- New Zealand were in all sorts in this 1983 trans-Tasman ODI at the MCG but Lance Cairns provided plenty of entertainment as he pounded Aussie quicks Dennis Lillee, Rodney Hogg and Ken MacLeay for a pair of sixes each in with breath-taking ease.
I was ten watching with my dad on the couch at home in New Zealand. Dad passed away at 89 two years ago, but this and other cricket from the early 80s are still my favourite memories with him.
I remember watching this game then my Dad came home and was angry because the house was dirty, so he switched the TV off while me and my siblings did what we were supposed to do earlier but we missed Cairns's inning 🤣🤣, But i got to see it on the news but wasn't the same. I was 16 at the time. Miss you so much dad, 83yrs young 2020😥
Hitting a six with a shoulderless bat, off Australia's best bowler ever, over the longest boundary in world cricket. All the negatives are against him and he STILL hits a six...Amazing!!
I was at that match , 12 years old, and although go Aussie, absolute pleasure to see Lance Cairns at his best, bring back the 80s
OMG ! the commentary of the day leaves todays lot in the dust....not a bad bat that Excalibur in the right hands of course aye Cairnsy❤
I was 11 or 12, the mean girls were snickering at me at my birthday party while I watched this with great excitement and fell in love with cricket forever
Kiwi or Aussie?
@@JimChap kiwi
Real players, Real pitches, Real boundaries, Most importantly, REAL CRICKET 👍
As opposed to fake cricket?
And real willows where you needed real raw power to. Smash really real sixes
Cricket is better now
Real crowd! Actually allowed to enjoy it.
@@sreddi83 his son played fake cricket
Lance Cairns was a beast I remember this game watched it on TV he always smashed it.
That was a time when 2 sixes in an innings of whole team was considered great
There was a time when a six gave us thrill and hangover for next five overs.
Even miss hit with one hand still goes to six,muscle power lance cairns 👏👏👏
No Ropes and over the longest MCG boundary.....the golden age of cricket.....my favourite cricket era,70s and 80s....
The day cricket was noticed in New Zealand, even though we were thrashed, cairns became a folk hero
NZ was 6/50 chasing 300 to win. The game was already over by the time Lance went berserk so even the aussie fans loved it
We were in no danger of winning
Do you know the result of that match? That match was played in Melbourne, 1983. But I was born in 1995. I wanna know the result of that match. Who got victory on that match? NZ or Australia.
@@r.pranavsubramaniam5582Australia won easily. Cricinfo has the scorecard if you want to look it up. Back then, anything over 200 was defendable and 250 was a great score. So 300 was an almost unthinkable chase.
@@joedennehy386LOL......that's been our Kiwi cricket reality since day dot.
Made those few times we did actually win when it mattered that much sweeter!
Epic hitting by the father of an epic hitter.
He is paralysed now
@@Atharva26304 yeah I know
@@jatindersinghwinnipegcanada still on UA-cam after 1 year
@@Atharva26304 what do you mean
His son would in the future hit 15 sixes in a test innings vs. Zimbabwe
Lance wasn't even using his power still his hits were crossing the ropes... Amazing !!!
Not the ropes, the fence. Back in those days you had to hit the ball over the fence on the full to score a 6. Not just touch a rope on the full that could be placed as much as 20 metres inside of the boundary fence. Players of today have got it easy compared to these players.
Great camera work there. Amazed to see this as it was in 80s.
💯
Lance Cairns.......the BIG DADDY of New Zealand all rounder- not only on basis of genes BUT also on basis of talent.
@ 1.03 the look on Wally Lees face... had the best seat in the stadium that day.
I was there. Great hitting.
Unbelievable hitting, I wonder how long he would have hit with the bats available today, probably out of the stadiums :D
It was an overweight bat to begin with thats why the shoulders of the bat were shaved off if you watch closely at the footage
How many sixes did this crazy man hit,the boundaries were so long yet he cleared it each time.
Six sixes in this innings...
Had the privilege of meeting the man, humble nice guy, who even in 1992 could hit the ball a mile
Those are Nostalgic Times, hope Times comes back again
Everyone in the crowd is so fit !
Fructose was only just being introduced in the 80s. We were just starting to wean ourself off of fat and onto sugar. The results globally are manifest.
Dennis Lillie bowled a head hunter at Lance & hit him in the head with it on his first bowl & that made Lance mad & that was his reply ..
Hey wait! Did he hit Dennis Lillie for 6 with one hand? OMG!
He did
In an interview Lance said he didn’t want to get hit on the toe so nailed it over square leg with one hand.
Is this guy for real? I guess he is the one who properly introduced lower order batting.
Just love those shirts !
Like dad like son
There was a time when a six gave us thrill and hangover for next five overs.
