I only put in on by accident. I found it fascinating. It also gave a real perspective of what it's like to come out to bat at the MCG and an insight into the sledging that goes on.

It's a bizarre game is cricket where you can sledge the opposition for hours but then go and have a few pints in the bar with them and laugh about it or go and sit in the opposition changing room afterwards.

Unfortunately the trend with local cricket has gone the way of jump in the car and write stuff on social media about the opposition.

The Edge is an excellent watch for anyone remotely interested in cricket, but the Australian documentary "The Test" following the Aussie team round for about 18 months prior to and during last summer's WC and ashes is absolutely riveting, probably even for people who aren't that interested in the game. It's a real warts and all insight.

Was a great watch. The strength of Jonathan Trott in particular got me. If there was anyone that just needed a beer match on a Sunday afternoon it was him. The pressure at that level is immense.
