10 July 1934, radio coverage of the third cricket test match between Australia and England at Old Trafford from radio station 2UE in Sydney, ssound effects and all.
The staff are pictured here at the end of the match which ended in a draw.
Decades before the first communications satellites, Australians loved to stay up listening to "live" broadcasts of Test cricket from England.
