    "England v Australia - possibly Sydney" - actually this is Victoria v England (Marylebone Cricket Club) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne.

    The game was played on 11, 12 and 14 November 1932.

    "player speaking to camera - Douglas Jardine?" - yes, that's Douglas Jardine.

    "British player speaks in C/U at the end of the match - Jardine?" - yes, again that's Jardine.

    "O'Brien" is Leo O'Brien.

    "Joseph Darling" should read Len Darling.

    "Barnett" is Ben Barnett.
