Hahaha, imagine this being released to the general public of today?! There'd be an uproar saying it's racist blah blah etc etc. All the 12th man series stuff is hugely funny and pokes fun at all walks of life especially Australians. I love it
Only had it on a trashed cassette till I found the vinyl over summer. Couldn’t get it to the cashier quick enough! It’s the first 12th Man release but has no mention of that name on the cover art. 😀
vanmaljers I like how on the cassette version when it gets to the "firm grip on this game indeed" part, instead of going to a commercial it says "it's a cassette ya wanker, tell him to get on with it."
I loved playing Cricket (can’t play anymore due to Disability), but only a very occasional Spectator. Love the Highlights though. Used to play with a proper Cricket Ball in the Driveway, stupidly with no Cup, I was ‘coppedoneindanuts’ a few times. 😂
"It's a compact disc, you wanker. Tell him to get on with it!"I do not know why that catchphrase was ever used, on the original CD version as a bonus track on the he Wired World of Sports CD.
Came here after dankpods,he mentioned it being cricket satire,and i believe this is a spoken word album,but targeted to adults only and in the 70s there were comedy,political,and erotica spoken word albums.
I hate cricket, in fact I am allergic to it, but this is brillant, if anyone had told me I would be listening to cricket, I don’t think I would have believed it....
@@daveholmes2725 My man the lefties have killed it. Gone are the days when you have a good laugh at each other rip the piss and still get on with life. I'm a black guy in the UK and grew up in the 70s taking the piss between my black and white mates. My two BEST mates are white 41years this year . And we still rip each other on each others stereo types like we were still 9years old. So in my eyes people should get over themselves...just saying ..It's bloody COMEDY!!!!😎
Hahaha.... shit yeah... They were the days... windows and doors open in parked cars and houses - bikes laid out on the front of the milk-bars and greasy hamburger shops - Complete strangers just all of a sudden saying HELLO how you doin' - Shitty Bands comin' out like Bay City Rollers. Dam.... I am just so privileged to have lived in those days compared to how shitty it is today in Australia. left my thongs outside overnight, and they were gone the next morning... Got hungry so took off in the car to go to the Gourmet Hamburger Restaurant and beeped at this dude cause he done 2 illegal and dangerous things right in front of me, and guess what? I... got the middle finger haha... got to the Gourmet Hamburger Restaurant and ordered the best hamburger they had - Big lump of dry meat patty with barely anything else, could hardly swallow it - went to go to the shithouse and got stopped by the owner rudely yelling at me saying you can't use our toilet its staff only. left half the crappy hamburger that tasted like cardboard to look for the shithouse and almost got an infection walking into the public toilet - made me ill... On the way back to my car heard some people swearing and arguing in front of these old people... least half of it I couldn't understand. Got to the car and found someone my car and did a hit and run stopped at the lights listening to another car blasting grundge then thumping dancing music in my head like a hammer and oh yeah there were only a few words then the song just repeats... haha... almost ran over an uber eats bicycle while dodging a foreign lady on the road inside the round about with a grocery trolley they stole... Yeah I was Lucky back then to live the life... once upon a time... hahaha... all you other people don't know what you missed out on... lol I certainly know what I'm missing now...
I know what you mean. But I kind of accept that it wouldn’t be ok these days to do a comedy piece like this but I don’t see that we should totally erase it from history either. Billy B pokes fun at the whole cricket commentary and coverage, locals included, rather than singling out just the overseas players by my reckoning. Anyhow hope you got a nostalgic laugh.
No, it just so happens that people are more creative and don't have to revert to racism and stereotypes. The game is keep up, not catch up, smelly knickers.
The humour that Billy Birmingham was looking for was surely not to poke fun at the players or race as a group, the butts of his satire were the commentators themselves & their inability to pronounce Asian names. Similar example might be Alf Garnett, he was target of the humour, not the black Caribbean characters he so claimed to hate.
@@andrewcrocker9432 well said....I don't see racism. U need to watch "how to talk Australians"....by an Indian group of comedians, f#$kin Hillarious....its on you tube
I had this on cassette, so "could someone turn the record over please" was followed by "it's a cassette you wanker, get on with it". Plus there was a censored version, which ended with "to maintain community standards, the producers happily agreed to remove shiitingfuckpissloadshitfuckfuck..." Absolute classic.
In 1984 Night Clubs Played this occasionally and everybody just loved it. Couldn't do it now, People are far too precious

I’m remember listening to this as a kid, now i work in television and it’s surprisingly accurate😂
I have this on LP and can't play it now so I had to refresh my memory. Brilliantly written.

No 2 in the year end charts in 1984 in Australia - only beaten by the Boss
How is it that we Australians have gone from having a wicked sense of humour, like this, to being so pathetically PC its just not Cricket
Blame the lefties for that.
I agree. These were the days.
Yep they've killed comedy in the UK too 😣
