In this episode of At the ‘G – the first of a two-part special on the Centenary Test match played between Australia and England at the MCG in March, 1977 – host Anthony Hudson looks back at what is universally regarded as one of the greatest cricketing occasions, and matches, ever.
Hudson hears from courageous opening batter Rick McCosker, Kerry O’Keeffe and the record-breaking Rodney Marsh while reflecting on the extraordinary hitting of debutant David Hookes against arch enemy Tony Greig, the eccentric Englishman Derek Randall who refused to be intimidated by the Aussies, and legendary Australian fast bowler Dennis Lillee who had the crowd at fever pitch.
