Len Pascoe Highlights Reel

[@enforcer1]

you were a fearsome competitor Len Pascoe, I loved watching you play over many summers. A great era for cricket indeed!

[@lenpascoe277]

It was a tough time it was no play no pay I survived it I was really no better than a lot of guys playing park cricket

[@lenpascoe277]

Allen in those days no play no pay so we had to put in WSC packer was all about a fair deal the players of today enjoy

[@nagugeddam4776]

In the late 70s and early 80s , the pacers from West Indies and Australia were just awesome. Like the current times, the wickets were not batsmen friendly and were mostly uncovered. They certainly offered more swing and bounce. On such wickets, the crop of fast bolwlers, unleashed by WI and Aussies, were such a treat to watch and it was a fullsome treat to a cricket fan. Len Pascoe with his body built like a Greek God and extremely good looks, aided by extreme brutal pace, made life very difficult for the batsmen. In the company of the great Lillee, Thomson, Pascoe formed a lethal force and was hostile. He just delivered thunder bolts at the batsmen and had had charmed reign as a bowler. Now days such bowlers are rare. Thankou for giving those memorable moments .

Never thought I would come across your channel Len - thanks for sharing the video, a true legend of the game

[@michaelparadisis4076]

Loved Lenny growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. A great bowler who should’ve played far more games for Australia.

[@basusoumik]

Thanks for sharing this. I started watching cricket bit late around 1984. Was not fortunate enough to see you live but heard and read so many things about you, Lillee and great Thommo. Love these footages which brings back great memories of past days when cricket used to have equalilty between batsmen and bowlers.

[@lenpascoe277]

It was interesting indeed we just had to keep up with the WI quicks

[@tobyrichardson1837]

Great stuff Lenny. This brings back great memories watching WSC when I was a boy. Your intensity and pace always brought the game to life. Love the showdown with Viv here, classic!

[@lenpascoe277]

Yes I had a bit of fun looking back to those years that went so fast

Len ,
That bouncer to Sandip Patil was extra ordinary . Probably , the best bouncer in cricket history . You are awesome . You've ruled the cricket pitch .

Sandeep went on to score a great Ton full of respect for him

[@rocka3743]

Thanks for the memories Lenny!.

[@ray.shoesmith]

Man I loved Lenny as a young kid. He was genuinely quick and had fire in his belly. Great upload.

[@lenpascoe277]

It was a lot of fun over so quickly I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@royp7541]

Must have bowled more then 90mph to trouble someone like Viv. Great bowling mate. My mate wants to interview you on his instagram regarding fast bowling. Is it possible? He is a budding pro cricketer. Thanks for the memories Len.

[@syedraza7299]

Len Pasco was among my favourite fast bowlers in 70s, unfortunately he couldn't play longer...

[@dilipmacbookssaparamadu3522]

Great Video ..fan from Sri Lanka..!

[@lenpascoe277]

The clip is proving very popular to see the full match Australia India ScG 1981 and Aust v WI. Scg 1980-1 it’s on the UA-cam that match was awsome huge crowd

[@nickhanlon9331]

Must be a great memory playing in front of such a huge crowd. I noticed Rod Marsh telling you off for not getting out of the way of his throw. Keepers are like that!

[@peterdee2761]

Great memories of a fierce speedster.

[@lenpascoe277]

Thankyou for kind comment

[@Brez6645]

First time I saw you bowl Len was in the 1977 Ashes tour in England. You looked to my admittedly young, untrained eye as quick as Thomson in that series. I also remember you bowling a brute of a bouncer to Boycott in the 1980 centenary test at Lords that nearly decapitated him. A very underrated and entertaining bowler to watch.

[@lenpascoe277]

I’m Amazed at the comments Thankyou everyone yes it was an exciting time the WI were fantastic and our lads competed strongly
Viv and lads would be like wrecking balls in t20

[@timmyhexham9603]

Thanks for this video, you were my favourite bowler.

[@udayprakash1280]

Back in late 70s in India as a school boys,we used eagerly read all these exploits of these great cricketers ,Lenny was one of them.now watching all these videos is really a great experience and more exciting than present day cricket.

[@MangoaGoGoProds]

You're a legend Lennie - hope life is treating you well now - thanks for all the enjoyment way back when I was a kid! :-)

[@lenpascoe277]

thanks for asking enjoying talking about how good we used to be and of cause we are better than we were

[@jameshope398]

You were a fantastic fast bowler Lenny i always remember your 5/59 in the 1980 Centenary Test at Lord's great piece of fast bowling

[@lenpascoe277]

Cheers yes I recall that match playing at lords is every cricketers dream and to take 5 wits and name on the board is areal honorary

[@chevchevmoimoi]

Living legend

[@simongleaden2864]

Len, you were a pretty good bowler who had the misfortune to be a contemporary of several other good Australian fast bowlers, so you didn't play as many official Test matches as you might have. Also, Packer's WSC took you out of official cricket for two seasons and that gave Rodney Hogg a chance to step up and take the new ball for Australia.
I saw you bowl about three overs at the end of the very first day of test or first class cricket I ever saw live at the ground: the 4th day of the 3rd Test of the 1977 Ashes at Trent Bridge, a match well known for Botham's debut, Boycott's return after three years out, Boycott's run-out of Randall and then the former's epic, match-turning stand of 215 with Alan Knott. I was sitting square to the pitch and when you and Thommo bowled I couldn't see the ball travelling at 90 mph 80 yards away, just a puff of dust as it hit the pitch and then I heard the ball either hit the bat or smack into Marsh's gloves. Two great moments stick with me from Australia's 2nd innings on that 4th day - the catch by Tony Greig [RIP] to dismiss Rod Marsh, and Rick McCosker (with no helmet and visor in those days) hooking Bob Willis [RIP] (the bowler who less than five months previously had broken his jaw) for six to bring up his century. 01/08/77 - A great day I shall remember as long as I live.

[@premjitnath6552]

What a great way to relive our golden days. We loved two things quite a lot. One Vinyl records and another a certain 'LP'. As a kid we tried to copy his action and mannerism .. not to forget his Rock Star looks ... A Legend forever .. . Back in the 80s :) . a certain fast bowler from Pakistan copied his action too .. if you observe carefully ..

[@deputysheriff5994]

Len Pascoe the most underrated Australian quick along with Jason Gillespie!Pascoe was an intimidating hostile quick bowler who on many occasions was more menacing than Dennis the menace himself!Always have the greatest respect and admiration for this beast of a fast bowler as i have for Jason Gillespie !
