Graham Gooch a ferouruose legend and destroy of all attack in any forms of cricket as an opener he was unstoppable batting with Geoffrey boycott as opener and remained an opener of unleashed proportions was troubled early in his career to the great legends of Australia bowlers such as Dennis lillee and Jeffrey Thompson and especially terry alderman after there retirement from cricket he came with a venchance destroying all opposition that stood in his path making him legend of cricket by retiring from cricket and history at over ,42 years of age he redeemed himself became the top English batsman with the most test runs he was the big master and not the little master and one of England finest batsman to ever play the game of cricket going back to the start of his debu in 1969
I was at this match with a good friend of mine from work, the best gooch has ever played I think, but that catch from young Tendulkar was out of this world simply amazing
I was there! I was fortunate enough to be invited (for once in my life) to a brilliant corporate freebie including lunch with Jim Laker and Godfrey "Godders" Evans, who was on great form. But of course the highlight was Graham Gooch's innings. What a day, and thanks for letting me relive it on UA-cam.
Kiran More Dropped a few Simple Dolly Catches. Otherwise Gooch Couldn't have made 333. However Indian Cricket Team took Revenge when England under Graham Gooch's Captaincy Visited India. Gooch Couldn't Score a Half Century in Test Cricket and One Dayers. Indian Spinners made life miserable for Graham Gooch. Gooch's Dream of Becoming the Highest Run Getter in Test Cricket came to an Abrupt End. As per ICC Records it is Sachin Tendulkar Sir holds the World Record of Scoring 51 Test Hundreds and Maximum Runs in Test Cricket and One Dayers.
After Graham got to 300, Sir Geoffrey boycott said 'I told you he were rubbish and now he' s gone out there and proved me bloody well right.. 😜🏴👌
Great driving. BTW I've never seen sobody so unextactic in passing 100 and its multiples. When he got 300, he looked like most people look when they get 50.
Kiran More drops a simple catch from behind the stumps of Graham Gooch. Gooch would go on and make 333 runs. it was most costly drop catch in the history of test cricket 313 RUNS
Graham Gooch's Form Deteriorated Drastically During England's Tour of India. England were Defeated 3-0 in the Test Series & One Dayer's Also. Better Luck Next Life Graham Gooch.😢😢
I've just remembered who it was. It was the Chairman of Selectors at the time: Ted Dexter. These cricketers were playing when I was a small child and they tend to blend into each other!
Thank you for pointing out my embarrassing mistake. Godders was definitely there: I was sitting next but one to him and he was showing us the bits of chipped bone under the skin in his fingers ("I could have them removed but they bring back memories"). But who on earth is the person I wrongly remember as being Jim Laker? He was up the other end of the table so I didn't actually talk with him. If it comes to me, I'll let you know. Well spotted: it's best that I knew!
Ahhh, Lord Ted himself - a real critic of Gooch. I hope I didn't come across as unpleasant with my comment, coincidentally I'd just been reading about Jim Laker! Gooch was my sporting hero...I remember this series so well, having just finished my A levels, so I had plenty of time on my hands to watch!
Even if the pitch was a shirt-front, the concentration it takes to bat for that long is incredible. If only his coaching was half as good as his batting - or is it just a coincidence that England's batting has gone backwards since he took over full time...
Its because Gooch is from the old school of sportsmen who just got on with it. Nowadays we have to endure all sorts of crazy celebrations in all sports. Its a different world today sadly.
BBC missed Gooch going to 300 live because they had to go to a ruddy horse race. I think it was a 4 horse race. Hated when the cricket was interrupted on the BBC by horse racing.
He scored 572 runs in three consecutive ennings. After 3 years, in 1993, england was hoasted by India and recieved complete white wash. Captained Guch was bamboozled by our bowlers and England lost the series by 3 nill.
Agree, Smithy was perhaps one of the worst treated players out of the 90's, yet commanded respect from every country he played against. The same can't be said of Hick or Ramps who were treated with kid gloves.
if only england had such a dominant batsman today. I know we have pietersen, but gooch could destroy any bowling on any pitch. Goochie is with the boys in south africa at the moment, and the way that the 3rd test is going he surely has a chance to play in the final test!!!!
i remember wk More dropped a sitter while he was 36....297 runs i guess is the biggest cost a fielder has paid for such mistake... & who said Prabhakar is a legend...thats like saying Mark Ealham or Ian Harvey or Andrew Hall are legends....he was promising but never was damn good & later screwed it up with fixing matches with Azharuddin.
Hang on. If Bopara etc shouldn't be playing for England because they are British Asians, then surely Trott and Prior are English South Africans, and it's ok for them to play for England? You need to sort your argument out.
Current English cricketers sucks or other nations getting better????? I think both.....! Well most of the current English players are not pure English. Ravi Bopara, Monty Panesar, Sajid Mahmood, Adil Rashid, Dimitri Mascarenhas (British-Asians). Kevin Pieterson, Andrew Strauss, Matt Prior, Jonathan Trott (South Africans) Owais Shah (Pakistani) Eoin Morgan (Irish). So sometimes I wonder what does it mean to represent your own country means...?????!!!
A truely great performance. Watched it on TV. Every one of the 456 runs!
WHAT A LUCKY 333 HE GRAHAM GOOCH WAS DROPPED ON 0 BY INDIAN FIELDER
@@sureshdhiman82 it was kiran more
Great match. Also remembered for Kapil Dev's 4 sixes and Azharuddin's amazing 121.
The best that graham gooch has ever played amazing performance wonderful game
@@tomlardner2708 It was a great knock, but I think his 154* vs the West Indies at Headingley is rated the second greatest Test innings of all time.

