CHEERING | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
Congratulations, Greig. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
Ah, thank you, Tony. I was quietly confident. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
Bullshit, mate. It was this close. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-HE LAUGHS -Bacchus, well done. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:53 | |
-Thanks, Greigy! -Six for 26. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
-This is going to be an historic tour of England. -Is it ever. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
Excuse me, Mr Parish. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
-Fot, your theatre tickets. -Thanks, Ock. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
-Tony, can I see you for a tick? -Sure. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
-I got someone in Sydney wants to meet you. -Who? | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
-McCosker. How's it feel? -Oh, full of drugs mate. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:21 | |
-Your theatre tickets, Doug. -Oh, thanks, Ock. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
-G'day, Ray. Good to see you. -Austin. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
-So what's that? -Oh, it's just an invitation to something. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
What to? | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
You're a nosy bastard, aren't you, Cosier? | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
Hey? Open it. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
-Want another beer, big fella? -Yeah. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
Yep, just over there. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
What's going on? | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
As captains of your respective states, | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
we thought we'd get you all in here | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
to get a feel of the mood with the players. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
Five test matches between now and the end of August, | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
and we all know how onerous a long tour of England can be. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:29 | |
So, any concerns you want to bring up? | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
No. Not really. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
-So how are the troops? All raring to go? -Mm-hmm. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
-Excuse me, Mr Parish. -Thanks, Kylie. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
-Tea, gentlemen? -Mm. Thank you. -It's a great squad. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:55 | |
We're confident of a good result, | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
especially after that terrific result in '75. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
-One bloody win? -You kept the Ashes. That's what counts. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:05 | |
Any complaints, any problems, | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
anything anyone wants to say? | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
No? | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
-Nothing you want to tell us? -Like what? | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
Well, are we looking after you well enough? | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
You all happy, hmm? | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
-With the tour arrangements. -Oh, yeah. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
-That's all... -Yeah, we're very happy. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
Very good. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
I just want to say, we're proud of you blokes. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
It's an honour to represent you, it really is. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
-We're a great family. -Oh, yeah. -No doubt about that. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
Thank you. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
G'day, son. Good to see you again. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
-Hi, Kerry. You remember Bruce Francis? -Yes. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
-We're working together. -You were a bloody good bat, Francis. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
-Thanks, Kerry. -I see Hookesy belted you for a few. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
-Thank you. -Rose, I've got to see Kerry. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
-We've got a tax problem. -Sorry, Mr Warner, he's busy. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
You're joking. This is important. Who's he got in there? | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
I can't tell you that. You'll have to come back later. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
-Well, this can't wait. -NO! | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
Oh, for God's sake! | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
-We talked about something like this last year. -I remember. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
They respect you, son. You can sign 'em up. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
-You can get the South Africans and the West Indians. -OK. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
And you're sworn to secrecy. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
I don't care about the money, Kerry. I've got my sponsorships. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
-I'm doing fine. -Good. So sign. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
I went straight from school into professional cricket, Kerry. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
I've never had a job. I want one with your organisation. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:07 | |
Done. I'll pay you 25 grand a year. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
Do we have a deal? | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
And a loan, to help him buy a house in Sydney. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
As much as he wants. 2%. Is that it? | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
Is the contract with Consolidated Press? | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
No, it's with JP Sport. But don't worry, he'll get every penny. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
Can we have your personal guarantee on that? | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
Personal...fuckin'...guarantee. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
In writing. And I'll need a solicitor to look over it. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
Where the hell did you get this bloke? | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
I sold the Telegraph to Murdoch in the back-seat of a taxi | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
for 15 million | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
and this idiot wants my guarantee in writing for a lousy 40 grand. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
-I don't mean to be difficult... -No, no, no, take him to the next room | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
and go over that with a magnifying glass if you want. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
Meanwhile, I'll sit here on my fat arse | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
pretending to tremble whether you're going to sign or not. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
And then when you're done playing big dick businessman, | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
get back in here and fucking sign it! | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
The Australian cricket team is off to England | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
to start start their three-month Ashes tour, | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
fresh from their victory over England | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
in the Melbourne Centenary Test. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
Australia will play a rejuvenated England | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
under the captaincy of Tony Greig, | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
