Interesting dcoumentary. And now we benefit from knowing what has played out over the enusing 10 years. Not saying the following is the FULL story, but today's Sydney Morning Herald had the following headline and text: "Test cricket is in another golden age - and it might be T20 that saved it: Wildly unpredictable results. Teams regularly winning away from home. Runs being scored at a remarkable rate. Test cricket is in rare form. Now we just need the spinners to get a bowl."
Test Cricket is still alive and arguably in better shape now then it was 10 years ago. Whilst this documentary made some good points, its gloomy perspective has not necessarily aged that well. The president of the England and Wales cricket board whilst being arrogant and not particularly likeable made some perceptive comments when he said that Wisden was saying test cricket is dying in 1910 and that no one ever made a documentary about sporting administrators which lauded them for doing a good job because it wouldn't sell. Old media and new media have not changed much in the sense that they still skew towards the negative.
Yup, especially when the negative light is on the Indians and not on themselves who have run this sport for generations with nothing to show for… no much money generated, no new formats, no leagues and no women participation. India and BCCi is doing all that and monetizing everything and these old dudes are just dumbfounded. How could these Indians who we used to colonize be so much better at running this? Aaaargh! 😅
36:02 nope, wrong again! it’s the greed of money and the looting by the East India company that brought India together. Atleast we give that credit to the colonial oligarchs of the GB. It really emphasized our age old adage that - unity, even with diversity, is strength, and India became a nation state. Rich saying that cricket united us., it was an elite sport that the lords who came here wanted to play and kill a lot of time while the average Indian worked for their colonial masters. I mean kimber should keep to cricket and stop preaching his saddled world view from his colonial eyes.
Test cricket is also played outside Ind, Eng and Aus my friend. It's dying, and it's at a much worse condition than when this documentary was shot. West Indies players have long deprioritised it. South Africa sent its third tier team to New Zealand because their marquee stars had to play SA20. New Zealand has not played a 4-5 test match series since decades, empty stands even within India outside of test matches in 5-6 venues.. The ostrich buries their head in the sand thinking they're safe from the desert storm.
@ It’s dying because its too long and boring (maybe not for you and me but for majority) why would you also complain why people have short attention span now and its also a generational thing. Why are we watching more reels and shorts now? It’s clearly the format itself and was destined to die out with time. You can jeep trying to promote it more and more but it won’t make you enough money or engage people that have shorter attention spans now and want more thrill from shorter time.
@@Reative8 that's a very superficial view, I'm afraid. There's enough jeopardy happening at various points during the day of play. Multiple moving pieces are involved. Pitch, conditions, the ball, batting order etc., and there are many games that run for longer periods of time within a single day, and yet people are invested by and large. At least there should've been some effort in spreading the game to associate nations. All in all, there's no reason why test cricket has been limited to 8-9 countries, with only 5-6 being good at it for longer periods of time. The ICC should've done their work in spreading the game. They've just existed as the club of 2-3 member nations looking after their own interests. That's the whole point of this documentary, and the fact that they showed us the crystal ball so many years ago, and everything's turning out just like that, is amazing and sad at the same time.
Jarrod you people are pure. But the fact of the matter is that when the "noble" profession of medicine revolves around money, then sports is nothing as compared to that. Materialism at its worst. If crowd likes sledging, the cricketers will do that, no matter if they like it or not. This is cricket Porn
They cant afford to get cricket into the Olympics because that would mean countries like the US, China, Germany, France investing to develop the game locally which will totally break the stranglehold these boards have over the game.
Cricket is not the second biggest, it's fudged numbers. Taking Pakistan vs India matches in the icc games as a barometer is just stupid and skews the numbers.
Fakes unlimited So many oldies retired players are participating in ipl Exhibition type contests The spectators in the stands don't mind getting fooled Because they come in for fun n entertainment not to watch authentic cricket 😂
Well, Warner became a cheat along with Smith to prove there were no Australian gentlemen left to have a death. This precipitated cricket Australia, in the name of transparency, to make their own documentary which mainly only managed to show their players and coach all throwing their toys out of the pram.
I think it’s due to caste system, Warner is from warrior caste and Cowan from the clown caste. These Indians and their caste system is to blame for cricket 🏏 downfall. Wait a minute, great idea 💡 for next Jarrod kimber hit piece. Can’t wait.
35:27 wrong. Not Mumbai, it’s definitely Bengaluru. The for hire auto is in Kannada. Atleast put up some right footage. Now I wonder if all Kimbers analysis is really worth a look or just some cherry picked garbage to generate views.
This whole video is mixture of politics racism and colonial mindset... nothing about test cricket... I don't knw what happens to u to to go against bcci chief...and corruption is in every where ..even medicine companies....thousands die bcoz of that....
Big money meets Indian ethical flexibility. What could go wrong?
Jarrod Kimber himself now is desperate to get some of that big Indian money. Ohhh, the irony..
Love this documentary. Watched it the year it came out (I want to say a decade ago?) and the repeat watch is just as good.