In 1981, at the same ground, New Zealand needed six off the last ball to tie the game, which would mean a replay. No one had hit a six at the MCG for - I think - twelve years and McKechnie, who was at bat, was not likely to break that trend. The Australians played it safe and bowled the last ball underarm - entirely within the rules of the game, but the debate has never subsided.
Two years later, along came Lance Cairns and that huge boundary suddenly looked very small.
That innings is never going to be forgotten, either.
Greatest moment in nz ODI history
A beautiful Newbery bat 💖💖💖
Now also same sticker bro
"..Treating Rodney Hogg like a medium pacer..".. ofcourse a medium pacer there..! Some of these old pacers' pace were exaggerated..
Look how big the boundries
At 0.54 I guess that was 1st ever helicopter shot long long before MSD started playing it.
This is not called a helicopter shot in helicopter shot the bat rotates a circle while shot is being executed just like the fan of a helicopter that's why it is named so.
One hand six Awesome
What a powerful hitting great
This is only time I have heard Ian Chappell in an almost hyperbolic state!
Poor fellow..his son suffered such a terrible fate.
2:43 That is indeed a helicopter!
most amazing thing there is the crowd. Aus v NZ at the MSG today you'd be luck to get 20 thousand people. Society has changed.
big boundary, skinny bat, big crowd BIG SIX! cricket was better back then
Wonderful collection really. Now I would like to put n a request with the hope that it will be entertained. I would love to see the highlights of the 1973-74 and the 1976-77 Australia Pakistan series. Specially the performances of Majid Khan. I really will be thankful.
Fantastic💪
That is some baseball hitting
Not much follow through on those hits, more like short arm jabs. But Lance was huge guy, built more like a rugby forward than a cricketer
0:37 That's almost like a helicopter!
thats how to hit 6,s with a piece of wood,not like todays players with enhanced bats and small boundaries
wow!
Man I wanted one of those bats when I was a kid
Is there an inter link between the Cairns and Dhoni families ?
Clinically Deaf, but a really hard working 💪 NZ Farmer....and he treated DK LILLEE like a Primary School bowler....hoisted him hard and high!!! And then there's Christopher....chip off the old block block with his HARD WORK ETHIC!!!
*Gold* !!!!
This guy wud have slaughtered bowlers today with the big Heavy bats today
Yes, the bats are bigger today but they are actually much lighter because of the artificial, drying process. Result - lots of wood behind the shot but much greater bat speed. To get the same effect in the old days, that bats had to be much heavier and that reduced the bat speed of the shot. You needed to be very strong to swing such a but. At 1:49 you can see that Cairns has even tried to reduce the weight of the bat by cutting off its shoulders.
Anyone know if this is one of Lances own brand excalibres? ... made from aluminium?
Coz it sure looks like one.
@@rahowherox1177 Yes it's his Excalibur bat. No it's not made of aluminium. You're thinking of Dennis Lillee there.
@@keithmoon8838 cheers Keith... the ol memory plays tricks on me.
No they were Newbury bats made in England that bat was 3lbs 8 ozs
Who was won this match ??
Australia
New Zealand ...
New Zealand lost the match by 149 runs, Cairns was out for 52.
@@snowleopard9749 Tnx For Info..
@@user-rf2ri5yq7j As I remember Richard Hadlee was injured for the finals and NZ was pretty ordinary without him
Bring Maclay on from both ends 😂
Why i wonder like the ball was a rubber ball ? He is hitting sixes so easily
Bill lawry commentary
Is he Chris Crain's father?
YES
They say don't poke the 🐻,In this case don't poke the BEAST! That's what Lillee did by smacking him in the head first ball DK was I'll show him who's Boss throw your weight around,Well the Big 🥝 certainly through his around,Would of been a great woodchopper
Surprized that aussie didn't claim Cairns as an asssie like they do with many other Kiwis.
We dont have to claim anyone, they all end up coming here in the end 😁
yeah and its not because of the aussie crims that makes it good.
Russell Crowe is the only one we've kind of got a claim to because of his work on Australian movies before hitting the big time
@@glennarcher6 NZ took a vote.. Rusty is all yours..
Crowe is an honorary Aussie for saving the Bunnies
He was father of chris cairns
Wow
Wooooooooow
Reminds me of Dhoni's 112 m hit.
If Cairns had access to the same bat technology that Dhoni did, he'd have hit the ball into the Yarra.
Iron forearms
Like Imran Khan
Mongoose Bat
New Zealand's version of ms dhoni
Much much bigger than ms

I am first see the video
nah - two hands on the bat as it connects with the ball, then lets go right hand.
maybe if he'd won the match this would be worth remembering.
Well I would argue it’s remembered because the match situation was so diabolically bad. He was the one individual to stand tall & show some fight. That might be hard for you to understand but he became a kind of hero for that reason. Plus nobody hit the ball like him. Not even I.V.A Richards or Gordon Greenidge could one handed Denis Lillee for a 6 at the M.C.G.
Mongoose Bat
No.
Newbury excalibre