who has lifted the team to new heights since taking the helm. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
Right, boys. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
In a surprise move, the Australian squad did not include Dennis Lillee. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:18 | |
The champion fast bowler is reported to have stress fractures | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
of the back and will take time off cricket for recuperation. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
The Australian team will be led by Greig Chappell, | 0:24:24 | 0:24:28 | |
and will play three warm-up matches before the first test. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
I've got someone coming in, son, and I want you there. He's important. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
We're going to have to get you into a tie, son. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
I don't wear ties, Kerry. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
What do you mean, you don't? I just told you, he's important. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
Now get a bloody tie and start looking decent for people. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
When you work for me, you wear a fuckin' tie. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
-I'll buy you some, how's that? -I don't work for you, Kerry. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
I make programmes for you which, incidentally, win the ratings. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
-And I don't wear ties for anyone. -Now you listen to me, Cornell. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
If we're gonna work together on this fucking cricket, | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
you're gonna start wearing ties... | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
Here he is! Richie, how are you, my friend? Good to see you again. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
-Good to see you again, Kerry. -Richie, this is John Cornell. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
Cornell, this is Richie Benaud. Watch out for him, Richie. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
He's a smart young bloke, but not smart enough to take good advice. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
-Like what? -Oh, I was just telling him that when he comes to work, | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
he should wear a nice tie like you and me. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
He's wearing my favourite outfit, actually. Nice slacks, smart jacket. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
He looks fine. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
Asif Iqbal, Alvin Kallicharan... | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
Mushtaq Mohammad, Viv Richards. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
Impressive, I must say. How many do you have in total? | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
-35. -35? -Including the South Africans. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
-We've got Pollock, Richards, Barlow, Procter. -Unbelievable. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
-I haven't heard a word of this. -Somehow they kept quiet. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
Richie, you and Daphne, I want to sign you both as consultants. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:53 | |
Think of yourself as a tactician. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
You know the cricket board better than anyone. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
Ah, the board. This is going to be difficult. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
They're very old school. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
You have to start thinking like them. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
Maybe you should start wearing a tie. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |

Don't worry about it, mate. It's all right. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
Come on, watch the line! | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |

-Lenny! How are you, mate? -Good, fellas. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
Piss off, boys, all right? | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
Now the blokes need a bit of a break. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
They don't want journos hanging around. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
-Just got a quick question for you, Len. -Yeah? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
After this tour, next Aussie summer, what's going on back home? | 0:27:22 | 0:27:27 | |
-We got India coming, you know that. -No, some cricket carnival. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
Lillee, Ian Chappell. What's all that about? | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
No idea, but Dennis might not be up to it by then. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
-We heard he's not that injured. -What? What cricket carnival? | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
-And Chappelli's retired. -See, that's not what we heard. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
He said something vague to me about the possibility of a comeback. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
I've got no details. I don't know what you're talking about. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
-That's what we thought. -Let's go have a word to Bacchus, mate. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
Hey, have you signed yet? | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
Signed what? | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
You too, huh? I don't know. What's going on? | 0:28:06 | 0:28:11 | |
What do you mean? | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
I don't know. Something. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
Warner. Sit down. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:23 | |
This cricket thing's warming up. I want you in to manage it. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:26 | |
-What cricket thing? -Don't piss around. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
I know you know. Who told ya? | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
-Kerry, I... -Fuck that. Anyway, you're running it. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
I'll up you five grand. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:35 | |
Stay in close contact with Richie Benaud. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:37 | |
He knows what he's doing. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:39 | |
He's written a letter to the board. We'll taxi it to them. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:42 | |
Cornell and I will have a press release ready to go. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:45 | |
-Rose, what the hell are you wearing? -Don't you like it? | 0:28:45 | 0:28:48 | |
You look a sack of potatoes. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:51 | |
Get us some lunch, will you? | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
-Some hamburgers and a couple of milkshakes. -Yes, Mr Packer. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:57 | |
-You blokes want anything? -I've gotta go. -Righto. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:00 | |
Right, I'll gird the loins. Thanks, Kerry. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:05 | |
You'll be cursing me before this is over, son. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
-It sounds like it's a fait accompli. -What are you, fucking educated? | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
I mean it's a done deal. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
I know what it means, son, and it's not. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:18 | |
They'll be back at us. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:20 | |
The question is, what have they got to fight with? | 0:29:20 | 0:29:23 | |
History. A hundred years of it. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
SHE SOBS | 0:29:29 | 0:29:32 | |
-Rose? -Go away. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
-All the best. -You too, mate. -Ah, tails. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:56 | |
