Was at this game. Like Richie, I enjoyed young Gough's approach to the game.

Series was over after the first ball.........

[@danielbrowne9089]

The grounds were so much better in those days, real character as opposed to the homogenised grounds that all look the same now 😢

[@mrkipling2201]

You aren’t going to win any test match by making 167 after the other team makes 426 in their first innings. Typical of England against Australia in the 90’s. We would only find the fight or the form once the game or series was lost.

Tufnell should have played for England a lot more than he actually did.

[@valueinvestor77]

He was an absolute liability in the field though. Possibly the worst fielder that I can think of after having watched cricket for the last 35 years.

Yikes, M.Waugh's reverse sweep was a shocker LOL

[@danielbrowne9089]

The ball was rubbish, painfully slow and no turn

Would have been better playing Craig White instead of McCague

[@davidkemball-cook559]

Does anyone know why Robin Smith was not on this tour?

[@TheCory42]

Couldn't play Warne apparently. I was always baffled by his non selection too.

[@Prodigy_Fan]

Smith was very very poor in the '93 Ashes particularly against Warne and May, that's why England left him at home. He was great against pace, not so much against quality spin.

[@davidkemball-cook559]

@@Prodigy_Fan Thanks. That makes sense.

[@danielbrowne9089]

Our bowling was cannon fodder apart from Gough

[@AlunThomas-mp5qo]

Illingworth left Angus Fraser out of the touring party (allegedly because he had an ordinary series against New Zealand) but then had to call him after a few bowlers were injured. Guess what? The bowling standard improved a lot after his arrival.

[@prabhakarchitturi-cx9ed]

No doubt Warne was great bowler but England and South Africa were very poor at spin, particularly at Shame warne, they were afraid to face him, so many times they will be beaten by normal deliveries

[@danielbrowne9089]

What the fuck was Gatting doing on this tour

[@robertmann4588]

Scored a ton.

[@Prodigy_Fan]

He as illingworth's pick because he believed he was the best English player of spin but had a poor series and averaged only 22 in the Tests. No wonder he retired from international cricket at the end of it.

I was enjoying this til I saw who the umpire was. creepy old bastard.
