*FIRST FINAL* 1985 Australia v West Indies (World Series Cup ODI cricket @ SCG)
Спорт
Rank underdog Australia stuns the Windies to win the first final of the 1984/85 Benson & Hedges World Series Cup at the SCG. The match was dominated by Allan Border's first innings 127, coming to the wicket at 2/7. Highlights of the West Indies run chase.

My hero as a kid. Started watching cricket bcz of him! ❤ from India 🇮🇳
This marks the end of amazing era of cricket dominated by great WI lead by great Clive Lloyd with Greenidge, Haynes, Gomes, Richards, Logie, Dujon, Holding, Marshall, Garner and Roberts. The names remain in my heart for ever just like their wonderful gentlemenly cricket.

What do u mean by 'at least 5 missed chances', that Richards gave?... Can u bloody count⁉️.. There was 2 dropped by Wood that were difficult (the one running and one dived), and the other by Alderman - who was running down to deep mid. So there was only 3 that ol' 'Smokin' Joe' gave.
What a great player Richards was, the kind of strokes & class he demonstrated was simply outstanding. Perhaps the best in the business.
when viv gets out, the celebration is genuine, like a thorn viv was, scoring runs freely. capable of obliterating any attack. dont think any other evidence needed to show viv as king. even crowd knew how important this one wickets was. viv used to invoke the fear of defeat in the opponents eyes. alpha male, direct descendant of semos.
Richards played without wearing helmet and other cricketing gear. The man was a marvel indeed. Today's great batsmen who play wearing heavy defensive armour on their person cannot be compared to him. He always dominated over bowlers of all hues. He was and is my favourite cricketer.

I thought this game would be interesting, and it looked familiar to me. When the commentator mentioned that it was Allan Border, coming in at 2-7 and hitting 127 not out, it confirmed my ageing memory, I was at that game. Border's highest one day score for Australia.

I had just started Year 8 and being in Queensland, without daylight saving, the game was two hours in when I got home from school at 3.30. However, I didn't get to see any of Border's innings because, being on a dairy farm, and me being the oldest son, I had to help my father milk the cows. Saw all the run chase though, bar the part obscured by the nightly news on channel 9.
My mum took me to the game as a kid, shame to miss the Aus innings, Aus were on the back foot until Border scored 100+. The Windies flogged Aus during that test series and Border took over the captaincy from Kim Hughes I believe for the 5th test at Sydney. What a brilliant team the WI were back then. Then came the Aussie rebuild under border, that was also Mcdermott's first series - he was our hero and we would wear zinc on our noses and bottom lip! I can remember the cheering for Australia when we won, those were the days! Fantastic innings of 42 to Malcolm Marshall, RIP. Thanks for the upload!

The Windies were household names and 'rock stars' in the 80s in Aus. Anyone notice that the uniforms are the same just different colours? Teams didn't have their own clothing kit then. Can you believe the Australian Cricket Board would have ordered and provided the jerseys for the West Indies players?
My fvt bowler all the time was Joel garner
This man, Vivian Richards is fantastic to watch, whether he scores or not, every moment of his is spectacular, unfortunate are today's generation,they see the virat, dhoni, sachin, de Villiers etc, they get bonkers seeing this players, imagine if viv was playing today, with bat of highest quality, flat pitches, restriction on bouncers,distance of boundary of shorter distance, etc imagine this would have been a biryani for viv,I would say viv was the greatest batter with unique style of his own, thanks for this video, God bless.

महान अभिवादन विवियन रिचर्ड्स👊
One of the reasons Viv Richards got dropped so often was he hit the ball so bloody hard! Prolly fielders dreaded the catch coming to them for that reason plus they didn't want to be the one to drop it and cost their team the game, so they weren't mentally ready to be the hero to take a match winning catch when the opportunity did arrive. If one opposition batsman can have this effect on most of the opposition fielding side, that is one phenomenal batsman. The only way Australia were going to win this game, having done most other things right in this game, was if one of their bowlers could hit Viv's stumps ...
