I am from India and was in junior college then. There was no cable connection in India at that time (at least it was in early stages and we didn't have one at home). I secretly took the transistor from home and bunked my classes, went to the terrace of college building, which would normally be locked, by bribing watchman some Rs 5. I then listened to this most amazing test match by tuning into shortwave and having the antenna up. what a feeling and what a match. Thanks RobelIndia for posting it

Hey... I was preparing for my medical entrance in a coaching center having finished my intermediate. Read about it only in the paper.

Brilliant action. No nonsense sledging just hard toughness from both sides. I also noticed that when the batsman was out he walked straight away. No rubbish hanging around trying to deceive the umpire. The early 1990`s saw some of the greatest clashes in the history of cricket between the Windies and Aussies. Brilliant and awesome.

I've waited 20 years to watch this match, having only read about it in the Wisden Cricket Monthly magazine at the time. Thanks for uploading.

I've heard a lot about this as the greatest cricket match played ever. And indeed it is. Salute to Ambrose and team.

I watch that give and if the empire did his job and give that clear lbw against Australia there wouldn't of been no drama with west indies winning by one run

West Indies couldn't beat 183 but a decade later they defended 185. Brilliant bowling attack. 🔥

Gutting. Absolutely gutting. I'll never forget the sight of AB's reaction to Billy getting out. And Curtly Ambrose the Antiguan behemoth cleaned us up in Perth to add insult to injury. We were so close to conquering the Windies, but Tubby's team did it in the Caribbean a couple of years later, and the Aussies have never lost a series to them since. :)

Despite of result of this historical test match, the most important point i saw with proud that the passionate expressions of all windies bowlers,players after each Aussie wicket fall, and particularly last of the match, all these clears about their genuine unique love about this beautiful game of cricket. Thats why windies players have achieved great respect in our minds despite their onfield performance s and results,and this dignified love about this game is base of its long time fan following. We all should always keep cricket from any type of match fixing all over the world.

In hindsight, it seems that this was the great West Indies empire fading, shadows looming, cracks appearing playing away in Australia. Marshall, Holding, Roberts, Garner, Croft long gone. Ambrose was just brilliant. It was thanks to Ambrose and Walsh that they still possessed that threatening aura in subsequent years (no disrespect to the great players they had through the 90s, Lara for example was the best and some good quicks too) even as they slipped and Australia rose to prominence.

Fascinating viewing this series, the Windies coming to the end of their dominant era and Australia at the early stages of starting theirs. Could have gone either way, but Windies still had a very potent attack at this point. This version of Ian Bishop, before all the serious back injuries, was a world-class bowler.

as a saffer, its still the 99 semis by the way thanks for all the vids rob, you deserve more thanks from your subs

Probably the best game of cricket I've ever witnessed... Just me and 3 others on the concourse opposite the members celebrating this win... Great game...

He scored a century (unbeaten from memory??) in first test in Brisbane but failed to score any more runs in that series. Lara’s 277 in Sydney turned the tide against Australia and then Ambrose took 20 wickets in last two tests to win the series almost single-handedly. WI won last test in Perth in 2.5 days!

Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of one of the greatest test matches ever played!!! JAN 26-1993 was the day when Aussies lost the Test at Adelaide by a solitary run! ONe of my favorite Test matches...used to go to my Aunt's house place to watch the Highlights in Star TV then....What a match...What a match!....What A match! The 1992-1993 - WI vs AUS 4th TEST match at Adelaide..which the West Indies Won by 1 Run.... And then Big Man Curtley Ambrose finished off the aussies in Perth with a spell that still binds my cricketing heart to him! and to Him only! He was the god of bowling for me till he retired.... The same year i got out of School and into Undergraduate College in India! 25 Years !

Days of play and a victory by 1 run - that's why Test is always best

I have been searching for tapes or cd for the past test matches but could not find them. Now its an opportunity for me look all matches I have not seen.Thank you.

Walls and Ambi are the great match winners for windes.

I remember this test match and if you're English, it's always good to see the Aussies lose. I particularly enjoyed our two run win at home against them in 2005.

not back then though, WI won everything for 25 years.

You have more recorded cricket matches that i think the rest population of the world combined wouldn't have 😁

Walsh master class bowler. Brilliant

As I said, deja vu when we experienced what happened at Edgbaston in 2005. The whole momentum of the series changed on that one test. England were never going to catch us had we gone up 2-0 after 2 tests. However, they found a lot of confidence for the rest of the series. As you said, instead of breaking the Windies reign at #1, we lost and got absolutely RISSOLED in the decider at Perth within 3 days, courtesy of the 7 for 1 spell by Ambrose, which single-handedly won them that match.

Wow, what a match! A true thriller. I like to watch Tim May bowl. The way he starts his run-up: stop-start-stop-start.

superlike this!! I had been waiting for it since like ..eternity!! ROB IS A LEGEND!

I was 12 years old watching this at 2am with school in the morning. I spoke about it all day.

The magnificent Border was ALWAYS there for Aus whenever they needed, wasn't he?!What a superb player to have as the guiding beacon...my god, really hat's off!!

Shoaib Akhtar, Walsh, Ambrose, Akram, Hughes, Marshal, Kapil Dev were the real macho bowlers... Tendulkar played in all these eras hence the greatest batsman... Even if Kohli break Sachin records, he can never ever match the skills of Sachin... Such tough bowlers of that era can never be found now...