OK, we'll bat. | 0:29:56 | 0:29:58 | |
-Gentlemen, all the best. -All the best. -Thank you. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
THUNDER CLAP | 0:30:00 | 0:30:02 | |
Don't know if you'll be batting anytime soon. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:05 | |
Ah, just means the party starts early. All you guys coming? | 0:30:05 | 0:30:08 | |
-Oh, yes. You bet. -THUNDER CLAP | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
# Hey, senorita | 0:30:14 | 0:30:16 | |
# Why don't you let me take you home? | 0:30:17 | 0:30:21 | |
# Oh, little girl | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
# Why don't you let me take you home... # | 0:30:25 | 0:30:27 | |
-What have you got? -Nothing new. But they're all half pissed. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:34 | |
We just keep at them. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
Look, I heard it's not going to be a one-off. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:38 | |
-They want to play a whole season. -Who told you that? | 0:30:38 | 0:30:40 | |
It doesn't make any sense. They'll be busy playing Tests against India. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:44 | |
-No, I think they're jumping. They're leaving Test cricket. -Christ. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:47 | |
-Have you seen Tony Greig? -No, not for a bit. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:49 | |
-Hey Bacchus! -Bacchus. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:52 | |
-Hey, guys. -Mate, we know it's on. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:55 | |
-Come on, what have you got? -What's on? | 0:30:55 | 0:30:57 | |
Something. Anything. We won't quote ya. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:00 | |
No, no-one'll be quoting anyone. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:02 | |
You guys. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:07 | |
Oh, that went well. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:09 | |
-Afternoon, gentlemen. -Clive. -Clive. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
-Glad to see the Downunder Fourth Estate represented. -Fuck off! | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
So tell me, you haven't got a sniff of piracy in the ranks, have you? | 0:31:14 | 0:31:18 | |
Piracy? What do you mean? | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
-Clive. -Excuse me. Good to see you. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:25 | |
Oh, mate. They've got something. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:31 | |
Shit, we've got to bust it tonight or they'll scoop us. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
-There he is. Hang on, I'll grab him. -Greig. -Peter. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:38 | |
-Enjoying the party? -Should be more of it, I reckon. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
Mate, let me put something to you. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:43 | |
A professional troupe of cricketers, | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
put together by say some cricket promoter, | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
and they play outside the official sanctioned games for a lot of money. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:51 | |
-What do you think? -It sounds interesting. | 0:31:51 | 0:31:54 | |
-Would you sign up for it? -I'd have to find out more about it first. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:57 | |
And if you did, would you sign up for it? | 0:31:57 | 0:32:00 | |
-Well, like I said. -Put you down as a yes? | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
Enjoy the party, Peter. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
-Hookesy. -Thank you. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
-No worries. I want to ask you something. -Mm-hmm. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:11 | |
-Kerry Packer. How well do you know him? -I don't. I haven't met him yet. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:15 | |
-Yet? What do you mean? -Oh, he wants to meet all the players. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:19 | |
-How come? -Just being friendly. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
He's paying them enough. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:24 | |
Yeah. What'd you get? | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
I'm not telling you that. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:36 | |
-What did Ian Chappell get? -Oh, mate. A lot more than me. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:41 | |
-Yeah, right. -Mm. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
Right. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
How many others signed? | 0:32:49 | 0:32:51 | |
-Now. -Are we off? OK. Nice to meet you. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:02 | |
-Peter! What's going on? -Sorry, Greigy. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:06 | |
Great party, mate. Got to go. Got to go. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:10 | |
Get onto Doug Insole or Tagge Webster, quick. We need a comment. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
We should get in contact with the Australian Cricket Board as well. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:18 | |
No, deal with our board first. We'll worry about the Australians later. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:22 | |

Hove, May eight. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:41 | |
Australian television magnate Kerry Packer | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
is bidding to set up a troupe of the world's, pos S, best cricketers | 0:33:44 | 0:33:47 | |
to play matches specifically for television. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
Alan Sheill. Put me through to copy, will you? | 0:33:50 | 0:33:53 | |
Stop. New par. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:55 | |
Most of Australia's, pos S, current Test team has been approached | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
to join the troupe, comma... | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
-OK. London, Sunday. -TV magnate... | 0:34:01 | 0:34:03 | |
Sir Douglas Frank Hewson Packer. Media proprietor. He's knighted. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:09 | |
Born 1906. Hang on, he's got to be younger than that. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:12 | |
-No, it's a Kerry. -Kerry? -Kerry Packer. -He's not even here. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:16 | |
Anyway, Sir Frank's dead. I remember we ran something. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:19 | |
Ah, hold on. Sons Clyde, born 1935, and Kerry, bingo! | 0:34:19 | 0:34:24 | |
Born 1937. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:27 | |
-That's got to be him. -He's a bloody nobody. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:29 | |
I'll ring Insole first. This'll be terrific. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:31 | |

Sir Donald. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:11 | |
-EXCITED CHATTER -Mr Packer! -Please. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:53 | |
Mr Packer, is it true you've signed 20 cricketers to your rebel group? | 0:35:53 | 0:35:58 | |
We've signed exactly 35. | 0:35:58 | 0:35:59 | |
We'll be signing more in the future, possibly. | 0:35:59 | 0:36:02 | |
ALL: Mr Packer! Mr Packer! | 0:36:02 | 0:36:04 | |
Mr Packer, you collected most of your players in secret. | 0:36:04 | 0:36:07 | |
Does that mean you don't intend to cooperate or work | 0:36:07 | 0:36:10 | |
with the cricket authorities? | 0:36:10 | 0:36:12 | |
I've done all I can to cooperate with the Australian Cricket Board. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:15 | |
I was willing to pay big money to cover cricket | 0:36:15 | 0:36:17 | |
but they blocked me at every turn. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:19 | |
So now...we're doing our own thing. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
Well, what does that mean, exactly? Are you declaring a cricket war? | 0:36:22 | 0:36:26 | |
Well, if this is a war, | 0:36:26 | 0:36:28 | |
it's been brought on by the cricket authorities, not by me. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:31 | |
-ALL: Mr Packer. Mr Packer! Mr Packer! -McFarlane at the Age. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