The most beautiful thing is that I'd no idea who Ed was before this. Such dramatic irony
This is the best documentary i saw on cricket i wish this was a series and how can people be dumb to say t20 is better than test like makes 0 sense
Jokers says T20 is best men's love test cricket bro
at the end of the day, t20 cricket helps cricket expand, test cricket is exclusive.
Because employed people don't have time to watch 5 days of cricket.
T20 brings in the money
Test match crowds in Australia have never ever been higher than what they are today.

Ironically, it is the same Kimber who desperately wants to get an IPL gig. One his channel he can be seen sucking up to Indian players and 'viewers'.
Jarrod kimber is the best cricket analyst in this generation
Absolutely, I think his analysis is better than most of the retired cricketers.
Further, he does not favour the countries as retired cricketers do.
Small grammar error. Use- “was”. And start the sentence with adjective… hypocrite, seems apt.
I never thought that i would be in tears after watching something as beatiful as this
Will ALWAYS love Test Cricket
Meanwhile Test cricket is breaking viewership records
Only when India is playing or it's the Ashes
Yup, before it was just the ashes and only retired old Anglo-Saxon hags used to watch them. 😂

Giles is such a worm.
More than a worm!
loved it!!!!!💓💓💓💓
wow -great doco ---where is our world heading
Cricket is a fantastic sport.Hopefully they will sort out these match fixing scandals for good
Haroon Lorgat was also very political in his role in South Africa. So not surprised he won't say too much of relevance.
Jarrod you people are pure.

This is cricket Porn
International T20 games are the most pointless fixtures
So all you see here is hate for india and indian cricket....It was Botham, ACB and ECB who first come of with idea of T20 cricket in year 2004.
Didn't know Giles Clarke was Indian lol
I wonder if these guys still feel the same now.
Cricket is a universal language for all men on this planet.
They cant afford to get cricket into the Olympics because that would mean countries like the US, China, Germany, France investing to develop the game locally which will totally break the stranglehold these boards have over the game.
Sure, that’s why it’s gonna be played in 2028 Olympics. How about getting abreast about current events before posting here?
@@gavigod001 You are absolutely right. Sorry for that. Glad to know I was wrong.

good film
Cricket snd bollywood together😢
Cricket is finished..BGT is a farce..we are not interested in seeing glamour girls and movie stars
Fakes unlimited

OK, IT'S NOW 2024....WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE??

Kimber the King 👑
Complete the sentence…. King of hypocrisy!
I aways thought Ed Cowan was good enough but they wanted Warner due to the culture.
I think it’s due to caste system, Warner is from warrior caste and Cowan from the clown caste.
These Indians and their caste system is to blame for cricket 🏏 downfall.
Wait a minute, great idea 💡 for next Jarrod kimber hit piece. Can’t wait.

Kimber sucks up to the BCCI everyday now.
All thanks to India cricket sucks now😢
only the idiots who ran and still run bcci.
Agreed they are undoubtedly the ROTTTTTTTTTT but things will change
@@axelbooysen1088Kerry packer god father of modern cricket IPL sucks
Yup.. sucks for opposition teams, sometimes they lose the match, most times they lose all the big bucks to Indian players.
Its all about concentration of money to very few individuals which kills the sport.
Yup… future prophecy… aren’t we all nastrodamus?
And why? Because India is dominating the money flow in the sport?
This whole video is mixture of politics racism and colonial mindset... nothing about test cricket... I don't knw what happens to u to to go against bcci chief...and corruption is in every where ..even medicine companies....thousands die bcoz of that....
The Corruption really got off the ground with the IPL.
Salty guys 😂😂😂
