4:02 Greig lifting Lillee over slips…ahead of his time

Alan Knott was arguably one of the greatest keeper of all times.Also a very good batsman. A true legend.

I always went for the Olympic breakfast 😋

What a bowling action and with the back foot dragging Fred seemed to slide through the crease in perpetual motion. Unique.

No dna test needed

My first day watching Test cricket at the ground was that Saturday at the Gabba. Thommo and Lillee blasting away, Tangles and Gilmore backing up, all against the reigning World No 1. Great way to start.

Bite Bite Sr

Extraordinary to see so many big name players in a non international match, you would never see anything like that today, they would consider it to be like a multi millionaire riding the bus

And then the UK gave up....

ENGLISH COACH SEEMS TO THINK HIS TEAM DESERVE BETTER. gave no credit to our girls... england deserve better?...yeah WIN !!!!

Of course Aussies NEVER prepare wickets for themselves do they ! bloody hipocrits.

Those senior Mediterranean women are proper rascals. RIP Olivio.

History will mark this black day of Umpiring. There was absolute no standing for the decision by umpire other than trying to create new rules of the game just to make himself feel right.

Botham stuck to fingers at Miandad, this is exactly why it was a great pleasure when Waqar Younis ended Botham’s test match career later in the summer.

This wales are Australian theres no europe

Pakistan biggest crime was they won World Cup 1992 beating England in the final at Melbourne. I still recall the whole English media, press and members of England cricket teams namely Ian Botham, Allan Lamb and Robin Smith were all against Pakistan even before a ball was bowled in both the ODI and Test series.

This was quite common back then, Pakistani tailenders would get bouncer barrages, and then umpire would step in when Pakistan did it back. Hence Miandad would get his bowlers to not stop doing it. Happened in New Zealand too.

Alan Knott: what a player!

Strong.

Bring back the 80s

The most successful Batsman for World XI in that Tour was : Mat I NO Runs HS Ave 100 50 Ct St Zaheer Abbas 11 19 0 709 112 37.31 2 5 5 -

59 (14.1 overs) Zaheer Abbas 14 CH Lloyd 14 DK Lillee 8/29 (7.1 overs)

Haha those were different times when people had time for a steak on their journey.

Before MrBeast, we only have this.

The back foot no-ball rule helped him, as he was able to drag and then release the ball feet further up the pitch than is allowed these days with the front foot trule.

I well remember his 300th wicket. In the days when the BBC was interested in cricket as used to watch it on telly whilst my Dad was having his lunch break as a Postman. The only time the TV was on during the day in our house.

People will Say "It's not a Snatch", We say "who's care?"

That was a fine array of batsmen he was dismissing as well in those two performances.

Typical red neck empire and fu..kn commentators

I wish I could live in an England where wearing a tie and jacket was an everyday occurrence.

1970s was my favorite decade for cricket ,had many great players and played with lot of passion

'I'd pick Geoff Boycott to open, play 3, 4 , 5 and 6'

I was 12 years old when I first watched the TV coverage on the BBC as Geoff Boycott reached his 100th hundred. Boycs was my batting idol. The best self made opening batsman in cricket's history.

We only miss the best juantorena the horse,the best forever

Whoah! She’s really hot - bet he’s a happy husband! You can tell that by the way he says “chop!”

Jeff Thompson said he studied his bowling action.

Catching Sardesai off of Underwood at the Oval (7:05) has to be the greatest catch ever seen on TV. Absolutely unique. The mark of a true genius. What wonderful memories.

Wilf Paish, her coach, was not part of the UK Olympic officials group, and did not have a pss to go in the arena, He borrowed a pass from another coach. I know because Wilf was a friend mine and in the same class at college in the 1950s

Imagine these batsmen with the modern Bat

A fete that was equaled by Kumble .

"English" team? Are we talking about the MCC team that plays in Test matches and has included players from Scotland, Wales, and Ireland?

Today andie 66 years

Happy birthday andie from italian boy live in rome

Great privilege to be a Kent member from 1979 to 82 and saw the great man for those years with Alan knott behind the stumps. He was a genius, middle pace and could turn the ball a yard, an extraordinary talent.

The ball that clean bowled GR Vishwanath at Delhi was superb , it just licked top of the off stump. 1972 series against India , England won the first test at Delhi .

Talk of colonial mindset
