Great to hear spoke to the man twice in my life..when I was at a cricket training camp at Randwick,and latter when I was up in North Australia ,both times larican Aussie,with great sense of humour
The effort Thommo used to put is captured very well in this spell - the delivery stride and follow through. Now looking forward to day 3 - and apro Kaddubhai's 64 runs.
The Indian batsmen all got in line & negotiated Thommo’s pace very well, one must say. These were guys who, in those days, never had the opportunity to face top pace back home.
Thonmo past his fastest by this he had his shoulder injury a year before and he was never the same again and With due respect this aussies team was second string without Lillee,Chappell brothers etc.
He was still available and quick not the 74/77,but in the Caribbean 78 Richards said he was quick,got selected for the ashes 82/83,and was picked and toured .in82/83.. wickets Ave 18.he is not and line and length, swing and cut, think Michel Johnson..4 over bursts, certainly not England in1985
@ghabcdef I think you're referring to India's tour of the Caribbean in April of 76.That's when Holding destroyed India,at Sabina Park,in Jamaica.This match is 2 years later.
Too glad to relive my childhood days when I heard commentary of this 1977-78 ind-aus series through AIR. In fact ,this was the very first series by virtue of which my interest for cricket grew up, sowed by my elder bro.
As usual, your Day 2 Sydney 1978 Test video is superb. I shared it with GR Vishwanath and he was thrilled. GRV said he had not seen this video at all since the test! Jai, you are doing an amazing service to cricket lovers! I have promised to send him whatever you post. He will be leaving for the World Cup in a few days.
Great Jai day2 was crucial in this test for India. Vishy had a few lives! Yet his innings cemented an Indian victory. Thommo looked unplayable at times!
The summer after Thomson busted his shoulder. Thommo's runup longer,& he working much harder than before. The sad & unfortunate aside of this commentary is it was the year before Jim Burke took his own life. Terrific upload nevertheless.
This is great !! Used to have cmj who's who in cricket for most improved in first form ,at Figtree high,1981.. often tried to wonder what the Packer players looked and played like.
Hi Jai , thanks for uploading this series clip. Do you have clip of Melbourne test of this series ? Also try to share clip of Oval test of 1979 series between India and England, in which Gavaskar played a gem of a innings.
Excellent .iam requesting you for 1 clip that is nowhere in you tube. Manindar Singh was an excellent player.he took 7 wlts in an innings v srilanka 1986,87 srilankan tour of ind 2nd test.i have already requested for shibramkrishnan spell in 1st and 2nd test v eng 1984. L hope you will have those clips. Thanks a lot
Not a convincing innings by Vishwa. Lot of dropped catches and no support for Thomson from the other end. Notice how his run up was. He used to bowl wide of the crease angling into the batsman. The amount of lift he used to generate off the good length spot was amazing. Indians were lucky that Lillee , Chappel brothers and Marsh were with packers.
Another fantastic upload this. Unfortunately, it is very hard to rate some of these wins by India against sides ravaged by the Packer exodus. Noteworthy, yes; Creditable, quite not.
It must’ve been Sep/Oct 1978 when I had the privilege of watching the great man bowling here at the KSCA in Bangalore in what must have been his first big game - the Karnataka-ROI Irani trophy game. Next thing you know - he’s in the squad to Pakistan & the rest, like they say, is history!!!
Well perhaps, but if only Australia had the services of the world series players like Greg Chappell, Dennis Lillee, Rod Marsh, Ian Chappell, Doug Walters, Len Pascoe, Max Walker, Bruce Laird, David Hookes etc!
यह श्रृंखला भारत के पक्ष में आ सकती थी, यदि भारतीय कप्तान बिशन सिंह बेदी ने पर्थ टेस्ट मैच में अपनी दूसरी पारी ९ विकेट पर ३३० रन बनाकर घोषित नहीं करती। यह टेस्ट मैच भारत के सर्वाधिक साहसी बल्लेबाज मोहिन्दर अमरनाथ के शानदार प्रदर्शन के लिए विशेष रूप से याद किया जाता है। इस टेस्ट मैच में उन्होंने पहली पारी में भारत की तरफ से सबसे ज्यादा ९० रन और दूसरी पारी में अपने टेस्ट जीवन का पहला शतक नाबाद १०० रन बनाए थे। भारतीय कप्तान की अदूरदर्शितापूर्ण कप्तानी के कारण भारत यह मैच २ विकेट से हार गया था।
Vishy cutting Thomson! No wonder Lilee rated Vishy as the finest Indian bats man he's ever bowled to.Vishy got a hundred against Lilee at Melbourne in 83 on s treacherous pitch .
As much as Thomson was not the player of his first two series,74/75..75/76..he did play really well I. The ashes of 82/83..the selectors stuffed him around
I was studying such during this series. Almost all the Australian top players went to Jerry packer series at that time. Bob Simpson was recalled and made captain of Australia at the age of 42.that was very interesting series we used to listen to the running commentary on transistor in early mornings. Sweet Memories .
Yeh that's correct, possible it was just a promise and a handshake he made, or a gig with a radio station at the time i think i read. He eventually joined right at the end.
Ashok mankad was the biggest underachiever ever, hugely talented, India had great batsmen then but many underachieved including Jimmy amaranth, surinder amaranth another talented player, Ravi shastri over achieved compared to some of the other players.
Judgement A Come Thommo probably lost more than a couple of yards of pace post the injury (which I heard live on radio!). In this footage, he runs in from much further away to compensate & he was bowling his returns from the outfield. But even his runup is so fluid & athletic - perhaps matched only by the Rolls Royce aka Mike Holding!!!
Judgement A Come Well, you’re no slouch either!! To reveal a dirty little secret, back then I even tried copying JT’s action after watching these highlights!! Gave up because I could never get that beautifully coordinated delivery stride jump & load up right. Thommo probably got it from his javelin thrower days.
At the time Wayne Clark was considered to have a suspect action and, reportedly, it cost him a place in the team the following season. His action looks fine in these highlights.
Jayadev Menon Yes, I do have! The clip is brief and is silent though. One can appreciate his blowing action and is just like how Prasanna describes. Will upload in a few weeks after the Aus series is done.
My life is complete watching these matches as a cricket enthusiast feeling privileged to be part of golden days of Test Cricket
Fantabulous bowling action from Thomson a real gentleman , love to watch his bowling s true cricketer

