FIRE IN BABYLON – The rise of West Indies cricket

Who wants to watch this documentary about the rise of West Indies cricket with me?

SYNOPSIS
They brought the world to its knees,
and a nation to its feet.Fire In Babylon is the breathtaking story of how the West Indies triumphed over its colonial masters through the achievements of one of the most gifted teams in sporting history.

In a turbulent era of apartheid in South Africa; race riots in England and civil unrest in the Caribbean, the West Indian cricketers, led by the enigmatic Viv Richards, struck a defiant blow at the forces of white prejudice worldwide. Their undisputed skill, combined with a fearless spirit, allowed them to dominate the genteel game at the highest level, replaying it on their own terms.

This is their story, told in their own words.

I think the next unexplored frontier for the Indian team is fast bowling. Let’s develop some lean, mean fighting machines!

Read this review of the FIRE IN BABYLON. Favorite part is when cricket writer David Frith asks Viv Richards why he wore a Rastafarian wristband.
