Your youtube account has allowed me to learn so much about the game of cricket. I only started learning about the sport around five months ago, and I'm amazed at how many times I'll be searching for videos and I come across your account. Thanks for all the work in uploading these on UA-cam. I sincerely appreciate it.
I watched every minute of this series, same as I had done in the previous series going back to the India series in 1990. It was a hard watch sometimes. I had to grudgingly admire how good the Australians played throughout nearly all of the series and had to wonder why we played bloody awful for a lot of the series.
What's incredible about this series is Australia's paucity of pace bowling. McDermott kept breaking down, Merv was aging and a little tubbier (although still aggressive and dangerous) and reiffel a decent seamer and not much more. Their two spinners really carried the bowling attack. May's role really underrated. And they still managed to demolish us 🤣
yes of course I have it, but as per our previous discussion, i am on an upload strike to stop the money hungry Indian copy channels from profiting from my generosity. There is a limit to my goodwill....
Thanks your a legend, even though ive always been a staunch supporter of all english sport teams and certainly was rooting for england in this series this was the series which made me fall in love with cricket as a 9 year old kid growing up in a london council estate, that Australian ashes team of 1993 was just special probable the greatest test team i ever sore they had an incrediable team spirit that matched their amazing skill, imagine if McGrath was in that team.
wow!! for an hardcore Aussie fan like me . ur videos are just like a buffet of sumptuous desserts!! Keep rocking sir !! if possible could u please upload the videos of the tri series between Aus, Pak and kenya. There was one spectacular collapse by pakistan while chasing a meagre target. it was one of the best games!
Hughes bowling Gatting off the last ball of the day is probably my most enduring cricket memory. But I'm glad he hit, because he'd never get a chance to do it again. After bowling a bouncer from the last ball on most, if not all, occasions, he had one chance to fool a batsman with one pitched up. Hit or miss, from that point on, batsmen would always be wary.
Warne was for my money the best spin bowler of all time bar none. I know some will see Muralitharan had more wickets but for me Warne performed against the very best in the world at an incredible level for his entire career from his first ball to his last. Murali just didn't have that consistency against that kind of opposition for me. I respect Murali hugely and take nothing away from his brilliance but warne shades it for me. Damn them both, couldn't either of them had the decency to be born in england? Grrr :)
mymentor & BTW against the best in the world? Warne's record against India was mediocre, and he never had to bowl against his own team. Batsmen who got after him had a great deal of success.
mymentor India were never considered in the top ranked teams because they never won away from home. Having said that, they played spin better than anyone at home. Murali averaged 33 against India with the ball. Clearly not amazing success there, although better than Warne (47). HOWEVER, Murali took 40 wickets at 45 IN INDIA compared to Warne's 34 wickets at 43. Clearly foreigners generally don't have success bowling in India. Also Murali played a total of 25 tests against bangladesh and zimbabwe taking 176 wickets... Warne played a total of 3 tests against them for 17 wickets.
My first cricketing memory this series. I used to think I’d never grow up to see the Aussies defeated, but then I realised how BAD this England team was! 🤣
@@cricket023 Mine too. England had talent but chopped and changed way too much. The Aussie team was significantly better (esp batting) and played most of the series with just one fast leading bowler (Hughes) as McDermott got injured early on. They had the genius of Warne as well of course.
@@paulrichardson9843 Yup England chopped and changed too much. In my opinion Graeme Hick should have played more for England. Robin Smith was a fine batsman as well but played too less.
Pretty much the most one sided test series I've ever witnessed. We were so poor it was humiliating; totally outclassed. The only crumb of comfort was Gooch's batting; without him it would have been even worse somehow!
This series started my love for cricket; Love the commentators back in the day - no shouting their heads off when a wicket goes down. Even when the ball of the century is delivered they allow themselves to be shocked and confused!
😂 😂 I started trying to bowl legspin after seeing this as an 11 year old. I'm still trying now!😅 You're right though, the commentary is excellent, Tony Lewis superbly smooth, Chappelli accurate and forthright. I also love the little inset screen to show the batsmen running and the fielder at the same time, that feature ought to be brought back. And also the lack of pointless graphics so we can see they actual cricket....
apart from the obvious shane warne, i remember tim may and peter such having a good series; the constant changes in line ups for england. remember reiffel doing well and merv being hostile. and gooch being brilliant + thorpes debut hundred. but really - it was all about warnie. watched nearly every single ball of that series and had learned to bowl leg spin and googlies with both hands. and flippers with the right hand thanks to richies on air description of how to bowl them, by the time the series had ended. and also geoffery boycotts encyclopedic knowledge of how to play cricket. amazing time in my life.
Robin Smith was clueless against the Australian spinners in this series. It really was the beginning of the end of him as a Test player. Don't think he was ever the same player again when he got dropped for the final Test match at the Oval.
Yep. Smith was an excellent batsman against pace but he couldn't handle spin bowlers at all. If I remember he got one good score of 86 in this series but otherwise he didn't score many runs at all. I don't think he played for England again after this series?
@@1980extremeG He did play for England for few more years but he was in an out the side until the end of the tour to South Africa in 95/96 when he was dropped for good. I basically think Warne and May demolished his confidence in the '93 Ashes and he was never the same player again. He had also struggled against the Indian spinners during England's tour there in early '93.
@Prodigy_Fan Yeah I think this series ruined his confidence thereafter. This England cricket team was dire, particularly the bowlers who were not up to test standards. They kept changing the team after each test which also didn't help matters.
