Channel Nine had probably the greatest commentary team ever put together. Nothing but respect for Chappel, Benaud, Greig and Lawrie. Real masters of their craft.
The most perfect cricketing visuals with the iconic theme. Cricket never got better than when it was broadcast on channel 9 with world-class commentators that all rational fans of cricket, Indians included, were in love with.
That iconic intro music from Channel 9. Used to wait for the lunch interval just to hear that music if it was missed at the start of the day. Australians don't know what they ll miss from next season until they see the telecast from Fox and 7. Every piece of international cricket played in Australia has been free till 2018. What a shame it won't be from next season. Channel 9 and its legendary commentary team was an institution in itself. They ll be missed .
3 years on and still heart broken. I have a foxtel subscription but if the cricket was on channel 9 I would still watch free-to-air because of the commentary. Channel 7 doesn’t feel the same, ever since Richie and Tony left the squad it was never the same, especially without Richie at the helm. Hopefully one day the glory of the Australian summer will return to channel 9 and we’ll hear those trumpets singing out again.
It Won't be the same anymore...bill lawry has also retired...channel 7 commentary is so pathetic.. I still can't imagine that channel 9 is no more involved in cricket😔
Same. What ever happened to the good old days? Nine had the cricket for more than 40 years. When nine lost the cricket, the cricket went down south. Nine decided to opt for the summer of tennis instead.
In South Africa we get the fox feed I must admit I do miss the channel 9 guys the only fox commentator I like is skull just for he's infections giggle when he starts telling a story
Hahaha how good was that reaction from Vaughan upon seeing Slats go bananas?! Great video, great memories. Growing up with our summer of cricket on nine was just the best, thankyou Kerry Packer! Not the same anymore.
Lot of memories, use to wake up early in the morning in india, just to watch the channel 9 coverage, it was way way ahead of it times with graphics, magic markers and fantastic commentary team .. there was no dictats like we have from bcci these days for indian commentators :P
RIP 40+ years of International cricket x Channel 9 Wide World of Sports. I'll never forget the awesome opening of 1998. When growing up in the 90's, cricket on Channel 9 was a big part of it!
Great memories in winter time in pakistan wake up so early in the morning to watch channel nine coverage and listen 4 greatest commentators richie banaud bill lawry tony greg and ian chappell
We will miss channel 9 the greatest cricket Broadcasting Channel in the world I am from India whenever India tour to Australia I want to listen Australian commentary but I everytime Mrs channel 9 commentary because whenever India tour to Australia Star Sports telecast their commentary.
Hello Mansoor finally I found you i have the same feeling that you have .I like their cricket promos, m Bill lawery commentary, even their logo ... Good news for us is that now star lost the brodcasting rights to Sony .At least we can see highlights of the old games which india played in Australia ... And relive the action....
Used to wake up early in the morning at 5 am to watch the cricket from Down under on Star sports here in India. Star sports always used their own intro for cricket matches and we would be very lucky to watch the legendary channel 9 New Horizons music intro only after the lunch interval. Would be thrilled to watch it. And the commentators, the likes of Bill and Richie were legendary but kept themselves to only England and Australia. Tony and Ian Chappell were regularly invited to commentate on many Indian sports channels broadcasting cricket. Such was their liking here in India. Tony was so much loved after his legendary commentary during the Sharjah desert storm innings. It was as if Tony's commentary was as much famous as Sachin's innings during those matches. They will be missed badly. And the sad part for Indians is that star sports had all the rights of Australian matches and now that they have lost it, all the archive gold won't be shown on Indian television anymore. Sony doesn't have any of the old matches and I suspect and it won't ask channel 9 for old matches.
Disapointed in cricket australia selling the rights to foxtel who are only giving us test matches, women's games and the both BBL's, would have been nice to see some one day and t20 cricket on free to air but it's all about the money not the fans. Poor effort from cricket australia
When the men’s limited overs games were shown exclusively on fox, I was bitterly disappointed. I think they’ve broken the anti siphoning law of cricket coverage. Kerry Packer, Tony Gregg and Richie Benaud will be spinning in their graves if they find the cricket not on Nine.
I used to wake up at 4 or 5 am in India just to hear Channel Nine commentary and the entire telecast. Also got disappointed if I missed the start even by a minute as I wanted to hear every single word.
That iconic theme music is to Australian cricket as Soul Limbo is to the BBC. I'm surprised that you Aussies haven't adopted it yet as your second national anthem.
The greatest broadcaster with legendary commentators. Cricket will never be the same without channel 9 and that spine tingling theme at the start. I hope in some years down the line cricket will come to its true home.
My childhood and teenage was made beautiful and sweet by the channel 9 commentators,getting up early in the morning and listening to the likes of Tony Greig,Richie Benaud,Ian Chappell,Mark Nicholas(My favourite),Michael Slater,Mark Taylor,Ian Healy,Mark Waugh is just an amazing and unmatchable feeling.The excitement and the enthusiasm would double my energy to be involved in the game while watching on television.🔥🔥🔥
This is truly a great video and brings back so many memories. Missing Mark Waugh's blinders from the montage lessen the vid a little bit. Any of the sensational catches that he took, from leaping to grab Cairns at WACA to gobbling up Inzi's fully throttled nick at Bellrive, deserved to be in the montage.
Where Packer and Hill created. The World followed. R.I.P. Richie. R.I.P. Tony. Thank Yiou and Farewell Channel Nine Cricket. You did not create a LEGEND. You were the LEGEND.
The day when Channel 9 lost the rights to the summer of cricket, it was game over. Nine gained the rights to the Summer of Tennis. Seven and Fox gained the rights to the cricket.
Going to miss the antics in the Commentary Box. Hope the new commentators will carry on with the same lighthearted banter. Thanks for the memories. It was great fun listening to Richie, Bill, Tony and the rest of the boys.

