- Australia vs West Indies Adelaide test 1981-82. Can the great West Indies team keep their winning record alive against the awesome Aussie bowling attack.
Now days cricket making money. Not play for country
This is when cricket was cricket, as we say in the cricket fraternity. The game has changed in multiple ways and not always for the better in my view. Changes are inevitable irrespective of the sport. However, Test cricket is still the ultimate test of a player's skills set, temperament, mentality and the like. No other format can compare in this respect. Yes, i'm old school/traditionalist and not ashamed of it. Long live Test cricket.
sadly its all gone!! we have a bunch of divas playing cricket....i am with u on this one....i am old school..//
No game like TEST match cricket🌹

@@johnbraithwaite-mt2fy the shorter format of the game and the IPL have destroyed test cricket All we have are a bunch of expensive divas.You think any of those divas would return to bat for the team like Chanderpaul with an injured arm? In those golden years it was all about the team and representing the WI.I have stopped watching cricket because all they are doing is vooping The artistry and the battle between bowler and the batsman is gone
The halcyon days. Won’t ever be repeated. At least we can say we saw and it’s in our memories forever.
Those were the good old days of West Indies cricket.
Thanks so much for uploading a classic !
Shocking fielding by the Aussies haha
You Got More Old Cricket Matches Like Australia Vs West Indies 1979/80 First Test???
Can You Find Out For Me ???
Cricket was simply a romantic drama in those days. V Richard was the beloved hero Lily was a threatning villan. Picturization was simple n great. No intervals no adds. Those were the days of great pleasure.
Great real cricket
that shortish boundary is today's longest boundary. how times has changed.
❤😂is that so ?? Okay HAHAHA

Ohh... I miss this cricket. Stupid ipl destroying our rich game
Ipl is not cricket so is t20
BRILLIANT CRICKET 🏏 THOSE WERE THE DAYS BRILLIANT WEST INDIES 👏🏾
Those beautiful days seems like they will never no never return.
This umpire is to be commended
absolutely - i just saw this now and was abt to post 'great umpiring - anywhere else even back then or these days, those would be given out, notwithstanding reviews'
Forget about the result.
Just think about the legends, the rivalry and most importantly, the nostalgia.
Tremendous stuff.
Kudos to the “uploaded”.
❤well said and well OBSERVED

3:40. Third man is still a huge source of runs more than 40 years later!
Awesome game!
How do you get out with the score tied 😳😳with a shot like that on a delivery like that 🤨🤨
Cricket at its very best
Another Brilliant Upload Keep It up
I wasn't there, and I understand why DK Lillee couldn't bowl, but why didn't Marsh ( the stand in skipper ) have A Border bowl a couple of overs to give Pascoe & Thompson a bit of a break?
I'm aware that the usual change bowler was G Chappell, who was also absent (ill or injured) but why not try something, anything. Continuing with just the 3 bowlers was just asking for defeat.
Very true- hard to win with 3 bowlers but how many catches did the Aussies shell?
@@Dinesh-nx4lh indeed, the old saying "catches win matches" certainly applies!
And I've often said, to friends, that it's impossible to win a test match with only 4 bowlers, (which was what Australia were doing with McGrath, Lee, Gillespie & Warne) let alone what happens if one breaks down. Like McGrath did at Edgbaston in 2005.
@@EarlJohn61 McDermott was injured early in 2nd Ashes test of 1993, and Australia went on to thrash England by an innings, M Waugh opening the bowling in 2nd inns.
@@sentimentalbloke185 and the Waugh twins were people who could if needed step up and bowl a few overs, just to give the main bowlers a break. Then, when one of the main bowlers breaks down, they had the ability (& the will) to bowl a few extra overs. I'm not asking for 6 bowlers each bowling 15 overs in a day. What I'm saying is needed is 4 or 5 front line bowlers and 2 or 1 "part-time" bowler that can bowl say 3 overs each either side of the tea break (or something like that).
Not a formula set in concrete, but a guide... 11 players: 5 batters, 1 batting all-rounder, 1 wicket keeper, 1 bowling all-rounder, 3 bowlers.
With 1 or 2 of the batters able to roll an arm over
@@EarlJohn61 TL; DR
Pascoe had a nice bowling action similar to the great Allan Donald
Pascoswas better and looked more exciting
1992-93 Adelaide test of Frank Worell Trophy was the best. Australia of captain Allan Border needed to chase 186 runs in 4th innings to win that fourth test of the trophy as well as that trophy but West Indies bowled out Australia for 184 runs to level the series and then won Perth test to win that test series in Australia.
Great series that. I call it the Curtly ambrose smash and grab 😂
@@dupreemottley7320 and Courtney Walsh, Shemar Joseph, Kapil Dev, Fannie D Villers of 2024 Gabba test, 1981 MCG test and 1994 SCG test where homeside Australia failed to chase targets of 216 runs, 143 runs and 117 runs respectively. Fannie was superb in 1994 Sydney test where homeside Australia needing only 117 runs target to chase for a win got all out for 111 runs.
@Dinesh God bless!!
You have brought back my childhood and teen age memories back.
I remember waiting for newspapers and Dharmayug and Saptahik Hindustan magzines for updates on matches and we would make an album for the season by pasting pictures cut off those. The boy with more coloured pictures would be neighbour's envy.
Oh how dearly I miss the great WI of yore!!! I still remember waiting for 4-5 hours on my rooftop to take a glimpse of my favourite WK Dujon and favourite bowler Holding to come out at their hosts' balcony and acknowledge the cheering fans atop roofs around and on road.
Those days in Kanpur few millionaires {including Sunil Gawaskar's father in Law} used to invite the teams for dinner as sponsorship was something unheard of and there wasn't much money but just passion in cricket.
Thanks again @Dinesh.
Please keep posting such gems.

