Cricket films

   It seems like there has been a bit of a flurry of films coming out recently all based around cricket, I wonder if there is a reason for this? Recent releases include:

Out of the Ashes (about the Afghanistan cricket team)
Fire in Babylon
From the Ashes (about Botham's 1981 Ashes victory)

Personally I have seen Out of the Ashes, we saw an advanced preview and I have to say it was very good! A must watch for any cricket fan and I think a great film for non-cricket fans too (if you can get them to watch it).

Have you seen any of the above films (or any others for that matter)? Planning on going to see Fire in Babylon soon...

	Fire in Babylon has been on my 'to-do-soon' lists for quite some time, hardly get the time. Wretched work keeps me busy during the weekends too these days(this what happens when you the junior most in the company)... So i'll just add 'Out of the Ashes' to that list and continue to whine it out over here. Hope to tick it off sooner than later. Thanks!!
