This excellent BBC2 series (Sunday evenings) takes a long overdue look at the history of the game and the reason it has such an appeal particularly in the former colonies. England, the West Indies and Australia all have a fascinating history in the appeal of the game, and how it has helped to cross class divides or in some cases widen them.
Whilst I'm not sure that fitting in very recent cricket history to fit in with the wider historical picture is particularly suitable, it's nonetheless well worth a watch. Of those episodes coming up, the histories of Pakistan and South African cricket are bound to be interesting.

They only covered India instead of Pakistan, and South Africa didn't even get a mention.
