If Sir Viv Richards words @0:50 secs doesn't put the fear of God in you. Then you're a better Man than I and I don't believe in whatever Gods people believe in. Glad to have been around when this was happening. Also one of the best documentaries ever made!
One racist SA in form of England captain had to open his mouth and made llyod unleash his battery of fiery fast ballers . Andy ,holding, garner and croft were in full flow and we're not giving an inch . Add the king Richards and grenidge and ruthless llyod in mix of things and Tony was to keep his trap shut for good. 5-0 blackwash. The caribean crowd loved every moment of it. Beginning of the greatest cricket team ever on cricket field , unbeaten for a mind numbing 15 years (1980-1995). Thrashed teams like England, aus India and Pakistan home and away .in the end Tony was to grovel in every test he played against the mighty windies. Probably the prick that he was, served him right. . He had a deep hatred for windies and only when he was a commentator did he actually regret he had unleashed a brute single minded merciless battery of fast bowlers never ever seen before or since and the legend of legends that is the king Richards.
You talking rubbish you obviously don't know Tony Grieg He was not a racist where's your proof he had hatred for the West Indies ? making some one grovel is not known as a racist term.
With the opposition having fast bowling lineup like that.... One shouldn't be uttering bullshit out of their mouth coz the very same mouth can and will be shattered.
Andy Roberts was spot on. Bowlers have feelings but once opposition insulted you, Game on Mate. Who ever batting has to face the relentless attack. No choice, Message is, carefully choose the words when you talk.
A lot of the problems in international test cricket from a popularity perspective can be attributed to the fall of WI cricket. In the 80s and early 90s, teams were chasing the WI. Chasing their standard of cricket. It is not a coincidence that Pakistan placed such an emphasis on pace bowling when before 1975, they were content with playing medium pacers. And really and truly Lillee and Thommo were the fathers of modern pace bowling but who became their greatest disciples, one of at least three 80s pace quartets from the WI. The WI were so potent that they changed the sport. Australia of the 2000s and late 90s were champions, a truly great team, but to say they changed the way the game is played... nah. SA became the no1 team by applying WI principles from the 80s
This was the era of extreme racism in cricket where countries like England, Australia and South Africa could play the game the way they liked but the other commonwealth realms would be warned by the umpires if they did so.
What about Sunny Gavaskar? Who also not just played but scored 13-14 centuries against this fearsome foursome WI attack across the 70s & 80s... All without any helmet?? Why only Appreciate Close? He was brave but lacked technique...
England had neither the skill nor the will to beat WI in tests from 1976 to 1988. 8/13 Gavaskar"s centuries were without the fearsome four. 1971 WI(4)and 1978-79(4) at home.
This video isn't about the mind - numbingly boring Sunil Gavaskar. He only scored 5 centuries against this attack,and all of them were on flat tracks. Go celebrate your "flat - track specialist" somewhere else.
which proved nothing. Sir Viv never wore a helmet. Close: 22 test matches, 884 runs. Sir Viv: 121 test matches, 8540 runs. Close wasn't tough he was stupid, letting a ball hit you proves nothing except you are too old and too slow to get out of the way. A British Dunkirk spirit does not hide the fact you lost!
Nowadays cricketers should know how Brian close faced these fast bowlers.Really great Brian close.Scoring centuries and double centuries with a helmet and breaking records is no great thing.
Can there be this bowling line up again ? NEVER EVER INDEED ! Imagine you have to face the very dangerous Andy Roberts Joel Garner next change is Michael Holding and Malcolm Marshall...all four very different and styles strategies . What an era that was and many have missed this era and will never ever understand what these 4 names were in bowling for oppositions and batsmen world over. Absolute terror its like getting slaughtered murdered killed going into bat & facing them. As if entering a cage of vicious wild animals full of Lions Tigers Cheetahs Panthers . These bowlers gave forced and gave birth to one bouncer per over rule from England. Patterson Walsh Bishop Ambrose were the last recognized dangerous famous 4 from West Indies after the Fab4 Never even in cricket history Man of the Match semifinal and the finals 1983 World Cup Hero Super Star Mohinder Amarnath is the most highly underrated player in the world. 1982 Imran Khan said he is the best in the world for playing fast bowling especially Bouncers short deliveries highest scorer in that 1982 series in Pakistan , 1982 1983 West Indies tours Viv Richards said Jimmy Amarnath plays west indian bowlers and all global quick genuine fast bowlers the best. I have seen him play since 1980s he got hit on head jaws face nose got injured the most like no other player ever in cricket history you can check about him and you will be shocked to know how brave and courageously Mohinder Amarnath hit the hook shots attacked them with ease to the worlds fastest bowlers Lillie thomson hadlee imran roberts marshall garner holding etc Also note that current Williamson root kohli babar Smith AB Devilliers Maxwell Chris Gayle Rohit Sharma etc can't bat against these quality bowlers and that too with bigger larger sophisticated bats state of the art protections ⛑helmets guards equipment gadgets fielding rules shorter boundaries restrictions on bouncers. Boycott vs Holding Richards vs Lillie Gavaskar vs Marshall Srikanth vs Imran Khan Mark Waugh vs Alan Donald Kohli vs Anderson Waugh vs Ambrose Any other encounters you know please add them here.
No helmets, no chest guards, no arm guards!! No wonder today's batsmen are so cocky and walk around like warriors. Let them do away with all that protection and face TODAYS fast bowlers and let's see how cocky they get!
Where was Boycott? Come to think of it, didn't see him in Australia in 1974/5 when Tommo and Lillee destroyed the likes of David Lloyd, Amiss, Luckhurst, Fletcher, etc.
its a shame one silly outburst by a south african was allowed to spawn such unpleasantness. The England team were fellow professionals not members of the KKK. Some perspective is needed here.
carapo66 that’s your opinion, I am and was very well aware of the time and what was going on. Certainly puts the current nonsense we are going through with BLM into context.
No one died when Lillee, Thomson et al were cracking skulls. The fast balls became a problem when the Windies applied the heat.
100% the truth
Windies bowling and batting attack was brutal Windies was just a perfect team
Exactly
Racist english man
Mikey that was a brute
West Indies bowling was poetry in motion..... what a line
Michael holding like a whip man the action so smooth
One of the greatest sides the game has ever seen. They had everything huge skill and the determination like none before.
One of the greatest sports team ever.
Everything aside.. really respect tony grieg to play them without helmet. What a beast bowling attack 🔥
I bought my first Symonds because Clive lloyd used one......love the windies :)

