Many of you have pointed out that the pics and video footage are not from the Test in discussion. Yes, and the end credits state as much. Pics and videos are for representational purposes only. Archived footage from this era isn't easily available on the internet for reproduction.
The Vengsarkar bit at the three-minute mark is erroneous in audio but a correction is made in the subtitles. Apologies for the error.
thx for the effort but how can one get to watch those matches...India in west indies 76, than the second season of Kerry packer in 78-79 in west indies , with Thommo spell in Barbados. HISTORIC stuff....how can one get that ?
Nice video....thanks👍
Sir, pls read what I intend to write.
@4:53 "And there were no limits on beamers either"??? Beamers were always illegal in cricket (from the time of Bradman itself - that's why there is no instance of Larwood bowling beamers even at the height of bodyline). It was just that West Indian Umpires in 1976 were either too weak or too biased to call out their bowlers bowling beamers at Indian batsmen. Essentially West Indies cheated (flouted the rules) to win the match against India.
This a very one sided story, I was there and this guy narrating is obviously bias in his description and narrative.
Mohindir Amarnath deserves more recognition. He must have been one of the bravest and best batsmen against pace. In 1976, he was hit in the face and hospitalised while trying to hook the pacemen. He returned in bandages and was out first ball; hooking.
In 1981/82, he was India's lone stalwart on a nightmarish 6-test tour of Pakistan followed by 5 tests in the West Indies. He scored over 500 runs in each series while skin, hair, stumps and bails flew all round. At home to West Indies next year, he got a string (or is it flock?) of ducks and was dropped, you can only ask so much. Hail the Nath!
Pls let us not forget the names of Madanlalji & Mohinder Amarmathji. Their statutes deserve to be built in the cricket stadia.
Legend has it , that Amarnath Yatra was celebrated after 83 world cup
👍 Spot on.
Armanath and Allan Border were my two heros of this era.
I'm a Pakistani who's following test cricket around the world since 1971. I like Mohindar Amarnath more than any of the Indian stars. He was the toughest of them all when the chips were down.
Getting to 306 on a tough pitch in overseas conditions losing just six wickets where few of them were basically not out and forced out of the match due to injury. Geez thats good
it should have happened to the Aussies of the humiliation on their own pitch, let them be reminded
Goddamn.... My respect for Mr. Gavaskar and all legends of that generation has grown more...🙏
Sunil Gavaskar an all time great of World cricket. Never wore a helmet even when facing the deadly West Indian bowlers. A fearless batsman who led India to many victories
What victories?
He was lucky he didnt get killed...
One of the greatest players of fast bowling EVER
@@davifdavid4347
Look up Wisden dopey
Gavaskar is one of the best batsmen to have played the game. His not wearing a helmet, was par for the course in those days. Helmets, heavier bats and smaller cricket fields make it easier to play the game these days.
Lloyd was instigated by what his team had from Aussies. But it all started by England in the bodyline series against the all time great Sir Don Bradman of Aussie. Lloyd chosen to use it against Indians was a surprise because India wasn't a big match winners in those days.
The anchor spoke much about Sunny, but valiant Anshuman Gaekwad, Mohinder are the real unsung heroes of India. They were made aayaram gayaram by the cricket board despite their performances with abilities. The Stylish Legend G.R.Vishwanath has become an unknown entity of Indian cricket with the efflux of time. They are all time greats of Indian cricket. See, no helmet, no headgear, no forearm pads, no digital cameras from multiple focus points, no drs, no power bats, no third umpire no limitations on bowling bouncers and beamers, no instant action against erring bowlers, no penalties, no MRI scans and above all no big money at all.
Yet, they played just for the sake cricket and on behalf of the Nation. Salutations to many many unsung heroes of Indian cricket. 👏👏👏👏🙋♂️🙋👍🙏
I wonder if India had zaheer shreeshant ishant shami bumrah Bhuvi at that time , the picture would be different then
@@tirthankarsarkar5254 Possibly. But I think the West Indies would have won by more. They were good players of quick, short pitched bowling, but not so good against top class spinners. It would have been interesting, though.
@@tirthankarsarkar5254 In India fast bowling arrived with the debut of Kapil Dev in 1979. Till then fast bowlers hardly had any encouragement and there were no fast bowling role models for youngsters as the stress always was on spin. Srinath , Venkatesh Prasad etc grew up watching Kapil Dev and the 90s saw the emergence of fast bowling in India and it kept improving day by day. This WI team got hammered in Australia prior to the arrival of India because the Australians under Ian Chappell were better at mind games and the crowds too were baying for their blood. But all said and done the fact remains that this WI team wilted under the assault of Lillee and Jeff Thomson. If present day Indian fast bowlers were there at that time they would have definitely given this WI team a run for their money and India would not have declared in both the innings
@@tirthankarsarkar5254 that collection of bowlers in nowhere near the quality the windies had.
@@vmsrinivas6230 well u have forgotten to mention the tiny fast bowler Ramakanth desai who bowled bouncers to the west indian batsmen and made them to bow and avoid getting hit. He may not be compared with wes hall, Roy ghilchrist but certainly Desai bowled his heart out.
