back home in Trinidad where Gomes is from he is known as MR DEPENDABLE. never lets you down and had this annoying knack of being able to score a century with the opposing team not realising he was in the nineties untill he only needed one more single to score a century. he got most of his runs from little singles and twos. never ever hooked and never took risky flashy shots.
@@trinihammer sounds about right. Even if Australia would get a breakthrough of the upper order, Larry would come out and stick around for sure. I’d have him in my WI best xi, which is pretty much that team from the 80s. A lot of 80s Aussie kids came to support the Windies due to the class of that era, me very much included. I still miss them to this day. Kim Hughes famously said words to the effect that all batting records since that era are irrelevant as they didn’t have to face that Windies side every summer.
@@Bluepillphil-d1w the secret about Gomes was nobody paid attention to him. all the aussie fielders were looking at the other flashy west indian batsmen at the other end. i remember one year against austrailia Gomes got a century and you could literally see on the aussie fielders faces disbelief that he was on 99 and needed only one more run to get his century. Gomes all of his innings was picking up a single here and nudge a single there and flick another single there and before you know it he wants one more run for his century.
@@vipulpatel-yp4pg Yes,they were awesome too!!😊 The right handed/left handed combination was a notable feature of their partnership. Lawry was at,times,almost impossible to remove and Simpson was a steady accumulator of runs. Richards and Greenidge,arguably, played in a more swashbuckling style.😊
What a wonderful combination of West indies cricket Team...Amazing and unsurpassable. Those were the days when WI was ruling the cricket world...I was school boy...just listening on radio Andy Roberts, Clark, Craft, Gorden Grinidge, Marshall, Richard, Ambrose, etc...Love from Pakistan
The West Indies team of the mid to late 70’s throughout the 80’s and then leading to the early to mid 90’s was there strongest side. But the 80’s team especially was something to awe about. They would’ve definitely made the Steve Waugh team cry like babies.
They were bowled out for 63 or so by Procter, Rice, Le Roux and Imran Khan for Rest Of The World in Kerry Packers World Series Cricket in an odi game. Then beaten by an innings by Rest Of The World in a test. Barry Richards century, Rice 80*, Procter half century. 4 wickets for Rice in one innings, 4 for Le Roux in the next.

It's difficult to compare eras, but there are 2 facts. The WI batsmen of that era did not have to play against Malcolm Marshall, Garner, Holding. Viv Richards struggled against Joel Garner in 1st class cricket. But at the same time, Ponting and Hayden did not have to face McGrath and Warne. It is difficult to say how the contests would go. I think Ponting and Hayden would definitely struggle against the WI bowlers. And Viv Richards would have some 50/50 battles with McGrath. Overall maybe I would give the edge to the WI.
@@Athena-qi1ll you can say that again. you could always count on larry to hold up one end while the other batsman perfomed all the entertaining cricket shots at the other end. the thing about larry was he would be quietly picking up his odd single here and the little two runs there but before you know it he has a century. all from singles and twos.
Not just the glory years of West Indian cricket but the glory years of test cricket as a whole. The years from the beginning of the 70's through until probably mid to late 90's (at a pinch) were filled with some the greatest players on all teams and some fantastic matches they provided. The early WC's - the 75 final, were particularly memorable. Fantastic days ...
This may be '83 or '84, I was a teenager and big fan of Windies. In my home we had a small radio and I was hardly listening to this commentary through SW2. My mother was shouting me why are you putting your ears inside the Radio due to the very poor signal strength those days. If I am not mistaken great Mr. Brian Johnston was in the commentary. It was a wonderful night for me since Windies won this match and made it a 5-0 white wash. I was lucky enough to watch that highlights today as an adult of which having a son similar to my that age. What a wonderful memory. Thanks Trini Todbone.
I'm guessing 84 judging by how young Gatting looks, Downton had recently got into the side, Foster the bright new fast bowling hope. I wonder why Garner isn't playing.
This was the 2nd test at Lords in ‘84. This was an amazing tour for the West Indies. Greenidge scored another double century, also Viv hit his unbeaten 189* in the first one day and Marshall took 7-53 with a broken hand at Headingly. Just a few highlights.
It's 1984, second test of the "Blackwash" series in England (same happened in the Caribbean in 1985/6). I think the English commentator is Jim Laker, not Brian Johnston, who was mainly a radio commentator. You also get the peerless Richie Benaud.
boxingjerapah Benaud? Absolutely. One of the greatest commentators in *ANY* sport. Insightful, laconic, droll, intelligent with extremely dry humour, and of course the master of understatement. laker, however, was a dour, humourless curmudgeon void of any wit or true intelligence who uttered trite platitudes and sounded like he had a perpetual cold. My theory is that people in their 40's through their 60's liked laker primarily due to hearkening back to their youth with very rose coloured spectacles. Let's face it - the miserable old git laker was never off the air!
Benaud, yes he was witty, measured and wise with a love for the game which placed him above the partisan fervour Laker, a bowling legend and , yes, the product of an earlier understated age - but like Arlott, Benaud, Johnstone, Greig a voice of cricket that gilds the golden thread of cricket through the vicissitudes of our lives

I was there that day, watching on from the upper tier of the Mound Stand (next to the sight screen at the Nursery End), everyone expected the game to drift to a draw at the beginning of the day but that was before Gordon Greenidge got stuck in to the England bowlers. Amazing batting but hard to watch as an England fan.
I was at Lords that day, and remember thinking we (England) could win. Greenidge and Gomes disagreed. I seemed to remember a flat six from Greenidge hitting the Tavern and bouncing back out to the cut square before anyone moved, but couldn’t see that on these highlights. Perhaps memory playing tricks on me... I would say 1984 ish.
This was such a great west indies team. Players like greenidge, richards, Lloyd, marshall wud be in an all time best west indies 11. Thats how great this team was.

Clive Lloyds team was like a pack of marauding cheetahs, panthers, tigers, hyenas & some wild dogs. Man, what wonderful cricket they gave us. Every team was running scared of them. Surprisingly only India stood up to the Windies.
Actually do you not recall that India are the only team to forfit a match part way through an innings rather than carry on batting against the fast bowling of Lloyds West Indians.
Mate India was lucky to grab a victory in 83 final . Probably complacency and Arrogance cost them the hat tricks of world cups . It was a stunning victory Especially the catch taken by Kapil Dev was brilliant and turning point of the game . Later the Windies blanked India in tests in India .

West Indies now have given up the common wealth sport for Basketball , baseball and athletics. Now it is just used as marketing for any team especially Indian team when they beat them. Just a way to become millionaire against setup competition. Useless sport now.

No helmet no fear
Greenwich often wore a helmet. Not really needed against this bowling attack on that wicket.
