Yes, the batsmen of that time were real warrior. Bowling that fast is something else, but to face that kind of bowling you will have to have real guts.
Agreed. But then the cult of safetyism hadn't take over the world then. The second more sinister motive is to emasculate and infantilise traditional sports out of existence by picking up on rare safety issues, in order to denigrate them and push alternatives. The BBC has the hammer on injuries in rugby for instance, especially legal action by former players for alleged brain damage caused by concussion. The real motive is that it sees rugby as an old colonial game and therefore inherently racist and wants to kill it off. We've seen it in cricket now where keepers now wear helmets as a routine as well, which is what children do. It's just not necessary at professional/Test level.
yeah...like Andi Loyd ...who was diagnosed with blurred vision and had to quit cricket until 1985, making this torturous test match by his PoV his only test appearance.
In general, today's generation has less zigra, that's because our whole bachpan was occupied by books, we can only gave someone one papers, not on ground
imagine... sylvester clarke, wayne daniel, colin croft, joel garner, andy roberts, michael holding, malcom marshall, patrick patterson, courtney walsh, curtly ambrose... just imagine. imagine they all existed around the same time; within ten years or so of each other AND all played for the same team... imagine... 🥺
@Suhas Kc he actually did play against these bowlers,with the exception of Andy Roberts and curtly ambrose. Since the would've play for the respective country's against each other in the Caribbean.
Yes! I almost didn’t recognise. Easy to forget Walsh was just as dangerous especially early on. He became the wicket taking workhorse to Ambrose’s fury.
People don't understand the nuances of ball rearing into your face when it rears from a good length at an angle. They could generate pace/bounce on any surface. That's why Gavaskar is an all time Indian great for me.
The Aussies deserve this. They are the most brutal primitive players using bodyline to just destroy the opponents. I finished watching a great presentation where the Aussies had beaten the Windies black & blue. Windies took some time to learn bodyline bowling used thisit to wipe out these brutal Aussie. Great work Windies!!!
@EXAM ODISHA not fast at all that much,they occasionally ball fast,rather those days the pitch was made more faster nd bouncy,if there was Lee ,that could have been more injuries to the batsman,i'v never seen any bowler's speed averaging so high in his whole career,u can see the speed test done by some cricket authority,holding's top speed was 142 km /h,and Thomson had 148.
The most fearsome example of hostile fast bowling where the batter got brutally injured was the blow to Mike Getting from great Malcolm Marshall .And it is missing here .Gatting was not a tail ender .He was a prime English batter then .
Yeah that ball followed him... worst yet, it _looked_ like the kind of ball you hook... Except it wasn't. Not even nearly. You could just see all the thoughts going through his mind as that missile approached... "Ah this one looks leg side... Let's see if I can..." "Wait...Oh $π|¢!! It's changed direction... Now I'm out position..." "Oh no its coming for my fac...." "Why is it so dark all of a sudden?"
I am not in favour of fast bowling employed with criminal intent to maim and kill. Bert Oldfield, who was badly injured during the Bodyline series, said 'When bowlers aim to hit batsmen, that's when I call it a day!' My feelings exactly. The game is too good to be ruined and certain players should be banned for assault. I don't care which country - it applies across the international cricket scene!!!
That's a bit harsh, don't you think? Criminal intent!?! How would you prove criminal intent? At the top tier of almost every sport,injuries will come part and parcel with the game. That's the way it has always been. @angelacooper2661
Sunil Gavasker played them the best, Zaheer Abbas, and waseem Raja in Prime are worth mentioning too, sp Waseem Raja in WI. Before people blast I am mentioning players of South Asia only, I am sure there were good batsmen against them in Australia and England too
Great clips, those old helmets just weren't up to par v the Windies quicks. Not even close. I remember Gatting getting his nose broken by a Maco bouncer, Fat Gatt said in his book there was bone lodged in the ball afterward. Frightening era for batsman.