We Indians had sweetest revenge without spilling a single drop of blood in 1983. That's INDIA!!!. We have the power of soul. You cannot ignore India or Indians.
were you high on weed while commenting?
@@Mr-le5qj why he should be on weed to comment this...that was the revenge which made WI downfall... after that world cup...they never won a single world cup
@@avinashn8912 83 WAS THEIR LAST FINAL.
aren't you all just scammers trying to rob any old person in the west of their life savings under the excuse that some indians also suffered a few hundred years ago? 🤔
So, Indian fans, who was "The Little Master" ? Many of you will say Tendulkar but for me (an Englishman btw) it was Gavaskar. Makes a good commentator too !
Sachin Tendulkar sold himself by tweeting a tweet
There was farmers movement for there rights and some celebrities and sachin tweeted same tweet there words were same it came from one place they just wrote as script says don't interfere in India's matter it's our personal matter no one should talk no matter what we do but these dual face people love to show off and love too support Black movement then they forget all that it's American personal matter they talk about Palestine isreal conflict but others should not support farmers or sikhs no matter what we do too them beat them arrest them hire celebrities too make a propoganda this happen many times in 84 aikhs were burned alive with tyres in there neck soo that they suffer more rubber fire is very slow you can't even imagine the pain of rubber burning how they died 😭😭
Still no justice and these people say Sikhs are asking for khalastan but which they don't at this time sikhs were fighting for people of india for there rights but people are soo blind here sikhs only gave them nothing taken from them not Even money in the name of minority we don't take any money from government infact sikhs gave food to lakhs of people every day help them in emergency when there relatives fear from going close sikhs help those covid patients Risking there own life sikhs done more then there government would do still they will not get any justice and these people will forget this also as they use to it history teaches us never ever do any good to them they backstab you and forget all but still Sikhs helping them this is real religious people Sikhs are not fool's they doing this bcz it's our duty sikh should not return enemy if enemy comes feed them help them if they need you forget your conflicts hunger got nothing too do with your personal matters don't hold grudge against anyone our guru's taught do good to who do bad too you anger don't last long this is believe of Sikhs World wide sewa charity we don't believe in boundaries all humans are same from one
From one all the world came to existing
Actually Gavaskar was the actual Little Master, Sachin was the Master Blaster ..
Hmm, I think origin of the little master is Hanif Mohammad.
@@ineedalawyer1240 -Haniff the king.
@spider man It’s okay, Not a big deal.
I'm glad India got their revenge in the 83 World Cup. One of the great one day performances and ended the West Indies domination forever...they never appeared in another final. It also makes me glad that we've returned to a more balanced era of bowling since Shane Warne, Murali and all the great Indian spinners as well as Abdul Qadir and Mushtaq Ahmed from Pakistan and Daniel Vittori from NZ. I'm happy to never go back to the era of 11 overs an hour no matter how good the Windies were. It says something about both sides when you look at the mess that West Indian cricket became once the great era finished and where Indian cricket is now. Gavaskar started all that then Kapil Dev built on it and continued to snowball until they reached their zenith with Tendulkar and Dhoni. Much respect from Australia for what they've built.
India was 50 to 1 to get to the final,100 to 1 ,to win the finals'.
Oh really. I do not think aussies got past windies before walsh and ambrose retired. The last known great fast bowlers from west indies. And not winning every single one day world cup does not make you less of a team especially when you are talking about test cricket. Windies were the team until early 90s, so i don't know what you are talking about, that not winning a 1983 final of one day ended their dominance forever. No, it just happened that they did not win that one match. I think westindies were the team to beat in throughout 80s. And yes india beat aussie 2-1 recently , thanks to india for that too. What do you want , all spin attack going at 20 overs per hour? That is what excites you.
@@rajldahl420 -The windies have not gone back to a World Cup final since 83.
@@philipwilliams1754 so ? How does that matter?
@@rajldahl420 -They simply could not regain their confidence.
Sunny Gavaskar is the best batsman ever to toured the WI , as a west Indian I believe the batting ability of this man was only comparable to our batting super star Viv Richard
But, your ViV Richards never faced the West Indian fast bowlers that too as an opening batsman.
@@cvenkat7766 Same Sunil never faced pair of Lillee and Thommo is test match either...
Sunil only faced 4 of them only once in 1983 tour also.
@@kunalsingh3121 He did smash Lillee. Also, Lillee bowled in their conditions. Unlike Kapil, who bowled in all conditions.
@@balasubramaniamjayaraman1838 He only faced Lillee twice in his life, In 1972/73 where he got owned and Dk removed him 4 times, he only crossed 50 when Lillee wasnt playing
* In 1980/81, Dk owned Sunny again and dismissed him 2 times..
He only crossed 50 once in both of these tours during the tour.
you think it's the 70s when you meet tame bowlers eh?when the West Indies went down under and the the Australians bounced them out you didn't criticize them. You came to win and so was the West Indies so what is the big deal ?
