Title: Oz 86 Cricket Match
Post by: Banjo99uk on September 05, 2020, 02:53:43 AM

Ive seen an old clip with MK, band and crew about a cricket match in Oz 86 but I’ve never seen the whole documentary before. I saw the whole 25 minute episode tonight for the first time. It has the legendary British chat show host Michael Parkinson taking part. Does anyone know anymore about that. Mark appeared with him for the STP promotion.

I guess it all tied up well as Parkinson was a huge cricket lover and MK is too. Guy Fletcher is after all 'nicknamed' - 'Keith' by MK after the one time chairman of selectors - Keith Fletcher....

Don't forget the time Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar (also a keen MK fan) traded one of his bats for a Strat!!
