- Kallicharan talks about the tough conditions growing up ... playing with his cricketing heroes ... But especially 8:20 onwards, it gets too good as he describes their team meetings and camaraderie on the field .
This talk can rank much more educational than most from Management Gurus , inspiration leaders , life-coaches ... - Спорт
And all while my daughter only has 3 subs.
Alvin Kallicharan....one of the great legends of West Indian cricket. God bless🙏🙏🙏
Wow, Kallicharan was an absolute legend, and what i admire those days no helmet or protection, those were the days..
Alvin Kalicharan is so humble but he was a brilliant batsman - i saw him hook sobers and i jumped up in the stand
Great legend.
Whenever India played West Indies, the first thing we wanted was that Alwin Kallicharran out cheaply. But it didn't happen everytime and this frustrated us a lot.
Now we know Alwin sir's value.
God bless him.
This is the best motivational speech I've ever heard. thanks Alvin.
Alvin you are the best, I love your vibes
Yes I remember the fish and bread on the train to Georgetown
Alvin really lucky.
Very inspiring and motivating! As a little boy, watched him score 100 plus combined with Rohan Khanhi in a 40 over match against Jamaica.
Alvin u was my hero what a great speech thank u for ur service to represent Guyana and the west Indies
Legend without equal!! Salute!!
One of the greatest lefties of game of cricket. Cricket of 70s is incomplete without Allwyn Kallicharan.
he was one of the greatest batsmen guyana produced - a legend
He was one of the greatest batsmen the WI produced,he was right up there with all the others played pace and spin equally well .
He was not one of greatest Guyanese batman we produce , he was the best.
@@haroldshockness9687 he fell off a bit in his later days but he was well on his way to becoming an all time great.
Kalli, the great! Wonderful batting. I loved watching him smashing hook shots against Denis Lillee effortlessly&fearlessly. Kalli, a simple guy with big heart to play big shots.
I loved Sir Gary, Sir Vivian,(I met both)_then Kalli (I only saw him play)
Love to them. Wish them good health.
Great speech.
Classy batsmen. Highly talented. Right from.ball one he played a natural game. No fear at all. Cricket lovers missed him a lot due to rebel tour.Any Era he will make in the list of the best Test Eleven team
His speech is like his batting -- entertaining!
Wonderful recollection of events from the legendry Southpaw Kalicharan, a graceful left handed batsmen who tormented many attacks. I have seen him play in Chennai, . His talk brought back memories, the talk of town then would be about WI batting and bowling. Every Tea shop right from Triplicane to Tambaram,, discussed WI batting and bowling. Many went to see them play than seeing the home team; it was simply magnificent entertainment to everyone regardless of Team affiliations. It's the West Indies. The most important thing to note here is, this all-powerful team never sledged. They just played the game.
Loved Kalicharan’s words, "there was no weak link in the team" .... Must be the West Indian secret of success, the players he mentioned in the talk were all legends. I wish I had a time machine to get them all back.
Still love hearing those stories plenty years after, they all made us proud growing up. They didn’t made much money but they performed like millionaires. Bless they souls. Both the falling ones and those a life. Bless
I love him so much. He was my favorite batsman growing up. Even though I am jamaican for me Alvin Isaac Kallicharran was my favorite. I told a guyanese coworker recently and he was shocked. I told him I really mean it. He was like wow.
My favorite batsman too. I live in Barbados when he and Lawrence Rowe did they thing at the Oval.
And I'm Bajan
what a brilliant talk. make simple things a habit. now thats makes total sense.
The great Alvin " Killer Kalli" Kallicharan feared no one.
Take care brother
Legend who showed Dennis lillee what his class
Heard him take on Lillee as a 15 year old on radio. Able to see it since then on video. One cannot take away the stats of the modern greats and maybe say Jacques Kallis is a "greater" batsman than Kallicharan . Or even Geoffrey Boycott. However, they could never touch Kalli's captivating powers at the wicket. I think I got it, Kalli was a genius, they were not/
Alvin Kallicharan is entertaining, whether it is batting or delivering a talk.
