- Courtesy of the British Council, Lord's TV brings you a short documentary film made in 1950 of the 1948 Test match at Lord's between England and Australia during that Ashes series.
Narrated by Sir Ralph Richardson and BBC Test Match Special great John Arlott, the film gives a fascinating insight into Lord's from a bygone era as it weaves between the Test match - which included greats such as Don Bradman, Ray Lindwall, Len Hutton and Denis Compton - and a general cricketing education.

I was 11 when I listened to the commentary on this test match and now I am going on to 83 in a couple of months. This was one of the greatest test matches that ever took place and now I've
had a chance to see it
83 yr old. surfing RUclips 🤔
Old guys are good
Wow, it’s amazing to hear from someone who followed this game live! You must have seen a humongous number of changes in your lifetime Sir!
nice joke
@@khalidmahmood858 You're the only 'joke' here right now.
Did I just see players fighting with each other and umpires for the stumps after victory?? Wow! unbelievable and hilarious!
six stumps 11 players. At least there are four bails to scrounge so only one misses out
lol yes, I hope they didn't deny the Don a stump in his final Lords game
Exactly! I thought standards of behaviour had got worse since then but maybe not...
It was common at dat time...even in 80s n 70s crowd ran into the main field. N players ran away from them in the middle of the match..no security at dat time...

Cricket is the greatest the best the most respectful sport of all time
It is neither the greatest (that honor should surely go to football or soccer as they call it in USA) nor the most respected game today, what with so many betting scandals plaguing this game.
Sridhar Kaushik bro if you are Indian don’t praise any other sport barring cricket
@@2sridhark ; agree with you.. that is why English dont care much about cricket, even though they invented it

Cricket is not even a sport now...
It's a Religion
And my my gods are.

What a lovely nostalgic piece
Can't agree with you more..
Amazed to see video from 1948..wow.. imagine how many from the spectators/players could be alive now???? maybe only 1% or may b all died??? and someday in future we would also be just part of history
yeah thats the reality someday all of this will end
This is the quote of the whole humanity
Doubtful if any of them would be alive today, except perhaps the kids, who would be octogenarians today!
If the queen was watching the match she is alive and at that time she was 22.
@@Contemporarywise she will never die
Cricket's the best thing to have happened to civilization. Its varieties and chess-like complexities make it so beautiful to watch yet in the last 80 or some years only a handful of new countries have taken to this game.
The greatest sport ever. Period.
DaSnarky Remarky
Its a great sport, but it gets ruined by the icc.
You can blame the admin for that. Greatest sport with the worst admin
Its not as complicated as chess at all.
Watching Ben Stoke's miracle at Headingley (25/08/19), I wanted to delve into a bit more on history of this beautiful game. Long live test cricket.
po man Good! A rich history to delve into, too. Always growing. Get playing and go to matches!
Well said George. Get involved Po man, I didn't catch the bug till I was in my mid 40's I'm 63 now and 3rd highest wicket taker at my club this year! @@georgemorley1029
16:32 wtf! Came here to see cricket in its "gentleman's game" days and really enjoyed the documentary. Then i also saw gentlemen fighting for wickets with each other and the poor umpire 😃😃😃
They were running to the assistance of a stricken bee.
It’s the ashes. The stumps are prized trophies.
The late great Fred Trueman's definition of a gentleman was a bloke who gets out of the bath to have a piss
Great footage and commentary from a legendary actor and player. By the way, a lot of people are wondering why there’s an ungentlemanly act at the end with the scuffle for the wickets. This is important to understand in the context of the relationship between England (possessed of a superiority complex) and Australia (eternal underdogs and upstarts). The wickets are fiercely contested and prized trophies for the winning side and the losing side don’t want to let them waltz off with them. It’s like depriving them of the satisfaction of walking off with the colours of battle after a victory in war. Especially when you consider that the Ashes themselves are the burnt remains of the bails from the very first time that England got revenge in Australia for their first test defeat on British soil. The raw memory of being beaten at your own game gives the whole Ashes series a feeling of drama and tension like no other. Winning it for Australia represents getting one over on the English, whereas winning them for England feels like defending the nation’s sporting honour. That’s why the English Batsmen and the Australian players are having a wrestle for them. It’s basically a matter of trying to spoil the Australian moment of triumph by not letting them get away with another “bounders” act.
It was actually after Australia first won on English soil that the term The Ashes was coined by the English press.
Good old times.. Wish I could live in that era
Watched Don batting for the first time!! :)