@Amit ji thanks for the message. As a kid I was the biggest Windies fan- they were an awesome team and my family and I met the team on a few occasions, very friendly and happy bunch of cricketers. Thank you for sharing your experiences 😎
@@Dinesh-nx4lh indeed they were the most loved visiting team. No arrogance at all. The way they were ever ready for photograph or autograph was amazing. And for us the teens they were the style icons. Even Richards style of chewing the gum was followed. 😂😂😂😂😂
At 3:47 Thommo gets Richards, given not out...but watch how fast the ball gets from the inside edge of Richards' bat to Marsh's glove...genuinely fast ball.
That was Greenidge, not Richards. The commentator made a mistake. Richards in a cap, Greenidge in a helmet.
I think these were decent umpires
Like any other change cricket is never going to be the same of the yester years euphoria. The glorious days.
I followed this game in the newspapers at the time (from the other side of the world). Hoped one day that I would get to see some footage. 40 years later and here it is :)))). Brilliant stuff. Thank you.
Thank God for UA-cam. As an elementary schoolboy in 1963, I started listening to cricket WI vs England, on a transistor radio, never dreaming that one day I would be able to see actual footage of those games. Now, it's right here on my screen.
Yes! Classic match and finish! Listened to it on Radio Australia with bated breath from Bangladesh! Always wondered if the TV footage could be retrieved. Thanks UA-cam!

