The Screen Guide

In the 1950s, Australian cricket went through many trials and tribulations. There were issues of captaincy, losses in three consecutive ‘Ashes’ series, allegations of ‘doctored’ pitches, controversy over illegal bowling actions and the advent of television coverage. The 1950s was the decade when Australian cricket ventured beyond its traditional boundaries for the first time, making visits to the West Indies (1955), then India and Pakistan (1956 and 1959/60). By the end of the decade, Australia had played official matches in every corner of the cricket world.
