As an English cricket supporter, starved of any form of success in one day or T20 world cups, the subject matter of this DVD couldn't be better.
It consists of two DVDs, one giving the England vs Australia final in full, the other giving highlights from the rest of the tournament(including the final). The disk of the final does exactly what it says on the tin. The highlights DVD is OK, but is extremely brief in what it shows of the initial group stages, concentrating on the Super 8s and semi-finals. Games in the group stages are given less coverage than they would get on the 6 o'clock news. The extras, showing centuries, top wickets, best catches, best boundaries etc are quite fun.
One other small gripe is that the use of music is irritating. The music behind the titles is instrusive, and unnecessary and annoying behind the extras.
But all in all the package is recommended. If you are an England cricket supporter, why wouldn't you buy it?

By Luke's dad
Whilst I enjoyed watching the DVDs, especially the full coverage of the final, I found it slightly fustrating that the early stages were brushed over without much comment. By not expanding on the group stages, it didn't come across how close England came to being knocked out by a combination of bad weather (West Indies) and poor batting (Ireland).
I then expected the section dedicted to the Super 8 stage to be more comprehensive along with the semi-finals, but there seemed to be a rush to get to the final (even the commentary sounded hurried).
The product was obviously targeted at an English audience, but even so a more balanced review of the overall event would have been appreciated.

This DVD is in two parts, a summary of the tournament on one DVD, and the full final on the other DVD. The full final coverage is good, it is essentially the entire program shown on the TV when the game was on. The summary DVD is a bit disappointing as it tries to cover too much in too little time, so some of the great innings and games from the tournament are not really featured. There is slightly more indepth coverage of the semis, maybe 1/2 hour per game, but you are left with the feeling you would like to have seen a little more of the games. Still good, and the final is really enjoyable, but its not the best cricket DVD I've seen.

A good watch!
I got this for my cricket-mad son who's just finished primary school as a treat. He watched it all and then went back to the Ashes 2005 and 2009 dvds. Read more
