Yes, the total needed by England was unachievable. Alan Ward superb: that's what true cricket is all about! Grit, guts, determination and persistence, eh Sir Geoff!
Tony did not make them grovel but he showed spirit and fought hard. Awesome Windies though. Complete turn around from the smashed players in 1975 on Australia to a ruthless test team for years to come. Awesome stuff
What I like about Greigy is that he fired back against Boycott when Boycott criticised him.Tony strongly implied that Boycott was running scared away from the glut of very fast bowlers around at the time.Greig said that Boycott "seemed to be in places where there were NO fast bowlers.", or words to that effect.

Tony Grieg was a top player and much misunderstood especially during that series.
It was arrogant talk you only heard boxers talk like that in those days you're traditional English captain would've never said anything like that.

Alan Ward showing more guts with the bat than he ever did with the ball!
Spent more time on the treatment table than on the field. was unlucky with injuries
Great footage!
Yes, my thanks too!
i saw most of this series as it was played on t.v. as a kid. I have no memory whatsoever of Alan Ward, either in test or county cricket.
Great stuff...good memories
Basically, Grieg's post-match interview is him telling the nation he got his leg over.
Desmonds brought me here
Would love to see the first day highlights when West Indies scored 435 runs !
With 3 balls to go you call the game ?
Tony is now on the other side
Tail-enders wafting at balls two feet outside off stump.
Irritating subtitles
....Windies were already 2 up in the series...
No, it was 1-0 after the third test.
.....didnt the Windies win the series 4-0....how many tests did they play..?
@@chatham43 No it was 3-0. FIrst two tests were drawn and then WI won the last 3.
....OK...thanks for clearing that up....for many years I thought it had been a 5-0 whitewash....memory playing tricks I guess.....
@@chatham43 The blackwash was 1984. (And 1985-6).
