You know you can sit there and be super critical of these types of bi optic niche historical mini series. But that would be unfair to Howzat . It is simply better than that . The acting over all is great . Lockie Hulme who plays Kerry Packer is outstanding . He captured KP's ability to be enraged and bully people but he also captured the other generous side of KP and his genuine love of cricket The actors who portray the cricketers , especially the main Aussie cricketers all do a great job with what they as actors have to work with . Historically the show is accurate able to quickly get the political issues surrounding World Series Cricket v the establishment across an informative and entertaining manner . In the end it covers a time in Australian history that changed cricket world wide for ever . Thanks Mr Parker.
