“Marvellous!” is a comedic cricket parody by Billy Birmingham from the “Still the 12th Man” album. Ths song was number 1 on the Aria charts from April 4 1992 and lasted until 2 weeks. The song is a classic for anyone from the time as the commentary team are all featured brilliantly.

The concept of the album is a day in the life of Richie Benaud, the “captain” of the Channel 9 cricket commentary team. Resembling a game between Australia and Pakistan, this album includes Bruce Reid literally falling apart, Tony Greig and Bill Lawry hijacking the commentary box and Max Walker streaking and hijacking the commentary box.
