Still the most memorable Test debut in my lifetime was the one Brett Lee made here. I watched it happen live on TV and I became a superfan of his instantly. Can't believe this was 25 years ago now... where has the time gone? A fantastic Indian team we were up against too, and it's a testament to how extraordinary we were as a Test side that we swept this series. Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe festive season, wherever in the world you're from!
Gosh how were you guys so good! I'm glad we kind of started to show what we were capable of starting the next tour in 03/04. Still overall made for sad reading as an Indian fan growing up but looking back, these Australian players are all legends today so at least we weren't the only ones getting battered. 😅 Happy holidays and let's hope for a cracker of a boxing day test!
@@arvindhmani06 Second this comment. That generation of Aussie players were special. Every person was a legend in their role!! Hope this coming boxing day test will be an incredible battle between the sides!
Absolute gold of an upload! Those were the days when cricket peaked and a certain Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar was a one man army for India. This has to be one of his top 3 test hundreds considering the opposition, match situation and pitch. His battle of attrition against Glenn Mcgrath, in the early part of his innings, would have made this video even more special. I remember Ian Chappel comparing that battle to the battle between Lillee and Viv. Kudos to the channel for this!
Cricket doesn't have any individual battle like Tendulkar vs McGrath or Tendulkar vs Warne right now which is needed. Kohli vs Anderson was the last great battle which ended after Anderson's retirement.
It’s in that series where Lara hit a double century in the first innings and a century in second innings of a match and still SL won by 10 wickets, right?
Thanks for uploading this. Looking back at this, one can see the amount of in-confidence that the Indian team had. Sachin alone could only do that much.
In last 6 years India hasn't lost a boxing day test match against Australia at Melbourne cricket ground. MCG is lucky venue for Indian team players.India team is favourite to win boxing day test match
Brett Lee is definitely the G.O.A.T for me. That Bowling action with the Pace he generated and Swing was immaculate. He was the Best of Both Worlds. And one of the Best Guys off the field as well. A True Legend!
The first 8 minutes of this video is just peak Cricket royalty and a great nostalgia trip. Sachin's comment at 3:36 typified his woeful "leadership" at the time.
summary of that era for Indian cricket... Tendulkar vs the opponents... he was the lone fighter most times, & then people said he wasn't a match winner... well, cricket's a team game, one performer can't win you matches.
Until the 90s it was only Sachin who used to carry the entire burden of the team on his shoulders!!Later Dravid and VVS and Sehwag and Ganguly started consistently performing and became the fab 5 of Indian batting
Sachin's best test hundred. Better than the 114 at the WACA and the 136 in Chennai in my opinion. Expected to see more highlights of that innings and more of Brett Lee as well tbh.
Wondering whether could see any tests where Gavaskar isnt commentating 😏 feel like B.C. stuff he is there talking in any test match which I see when India is playing 😟..
90's era Indian fast bowlers used to bowl at speeds in the late 120s to early 130s (kmph). At that pace, winning Test matches in Australia was impossible!
Sachin Tendulkar want Ajay Jadeja and vinod kambli in this test series but india chief selector didn't allow and india horrible batting display full series particularly Rahul Dravid and Ajit agarkar.
Aus did not lose any test series at home between 1988 and 2008 ,almost 20yrs. Windies bowlers did in 1988 Safrican bowlers did in 2008. Once again shows ,how a good battery of pace bowlers is needed to win in Aus .
Chokli and other players ko Sachin sath compare kr rhe he log and Sachin warne kese pel rha he ans yha me newzland normal spinner ke samne nhi khel pa rhe he 😂
When people take a dig at Sachin's captaincy it would always feel like a stupid talk for me.Seriously what is he going to do with players like that?Dravid and Laxman were newcomers and Ganguly was inconsistent in that time period.And the fast bowlers were literal nobodies(can't even touch 140kph consistently).Also the selectors had full authority over captain those days in Indian cricket unlike today(take this match for example.Sachin wanted Kambli in but the selectors ruled it out).One man was literally carrying the entire team and it's really idiotic to criticize his captaincy.Atleast Ganguly had Sachin and Dravid to build a team around them and Dhoni had best batters of the generation who were already legends in his team so that he could build and test youngsters around them in limited formats.