I was at Lord's last year. Was lucky enough to step into the old Pavilion Long Room. You could feel every bit of the history when you stand in there.
1948, the year I was born into the world of cricket.
Peter Clatworthy u must b ancient
Are you dead now????
Are u dead
Hi peter. Are you alive?
Guys he is 71 young
I cannot properly express or even comprehend my love for this 🏏 ❤️
Thanks England thanks for giving us Cricket
Look at the spectators. So gentlemenly attired and behaved. Todays spectators are rightly called crowd.
That’s because back then u would be pretty wealthy to attend a cricket game, now as u know not so much
Because it makes the game more entertaining and enjoyable to be at. people just being "well behaved" makes it seem boring especially for a test match
😂😂😂👍
What do you want the todays "crowd" to wear? Suits and boots? And arrive in a 1920s car or on a horse?
Snob
We Indians adopted cricket as religion,my country people love cricket and it make us united !!!
Stupidity... cricket is no religion in India. I like watching cricket but if given a chance i would rather play football. So stop speaking for everyone else
Max Trinosomois ain’t u doing it same 😂
@@renytom9260 lol Indians forget what's their religion. Ikmkb.
@@harshitsrivastava5670 cricket is religion in India
If you don't like to play , don't
For other it is
Watching footage of a vintage cricket match alongside the supreme posh English accent..now that's something to cherish
so beautiful lord cricket ground
How cool and calm those days were !! No tensions, Great peace of mind...
Err, 3 years before WW2 had just finished.
What a sheer delight to listen to the clipped tones of Sir Ralph and the Basingstoke burr of a young John Arlott. Thank you so much for resurrecting this.
Marvellous stuff. Cricket is such a noble sport.
Cricket is the greatest the best the most respectful sport of all time
The greatest sport ever.
Great video.
But I am amazed at how close Godfrey Evans is to the stumps with Alec Bedser bowling. Wasnt Bedser fast or medium fast?
It’s crazy to think that most people in this film have already passed away, even though they look so young. What a different era...
It’s so amazing how cricket changed over the years...
Proud to be a cricket lover and follower.
Watching cricket in lord's ground give me immense pleasure
Old is gold. Wish i would play cricket in this historical ground.
Man it somehow feel like this match happened just yesterday, classic yet modern!
May there souls rest in peace🙏🙏🙏
6:48 .... what a brilliant transition!
_"Lindwall bowls to Hutton as Bradman looks on."_
Jeez, that's the A-Team right there!
Lone Star You certainly needed to be able to play to get mentioned in that sentence
This is amazing. Thank you!
That bowling practise was Damnly great
The turn for the spin demonstration, especially the leg spin was as good as the Warne delivery to Gatting.
Wonderful insight into cricket history and also the England of 1948. Interesting to see its’s a pretty diverse crowd.
It is looking like a magical story
Great collection. Love to watch.
Every cricket lover must watch this video !!! We have this recording from 1948 and unfortunately we don't have any recording of 1983 world cup match between India Vs Zimbabwe in which Indian legend all-rounder Kapil Dev scored a magnificent 175 when India was reeling under 17/5 with the wicket keeper Kiran More. Its a pity that the modern cricket missed this great match because BBC was on strike on that very day :-(
Wicket keeper was not kiran more it’s syed kirmani
Wonderful film, just shows how great the game of cricket is and will forever be.
Sir Donald Bradman is hands down the greatest cricket player of all time 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🐐🐐🐐🏏🏏🏏
4.29 Bill Bowes in the press box. The great Yorkshire fast bowler of the 1930s who became a cricket writer after the war.
He was the slightly forgotten man on the bodyline series in 32-33.
Beautiful.. Cricket is a beautiful game, I started playing when I was 5 years old and stopped playing at 23 😔, always dreamt of playing for India
, but had no money to support, could not afford to buy a cricket kit, so sad😒
This was wonderful. The atmosphere inside Lords was very different the moment England won the World Cup!
old is gold....
Sir donald george bradman the greatest cricketer of all time
that there was such a time .... the supreme gift of empire....
Love the english keeper standing up to the "medium/fast" opening bowlers.
Godfrey Evans. Kent and England legend.
Test is the best cricket
I love cricket forever
great history in this lovely game!
6:21 He bowled better than Rashid Khan
Dhrubo Hridraz the bests are Shane warne suqlain mushtaq abdul qadir
@@ustaddigital5469 saqlain mustaq was an off spinner and yes shane warne and abdul qadir were the greatest. I just made a fun out of Rashid
@@youseemunsettled believe me Saqlain was better than all see statistics
Pitches were unprepared those days. That spin must be normal back then
Loved the way they fort over the stumps at the end!
I fell like, I was in lords that time. Thanks, British councill.
Love this old stuff.
I am really excited to see 1948 match and I love it. Cricket is the greatest game in the world and it will always be the greatest game in
Cricket lovers heart.
WOW very impressive croud
England is a winner of world cup 19
New Zealand won
What a classic golden era of cricket ❤
Amazing to see those guys 'driving' the scoreboard with a steering wheel!
When a wicket falls they pounce into action within half a second to run downstairs to change the number. What a job to have, I wonder how much they got paid or if they even had lunch provided for them.
1st old video I have seen due to attraction of title and beauty of lords and cricket as well
What a great time 1948.
Thank you for this video , alot of love from India 🇮🇳
Now digital scoreboards are available...earlier days for scoreboard workmen have to do lot of work for runs and wicket changing on display boards 😁🤩🤩👍🤩👌👌🏻👌🏻👌
All audience behaved like gentlemen. It shows that the countries with decent behaviour readily flourish.
Classic!
thats the beauty🌠 of TEST CRICKET 🧢
Lovely video
Cricket has its own class
What a shame! What Cricket has become now from the glory days...
You overrate previous cricket. Today's cricket didn't lose its glory. Cricket standard is now higher than then cricket. Cricketer stance is weirder than today's cricketers stance.

