Funny video - Dire Straits vs. Crew 1986 Cricket Match

A fellow posted this on Guy's forum today. Get's boring after a while, but many funny moments.

Does anyone know if this video features Peter Granger, the sound engineer the Money For Nothing compilation album is dedicated to?

Thanks for posting, very interesting!, never seen this before.
I didn't spot Terry, Jack or Chris White though.

Amazing stuff and good quality too.  One wonders where all this stuff surfaces from and just how many more rarities are waiting to be unearthed to the YouTube world.  There was bound to be quite a bit of media coverage during the BIA tour, for example.

terry and chris i saw briefly.
also, mark looks so relaxed, and he sooooooo not uses his standard phrases...

Have you read the comments on youtube? They are kind of peculiar!!!

Pete Granger is at 3.08.
Also Paul Cummings the Tour manager was there
with his girlfriend.
I like it when a young Guy Fletcher burps!!
A great find. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers. BBB

Nice to see Michael Parkinson there as well.
The top UK TV talk show host.

Yeah Terry was there, but can't see Chris, or maybe just can't recognize him.
Sorry for my ignorant quesiton, but who's the guy in the glasses?

Parkie is well known for his love of cricket, being a Yorkshireman I suppose.  Still, what he was doing out there I do not know and I also wasn't aware he and Mark had previous.

I know Ed was joking around, but my impression is that he is a bit ... sleazy might be too strong a word, but you know what I mean.

Really enjoyed watching this.   Ed is a bit weird, but it is such a great atmosphere, wish I could time travel back.
