Australian Captain, Ian Chappell, and three other Test cricket players, Ashley Mallett, Terry Jenner and Eric Freeman, demonstrate the elements of the game. Using freeze-frame and slow motion techniques, the subtlety of various batting strokes and bowling deliveries are revealed by the experts, from the way a wrist is turned to the intricate foot-work required.
