We loved and respected WI players a lot. What a team WI was. Missing that golden period of cricket.

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.

He was the dominant batsman of his era. Bowlers of all hues were treated impartially . No bowler in world cricket could boast of bowling fearlessly to him . Kapil Imran Hadley Botham Lilee Thomo Willis or whoever

My hero as a kid. Started watching cricket bcz of him! ❤ from India 🇮🇳

Viv Richards, the greatest cricketer of all time.

No comparison to great viv,he is fearless batsman,even 40 years before ,he played test match or one day match like 20.20.still no batsman in the world born like viv.

See the delight from Australian players after getting viv's wicket..it clearly showed how great impactful player viv was..

Unparalleled, Unmatched, Most Respected all times Sir I.V.A.Richard. I always watch his batting videos ❤

sir viv richard is the prince of cricket!

King Richard was a unique great batsman۔ Richard is the only one۔ Love u king since my childhood 1984۔

Viv was the best batsman I ever seen, he was the most consistent batsman the west Indies ever had.

I was at this match. Sat in the Pat Hills Stand and got baked all afternoon by the sun, then that glorious victory. We didn't have very many wins over the West Indies in those days.

No one can near Sir Viv. He is my ultimate never before never after.

King of cricket sir viv

If Viv was in this era he would have been the highest ever paid t20 player ....greatest attacking batsman of all time

Lyoyd wàs a beautiful player, very much under appreciated. In my opinion among he best of his age.

Power hitter sir, vv Richard sir

Vivian Richards never believed to create personal record. All of his best inning is an epic. Cricket will seldom see Richards, perhaps!!

So rare were our wins over the Windies in the 80’s, that I had this game on VHS and must have watched it 50 times.

Look at Sir Lloyd, his hooks and drives were lethal.

What a team of West Indies at that time unbelievable and unbeatable

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.

it was almost like viv Richards wanted to get out . At least 5 missed chances, all tough ones though. People loved to him bat, even if you are not West Indies, Lara , viv Richards are such timeless greats that you root for them to score in every match.

what a great batsman Vivian Richard

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.

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.

What a great player Richards was, the kind of strokes & class he demonstrated was simply outstanding. Perhaps the best in the business.

Listen live on radio those days and watched highlights days after on Tv.

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!

great match of great players of past

He defined aggressive batting

V Richards was a great player of world

marshall ..u beauty ... RIP

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?

13:11 MRF Bats in use, legends' Bats

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.

What a great memories of past real cricket.evry thing was great.that era wad golden age of cricket.can some one bring back that old real cricket.

Viv Richards, one man army

Loved how Benaud would add his French twist to Jeff Dujon. The silent J

My fvt bowler all the time was Joel garner

Sir Viv incredible cricketer

WI played harshly, i mean that shot from Desmond Haynes was silly. Gus Logie also perished with an Ariel shot. Richards also took way too many risks and finally got out. All WI had to do was take singles/doubles and the odd boundry would bring them near to their target without loosing too many wickets.

Back when 3's were considered normal

10.06 what a umpiring man...

Old is gold

Viv bowing to the crowd is pure class

😢 so good to watch an absolute classic

His name was ijeck vivian Alexander Richards and where there is a Alexander in the name inevitably there is victory glory and majesty he was the simply the best

Rod McCurdy the match winner. Picked up 3 important wickets. Shame we didn’t see more of him on the world stage.

What a match. Most entertaining.

The days before spinners were seen as important in one day cricket. Australia running the 4 quicks plus O’Donnell. Yet Dutchy Holland took them apart in the test played at Sydney that season

Used to have this on VHS back in the day..do you have the 2nd final where the Windies win with Haynes and Richards?

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 ...

@13.45 My brothers and I would always run up to the tv to try catch the ball first. Good times.

What a ball it was to Dujon and Richards by Craig McDermott the man who has 2 ten-fers and 14 five fers his inswing has a cunning spell, Aussies are the only side that West Indies were concerned about and for good reasons unlike Imran Khan and Kapil Dev, David Boon, Jeff Marsh, Allan Border they don't overhype their team in news media instead they likes to finish their rivals on the field, I would really like to see this West Indies side against Ponting and Waugh's 2003 side it would be a match of the century,

80s cricket is all about timing & guts

महान अभिवादन विवियन रिचर्ड्स👊

Richards 68 in 88 balls, with four lives, is forgettable.

Viv all time most destructive Batman.

Westindies is lion at 1980-83

sir viv and lloyd is the best players in world

That old era when after a catch frame freezes and scores are not flashing like s**t in the bottom middle of the screen but quietly at top right of the Screen Umpires actually paying attention to what's happening except Buckner ... What a golden age for cricket till 2003

Look at this Windies team, and the current one touring India. And we are celebrating how well our Batsmen are playing.

Back then when fielders didn't throw themselves at the ball instead chased it and batters were faster between the wickets than fielders....

Viv. was best. No batsman on earth could or can ever match his style, skills or temperament.

great memories... Thanks

To make a catch like this , you require none other than the great KAPIL

two best one day batsmen VIV RICHARDS and DESMOND HAYNES

Until you understand that viv richards would absolutley demolish good line and length.....then you realise how good he was......hiis centre of gravity and hawk eye alowed him to dominate with his crossbat technique.....explayers always said that when viv hit the ball,it sounded different....thanks for the memories viv.....your generation was the best....nothing compares......

great video, 6 Feb 1985.

If the 1985 Aus rebel tour to SA had never took place Hogg/Alderman/MCcurdy would have toured England and they would have probably won the Ashes.

beauty and legends of game...

What a delight to watch this match. I wish WI won it but it is worth seeing great like Haynes, Gomes, The big cat Lloyd and the imperial Richards. Just the arrogance and contempt on Richards face is worth watching.I just wish there is an Hd video of Marshall, Holdings at their best. If anybody has any suggestions, please do reply to my comment.

Sir viv Richard is a great bstsman without halmet facing very speedy fast bowler and hit braverly like a wasim akram sledges to sir viv in 1988 series in west indies

Sir richard is Don of cricket.

Sir Vivian Richards is a great player for the west indies

Kepler Wessel playing for Australia......He captained South Africa also.

Felling proud Indian cricketers ❤

Viv Regards without helmet against Australia😇

Golden period of cricket

From world greatest toworldbeater