Mr Packer, have you read the latest comments by the Chairman | 0:36:34 | 0:36:37 | |
of the Australian Cricket Board, Bob Parish? | 0:36:37 | 0:36:40 | |
-Yes, I'm aware of what he said. -Any comment? | 0:36:40 | 0:36:42 | |
Yes. Mr Parish doesn't like me, and I'm not mad about Parish. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:46 | |
-ALL: Mr Packer, Mr Packer. -Yes? | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
Will you continue to operate in secret, | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
and how will this impact Test cricket? | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
Well, if the cricket boards cooperate, | 0:36:53 | 0:36:55 | |
there's no reason why Test cricket will be affected at all. | 0:36:55 | 0:36:58 | |
If they don't cooperate, they'll walk straight into a meat mangler. | 0:36:58 | 0:37:01 | |
ALL: Mr Packer! | 0:37:01 | 0:37:03 | |
Mr Greig. Mr Greig, as Captain of the England cricket team, | 0:37:03 | 0:37:07 | |
you recruited many of Mr Packer's players. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:11 | |
Do you feel like a traitor to English cricket? | 0:37:11 | 0:37:14 | |
Not at all. The players were all happy to sign up. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:19 | |
Eager to. What I've tried to do | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
is help provide some security for my fellow players. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
Now, I'm sure that all this can be sorted out and World Series Cricket | 0:37:25 | 0:37:28 | |
and Test cricket can exist happily side by side. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:31 | |
ALL: Mr Packer! Mr Packer! | 0:37:31 | 0:37:32 | |
Mr Packer, how many cricket games do you intend to | 0:37:32 | 0:37:35 | |
schedule in the Australian summer? | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
-Don't answer that. -We're not sure at the moment. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:39 | |
There'll be a number of Test matches followed by a series | 0:37:39 | 0:37:42 | |
-of one-day games. -Hang on, the Test matches. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:45 | |
Surely they're not Test matches. I mean, they are games of cricket... | 0:37:45 | 0:37:48 | |
Call 'em what you want | 0:37:48 | 0:37:49 | |
but they'll be played by the best Test players in the world. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
-Who on earth is that? -Who? | 0:37:52 | 0:37:54 | |
-The pushy little blonde chap. -I have no idea. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
I've never seen him before. Is he an administrator? | 0:37:57 | 0:37:59 | |
His name's John Cornell. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
Where's he from? | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
Kalgoorlie. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
Austin, it's Gavin. Sure, no problem. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
Yep, good. Joel Garner. Got him. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:14 | |
Yes. Wait a tick. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:19 | |
Here he is. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
You boys are working overtime! | 0:38:23 | 0:38:25 | |
Great! | 0:38:27 | 0:38:28 | |
Yes, I'm on a plane this afternoon. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:31 | |
I'll see you the day after tomorrow. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:33 | |
I want to meet with Tony Greig. Yep. Bye. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:38 | |

-You an Aussie, then? -Yeah, that's right. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
Yeah, no charge for you, lad. Enjoy the cricket. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
-Well, thank you. Thanks a lot. -You're welcome. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
I just wanted to meet you and talk over a few things. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:29 | |
-Yeah. -Bu t don't worry, it can wait till later. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:31 | |

Oh, no, no, no, it's fine. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:35 | |
I heard they sacked you as England captain this morning. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:38 | |
-I'm sorry. -Yes. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:41 | |
Well, I kind of expected it. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:43 | |
-At least you're still playing for England. -Yeah. And Sussex. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:49 | |
I like this cricket. Well, gotta go. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:52 | |
-I'll meet you back at the hotel. -Right. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
BOOING | 0:41:58 | 0:42:00 | |
-You the lad talking to fucking Tony Greig, were you? -Yes, I was. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:15 | |
-Friend of yours, is he? -Well, not really. | 0:42:15 | 0:42:19 | |
Yeah, he's a fucking traitor. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:21 | |
-You know that Aussie, Packer? -I work for him. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:24 | |
Do ya? Ten quid. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:25 | |
You're kidding. I was only here 20 minutes. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:28 | |
Ten fucking quid, come on. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
And you can tell your mate Tony fucking Greig | 0:42:32 | 0:42:34 | |
he'll be charged double next time he turns up. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:37 | |
Now fuck off. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:39 | |
How does that apply to you, first of all, Robin? | 0:42:43 | 0:42:46 | |
Do you feel that this whole incident | 0:42:46 | 0:42:49 | |
is the way that Kerry's described it? | 0:42:49 | 0:42:51 | |
That it shows Tony Greig as a man of honour? | 0:42:51 | 0:42:54 | |
No, I don't. I think he's a fool. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:56 | |
But David, I want to talk about Mr Packer. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:59 | |
This man does not know how to behave. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
For instance, he has made Tony Greig do a dishonest thing. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:05 | |
Our life, of which cricket is a part, is made up of behaviour, | 0:43:05 | 0:43:10 | |
and how you behave is how you're judged. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:13 | |
What Tony Greig has done is totally unforgiveable. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:17 | |
You see, I don't understand that, you see. I don't. | 0:43:17 | 0:43:20 | |
No, you don't, you see. That's just the trouble with you. | 0:43:20 | 0:43:23 | |
-He's confident, eh? -Who's that other guy? | 0:43:23 | 0:43:27 | |
This man's intervention is absolutely tearing the guts out of cricket. | 0:43:27 | 0:43:32 | |
I fail to see in any way how Mr Packer's intervention | 0:43:32 | 0:43:36 | |
is welcome to our cricket here. | 0:43:36 | 0:43:38 | |
Whether it's welcome here or not, there are 35 players | 0:43:38 | 0:43:40 | |
to start with who want to be in it, and they are the judges. | 0:43:40 | 0:43:44 | |
These people have given long service to cricket | 0:43:44 | 0:43:47 | |
and I believe they're entitled to make a decent living out of it. | 0:43:47 | 0:43:50 | |
APPLAUSE No, I'm sorry. | 0:43:50 | 0:43:52 | |
I'm sorry to hear people clapping | 0:43:52 | 0:43:54 | |
because that is the man that does not care about our Test cricket. | 0:43:54 | 0:43:58 | |
This is about the boards. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:00 | |
What I fail to understand is their blind reluctance | 0:44:00 | 0:44:02 | |
to be informed about what I'm doing so they can make a balanced decision. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:06 | |
Why not talk to me while I'm here? | 0:44:06 | 0:44:08 | |
Because maybe they don't like your attitude. How about that? | 0:44:08 | 0:44:11 | |
-Well, I think that's highly likely. -APPLAUSE | 0:44:11 | 0:44:13 | |
David, we still haven't got across the point, | 0:44:13 | 0:44:17 | |
if this circus comes along to take the cream off... | 0:44:17 | 0:44:20 | |
It's arrived, boss. | 0:44:20 | 0:44:22 | |
It has not arrived. He's arrived. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:24 | |
That is a nonsense statement. | 0:44:24 | 0:44:27 | |