1:22:17 Blud leaving straight ball 😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂 Warra technique And His brainless Nostalgia merchants fan everytime criticise this generation player to make him superior 😑😐😑😐
Australia beat India at MCG in a Test in 1999 Australia beat India at MCG in a Test in 2003 Australia beat India at MCG in a Test in 2007 Australia beat India at MCG in a Test in 2011 In 2024 result will be same at MCG
I see nothing special from Brett Lee. Wayward deliveries only. Indians couldn't face straight bowling. They were done by speed, looked afraid. All were quality players except the 2 prasads. A lot of hard work seems to have been done to see foreign victories which were absent back then. Too funny that Sachin is trying to leave Warne again and again until umpire finally says enough is enough. He just replicated kanitkars shot. This team had so much potential but just didn't have faith and competitiveness.

Brett Lee was my fav in 2003 world cup and I was nervous about him the most heading into final. Thanks, you too have a good holiday season!

For sachin batting and indian performance we 80s 90s kids sat in front of tv in early morning.. beautiful days ...
Seriously, this is the best cricketing channel on UA-cam after Robelinda. This is pure Cinema!
Test hundred of the highest order...my god what an innings..The way he lofted Warne with ease was a sight to behold.. SRT is the GOAT
I’m 34 and I still remember this match watching with my Dad. Absolutely loved it. Aussies forever. ❤
Applaud by Gilchrist and shane warne after sachin century was so genuine that show the respect of Sachin tendulkar in world cricket.....
Cricket doesn't have any individual battle like Tendulkar vs McGrath or Tendulkar vs Warne right now which is needed.
Kohli vs Anderson was the last great battle which ended after Anderson's retirement.
How can u expect battles when u play in flat pitches 2 new balls and crazy rules 😂😂😂 small grounds
@@GanesharajaAbishekBCCI just wants to milk money using the popularity of Kohli and Rohit....
Head vs Bumrah?
@alerted0
Seriously?? Battles and rivalry happen over the years. Not just in 1 series
@@alerted0 Next???🤣😂😂
That Kumble drop was legendary
It was literally Sachin vs Australia 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What an Aura
Aura 999999999+
and now we have literally Travis vs India...
What an Aura
That pitch report by Tony greig was so precised !! How often do we see so much detailed analysis about the pitch these days?
Honestly I wish we would see better analysis for Aussie pitches, really miss the channel nine days
Period where Tendulkar and Lara carried their team. Not long after remember WI touring SL where Lara got 600 runs and WI lost 0-3
It’s in that series where Lara hit a double century in the first innings and a century in second innings of a match and still SL won by 10 wickets, right?
Thanks for uploading this. Looking back at this, one can see the amount of in-confidence that the Indian team had. Sachin alone could only do that much.
Phew, bowling 150 on his debut, he was truly special ❤❤
Sachin was the lone fighter others went to Australia to enjoy vacations
This is called the real best vs best ☠️☠️.
38:47 Never seen crowd cheering like this for a bowler on his debut ❤ love it❤
Best test hundred.
*Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar* ❤
Test cricket peak :
Tendulkar🗿 Lee💀
Dravid🥶 Warne🥵
Ganguly🔥 Ponting😈
Kumble🤫 McGrath🤯
Laxman😇 Gilchrist😁
Lol
SRT scoring centuries and runs from one end,and wickets falling from another end that was the story of 90s 😢😢
Laxman dravid Tendulkar & Ganguly 🤯
In last 6 years India hasn't lost a boxing day test match against Australia at Melbourne cricket ground. MCG is lucky venue for Indian team players.India team is favourite to win boxing day test match
Having watched these matches live, this video brings a gripping sense of nostalgia that I cannot describe in words.
This is awesome Boxing Day 1999 it’s Australia vs India at the MCG.
1:48 brett lee debut and rest is history 💀🗿
Brett Lee is definitely the G.O.A.T for me. That Bowling action with the Pace he generated and Swing was immaculate. He was the Best of Both Worlds. And one of the Best Guys off the field as well. A True Legend!
the best board of cricket in the world..❤ACB.
You mean CA
Afghanistan Cricket Board?
Golden Period of OZ cricket 1990/2007 And plus Channel Nine commentary wow really those were the days
49:52 That duck animation when someone was out for 0 was the best
Golden days of cricket were before 20/20 format.
The first 8 minutes of this video is just peak Cricket royalty and a great nostalgia trip. Sachin's comment at 3:36 typified his woeful "leadership" at the time.
He said "it's difficult for batsman to go on and off the field, because of conditions". What's in that statement?
Brett Lee 🥶🥶🥶
37:14 brett lee 😮
Legendary Channel nine commentary team .
When these clips give you a different level of happiness. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you cricket Australia.
