Marshall Magic, Brilliant Botham & Greenidge's Masterpiece! | Classic Match | Eng v WI 1984 | Lord's

[@nirankushbharadwaj4615]

A moment of appreciation for the channel , to give a chance even to spectate such greats to have played the game .

[@lordscricketground]

Thank you, Nirankush. An honour to share this epic match at Lord's!

[@devinderkumar6187]

One of the best 4th innings century by Gordon Greenidge. Brutal slaughter.

[@faisalshawon1207]

What a bowler Marshall was ??? Definitely best of all time contender.

[@simonmassey3747]

Golden Summers of the past watching some of the best players of their day. Malcolm Marshall, Viv Richards and Beefy would all be in my all-time XI. Also fantastic to hear the tones of Ritchie Benaud who is greatly missed. Thank you for uploading these wonderful highlights.

[@rdatta]

Thanks for sharing. What a remarkable match. Greenidge's 214* is legendary but I hadn't realized what an incredible performance by Botham. Fine innings by Fowler and Lamb. Proper cricket. Props to Larry Gomes - takes some kind of talent to bat at #4 for this team.

[@lordscricketground]

Glad you enjoyed it, Rajan.

[@kristoffsamm10]

Larry Gomes has a stadium named after him in Trinidad

[@poswalkuldeep]

Those ruthless square cut by Greenidge ..oooooh la..la...amazing. what a team that was 😊

[@YourNEBOSHguide]

Yes indeed. There was some different level of ferocity in his square cuts and pulls.

[@mrkipling2201]

He wasn’t the fastest bowler around but he was so accurate and nearly always made the batsman play it. Ian Botham was my cricket hero growing up. Absolutely brilliant player.

[@jahno7154]

He was a brilliant player but he was never a accurate bowler even when he lost all his pace.

[@mrkipling2201]

Well he must have been pretty accurate to get all those wickets!!

[@rv_316]

@@mrkipling2201 well beefy was bloody good, his records are a testimony of that. Not fast by any means, but very accurate. My childhood favorite along with hadlee and so many others. Good old days of exciting cricket.

[@danguee1]

@@mrkipling2201 Not when you're looking at the greatest. He could be pretty wayward. Botham is 19th on the list of highest wicket-takers. Only 2 on that list of 19 have a higher economy and only 1 (of the non-spinners) has a higher average. When this discussion is around The Greats - Botham was not particularly accurate

[@pushkar6175]

MALCOLM'S PURE PACE BOTHAMS ALL - ROUND TALENT GREENINDGE CONSISTENT AND CLASS

[@viking007]

Gower was slaughtered by the press for the declaration. But he really couldn't be faulted: it was just sublime Greenidge, batting like a man possessed, who was responsible for the result. Until the time Greenidge walked into bat for the second time, England had made a match of it.

[@lexol3347]

Must be quite depressing for a team to set what looked like a challenging target, only to be beaten by 9 wickets.

Strongest England side ever? Are you having a laugh!

Crikey. Botham, Lamb, Gower and Willis were top class but the rest? Broad was decent as was Gatting but Pringle....Tbf to these guys the Windies would thrash just about any side throughout history and they made some talented players look terrible

Thank you very much for this beautiful video. A pulsating match with some great performances. One of the greatest individual knocks in victorious run-chases in test history. Greenidge was at his imperious best.

[@mrduckspeak]

I remember one cricket correspondent's summary of this game included the immortal line, "Botham bowled England into the game on the Saturday - and out of it again on Tuesday."

[@lestercharles9856]

The quality of the square cutting by both teams in this match is brilliant...

[@rohanyeole6520]

LCG is a pure gold in making of test cricket Wonder how challenging it would have been for the umpires to decide whether its a six or four. LCG and Eden gardens are the two grounds where the unexpected becomes reality. Also hats off to the crowds those days I rarely found a seat empty in the stands. Love your efforts LCG hats off again to you as well.

[@montecristo1769]

LCG, may I suggest you supplement these great and nostalgic videos with the relevant scorecards of each innings, else the visuals and commentary are just meaningless without them. I had to do a Google search for the match scorecard to understand which team scored what on which day and how WI won in the end.

Thanks for this/ England never recovered from this result in this series. They competed well for four days but then saw the West Indies ascend to another level and simply demolish their bowling attack on the final day. Greenidge's performance was astonishing to watch. It was pretty much one way traffic for the rest of the series.

[@johnkinsella5358]

Nice to see how competitive England were against this West Indies team -in some tests at least. Gower's declaration was brave and not seen as reckless at the time, just as an honest attempt to win a test match. Greenidge and Gomes showed how 4th innings batting was done. Also a reminder that Ian Botham had a cracking series in 1984, huge wickets and I think 4 fifties, at least as good as 1981 but against a far better team against whom, one great player on fire could not turn the tide, hard though he did try.

[@kingsrd1]

Yeah!

[@boymeetsbush8232]

Botham and Greenidge were joint man of the match. That is how good Botham was in this match otherwise 214 NO in less than a day would have easily been solo Man of the match for greenidge

[@harrynewiss4630]

As England only had one wicket left when the declaration was made it's not obvious it would have made a lot of difference
