We are missing Oz TRIANGLER CRICKET SERIES MATCHES. Scrap T20 Matches for god sake. It's killing beauty of ONE DAY cricket matches.

Collis King and Victorian Ray Bright who played with Bob Simpson in 1977 when there was a split between test cricket and Kerry Packers world series cricket

[@jugheadsrule]

Nope Bright played with WSC, never with Simpson

[@amitjain11000]

Garner was deceptively quick, the loose arm action was a real bluff. His bouncers were very tough to hit.

Those days of real test cricket

[@trooking1]

At 10:59, I loved the bowling action of Ray Bright, great rhythm, I used to try to copy it.

[@shanesnow1561]

Ray Bright was a much better bowler before WSC. Playing so many one day matches against the best batsmen in the world caused him to bowl quicker and more defensively and he lost his loop flight and spin. Unfortunately he never really got it back.

[@mrkipling2201]

I first saw him bowl in the tied test match in 1986, not live but in a documentary, I didn’t know that he played WSC.

[@ikatelx1503]

That's when I would watch cricket before I eat, these days I eat before I watch cricket 🏏

[@shaundgb7367]

Was this 8 ball overs in this season of World Series Cricket? Also, I notice they call it the International Cup, and was a 40 overs game limit for each innings. Did they have two formats of limited overs cricket that summer of 50 over games and 40 over games or was it just this Cup series of 40 over games?

[@jugheadsrule]

Just this cup series

[@JK-tr2mt]

Only for 10,000 dollars! And that was WSC! I'm sure the gate receipts were far more!!! But WSC was great cricket competition. Could someone upload all the WSC matches?

[@baggav99]

And to think these days guys with zero talent making millions

[@hanajinks1044]

It wasn't the gate receipts that made the money but the tv advertising...

[@myj87]

Thank you Sir for this brilliant upload ! Do you have any Australian domestic cricket match from 1990s.? also do u have any field hockey clips .? If you have sir please upload it.

[@markhayward7400]

I am old enough to remember watching Bernard Julien play for Kent in county cricket in England. He was a mercurial performer, but on his day, he was as good an all-rounder as anyone then playing. His West Indies career didn't do justice to his talent

[@DavidLouisson]

Julien played against NZ in their first ever tour of the Caribbean in 1972 (where Glenn Turner made four double hundreds, matching Patsy Hendren's feat). Trinidad had an unusual bowling attack that included Julien's left arm seamers, Raphick Jumadeen's LH finger spinners and Inshan Ali's left arm wrist spinners. Keith Boyce (Essex and Barbados) was another somewhat mercurial WI allrounder, who could move the ball both ways at a fairly lively pace. Against England at the Oval in 1973 he made a hard hit 72 and took 5-70 and 6-77.

[@blaze1148]

Wayne Daniel was a very under rated West Indies bowler......beautiful action....nearly as good as Micheal Holdings.

[@livingtribunal4110]

Terrible action: a run-up like wading through water with a totally all-muscle violent action. Nowhere near as aesthetic or good as Holding

[@hanajinks1044]

Daniel was very one-dimensional.

Great memories thank you, does anyone have WSC super test 4 Jan 16th 1978 Sydney Showground, that would be wonderful, thanks.

[@brettcollins2210]

I was actually at this game. Super match. Still remember Hookes 2 sixes

[@gorgen23]

Like seriously who’s bright idea was it to use a white ball with white uniforms with bullet trains aiming for you??

[@paulmurray8922]

LOL! I had the same reaction when I first noticed it was a white ball on the way to the boundary.

[@andrewblack1575]

Pascoe showing how quick he could bowl

[@hanajinks1044]

Viv played Thommo and Lillee with great caution and respect but treated Pascoe with utter disdain.

03:11. Douglas Sang Hu appealed with Walters.

west Indian bowling living up to its potential and fame

[@joncumber2020]

Great to see these games. In Trinidad, we would only get the scorecards in the papers (and sporadic tv highlights on my parents black and white). Windies were really awesome back then.

[@hanajinks1044]

Did you see any of the visit of Australia to the Windies in 1978, because that wasn't televised here. ..

[@Igloo3471]

It's a pity this venue was lost to cricket as it had a great atmosphere and had the scope to be done up into a major modern stadium depite the fact that it was built in the early 1880s. Was eventually demolished in 1998 and became Fox Studios in 1999.

[@redwhiteandblueblood]

Isn't it GWSs ground?

[@Igloo3471]

@@redwhiteandblueblood No. The ground they play at is called the Sydney Showground but it's not the same location as the one here.

[@2175Wook]

This is awesome footage love it. Just wondering if you have 9th December 1979 ODI when Viv Richards made 153 not out?

[@steverutherford7171]

Sorry 2175Wook I have not got that particular footage!

[@rsmani41crichapp]

What a match from the Kerry Packer series & firstly thanks for this rare footage . West Indies defending a paltry score on a good batting pitch & it looked like a cakewalk for the in form Aussie batsmen, but the West Indies just kept plugging in & wrested the game away by winning it magnificently. So fortunate to witness it. I just love watching the Kerry Packer world series cricket umpteen times. I never get tired of it with such lovely commentators calling the shots.

[@jugheadsrule]

I was there as a kid. I believe it was also the first time the Albion style of helmet was worn when Rod Marsh opened with it on. It was also David Hookes first match back after his broken jaw. The crowd erupted when he hit Roberts for those 2 sixes.

[@mrkipling2201]

What game was it where Wayne Daniel hit the last ball for six??

[@rsmani41crichapp]

@@mrkipling2201 It was way back in the Kerry Packer cricket series, which saw the evolution of pyjama cricket under lights with a white ball, as we call them nowadays as one day internationals with coloured clothing.
