Customer Reviews

BEWARE!!! Totally agree with the other reviewer.
I feel cheated and tricked by this DVD. What an absolute waste of my money.

The utter contempt for the viewer that is shown by the makers of this DVD is beyond belief. I will make sure that NO person I know buys any product that is associated to the production company that produced this DVD.

No where on the packaging or in the description does it state that all footage is taken prior to 2002. Steve Waugh's career hadn't even finished and Shane Warne was still at his peak!

Had I known this fact I would never have bought it.

I personally found the product description misleading with the words "panel" and "featuring" to be the chief villains.

DO NOT BUY THIS DVD.

Years out of date and cheaply made
This is a waste of money. Only seven players are featured; no Ian Chappell, Richie Benaud, Mark Taylor, Thommo, McGrath. It's about seven years old and is made using short (and cheap) clips and stills with some famous faces thrown in to provide us with voxpops. Usually seen on Sky during lunch breaks of test matches. Rubbish.
