    It was 1981 and yet again England looked down the barrel of defeat to Australia in the Third Test match at Headingly; a defeat which would also condemn them to another Ashes loss. With a handful of wickets remaining in their second innings England still trailed the Aussies and out to the crease came Ian Botham a man who had been relieved of the England captaincy earlier in the series. What was to follow would argueably be English cricket's defining moment. With a swashbuckling cen

    The West Indies cricket team in the 1970s and 80s rightly continues to be regarded as one of the finest of all time. Names such as Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd, Malcolm Marshall and Gordon Greenidge played the kind of cricket that remains talked about to this day. But what the film Fire In Babylon does is dig a little deeper, examining the ramifications of what that team achieved off the pitch as well as on it. Fire In Babylon examines the oppression and prejudice that the West Indies team was batting against, and how it came to gradually overcome them. It looks, too, at just what can be achieved by sporting success, with many of the key names of the time all contributing. Running to a little shy of 90 minutes, Fire In Babylon blends match footage when it can, and breezes through its running time. Perhaps it doesn’t quite fully match its ambitions, but it does provide a thoughtful, engaging documentary, one whose appeal should extend far beyond followers of cricket. It’s an uplifting piece of work, and one that really deserves to be seen. --Jon Foster
