I am a big fan of the west indies cricketers especially Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh. Because these two make the game more interesting and fun

Rob i love all of your vidz being a cricket tragic myself and to see past highlights of games that i wasnt fortunate enough to see at the time is awesome!

Brendan Julian bowled really well but surely Reiffel is one of the most underrated fast bowlers Australia ever produced

That was a great and brilliant catch by Richie Richardson.

@16:15 That was truly an amazing delivery by amrose. Boon was clueless against it. This makes me laugh again and again.

The first period of Australia’s near 15 year dominance of cricket and the start of the West Indies downturn. Quite a historic series for those reasons and for the first victory by a touring team in the West Indies for a long time.

West Indies last time lost a test series at home before the 15 years streak was in 1973.again West Indies lost to Australia in test series in 1973 by 2-0. like they lost to Australia in 1995. West Indies 22 years undefeated at home in test series (1973-1995)both 1973 test series and 1995 test series lost against Australia.(1973-2000) they lost only two test series at home for 27 long years both against one team Australia.Those were the days at which both England and Australia had taken seriously other than the ashes was with West Indies test series

When they chase huge 418 run chase

I will say that was a good bouncer from Courtney Walsh to Slater.

@Crkt4Eva Well Ive now edited together every single series on the cover point videos, took all weekend but its done now! I used to hate it when cover point would put a whole series on one video, but not put the matches in a row, one match would be at the start of the video, one in the middle and one at the end. Surely you just want to watch the series in one go. Well thats what ive done! You get a much better feel for the series that way,95/96 SA v Eng,98/99 SA v WI were two series I 'get' now.

@Crkt4Eva Pretty cool back then! You liking my reviews im putting together from Cover Point? Some are really long, 1995 Eng v Wi is over an hour, same for 1998 Eng v SA, will upload both later. Good viewing!

Golden time when watching cricket was love.. this IPL etc has just ruined it

This series consisted the old school and some youngster West Indian players playing in their homeground against a mix of old school Aussie players and the youngsters who would transform Australia into a juggernaut for the next 10-12 years, This series was the start of Australia's rise and West Indies downfall.

I'm surprised that Richie wore a helmet, they're right when they said his technique changed. lol

Aus have been the best test team since the 1930s more often than any other country. WI had to wait 64/65 to finally beat them at home and then another 15 years to win in Aus but dont forget WWII from 39-45 meant no intl cricket for about 7-8 yrs so WI have the longest unbeaten run in tests and as a matter of fact in all intl team sports. But fuck arent WI making up for that unbeaten run now

this was the test series which west Indies loose after 15 years

Great upload by the way

David Gower looking like he's just escaped middle earth/auditioned for a role in Joseph with that hideous technicolour pullover @ 6:54

David Shepherd & Rudi Koertzen umpires rest in peace ✌️.

CEL . Ambrose CA.Walsh WKM . Benjamin KCG . Benjamin West Indies.

This series signaled the beginning of the end of West Indies dominance of world cricket. They would still be highly competitive for the next several years however from the start of the 2000's onwards the decline went into overdrive. We have some good young players now but I'm not sure if I will ever see another world beating dominant West Indies team again.

Richie Richardson should have been captain longer. His retirement started the freefall

@Aton Freckleton I know but I think Richardson was the only world class batsman at the time besides Lara. He might have got the best out of hooper or chanderpaul and taken some pressure off Lara. Walsh was a decent captain but I don't think he was much help for the batsmen

Joey Carew late former commentator David Hookes & Bobby Simpson players before this .

In my opinion the only 2 great fast bowlers are my favourite the great legends Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose than allan donald and wasim akram

England & West Indies should have been playing in coloured clothing from 1996 in home matches why 1998 could have been 2 years earlier .

Going nostalgic

Richie Richardson always supported the mediocre player.That is the reason of west Indies cricket downfall. He felt threaten from talented players.

Where is 1/2 the sound gone for this?.

Is Joey Carew related to Holding?

After this series West Indies cricket declined

27:58 pitching way way outside the leg stump. Again at 31:12

WI already looked the weaker team by the 92 Aus series. Australia for me was the better team even then. It was only Ambrose on Perth that won them then. Ambrose again won them the Perth test in 96-97 series but by then Aus was too far ahead of them. Also WI were already beatable by 88-89. Viv was no more the force he was in the 77-83 period. The big cat, the very underrated Lloyd was gone, Greenidge was last his best. Ambrose, Walsh were world class and comparable to earlier bowlers but Bishop/ Patterson/ Benjamin etc couldn't make up for the 80's quartet.

WI were lucky to win the 92-93 series as you said but after that series Aus only drew in NZ then they drew both home and away series against SA and they also lost in Pakistan the Aussies were there for the taking in this series Mcdermott and Fleming there 2 best fast bowlers of the time were injured the reason why WI lost this series is because there batting was very poor

4:58 what? McGrath was never a fast bowler. He is a medium pace metronome.

It is the 1st time I ever seeing this 1995 series against the WI vs Australia beaten them,at Sabina Park Kingston Jamaica. Becaused I already migrated to the united state, and the cable 🚠 TV in those days. Wasn't carrying cricket in the united state at all, so we only heard the Jamaica news in the morning time. Listening to what Holding is talking his nonessentical argument, about the pitches need some more grasses on it. To helped the WI bowlers them , they just don't good at all. Becaused it is the same pitches that the Australian bowlers them bowled on, and the batsmen batted on. So Holding should have ashamed of himself,by making a very stupid argument like that. The only way I would believed his stupidity argument, unless. The WI team batted on a different pitches and, also bowled . That Holding could be blaming the preparation of the pitches, the players them does not good enough. To competed with the Australian players them, they was out played in all areas of the games.The players especially the batsmen them, they played some atrocious shots giving away their wickets.The WI players them when they loose, they always trying to blamed someone from their poor performances over the years. I know that you have some cyber bullies out there, they does not like to hear the truth.This video is available for anyone to watched it, to see how poorly the WI team played. The team are in danger and, nobody does not have any form of patience. To go out there and try to play with any form of sense, everyone is trying to play big shots giving away their wickets. Then they are blaming the preparation of the pitches, which is not true at all.I am going to shared the videos them with the games them, to let everyone sees their poor performances and. Nothing at all is wrong with the pitches, because they does not know how to bat and bowled properly ok .

Is it just me or Tony cozier sounds like an extremely provocative commentator??? He did get emotional and carried away a lot I have to say both in windies's victories and defeat
