Lunch on day two. Australia are 130-1 in reply to England's 334 all out. England have offered very little with the ball and have been severely treated by the Australian batters.

In the words of CLR James, this film goes “beyond a boundary” to explain how the West Indies cricket team became the dominant force in world cricket in the 1970s & 1980s. Their dominance was so complete, it’s possible to argue that they were the greatest sporting team of the twentieth century.
The West Indies fast bowlers were skilful and brutal - it was remarkable that no one was killed - and in Viv Richards the team possessed a sporting genius.