Mcgrath was so unbelievable with pace of 125-135 kph he posed all sorts of problem.
summary of that era for Indian cricket... Tendulkar vs the opponents... he was the lone fighter most times, & then people said he wasn't a match winner... well, cricket's a team game, one performer can't win you matches.
Umpires those days favoured oz right left and centre...robbed india of many wickets
Where is that article about this innings of Tendulkar?
Such a great memory ind vs aus Boxing Day test match 🇮🇳 🇦🇺 ❤
Do you have anything from the 1980/81 series?
waiting..❤
Best series for me 😍
Until the 90s it was only Sachin who used to carry the entire burden of the team on his shoulders!!Later Dravid and VVS and Sehwag and Ganguly started consistently performing and became the fab 5 of Indian batting
Sachin of the 90s is like Bumrah of the current generation! One man army!
Sachin's best test hundred. Better than the 114 at the WACA and the 136 in Chennai in my opinion. Expected to see more highlights of that innings and more of Brett Lee as well tbh.
No Commentary Panel of any country can match the level of that Channel Nine Greatest ever commentary team
Brilliant uploads
Thank you cricket Australia for this. Thank you.
Brett Lee 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great test match. Great debut Brett Lee
I love Australia my country Bangladesh
During my childhood I was always surprised how _STEVE_ _WAUGH_ could bat with eyes closed. We would rarely open his eyes. Anybody felt the same?
Aussies 🔥😉
Richie Benaut on the big screen was hilarious
47:42 150.5 speed 133.2 😮😮😮
Classic match
effin sucks how i thought warne would be the new benuad, rip shane
45:28 india debut man 😮😮 vs mcgrath
I use to read the name of Brett Lee in the paper who use to pick 3 -4 against India in practice matches.
39:12 brett lee 133.9 speed to 161.1 😮😮
looked at star sports and sighed
Imagine that Aus team had current India Media
Pls upload odi matches
Who will bowl bret lee like lethal spell from current Aussie bowlers at MCG?
Wondering whether could see any tests where Gavaskar isnt commentating 😏 feel like B.C. stuff he is there talking in any test match which I see when India is playing 😟..
1:32:00 153.8 😮😮
Cricket Australia love you❤
What an innings by SRT.
90's era Indian fast bowlers used to bowl at speeds in the late 120s to early 130s (kmph). At that pace, winning Test matches in Australia was impossible!
Amazing
Debutant Brett Lee seem to be a lot of trouble for the so called legendary Indian batters..what a gem of a bowler..
None of the batters barring Sachin had much of credibility around this time. Laxman career took off in a way with 167 he got in Sydney
Only sachin was the big name. Ganguly, Laxman,dravid were just into first phase of their career.
Sachin Tendulkar want Ajay Jadeja and vinod kambli in this test series but india chief selector didn't allow and india horrible batting display full series particularly Rahul Dravid and Ajit agarkar.
Aus did not lose any test series at home between 1988 and 2008 ,almost 20yrs.
Windies bowlers did in 1988
Safrican bowlers did in 2008.
Once again shows ,how a good battery of pace bowlers is needed to win in Aus .
Get a grip. Australia lost to Windies at home in 1992/93 series
Only team which didn't lose a home test series in 90s was India
Well Kumble absolutely outshone Warne in this test match
Cricket mai ek hi god rahega SIR SACHIN TENDULKAR 🙏
Sachin The GOD❤❤❤❤❤❤
Who’s remember the great umpire David Shepherd ❤
Sachin the og of cricket🛐
Im waiting
Thanks Cricket Australia for this masterpiece ❤
50:25 151.3 😮
Time when india had only one batsman
In the second innings, mark waugh out lbw three times to kumble, David shepherd was drunk
Brett Lee the best fast-bowler ever
51:55 sachin 100
Chokli and other players ko Sachin sath compare kr rhe he log and Sachin warne kese pel rha he ans yha me newzland normal spinner ke samne nhi khel pa rhe he 😂
Rip warne
Batsmen are so much better now.
36 pe all out hone wale better , spin nhi khelti ati unhe wo better
Anilkuble clear chach😢
God Of Cricket ❤

Greg Blewett… yes… yes he did…
I see nothing special from Brett Lee. Wayward deliveries only. Indians couldn't face straight bowling. They were done by speed, looked afraid. All were quality players except the 2 prasads. A lot of hard work seems to have been done to see foreign victories which were absent back then. Too funny that Sachin is trying to leave Warne again and again until umpire finally says enough is enough. He just replicated kanitkars shot. This team had so much potential but just didn't have faith and competitiveness.
