[TV] The Edge - the story of the England cricket team’s rise to the top.

[Bozza]

Maybe it's been mentioned on here before but I'd missed it if so, and just chanced upon this on iPlayer.

Fantastic 90 minutes or so following England under Andy Flower - both the good and the bad.

Something something U2.

There, saved everyone the effort.

Do they get a little black beanie cap to mark every international appearance?

Should never have stepped down after the Ashes whitewash. There's always a blip. It's easy to forget Duncan Fletcher's work though (Unless one-day cricket means more to you). In fact, for me it was the third day of the Durban Test match in December 2004 that made me think the tide was turning.

But the Ashes 2010/11 will always be foremost in my memory.

Not watched it yet. It is directed by a (local) lad I know - played cricket with his Dad.

It's quite, errrrm, funky with some of the B-roll filler bits, but still compulsive viewing I thought.

Compelling viewing.

Really enjoyed it. Highlighted how creating and maintaining success can sometimes, maybe more often than not, be detrimental to individuals and then ultimately a team in the long run. Thought it had a few similarities to Michael Jordans, The Last Dance, which I'd also recommend.

Also, excellent sound track from the former Maccabees guitarist and cricket lover, Felix White.

As cricket is favourite thing in the world ever and The Maccabees are probs in my top 3 bands, I'm glad I wasn't disappointed with it!

Bozza (can't figure out how to tag you) - Are there any cricket emoji's we can add to the selection?

It is very good.

I’m sure you’ve seen it but if not give “The Test” a watch on Prime, best Cricket documentary I’ve seen in a long time and has given me a new found respect for the Australian Cricket team!

 

[Bodian]

One of the best documentaries I have seen - well worth watching.

 

[Machiavelli]

Fire in a Babylon is a documentary about a much better cricket team. Just saying.

For those that enjoyed it, Barney Douglas also wrote and directed this one, about young Masai Warriors playing cricket.

Watching now and loving it.

Right up there with any 30 for 30 from across the pond.
(Praise doesn't get any higher, from me).

It was shot by Lucas Tucknott who also shot my film Cage... and this! In fact the scenes in it where they burn stuff were shot in the Romney Hut at Newhaven Fort... as was Cage!

I bumped into Barney once in an Antiguan resort bar on Good Friday 2004 watching an Arsenal game on TV at 8am in the morning.