protocols of zion. ..
so pure this all :)
what if they could use time machine and see the t20 match with cheer leaders dancing in the future?
Then they'll regret it for sure.
@zenmilind yes sure and we will see test cricket will be ruined ,T5 cricket will be the main format, no class of batsman , highest bowling speed will be 135 kph Ethiopia will be able to defeat every team , the art of cricket technique will be placed in the grave.
क्या पुराने दिन थे यार देख कर मन को सुकून मिल रहा है👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
How is watching 2019 world cup England🇬🇧 vs India🇮🇳👍 after
Stop lying...the match is tomorrow...how did u see it 2 days earlier 😤😠u cheat
english seekh le phle
@@ovrdozzzz there is something called editing comments
Yes watch the fixed match ... I wish there was no corruption in cricket
not india anymore lol...
They didn't have anything to say about Ranjit sinh ji. Glad that atleast they mentioned him.
We r lucky to watch this video. . .
Classic video.
Thank you.
A wonderful little trip down memory lane.
Great to see some footage of the "Invincibles" in full swing as they defeat the evil Mother Country. :)
I am a Scottich cricket fan. England is famous for cricket worldwide. Lords is famous worldwide.
I would like Scotland to have a great international side too. The English and Welsh could go back to allowing a Scottish team to compete in the county championship at all levels, not just one format. Even if they finish bottom every season, it would help the Scottish international side develop. And would do no damage to English or Welsh cricket.
Old is Gold
A lovely little film and I agree sauron, only Lindwall looks like a true fasty.
0:50 love those messages from those days. How the times have flied.
That slow-mo part of the video starting at 6:12 blew my mind. How did the cameras of 1948 could have captured such high quality slow-mo video? :O
I'm late to reply, but you need to understand that this was filmed using celluloid film. The quality of film is much superior to digital cameras and tape. Slow motion is basically using a higher rpm of turns of the reel to capture more frames. Does that make sense?
That was lovely, thank you.
brilliant!
This match, and even the series, was probably overshadowed by Bradman being bowled for a duck at the Oval, in his final match. That's what everyone remembers...
Love the knitting going on at 3:34 !
Yes, those were different days, where dutiful wives would accompany their husbands to cricket and then read and knit quietly. Nowadays they go shopping, or for a facial with their best friend lol
Ashes is the best tournament of his test cricket history the legend Sir Don Bradman batting isn't see one of the most England Australia test match at Lords in1948
Long live Test Cricket!!!!
Most wickets shane warne-195
Most run don bradman-5028
And now, at Lord's, they play Guns 'n' Roses between overs.
I think the only one of the players who were playing this match survived long enough was don bradman
Ashes ⚱️ is game of emotions between England and Australia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘 still kept Test Cricket alive ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Look the crowd man 🤩😵
I can't express my feelings. 😎
Who came here in 2019