They had just returned from the Carribean where Holding nearly killed the lot of them in the Jamaica test. This must have seemed tame by comparison.
Thonmo past his fastest by this he had his shoulder injury a year before and he was never the same again and With due respect this aussies team was second string without Lillee,Chappell brothers etc.

Indians facing Thomson without helmets and protective equipment, tough men, brave guys
Thanks you again Mr. Jai sir for this Rare video clip,HOpe some more will follow
Brilliant stuff. Very privileged to see this video as I was very young at that time and was not able to witness it. Thanks for sharing.
The summer after Thomson busted his shoulder. Thommo's runup longer,& he working much harder than before. The sad & unfortunate aside of this commentary is it was the year before Jim Burke took his own life. Terrific upload nevertheless.
Looked up Jim Burke, very sad.
Sunil Gavaskar is the best Indian Batsman ever, Had he been played now a days, he would have made 200 in every match!!
This is great !! Used to have cmj who's who in cricket for most improved in first form ,at Figtree high,1981.. often tried to wonder what the Packer players looked and played like.
Jai जी very very thanks for uploading this series matches please don't delete it 👏👏
That square cut from Vishy happens in a flash, 4 runs, so beautiful to watch
Armanath must have been bruised horribly after taking those Thomson bullets
Great! Waiting for more...

Manoj Guha
No I don’t have anything after the 1980s (after TVs took over)
Playing the fastest bowlers without helmet!!!
Fascinating. 27 runs scored from the start of play until the tea break. Take it there was a delayed start?
Sir this is Waseem Ashraf chaudhry from Pakistan i am still awaiting for the highlights of Pak tour of india 1979
That tour was a nightmare for famous Indian Spinners, which cut short their careers.
Still awaiting for any highlights of that tour
Can I see the batting clips of Surinder Amaranth.
Thanks

thanks - delightful grv do u have day 3
Sir please upload more highlights of that series thanks