Gooch is one of the greatest of all time. He scored against every team including the great Windies attack.

Lillee and Thomson made life miserable for Graham Gooch on His Test Debut and he got a Pair.😢😢

An effortless cricketer, one of the best ever opening Batsman of all time
After Graham got to 300, Sir Geoffrey boycott said 'I told you he were rubbish and now he' s gone out there and proved me bloody well right.. 😜🏴👌
this happened 21 years ago and one player from this game is still going strong
I miss these days. The BBC coverage and commentators were great.
Great driving. BTW I've never seen sobody so unextactic in passing 100 and its multiples. When he got 300, he looked like most people look when they get 50.

No..gooch was on 36 vn more dropped.
So it cost 297 runs
Gooch was a legend.

I remember watching this. I had just left school. For some reason I thought when finally got out he was caught and bowled.
Goddammit! It was on youtube last time I checked.
Best runout ever IMHO.
I was there wonderful match played in a great sprit.
I've just remembered who it was. It was the Chairman of Selectors at the time: Ted Dexter. These cricketers were playing when I was a small child and they tend to blend into each other!

He was in tremendous touch and 572 thrice in a row. England toured India in the year 1993 and witnessed the shadow of Graham Guch.
He scored 572 runs in three consecutive ennings. After 3 years, in 1993, england was hoasted by India and recieved complete white wash. Captained Guch was bamboozled by our bowlers and England lost the series by 3 nill.
No, not at all, you were quite right to mention it: I'm always pleased to be put right when I've got it wrong.
Merv Hughes and Graham Gooch must have been terrifying to play against for a 17 year old Tendulkar
Supreme stroke maker
Gooch was Class pure class
Met my old club skipper in town and we got massively drunk in the West End Club watching this. Happy daze.
Gooch. Dickie Bird. Ritchie Benaud. Perfect summer afternoon?
Think he was 36 here and Chef has retired at 33!
Always liked Robin Smith, he was my favourite.
best english batting talent ever!!!!
MrKami1981 Gower is best
WHAT A LUCKY 333 HE GRAHAM GOOCH WAS DROPPED ON 0 BY INDIAN FIELDER

The same can't be said of Hick or Ramps who were treated with kid gloves.
Jack Russell too.
Wow @ Gooch.
if only england had such a dominant batsman today. I know we have pietersen, but gooch could destroy any bowling on any pitch. Goochie is with the boys in south africa at the moment, and the way that the 3rd test is going he surely has a chance to play in the final test!!!!
Thats the bit I'll always remember from that game.
Poor old Eddie. He was a shit bowler!
Compare Gooch celebration on getting to 300 compared to Warner.
against that bowling? Kapil, Prabhakar and Shastri are legends of Indian cricket..and Hirwani isnt far off..
English cricketers are very classic players
This match had legendary performers in both sides ..!
@India24X7 I beg your pardon?
Since when has Prabhakar been a 'legend' of Indian cricket?
Indian cricket has a few stars, mate and no, Manoj Prabhakar isn't one of them.
Manoj prabhakhar maha fudu bowler gandu Head Randi ka bacha
i remember wk More dropped a sitter while he was 36....297 runs i guess is the biggest cost a fielder has paid for such mistake...
& who said Prabhakar is a legend...thats like saying Mark Ealham or Ian Harvey or Andrew Hall are legends....he was promising but never was damn good & later screwed it up with fixing matches with Azharuddin.
Most expensive catch drop by kiran more .gooch was on 20.
Gooch was on 36...
Have Sachin scored any 300 in his career
Stuart Surridge Bat
lol! "Young Tendulkar". puts this match in its historical place, doesn't it?
His first tour of England....
Your memory is failing you a bit there - Jim Laker died in 1986...maybe he was there in spirit.
Did he get Man Of The Match? Lol
