England & Australia 1948 | The Lord's Ashes Test | Classic Cricket Films

Courtesy of the British Council, Lord's TV brings you a short documentary film made in 1950 of the 1948 Test match at Lord's between England and Australia during that Ashes series.

Narrated by Sir Ralph Richardson and BBC Test Match Special great John Arlott, the film gives a fascinating insight into Lord's from a bygone era as it weaves between the Test match - which included greats such as Don Bradman, Ray Lindwall, Len Hutton and Denis Compton - and a general cricketing education.

The British Council Film Collection is an archive of over 120 short documentary films made by the British Council during the 1940s designed to show the world how Britain lived, worked and played. For more information visit: http://film.britishcouncil.org..../british-council-fil
