  • Issue 40: Summer 2009/10
    Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library Issue 40, Summer 2009 This Issue From our Summer 2009/10 edition Ken Williams looks at the fi rst Pakistan tour of Australia, 45 years ago. We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010.

  • 2003-2004 Annual Report (Complete Report)
    through australian eyes The National Broadcaster through australian eyes Eric Campbell ANNUAL REPORT 04 australian broadcasting corporation Annual Report 2003-04 through australian eyes Over the last seven years Eric Campbell has Eric Campbell reported to Australians from some of the most remote and challenging places on earth. ‘To me, Foreign Correspondent as a journalist, being a foreign correspondent is the pinnacle. You get entrée to extraordinary people and places and to intense experiences. It’s special. You are doing something that people in other parts of the industry are not. It’s very rare to meet a reporter from another Australian network.’ His assignments have included reporting the wars in Chechnya, Afghanistan and the Balkans, tracking polar bears in the Arctic, filming at secret military bases in central Russia and travelling by sled with nomadic reindeer herders in Siberia. Eric joined the ABC in 1986 and worked with The Investigators and Quantum as well as news and current affairs. He applied for several overseas positions, ‘I spent a year learning Japanese thinking I’d probably go there’. Finally in 1996 he was given the Moscow posting for three years. He found it very interesting although, ‘when I was there it was still fairly grim—they were trying to come to terms with the new order.’ In marked contrast to correspondents from overseas networks ABC reporters operate as a compact unit—usually just the reporter and a cameraman. ‘ABC foreign correspondents are on duty 24/7. Most days are 12 to 14 hours, but if travelling, an 18-hour day is not unusual.’ Eric is writing a book about the last seven years, there are so many stories and memories and friendships.

  • It's 40 Years Since World Series Cricket Changed Everything, From
    The towering figure of Tony Greig. It’s 40 years since World Series Cricket changed everything, from the way the game was played to the way it was televised – the way, in fact, sport was televised. It introduced coloured apparel, lights, day-night Tests and one-dayers – the list is endless. People look back now with fondness at the WSC revolt, suggested at first by Dennis Lillee, instigated by some of the world’s best players, funded by Kerry Packer. Two of our interviewees, Clive Rice and Tony Greig, are now sadly departed, but our intrepid correspondent, CRISPIN ANDREWS, had long-ago managed to get their thoughts on the Packer revolution. He managed to track down many of the other protagonists recently. Here are their memories of one of the biggest upheavals ever witnessed in world sport. INSIDE CRICKET 51 DECEMBER 2017 Packer faces some of the music he helped create, after the news of WSC broke. n December 2, 1977, an Australian and didn’t hesitate to sign, and then sign up as team captained by Ian Chappell faced “I’D PUT IT ON THE much talent as he could, for Packer’s “circus”, Clive Lloyd’s West Indians at as it was dubbed then.

Abstract My grandfather collected autographs — Kingsford Smith, Dame Nellie Melba, Jardine’s English cricket team and Don Bradman’s Australian from the infamous Body line Series.... Don Bradman’s autograph was there three times, from different decades. Having left England shortly before the First World War with his mother and sister, my grandfather arrived in Australia full of notions of Empire. The English cricket team was both an expeditionary force, and in the vanguard of the defence of the realm. It was more than a sporting team. And leaving the corpse of his recently suicided father behind, my grandfather made the transition to his new home easier by carrying the values and ‘manners’ of his cricketing heroes with him. He remained a lifelong supporter of the English cricket team, and would later bet with judges and politicians on long or short odds for English victories against the Australians.