That wasn't the first time Graham Wood had been felled by Holding. The 3 other occasions happened in Australia. Derek Randall's felling in Tasmania,by Holding, was really nasty as well.
One really feel sorry for that poor England's batsman, Who was making his debut against West Indies in 1984 series. This test Match proved to be his only test Match.
I well remember Andy Lloyd in that fateful series; aged fourteen at that time, it was coconut-shy cricket - at the cost to the game, of wanton hostility. Too high a price to pay, and making a mockery of the whole thing!
Graeme Fowler was Andy Lloyd's opening partner that day. He was out early, and in the dressing room when it happened. He said he heard the ball hit Lloyd 50 yards away and through 2 sets of doors.
I’ll be honest, I couldn’t watch the entire video. The windies attack was ferocious man. Now my respect has immensely increased for the batters of that time whether it be Sunil Gavaskar or any other player. Scoring thousands of runs against these deadly men is no joke.
Would a criminal offence have been committed if a batsman died as a result of these tactics, especially if they were deliberately employed? Surely it reduces the game to a coconut shy?
People have died. You know what you're dealing with. A bouncer is part of bowling armoury, tactically used to unsettle batsman. If players had a half decent technique, there'd be quick runs to be had.
@@iandawson3171 Well, Ian, where is the place for subtlety and spin? The game is not merely brute force, otherwise it is reduced to the level of warfare and oppression. There needs to be accountability for dangerous bowling that brings the game into disrepute. Bouncers used more sparingly and wisely are far better (and more effective) than wanton hostility. This should apply across the whole of the cricket world!
How the hell did no one die during this Era? And what the hell was that last kid doing facing this kind of bowling? He looks about 15, what the hell were the selectors thinking?
I doubt that the intention was to cause pain, more like intimidation. It keeps the batsmen honest. Also, any other nation would have used a fast bowling quartet if they could have developed one. It’s just that no one else could seem to manage to get together four express pace men; they were more one or two quicks with the others being medium fast.
Yeah, Most of the West indian bowlers were tall, with the exception of Andy Robert. As a taller quick the ball kind of floats a bit when bowling fuller making it easier to drive. So bowling short or back of a length is better for tall quicks.
Had I been an English Test selector, I would have promoted a varied bowling attack, not treated the game as just hurling rocks at each other. Spin and subtlety should not be excluded!
@@amitjain11000 I still don’t think that any bowler would intentionally want to kill or even seriously hurt a batsman from the opposition. Psychologically, it’s very hard to live with someone else’s death or serious injury if you know that you have been partially responsible for it. Players may overstep the mark in competitive situations at times but I seriously doubt that anyone would want the above scenario; if anyone did, you would have to conclude that there was something wrong with them.
Half of the caribbean team in that era knew how to give first aid. It would have been a nightmare without a visor or a grill on a helmet. No batsman would have dared to execute a pull on front foot just like modern day shorter format batters manage to do.
@@roybennett9284 Since Warnie retired, it's pretty much gone back to the pre-Warne era. I'll be amazed if we ever see a bowler who's even close to being another Shane Warne.

Some comments on this video unfairly malign the West Indies fast bowlers. The bouncer from Ambrose to Lawson is the only one that could be considered blameworthy, as it was bowled on a fast wicket to someone who wasn't a recognised batter. The balls from Holding to Wood, Marshall to Lloyd and Walsh to Prabhakar were all bowled to recognised batters who must be presumed to be able to deal with short-pitched bowling, and who in all three cases erred in their attempts to play the deliveries. The ball from Walsh to Ritchie wasn't even a bouncer; it was a good length ball that reared up from a dodgy pitch.
The greatest fast bowling quartet ever:Robert's,Garner,Marshall &Holding..beautifully deadly.

None of the balls were that short, just some poor shot-choices.
Distance between wickets shall be increased from 22 to 24 yards as the time available is just fraction.
Sunny is a great. & Little blokes tend to be able to play short stuff ok. Helps if you've got a technique as good as Sunny had it must be said.
And that's why the ICC made the one bouncer per rule😮..
