End of an era. April 2018 marks the end of channel 9's association with cricket broadcasting in Australia. Thanks for 40 years of memories and amazing moments. We'll never forget all the innovations channel nine have given us including weatherwall, stumpcam and classic catches.
Same. Nine did a fantastic job with covering the summer of cricket for more than 4 decades and many Australians were able to watch every ball of every match live and free.
That one piece of bill lawry gold from the 1993 ashes stood the test of time and features in the intros from 1996. Spine tingling piece of commentary. (Hughes bowled gatting on the last ball of the day during one of the tests)
That 1989 version is just awesome. As a kid of the 80s I didn't find cricket that fun to watch, but man that intro was fantastic. Even seeing it today (in 2022) it's great.
Same. When Nine lost the Cricket, cricket went downhill in Australia. After years of watching cricket, it just not the same. Nine did a great job and they showed every ball live.
Copeland's 'FANFARE FOR THE COMMON MAN' (1942) will be forever loved by Australians, as they remember it as being the "Theme' of many Summers of Cricket. It was a stroke of genius for Channel 9 to use this piece of music to 'herald' the Days' play. Before 10.00a.m. of a morning we needed to have all chores done, the kettle would be on for Mum, a cold drink would be in the refridge for dad, and everyone would be settled in the living room, ready for a day spent watching Australian greats excel.
It was Channel 7 that used the ELP version of Fanfare for the Common Man on its sports broadcats, not 9. The 9 theme is known as New Horizons, written in 1974 by Brian Bennett who was the drummer for the Shadows. Originally, it was the theme for a short--lived cop show called Bluey, and Packer liked it so much he had them use it for WSC telecasts. After WSC, 9 used it on their coverage of official cricket.
Love it! Brings back memories of watching cricket in childhood and during teens! :) Those late 90s and early 2000s starting themes really psyched me up for the game.
They occasionally showed Channel 9 stuff in England - usually if a match was held up by rain. I remember those first opening titles and the theme tune from BBC coverage in the early 80s
Bill Lawry’s commentary after Hughes bowled Gatting with the last ball of the day in the 1993 Ashes makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck!! I’m an England fan as well !!
97 was when i really started to get into cricket and the intro from that time brings back memories and gives me goosebumps every time. I was always soo excited to get up early in the morning to watch the Ashes or just any test cricket that Australia was playing.
2003 version is nice from a design aesthetic POV. Won a few awards if I remember. The 82 was is cheesy but good with what technology was available. Chappells shit eating grin made my arteries clog up lol.
IND WON 2 BACK TO BACK TEST SERIES, SADLY IT WAS ON FOX AND NOT ON LEGENDARY CHANNEL 9 , O HOW RICHIE WOULD HAVE SEEN AND COMMENTED ON IT, WAT A MISS, ONLY THIS MUSIC REMINDS HIM OF GREAT SHOW MAN ON EARTH, SUPER, AMAZING..
Great the brought back the 06/07 opener this summer. Always been the best one by a long way. Like the 82/83 one too. It's a bit shit but in a cool, retro way. The 13/14 was good but it omitted bowled him, the last ball can you believe that. Unforgivable.
What is Channel 7 coverage like? I left Australia years ago haven't seen the cricket since about 2009 it must seem strange now long summers but no cricket on 9. This video brings back memories of watching Lillee steam in with the yobs in the outer singing his name great days long ago...
Not as good as Channel 9's. The HD coverage of the Cricket itself is good, but it doesn't have the same feel. On 9, Ian Healy was filmed doing a skit with The Richies at the SCG, there's none of that anymore.
I appreciate the Aussies must be attached to the ‘murder mystery’ sounding theme tune as much as us poms are to soul limbo. Interesting that in the 90s the Union Jack was used for England rather than St George flag. Still, it must be difficult living upside down and having a heatwave when it should be snowing.
Looks like the end of an era for Channel 9. Wont be hearing this theme anymore as it looks like Foxtel have the got the rights for next 6 years. Although they will have to broadcast with FTA with either 7 or 10.
Its stupid that Channel 9 decided (for whatever reason) not to continue to acquire the cricket rights going forward (or not to pay whatever money the rights holders actually wanted) and went for the (far crappier) tennis instead giving 7 the cricket.
not sure I think Kerry would probably be saying well played to News Corp and Kerry Stokes. remember it was Kerry Packer that with Rupert and News Corp took the Aussie rules footy away from Kerry Stokes and Seven after 45 years. its all fair in business. remember when then ACB wouldn't sell the rights to Kerry Packer and Nine and they stuck with ABC. besides Nine Network didn't want it anymore. their financiers told them to get more without extra cost or dump it and dump it they did. they have the Tennis now anyway breaking Seven's 40 plus stranglehold they barely held on last time when Network Ten put in a 500 million dollar bid.

