[@amudhank1]

Cheeka.. My dad used to say the same thing like you. I lost my dad when I was studying 11th std. He says to me, like Enna da modern cricket.. Ne porakarthukku munnadi west indies maari oru team un life la pakkave mudiyathu nu solluvaru.. Greenidge, Roberts, Clive Lyod, Vivi, Walsh, Marshal, Holding.. ithellam kekkum bothey udambu la silurthu pogum!!! Then I started watching the old videos of these legends. While hearing this, i had many questions on myself.. why I was not born in 1970s to 1980s.. I am playing cricket from 10th std. Enna thaan modern cricket vanthalum, antha mari cricket 80s 90s period mari varavey varathu cheeka.I will show this video to my kid for future too.

[@muhammedsibi2744]

Thank You Sir..Didn't even skip a second. You took us into those golden days of my all time favorite team.. Still remember seen a few matches where Malcolm Marshal & Holding terrorised opposition..New generation would never able to understand the beauty of Gavaskar who faced these fearsome 4 and got his double hundreds.. As cheeka said, it's either injury or broken bones..The beauty of test cricket at its best. They may not be rich.. But they lived in our minds.. The fiersome 4!!

Cheeka, your team's win in 1983 was truly epochal. For a nation used to having been looked down upon for centuries, humiliated so much that diffidence & lack of confidence became DNA-like, that win sent a huge message to us all You guys are the true champions Unalloyed entertainment, pure fun - rare things in life🙏

[@___-cx6bw]

I remember Marshall had literally terrorised the entire India battling line up in the 84 series. Imagine what he could do on lively pitches when he wrecked havoc on dead pitches of India His early demise is deeply felt by all who loved to watch fast bowling 🙏What a legend!

[@balakrishnan_2308]

Cheeka sir the same typical west indian fast bowling blood is present in jofra archer now a days.....he is so impressive

[@bkmurthy81]

Thanks a billion cheeky for allowing me to refresh my childhood memories of late 80s. Yeah, definitely those 7 years from 1984 to 1991 are the most valuable and unforgettable moments of my life. I bow down my head to the team lead by Kapil paaji for both making us happy and proud of being Indians for winning the 1983 world Cup. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Fearsome four the best and the most intimidating pace attack ever ....one among many reasons why cheeka Sir is a legend...he faced them without wearing helmet... cricket has changed and its purely a batsman game now...they should bring back bouncy tracks and allow 2 bouncers per over in all format to make the game evenly poised...

Michael Holding - nick named 'Whispering Death'. Name given by the greatest umpire of all time Dickey Bird.

[@mustafanizam2608]

Michael Holding is simply the best among the four, without taking away the credit from the others. Srekanth's commentary is indeed commendable though a bit exxagerated. But thourogly entertaining... hats off to you Krissh..

[@leemafashion6628]

It was marshall best among four.Most will agree,Holding had airspeed but marshall had the best ability to move ball in all pitches defying geometry.

[@padamcaco]

Best video in this series. I can sense the excitement of Cheeka. I used to try to mimic Marshall then. He had the unique action to come from the side. This should be sent to WCB (West Indies Cricket Board) and to current trending WI players. This is the best tribute I have seen to WI cricket and fast bowlers. And they totally deserve it. This deserves to go viral

The WI quartert of fast bowlers of 80s were famously known as fearsome foursome. They were a real terror.

[@juancarlosvaleron4850]

My dad used to describe West Indian team the same way you have described here. Absolutely no difference. I think one person you probably missed out was I think one generation before was Wes Hall (he was a master at terrorizing batsmen) as well. The main difference between West Indies and other bowling - was no sledging and absolute gentlemanly way of playing and letting skill do all the talk - I have nothing but respect!

[@jeevanreigns9955]

My grandpa also used to talk just like Cheeka sir. Even he used to talk about these fast bowlers. Sad to see west Indian cricket in the current state.

Exactly I agree with you Cheeka sir, I too like the WI brand of cricket and I am greatest fan of WI cricket. The only time I wished them to lose a match was 1983 Prudential WC final. 70-80s is really a golden generation in cricket great batsmen and equally talented bowlers. I feel I am blessed to have watched those matches. A great fan of you Cheeka sir.

That was the most daring and most stylish shot of the entire tournament 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@kartir7439]

Cricket talk is never complete without fearsome four. Thanks Cheeka Sir for bringing out your experience. I saw how you played Joe Garner jumping during World cup 83 final ...Now we don't get such superb fast bowlers who bowl short of good length with pace. I wonder how modern batsmen do front leg press before ball is delivered. It not possible to play WI bowler in front foot.

Amazing narration Cheeka sir. I had been in awe and a great fan of the WI brand of cricket and I have always loved your way of attacking the bowlers with your standing style. I remember watching you score against fast bowlers, the first to reach 4000 one day runs and hitting Marshall for six in the 83 world cup. I remember Viv Richards had told in an interview that Cheeka can break my one day score.... Looking forward for more such experience sharing ...

Bouncer has to be either Roberts as he had two or garner as like cheeka explained due to the point of release being 12 to 13 feet from just of length he could get the ball to come up at the face which no batsman could anticipate correctly and he could move the ball too which meant the bouncer followed the batsman making it very difficult to play or avoid, to top it imagine that being bowled from around the wicket. Imo Garner

Very good episode. Can't stop laughing. I am also one of the luckiest person to have enjoyed watching the best ever cricket team in the history. It was a complete team. All are specialists in their respective roles. Four fearsome bowlers (Marshall, Robert s, Holding & Garner), specialist openers (Greenidge & Haynes), middle order batsmen (Loyd, Richards & Logie), Wicket keeper (Dujon) & Larry Homes. And Clive Loyd's famous quote....We win by miles or lose by miles.

Ya! I watched in Jan 1975, the Legend Sir Andy Roberts in action at Chepauk ground in person. Admiring, Cool but Menacing, gentle action... The cartwheeling of Karshan Ghavri's stemps to Derrick Murray, the Wicket keeper, still in my eyes. Unforgettable experience of Cricket, the guts, skill and determination of Legend Gundappa Vishwanath scoring unbeaten 97 against the super fast legend's onslaught (seven wickets), the ball was almost invisible. In fact, I was a bit disappointed and tired as I was unable to see the ball. Then guessed it with batsmen's reactions ( mostly miserable). One thing Cheeka they were true cricketers had guts to play WITHOUT HELMET OR HEADGEAR against the jaws of death. Above all NO BIG MONEY. Thanks a lot for your rewind of smart memories. 👌👍👏😊🙏