A few things to keep in mind while comparing Gavaskar to today's Indian greats... no protection, no neutral umpires, no opportunity to practice against genuine pace bowling except on tour in real matches, no bowling machines, soft home pitches that did not in any way simulate the bounce and pace of Aus or WI, a mediocre Indian bowling attack (barring Kapil Dev) that was useless except when defending large totals. He faced the fastest bowlers the world had ever seen, with no restrictions placed on them whatsoever, and was India's best batsman and perhaps the best opener ever for more than 15 years.
The batsmen of those days (be it Gavaskar or Richards or Bradman or Sobers) will always be better than the batsmen who succeeded them, because of this sole reason! Cricket is not going back to the days of "no protection" because the world would rather not play the sport at all instead of playing it with no protection and risk deaths on the field. It has already happened inspite of helmets being present (e.g. Phil Hughes, Raman Lamba etc.). So short story.... let the Gavaskars and the Richards be the best of all time! Today's batsman dont care. And thats good!
True. It's was the time when every player was afraid & uncomfortable against the West Indian pace attack. Sunil gavaskar sir was the only player who scored 13 test centuries against them.
I rate him the highest of any player in the cricket history.
And with that useless attack India won WC 1983 Lol you😂
@@tanmay3093 Everyone who actually watched cricket at that time say that India's bowling was horrible.
@@lautheimpaler4686- tell that to those who faced the “Fab Four” spinners - Chandrasekhar, Prasanna, Venkatravaghan and Bishan Bedi.
West Indies demise began with the introduction of cable TV and easier access American sports especially the NBA. The days of cricket being King in the West Indies are long gone. As a child in Antigua, I knew two sports in school for boys, Cricket and football with cricket being number one in our young minds because of WI dominance and the heroes it provided for us to aspire to. I joined my family in the US at about the age of 12. It took many years to return to Antigua, but when I did there were basketball courts all over with leagues being run. Where cricket once dominated most sports related arguments, the NBA with the powerhouses, Bulls, Lakers, Celtics Detroit Pistons were fast pushing for equal status. There are Basketball school leagues similar to high school basketball leagues in the states. Nin
I always said it was Micheal Jordan because in the early 90s we stopped cricket instead everyone was playing basketball and shooting in netball nets lol, a few years later there were basketball tournaments and fewer cricket competition
As an Indian 'am curious that, do youngster of West Indies loves test cricket or not ?

Gavaskar was not the only great player at the time. In the 1971 series, dilip sardesai scored a double hundred. In 1971, india went on to win a series for the first time in england. This was part of a consecutive run of three series victories. Between 1971 and 1975, the indian team had three world class batsmen : gavaskar, vishwanath and amarnath. Vishwanath had the distinction of scoring 14 centuries at an average of 40 plus. Each century vishwanath scored led to a victory or draw for india. I know of no other batsman whose centuries were as influential in getting results for his team. The third world class batsman was mohinder amarnath. He also averaged 40 plus, and was a good medium pacer as well, one of the few medium pacers india had. He scored 9 out of 11 centuries overseas. I don't know of any world class test batsman who has scored such a high percentage of centuries overseas. In 1983 and 1984, amarnath was the best batsman in the world. The selectors made the mistake of dropping amarnath from time to time because early in his career, from 1969 to 1975, amarnath wasn't very good at playing fast bowling. He still deserved to be in the team as a middle order batting allrounder. His medium pace alone warranted selection. The fourth world class batsman is dilip vengsarkar. He also.averaged 40 plus. On top of this india had a quartet of world class spinners. We had 2 great offspinners in prasanna and venkatraghavan, a great left armer in bishan bedi and a unique legspinner in chandrasekhar, who, with his polio withered arm, bowled quick legspin, and even had a bouncer is his armoury, which was quite unique at the time. Add to this wicketkeeper kirmani, who had the unique distinction of learning how to keep wicket against a spin dominated attack in the 1970's and a pace dominated one in the 1980's, and averaging 27 with the bat, which is good for a lower order batsman, and you have the emergence of an indian team in which there were at any given time, between 5 to 8 world class players, who, by and large, were good at home, as well as overseas. Victories by these players in england and west indies ensured that touring teams started to send their best teams to india. In the 1950's and 1960's, india had a decent home record. But because india had a very poor away record, touring teams, especially england, underestimated india and didn't always send their best teams to india. The victories in england and the west indies in 1971 proved to be a wakeup call for other test playing nations to start taking india seriously. These victories were the first ever series victories of india in england and west indies. The first ever series victory of india came in 1967 in new zealand.
So much so much effing gibberish.
Vengsarkar made his debut in ,1976 ag newzeland and Mohinder never played a test match between 1971 to 1975 and was again selected in 1976 for newzeland tour though he made debut in1969
The class of Gavaskar remains immortal
what a team that was.. sheer courage and self belief.... standing tall against those ferocious bowler, u need lots of spine..and that Indian team had abundance of it.... best indian team ever..
Pakistan faced even more pace with Roberts at his peak, and with the menacing Croft and Garner in 76-77. The 2-1 WI victory in the 5 test series was nearly drawn 2-2 with the West Indies 9 wickets down in Bridgetown and with 60 runs to go in the end. Sadiq Mohammad had his face smashed by a Andy Roberts bouncer, but they never complained even once about the West Indian tactics. Wasim Raja scored 517 runs in that series and Majid Khan 530. Asif Iqbal scored 134 on the fast Sabina Park pitch.
