Several mute library clips of cricket matches intercut with interviews with unnamed England players both past and present and some newly shot interiors of a cricket ground (probably Lord's as the 'Old Father Time' weather vane is visible in one shot). The intervees respond to unheard questions and talk about playing for England, the follow on rule, personalities in cricket and the amateur game. The first interviewee is likely to be David Allen (talks about joining Gloucestershire in 1953) and the second may be Godfrey Evans (says that he played in 91 tests). The other two are not known. Towards the end of the film there are also brief interviews with the Australian player Richie Benaud and another unidentifed cricketer.
