The Twelfth Man Again!

The 12th Man Again! is Billy Birmingham's classic 1990 Australian comedy album, parodying a one day international cricket broadcast through spot-on impressions of the Channel Nine commentary team. Featuring exaggerated versions of Richie Benaud, Bill Lawry, Tony Greig, Ian Chappell and others, the routine spirals from a normal cricket match into complete chaos, packed with outrageous commentary, running gags, wordplay and satire of Australian sports broadcasting. One of the country's best-selling comedy recordings, it remains a cult favourite among cricket fans and collectors.

As a product of its era, the recording also contains language and cultural stereotypes that reflect the attitudes of the time and may be considered offensive or insensitive by today's standards.