Therapy!! Great story teller Alvin :))
Listen man!!!! I can't explain how much I enjoyed this speech! Thank you so much for posting!
Wow. What a mindset. Been following Windies cricket for 30 years and I noticed that our status started to decline simultaneously with the way our players started to approach and speak of the game in the early 2000s. We lost our brand. Our cricket has become reactionary and waiting to follow trends set by other teams. Windies cricket is godsent. No other can compare. A freak of nature. Our young players need to hear and absorb the revelations of past players. We have the generation of players and now that we have been waiting for. Lets show them their history and reminded the world what is Windies cricket..
Wow.
Love you Kalli.You played great cricket.
Kalicharan very fine left handed strokes player who contributed a lot to west indies cricket
I remember seeing him in the seventies, he was one of my favorite players along with Greenidge and Vivian Richards...
What a flow man! Just lime his on and cover drives! Pray for a happy long healthy life for my school time hero.....
Thanks for this posting I had the pleasure to have met this great batsman during a training session as he visited our school one afternoon. Still remember everything he said to this day. York Castle High Brown's Town St Ann Jamaica. Most importantly always play through the line on the ball. Some of the easiest boundaries I have ever scored.
I really, really enjoyed this, lots of humor in his presentation but it shows the difference in how those players took cricket seriously in his time unlike now.
Nice to listen to u, Kallibhai!
What a motivational presentation. Thanks Mr. Kallicharan.
THE GREAT FORMER WEST INDIAN LEFT HANDED BATMAN FROM GUYANA. 12 TEST CENTURIES IN 66 TEST THAT'S PRETTY AWESOME FOR THE SHORT LITTLE GIANT. WELL DONE ALVIN.
rohan kanhai have a better ave in test and one cricket than all guyana test and one day cricket except shiv in test cricket only bud from nyc
And all those nineties he scored. So he scored at least ninety or more around 21 times in 66 tests. Stats never give the full picture.
Badazz Cricketer
Kalli was one of the greatest of all time! A GEM of a player! This presentation is worth gold. I really wish that every present-day West Indian player would sit and learn from someone like Kalli. No wonder you guys were so dominant.
yes perhaps one of the finest player of WI and also one of indian origin player of the 70's besides Rohan Kanhai ..amazing to know more players like Shivnarine chanderpaul, ramnaresh sharwan, darren ganga, adrian barath, ravi rampaul, samuel badree , ramnarine etc etc..
🙏🇹🇹.Namaste Dearest Alvin,
We in Trinidad and Tobago, have always Enjoyed your company and game, as you said Andy, don't have the records, but was the Teacher of these, players who had,
I "Wouldn't " Put You in no lesser position, of good lefthand's .
I often wonder how you use to start so straight up, and bat.
And " THIS IS A BIG ISSUE I HAVE WITH GUYANA CRICKET BOARD,
Inviting you back, and HONORING your contributions. We in Trinidad honestly HONOR you in a true way.
Thanks for your Visit anytime,
Yes, the greatest he is a Gem 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Make simple things a habit and you create consistency!
Legend
Fantastic tips by Kalli.
I love to watch all his batting videos_I did watch a few. Simple yet most effective batting style!
No helmet nothing,yet he used to smash Denis Lillee&for that matter any bowler with minimum fuss!God bless,Kalli!
Wish u good health.
One of the most complete batsmen love when he and Lawrence Rowe uses to bat together reminds of Hooper and Lara
I am proud that kalaicharan ( கலைச்சரன்) is an indian origin. His name meaning in tamil is 'King of Art'
Nope...
Real meaning the one who devoted to art.. 🌹
Interesting! I read somewhere that his mom was born in Madras, so it is but natural that he has a Tamilian name.
He was some player!
what a legend ,what a aggressive batsman
Excellent. Loved his batting style and grace immensely.
He was one of my favorite cricketers.
Thanks for uploading this wonderful clip.
Got to love Alvin met him playing for Warwickshire against Essex years ago lovely guy
What a legend! Entertaining in his batting as well as soeaking!
Wow great player with perfect guidance❤
Legendary Player
Love this!! Well well said and done Alvin. I am learning more about you. A pleasure.