I stopped watching cricket after it was sold to Channel Seven. The commentary after the good old days of Benaud, Grieg, Lawry have become sterile. Sad.
7 or fox should retain the new horizons theme as it is iconic for australian cricket summers or a variation of it. Why hasnt Channel 9 done a special to look back on it's 40 seasons of cricket. There's a lot there and the history of world series cricket.
I really love this channel, it was a nice and a wonderful channel better from the stupid FOX SPORTS.I should only say Nine's Wide World Of Sports is better and greater than Fox Sports.
mansoor bhai, same feeling here,since 1999 indias tour of austrailia i was very eager to watch playing india in australia on lush green big grounds,with the commentory of richie ,bill,tony,chappel but because of star sports my wish never fullfill. Because of sony i thought now my wish would fulfill but again channel 9 lost the rights. foxtel and seven r very poor channel .
Damn that last Aussie side was so arrogant Warner, Lyon,smith, siddle, Harris, haddin, johnson & co. So glad they were humbled when they went to england. Hopefully a even bigger defeat coming up. Broad will come off four steps & still knock Warner over for fun, Marnus all of a sudden looks vulnerable, head still struggles against the moving pill, handscomb & Carey are short on runs & smith struggled massively in india.

respect for Mark Taylor and Slater (as a commentator only).

You must don't know about monkeygate incident and then poor umpiring and visuals from channel nine since you are pleasing them.
We appreciate your respect, Anupam. Go well :-)

End of an Era --- Channel 9 commentary was the best ever commentary, Even Asians used to ignore their national TV for Channel 9.
Such a great Australian tradition. That Nine WWS cricket tune just takes me back to my childhood. What a great game!
Lot of memories, use to wake up early in the morning in india, just to watch the channel 9 coverage, it was way way ahead of it times with graphics, magic markers and fantastic commentary team .. there was no dictats like we have from bcci these days for indian commentators :P

Will surely miss all .......

literally the video of my childhood.
Earlier matches colour and stump microphone sound was mesmerized, without boundary rope ground looks neat and clean

Finally a person from India a person who is against Sony
Star sports needs to learn from channel 9 and sky sports how to make this kind of music

At least it’s better than Sony

@Analog TV Channel 7 should get the every cricket live instead of Foxtel
Anti-siphoning list
true
and what cricket australia say is "the way of how you watch cricket is changing"
they're the ones changing it, it doesn't have to change.
I blame the liberal government, i see murdoch corruption in all of this. This deal is illegal yet the government dont care.
When the men’s limited overs games were shown exclusively on fox, I was bitterly disappointed. I think they’ve broken the anti siphoning law of cricket coverage. Kerry Packer, Tony Gregg and Richie Benaud will be spinning in their graves if they find the cricket not on Nine.
Miss u channel 9.. Miss u Tony Greig. Ian cheppal. Bill Lowery.. Voice of Great commentator all time. 😰miss u
BILL LAWRY THE GREATEST CALLER EVER!!!!
He's definately up there boss, about that there can be no argument. What a team this was - Benaud, Chappell, Greig and Lawrie!!
Will miss the channal nine .. best ever sports brodcasters .. Gold
End of an era
Channel 9 cricket theme like the NBA on NBC theme in the 90s - such nostalgia, a throwback to the good old times.
"Thish has been another presentatshun from Nine's Wide World of Shports."
- Richie Benaud.
Now 7 is gonna make most cricket only accesable with pay to air TV! We will miss you channel 9!
I used to wake up at 4 or 5 am in India just to hear Channel Nine commentary and the entire telecast. Also got disappointed if I missed the start even by a minute as I wanted to hear every single word.

