  • The Packer Cricket War
    7 RICHARD CASHMAN The Packer cricket war There is no doubt that the dramatic intervention of Australian media magnate Kerry Packer in Australian and world cricket in 1977 repre- sented a great upheaval that appeared cataclysmic and confusing at the time. Supporters of WSC variously labelled it as a ‘great cricket hijack’ (Christopher Forsyth), a ‘staggering coup’ (Trevor Kennedy) and even a ‘democratic revolution’ (Andrew Caro). Others contended that WSC con- tributed to the ‘Americanisation of cricket’ (Chris Harte), the ‘proletarianisa- tion of cricket’ (Adrian McGregor) and the promotion of hyper-masculine values (Bill Bonney). Because World Series Cricket had been such a well-kept secret for more than six months, the cricket world was stunned after Australian journalists Peter McFarline and Alan Shiell reported the news on 9 May 1977. The cricket establishment reacted with a great sense of outrage and betrayal at what it regarded as an underhand attack on world cricket traditions and authority. The world cricket media, with relatively few exceptions, condemned and denigrated WSC. The upheaval in world cricket was described vari- ously as a ‘circus’, ‘Packerball’ and ‘Packer cricket’ rather than by its name, World Series Cricket, which had been registered on 16 August 1976. After night cricket and coloured clothing were introduced another pejorative term, pyjama cricket, was added to the list. Players who signed up with Packer were described as ‘a bunch of money-hungry mercenaries’ (Eric Beecher). Such descriptions questioned the legitimacy of WSC and Kerry Packer was demonised in the press as an ogre with a ‘meat-mangler smile’. 1 Surprisingly, after just two years of a bitterly fought war, a rapprochement was announced on 30 May 1979 and the World Series Cricket war was over.