The most dangerous of the Windies quickies was Sylvester Clarke because he could make the bouncer cut back at pace to follow the batsman attempting to sway back. I watched him at Surrey in the 80s and he was the only bowler I saw get inside the heads of Richards and Gooch. It was a shame his test career was cut short by the episode in Pakistan.
Intentional bodyline bowling and unintentional injury caused due to pace are two different things,this 2nd may be due to fault of batsman in assessing line and length.
@arunchikodikar397 Did you see even one of the Pakistan vs West Indies tests in the 1976-77 series? The West Indies admitted that Pakistan gave them a very tough time. They bowled accurately but with sheer intimidation. Majid Khan and Sadiq Mohammad got hit by Andy Roberts. Mushtaq Mohammad kept on fighting and leading the team. Bedi quit.
@@saleemkirmani5583Pakistanis begging everywhere as always
West Indies are not really to blame - Those intimidation tactics were used first by Australia and England. West Indies decided enough was enough and they would not be bullied. They decided to fight fire with fire🔥 - India felt the first brunt and many followed!!
Yes absolutly right
Not to mention they copped just as much from Australia in 1975/76 and never before or after did they complain about it.
You clearly haven't heard of Wes Hall.
nope... They were barbarians ...
When the Australians did it with Lillie, Thompson et al, the media had no issues with the tactics. BUT, when the West Indies found four express bowlers, it was all of a sudden barbaric. Funny how the world is and how much the Aussies complained when the Windies returned. Sorry that the Indians had to experience it.
I wish atleast test cricket rules remained the same as the classic days. What a thrilling experience it would have been. Watching classic highlights are always more interesting than watching the modern day cricket.. What a heroic legacy they left for Indian cricket!
Mr. West Indies country cricket board. West Indies people's. Stadium gathered people. wI country intelligent person s. This is not cricket. Blody lines balling not I hate your strategy. I am proud my indian team.
Great west indies at that time, and Indian played heroics series, salute to them
Yah but the approach of west indies is purely unprofessional and the only moto was to win
@@mandhavenkatreddy -It backfired,they can't get the support of their country men.
@Aton Freckleton It doesn't matter who are playing with whom, In this match we could see that the bowlers intention is to target the batsmen professionally(by taking the wicket(s)), if failed to do so then unprofessionally injure them, the ultimate moto is to win the game. Don't mind bro, if the any player(even indian) is doing the same against any other team its not acceptable.
Wish there was some original footage of that series

How did they stop the West Indies of that time?
If anything they 'started the ball rolling' (no pun intended) for the era of dominance of West Indies cricket especially through their fast bowling as the commentator described!

71 victory of India on West Indies changed the India Cricket. and rose vto the ist position in the world. The series gave India confidence to play fast bowlers in the world
Sunil Gavaskar, G.R.Vishwanath, Mohinder Amarnath, Anshuman Gaekwad were excellent players against Fast bowling without wearing helmets.
There are few factual errors here - Dilip Vengasrkar didn't play in Port of Spain where India chased 403, it was GRV, SMG and Mohinder who got the runs. Also the picture of Indian manager is that of Vijay Hazare, not Polly Umrigar
West Indies fast bowlers only knew to bowl fast and lethal against the opposite team. They never learnt to bear the burnt of lethal fast bowling. Lilli and Thompson taught them this lesson in 1975 series.
West Indies did what is done during the match. Issue was with Indian team who were unaware of how to play fast & furious bowling. It had always been thrilling and fun to watch WI bowling in late 70s and 80s and early 90s. And of course, It was Pakistan fast & furious bowling in 90s and early 2000.
Pakistan known for their begging skill, nothing else. So stop barking, keep begging
One bouncer rule would have never been introduced if there were no Wasim n Waqar. It was just to apply brakes to their aggression, pathetic & biased western mentality against subcontinent teams.
As far this IND/WI series, till now I heard a lot about brutality of WI bowlers but didn't know that how bravely Indian batting line-up faced them. A record chase of 403 against a furious bowling line-up needs great courage & determination, absolutely miraculous . Then 306/6 on a wicket like Jamaica, was not less than a nightmare, especially without any modern day protection. WI nailed India by sending their players to hospital instead of making their way to Pavilion, brutal approach, otherwise it could have been a different story. Anyways, I didn't see much of Indian players of that era but right to conclude that that Indian line-up may be regarded as all time great Indian batting side, solid & courageous. Hats off to Bedi n company from Pakistan👍👍👍 .
You can't compare Wasim and Waqar with WI bowlers dude! WI bowlers were killing machines consistently bowling 95kmph. What are you talking??!!
@@predatorprey8656 BTW I didn't compare, just discussed bouncer rule reasoning.
