Amazon Prime To Document Australia's Journey From Ball-Tampering Scandal To Ashes Success

The last couple of years will go down in the history of Australian cricket as one of the important chapters. From being called as ”Cheater” to regaining ”Ashes Cup”, the Australian Cricket Team achieved massive success in International Cricket. Meanwhile, Amazon Prime has started documenting Australia’s incredible Journey to reveal it for the fans in a series.

Amazon has acquired the sports documentary The Test: A New Era for Australia’s Team, an eight-part series that reveals the fall of Australian men’s cricket team following the ball-tampering scandal, named “sandpaper gate”. It saw them become the cheaters to the cricketing fanatics. In particular, the England fans have taken the opportunity to troll the whole Australian team.

It will be an 8-part series by Amazon

As a result, they banned David Warner, Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft, who all played a massive role for Australia’s success over the years. Following the ban, it took quite a few series for Australia to regain their charisma and win a series under the captaincy of Tim Paine.

However, following the conclusion of the ban, Steve Smith and David Warner made a brilliant comeback to bring back the lost glory to Australian Cricket Team. Warner was exceptional during the World Cup while Steve Smith was the star for Australia during Ashes Trophy, where he showed his real character to the world.

The eight-part series titled ‘The Test: A New Era for Australia’s Team’, will feature behind-the-scenes footage of Australia’s first-ever Test series loss to India on home soil, the World Cup semifinal exit and the Ashes defence after that, according to a report on ‘cricket.com.au’.

“As we continue to increase production of Australian Amazon Original series, our goal is to tell local stories that resonate with our Prime members and we believe that The Test will do just that,” said James Farrell, vice president of international originals at Amazon Studios as per The Hollywood Reporter.

The series will be available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video and will be available in more than 200 countries and territories around the world in early 2020. All in all, it is going to be a massive sale, as the entire cricketing world is aware of the incident, which was on the headlines for quite a few days.
