World Series Cricket Ad 1980: 'Cricket 1980s style'

Following an agreement between Kerry Packer and the Australian Cricket Board in mid-1979, World Series Cricket players were once again able to be selected for the 'official' Australian cricket team.

This particular ad for the World Series Cup competition promotes the excitement generated by one-day cricket and highlights its difference from the traditional game.

It also spotlights many of world cricket's most dynamic and popular players from the time.

This advertisement, created by Sydney ad agency Mojo Partners, is part of a campaign that illustrates the impact 'The Packer Revolution' had on official cricket.

Prominent throughout the campaign is the use of the successful Mojo Singers 'C'mon Aussie C'mon' tune.