Anyways, these are your thoughts dude but I want to disagree respectfully. Nothing to take away from WI bowlers but while going into comparison with W's, just compare the condition and pitches as well. Also, modern protection guards were not in place in 70's, feeling batsmen less secure. More special, no /over bouncer limit , making a genuine pacer more fierceful. So providing the conditions ,protections & change of rules in their era, I think W 's were really at top. Moreover, if it is only hitting the body or generating the super pace makes someone best, then Shoaib Akhtar should stand far ahead of Wasim, similarly Thompson over Lillie and Lee over Mc Grath should have an edge but it is not the case.
@@adeelusmani5132 frankly, I'd take wasim over almost all the windies bowlers. The man was a bloody magician with the ball. Absolute king of pace and swing. And could bat too.
@@ussspirit4812 Absolutely bro. When some experts asked Brian Lara about the greatest bowler he faced, without pause he replied, "Wasim Akram by a mile". Further he added, while making 400 runs if someone could trouble him then that would be Wasim Akram only.
One of his closest rival of the game, great Allan Donald once asked about his views to be the best in business at that time. He replied, no it is not me but infact Akram is the true best.
Another cricketing great AB Devillier said that Wasim was best among the bowlers he had ever seen. When asked if there was someone in current Pak team to match his caliber, he replied not just in Pakistan even not in the whole world could anyone match him.
Wasim and Waqar were not short pitch intimidators like the West Indian bowlers. Waqar especially was all about hitting the stumps.
This is the best video regarding test cricket.
Destiny took it's revenge in 1983
With full intention to hit the batsmen, Indians still got 309/6 and with west Indies strong battling line and 'fair play' from Indians they were all out under 400. I think this is enough to show who was a better team purely on cricket skills.
West Indies didn't complain to the world when the Aussies did it to them. they understood what they had to do because that was a wake-up call to them, and wake up they did--unfortunately for the Indians, they would feel the baptism of that wrath . lol
And India went on to be undefeated in Test cricket for the next 12 years?? Uh..nope. West Indies learned fair play alone won't win Test matches. Top class fast bowlers and a strong batting line-up will. India did well, but once this bowling line-up clicked it was game over.
@@kieronjohnson8834 But I agree with Gavaskar, Crowd was barbarian.... They were calling for blood.
This was very interesting. Please keep up the good work.
I am a big fan of Sachin Tendulkar but I always knew that Gavaskar had faced the most ferocious bowlers and those days pitch were deadlier even rules were totally against batsmen. What Gavaskar did nobody ever did in Cricket as a batsman even Bradman also. These West Indies bowlers were bowling at 150 speed bouncers and beamers. Eight bowl over.
If someone is not sure about his victory then he start adopting unfair practice ( may it be Australia or WI). They were better team at that era , so they should have adopted fair cricket practices. It was clear the WI was not sure about their victory in that last test, and accepted that they could not win on purely cricketing skills and that they have adopted this practice against India in that test. So it was clear acceptance by WI that time that they couldn't win against India by playing fair cricket.
@@yogione72 are kehna kya chahte ho ?

Loved it. Really interesting. Can't wait for the next one.

Undoubtedly, Sunil Gavaskar is the greatest batsman of India.
I'm a loyal subject to my master's, whatever I take, I give back with interest. Long live Indian cricket 🏏.
There were no Helmets or Arm Guards in 1976, which meant that short balls/bumpers directed at batsmen (6 per over) made run scoring difficult and hooking resulted in batsmen missing the ball and getting injured. Indians may have been short in skill to handle short bowling, but you can't expect tailenders to score against short bowling and that too without any protection.
Thank goodness we have better umpires and replays
Sunil gawasker kapil paa ji mohinder amarnath great cricketers
Cricket is generally called a gentleman's game...please note the term GENTLEMAN ...getting on the pitch with the intent of physically hurting someone just to prove a point or to satisfy personal ego is an expression of narrow and disturbing mentality . What if back in those days someone lost a life on the field ? A sportsman should first be a good human being. Glad the ICC has brought in regulations which has added human sensitivity to the sport .
Well India was always bad, it took 60 years to form a decent team. Now with all the people following cricket and great deal of commercialization, the board became too strong and has enough resources to create a good coaching program to create a decent team. If India could create fast bowlers they would have done it as well, so stop with the nonsense of taking the higher road . Just look at Kohli and co trash talking all the time. On the same note, we all know what road BCCI and their cronies take !!! At least Windies played with joy and flair unlike the uptight Indian batsmen !!! They beat a good Australian team, England, and had a fascinating contest with the Pakistan team, all this without the aid of technology and computer analysis.
@@arduinohome3729 you still dont get it do you? Read my comment again .What i am trying to say is excessive violence and aggression could easily kill someone on the field.I believe what ever maybe your country of origin you and I are part of a civilized world and these sportsmen are the best entertainers and not gladiators who are massacaring each other for the delight of those in the stadium.Enjoy the sport and not the aggression.In any game both parties cant win but it takes an actual human being with sensitivity and big heart to accept that the opposite team was better and that we have to better than them next time...but that doesn't mean that the next we face we would be holding the willow or the ball to cause the other teams player injury that maybe career ending or life taking.I hope you have seen the light.This game is for entertainment not to fulfil someone's sick murdeous whim.Peace.