I never watched the fox cricket. Men’s Odis and t20s were exclusive to pay tv and I was bitterly disappointed. I haven’t got access to watching the cricket on Pay tv. Instead I watched the tests on 7.
The current one is fantastic IMO and you're probably the first person I've seen to dislike it. But I do think they should bring back the 1996-2005 theme for ODI's or T20I's.
Dont think i'm the first person to dislike it. Many out there that dont like that. The 96-2005 theme had Bill Lawry's voice of got him which was so unique of 9's coverage. If they are to get the rights from next year, I think their opening titles need a makeover.
WOS You do realise Lawry's voice appears in this summer's intro as well? It appears at the end. I'm pretty sure there will be a different intro next year as they are using the 2006/07 one this summer. Maybe something similar to this: ruclips.net/video/znnsvLW7c9A/видео.html

Definitely.

It really doesn't. 😕
for me the best was the 1997/98 and the 2002/03 theme music...kind of hard rock guitar music...loved it
BOWLED HIM!!!!
off the last ball can you believe that
Apart from the 2013/14/15 version, that line is in every single intro montage from '97 onwards!
You know, for about 20 years, I could never work out Bill’s commentary properly! All I could decipher was the “BOLWED HIM” part!
I really miss hearing this during the summer. Watching the cricket has never been the same since 7 took over the broadcasts
Love Channel 9 , the music that rule our hearts and continues to let us live in tough times, sad relationships and gloom,
The best. Enough said. Some of them are so emotional for me. As it’s an era of cricket we’ll never get back.
Super effort that... just marvellous

The 1989 version is my favourite. Goosebumps!
That was the first picture of cricket in my life, before that I didn't know what cricket was. The music was the unofficial anthem of the game.
1986/87 for me was the first series I remember. Watching highlights of it here in England. We were bloody good in that series!!
Thank u channel 9 you were simply marvellous

I loved it when they brought back the orchestral version in the '06/'07 series, it brought back a lot of happy memories.
I really like the 1986/87 intro with its early style CGI images and effects
The first series I remember. We were bloody good!! Shame it was the last time we would win the Ashes for 18 years!!
Rest in Peace :'(
1982/83 is the best for me. It plays twice. Along with 1986/87 and 2010/11 because they’re the only times we’ve won in Australia in my lifetime.

How good was Australia winning the World Test Championship, Retaining the Ashes, and The World Cup in 2023.
Anyone besides me like the one where it showed the history of the game, the test match.
Yeah that was a good one.
40 years… marvellous effort, that!
I have zero interest in cricket but that is one powerful theme tune, especially the original brass-laden version.
super themes love channel 9 , bill and richie,, dream boys to hear...

Dunno why it had to go all ACDC in the 90s.
Because it was "cool"

I might be wrong because it is a faint memory, but the 1989 intro in this video is the same as I rememeber the 90/91 intro to be.
It was the same until the 1992 world cup at the earliest.

9 ashes not rip yet not yet not never the best intro ever of ashes
2002 03 version is best for mine. Some memories are associate with them.
Channel 9 where told by a financial advisory company to drop the cricket
Even though the England flag was wrong, there's a real punch to the 1999 intro that still holds up today.