The players have signed up. They're there. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:29 | |
They'll be in Australia in November and playing in the Supertests. | 0:44:29 | 0:44:33 | |
Now don't pretend they haven't arrived. | 0:44:33 | 0:44:35 | |
-Do you think the Supertests should go on? -AUDIENCE: Yes! | 0:44:35 | 0:44:38 | |
-Or should they be stopped? -AUDIENCE: No! No! | 0:44:38 | 0:44:40 | |
Well, that seems to be the vote. We'll leave it there. | 0:44:40 | 0:44:43 | |
-Goodnight. -APPLAUSE | 0:44:43 | 0:44:46 | |
So, who did the selecting, anyway? | 0:44:49 | 0:44:51 | |
Did Packer choose everyone, did he? | 0:44:51 | 0:44:54 | |
Oh, it's done, mate. Leave it alone. | 0:44:54 | 0:44:56 | |
You and me, we're good enough to play for Australia but not for him, is that it? | 0:44:56 | 0:45:00 | |
Oh, g'day, you blokes. Handsome fellas. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:03 | |
-Bacchus. -What's going on? We're gonna get something to eat. | 0:45:03 | 0:45:06 | |
-You coming in? -Yeah. -Yeah? | 0:45:06 | 0:45:09 | |
G'day, Lizzy, darling. How are you? | 0:45:09 | 0:45:11 | |
Can we just get a couple of jugs? | 0:45:11 | 0:45:13 | |
-You coming, Cose? -Oh, I'll see you in there. -Righto. | 0:45:17 | 0:45:21 | |
In sport, the International Cricket Conference | 0:45:26 | 0:45:29 | |
is to meet in London this week. | 0:45:29 | 0:45:31 | |
The ICC chairman, Tagge Webster, | 0:45:31 | 0:45:33 | |
has convened a special meeting of the world's cricket authorities | 0:45:33 | 0:45:37 | |
to combat the latest threat to the sport. | 0:45:37 | 0:45:39 | |
The ICC yesterday issued a communique declaring it as, | 0:45:39 | 0:45:42 | |
"The sole promoter of international cricket", | 0:45:42 | 0:45:44 | |
following the news that 49 of the world's leading players | 0:45:44 | 0:45:48 | |
have signed to a rebel group. | 0:45:48 | 0:45:51 | |
I got a charming letter from Packer today. | 0:45:51 | 0:45:53 | |
He wants to meet up while we're here and work something out. | 0:45:53 | 0:45:56 | |
-Great. Let's do it. -I also had a call from the Don. | 0:45:56 | 0:45:58 | |
-Oh, God. -He said no compromise. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:00 | |
Let's get stuck right into this bloke. | 0:46:00 | 0:46:03 | |
That'd be right. So what'd you say to Packer? | 0:46:03 | 0:46:06 | |
What could I say? I told him to bugger off. | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
-The Don should be here. -No, he's much too smart for that. | 0:46:09 | 0:46:14 | |
Players from England, Australia, the West Indies and Pakistan. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:17 | |

he is to act as a consultant to the rebel group. | 0:46:20 | 0:46:23 | |

Tommy Docherty has stood down as manager of Manchester United. | 0:46:25 | 0:46:28 | |
Docherty, who led the club to its recent 2-1 win | 0:46:28 | 0:46:31 | |
against Liverpool in the FA Cup final, has cited personal... | 0:46:31 | 0:46:34 | |
-Gentlemen. -Mr Packer. Are you enjoying London? | 0:47:15 | 0:47:20 | |
Well, I would have enjoyed it more if you hadn't kept me here twiddling my thumbs for a week. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:25 | |
So, Mr Packer, would you like to outline your proposals for us? | 0:47:25 | 0:47:31 | |
No, I wouldn't. I'm not here to put proposals. | 0:47:32 | 0:47:35 | |
I'm here to see if we can work out some sort of a compromise. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:39 | |
-And what would that entail? -Do you know what a compromise is? | 0:47:39 | 0:47:43 | |
Please Mr Packer, I feel... | 0:47:43 | 0:47:45 | |
It's when two people get together to work out a deal. | 0:47:45 | 0:47:48 | |
Both sides give a bit and they reach an agreement. | 0:47:48 | 0:47:51 | |
I'm here looking for a compromise. | 0:47:51 | 0:47:53 | |
-Good. Then let's start, shall we? -I'd appreciate it. | 0:47:55 | 0:48:00 | |
One, no player will participate in privately-promoted matches | 0:48:04 | 0:48:08 | |
unless given specific permission from local authorities. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:12 | |
Two, no privately-promoted 11 | 0:48:14 | 0:48:16 | |
can be represented as a national team. | 0:48:16 | 0:48:19 | |
Three, players taking part in privately-promoted matches | 0:48:19 | 0:48:23 | |
are to be made available for official matches if there is no clash. | 0:48:23 | 0:48:28 | |
Four, no cricket series run by a private promoter | 0:48:28 | 0:48:33 | |
will run for longer than six weeks. | 0:48:33 | 0:48:36 | |
And five, any and all privately-promoted programmes | 0:48:36 | 0:48:42 | |
will be under total control of the local cricket authorities. | 0:48:42 | 0:48:47 | |
Yes. | 0:48:59 | 0:49:01 | |
OK. | 0:49:03 | 0:49:06 | |
I can compromise on those points. | 0:49:07 | 0:49:10 | |
-How about if we set up a working committee? -Excellent. Let's do that. | 0:49:10 | 0:49:15 | |
Look, you lot can have all my players, all 49 of them. | 0:49:15 | 0:49:20 | |
The boards can run the games and we can all get on with playing cricket. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:25 | |
But you will agree | 0:49:25 | 0:49:27 | |
there'll be no more victimising of the players I've signed. | 0:49:27 | 0:49:32 | |
Tony Greig being stripped of the England captaincy, for example. | 0:49:32 | 0:49:36 | |
No more of that. | 0:49:36 | 0:49:38 | |
And I get exclusive right to televise Australian Test cricket | 0:49:38 | 0:49:43 | |
when the present arrangement expires. | 0:49:43 | 0:49:46 | |
Tell you what, gentlemen. Why don't you have a think about it? | 0:50:00 | 0:50:05 | |
We'll take a bit of a look around outside. | 0:50:05 | 0:50:07 | |
Oh, it's beautiful, isn't it? | 0:50:16 | 0:50:18 | |
I was here with my father and Clyde. | 0:50:21 | 0:50:24 | |
I missed seeing you play back in '61. | 0:50:26 | 0:50:29 | |
Kerry, we need to think about what we're doing. | 0:50:29 | 0:50:32 | |
No, I saw you take five for 13 at Old Trafford. | 0:50:32 | 0:50:36 | |
We need to think fast about who we put on this working committee. | 0:50:36 | 0:50:40 | |
Oh, there's something magic about it. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:45 | |
This is the heart. | 0:50:53 | 0:50:56 | |
Right here. | 0:50:58 | 0:51:00 | |
It's not just a game. | 0:51:03 | 0:51:06 | |
It's something... | 0:51:07 | 0:51:10 | |
..more. | 0:51:13 | 0:51:14 | |
Kerry, did you hear what I said? | 0:51:14 | 0:51:18 | |
My father didn't love much in his life. | 0:51:21 | 0:51:25 | |
He liked boats, he liked horses... | 0:51:27 | 0:51:31 | |
..but he loved cricket. | 0:51:35 | 0:51:37 | |
-Mr Packer! -What do you reckon? | 0:51:39 | 0:51:42 | |
Do you think they bought it? | 0:51:42 | 0:51:44 | |
Course they have. I've offered them a fucking gift. | 0:51:44 | 0:51:48 | |
It is the unanimous view of all member countries | 0:51:52 | 0:51:56 | |
of the International Cricket Council... | 0:51:56 | 0:51:59 | |
..that they cannot give any commitment | 0:52:01 | 0:52:05 | |
to exclusive television rights. | 0:52:05 | 0:52:07 | |
Do you agree to that? | 0:52:10 | 0:52:13 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:20 | |
But I am willing to keep discussions open. | 0:52:22 | 0:52:25 | |
No, that's not acceptable. | 0:52:28 | 0:52:31 | |
-EXCITED CHATTER -That's it. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:39 | |
Had I gotten those TV rights I was willing to withdraw from the scene | 0:52:39 | 0:52:44 | |
and leave the running of cricket to the board. | 0:52:44 | 0:52:46 | |
I'll take no steps now to help anyone. | 0:52:46 | 0:52:50 | |
It's every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost. | 0:52:50 | 0:52:53 | |
It's war, Douglas. | 0:53:08 | 0:53:10 | |
We'll have to stop this before it gets off the ground. | 0:53:10 | 0:53:13 | |
-How, exactly? -Divide and conquer. | 0:53:13 | 0:53:17 | |
We'll drive a wedge between this man and his players. | 0:53:18 | 0:53:21 | |
And we use our best weapon, cricket. | 0:53:21 | 0:53:24 | |
And we'll bring the lawyers in. Our lawyers. | 0:53:25 | 0:53:28 | |
It's such a pity. He doesn't understand what he's doing. | 0:53:29 | 0:53:33 | |
He's impressive, Tagge. | 0:53:33 | 0:53:35 | |
No, he's not. He's a barbarian. | 0:53:35 | 0:53:39 | |
He doesn't realise this is not just a game. | 0:53:40 | 0:53:43 | |
It's something more than that. | 0:53:45 | 0:53:48 | |
-Oh, Mr Packer, David Hill's arrived. -Good. Hill. | 0:53:55 | 0:53:59 | |
-Mr Packer. -Warner tells me you're a fucking hotshot. That right? | 0:53:59 | 0:54:02 | |
