Has there ever been any fillums or tv drama about cricket that has been good. Even any songs that we listenable. This seems to be a big gap in the culture of the best game there is.

Now if you look at baseball it has both films and songs but I can't think of any about cricket.

That one about the Packer affair that was on last year was ok. Apart from Cricket Lovely Cricket, can't think of any songs.

fire in babylon is a canny watch.

edit: i've also seen a bollywood film about an indian fella who wants to represent england called patiala house and found a horror/spoof[?] film recently called i know how many runs you scored last summer in a charity shop, not watched it yet.

by the way ^^ yes really these are both true :lol::lol:
 
There was that thing made by Aussie TV, Bodyline. It's incredibly biased towards the Aussies, of course, and paints Douglas Jardine as the Antichrist, but I really enjoyed it.

And as for cricket songs, a band called The Divine Comedy have released an entire album of cricket songs, it's called The Duckworth Lewis Method and is canny good. There's also a song by Roy Harper called 'When an old cricketer leaves the crease', which is a real tearjerker.

Hmm, none of these seem to be of the same quality as the baseball ones.
Films: Lou Gherig(sp) Story (with James Stewart), The Natural, Bull Durham, Major League, Trouble with the Curve
Songs: Boys of Summer, Take me out to the ball game, Glory Days

I'm sure there'll me more if I think about it. You'd think the cricket is as much part of English culture as baseball is the US culture but we don't do films and much with it.

Even football, I thought the Brian Clough films was excellent and I can't think of another good football films but I can't think of a cricket film I've watched never mind enjoyed.
