Have split this to 2 stars for the highlights DVD and 4 star for the additional DVDs.
Highlights DVDs are literally that, I was hopeful it may have been like the excellent 2005 & 2009 Ashes DVDs with a build up to the tests and information of goings on between the matches (newspaper back pages etc.). They are just a collection of what is probably Channel Nines daily highlight summary pieced together.
The extras DVDs are a lot better than what I thought they would be, aside from the normal behind the scenes which are always interesting but nothing special there is a excellent documentary on the series with both captains involved in it. Always good with a bit of barmy army in it also

I just wanted to reply to the review that gave this 3 stars, and advised people that:
'contains no more cricket than the 3 disc Official Highlights. What you get instead are some extras, principally a 90 minute behind-the-scenes documentary, The Inside Story. This maybe worth the extra for the dedicated collector, but for most of us I doubt it very much.'
Now i am not sure if this reviewer likes his sport but i love my sport, and for 13 years have been watching and loving the behind the scenes documentaries of the British & Irish Lions rugby tours, which can make your hairs stand on end and make grown men weep. This is what you as a fan DO want to see; how the players really are, what really went on, how do they get through adversity, injury and success and all the other emotions that will inevitably happen on a 2 month sports tour. Last year the Ryder Cup had a behind the scenes and now cricket, at last, has something that we can see that is beyond the usual highlights package.
For the other reviewer to say that for most of us (is he meaning cricket/sports fans as i hope not!), the Box Set is not worth it is ridiculous (although we can all have an opinion). You can judge for yourself when it comes out, but i know for a fact all at my cricket club and the other fans i know will be buying this boxset, because they love cricket and they love sport, and sport is much more than just the highlights, it's what goes on in between the action that matters too.
I reckon this will be the ultimate package for the ultimate Test Series - 7 discs for £35 is cracking value, and to relive the series with the Doc included is the icing on the cake - I CANT WAIT!!! There are 5 discs for the highlights and 2 discs for the behind the scenes.

Excellent DVD's that brought back some great cricket moments, commentators were very good and the film coverage was also very professional.

Not as good as ashes in England commentators are biased and the Austalian accent grates to English ears. Also the television production is not as good as Sky. Read more