Windies didn’t start the pace, Lillie and Thommo taught them a brutal lesson and following that Windies found some good talent and dished it back. Nothing gentlemanly or not in that , they played within the rules. All that is being conveyed is if any country had such resources at hand they would have employed it at that time.
@@arduinohome3729 Look at the present Indian team.This is the best Indian side to play the game.They have convincingly beaten Australia not once but twice back to back in Australia and they also demolished West Indies in West Indies back in 2018.
Develop some muscles and stop complaining.
*What great piece of story I didn't much about the old history. I did know about 4 horsemen of death. I will make sure this video reach mor people*
Hats off to indian team...as they have to face the fiersome bowling of windies team.
Yes but they all complaining like schoolgirls as Indians have done from the beginning. Same thing in Australia, England and New Zealand.
I recall the immortal Patrick Patterson who came in full tilt against a tailender, then pulled up and cracked a joke with the batsman and then bowled offspin.
God bless you Sir, Patrick Patterson.
This body line bowling was unfortunate, brutal and would be remembered for ever for onslaught as it to me was unfair to hit the batsman instead of stupms
Those body line bowlers will be smacked sixes all over the park by today's T20 generation batsman. They were brutal those days just because there were no protective equipments for batsmen to escape from body line balls.
The problem really was that Indians were small people compared to Caribbean people. Our fast bowlers faced big tough batsmen who can regularly smash them to the boundary. When scrawny Indians faced those bowlers they were not ready.
Should the West-Indians complain about India's finesse bowlers? Made no sense. You utilize your advantage.
at least this is what the Aussies did to the West Indies, that within itself was a reminder to the West indies, that they would have to step up-
-the Aussies humiliated the West indies and Clive was certain that this was not going to happen again. the Aussies were bowling lots of bouncers, but no one was complaining, not even the West Indies. now the West Indies captain understood how to respond and someone was going o pay for this dreadful humiliation in Australia
You have a bat defend yourself!
@@sahasransusbarik That's a joke...I don't see many batsmen of today that would be able to smack them around the ground (helmet or no helmet)...most of the bowlers of today pale in comparison to those great West Indian and Australian fast bowlers.
There is no comparison between Gavaskar and Tendulkar. Tendulkar played in an era of helmets and all sorts of paddings and custom made bats etc. Gavaskar played the West Indies in an era of Holding, Marshall, Garner, Wayne Daniels and all the other great bowlers at that time without a helmet or any limit on bouncers and beamers by the bowlers. Hands down Gavaskar was far superior as a real batsman with his technique and class to handle such bowlers from West Indies when they resorted to that lowly stuff that tarnished cricket.
That is why it is named and called TEST CRICKET, it seriously puts the batsmen bowlers fielders everybody into tests, you are tested your courage your bravery your patience everything is being tested and this is the real authentic cricket.
Can't blame WI as they played the game way they know... We played what we knew about the game... This is a pure case of lack of technology and regulations back then... What about India vs WI now... 🇮🇳🇮🇳
It is easy to say this today. 🙄 Batsman were without Helmets, so what about Sportsmanship?? (This is not War just a Game)
And today's generation called out of sportsmanship when Ashwin run out Buttler in Mankand style.. 😞😞
take those players and put them in today's situations. the entire bowling attack of lloyd's would be banned from bowling and the test match would be over on the first day. not to mention, the amount of protection batsman have now, gavaskar and co would spank them soo hard, the 400+ chase in the previous test match would look like a cake walk.
@@kabirsardana1282 Well you must remember West Indies did not start that trend, no one seems to remember when Lillie & Thompson almost killed the west Indian batsmen, all that happened is the West Indies made sure that it never happened to them again, all that happened is that the West Indies became the best in the world at that time. I don't blame them.
at least the West indies learned their lessons from the humiliation of the Aussies in 1975---unfortunately for the Indians they faced the baptism of what was the beginning of pace like fire.
West Indies are facing the Karma now. God is great. I used to feel sorry for West Indies but I am happy now that West Indies is a minnow team now.
When Australia was doing it to the west indies they took it and did not complain
What are u talking about ? Wii bowlers employed bodyline tactics they bowled beamers on purpose . They wanted to kill indian batsman and the crowd were cheering kill them kill them .
Now a days every team have almost two to three genuine fast bowlers but West Indians r now second tier team over the years
Protective gear and lifeless wickets has made life lot easier for batsman for sure. You don't even need to play six days. Same feared Windies pace battery of early days is a pale shadow of that now.
Halmets changed the cricket completely
Very interesting movie. Well done, I learned a lot about the start of the Windies fast bowling.
Like ur song in d background vry much....typical West Indian music
yep. Calypso.
Beautifully produced 👌
Now its Indian fast bowlers who dominate west indies at their home
I'm still waiting for 2 or 3 who can bowl at 155+ all day long in short spells.
@@anbee8127 Lol. FYI - There are not many international bowlers around the world who consistently bowl at 155+
Doing so will result in injuries..
@@prateek3116 at least the ones who do don't bowl just one of those balls in their entire life either.
