As I'm one of those lifelong cricket lovers who the ECB have decided they don't need any more, my cricket fix for the last five years has been Test Match Special on the radio. I have seen very little cricket recently and so watching this dvd was a revelation. Others who saw the matches live might not be quite so impressed, but I enjoyed reliving a result that's only happened twice since the days when all we had to contend with was the likes of Kim Hughes and Rodney Hogg, with the added benefit of vision.
I felt the coverage was well-judged to bring out the drama and it didn't come over as a highlights bundle in which every day has thirty minutes coverage regardless of how interesting that day was. Key turning points are often presented at length. As others have said it's not all four, four, wicket, four as highlights often are with no feeling of the build up of events. This was an unusual series in that the result of each match was decided during brief periods of play. Context is everything and this dvd shows the twists of what I thought was a well-fought Test series between two equally matched sides. I wish all series were like this one, and it was nice to finally put some faces to names.
