Richie Benaud was born with grey hair, I dont think he was ever young. No matter how far back you go, his commentary is a constant.

What a fine cricketer Hughes was. He played spin with ease, was comfortable against pace and fielded superbly.

This was the real turning point tour of Windies long domination . In 75 they got smashed and in 79 they smashed back. Aussies rattled . Marshall was the best bowler i have seen , but this quartet was the best WI ever produced in my opinion .

Can’t argue with any of that. Not only did they have the greatest quartet of fast bowlers ever seen they also had Richards at his absolute supreme best.

One thing that a lot of commentators seem to overlook is how proficient the WI tail-enders were with the bat, or certainly could be. Big Bird, Roberts and Holding could not be underestimated, they were strong guys who could score quickly.

I SECOND THE MOTION COMING FROM ST LUCIA LAWRENCE ROWE WAS MY FAVORITE WEST INDIAN BATSMAN WHENEVER I HOLD A CRICKET BAT IN MY HANDS I WAS LAWRENCE ROWE (MR ELEGANCE) SWEEEEEEET

What a fast bowling era it was. Michael Holding, “sheer poetry” in fast bowling (Imran Khan once called him)

I'm no expert but this West Indian side was the best side ever: batting, bowling, fielding, Capiancy and team spirit: the will and means to win. Wow!

Scary how much pace Andy Roberts could generate

What a fantastic time in my life with these guys so much memmories ❤

I have been reading articles published on Google stating that Dennis Lillee never bowled a no ball in his Test career..... so what's that starting at 48:21? I hate incorrect info!!!

@1:14:30 Greg Chappell at his finest - his record is somewhat spottily regarded, but he faced some very good bowlers from the West Indies, England, Pakistan and India during his career

@@chemistryset1 every player goes through a bad patch, thats just cricket. Forget about the underarm incident - that goes against his captaincy, not his batting.

Dennis Lillee here is 30 years old, yet looks as though he's a 46 year old middle-aged man!

This is with reference to the comment by Mr. Titus. Sometime in 2018-19, I was forwarded a Whatsapp message compilation of 10 world cricket fast bowlers who had never bowled a No Ball in their cricketing career. The list contained greats such as Kapil Dev from India, Ian Botham and Bob Willis from England, Joel Garner, Andy Roberts, Michael Holding and Bernard Julian (strange entry!!) from the West Indies, Richard Hadlee from New Zealand and then Dennis Lillee and Jeoff Thomson from Australia. At the number ranking 1 and 2 were listed Imran Khan and Sarfaraz Nawaz from Pakistan, respectively. But watching various old matches on this medium, I found that all the 10 greats listed had overstepped the line in quite some matches, which simply were called NO BALL!! I second the last line by Mr. Titus. Such disinformation is actually an insult to the great bowlers who served the game and entertained us during their careers. No Ball or No; they shall remain Great and a heritage to the World of Cricket and teachers to the youngsters all over cricketing world.

Lovely cricket

Vintage cricket.

Once upon a time westindes cricket team was strong sinces long they are in huge downfall

1970 to 1990 is the golden era in world cricket. Every cricket playing county produced genuine super star of international stature. Since 2000s the game of cricket started declining and now has become almost "free style wrestling" . Too much money, too much greed and no game or sport at all. No player looks super star or even cares to become one. Loads of money. Ounce of fun. The beauty of test cricket has gone. 50 over one day matches now a history. If you look 1970 to 1990 era cricketers, they look athletic. Nowadays "players" look like gamblers. No grace. No ethics. And worst of all no enthusiasm.

at 1.10 hours, Kallicharan was out there. These days it would go upstairs, and he'd be shown to be well out.

We are so spoilt with the quality of cricket footage these days.

Imagine how close some of these Batsman stants were back then.

World ever best bowling attack from WI those days. No match to other fast bowlers. Croft was even better than high rated Holding, Garner, Roberts and many more fast bowlers from WI

​@@keithbaldwin4329True, and Malcolm Marshall who joined the WI team a year later, went on to become the best fast bowler of the West Indies. I rate Lillee and Marshall to be the best fast bowlers of all time. They were equally good in my opinion.
