Bring back Dennis

RIP Russ😢

Unbelievable that Dennis Commeti was commentating back then.

terry jenner looks like another jim higgs cant bat bowl or field

What is it that has made Perth perform so poorly in the ensuing years? This side here was as good as anything going in Australia. What happened?

Imagine a middle order of ... 4. Pieterson 5. Stokes 6. Botham. 7. Flintoff

Fantastic hitting back then, ho hum now.

Zaheer Abbas exceptional 👏👏

I don't support ether team but this is fantastic football to watch.

Lathlain Park is 165 metres from goal to goal, which means from the distance from the centre to the goals is 82.5 metres. Cody kicked the ball when he was level with the rear of the centre circle, which meant he was 84 metres from goal. The ball landed just outs the goal square making the distance of the kick approximately 74 metres. If it was a 90 metre "bomb", the ball would have needed to clear the fence and land behind the seats. The longest kick I have seen at Lathlain is by Graham Ramshaw in 1962, when he was playing for the then Perth Thirds. Graham took a mark just short of centre and was right on the centre spot when he went back for his kick. Graham took 5 paces for his drop kick and the ball went through the goal uprights landing on the rear seats. The estimated distance was 90 yards or 82 metres. In July 1968, the Melbourne Sporting Globe reported that Graham won an Australian kicking competition with an 88 yard (80 metres) drop kick

A truly great, charismatic sportsman.

Sir ian botham was the second most successful alrounder after the great andrew flintoff of england.

During that period bowling speed was measured from the point of time the ball left the bowlers fingers up to the point it reached the stumps on the batting end by way of rate of frames per second nowadays the bowling speed is measured just as the ball leaves the bowlers fingers disregarding atmospheric, aerodynamic conditions and slowing down of the ball once it bounces off the pitch.Thats the reason run off the mill bowlers of today clock upwards of 142 kmph 😅No one can convince me that a modern day 145 kmph bowler of today was faster than Holding leave alone Thomson!And Imran's action had not completely evolved and he was at least a yard quicker 1981 onwards up to the beginning of 1983 when he fractured his left ankle/shin!He came back with a bang but according to my assessment was never as quick as he was during that period!

Ah the good old days of proper one dayers, when everyone had a good team. I dont know how many times it used to go down to the last over or the last ball. Brilliant stuff. Obviously i dont bother watching today, not even close for excitement and entertainment.

Great find. I was there, in the old Olympic Stand. Seems so ‘old-fashioned’ and staid now. Ian Redpath seems to be the only fieldsperson. And so many no longer with us: Frank Tyson, Froggy Thomson, Max Walker, Rodney Marsh, Ashley Mallett … probably others too.

Good enough to be Australian. 😉

My dad was more than football best dad ever

Magnificent batting masterclass from Beefy. I dare say that there was some smoke coming out of that Duncan Fearnley when the innings finished. Fantastic shirts too.

Great game.

Beefy..!!!!

I was there and it was WET.

Peel thunder win the WAFL Grand final against West Perth 55-57

The mid 80's Gunn & Moore was the best looking bat of all time

Good old days. The icons of the cricket who built foundation for modern game. Lol.❤

Basit ali was great betsman love too watch inzmam always play poor cricket against Shan worn magrath

Imagine if t20 was invented then how crazy would imran khan ,botham,hadlee,border the classic wendies player would have been and the commercial value this big players would have brought like miadad,asif iqbal,kapil dev,gavasker etc

Peter Sartori was a good player for us at Carlton. 🙂

How Many of these Player went on to Play VFL Afl Football

I would like to thank North Melbourne for recruiting the krakouer brothers in 1982. Regards swan supporter.

That's Imran Khan's old bowling style 😎

Absolute legend TI 🙏

Poor Greg Blewett. I remember him saying to Lara in commentary that he always got these unplayable deliveries and strange dismissals all the time playing against Pakistan. I also remember an impossible inswinging full toss he got from Waqar in a test match in oz.

John Todd thought this team was his best, but couldn't get it done on the big day.

Don Holmes , was a Dead eye 👁 Brilliant goal sneak , Cannot Believe Toddy Gone , still this Is Just short on 40 Years ago , time Flies , I am 62 Years old now , 22 at the Times , and I was there this was the Best win , lost the 2nd Semi , won the 3 rd Semi and the Grand Final , My Big Bro and myself were at the 3 Games , up the Mighty Swans RIP TODDY

RIP Legand

Rip John Herbert Todd, you will be missed

Basso hearts broke this morning

Bona fide legend. Undeniably great. And this is from a Claremont supporter who watched his team get beaten in Grand Finals by Todd coached sides three times. Genuinely saddened to hear of his passing. Vale.

Thanks Toddy we will miss you

Great man

RIP John Todd

Botham Kapil dev and Imran Khan were perfect defination of allrounders

Greatest English allrounder the world will ever see

What a Year , I went to the state orgin It was amazing , I was at the 2nd Semi , And Grand Final for the mighty Swans Win the Grand Final , while watching I Saw big Garry Sidebotton , felt sad 😔 RIP big Garry

Good ole Marlboro, packs for the boys at half time 😂 SM is GOAT

Any team with Moss,Micheals,Wiley ,Fong and Peake in it is gonna be hard to beat.

RIP Tim Flynn who died in 2002.
