Gary Sobers at the All Star cricket match interrupted by rain.

The cricketers walk onto the cricket field through the gate in the white picket fence in front of the pavilion, as boys approach hunting autographs. The players move away towards the pitch where a photographer is waiting. Outside the pavilion, players including Gary Sobers sign autographs. Amongst the spectators, television presenter Judith Chalmers sits on a Welsh woven blanket. More scenes of spectators around the score board. It begins to rain and people shelter under the mature trees around the ground and beneath umbrellas and an upturned chair. The players and umpire run towards the pavilion.