@@1980extremeG I agree with all that. The likes of Martin Bicknell, Mark ilott and Steve Watkin (although he helped us win the 6th test) were not Test class bowlers. Cracking county ones but I don't think they particularly feared the Australian Test batsman in the '93 Ashes. Andy Caddick also didn't look up to it and he himself suffered the axe during the series but he later proved himself at Test level. It wasn't really until the final Test of the series when Devon Malcolm and Angus Fraser came back into the side that we had the firepower to trouble the Aussie top 6. And of course they helped us win that final Test.
@Prodigy_Fan Yeah I agree, the likes of Malcolm, Caddick and Fraser were capable of good bowling spells but lacked consistency. And that's what Australia had that we didnt; basically better players who performed consistently. The Ashes is more of an even contest these days though, thankfully.
Good job uploading this Robelinda. I will watch it bit by bit. I hope Warney's ball to dismiss Robyn Smith a few balls after the ball of the century is on. Thanks
Caddick was a frustrating bowler. When he was on form he could get bounce and move the ball away off the seam at a brisk pace. When he wasn't bowling well he was easy pickings for a top side like Australia.
So true, Caddy had about a 10 run difference to his bowling average between the first and second innings. Primarily struggled to find the right length, but when his tail was up the bounce and movement he could extract from the pitch made him near unplayable
You're probably right about the standards of umpiring, although I always think the English umpires were more colourful characters than their Australian counterparts.
I was at Headingley for the second day and David Boon was out LBW just after the start of play but on this video that's been missed out unfortunately. If you look at about 52 mins, when the first day ends Boon and Border are batting, but when the second day starts Steve Waugh is batting.
The Lord's test was brutal from an England perspective. Probably our worst ever defeat on home soil. Definitely our worst bowling performance on home soil.
I doubted Warne's spot in the test side just before the 1992/93 series, but he proved me wrong as he picked up 7/52 in the 1992 Boxing Day Test against the likes of Desmond Haynes, Brian Lara, Richie Richardson Jimmy Adams and Carl Hooper. Even at the start of the 1993 Ashes Series, I was still a bit concerned about his form, but he proved me wrong yet again, picking up 34 wickets at an average of 25 odd. After that series, a star was born! WARNE YOU LEGEND!
Rob, I think it was 2005 Ashes. Shane warne - Petersen conversation. Hey Warnie wat are you thinking?...SW: I am thinking of bowling you round the wicket! n he did it in 3 balls..can u upload tat? or wud it violate copyrights, must b available on dvd s that series!
I hear this was the series where Warne made his name as a world-class spinner and had a purple patch during 1993-95 where he took a tonne of wickets. I hear that Ch9 also televised this series. Do you have that infamous incident where Ian Chappell said something colourful on air?
We could have done with Beefy at his peak playing in this ashes series!! It would have been a lot closer!! Australia were just too good for us. In fact they were too good for 18 long painful years!!
I was seeing Ashes stats and overall Australia just won, 1 series more than England, how did this happen if Australia were good over England for 18 years?
@@venchingfu well we won 4 out of 5 series from 2009 to 2015 but I’m not sure about dominating like Australia did. Maybe in the early days?? Anyhow I don’t want to see one team really dominating against another because that’s so boring. An example is the 2001 Ashes. That was so boring because Australia were so good.
@@mrkipling2201 ok as an Indian due to colonial history i love to see England getting beaten again and again, i supported England in 2005, i dont know why, maybe i got bored of Australia winning everything and anything.
@nottellingu0 Hayden Langer Ponting Clarke Martyn Hussey Gilchrist Warne Lee McGrath Gillespie I was nearly going to swap Shane Watson in for Damian Martyn because I think no one really rates Watson. Then I realised that I don't either
Remember watching this back when i was a teenager. Bloody hell we (England) were an abysmal side in this series; totally outclassed in every department. I mean there is absolutely no mitigation here; this Australian team (particularly the batting top order) were so far superior it was humiliating for us to watch!
back when highlights were skilled artistic pieces, punctuated with insight. stroke montages with classical music. quintessentially English. pass me a cucumber sandwich and a Pimms please.
not enough aussie highlights considering we flogged the shit out of you. amazing when you consider the fact we had to get quite a few of your blokes out twice!
It's hardly surprising that you thrashed us because we (England) were dreadful back then. We had some talented batsmen but our bowlers were abysmal; totally bang average. So Australia deservedly won convincingly; no arguments there. However, the ashes is more of an even contest these days...
@@1980extremeG it’s a shame Darren Gough didn’t play in this series it would have made a difference. We wouldn’t have won the series because Australia were too good but his bowling quality and his fighting attitude would have rubbed off on the team and maybe stopped them playing as badly.
@@mrkipling2201 Yeah I agree, Goughy was probably our best bowler in the 90s, he was definitely talented but in my opinion most of our other bowlers were pretty dreadful so he alone wasn't enough to make a massive difference. Worse still were the England selectors; they radically changed the team line up EVERY test which was a terrible approach that clearly unsettled the players, and it showed in the hopeless test performances, particularly against the Aussies. The 90s was English crickets darkest era!

This is my all-time favourite ashes series. As an Australia fan, I miss the 1990's when we used to snot England allover the place.
Bloody hell mate I don’t. How England still had any fans at the end of this decade is a miracle. We were shite

@@1980extremeG it’s a shame Darren Gough didn’t play in this series it would have made a difference. We wouldn’t have won the series because Australia were too good but his bowling quality and his fighting attitude would have rubbed off on the team and maybe stopped them playing as badly.
@@mrkipling2201 Yeah I agree, Goughy was probably our best bowler in the 90s, he was definitely talented but in my opinion most of our other bowlers were pretty dreadful so he alone wasn't enough to make a massive difference. Worse still were the England selectors; they radically changed the team line up EVERY test which was a terrible approach that clearly unsettled the players, and it showed in the hopeless test performances, particularly against the Aussies. The 90s was English crickets darkest era!