-Well... -I've seen your Sportsnight programme | 0:54:02 | 0:54:06 | |
and I want you doing that here, at nine. | 0:54:06 | 0:54:08 | |
Did he fill you in on the cricket? | 0:54:08 | 0:54:10 | |
Yes, he did. It sounds very exciting. | 0:54:10 | 0:54:12 | |
-Good. Rose, get us some food in here, will you? -Yes, Mr Packer. | 0:54:12 | 0:54:15 | |
You're not at the ABC now, son. | 0:54:15 | 0:54:18 | |
So I want you to start thinking of better ways of filming these games. | 0:54:18 | 0:54:22 | |
I'm sick of looking at the back of batsmen's arses, for one thing. | 0:54:22 | 0:54:26 | |
-Rose, not food. A salad. With meat. -Yes, Mr Packer. | 0:54:26 | 0:54:30 | |
-Lean meat. -Yes, Mr Packer. | 0:54:31 | 0:54:34 | |
And what about directors? You got them yet? | 0:54:34 | 0:54:37 | |
I've approached John Crilly and Brian Morelli. | 0:54:37 | 0:54:40 | |
They're both very keen to come on board. | 0:54:40 | 0:54:42 | |
Yeah, well I've never fucking heard of them. | 0:54:42 | 0:54:44 | |
But if you think they're good, get 'em. | 0:54:44 | 0:54:47 | |
Welcome aboard, son. | 0:54:47 | 0:54:49 | |
-How far out of fucking town are we? -16 miles. | 0:55:11 | 0:55:14 | |
Jesus Christ! | 0:55:15 | 0:55:17 | |
What do you think? | 0:55:22 | 0:55:24 | |
It's not bad, apart from the fact we're in the middle of buggery. | 0:55:24 | 0:55:28 | |
Jesus, look at that mess. | 0:55:32 | 0:55:35 | |
How are those wickets going? | 0:55:37 | 0:55:40 | |
Well, they've started growing at least. | 0:55:40 | 0:55:42 | |
-Kerry. -What? | 0:55:50 | 0:55:52 | |
Night-time cricket. | 0:55:57 | 0:56:00 | |
We only play English times. | 0:56:05 | 0:56:07 | |
Hot places like us and India | 0:56:07 | 0:56:09 | |
playing cricket in 110 degree heat, middle of the day. | 0:56:09 | 0:56:12 | |
-It's bloody madness. -That's true, son. | 0:56:12 | 0:56:15 | |
England runs cricket. Why? Why keep following old English traditions? | 0:56:15 | 0:56:19 | |
We should do it our own bloody way. | 0:56:19 | 0:56:20 | |
Limited over one-dayers. We play them at night. Bang! | 0:56:20 | 0:56:24 | |
Yes, but a night game would finish too late. | 0:56:24 | 0:56:26 | |
We'd have to do half day, half night. You want a drink? | 0:56:26 | 0:56:30 | |
Ah, yeah. | 0:56:30 | 0:56:32 | |
We start in the afternoon when kids finish school and later, | 0:56:32 | 0:56:35 | |
just switch the lights on. Finish at ten. | 0:56:35 | 0:56:38 | |
Yes, that'll fucking work, son. You know why? | 0:56:39 | 0:56:41 | |
Women and kids will come. | 0:56:41 | 0:56:44 | |
We've only got one ground with lights. | 0:56:44 | 0:56:47 | |
-Yeah, we'll get more. -Where? -Dunno yet. | 0:56:47 | 0:56:49 | |
OK. ABC, the BBC with a single camera here. This is where they shoot from. | 0:56:56 | 0:57:00 | |
Kerry reckons he's sick of looking at batsmen's arses. | 0:57:00 | 0:57:03 | |
-So he said. -Aren't we all. | 0:57:03 | 0:57:05 | |
Right, so here's our base point, yeah? | 0:57:05 | 0:57:07 | |
Set camera one here, camera two over there, camera three | 0:57:07 | 0:57:11 | |
on the opposite side over there, camera four up the other end. | 0:57:11 | 0:57:15 | |
We get stumpings, run outs, the lot. | 0:57:15 | 0:57:18 | |
-What do you think, John? -Yeah. Yeah, good. | 0:57:18 | 0:57:22 | |
-How's it look? -It's gonna be tops. | 0:57:31 | 0:57:34 | |
-Five cameras. -Five? I thought you said four. | 0:57:34 | 0:57:37 | |
-No, five's better. -And Colin, we've got this great idea. | 0:57:37 | 0:57:41 | |
-What? -Sound. Record 'em at the wicket. | 0:57:41 | 0:57:44 | |
You can hear the whole bloody thing. | 0:57:44 | 0:57:46 | |
OK, get the guys to sound off one at a time. | 0:57:52 | 0:57:55 | |
RADIO: Clear. Clear. Clear. Looking good. | 0:57:57 | 0:58:00 | |
-OK, all good. -Right. Wicket mics. | 0:58:01 | 0:58:04 | |
How's that for you, Brian? | 0:58:06 | 0:58:09 | |
-RADIO: Clear as a bell. -Good. | 0:58:09 | 0:58:11 | |
Er, what if it rains? | 0:58:11 | 0:58:14 | |
-What's moisture going to do to them? -Yeah, it'll kill it. | 0:58:15 | 0:58:18 | |
Well we can't put a roof over the bloody thing. | 0:58:18 | 0:58:21 | |
-RADIO: Hey, Warren! -What? | 0:58:22 | 0:58:24 | |
Well, it's definitely sticking up more now. | 0:58:38 | 0:58:41 | |
-That feels much better. -More erect. | 0:58:41 | 0:58:44 | |
And it'll save problems later. THEY LAUGH | 0:58:44 | 0:58:47 | |
You, erm, getting this, Brian? | 0:58:47 | 0:58:49 | |
RADIO: Oh, I'm feeling it mate. | 0:58:49 | 0:58:51 | |
They're growing better than we thought. They'll be great pitches. | 0:58:53 | 0:58:56 | |
That's good work, John. | 0:59:00 | 0:59:02 | |
-How do you get them in place? -Ah, we haven't worked that out yet. | 0:59:04 | 0:59:08 | |
Well, if they weigh 25 tonnes it might be a good fucking idea. | 0:59:08 | 0:59:11 | |
Well, the problem is getting them into the centre of the oval without damaging the outfield. | 0:59:11 | 0:59:16 | |
We can't just drag them out there with a tractor. | 0:59:16 | 0:59:18 | |
-So, what's the plan? -We're thinking maybe a hovercraft. | 0:59:18 | 0:59:23 | |
Bullshit. | 0:59:23 | 0:59:25 | |
-Oh, it might be possible. -Hovercraft? | 0:59:25 | 0:59:28 | |
Jesus Christ, who thought that one up? | 0:59:28 | 0:59:30 | |
Look, I don't care if you use flying fucking saucers. | 0:59:36 | 0:59:39 | |
I want to be able to bowl a ball on these things by October. | 0:59:39 | 0:59:42 | |
Notwithstanding anything herein before contained, | 0:59:45 | 0:59:49 | |
the International Cricket Conference, | 0:59:49 | 0:59:51 | |
determined to oppose to the maximum extent | 0:59:51 | 0:59:54 | |
the series of exhibition matches arranged to take place | 0:59:54 | 0:59:57 | |
in the forthcoming Australian summer, has resolved unanimously - | 0:59:57 | 1:00:01 | |
one, that these matches will not be rated as first class matches | 1:00:01 | 1:00:06 | |
and will not appear in the official record. | 1:00:06 | 1:00:09 | |
Two, on October 1st this year, | 1:00:09 | 1:00:12 | |
any player still signed with a private promoter | 1:00:12 | 1:00:15 | |
will be deemed a disapproved person. | 1:00:15 | 1:00:18 | |
Three, any match arranged by Mr Kerry Packer | 1:00:18 | 1:00:21 | |
or Mr Richie Benaud or associated companies will be disapproved. | 1:00:21 | 1:00:26 | |
Four, all players who sign with a private promoter | 1:00:26 | 1:00:29 | |
will face a total ban from Test and domestic cricket, | 1:00:29 | 1:00:33 | |
such ban to be applied by local authorities. Thank you. | 1:00:33 | 1:00:38 | |
Banned! That's it! We see them in court. | 1:00:38 | 1:00:42 | |
And we schedule the Supertest | 1:00:42 | 1:00:44 | |
the same fucking day as the board's Tests. | 1:00:44 | 1:00:47 | |
From now on, no matter what, no-one's available to play for them. | 1:00:47 | 1:00:50 | |
No-one! I'll show those bastards what a ban is, see how they cope. | 1:00:50 | 1:00:54 | |
-Oh, Mr Packer. Jeff Thomson's agent rang. -Yeah, I'll bet he did. | 1:00:54 | 1:00:58 | |
-He's gone, Kerry. And it gets worse. -What? | 1:00:58 | 1:01:01 | |
Alvin Kallicharran and Viv Richards are pulling out as well. | 1:01:01 | 1:01:04 | |
BASTARDS! | 1:01:04 | 1:01:05 | |
OK, we sue 'em! I'll chase those pricks through every court there is! | 1:01:05 | 1:01:09 | |
It might not be a good idea. I think softly, softly might be a better approach, Kerry. | 1:01:09 | 1:01:13 | |
Richie? Fuck 'em! I'll leave 'em barefoot and bankrupt. | 1:01:13 | 1:01:16 | |
And as for this agent, this David Lord bastard. | 1:01:16 | 1:01:19 | |
Have you heard this? Listen to this shit. | 1:01:19 | 1:01:21 | |
You fucking read it! | 1:01:21 | 1:01:23 | |
"This will be the beginning of an exodus from the Packer circus." | 1:01:23 | 1:01:26 | |
Packer fucking circus again! | 1:01:26 | 1:01:28 | |
"The players had followed each other like sheep, | 1:01:28 | 1:01:30 | |
"but now they've had an attack of brains." | 1:01:30 | 1:01:32 | |
-I'm going after him too. -Ah, Kerry... -SHUT UP! | 1:01:32 | 1:01:35 | |
I'm going back to London. | 1:01:40 | 1:01:42 | |
Try and arrange having a go at them in court. | 1:01:42 | 1:01:44 | |
You're coming with me. You too, Chappelli. | 1:01:44 | 1:01:47 | |
ROSE! What is this shit? | 1:01:47 | 1:01:50 | |
It's your usual. It's your chicken... | 1:01:50 | 1:01:52 | |
-Fuck! -LOUD CRASH | 1:01:52 | 1:01:55 | |
Get me some fucking pies or something, will ya? | 1:01:55 | 1:01:58 | |
And you, what are you doing about those pitches? | 1:01:58 | 1:02:01 | |
-The Sydney Cricket... -What are you fucking doing? | 1:02:01 | 1:02:03 | |
