Been coming across some really good cricket documentaries on YouTube, that I felt like sharing. Unfortunately, there aren't enough great ones out there. The best ones over the years have been made by Sky Sport and to watch them you obviously need a Sky subscription that I do not have. So I figured this thread can be where anyone can share such docs. if they come across them on the internet.
 
To start off, I found this wonderful doc. called Spinwash on England's 1993 tour of India. It's a three-parter series and really well-made and in-depth look at the tour:

Part 1:


Part 2:

Part 3:

 
Also came across this doc. (also from Sky) on the 2003 Cricket World Cup. More of a recap but very comprehensive:

 
A Bat and Ball War - the documentary on Pakistan's 1999 tour of India.

Feels like it's from another planet. Pakistan team invited to an official function while being serenaded by a guy singing a Falguni Pathak tune (very 90s). Wasim exchanging pleasantries with Sachin. That poor disabled boy doing everything he could to watch from the stands.

Shame there was never a followup documentary in 2004 or 2005.
 
This is an excellent documentary on 2005 Ashes series. One of the best Ashes series in recent times where we saw the best of Andrew Flintoff with bat and ball.
