I’m a huge fan of the 80s Windies fast bowlers but Hadlee is equal to that. Great to watch, the movement he would get. Grew up watching him and still miss him and that era. Great team NZ had then. As an Aussie kid we just could not understand how NZ could beat us.
After that game I had a customised 'Hadlee for President' tee shirt and wore it as often as possible....destroying Australia in Australia..could not get better than that for a Kiwi.
The secret to why he was such a great bowler lies within where exactly his body was at delivery stride.
Childhood hero. Mimicked his action and his mo.
Has there ever been a technically better bowler than Hadlee? His action was ridiculously good
Curtly Ambrose.
Only Trueman, in my opinion, had an action as classical. Although, with the back foot law, Trueman hadmore of a drag
The closest bowler i have seen in terms of control is Glen McGrath.
Greg Mathews was spot on. He carried the Kiwis for years and with the hopes of NZ. Only the very best can do that.
When was Ian Chappel ordained?
The Church of Chappelli....what is going on there?
He took 33 wickets in that 3 test series in 85/86. Phenomenal.
Great kiwi
Such a smooth action in his bowling and great player
Best bowling action ever with Ambrose.
Didn’t know Ian Chappell was a priest
Not just a good bowler. A great allrounder. Completed the quartet of Kapil, Imran, Botham and himself.
And a good bloke, one of my favorite cricketers, and i'm an Aussie.
Hadly and kapildev were also very good bowlers..
fantastic cricketer
Richard is quite tall, maybe 6'4", not genuinely quick like Thomo, but quick enough to close down the batters options.
Bit of bounce and consistently hitting the seam.
He was very good at analyzing batters, finding their weak spot, setting a trap, and implementing it.
With great success.
He was 6 foot 1
one of the greatest bowlers of all time
Without Richard Hadlee in the side, i doubt New Zealand would've won any match in 1980s. That's how great he was.
Oddly enough, despite bowling very well, Hadlee took no wickets at all in New Zealand's first win in England
As a New Zealander, I agree we wouldn't have won much if anything if Hadlee had not been in the team.
As a note to the other comment about Hadlee not taking a wicket in that first test win in England, that is absolutely correct and unheard of for Hadlee. He bowled very well in that match, beat the bat regularly, but luck just wasn't with him.
Oddly enough however, I'm pretty certain he top scored with the bat in that match out of both sides. So he certainly made up for the lack of wickets. He also topped the averages for both batting and bowling for the entire test series across both sides
A great bowler with perfect accuracy. I love him very much. Newzelanders are always humble
3:50 dude even swung the ball from a spinner run up😮
yeah , he is the defintion of a seamer
A great swing bowler unmatchable.
He was not a swing bowler...lol
@@paulrasmussen3858 His autobiography is literally called "Rhythm and Swing"
Bowls close to the stumps and greet action.
Hadlee > Lillee.
IMO top 5 bowlers since 1950 are Marshall, Hadlee, McGrath, Ambrose, and Steyn. I'd probably have Lillee somewhere in the next 20. Probably.
@@chriswatson7965, have you seen him bowling ??? He was very good bowler..
@@SanG-tc3gb I was brought up on Lillee, though I didn't get to see much of the Packer matches because I lived in a rural area and we only got the ABC. He was spectacular and charismatic, and very determined. At the time he was all that Australia had. But, he lived in an era of cricket in Australia that was essentially amateur, and everything he did he had to learn himself. You'll note that the 5 bowlers that I selected all came after Lillee. Of these Hadlee and McGrath were directly inspired by Lillee. Marshall indirectly through the move towards fast bowling that Lillee inspired in the WI, and Steyn was inspired by Marshall. So Lillee has an large legacy. However his overall figures fall below that of many other bowlers, and from personal observation, when things didn't go his way he would become quite emotional, stubborn, and frustrated often to the detriment of his bowling. To the point where he would use all sorts of tricks to try and take a wicket, including kicking batsmen to upset them. His best bowling returns came when at the end of his career when he was much slower and only a touch over medium. The biggest problem with his figures is that he barely played a match outside of Australia outside of the ashes and failed in Pakistan and WI. He is also the reason for the rule that when a bowler is off the ground he must be on it again for a length of time before bowling again, because it got the stage that virtually the only time he would be on the field would be to bowl otherwise he'd be in the air-conditioning sipping cool drinks.
In short very self-promoting, a very good bowler but short of the truly greats
🔥🔥🔥
4:09, so this is where Shastri stole his 'like a trace bullet' comment from. Lol
Hadlee is one of the greatest ever. In my opinion he is below Lillie and not many others.
👋 dad! NAMASTETHANK
What is amazing is that the difference between an all-time great bowler and one that will never even be selected for International cricket is just 1 cm of extra movement, or 5 kph of additional pace.
The difference is CONSISTENTLY getting that 1cm of extra movement or 5kph of additional pace
Nah.
Control and being able to read a batter and find that weak spot.
Ask him if he shared the proceeds of the sale of that expensive coupe, he won in OZ, with his team mates
FO
Sir Richard Hadley never faced west indies master blasters like Viv Richard so he is a local lad
Hadlee avoided coming to south asia as the wickets didn’t suite his bowling, I would keep Kapil & Imran ahead of him since they got wickets on unfavorable wickets
Please go and look at his record in the subcontinent. 68 wickets at an average of 21.5.
Also, in 1988 he came to India and inspite of playing just 2 out of 3 tests, he picked up 18 wickets at an average of 14. Kapil Dev picked up just 10 wickets at an average of 24 and played all 3 tests.
As a bowler Hadlee is above and beyond Kapil. Imran I feel is comparable to Hadlee as a bowler.
@@beefy1986 even ik is better bowler than kd he is batting alrounder
@@beefy1986 ik have bowling avg of 20.20
@@shahzaibahmad9327 Imran had a bowling average of 22
After Hadlee saw total destruction of his hero Lillee in Pakistan, he started avoiding tours to Pakistan. In 80s NZ toured Pakistan 3 times, but Hadlee didn't join the team lol. Mcgrath and Marshall were much better than Lillee and Hadlee

not Lillee
@@brentinnes5151 Outside of Aus n Eng, Lillee was just a club level bowler hehe.
Without *Hadlee,* NZL cricket wouldn't of existed on the rector scale
