After the death of his father Sir Frank in 1. Kerry Packer had assumed control of Channel Nine, one of the many media interests owned by the familys company Consolidated Press Holdings CPH. With Nines ratings languishing, Packer sought to turn the network around via an aggressive strategy that included more sports programming. Firstly, he secured the rights to the Australian Open golf tournament. He spent millions of dollars revamping The Australian Golf Club in Sydney as a permanent home for the tournament. Jack Nicklaus was hired to redesign the course and to appear in the tournament. Packer was a fan of cricket, which was undergoing a resurgence in popularity during the mid 1. In 1. 97. 6, Packer sought the rights to televise Australias home Test matches, the contract for which was about to expire. He approached the ACB with an offer of A1. The ACB felt loyal to the ABC, which had broadcast the game for twenty years when the commercial networks showed little interest in the game. Packer believed that there was an old boy network element to the decision,5 and he was furious at the dismissive way that his bid was handled.

Determined to get some cricket on Channel Nine, Packer put an offer to the Test and County Cricket Board TCCB to telecast the Australian tour of England scheduled for 1. His interest was further stimulated by a proposal to play some televised exhibition matches, an idea presented to him by West Australian businessmen John Cornell and Austin Robertson. Robertson managed several high profile Australian cricketers such as Dennis Lillee. Packer took this idea, then fleshed it out into a full series between the best Australian players and a team from the rest of the world. His mistrust of crickets administrators deepened when the ACB recommended the TCCB accept an offer for their broadcasts rights from the ABC, even though ABCs 2. Packer. 7 For the first time, the games officialdom had a demonstration of Packers wherewithal he immediately doubled his original offer and won the contract. But he never forgot the machinations involved in winning the bid. Secret signingseditPackers planning of the proposed exhibition series was audacious. In early 1. 97. 7, he began contracting a list of Australian players provided by recently retired Australian Test captain. Ian Chappell. A bigger coup was achieved when Packer convinced the England captain. Tony Greig to not only sign on, but to act as an agent in signing many players around the world. By the time the season climaxed with the Centenary Test match between Australia and England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March 1. Packers enterprise, which as yet had no grounds to play on, no administration and was secret to all in the cricket world. It was a measure of the players dissatisfaction with official cricket that they were prepared to sign up for what was still a vague concept and yet keep everything covert. By the time the Australian team arrived to tour England in May 1. Packer. News of the WSC plans were inadvertently leaked to Australian journalists, who broke the story on 9 May. Immediately, all hell broke loose in the hitherto conservative world of cricket. Not unexpectedly, the English were critical of what they quickly dubbed the Packer Circus and reserved particular vitriol for the English captain Tony Greig, for his central role in organising the break away. Greig retained his position in the team, but was stripped of the captaincy and ostracised by everyone in the cricket establishment, most of whom had been singing his praises just weeks before. It seemed certain that all Packer players would be banned from Test and first class cricket. The Australian players were a divided group and the management made their displeasure clear to the Packer signees. Dispirited by this turn of events and hampered by poor form and indifferent weather, Australia crashed to a 30 defeat, surrendering the Ashes won two years before.

West Indian captain Clive Lloyd interviewed after leaving the Caribbean team to join Packer, Lloyd stated it was nothing personal it was clearly earning a more comfortable source of income.

Court caseeditA largely unknown Kerry Packer arrived in London in late May 1. He appeared on David Frosts The Frost Programme to debate his concept with commentators Jim Laker and Robin Marlar. Marlars aggressive, indignant interrogation of Packer came unstuck when Packer proved to be articulate, witty and confident that his vision was the way of the future. The show significantly raised Packers profile and converted some to his way of thinking. The main goal of his trip was to meet the games authorities and reach some type of compromise. He made a canny move by securing Richie Benaud as a consultant. Benauds standing in the game and his journalistic background helped steer Packer through the politics of the game.
