Cricket in the '70's: Chappell Era (1)

Cricket In The '70s - The Chappell Era: The 1970's turned out to be the most tumultuous period in the history of Test Cricket. It was a period of great controversy, but it was also a period of great cricket and great players! Names such as CHAPPELL, WALTERS, MARSH, LILLEE, THOMSON, SOBERS, LLOYD, RICHARDS, GREIG, SNOW, UNDERWOOD and WILLIS reflect on the cricket, the characters and the controversies that shaped the destiny of this unique game that is a national pastime. Those old enough to remember will never forget the infamous Snow/Jenner incident, Greg Chappell's century on debut, Gary Sobers' classic 254, the pace and fire of Lillee and 'Thommo' as well as Doug Walters hitting a six off the last ball of a day’s play to bring up his century! Cricket in the 70's - The Chappell Era is a rollicking jaunt down memory lane for those that want to remember and for those that want to learn more about a remarkable period that ultimately changed the way the game of cricket was played in the future.
