ENGLAND v WEST INDIES 4th TEST MATCH DAY 1 HEADINGLEY JULY 22 1976 ROY FREDERICKS GORDON GREENIDGE

[@Biscayroad1503]

Man, I forgot how hard these guys hit the ball......amazing batting

[@johncourtneidge]

Many thanks! Yes, heroic both sides. Richie Benauld's closing commentary spot on as always. What an odd sort of England side.

[@mlsarchitect]

Short lived, but greatest opening partnership in West Indies (and possibly) Test Match history: mature Roy Fredericks and young Gordon Greenidge. If only Roy wasn't satisfied with a quick 40 or 60 odd in his younger days....

[@yacsem]

He was pretty stodgy and far less flamboyant in his younger days. He was much better when he became more attacking.

[@roshanganesh5870]

Brilliant open partnership from Roy and greenidge

[@davescott4027]

Benaud was a great commentator, joining the likes of all the TMS gang over the years, Cricket is the only sport to attract such a collection of great commentators

[@HHM706]

Snow, Willis and Ward . A what might have been attack.😢

[@Biscayroad1503]

Does ANYONE have footage of Frederick’s 169 against Australia in the 1975-76 test series ..... if so , please post

[@biswapriyachakraborti8929]

No there is no footage

[@JP1234815]

Tom Spencer had a very unfortunate way of signalling a four!

[@escarmay1]

The WI at the height of their game just the beginning of world power

[@HHM706]

Bloody hell what a top 4 Greenidge Fredericks Richards Rowe😂

[@loneranger5954]

The West Indies eleven for this match is one of the strongest in the history of the game.

[@prantikmitra4085]

If you please upload ind vs eng 1971&1974 test series

[@HHM706]

Half volley reload!

If fate had only been a bit kinder to Alan ward then I reckon england would have had a decent fast bowling attack in the early 1970s john snow,bob Willis and Alan ward after watching this classic game of cricket. 24:34

[@nareshgb1]

Bob Willis with a very short run up....

[@whiteroserepublic1699]

England had some bloody good bowlers available for this series but the batting (especially with a peak Boycott, err, boycotting international cricket) was nowhere near good enough to compete with a brilliant, emerging West Indies.

[@odetteswann7694]

With modern coaching techniques, I'd have loved to have seen how Alan Ward would have developed...

"hat-trick" in cricket , as rare as a 9 darter in darts
