M01 Pakistan vs West Indies 1988

[@benelliott6133]

I remember watching this live on TV as a 10-year old. There was nothing more thrilling for a cricket-mad kid in Australia than watching the opening World Series Cup game of the new season. Two new touring teams, the classic Channel 9 commentary (always made better when Tony Cosier was part of the team when the Windies were visiting), it was the best. Wouldn’t trade it for anything!

In WI first innings the third best scorer was EXTRAs. Extras scored more than Viv Richards in this match and a whopping 10% of the final score. 😊😊😊

And again in many many many highlights of match of late 80s and early 90s Rameez Raja is a one selfish batsmen , scored 69 runs in 21 overs, thanks mate.

[@davidlewis2464]

I remember a match where Ravi Shastri scored 33 off 110. That’s slow for tests 😂

[@Teja_Main_Hoon_Mark_Idhar_Hai]

The first 4 came in 4th over. After Jayasuriya blaze of 1995-1996 all teams now score a boundary at least by 2nd over if first over was not possible. 😊😊😊

Size of Boundaries ! Real cricket back then. Now it’s all circus. 😂 Winston Benjamin’s son Rai Benjamin won silver medal in 2021 Olympics 400 m hurdles. He is defending his titles at Paris Olympics. What a catch by Javed Bhai. A player who can field anywhere. He even kept wickets. Now we have players who can’t field anywhere else in the field.

[@Teja_Main_Hoon_Mark_Idhar_Hai]

There was an era of MALCOLM MARSHALL. Audience feared so were the players. But that GreatBatch Straight SIX in 1992 WC, ended his career. . He was himself in shock at that. He never dreamt of something like that. 😮😮😮

[@syedadeelhussain2691]

Pakistan always struggled to play on Aussie wickets during those days. Windies dominated the world of cricket up to 1988 even after the superannuation of their top three fast bowlers. They had the best opening stand in the world! Greenidge and Haynes were enough to knock out teams. Most surprising was the change in IK's bowling action and speed. He had really slowed down. I guess Imran became a better batsman than he was a bowler from this series onwards until he reached his retirement, which was announced after the 1992 WC Win! Even Javed was not at his best in the B&H series in 1988, however, he really played well against the Windies in the Caribbean. Don't remember if that series took place before this tournament or afterwards? Javed scored back-to-back 100s. Also, Javed's tour of English in 1987 was remarkable with many hundreds scored, especially 260 at OVAL.

[@farazzubair4935]

This was Dec 1988. I remember it clearly. That was after the March- April 1988 WI series and the 1988 Aus- Pak series in Pakistan where Imran did not play and Javed captained. This Benson & Hedges was followed by the 1989 New Zealand series where Miandad was at the top of his game scoring 389 runs in just two innings.

[@syedadeelhussain2691]

@@farazzubair4935 Yes, thank you! I remember the series played against the Kiwis, where Maindad and Shoaib scored tons of runs together. Miandad made 271 in the Christchurch test match?

I don't think struggle is the right word. Must not forget the 3 WSC Pakistan played in 80s in Aus the 3rd team was the mighty WI, who eventually won all 3 tournaments. 1981, 83-84 and this one. Secondly don't forget Pak made it to the final B&H championship in 85, beating WI in SF. And then again played the final of Perth challenge in 87. In both these tournaments Pak defeated both WI and Aus.
