This is a great documentation of events. I don't really follow cricket, but I've watched some games and used to play it. I actually found this video while search for more information about Alan Kippax, because he's my great, great, great uncle.
Oh wow! I’m actually 2/3s of the way through writing a biography about Alan Kippax. I understand he didn’t have any children so I didn’t know if he still had any extended relatives. I could send you some of the draft if you are interested as I’ve done plenty of research which may help you. Alan was a fascinating man, it would be an honour to be related to him.
@@theknightwatchman I was told that his nephew, H.G. Kippax, is one of my grandfathers. But I’m afraid I don’t have much from him except two volumes about Don Bradman, so sorry for not being able to help. And I would love to see that draft, thank you.
So you’re a descendant of Alan’s older brother Arthur. The Kippax’s were very involved in forerunner to Sydney City Council. Kippax St, Surry Hills and Kippax Lake, Moore Park are named after your family members. My email is theknightwatchmanhq@gmail.com I’ve done fairly extensive family history research and Alan’s biographical details up to 1934. I’m away from home for a few days but I can email you a copy when I get back if that’s OK?
Awesome. Email me at that address and I can send you some pics and the draft when I get home. I’ve got pics of where your family lived and Alan was born in Paddington, the street where he grew up in Bondi Junction and his house in Bellevue Hill where he passed away.
Thanks Z Cricket 🙏 The mystery for me is at 2:05 where the ball ends up is in front of the stumps. So either the ball hit the stump hard and rebounded or it rebounded off Duckworth’s pads, clipped the leg stump and kept rolling. A mystery indeed.
Thank you for this video and for the time in putting this together. Despite this incident relations between both teams was very good according to reports. If I had a time machine I would go back to this series. I'm fascinated by it. The players then had such elegance and style in attire alone. The 1920s seemed to be a wonderful time until the Crash. The stadiums looked fantastic. England had a great team - Hobbs, Sutcliffe, Hammond, Jardine, Larwood and Tate. Jardine apparently left the 5th test to tour India before it was finished. Captain Chapman was a drinker who lived life but unfortunately died an alcoholic. Hammond the womanizer was at times preoccupied with the Women's section when not scoring his record number of runs. And Bradman made his debut.
@@theknightwatchman Yes. I recently purchased a signed itinery of this tour - signed by the England team (Jardine forgave autographs apparently on the 1932-33 tour so not much memorabilia exists). I also purchased MA Noble's and Percy Fender's books about this 1928/29 tour.
@@randyborstol2491 Great items to have. It was an interesting series for Australia…saw the end of Jack Gregory due to injury and captain Jack Ryder but also the debut of Archie Jackson and Don Bradman. A changing of the guard.
This may be the worlds first ever umpiring controversy captured with modern technology for future generations. As it was it made no difference to the result, Australia copped their biggest thrashing of all time in that series. Its not unheard of for a bail to fall off for no apparent reason, perhaps a gust of wind or not sitting straight in the stump groove or even being a millimetre or two off spec. We will never know. This was the match that Bradman was dropped, if he had played and he was the batsman given out I expect the controversy to be much larger, perhaps even 99.94 times larger.
Thanks. I think it just goes to show the wisdom of not having home umpires that an Australian can get bowled, and the Australian umpire can't find it in himself to give him out.
8 ball overs were in use in Australia at the time but the MCC requested the tour conditions be changed to allow 6 ball overs in this series and also for the Bodyline series 4 years later, after that they reverted back to 8 ball overs@@theknightwatchman
You are right, not much footage from 1928/29, so I spliced some footage of Geary bowing in the 1930 Ashes to rare vision of Kippax batting on the tour of US/Canada in 1932. The attempted glance from Kippax seems to be similar to the description of his shot in the 28/29 ‘incident’ ☺️
@@theknightwatchman yes... There is definitely a similarity to what you were narrating😅.... Kippax was a stylish batsmen.. Even Archie Jackson, considered by many to be better than Bradman idolised Kippax.
@@Arjun-ej7fj Kippax was a significant mentor for Jackson, he even gave him a job in his sports store. As a child Kippax watched Trumper and emulated him, the Jackson was influenced by Kippax...so there’s definitely a piece of the mastery of Trumper in Jackson.

@@theknightwatchman Dang you know more than me. Thanks again. I might ask my dad if he knows anything after the 1930’s.

Wow wonderfully produced video feels like just traveled back in time. By the way i think he was not out

As a Pom, loving your work.
Thanks very much, Michael 🙏🇦🇺🇬🇧

It was an amazing situation where 30,000 people were there and it appears no-one was definitively able to say what actually occurred.
Thanks. I think it just goes to show the wisdom of not having home umpires that an Australian can get bowled, and the Australian umpire can't find it in himself to give him out.
DRS would certainly have been handy that day 😁
Werent they 8 ball overs back then ?
The 1928/29 and 1932/33 Ashes in Australia had 6-ball overs.
8 ball overs were in use in Australia at the time but the MCC requested the tour conditions be changed to allow 6 ball overs in this series and also for the Bodyline series 4 years later, after that they reverted back to 8 ball overs@@theknightwatchman
Is that the real footage!.. Sorry for asking... Getting a footage of 1928 is so so rare.. That's why i asked

@@Arjun-ej7fj Recently I went to Sydney and filmed Kippax and Jackson’s old homes and local grounds, so I hope to get those videos out pretty soon.
Bloody cheating sandpaper boy. He was out 😁