West indies would have been white washed by Pakistan had it not been for their umpire who saved Viv Richards
@@jahno7154you’re also talking rubbish he triggered West Indies saying bad team
@@jahno7154he did the bad thing in the cricket history
@@biplobbhattacharjee6270 No he didn't

Best bowling era of cricket all time
Those days they use to play for pride and respect.

Background music is very smooth

no one asked u
So happy to have seen this.
The English *invented* the body line tactics and still moan about aggressive fast bowling against them...smh...😏
This was the era of extreme racism in cricket where countries like England, Australia and South Africa could play the game the way they liked but the other commonwealth realms would be warned by the umpires if they did so.
Roberts, Holding, Daniel, Croft, Garner a pace combo like never before ot after
When Real Men played cricket
Delighted for the West Indies
What about Sunny Gavaskar? Who also not just played but scored 13-14 centuries against this fearsome foursome WI attack across the 70s & 80s... All without any helmet??
Why only Appreciate Close? He was brave but lacked technique...
What about sunny?
This video is about Windies cricketers. Why bring Sunny here, idiot
Man he was suffering the wrath of an angry West Indian quartet who were fired by comments of Tony Greig.
England had neither the skill nor the will to beat WI in tests from 1976 to 1988. 8/13 Gavaskar"s centuries were without the fearsome four. 1971 WI(4)and 1978-79(4) at home.

I wonder who did the grovelling in the end.
Viv was absolutely furious, he made the intentions of the team very clear ,bad move to rile that man !
Cricket is great.
That moment - 0:10
Epic body language

No one was as tough as Brian Close. No one! He didn't even wear a cap!

Glorious days of top class sport and it was all available here in England free on the BBC. So sad we don't have that anymore.

Whose here groveling

One comment of Tony Greig and the whole cricketing world had to suffer.Your spectators bayed for Gavaskar's blood.This is not sportsmanship.
TH-cam algorithm really do be weird
Shut your poosie
its a shame one silly outburst by a south african was allowed to spawn such unpleasantness. The England team were fellow professionals not members of the KKK. Some perspective is needed here.
You are a fool. You don't know anything about cricket or politics.
Sorry, Jacksonkhan28 but you are a bit ignorant of the historical and social context within which the West Indies team was playing at the time.
carapo66 that’s your opinion, I am and was very well aware of the time and what was going on.
Certainly puts the current nonsense we are going through with BLM into context.
jacksonkhan28 I suggest you look in the mirror, your the fool. Just I because I happen to have a different option it doesn’t make me a fool. Grow up!
@@HHM706 of course it's my opinion. Whose opinion did you expect me to express?