jeff thomson lilee pascoe couldn't Stop west indies from winning
lilee thomson wat were they doing
I remember watching this game in Australia. What a bowling effort from Thompson, Yardley and Pasco. Lillee was hurt in his first bowling spell in that game as well as Terry alderman and Greg Chappell. I think even marsh had a couple of overs in the first innings but look at the West Indies team. Big Bird, Sir C Lloyd, Michael holding, Larry Gomes, Desmond and Gorden arguably one of the goat opening combinations, and of course sir Vivian Richards. And us, border, hooks, Lillee and Tompson (enough said about how feared Those two were.) Chappell, Marsh, Alderman, Yardley. A great platform this which allows some of us to relive our memories which commentary we remember listening to and remembering great players and great commentators rip Richie and Ian
❤well said
Thank you indeed. Marvelous cricket.
I wonder what a Snicko/ hotspot review, would of showed nowadays with that Rod Marsh take off Thommo
Windies were great, but Australian attack wasn’t at its best. Lillee the best bowler was injured, only bowled 4 overs in each innings. Geoff Lawson out of match, probably a better bowler at that time than Thomson or Pascoe.
Super Cat was a thorn in the flesh of many a teams.Just when the opposition dismissed Viv and sighed with relief ,in comes Lloyd to play a match winning innings,many many times. A real crisis man for the Windies.
If you are a good batsman, then you have to prove it by scoring against the Aussies. They believe that the game is not over until the last ball is bowled. How I admire the Aussies....
Faoud Bacchus led a charmed life batting here! This was, I think, his last tour. He never successfully established himself in either the WIndies test or ODI sides.
Yep good old days of West Indies cricket while i played in those days I had a small pocket radio with me all the time great days
The appears to be so much larger than is common nowadays. Is it just an optical illusion with the old camera? Anyone know how long the boundaries were those days? They appear to be about 75 yards in the modern game, which is about 3.25x the length of the cricket pitch. This video makes it appear that the boundary is about 90 yards away
Yes i remember this,fantastic cricket match,can u please listen to Tony Cozier his voice is mellow.
Tony Crozier was the best. Listened to him while living in Bequia during the 70's.
That should be kudos to the “uploader”
The Aussie dropped so many catches in this match
I believe this was the difference between the teams. Australia failure to hold simple catches cost them the chance to win the series
Border's catch attempt at a wide 1st slip off Lloyd's only chance, was a virtual impossible catch, and would've had to stick. If that had have happened, they may had won the series 2-0. But "WE" knew he was going to drop it. Some have said that he should've left it to Marsh, or that Marsh shouldn't have dived, as it was closer to Border, and would've put Border off. But Marsh was the one who had the gloves, and it would've stuck if he got in the palm.
Super west indies
Sheer classy Windies
one is of the classics thanks for reviving those great memories of the early 80s
Oh Captain!! My captain👍
Thats when west indies was a team now all we have is crap but they keep saying we have so much talent i think we should play baseball instead 😅
An absolutely all conquering WI side which simply outclassed the convicts.
Fabulous performance by the great WI side.
Amazingly a fully fit Australian team probably would have won the series, but the Windies were certainly the much better team on paper.
@@chalkandcheese1868
It's only an illusion, there's no way the Aussies could have challenged the WI of 70s, 80s & mid 90s however fit they were.
The WI were simply invincible & unbeatable those days.
@@adsdynamic9219 I was there son, it wasn't an illusion. They had an amazing win in Melbourne, mostly thanks to Hughes and Lillee, the Sydney test was a rain affected draw. If Australia had Lillee and Chappell on that last day in Adelaide, in my opinion, they would have won, or gone very close to it, but it was a great series.
Greenigh n Richards did not exchange even one word during partnership.
Jeff was quick
Those was days you can't beat the west Indian cricket team &there was great opener &great middle order batsman we were missing that kind of an team
Used to have a Indian player,name gundapa Vishwanath,very good bowler,allrounder.
😅
The aussies could not catch a cold that day..otherwise they might have gained the coveted frank worrell trophy given that they had won the boxing day match
Bacchus is not a test player he's a SHELL SHEILD player
Either the grounds were much larger in those days or the present day players are much stronger than the players from that era. It appears that hitting a boundary took a lot of strength! The ball rolls on and on but never reaches the ropes! Wow!
The bats are very different now. You mishit the ball now and it still goes for six a lot of the times for shots you would be caught with these older thinner blade bats. But also the bring in the boundaries with ropes now. That Adelaide Oval had long boundaries but short square of the wicket. Viv Richards, Gordon Greenidge and Clive Lloyd with the bats they use this decade would be hitting boundaries at will in the same game.
Yes the boundaries are in from the fence now, a long way in on the straight boundaries, and the bats are much bigger but now heavier and hit the ball harder and longer. Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards were more powerful than most players today.
Back in those days Australia & west indies rivalry spectacular. Australia can never find another pair like Thompson & Lillie pace like fire. WEST INDIES throwing the kitchen sink at them.
As a fan of the West Indies, the Australian fast bowlers used to give me nightmares
Denis Lili did not bowl in 2 nd innings?
Very pleasant commentary, the best we have is the irritating Harsha bhogle
on an adult-size field.
No sound!!!
❤beautiful cricket and match. Thank you very much publisher.
Great upload,can you upload the full game ?
The days when Men were Men!👍🏖️
Nice work mate fills the missing gap!
Thanks Lawrie- also uploaded the Aussie collapse early in the day. If the Aussies had taken even some of their catches, the Windies unbeaten record would have been short lived
क्लाइव लॉयड the actual leged of 🏏, बड़ा शुकून मिलता है ऐसे हीरो को देखकर।
Was that the most catches ever dropped in an innings?
Was there no limit to the number of substitute fielders teams could use at that time ?
Poor Australian fielding cost them the match
Maybe so. But they didn't start dropping catches 'til about 50 runs to get. But then u wouldn't know if the Windies would've lost their remaining 5 wickets after even if Pascoe would've caught Bacchus. All you Aussies go on as if u would've won the match, after those catches not been taken from that period.
Pascoe
Bothsides have legendary players stars of all time in these days cricket is realy look like cricket
Jean Cowcahran you are mistaken about the whole scenario about Lloyd in 1972, when he was dropped from the WI team. Because he was performing very poorly so he was replaced by Lawrence Rowe,it was a toss up with him and Alvin Kallicharran and. Rowe 224 or 227 against New Zealand and got the selection over Alvin Kallicharran, because he played in the president 11 at Jarrett Park in Montego Bay and scored 133.The team was captain by Sir Garfield Sobers so, what you are saying about that Forbes Burnam took away the captain from Sobers. Nothing does not goes like that at all,in 1972 I was 17 years of age so I know what am saying. I watched that test match from start to finish, so go back and do some research. It is 51 years ago since that happened my dear,I guessed you were too young to know what was going on. You only hear from people, so get your facts straight young lady, ok.
Pure cricket.you never feel bore to watch repeatedly. Great westindies team.
Pathetic and shocking fielding by Australia!!!!
Adelaide oval had the longest straight boundary in the world. Today all that has been ruthlessly destroyed in the name of redevelopment.
Lots of comments about legends playing, non legends not exactly moving up the ladder in the field.
G8t footage!
Used to listen to audio of the game,
When the bowler deliberatly attacks the batsman with the ball why dont the batsman hit the bowler with the bat?
That is Clive lyold
Richards was out against Thompson ripper,not given.
I remember this match when Lloyd and dujon pilot us home.
The scoreboard rattling around at a merry old rate. 😂😂 barely 4 an over.
Was this west indies vs pakistan so many drop catches lol
Watsapp gb 3for I 0reggae know
Great lyod
shocking umpiring as usual.....that first caught behind off thomo defected about 20 feet to marsh, and the lbw shouts against greenidge and clive would probably be out with DRS.
9:30 - Gordon Greenidge invents the ramp.
Wonderful competitive cricket by two best sides. Pace bowling at its peak from both the sides & quite a few legend batters expressing their skill set - thanks for putting the video here in youtube.
We still remember those legends & all time greats ! 👌👌
Which year ?
1982, early February
We want some more man like this
Lloyd was so aggressive
I can't fathom what first slip is doing around the 5 min mark? who even is that?
Herculean effort by Australia to get so close, but they had too many mediocre players to get the victory.

