About

"There is a little bit of the whore in all of us, gentlemen. What is your price?" Kerry Packer asked the Australian Cricket Board at the time he was denied the television rights. Snubbed by the ACB, the Australian media tycoon revolutionised world cricket by establishing the World Series Cricket. He paid large amounts of money to some of the best players from across the world to start his own series, which was initially dismissed as 'pyjama cricket'. In this episode, Ayaz Memon explains how Packer left an indelible mark on the game and WSC changed cricket forever.
