M09 England vs West Indies 1987

[@prasadkulkarni4672]

147 was not a defendable target against the West Indies of those times. But Botham's gesture of sportsmanship towards Holding was great indeed ! - Prasad s.kulkarni, Mangalore, India.

[@DamianGleeson]

Very impressed by Botham's sportsmanship here on his dismissal.

[@akchasteify]

Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards - what a player! Man, what a player!!!

[@SantiagoBernebeu]

Sadly Wilf Slack passed away 2 years later. Truly missed.

[@meghanvasant]

Yes. He used to pass out suddenly. And on the field too.

[@apkman3669]

Haynes, Richardson, and Gomes combined to score 49 (173), while Viv scored 58 (84). Amazing 🤩

Great batsman Viv Richards King of the ground

[@zxzv1]

Those days Channel 9 didn't have their camera's directly behind the umpire. Got to see 1 minute highlights on DD News, thats it. This was way before Star tv began in the early 90's. Had to rely on live commentary from Radio Australia to enjoy the game.

Holding and Garner seem tired as they were nearing the end of their careers. Holding had dropped a lot in pace.

[@Vinodkumar-fg1qm]

Botham without helmet 😲

[@graghavan712]

I think this was Mike Holding's last appearance in international cricket.....

[@HkFinn83]

You see off Marshall and Garner and think, well it must get easier now. Holding comes on first change. Get through that and the second change bowler will be a lot easier. Oh it’s Courtney Walsh. Unbelievable.

[@sumithegde8240]

Think this was Richards's only fifty in the 2 back to back ODI tournaments held in Australia.

[@lloydrobson]

46th over & 1st 6……How times have changed

[@GN-qx5fl]

Huge grounds with smaller bats though.. imagine Viv with modern day bats and reduced boundaries !! Awesome player

[@jaydeepdas2671]

Shows the quantity of bowling

[@graghavan712]

These teams were the Big Guns back then... India and Pakistan were too inconsistent, though India had won a couple of World tournaments by 1987

[@Theodorehopkin-l4j]

Seems like west indies out fields are small comparing to the others today you hardly see any three run running

[@LakhnSingh-zw3fn]

Please upload only exciting matches Not the one sided boring matches

[@pankajsachdeva915]

Richard jaisa player 100 saal mein koi aata hai

[@santhanamramesh7901]

Viv the king
