Plane strikes, illness, selection blunders; England’s 1993 tour of India was full of drama. Michael Atherton looks back at an unforgettable trip in the first of our three-part Spinwash 93 documentary.
The omission of David Gower dominated England’s preparations ahead of the 1992/1993 tour of India. A pilot strike added to the early chaos.

Most unforgettable series for my personally since I watched my first cricket match live at Chepauk ! Pavilion Terrance tickets and got autographs from Sunil Gavaskar and Dennis Lille ! And Sidhu and Sachin scored a century too !

Very surprising that an English team stuck with the tour despite such issues. Usually they pack their bags at the slightest of health issues. Kudos to the team they were professional and decided to respect the love that India had for cricketers.

Different times back then as well. Players were a lot less pampered and just got on with it. There wasn’t as much money in the game as there is now and it was a more innocent time as well. Teams didn’t have loads of security around them, unlike they have today.

@@mrkipling2201 True. Miss those days. A unique mix of laid back cricket + exciting play.. Dont know if that came out right but I miss that. Cos now I feel too much tech is making bowlers, batsmen concentrate more on technique rather than natural flair.

@@thiruvettiit came out perfectly mate. I totally agree with you. Although my team, England, have started to make test cricket very exciting to watch, with the recent Ashes series a prime example of that. Which team do you follow?? Test cricket will always be the best form of the game for me. Your preference of cricket is??

@@mrkipling2201 Nice to hear back from you after sometime.. I follow India and my favorite form of game is Test cricket. (also I like IPL- CSK due to Dhoni). I love the tests played in Eng/Aus.. But I love spin track on India/SL more.. cos Spin makes it exciting. I take pride in being one of the early ones in my group to spot the renaissance of England cricket (especially in white ball) after their ouster from 2015 WC. That time my friends mocked me thinking I was joking. I credit Jason Roy for all this cos he is the one who started this bold style of play. When they hit the first 400 in ODI, the same friends thought it was fluke. But I again reassured them something big was in the making. Funny to see few of them become big fans of England team but they never seem to credit me for making them realise this! Also love their brand of Bazball in Tests. Although I would wait and watch how they bazball fairs in Australian and Indian pitches.
I can't imagine how the bunch would feel watching this. Memories are priceless! This is golden stuff from Sky Cricket.
As to the documentary, it brought back fond memories of my childhood. This series, i had watched with my brother. We didn't miss a single session of the entire series...
Thank you for this documentary. I remember watching the test matches from this tour as a 10 year old. I had also just arrived from a visit from India for six weeks so I was fascinated with my heritage! Watching this, it makes so much sense why Alec Stewart decided not to tour in 2001 🤣🤣
Amazing to see how far the game has come...brilliant by Sky!
Thanks Sky - Hope you release more of this
Was a bright eyed 8 year old Sri Lankan boy watching this live in Dubai after I had just comprehended the rules of cricket. Amazing how I still have memories of this almost 30 years later. Never thought I’d see these images again !
This is my favourite tour ever. Thank you so much to Sky Sports for making this into a series!
To win big overseas tours, you need to get there very early and prepare properly. Play as many tour games as possible on similar wickets that you’ll get in the test series. That’s what we did in Australia in 2010/11 and look what happened.
Extremally well documented in my opinion. Kudos to the editor of this.
Really enjoyable film and amusing! Can't wait for series 2
Thanks for this loving this! Piece of history
Brilliant documentary. Sky Cricket never disappoints. Waiting for the remaining episodes.
Brilliant and thank you so much for posting such a gem,.
Awesome clippings guys.... These tough touring days are the days which you guys still cherish.. The experience of India as a country in early 90s.. Today things are so different.. U guys hv contributed to the growth of the game in the country. Awesome video... Thanks Sky
We have come a long, long way in most aspects in India. Opening up of the economy back then did wonders in more ways than we can imagine. This is quality stuff, Sky. Keep 'em coming.

I always thought we should have picked Peter Such as one of our spinners, instead of Ian Salisbury. Although he was a very good county player, I thought Salisbury wasn’t a test match quality player. Mind you, his batting wasn’t bad, which was a huge help in the tour of Pakistan in 2000.
I always believe that a documentary should always be for cricket events not only on players
Oh this is so so Good. I remember this being the first home series I had watched on TV as an 8 year old. Sweet Nostalgia.
Mike's voice is as soothing

thank you sky
This should have come before England India test series this year, England team would have performed way better after taking this Documentary as inspiration
Wow something new ty
And now such is the might of BCCI that it can end up buying planes, airports and hotels if it comes to that. This is such a fascinating documentary to watch.
The music…great 80s stuff
Got Spinwashed this winter as well
Remember this tour as a kid. As the tour progressed, English players looked jaded and seemed to have lost interest in playing and wanted to just go back home
Anyone remember a video diary of that tour from a supporter's point of view made by Kevin Allen (the brother of Keith who a few years later directed the film Twin Town)?
Top quality home videos from Dermot, not to be sniffed at...
Why BCCI don't make such documentary now a days?? This was Masterpiece 😍
Sky sports you are mind-blowing. Undoubtedly the best cricket channel in the world and fittingly it's from England. Such a great documentary. Would like to watch more of the same.❤️❤️
What an legend v loging in 93
2:17 one win in 26 test matches is sackable not just for the captain but for the entire board. How ironic now that Indian cricket did not have money in cricket once upon a time
Fun fact 1993 is the last time ENGLAND win the odi series india 🙏🙏🙏🙏

*They had transportation issues back then now BCCI can send charter plane for 1 or 2 players!*
England tour of 1977 under Tony Greig would be brilliant to cover next or probably the England tour of 1981 when David Gower was on England tour. I guess, these videos or documentaries will become historical documents for the new generations say fifty or hundred years from now as nowadays sometimes we wonder about the times of Don Bradman, WG Grace or Len Hutton etc. But i am wondering, should the Indian tours to England now not be brought onto TV when India is touring England and not the other way around of England visiting India. I suppose, the ontour footage of behind the cricket ground could only be in the Indian hands, if they ever recorded anything. Perhaps india may have such footage and be willing to share it too if someone asks india.

This is hilarious! 😂
So England chose not to pick one of their very best batsmen (Gower) or best pure wicketkeeper Jack Russell for no logical reason. That's crazy.

@19:59 Sir Geoffrey doing SA accent
Some one mentioned that it is strange that there are no flights to lot of places in such a big country India. If they go back and check their history, the sad and poor state of a india was due to their own country England. They looted india for more than 200 years, pushed from one of the most wealthiest countries to one of the poorest countries. 25+ years later, we are fastest growing economies in the world...Made huge development in Software, IT, Space, pharma and manufacturing industries...We have still long way to go, but we are getting there, not by looting someone else, but by sheer intelligence, hard work, and dedication...When I think of other countries who grew by pushing other countries down or looting, i feel so proud that I am an Indian...I may be still poor when compared to you wealthy nations, but I got whatever through legitimate means...
Quite a few selection mistakes definitely. I don’t think it would have been 3-0 to India if Gower, Russell, Fraser and a couple of others had been selected.
