1988 Australia v New Zealand One Day Cricket Thriller

Day-night nail-biter at the 'G from Jan 7 1988. Waugh and Jones steady the ship after a calamitous collapse, scoring 88 from 113 in blistering 40 degree heat. Aussies home by 6 runs in front of 61,316.

Wow....what an atmosphere....not like that these days.

[@ajs41]

Why isn't the atmosphere like that now? I've never been to a cricket match in Australia, only England.

Have you seen india? 😂

These days they only serve lite beer, there's about 45 cops for every spectator, you're pounced on in seconds if you commit the sin of wrong think and you must celebrate diversity and degeneracy at the expense of thousands of years of your own history and culture. Howzat!??

[@oinkooink]

Oh I forgot to mention...you probably have to be boosted to the eyeballs with corporate "vaccine" juice and provide a stool sample on demand to anyone at the ground with a clipboard or high viz vest. Howizzyyyyyyyyy!???

@@ajs41 ODIs we’re a day out. MCG with 60,000+…Max Walker and Doug Walters in the box. Waugh and Jones on fire. Big ground. Shirts off in Bay 13 and the cheer for boundaries and FOW was deafening. When bats didn’t as easily smash the cover off the ball, no boundary ropes. Easily a more exciting event. Brings back very good memories.

[@ass09tube]

MCG atmosphere at its best. Boundaries were not altered. Running between wickets mattered.

[@jasonford99]

Couldn't agree more. Run outs have disappeared nowadays...game the poorer.

Another brilliant upload keep it up

Hadlee was the only player who had the stripes around the sleeves back in the era of that particular WSC uniform. Never seen it til now. Wonder why that was? Anyone who wore long sleeves in that era didn’t have those sleeve stripes. Only Hadlee.

If John Wright hadn't got himself ridiculously run out , New Zealand would have pissed in.

[@thewelcometodark]

2k cricketer: why 80s boundries are so long and there was no powerplay or something? 90s cricketer: son! It's your grandpa playing...

[@scarimorales2222]

[@zenvagabond]

A great game and Australian summer, characterized by all those shirtless yobbos......

[@oinkooink]

Steve Waugh the grinch. I'm not risking my average for you, the team or anyone. Got that? Now shut up and praise me. I'm Steve Waugh the GRINCH.