@@anbee8127 -Only Thompson.Clive LLoyd would agree.
I am unfortunate to see the mighty WI team matches when they were having fierce bowling attack. WI board should work to produce bowlers like those Era....
Heroic India!!
Is this matter Clive lloyd is absolutely true...In those days indian batsmans are not aggressive enough to play that kind of fast bowling. And you have to be a monster to face the monster.
They tampered with the wicket,both at Barbados and Jamaica.
Rubbish! Thats exactly what India does.
@@jimmyandtheresurrection7247 -The 1997 match in Barbados,India needed 120 to win.Next morning the outfield was water logged,no rain had fallen.The ball kept low,India all out for 80.

@@jimmyandtheresurrection7247 -Only four days before,India scored 400 in the 4th inning to tie the serie's.India became the first team to score 400 in a test to win.
Loved every minute!
The unsung hero of the 71 tour ( indias 1st series win out of India ) was Gavaskars fellow opener Dilip Sardesai the father of journalist Rajdeep Sardesai.
Gavaskar did not play the 1st test due to an injury. Sardesai took one look at the bowling and famously said " they are bowling papads " ( in Marathi ).
Sardesai scored a double century and 2 centuries.
Somehow he never got the credit for setting the tone.
Windies had their Karma following them everywhere ever since they lost 2 matches in the WCC 1983 and they never recovered after that and today WI cricket is limping and their cricket board is full of internal problems and Windies had their windfall after Y2K and today they are nowhere... Good riddens Clive and his men... 🤣🥰☝️👌👏✊
Accept that Karma has taken over. They lack leadership. It is not just lack of money in their board.
Every start has an end ,there r big ex like west indies and now Aussies...
It's astonishing having blood splattered on the pitch was regular in those days.
A classic case of when the victim becomes the perpetuator of abuse at the first presented opportunity.
India needed Srisanth in this series !
Kon h be ye
This the end of West Indies Cricket
Greatest Batsman
Gavaskar.
The west Indians were fast furious and nagging accurate.
They were impossible to play.
Then
Gavaskar came along.
Gavaskar the greatest batsman in world cricket ever.
Because he faced superfast bowling of the Aussies and the West Indians without a helmet.
It was like going to war when west Indian pacers were running fast to bowl furiously on under prepared wickets of the west indies.
Gavaskar faced Marshall and Thomson both without any protection.
Gavaskar The Impregnable Fortress. A Man of Steel.
We salute the Little Master.
Don't appear to know your cricket very well. Gavaskar scored a tons of runs against WI. But he was easy pickings in the era of the 4 prong pace attack 1976 and onwards..
@@joshuahenry9135 Agreed.
But courage is more important than runs.
Jimmy Amarnath Anshuman Gaekwad and Nari Contractor got injured while facing quick fast deadly bowling
I once faced just on delivery by a Ranji Bowler.
It was so fast I could not see the ball
Imagine Test level bowling if Ranji is so fast.
In the Bodyline series of 1933 even Don Bradman was helpless against Douglas Jardines Bodyline technique.
Cricket is said to be a gentleman's game.
I know only two gentleman Laxman and Dravid.
Cricket is not a bloodsport like boxing .it is not bullfighting.
There are certain rules.
The west indies made underprepared pitches on purpose to injure the Indian batsman
Bishen Singh Bedi was forced to retire because he feared injury.
Statistics is not important
Runs are not a bank balance.
Cricket is about skill and courage.
Sachin faced Akram and Younis at 16.That is courage.
Kimble bowled with a bandage in the west indies.
That is bravery.
Plus there should be no comparison between two players.
Yes.i am wrong with statistics
But thank you for replying.
Best wishes to you.
I stopped watching Cricket after indias world cup win in 2011.
But I do follow the news.
So many people arent aware of 70's and 80's and just blatantly consider so called King Kohli as best batsman ever ....I wish Kohli atleast once faced Andy Roberts, Joel Garner, M Marshall and Holding + Dennis Lille and Jeff Thompson without armguard , without quality pads and without Helmet...f.o. short lived memory and recency effect of people
Gentlemen game indeed
Karma hit them so hard, West Indies is no more a cricket giant.
That's the Lowdown of W.I. Cricket & Shamelessness of that West Indies CRICKET Team , inspite of Many Cricketing Greats in their Team but Lacking Confidence to Win against Great Indian Fighters , that in order to win they played unsportly , wickedly & full of evil by injuring Players of other team .
WI may have won ( Cheatingly ) that Test but CRICKET , SPORTS & SPORTSMANSHIP Lost that Day & Cried.
& This INDIAN TEAM Really WON HEARTS & ACCOLADES World Over that Day because of their Bravery , Fighting Spirit , Fair Play & Sportsmanship ...
nigga shut the fuck up.
I don't believe you know your history of cricket, no other team was cheated as much as the West Indies, no other team was accosted with racist chants and called all kinds of racist names under the sun, and one small thing that most of you seem to forget is that the West Indies did not start the Vicious fast bowling, West Indies just perfected it and was the best in the world at it, so don't hate them for that, Lillie & Thompson just woke a sleeping giant.
