Why is there no film of Jimmy Greaves at Chelsea. As a Fulham FC supporter I would go to Chelsea every other week, and the greatest player I have ever seen was Greave’s , and that includes our own Johnny Haynes. Jimmy scored wonder goals at Chelsea, I do think he was better at Chelsea than he was at Spurs, for one he was faster at Chelsea.

I recall Ian Chappell saying this test match was the most boring cricket match he had ever played in, which was the catalyst for his decision to step down as captain.

I watched live telecasts. Memorable one 1 st ever test match of Srilanka.

Is this the test say that the Aussies never speak about as they had other things on their mind like will Sage crickets play rounds the coast so nobody attended this and nobody attended nobody and nobody wanted to play

France please

Greig smashes Thommo through extra cover, and Benaud, measured as always, remarks on a ‘very firmly hit stroke’. Wonderful stuff, great to see Edrich putting one of his big innings together.

The match when the cricket establishment realized that the battle with WSC was lost. Nobody watching, no excitement, the Australian team bereft of star players & uncompetitive against a professional, but hardly stellar, England side playing steady, plodding cricket. The WSC Supertest final, played on the same ground a week earlier, attracted a much bigger crowd for its day/night match.

Damn, Brearley was just an awful batsman to watch, no shots, no authority in his strokeplay, just lunging forward with a big stride & dropping the bat on the ball.

My god what a dreadful series that turned out to be. 30 players used I think by England. It was a 6 Test series though. We’d won the 3 match Texaco ODIs leading up. And Border’s tourists were dismissed before a ball was bowled. Welcome to England Steve Waugh!

Some clubs sell there best players.to Real.Madrid why I dont know Real Madrid are just the some use any other team Football hard to understand UEFA president get me to understand the way the game works

Botham's golden arm again. Filthy long hop... one of the world's greatest batting... somehow gets out!

What a jerk.. this snow leopard!

The great George Grljusich commentating. Listening to him, I can close my eyes and I'm back at the WACA in December 1974

Our most stylish batsman ever imo

The fielder was lucky he didn't impale himself on the railings at 3.25.

Bob Taylor with hat always reminded me of Bubi Bear of Hair Bear Bunch fame.

Bob Taylor was the best gloveman in England at the time but lived north of Watford gap Knott was a fine wicketkeeper/ batsman who i have to say did deserve his place in the England team

Lillee's run up and delivery is poetry in motion.

One of the slowest West Indies bowling attack in years

What made this a classic, apart from the atmosphere, was the characters throughout both teams. Derek Randall played like one of us, as did Botham. Gower, Gooch, Brearley and Boycott. I loved Alvin Kalicharran, but the others were sheer quality too. Those were the days! I was 14.

They weren't great batters

Sir Geoffrey getting hit on the jaw by Dennis Lillee. Did he give up and throw his wicket away. No he carried on batting. Carried on scoring runs. What a great player.

bob willis was a beast of a bowler..

A misleading clickbait thumbnail showing Jenner being hit on the head. That was the 7th test, not the 4th test,

Watching this, you can see, clearly, that Brian Luckhurst wasn't getting in line against Thompson in particular. This tour ended a number of England careers. The shell shocked Brian Luckhurst included!

Magnificent ❤

What a man. My hero in the 60's. God bless you.

David Gower always looked like he was going to fall asleep after this over.

I was at this game but I remembered it as being a year or two after 67. So many legendary names on both sides. The crowd was about 95,000 - for a friendly. We were actually quite disappointed with a draw. In those days we expected to beat even the top English teams.

Always seemed to be one batsman who was heavily criticised by ex players over the years

Botham's a bit leaner there 😂

Hampshire couldn't catch the clap in a brothel.

I joined the Army in 1978. Sent to Londonderry (by post in a 2nd class delivery!) in 1979. Missed all this. Some details over the operational net from the Ops Room. Thanks to WO2 Bronco Lane. They don’t make WO2s like that anymore.

Great days. The year of Botham's arrival!

Glad that I was present at the ground now turned 97 age. what a match it was.

England won the series 5 - 1 without playing particularly well.

With modern bats people like Sir Donald, Jack Hobbs George Headley and a whole host of others would have had even better records. How many of these shots shown here would have gone for 4 or 6 with modern equipment.

shows how stupid the west indian later order batters were from murray downwards - all they had to do was a single to get viv back on strike. but brearley's catch ala kapil (83) - or was it the orther way around. and viv's catch off botham - insane - only he couldve done that

Someone said "poetry in motion". Well, it's a gross understatement

This video is like gold. Geoff Arnold was very unlikely with those back to back dropped catches. He was magnificent. Dennis Lillee was really menacing. That was a harbinger of great future success.

Must say never heard if Craig Saergeant what happened to his career?

England batted too long declared too late, but called game off 30 mins from stumps? Hardly a winning approach

So day 1 was 85 overs bow I ed, question is were they 8 ball overs ? 680 balls, equivalent to 113 6 ball overs?

STEELE looked like a decent bat, wonder if he had p l ayed in an era with helmets, how good he may have been,looked relaxed and confide n t

Are you any relation to Aaron from Torfaen

Top top player I remember well, NFFC

Miandad would have used his bat to push Snow away

Was a great match. Richards & Clive Lloyd led the batting revival. Those were the days when the West Indies had without doubt the most effective speed bowling attack. Holding was such an athletic, rhythmic, fast bowler, Andy Roberts more precise & fast, Joel Garner quick with unusual action able to deceive the batsman in anticipating the delivery type because of his height. Formidable fast bowlers. Dominated both Test matches & one- day matches during that epoch.