-I'm giving the board a shot. I'm hopeful. -Hopeful! | 1:02:03 | 1:02:06 | |
-What fucking good is that? I want that ground. -Sure. | 1:02:06 | 1:02:10 | |
What about umpires? You got any of them yet? | 1:02:10 | 1:02:12 | |
Do your fucking job, why don't you? | 1:02:12 | 1:02:15 | |
Yeah, we knew they'd come at us. Kerry certainly did. | 1:02:26 | 1:02:29 | |
Well, what's he gonna do about it? | 1:02:29 | 1:02:31 | |
Well, we just have to trust him, that he knows what he's doing. | 1:02:31 | 1:02:34 | |
No-one knows what they're doing. That's the point. | 1:02:34 | 1:02:36 | |
No-one thought we'd get banned. | 1:02:36 | 1:02:37 | |
"Disapproved persons." What is this, the 19th century? | 1:02:37 | 1:02:40 | |
But Thommo, you're fully approved though, aren't you, mate? | 1:02:40 | 1:02:43 | |
-You can keep playing. Bloody good for you. -Guys, I had to. | 1:02:43 | 1:02:46 | |
I've got a contract for 4IP in Brissie. | 1:02:46 | 1:02:48 | |
-You had that before you bloody signed. -Yeah, I know. | 1:02:48 | 1:02:50 | |
And now things have gotten messy. They can sue me if I don't pull out. | 1:02:50 | 1:02:53 | |
There's blokes running to their lawyers all over town. | 1:02:53 | 1:02:56 | |
You can't blame them. I never thought I'd get banned from playing Tests. | 1:02:56 | 1:02:59 | |
-That's why I got into cricket. -Mate, we all did. | 1:02:59 | 1:03:01 | |
Kerry didn't think it through. That's his problem. Now we're all buggered. | 1:03:01 | 1:03:05 | |
Hey, you're getting paid a lot of money, Hookesy. | 1:03:05 | 1:03:08 | |
-Bugger the money. -Hookesy. -Yep, he can stick his money. | 1:03:08 | 1:03:11 | |
-Having fun, Kerro? -Harry. | 1:03:41 | 1:03:43 | |
Are you sure you want to do this? | 1:03:51 | 1:03:53 | |
Now's the time to pull the plug if you have any doubts. | 1:03:53 | 1:03:57 | |
I'm gonna get these bastards, Harry. | 1:04:01 | 1:04:04 | |
Well, you might be feeling that way, but I'm your Deputy Chairman and I have a corporation to run. | 1:04:04 | 1:04:10 | |
I can't afford all of this. | 1:04:10 | 1:04:13 | |
You've no set budget, | 1:04:13 | 1:04:15 | |
you've no corporate direction | 1:04:15 | 1:04:17 | |
and you've spent several million dollars. | 1:04:17 | 1:04:20 | |
-Now's the time to rein it in. -I know. | 1:04:20 | 1:04:22 | |
And you've got Gavin Warner running the show. | 1:04:22 | 1:04:25 | |
Do you think he's up to it? | 1:04:25 | 1:04:27 | |
-Do you? -You've got nowhere decent to play. | 1:04:27 | 1:04:30 | |
You've missed out on the Gabba | 1:04:30 | 1:04:33 | |
and now there's this negative announcement | 1:04:33 | 1:04:35 | |
from the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust. Have you seen it? | 1:04:35 | 1:04:38 | |
There's more crusty old men sitting behind closed doors, Harry. | 1:04:38 | 1:04:42 | |
But they've got the high ground and you haven't. | 1:04:42 | 1:04:45 | |
I've got VFL Park. | 1:04:45 | 1:04:47 | |
A lot of good that'll do you. | 1:04:47 | 1:04:50 | |
These cricketers of yours that they've banned... | 1:04:50 | 1:04:52 | |
..you realise it's just the first shot. | 1:04:53 | 1:04:55 | |
They'll keep coming at you. | 1:04:55 | 1:04:57 | |
Ask yourself, is all of this worth it? | 1:04:59 | 1:05:04 | |
No. No, we hit this International Cricket Conference | 1:05:26 | 1:05:28 | |
-with everything we've got. -That'll take a bit of time. | 1:05:28 | 1:05:31 | |
I'll get a QC and stick it into the High Court. | 1:05:31 | 1:05:34 | |
If they want to bowl bouncers we'll fight the way they want. | 1:05:34 | 1:05:37 | |
-It turns out Viv's not going after all. -Good. | 1:05:37 | 1:05:41 | |
But we've got to go after Thomson and Kallicharran, Kerry. | 1:05:41 | 1:05:43 | |
Plus in Adelaide, The Don's got his claws into Hookesy. | 1:05:43 | 1:05:47 | |
We'd better move on him, too. | 1:05:47 | 1:05:49 | |
Ah, let 'em go. We don't want blokes who don't want to play. | 1:05:52 | 1:05:55 | |
We have to be able to trust them at their word. | 1:05:55 | 1:05:57 | |
You can't force someone to stick to their word, son. | 1:05:57 | 1:06:00 | |
If they don't, there's nothing to do, except never forget it. | 1:06:00 | 1:06:05 | |
It's getting harder. | 1:06:17 | 1:06:19 | |
Yeah, it is. | 1:06:21 | 1:06:24 | |
This first game at VFL Park is haunting me. | 1:06:28 | 1:06:32 | |
I'm sorry about all this money going out the door. | 1:06:32 | 1:06:36 | |
The money doesn't matter, son. It's what comes at you. | 1:06:36 | 1:06:39 | |
My father, he always used to say, "Don't expect to be liked." | 1:06:41 | 1:06:46 | |
But it is hard to cop sometimes. | 1:06:50 | 1:06:53 | |
-Anyway, my father used to stay in this suite. -This same one? | 1:07:00 | 1:07:04 | |
Yeah, me and Clyde'd watch Mother | 1:07:07 | 1:07:10 | |
and Father dancing downstairs in the ballroom. | 1:07:10 | 1:07:13 | |
She was a beautiful dancer. | 1:07:17 | 1:07:21 | |
I always admired that. I never did learn to dance myself. | 1:07:22 | 1:07:28 | |
I'll teach you to dance, Kerry. | 1:07:28 | 1:07:31 | |
Come on. | 1:07:36 | 1:07:39 | |
Ah, you have a dance with golden boy over there | 1:07:41 | 1:07:44 | |
and just let me sit in my misery. | 1:07:44 | 1:07:46 | |
Up you get. Come on. | 1:07:46 | 1:07:49 | |
There we go. | 1:07:51 | 1:07:53 | |
I can hear my bones creaking. | 1:07:53 | 1:07:55 | |
All right, so... | 1:07:55 | 1:07:58 | |
Strong grip. And relax. | 1:07:58 | 1:08:01 | |
Follow my feet. Move forward. | 1:08:04 | 1:08:08 | |
Back. | 1:08:08 | 1:08:10 | |
And now let's go to the side...now your way... | 1:08:10 | 1:08:14 | |
..and side again. | 1:08:16 | 1:08:18 | |
That's it, and again. | 1:08:18 | 1:08:20 | |
Back...then right. | 1:08:20 | 1:08:24 | |
And back. | 1:08:24 | 1:08:27 | |
Kerry, you're a natural. | 1:08:28 | 1:08:30 | |
-Mr Packer. -How are you today? This is Mr Tony Greig. | 1:08:45 | 1:08:49 | |
-Yes, we know. -We're members of the MCC. | 1:08:49 | 1:08:52 | |
So Mr Packer, it's our understanding the ICC is proposing a ban | 1:08:56 | 1:09:00 | |
on some cricket players and you are seeking a writ to restrain them | 1:09:00 | 1:09:05 | |
from this course of action. | 1:09:05 | 1:09:07 | |
Correct. So, who's the best QC in town? | 1:09:07 | 1:09:10 | |
I'm sorry, Mr Packer, it doesn't quite work like that. | 1:09:10 | 1:09:13 | |
Well, you tell me, then. How does it fucking work? | 1:09:13 | 1:09:16 | |
There are a good many fine silks in London, as you can imagine. | 1:09:16 | 1:09:19 | |
I can. So, who's the best? | 1:09:19 | 1:09:22 | |
Mr Packer, there is no best. | 1:09:22 | 1:09:25 | |
Things might be different in Australia, | 1:09:25 | 1:09:28 | |
but the English legal fraternity | 1:09:28 | 1:09:30 | |
has a large number of quite outstanding barristers... | 1:09:30 | 1:09:33 | |
Are you listening? Did you not understand the fucking question? | 1:09:33 | 1:09:37 | |
Mr Packer, you will understandably want to expedite your matter. | 1:09:37 | 1:09:43 | |
Any silk of the stature you're after will be booked for months. | 1:09:45 | 1:09:49 | |
-Maybe years. -And there's the question of fees. -Exactly. | 1:09:49 | 1:09:53 | |
These men can command very substantial sums of money. | 1:09:53 | 1:09:57 | |
Thank you for that interesting walk through the Black Forest, gentlemen. | 1:09:57 | 1:10:01 | |
Mr Greig and I are going to go out and have an enjoyable round of golf. | 1:10:01 | 1:10:04 | |
So we will go and do that and when we get back, | 1:10:04 | 1:10:08 | |
you lot have a name ready for me. How about that? | 1:10:08 | 1:10:11 | |
You see, I know how this works. I've done it before. | 1:10:11 | 1:10:14 | |
You give me the name of the top bloke, I call him, | 1:10:14 | 1:10:18 | |
I offer him more fucking money than anybody else, | 1:10:18 | 1:10:21 | |
he drops everything and comes to work for me. | 1:10:21 | 1:10:24 | |
Well... | 1:10:31 | 1:10:33 | |
-Alexander? -No doubt. -We recommend Robert Alexander. | 1:10:36 | 1:10:41 | |
He's an absolutely remarkable silk. But he's prohibitively busy. | 1:10:41 | 1:10:45 | |
-Good. I'll have him. -This could be difficult. | 1:10:45 | 1:10:48 | |
Look, if you can't do it, give me his fucking number. I'll do it. | 1:10:48 | 1:10:52 | |
We'll arrange it for you. | 1:10:53 | 1:10:55 | |
That didn't take too fucking long, did it? | 1:10:55 | 1:10:57 | |
Now, who's your second best? | 1:10:59 | 1:11:02 | |
Do we really need both of them? | 1:11:03 | 1:11:05 | |
Listen, son, if I'm trying to back the winner at Wimbledon | 1:11:05 | 1:11:08 | |
I'd rather have my money on the top seeds. | 1:11:08 | 1:11:11 | |
