For many years and long before our 21 triumph. I thought to myself, surely out there in the world there survives some footage of 64 that isn't a newsreel.
Then I came to accept that we would never see any play by play footage ever again and gave up on it, that it was lost to time and gone forever.
This is one of the most significant finds in the history of the club, even just lost media in general. I know it took a lot of back and forth to get it released but thank you rbartlett in your part for finding and preserving this for everyone to see

Good find, will give it a proper look later. Love how out on the full was a boundary throw in and there's also no deliberate/insufficient attempt. I know Goodwin would love the idea of being able to just constantly kick it out and grind a win.

How is the umpiring better six years ago with a single umpire?

The rules were a lot simpler .

No doubt. I'm on board with this conspiracy theory that vague rules and umpiring controversy drives social media engagement.