To this day only hooper lara and probably chanderpaul are the only west indian batsmen who can properly play spin bowling
Nonsense!!! But maybe you are only 25 years old

@@janga75 goodness buddy: Sobers, Kanhai, Richards, Kallicharan, Three W’s….
All made runs in India… Greenidge started with a century there… Richards got centuries in his first series in India… Bedi, Venkat, Chandrasekhar Doshi etc etc.
Clive Lloyd 1st test in India, 82 and 70-odd n.o.
So I think More than Lara, Hooper and Chandi. The myth is that we couldn’t play spin.
@@mkirsia I stand corrected I should have named kanhai as well never saw too much of kallicharan even on youtube. Im afraid we have been pretty poor against spin for a couple decades now
@@janga75 That last bit is true. We have just been poor! 😔
Thats clive myad
Why was alvin Kallicharran not playing in this match ?
I believe Kallicharan retired in 1981 and then led a rebel West Indies team to South Africa. All players were banned for life by the Windies cricket board

Are you allergic to punctuation marks? What a load of rubbish which you have submitted. You should present factual evidence to buffet your opinion otherwise your post will be dismissed as mere speculation. And cease making WI cricket issues as one of Blacks v Indians. Our cricket problems go deeper than that, way deeper. Wheel and come again, Sir.
