I watched this last night. How have I never seen it before? Have YOU seen it??? It's all about The Ashes summer of 1981
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1891806/

It was really, really good. Some things I didn't know before - they only found out if they were in the team the Sunday before the match on the radio!

I was only 17 and didn't understand the animosity between Kim Hughes and Lillee and Marsh. That was very well explained. What a nasty piece of work Marsh is?!

The odds for England winning was 500-1 so Lillee and Marsh put a £5 bet on it which shows the contempt they had for Hughes. "If any captain could mess this up, it would be Hughes." They said they'd have never done that under Chappell.

Absolutely fascinating and it's available to watch on ITV player
