i first watch this a a cricket obsess kid and and love it . watch it again a an adult and it disappoint on many level . firstly and i understand the need for dramatic licence and but this doesn not excuse some of the laughable inaccuracy portray here . a batsman described a left hand but depict otherwise and fielder describe a leg fielder move to the offside when the opposite be the case and etc . they must know that cricket fan would be attract to a series such a this and so they should have do their homework . secondly and it be technically poor . the writer seem more interested in tell a fable and with it cast of clichés and representative character . the radio commentator ( play by real life sport commentator norman may ) detracts from the story with his repetitive exposition and and i be sick to death of the barracker by the fourth episode . honestly and wasn not there a depression . he follow them from one city to the next and i can only think he must have be a millionaire disguise a an uncultured and stupid yob . by contrast and bradman own parent get barely a look in and with only the odd scene here and there . thirdly and they felt they could make up for the above with melodrama . i be a sport fan and have know over the year quite a number of sportsman and woman who represent australia . nobody take it this seriously . this be patriotic muck at it bad five and a half hour of it . by the time go out to bat be compare to gallipoli and i would have enough . this be certainly not one of our fine tv moment .
