Nice one DM 34 years ago today.

Great test match ...🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🏆🏆🏆🏅🏅🏅

Sir Geoffrey Boycott wisest man in cricket and the best pundit. Unique human being. Love him

My favourite imran

best action and run up, my favorite along with 74/75 Thommo.

Thank-you! I wonder how tgese WestIndians would have fared on that pitch against Deadly?

Super match 👌👌👌

Thank you so so much for this DM Mordecai

I think Metson did a great stumping in that game.

Good game from both team

Can you imagine if the commentators were American? The other commentators like Graveney, Parfitt and co would constantly trot out the only inciteful comments their American counterparts can muster "are you kidding me?" And thats the most exquisite cover drive, 4 more to Botham. Are you kidding me. Etc.

The drinks wallahs. I don't know why I found that so funny.

Hello Darren Wonderful Classic Cricket This Week Top Notch Footage.Much Appreciated Have a Fabulous Week Ahead . WAYNE

Desmond+Gordon

I had the Daily Mirror from the day after this for years. The headline on the back page was "Thanks Allot" (sic)

Any upload that has Richie Benaud using the word "scungy" is an instant classic.

A Guyanese legend!

Rahul Dravid has been stereotyped as a defensive batter so much that it is easy to forget he had a wide array of shots. His on driving was especially delectable. Not to mention to mention his pull shots against quick bowlers…one of the reasons why he was so successful outside the subcontinent.

Great upload.

Total BS. The drugs he took he needed. The sleeping pills and uppers the army gave him so he could sleep and then react when needed. That was a problem his whole life. Along with glaucoma and heart decease, and latter on fluid retention, Elvis had health problems that needed drugs. I've been taking more drugs per day than Elvis ever did. I take them for glaucoma, heart, blood pressure, asthma and arthritis. It would be total unbearable to live without them or even live. I get sick of the people that want to be hero's.

Pakistan cricket and its obsession with run outs

Malcolm Marshall had fast bowling to a science thoughtful thinking and was loved by all his peers Vivian Richard and Clive Lloyd in particular

I watch again this match since I am not well today. Tears came to my eyes as a srilankan.when aravinda hit his 100 ,how Arjuna hug aravinda is a maximum spirit of arjuna .love you pakistan .come up by set a siding conspiracies other nation doing for your country .love you again .

Didn’t know these two played together and came face to face.

Botham, Defreitas, Lewis, Reeve, Pringle, Hick A LOT of allrounders in that team. Hick ended up the bowling the most overs of any England player on that tour. Mostly due to a mammoth 69 overs in the 3rd test at the Basin reserve which just preceded this game. Hick had also been England's leading test wicket taker (and England's leading run scorer) in India the same year when England were thrashed in the test matches over there. Illingworth and Small as well as specialist bowlers. That's a LOT of bowling options Reeve running up like Pingu looking for his fishing hole

Great commentary snd summarising. Yes, Smith, but it was Jack Russell who made the come-back possible. It could have been much, much different!

Knowing what we know now about Colonel "Parker" really find it hard to believe that he was planning a "world" tour for Elvis the following year...

Another great upload Darren. Thanks for this, it must be a pain with all the editing for copyright but you do a fantastic job.

Lovely camera work.even better than Channel 9. Martin Crowe - simply the best..

Ian Botham was at the fag end of his career and his pace had dropped off to such an extent that Jack Russel, the wicket keeper ,was standing up to him.

You have some truly great content. It's a shame you had to take down your 1982/83 B&H WSC highlights. The only decent coverage there is of Glenn Turner. Hope you repost one day

Mike gatting. Mwybe not the best vricketer.,but tinget tye win??,

Always been pissed no-one gave the odds in the papers orid have had money. 😊

That LBW at 8:00 was pitched in line, hit the pads in line - and was hitting middle stump halfway up. If you don't give those - you are never going to give anything

Ray Illingworth. Decided that the most talented players who needed actual MANGEMENT should be out of the team, replaced by lesser players who just did as they were told. His appointment marked the swansong for Ramprakash, Hick, Lewis, Smith, Tufnell and others. Replaced by players no-one remembers in a never ending rolling door of mediocrity A period where 3 or 4 changes were made between tests routinely. By 1996 England were swapping and changing so regularly that England had used almost 40 players in tests in 24 months. Players coming in. Playing 2 or 3 tests, then being ditched for someone else who had a similarly short time to acclimatise. Only Atherton and Stewart remained relatively regular, and even Stewart was chopped in and out of the keeping role. Illingworth, despite being a good leader (possibly a great one) on the field - was a damn awful leader at this level.

Plastick😂

Please upload 2002 English Summer highlights ✌✌👍🙏🙏.

The 40th anniversary of the greatest sustained batting display that I was a (distant) witness to! A peerless double century for Greenidge and all in less than a day! The best day’s entertainment in a remarkable series 🏏

I was an England net bowler at this Test Match, I remember knocking Tim Curtis’s off pole out of the ground in the nets. I thought to myself, good luck against Malcolm Marshall 😂

At this point, England had every reason to think they could not lose. They wanted to bat on in better light for a brief time on the last morning and then go for those 10 wickets.

Viv Richards was playing t20s in this match

Thank-you! Masterful Gooch!

A beatifully-matched pair of sides! Thank-you!

I think Wallace thought he got his front foot outside the line. Instead he had planted it right in front of middle stump.

My favourite player played game with so much fun and humour

Great upload....can we have the 2000 series between these two sides?

And then tomorrow happened ...

Darren bru please upload highlights of the games played in the 2007 World Cup

I love everything about this video, from the VHS timestamps to David Gower sat in an armchair next to a glass of sherry/port and the Foster's advertising hoardings