He is my cricket coach.
Amazing! Inspirational!
Simple talk can with content and honesty behind it help you to be to be, love this legendary simple, great and humble batsman, sir, best wishes, in life, God bless.
Thanks for the history, it opens the eyes!!
The power of a woman!!! Loooool!!!
Ambulance waiting. A bit like when you faced Lillee and Thomson in 75/76 Alvin
Kalicaran to me was like a lefthanded Sunil Gavaskar. So elegant, absolutely effortless, smooth and skillful batsman. No fear for any of the Ausi Bowlers - likes of Thomo & Lillie .
great talk
Alvin Kalicharan, Roy Fredericks, Laurence Rowe, Clive Lloyd, Gordon Greenidge, Desmond Hayes, Rohan Kanhai, Sir Vivian Richards [Di boss] Sir Garfield Sobers [Di original Boss, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, The World Boss Chris Gayle, Di Trinidadian and West Indies Teflon Don Brian Charles Lara, Richie Richardson, Faruk Bacchus, Carl Hooper, Gus Logie, not counting the Bowlers the best Anyway in a di WORLD , know that!
That was some dream cricket.
Killa Kalli we all admired him,brave as a matador facing menacing bulls.
👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿
Best speech ever
The current players need to watch these videos. They could learn a lot from them.
My hero
Great man 🎉
God Bless you❤❤❤
👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He never speaks badly of anyone. But WI administration treated him unfairly. Kali was born to play. After 50 tests his average was 50. Something happened I think - his last 12 tests he never made runs. Average dropped. I bet if he had kept his 50 average he would have been more recognized? Nevertheless he was outstanding. He batted at number 3 when Richards was in the team. Later dropped to 4 I think.
I read in an interview of his that he was made captain for an India tour, when the big names played in the Packer series, and then Lloyd was reinstated when the Packer series was over. He took it badly - "things were never the same again. ... You learnt that they don't care about you ...".
oh....that was a great talk and thanks for posting !
I recall finding his name in the paper almost every single day when he played for Warwickshire - diminutive but what a stylish bat he was !!
Also, the 8:20 on was what the reason the WI were champs then, and what he says here made me realize how different the approach was by rest of the teams in the world then. I had an opportunity to observe closely the Indian team that toured in the Caribbean in the late 80s....absolutely casual, no seriousness, no self-respect losing game after game but just drinking juice and sucking on ice-creams - such an attitude just shocked me as they seemed they were on 'vacation' with a clear exception I remember, Kapil Dev - no wonder they lost every single game they played on that tour !
Those days words of some people was good
I think today's WI management should think of appointing the entire team of all conquering Lloyd s team as coaching staff and develop a new team for test and one day format
alvin and rohan and many west indies players are indian decendents.they are better batters when it comes to batting
320 for 2 lol..all the sixes landed there lmao
Great story tho
there is a lot of low life who hated alvin ,simpley because he was an indian ,i do not know what can cause a man to hate another man because he is black ar brown or white or can perform better jelouisey,they are many in the west indies cricket board,
Really. I am from Guyana and never heard of anyone that feel that way. Stop making up shit.
fired
who is the Mr. Gates he refers to? was he manager or coach? was he a former player for Guyana and the West Indies.
Not Mr Gates....it was Lance Gibbs the spinner
he mentioned Majid Khan? how dare he ?
he didnt mention dhoni? how dare he?
He look old fam
There were three people better than him in that village than him is just that they had more money
West Indies players today, bunch of mediocrity
Kallicharan, Kanhai, Butcher, Solomon, Clive Lloyd, Fredricks combined is not even Sachin's toe nail, worth of talent. Sachin is god of batting.
@@johnwensley5833 You have the audacity to compare the greatest of all time Sachin Tendulkar to Chanderpaul?
Sachin is the master of batting, not disparaging Shiv Chanderpaul but he can never be spoken of in the same sentence.
Go back and learn cricket, Sachin is the apotheosis, the exemplar; the paragon of batsmen.
I really, really enjoyed this, lots of humor in his presentation but it shows the difference in how those players took cricket seriously in his time unlike now.
