I was fortunate to watch the West Indies pace battery in the 1970s at different grounds in England during the first World Cup in 1975. There was little to choose between the WI pacers and they were all threatening. Malcolm Marshall was undoubtedly the most successful while Michael Holding's run-up was the stuff of dreams. Speed-wise I don't think the opposing batsmen had any preference between Roberts, Holding, Garner and Marshall.

Young men back then,played the game for fun and because we liked it.Some went on to make it their careers and represented country and/or english county or league and of course,the West Indies.

The Golden Era of West Indies Cricket. Undisputed Calypso Kings . Surprisingly the whole team was filled with stars ..led by the Super Big Cat Sir. Clive Lloyd Himself.. what a team what a brand of cricket they offered to every cricket lovers delight..😏 🇮🇳

Great to see this, loved the Aussie TV highlights. But for me it was my hero Malcom Marshall , loved the guy & a pleasure that I spent time with him on many occasions

Those were the great days when West Indian players actually played with pride, passion, aggression, skill, and wanting to actually the matches.

may be in the history of cricket many batsman's will make their name but all will surely have respect for that generation of W indies fast bowlers. Richie Benaud I miss your voice....

I remember the intro theme to 9 sports. You heard that you knew cricket was on. Such an incredible West Indian team in those days. All around cricket had class back then. The rivalries between countries. Being a teenager in Barbados during that time we hated Australia😊. Looking back all such great teams. Cricket sweet cricket. Thanks for posting the video.

Thaaaaat field to Holding's bowling!!??!! Looooool. Greenidge is at short leg, having to cover that whole space behind him!!! That is confidence. I like the fighting response from the Aussies in this 2nd innings....77 for 1....

Did you watch the match? Aus were bowled out for 76 and the windies got 400+. That's a flogging.

Very nostalgic, I am brought to tears when I see these clips... For many reasons such as my father was an avid cricket fan who died three years ago and for how the West Indies team is performing now.

Refreshing to see no sponsor logos on the field, the players or the stumps. No numbers on players shirts. No flashing bails. Players getting on with it...18 overs an hour. Just good old fashioned quality cricket from a bunch of legends. Oh take me back...

A cricket team is supposed to have just 3 or 4 match winners but back then that particular west Indies team had holding, Richards, Grenige, Marshal, Garner, Clive Loyd and a couple of others...