After the World Cup! Taking a little break now
@@JaiGalagali o.k. sir thanks
Another fantastic upload this. Unfortunately, it is very hard to rate some of these wins by India against sides ravaged by the Packer exodus. Noteworthy, yes; Creditable, quite not.
Gavaskar certainly not out.
Vishy was simply masterclass. He and Vengsarkar put on a valuable 125 runs for the 4th wicket which helped India amass a total of 396/8w declared
The one thing I remember from day 3 is Vishy’s stumps sent flying by an unplayable Thommo special.....
Searing pace of Thommo
Unlike today, the short leg actually looks a human being!!!
Kapil Dev arrived on the scene a year later ... if only we had his services in this series !!!!!! India would have surely won the series.
It must’ve been Sep/Oct 1978 when I had the privilege of watching the great man bowling here at the KSCA in Bangalore in what must have been his first big game - the Karnataka-ROI Irani trophy game. Next thing you know - he’s in the squad to Pakistan & the rest, like they say, is history!!!

It's a pleasure to watch Vishwanath square cutting the quickies.
thank you sir.
awesome upload. please upload rest of this match and series !

As much as Thomson was not the player of his first two series,74/75..75/76..he did play really well I. The ashes of 82/83..the selectors stuffed him around
Where did you get these highlights from mate? I've been trying to find footage from this series for years with no luck
I was studying such during this series. Almost all the Australian top players went to Jerry packer series at that time. Bob Simpson was recalled and made captain of Australia at the age of 42.that was very interesting series we used to listen to the running commentary on transistor in early mornings. Sweet Memories .
His name is Kerry Packer not Jerry Packer
Wonderful watching cricket classics as there was no cricket coverage during our time lucky to watch the highlights
Why Tomo is in Aussie side while the entire aus team playing for KP those days
Anybody can give an input ??
Yeh that's correct, possible it was just a promise and a handshake he made, or a gig with a radio station at the time i think i read. He eventually joined right at the end.
Sir, any footage from India vs England, 1976-77 series?
मुझे खुशी है .आपके द्वारा प्रसारित मैच मोबाइल पर देखने को मिल रहा है .1978में 12Class की परिझा की तैयारी कर रहा था .
I was in 11th standard, kept a pocket transistor in My school bag to listen to the commentary in interwal
Vishy looking really solid, especially in comparison to Amarnath and Vengsarkar.
Vaah sir vaah sapna such ho gaya thanks a lot
Ashok mankad was the biggest underachiever ever, hugely talented, India had great batsmen then but many underachieved including Jimmy amaranth, surinder amaranth another talented player, Ravi shastri over achieved compared to some of the other players.
Thanks so much I was a teenager who was a huge Vishy and Amarnath fan both who did very well.
20.22- Keeper,5 Slips one Gully, one cover What a sight, Thommo bowling to Vishy
Nice upload Jai Galalaji.
Am really enjoying it.
Thank you soooomuch for a great video.wish to see more such invaluable videos
Probably some of the best footage of Jeff Thomson from that time! And such great camerawork!!
Yes, absolutely. But such a wonderful action!!!
Judgement A Come Thommo probably lost more than a couple of yards of pace post the injury (which I heard live on radio!). In this footage, he runs in from much further away to compensate & he was bowling his returns from the outfield.

Gave up because I could never get that beautifully coordinated delivery stride jump & load up right. Thommo probably got it from his javelin thrower days.
Judgement A Come Hmmmm, a little straightening is evident (after seeing it several times). Not very sure if it is an outright chuck.
Judgement A Come I recall reading somewhere about how Thommo could’ve excelled at any sport that he chose. Good for us, he opted for cricket!!!
Nice upload Jai Galagaliji.
Thank for you uploading. Day 3.4,5 are you uploading rhese across?
WOS
Yes, but let’s wait for the World Cup to be over
Look forward to seeing it.
Many thanks for your upload
Is that ‘Sunny, fuck off’ at 3.32?
This was my second match when I started to see the cricket matches. Really I still delighted to see those matches and get freshed my old memories
Watching Thompson bowling is treat to watch, he had reputation of breaking wickets or bones of batsmen ☝️
Jai sir please load more vedio clips of this series
Most excited series india ever played
At the time Wayne Clark was considered to have a suspect action and, reportedly, it cost him a place in the team the following season. His action looks fine in these highlights.
the bouncers do look suspect.
Super Sir
