:08:05. > :08:06.means that the industry does not require help.
:08:07. > :08:09.What we want to see is, and this is actually a good scheme,

:09:20. > :09:22.I think it will be open and a draw really doesn't
:09:23. > :09:26.So something will have to give, you would imagine.
:09:27. > :09:31.But then if it is a draw, we have to see what happens
:09:32. > :09:32.elsewhere, of course, with the other results.
:09:33. > :09:35.This was always going to be a tight group, a tight campaign.

:10:52. > :10:56.Fred Rumsey. You looked at the. I was young. I didn't care what was
:10:57. > :11:03.said of me or what they did with me, I just felt it was grossly unfair
:11:04. > :11:07.that the players were in a period of development that they were having
:11:08. > :11:12.nothing at all to say about. They weren't even allowed to comment on
:11:13. > :11:16.whether they should start at two o'clock in the afternoon on the
:11:17. > :11:21.Sunday... Even the church had more say than the players! Said they were
:11:22. > :11:26.almost like servants of the game? Yes, total servants. Servants.
:11:27. > :11:30.Australian players would not recognise that term. They confronted

:11:43. > :11:46.Players are powerful and Rumsey, in general, approves. Why not come if
:11:47. > :11:50.you're a professional and you have your bat or your ball as your tool?
:11:51. > :11:55.Take it where ever you can get the income. In the 1960s, Fred Rumsey

:12:08. > :12:11.bring a lot of the people from my era into this era and say that. 50
:12:12. > :12:16.years ago Fred Rumsey decided cricketers should be paid and