1992-93 series what a famous series and what enthusiasm Windies showed in that series, that you can fall in love with cricket just because of that. though I was only 10 at tht time but fell in love with their cricket. This was the last series where Windies played like Kings of Cricket, young generation can not ever get the feel of real cricket until we have a strong Windies team.

One of the best test matches in cricket

WHEN PLAYERS LOOK BACK ON THEIR CAREERS, THESE ARE THE TYPE OF GAMES THAT they NEVER FORGET, whether they were on the loosing or winning end--this was one hell of a match, in fact, this was a bowler's pitch. not that many runs were scored from either one of the two teams. so in essence, the better bowling team was left to win the game

If anybody could take the last wicket to win is Walsh the most accurate bowler in this situation.

Australia can thank Dean Jones for this defeat. He is the one who aggravated Curtly Ambrose during the one day series by complaining about his arm band. That was the moment when Curtly roared to life in this series.

@darrenmiles-morland8038

I totally agree. In the following test match in Perth, Curtly Ambrose took 7 wickets for 1 run, and Australia were crushed by an innings inside of 3 days. Ambrose won 3 awards straight after the Perth test, those being Player of the Match, Player of the Series, and Player of the entire Australian Summer.

lovely action by timmy may....just lovely

Still leaves me feeling shattered every time I watch this.

Rob, you must've recorded highlights from TV as I did, as I had this match (as well as much of the series) on VCR as well, before having to throw it, and a lot of other recorded games, out when I traveled overseas. Thanks for letting me see this again. :-)

I remember watching this match at 3am. I was 12 and had school in the morning I spoke about it all day at school.

Cricket badly needs a Windies side similar to the one which dominated the scene from the 70s till the 90s. They were real entertainers and crowdpullers.

and who was the only player to consistently play well against Ambrose this series. the one and only David Boon

24:48 junior murry is batting outside of his popping crease, interesting considering he is facing tim may lol

Absolutely brilliant cricket! Thx for sharing. Tough, resolute play. The brief shots of Lara are amazing. His talent shines through. But nothing could equal the presence of Curtly Ambrose. What - a - bowler! It's hard to believe but I believe we underestimate his ability. Others may have more wickets but Ambrose would have to be right up there as the bowler you'd least like to see steaming up the pitch when it counted.

Pretty much the best bowler in the last 30 yrs. Has the best average too of those bowlers.

Beautiful comment dude, have a great day!

The last wicket virtually changed the series result from Australia win to West Indies win, with the Perth test left and such a let down here meant the Windies would win that test as well.

well then crack a beer open and enjoy it man!

Hooper's catching was fantastic.

At the time of this match we had only ABC radio commentary Billorry & Richibaneat are the commentators And also it is a nail-biting finish

Very aggressive bowling of west indies pacemen, it really scares me. But really an incredible match. Mervyn hughes bowling is worth to see as he is big burlesque but bowling slower deliveries but still took 5/63 in one innings. And other australian bowlers are so fine to see i remember when first cable tv came to my home in 1993...when i was 12 year old. Memorable match cricket, as it is played in its simplicity.

Ouch. Just two runs away from breaking the West Indies reign at #1. Not winning a test series vs West Indies was Allan Border's regret as captain. We had to wait another two more years before we got another opportunity at them. When I saw the Edgbaston test in 2005, I felt a sense of deja vu especially given what panned out during the rest of the series. Btw, do you think McDermott hit that or not? There's been a lot of debate about this all these years later

That last wicket before W.I. victory ... was not out. But, then again there was no third empire.

When they say Test cricket is boring, just show them this.

That is a last time to CARREBIAN team win the test series in AUSTRALIA home pitch

interesting to see Australia fielding two pace bowlers and then the spin quartet of Warne/May and the Waugh brothers.

What a young cricketer ,,, Waugh,, Lara,, Ambrose,, wolsh,, worne,, Langer Hooper,,,👌👌

such a beautiful memory this match is😍😍

Best Frank Worrell trophy series 1. 1999 series 2. 1992/3 series 3. 1981 series 4. 1991 series N.B I don't put the 60/61 series because I wasn't around then. Wasn't even around for the 81 series but I've seen highlights

It being Ian Healey......im sure lara's dismisaal in the 1st innings would have been different under the gaze of a 3rd umpire

It's seems that whenever there was a fearsome Windies quick tearing threw and Aussie batting lineup, he would save his best ball for getting Allan Border. How do you play that!

Australians were fucked bigtime by Ambrose in that series. He became my hero after that.

Actually i believe the windies were on the wane they had lost a lot of great players. Greenidge, richards, Marshall and dujon. Haynes and Richardson were nearing the end of their careers and whilst Richardson was good, haynes was really out of sorts. Hooper was a waste of talent, arthurton didnt have a brain and the 150 was his only decent innings. Adams was starting out but was never going to be a great player and simmons was never going to be a top test player because he was too aggresive for his own good. Basically the west indies won the series In the end because of lara and ambrose. Australia was on the rise and would have won had ambrose was not there. Ambrose really was the big difference In this series and at his peak.

Absolute classic test match. Is there footage of the 1st test at the GABba?

Justin langer made a half century in his debut in Perth in series that 50 had more value than a hundred in another he became the first Australian batsman to achieve that in Perth against west indies i admired him for that
