Product Description

It has often been said that you can best judge the quality of a sporting team by the talents of the players left out, and never has this been better illustrated than with ESPN's Legends of Cricket. There has been a vast array of excellent cricketers throughout history, which is of course no more evident than in the modern game. However, this fascinating series aims to pick out the very best of the bunch. A distinguished panel of 15 extremely highly regarded cricketing authorities, including Wasim Akram, Ian Botham, Allan Border and Dickie Bird, will aim to pick out histories very best. Featuring superb, action packed archive footage and in-depth interviews with the selected players, Legends of Cricket is a must have for all cricket enthusiasts. Cricketers featured; Len Hutton, WG Grace, Ian Botham, Wally Hammond, Sir Jacob Hobbs, Alan Border, Steve Waugh, Keith Miller, Dennis Lillee, Sir Donald Bradman, Shane Warne, Frank Worrell, George Headley, Malcolm Marshall, Sir Vivian Richards, Sir Garfield Sobers, Barry Richards, Graeme Pollock, Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Sachin Tendulkar, Wasim Akram and Imran Khan.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bradman Game 7 Feb 2009
Format:DVD
I won't engage in prevarication/circumlocution. This is an excellent package; it does exactly what it says on the tin. I feel it's an essential for anyone interested in this fantastic sport.
Its greatest strength lies in the fact of its giving one a broadly-based view of the sport's finest practitioners, irrespective of the narrow confines of country, etc. To be sure, it focuses on the nations that have given cricket its finest hours but, once you have enjoyed the entire package, you realise that this sport transcends all petty national boundary lines. You become a fan of all the greats, whether Bradman and Miller or Hobbs and Hutton or Sobers, Lara, etc!
I recommend it highly.

Colm McElroy, Dublin, Ireland.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ok overview but more interview than cricket! 11 July 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Does what the title says in that's it a collection from a ESPN TV series. The shows themselves are mostly interviews with some footage of the player. We found it not very exicting.

Very factual and has nice footage. I recommend to anyone who wants to see true great players doing what they do best. None of this "It's another DLF IPL maximum!" nonsense.

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was a gift for my Dad - and he just loves it. He has been a lifelong cricket fan and remembers the 'legends' and has many stories to tell!

Having not seen it myself I can only pass on that this has given great enjoyment to a true cricket fan!

5.0 out of 5 stars Is it cricket? 18 Mar 2011
Format:DVD
An excellent purchase I made here! I wanted a DVD with cricket in it, and this certainly fills that criteria; it is all about cricket. Cricket is a game, not of two halves, but of many sides - well, two sides in reality, playing that game we call cricket. Cricket is similar to rugby; but with differences not always obvious in this video. It's very entertaining. I bought it to watch it, and I watched it, and it was good. But is it cricket?
