- West Indies pace bowler Andy Roberts rips into the England batting taking 5 for 60 on day 1 of the 2nd test from lords on june 17th 1976
Andy Robert’s was such a great bowler. If 1973 to 1978 Robert’s was playing today he’d be the finest fast bowler on the planet. In this 1976 series against England Robert’s has to be at his peak.
Thank you for posting. So many memories. This is where I came in.
...same...great to see ..Andy Roberts..at peak..75-76...⚡️
Great to watch Andy n Michael together n the fiery combination starts
Andy Roberts was pure class. At his peak in this series.
Just look at the reflexes of the English batsmen, (especially Brian Close!) with no helmet against these deadly quickies of 'Windies! Simply brave& courageous British soldiers!?!❤️🙏🏏🌹
Brian Close - professional Yorkshireman and best player of fast bowling who ever lived, though not often with the bat..
He was definitely the bravest or toughest
...Michael Holding...the most graceful run-up in cricket history....
most laid back
Brutal shirt and tie you’re wearing there Richie!
Steele, looking about 50 and facing Roberts and Holding wearing glasses lol
He was BBC Sports Personality Of The Year in 1975
I was there first 3 days. Pity the Saturday was a washout .
I tell you theTv doesn't do justice to how quick Holding and Robert's wherein this test. And we sent Brian Close out to face this . Not just at Lords but Old Trafford. It's a miracle he survived.
@@neilsonlindsay2958 Brian Close must have been the bravest and most experienced of the available lot as no less a human could face the onslaught. A greater risk was taken by sending Colin Cowdrey against Thomson and Lillie as he wasn't as fit as Close appears in this innings.
Sir Gordon Greenidge
A very young-looking Dickie Bird umpiring!
He looks younger than Steel, Close and Brearley!
I reken WestIndies have shallowed their pride off after being so fearful and presice at once..............the kind of performance had showed here by Westindies in this match is beyond me judging their performance now-a-days.................any way really enjoyed this hotstile bowling by Windies great Sir Andy Roberts...............love to see his vintage bowling again.................
B
Vanburn holder and Bernard Julian bowling a back foot no ball every other ball!
I faced a fair few west indians 70s 80s in the durham senior league as a teenager could not afford a helmet no wonder iam baldy now happy times .walsh . Benjemen. Patterson . Parry spin . Many others this where they made good money themdays ...
This is the best West Indian team ever built
Viv Richards missed this test with the same illness that saw Holding below his best so the Windies were a batsman short.
Nonsense! The team led by Viv was definitely the best ever.
they had a better team once Marshall became the main bowler and Haynes was established as the opener. between 1980 to 1990 they were invincible. Started to decline slightly in the early 90s although it was 95 before they lost a series since in infamous NZ tour in 1980
BATSMEN FACING LIGHTNING FAST | THUNDER BOLTS... NO HELMETS... NO PROBLEM!
Would Tendulkar, Lara, Kohli, Kallis DARE FACE THESE GUYS (Without Helmets) AND SUCCEED? NO F'IN WAY...PONTING, MAYBE?
LONG LIVE VIV... LONG LIVE GAVASKAR.. MIANDAD.. G.POLLOCK...BARRY RICHARDS & OFCOURSE LONG LIVE SOBERS!
They were the best
I wonder what the combined age of that England team was? I would guess around 350 for the 11 players. I know players looked older back then, but it must have been one of the oldest England sides ever.
K d 99(99999o.

It looked like a veterans XI
in batting order 33 34 34 45 28 29 30 27 34 31 29 so your guess was only 4 out 354 the average age was 32 . Good job the 38 year old John edrich who celebrated his 39th birthday on the last day of this game wasnt playing. Ironically this was probably the final year by and large the youngsters werent given a chance as a first resort
All this without helmets!!!
07:33 I think the bowler has bowled a back foot no ball there. His back foot appears to have touched the return crease. Has Umpire Bird missed a no ball?
I love you Tony Greg but grovel that was not clever thing to say !! Rest in peace Tony miss your commentary and jonners and never for get Bill frindle Freddie Truman. Christopher Martin Jenkins Tony coser such a massive loss to cricket...
And of course Richie beno
It must be great batting against top bowlers(pace).they are trying to get you out. Not trying to keep the score down!
Benaud was actually very tall
He was also a very good let spinner
Vanburn Holder bowled faster than anyone we had that summer
Carmen you obviously know your cricket but I cannot believe that Vanburn bowled faster than "Whispering Death" Michael Holding!!!
Vanburn holder faster than Andy & holding. Eye blindness, winner of Helen Keller's award for seeing cricket with Braille machine.
Was good match
5:59 Funny- I thought that LBW rule change only came in later, about 1980....
No the LBW law was changed in 1972 :)
Just a white shirt and white trousers nothing else pure cricket today everything become a business dead cricket
A lot of West Indian no balls (back foot outside the return crease) including Knotty's play-on wicket, but Dickie only called one.
yes i noticed that
He was total prick and a bad umpire...
The English players look like koalas when wearing cap
0:02 ye bhisahab अभी जिन्दा है
Brearley.must of been 36 on debut.
34😊!
I was there...
...must HAVE been...😊
Brian Close was 45!!
@@JP1234815 45 and facing Michael Holding bowling beamers at his head. Brave chap.
of benn
Why did the England team have different style caps
?
Some of them are wearing the three lions & crown England home cap and others are wearing their MCC touring cap (St George & Dragon badge), which was then England's cap worn on overseas tours.
@@simongleaden2864 Presumably they had a choice which to wear?
Why there was no protection???😯🙁
They did wear pads and gloves. Some were a cap but I dont know
So Brearley could play a little.
Against that attack I think he did really well. Never seen these highlights before, but recall the series very well.
10:47 so this is what Samuel L Jackson did before hollywood!
Such an overrated bowler..whispering fart
You obviously know less than nothing about cricket so why enter the discussion ?
