A "Chariots of Fire" for cricket. Fortunately for non-cricket fans totally forgiving of ignorance of the sport and indeed provides a bluffers intro. Leaves you understanding the political /emotional effect the Bodyline controversy had on cricketing nations like Australia. Very one sided against England (other than for the working-class) and gave no shades of grey - the captain of England was made out to be worse than Genghis Khan because of his (legal) sporting tactics! Excellent nonetheless.