What a beautiful presentation. Brought a tear to my eyes a couple of times.
I loved the energy back in those days
Channel 9 ❤️ Cricket down under...hope this partnership will be back soon...
Miss you nine... Miss you Richie, Bill and Tony...
Super channel 9 , Bill Lawy , Richie all legends
My childhood and teenage was made beautiful and sweet by the channel 9 commentators,getting up early in the morning and listening to the likes of Tony Greig,Richie Benaud,Ian Chappell,Mark Nicholas(My favourite),Michael Slater,Mark Taylor,Ian Healy,Mark Waugh is just an amazing and unmatchable feeling.The excitement and the enthusiasm would double my energy to be involved in the game while watching on television.🔥🔥🔥
Legend Richie Benaud
Beautiful music of channel 9
9s coverage is just not the same without Richie, Tony & Bill. Time to go

Bill lawry discountinued after channel 9 stopped broadcasting or else he would be still doing commentary even now!!
What super bill and Richie AUS dominated the cricket 🏏 long live channel 9 👏👏👏👏
Long live channel 9 👏👏 Rip Richie rip Tony😔😭
I still miss Nine’s cricket coverage more and more with every passing year
channel 9 was benchmark of commentry all channels come after 9
The day when Channel 9 lost the rights to the summer of cricket, it was game over. Nine gained the rights to the Summer of Tennis. Seven and Fox gained the rights to the cricket.
Hopefully we get to see Channel 9 broadcast Australian cricket again
I despise channel 7...
"And what a catch!-now are you ready for mkr!" How horrible screw 7.
Fox Cricket
That Michael Slater moment "THAT IS A BLINDER FROM NATHAN LYON!!!!!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣
Going to miss the antics in the Commentary Box. Hope the new commentators will carry on with the same lighthearted banter. Thanks for the memories. It was great fun listening to Richie, Bill, Tony and the rest of the boys.
will always miss channel 9 hope channel 7 is just as good
What a music channel 9 my childhood i listen this intro now miss you
I want a Rexona weather watch!! This is classic. Even as an England fan I love it.

Will miss badly Bgm absolutely delightful as commentators voice those days
Just watched the highlights of 2nd final CB Series 2008 and came here straight after that
The tennis is now on Channel 9
The cricket is now on Channel 7 and Fox
Channel 9 was the home of Aussie cricket before Fox came along.Loved it for Richie Benaud, Tony Greig and Neville Oliver.
Where was bill Lawry commentary in the 92 final wicket?
channel 9 was the best thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!
My all time channel 9 commentators Richie benaud bill lawry mark Nicholas and Ian Chappell and also Ian healy
Amazing
2:55, Bill was right, and how right he was!
And at @2:00 too
Going to be honest after a couole of years of Fox Cricket and Seven's coverage...
I miss Channel Nine.
I stopped watching cricket after it was sold to Channel Seven. The commentary after the good old days of Benaud, Grieg, Lawry have become sterile. Sad.
Well , looks like CA and channel 7 are not having the best of relations
Maybe , just maybe
I would be on top of the world
I wonder why Ponting wasn't featured in the video. Also Warnie's 700th was missing.
There was a couple of shots by Ponting.
@@xanpenguin754 That's not enough especially when how much of a towering figure he has been in Australian and world cricket.
@@NitishR14 It's a video that goes for under four minutes. Jesus.
hello welcome to the shecond day of thish benshon and hedgesh tesht match here at the EmSheeJee between aushtralia... and the wesht indies!
If only the ball tampering was on channel 9
It was with Shahid Afridi thinking the ball was an apple
Bailey Cortes then you would've seen South Africa fiddling with the ball as well!
Music taken from Dvorak’s New World Symphony, third movement.
Can you please upload highlights of the first white ball ODI?
Can't help but notice that as the years passed by the yelling and shouting also increased in the com box!
RIP Channel 9
RIP Warnie 💔
Gee I miss them just doesn’t feel right
The old days cricket is best
lol Vaughan's face on 3:30
3:29 TO 3:31 The best part....And Vaughan's face was hilarious...xD
Does any one please explain what happened to channel 9. I just love tony, bill, mark..
Fantastic 👏👏
I saw 3:26 live and I went crazy
Damn i miss them all in that box
Awesome Commentary by Australian like done by Sidhu in Hindi
missing the ripper
Channel 9, the causer of many to hearing loss after sitting through those screaming commentators
7 or fox should retain the new horizons theme as it is iconic for australian cricket summers or a variation of it. Why hasnt Channel 9 done a special to look back on it's 40 seasons of cricket. There's a lot there and the history of world series cricket.

1:07 "he's..... GOT 'IM!!!!"
Kinda surprised there was no Warnie 700 wickets, but still really good.
when will this type of coverage return
To me, wide world of sports = Shane warne
Tim David was the best moment
Sad. Why was Channel 9 shown the door? Why was it punished? Does minting money only guiding princple of Cricket Australia?
mark my word, if anyone ever calls the channel 9 commentary team "pale, male and stale" youll never watch cricket again

Bill lawry most exciting commentaor
all great except for 3:30, can't stand new commentary team
yeah, it was just like a bunch of new obnoxious commentators trying to relive the glory days. ever since grieg died, it was never quite the same
@@Rohanbhal_30you can see the massive void after Tony Greig and Richie Benaud passed. After Nine lost the cricket, commentary wrnt downhill.