Tell Chappelli to get the fellas up to my room. | 1:11:13 | 1:11:17 | |
I want to have a chat. | 1:11:17 | 1:11:19 | |
I want to thank you for selecting me | 1:11:40 | 1:11:42 | |
but I'm sorry, Kerry, I have to resign. | 1:11:42 | 1:11:45 | |
There's a whole "Keep Hookesy At Home" thing in Adelaide, | 1:11:45 | 1:11:48 | |
and I feel as though I owe these people my allegiance. | 1:11:48 | 1:11:51 | |
Allegiance, shit. | 1:11:53 | 1:11:55 | |
I feel as though I owe these people... | 1:11:55 | 1:11:59 | |
I feel as though have an obligation to these people. | 1:11:59 | 1:12:02 | |
And besides, I've already got a really good job in Adelaide. | 1:12:02 | 1:12:05 | |
PHONE RINGS | 1:12:05 | 1:12:07 | |
Yeah? All right, I'm coming. | 1:12:09 | 1:12:11 | |
I want to thank you, Kerry, but I have to resign. | 1:12:26 | 1:12:29 | |
I have an obligation to Adelaide. I'm sorry. | 1:12:29 | 1:12:32 | |
GENERAL CHATTER | 1:13:01 | 1:13:04 | |
You met him before? | 1:13:23 | 1:13:26 | |
-Have you met him before? -No, this is my first time. | 1:13:28 | 1:13:33 | |
-You scared? -Nup. | 1:13:33 | 1:13:35 | |
-No, you don't look it. -I'm not. | 1:13:36 | 1:13:39 | |
-Righto. -Piss off, Bacchus. | 1:13:41 | 1:13:44 | |
HE LAUGHS | 1:13:44 | 1:13:46 | |
KNOCKS ON DOOR | 1:13:48 | 1:13:49 | |
Hey, Bacchus. | 1:13:49 | 1:13:51 | |
Bacchus! | 1:13:53 | 1:13:55 | |
-KNOCK ON DOOR -Hookesy. Hey, you in there? | 1:13:57 | 1:14:02 | |
Welcome to London. | 1:14:14 | 1:14:16 | |
Richie. | 1:14:17 | 1:14:19 | |
CLINKING | 1:14:19 | 1:14:21 | |
Right. | 1:14:24 | 1:14:26 | |
I want to thank you all for joining us on this venture. | 1:14:26 | 1:14:30 | |
Now, if Thomson and Kallicharran piss off, that's fine. | 1:14:30 | 1:14:34 | |
We're not going to chase them. We'll let them go. | 1:14:34 | 1:14:37 | |
And as for the rest of us, this ban on us, | 1:14:37 | 1:14:43 | |
the only thing we have to fall back on is our loyalty, | 1:14:43 | 1:14:47 | |
our obligation to each other. | 1:14:47 | 1:14:50 | |
And if we stick together, keep our eye on the ball, | 1:14:52 | 1:14:55 | |
people will come to understand what it is we're doing. | 1:14:55 | 1:14:59 | |
Now, we've got this all-important first game at VFL Park coming up, | 1:15:01 | 1:15:06 | |
and I want to tell you something. | 1:15:06 | 1:15:08 | |
It will be a smash. | 1:15:08 | 1:15:10 | |
People will come to see you | 1:15:11 | 1:15:13 | |
because you are the best. | 1:15:13 | 1:15:17 | |
So anyone else having second thoughts? | 1:15:20 | 1:15:23 | |
What about you, Dougie? Sure you're in? | 1:15:25 | 1:15:27 | |
Oh, I'm in, Kerry. | 1:15:27 | 1:15:29 | |
-Good. McCosker? -Yeah, I'm in, Kerry. | 1:15:29 | 1:15:33 | |
-Mick? -Bloody oath. | 1:15:33 | 1:15:35 | |
-Good. Bacchus? -No worries, Kerry. | 1:15:35 | 1:15:38 | |
-Book shelf? -Can't wait, Kerry. | 1:15:41 | 1:15:43 | |
-The other Kerry, Mr O'Keeffe. -I'll be there. | 1:15:43 | 1:15:47 | |
Excellent. Mr Davis? | 1:15:47 | 1:15:49 | |
Yes, I'm in, Kerry. | 1:15:49 | 1:15:51 | |
-You, son? -Hundred percent. | 1:16:00 | 1:16:02 | |
-Gee, he's good. -Yeah. | 1:16:02 | 1:16:05 | |
-Mr Lenny Pascoe? -Yeah, mate. | 1:16:05 | 1:16:08 | |
-Swanno? -Yes, Kerry. | 1:16:08 | 1:16:10 | |
Great. What about you, David? | 1:16:10 | 1:16:12 | |
Um, Mr Packer... | 1:16:15 | 1:16:17 | |
-What? -I want to thank you for selecting me... | 1:16:17 | 1:16:20 | |
I didn't select you, son. Chappelli did. Thank him. | 1:16:20 | 1:16:24 | |
Right. Um, I want to thank you for selecting me... | 1:16:27 | 1:16:30 | |
You already fucking did that. Are you in or what? | 1:16:30 | 1:16:33 | |
-I got a good job in Adelaide. -Doing what? | 1:16:33 | 1:16:35 | |
-At a tyre fitting depot... -A tyre depot? | 1:16:35 | 1:16:39 | |
I'll tell you what, son. | 1:16:46 | 1:16:48 | |
I'll buy the fucking place, then I'll be your boss | 1:16:48 | 1:16:50 | |
and you can play cricket any time you want. | 1:16:50 | 1:16:52 | |
How about that? You in? | 1:16:52 | 1:16:53 | |
-Yep. -Yep? -Yes. -Good, welcome aboard. | 1:16:53 | 1:16:56 | |
Tangles, what the fuck are you doing here? | 1:16:56 | 1:16:58 | |
I don't remember signing you up. All right! | 1:16:58 | 1:17:00 | |
-Charge your glasses. -You don't drink, Kerry. | 1:17:00 | 1:17:02 | |
No, I'm going to make an exception in your case, Chappelli. | 1:17:02 | 1:17:05 | |
To the best cricketers in the world... | 1:17:08 | 1:17:10 | |
..playing the best cricket in the world, | 1:17:12 | 1:17:15 | |
with the best fucking boss in the world! | 1:17:15 | 1:17:18 | |
To World Series Cricket! | 1:17:18 | 1:17:20 | |
ALL: To World Series Cricket! | 1:17:20 | 1:17:22 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 1:17:26 | 1:17:29 | |
As we discussed on Tuesday, a locally-produced Playboy magazine | 1:17:51 | 1:17:56 | |
would fill the niche identified by J...J. Walter Thompson. | 1:17:56 | 1:18:02 | |
You want to take off, Rosie? | 1:18:02 | 1:18:05 | |
Mr Chester. | 1:18:05 | 1:18:08 | |
You weren't listening, Kerro. We're now haemorrhaging money. | 1:18:21 | 1:18:25 | |
-It's not good business. -It will be. | 1:18:25 | 1:18:28 | |
Stop it. Stop it now. | 1:18:29 | 1:18:31 | |
We'll take the hit on six million. | 1:18:31 | 1:18:34 | |
I can't. | 1:18:34 | 1:18:36 | |
Yes, you can. | 1:18:36 | 1:18:37 | |
You lose this court case, you'll be going out backwards. | 1:18:37 | 1:18:40 | |
Well, I've come this far, Harry. I can't go back now. | 1:18:40 | 1:18:43 | |
Who are you, Macbeth? | 1:18:43 | 1:18:45 | |
-Of course you can. -These blokes are relying on me. | 1:18:45 | 1:18:48 | |
And I've said before, I can't abandon them now. | 1:18:50 | 1:18:52 | |
Kerro, you've changed cricket. | 1:18:54 | 1:18:56 | |
They're being offered all sorts of money from their boards. | 1:18:56 | 1:18:59 | |
The game'll never look back. | 1:18:59 | 1:19:01 | |
-This game you've got at VFL Park... -It'll work, Harry. You'll see. | 1:19:02 | 1:19:08 | |
It has to. | 1:19:08 | 1:19:10 | |
Here we go, son. This is it. | 1:19:20 | 1:19:22 | |
What do you reckon? 10,000? 20,000? | 1:19:22 | 1:19:25 | |
-I wouldn't put a figure on it. -Why not? Your ads are fucking great. | 1:19:25 | 1:19:29 | |
-Warner reckons more than 20. -Kerry, the place holds nearly 80. | 1:19:29 | 1:19:31 | |
Don't get ahead of yourself, son. | 1:19:31 | 1:19:33 | |
My money's on 15,000. How much do you wanna bet? | 1:19:33 | 1:19:36 | |
How am I going to match you on a bet? | 1:19:36 | 1:19:38 | |
Bet you five grand. How's that? | 1:19:38 | 1:19:40 | |
-No way. -Two grand. -Piss off. -You're a fucking piker, son. | 1:19:40 | 1:19:43 | |
It's starting. Here they come. | 1:20:27 | 1:20:30 | |
Kerry. Just got a call from London. | 1:20:49 | 1:20:52 | |
The court case. | 1:20:52 | 1:20:54 | |
-He's due to give his judgement Tuesday night our time. -Right. | 1:20:54 | 1:20:59 | |
I don't need to tell you what an historic day this is. | 1:21:11 | 1:21:15 | |
What an historic cricket match this is about to be. | 1:21:15 | 1:21:18 | |
I've given everything I have to cricket. | 1:21:20 | 1:21:23 | |
And now I find myself a disapproved person, | 1:21:24 | 1:21:28 | |
apparently excluded from my life's work. | 1:21:28 | 1:21:31 | |
Everyone in this room is disapproved. | 1:21:32 | 1:21:36 | |
But not for long. | 1:21:39 | 1:21:41 | |
The game is bigger than those who are trying to strangle it. | 1:21:42 | 1:21:46 | |
And today, here in this arena... | 1:21:46 | 1:21:50 | |
..we begin the process of proving them wrong. | 1:21:52 | 1:21:55 | |
They said it couldn't be done. | 1:22:01 | 1:22:04 | |
Now we're doing it. | 1:22:04 | 1:22:07 | |
It's time to show all those bastards out there having a go at us | 1:22:07 | 1:22:12 | |
what we can do. | 1:22:12 | 1:22:14 | |
The rest of the world's out there waiting for us, gentlemen. | 1:22:15 | 1:22:20 | |
I don't mean Greigy's team, I mean the rest of the world. | 1:22:20 | 1:22:26 | |
The crowd that believe in cricket. | 1:22:28 | 1:22:31 | |
The hundreds of thousands of people out there in the world, | 1:22:31 | 1:22:36 | |
just waiting to see how we go. | 1:22:36 | 1:22:39 | |
So let's show 'em. | 1:22:42 | 1:22:44 | |
THEY CLAP | 1:22:44 | 1:22:46 | |
-Come on, boys! -THEY CHEER | 1:22:48 | 1:22:51 | |
MUTED APPLAUSE | 1:22:59 | 1:23:01 | |
-Righto, Greigy. -Tails. | 1:23:25 | 1:23:27 | |
You can bat, Chappelli. | 1:23:30 | 1:23:33 | |
Right. | 1:23:33 | 1:23:35 | |
Thanks, John. | 1:23:35 | 1:23:37 | |
And opening the batting for Australia, | 1:23:42 | 1:23:45 | |
Ian Davis and Rick McCosker. | 1:23:45 | 1:23:47 | |
LOUD CRASH | 1:24:11 | 1:24:14 | |
