Super batting from botham

Kim Hughes' comments show him as a true gent.

Botham, Flintoff, Stokes in the same team would have been something.

Fred Trueman bowling big outswingers with no 3rd Man?? even schoolboys know thats essential - no surprise he went for 12 off first 3 balls

Some extremely dubious umpiring on show which just confirms what has been said by many who toured NZ during this time that the umpires weren't incompetent, they were just cheats. You can't condone some of the behaviour by the WI but you can certainly understand their frustration when you're playing against 13.

I've been there,from Australia. Hallow place.

That's a fierce mullet that Botham's got there.

I'm glad that Viv retired when he did ! You see so many people of sports carry on , well past their best , that at times they can be sad to watch ! I grew up watching Viv Richards , and feel very blessed to have watched him play at his brilliant best !

The best commentator of any sport ever.

He never bowled on the sub continent pitches ... Not so great

I love how his replies and stories have the undertone of the ebbs and flow of Cricket in general

Cricket sooo different today

Been 😁

No proven records against Viv Richard and west indies all time best bast man just against Australian only can't be appreciated because he has not faced Viv Richard fearsome batting

This game is very strange. for batter it is very dangerous very complex game

Swanton was apparently full of his own self importance

Beautiful and Accurate Bowling Brother Hadlee

I feel like I am with Richard Hadley sir

Sir post is given by English not blindly so Richard Hadley is all time best fast bowler

Ian Botam is a monkey as per Jef Boycott statements

Because of Australian just wanted to keep him under their control otherwise he would be more devastating bowler. He not number one fast bowler just like an idiot but very intelligent bowler I have seen ever before

Video quality is very poor because Australian never wanted New Zealand to over win Because Australian always kept New Zealand as their last or least youngest brother

May be Imran khan, Kapil Dev and Ian Botam equal grade but Sir Richard Hadley is more superior than anyone else simply I love ❤️ his bowling it's really very big

1:07:08 An out swinger! Here in Australia, I remember Lance Cairns being an inseing bowler but that delivery was an out swinger. Commentator describes it as, "...cutting away...". It definitely curved in the air though. Not easy, since Cairns' action was conducive to in swing. Only other bowler I know, who bowls chest on but can deliver a well directed out swinger, is Ben Stokes. Both Cairns & Stokes are South Island lads. Maybe it's something in the water... LOL!

Finest fast bowler ever

An all time great … but I still think Richard Hadlee was better than him

Greatest NZ cricket fast bowler to have the sport chur

RIP Rod Marsh, legend!

I had to laugh at Greg Chappell smacking the streaker! Forgot that Glynn Tucker called the cricket as well as the racing.

Awesome video, thank you for uploading.

I used to love watch Ian Botham from 1977 to 93....great memories!!

As a schoolboy I remember a Kent v Leics match at Mote Park, Maidstone in which, during the lunch interval, David Gower and a number of his Leics colleagues (Nick Cook, Brian Davison, Chris Balderstone) joined in our schoolboy cricket game on the outfield. His teammates challenged David Gower to bat using a cricket stump whilst we all took turns bowling at him (using a soft tennis ball), his teammates included. He middled everything. That's how good his eye was!

As an Australian I hated him because he was so good, what an action.

What a legend

Very Good Bowler I like bowling Action

Great man, so so brave and determined. Never bowed down to anyone, pure guts and grit.

I have been searching for this movie for ages as it has my granddad in it😊

Richie Benaud at his best.

Bob taylor said ,D.K was unbelievable he could bowl six different balls in an over to order

I was only going to sift through and just see what was on here, but i became so gripped and enthralled, i watched the entire video. Marvellous memories, especially those great games of the 80s when i was a child/teenager...and with 2 gentlemen of the calibre of Jim Swanton and Tim Rice, both hugely knowledgeable about the game, made it even more watchable. I wish it was 1991 again, when this video was made.

There was some good players in that side gower,gatts,the immaculate bob taylor who makes keeping look so easy

Yorkshire feels like a old school

To the people who love English cricket ❤️

Hadlee is the greatest swing bowler ever !

Thank you very much for posting this film, I've been looking for this for years, i first saw it on BBC2 here in the UK in the early 1980s when they did a New Zealand film season it's never been shown since and could not find it on VHS or DVD

Belongs to one of the cheating nation in world cricket.

Epitome of elegance

The irony of Lord Botham having a dig at the Welsh, right at the beginning, with his grandson now being a Welsh rugby international.

England means botham in cricket & my choice is gutsy shearer as well as beckham in football ⚽.

NO helmet!