@@drewster6402 amen
Pace like fire, thy bound to surrender.
Inglorious win by West indies
I enjoyed it west indies need some fast bowlers right now
Superb comments.Thanks.
I like the song though 🤣
That is why it is named and called TEST CRICKET, it seriously puts the batsmen bowlers fielders everybody into tests, you are tested your courage your bravery your skills your technique your patience your aggression your fears everything is being tested and this is the real authentic cricket.
So basically the Indian team were the soft launch platform, or the Go to Market, samplers for a great future product :)
The same body line tactics is used by Australia since they started dominating cricket... They made mayhem of the tailenders of the opposition... No doubt that they ruled for 20 years
Bouncers yes bro! No beamers! Lol !!! Don't get carried away.
So now with all the safety gears, West Indies is now a team with no skill because the only skill they knew was to hurt them and now its not possible to that extent
West Indies cricket has nothing to do with safety gear, West Indies problem is that they have not produced any world-class batsman after Brian Lara or World-class bowlers after Walsh & Ambrose...Helmets or not the great West Indian Bowlers & batsmen of that time would have made any current day team look like amateurs.
2023 Indian power full 🔥🇮🇳
West Indian Fast Bowler's bowling was both Deadly and Accurate.
Vengsarkar did not play in the Port of Spain test, which India won in 1976.
Amitabha Chanda-And your point.

Gavaskar india k sabse bare batsman the. Jo bowling gavaskar ne kheli. Uncover pitch hoti thi.
How many centuries did gavaskar score against the top Windies bowler s ? In 71 ,the windies had no one , in 74 only Roberts , with Julian the no2 and Boyce and holder , 3 scrubs .
. in 76 was the first time he faced a multiple pace attack . I believe he also faced the Windies in a series when the 4 windies pacemen were playing wsc and not available so he scored big against them . would love to know his runs , average and century nos against the top Windies attack
How many test centuries did you score. None. So stop commenting and hide in sheds. You are such a looser, just like your parents
The word terrorize is used recklessly as if it were war. It was sport and everything was within the rules of the game
Hope all the fast bowlers are made to pay for this , even now isn't too late
Wish India had Rohit, Virat Sehwaag, Tendulkar besides Gavaskar.
In those days bowlers were quicker and fitter
@@vmbslljy5483 I wholeheartedly disagree, athletes now are in much better shape. One of the biggest changes in Indian cricket brought about their rise. Furthermore, look at Anderson and Broad...late 30s still playing at a high level. Holding, Marshall, Ambrose, Walsh, Lillee, Thomson, willis were just amazing talent. It was common to see players smoking cigarettes on the sideline. Though, now watching Cornwall playing is embarrassing. He can't field anywhere but slip.
@@TheTruthSeekerDocRB nothing would work if you put any batsman with less protection, without helmet and in those pitches against bowlers like holding,marshall,roberts.most of them were not much fit but they were tremendously brutal.
@@vmbslljy5483 nope bruh bs
it wouldnt look nice with holding being hit for a six over his own head by sehwag and then being driven straight to the boundary by tendulkar.
The blame for this is Australia who did the same to the WI the previous year - that was the biggest mistake ever done in cricket. As this video has shown it spurned the WI into a frenzy of super dangerous fast bowling for 2 decades. If it wasnt for helmets a number of players would have been killed. Now days intimidatory bowling is impossible.
Mohinder Armanath was India's best player.
There are quite a few inaccuracies in the presentation
Is there any video of this match?
How can they claim themselves as best bowlers with intimidatory bowling , aiming at the batsmen and not at the wickets ?
I am also against this.
But it's within rules.
Cricket is a hard game with
Hard ball.
@@faisalshawon1207 . Rules are made by human beings and not God. They can be changed at any point of time. The legendary pace bowlers like Dennis Lillee, Andy Roberts, Imran Khan, Bob Willis etc got hundreds of wickets without intimidatory bowling. Attacking the batsman's body with fierce pace, with an intention to cause him harm, has always been a black page in the history of ' gentleman's game ' .
@@cvenkat7766 Look Bro when west Indies toured Australia and England before 76
They were bombarded with bouncers and
racial abuse . Then Loyed reformed pace
Attack and motto. India also got burnt.
Don't blame west Indies.
Body line cricket invented by whites.
@@faisalshawon1207 . My point of view is whether intimidatory bowling or body line bowling is acceptable in Cricket which is called " gentleman's game " and not whether it was invented by blacks or whites. When some thing is wrong and un-acceptable , it remains the same in respect of whites, blacks or browns.
@@cvenkat7766 Then what's wrong here ???
I don't understand you. The names you said Andy Roberts was in that pace attack. And Denis Lilee was gentleman !!! Are you dreaming ???
That west Indian team was gentleman.
Ask Sunil Gavaskar ???
Do you see cricket ???
They done nothing wrong , whatever they
done was written in books.
And after 76 they never lost a test series
for 15-20 yrs.
I came to see young will Smith bowling 👍
We need revenge match in sabina park where the Indian bowlers would only bowl to hurt the West Indians
