My favourite batsman ever. I first saw him at the MCG in 1975. I was 10 years old. He faced Lillee and Thomson wearing those thick glasses. Amazing! He scored a century. I think some of those cover drives are still going.
I lived in the West Indies in the eighties had the pleasure of seeing the greatest teams ever. Clive Lloyd was a great captain who inspired his team and they respected him.
What the narrator has provided is ABSOLUTE TRUTH. However he OMITTED the most important ingredient in the curry although he was so close to it....when Lloyd referred to One people, One nation and One Destiny he was referring to his mentor...the Great Linden Forbes Samson Burnham the then Prime Minister and Later President of Guyana... that is where his inspiration and encouragement came from!!!!
The universe brought these titans together, and they would go on to dominate the world for 19 years,a feat that has not and,probably, never will be matched. Whether Lloyd was the greatest captain or not is neither here nor there,the fact remains that he had a team the likes of which we will never see again.
The state of west indies cricket these days is really sad. I recollect in my childhood, watching the West Indies bowlers in action during the 1983 world cup and during the 1983 India series that followed, with genuine fear, hoping that none of our batters would be injured. While listening to BBC test match special on shortwave radio during the 1984 England series, I really thought Andy Lloyd had died after being hit by Marshall. Scary stuff!
Growing up in a mixed community in England, this was my 2nd team after England, loved these guys back in the day, always great to watch. Drank many a glass of Dragon Stout or Guiness export in my local while watching some amazing test games!
A great video reviews analysis spot on about the mighty West indies cricket. With Clive Lloyd and his merry squad. Was a pleasure seeing history played out!
As a lucky young antipodes lad, Mr Loyd’s team shaped my life. They were the finest, carribean cool and delicious focused brutality Give him sum chin music man Thank you Supercat Cherish those memories
I saw Clive in 1968-69 - at that stage he, along with Paul Sheahan, were the premier fielders in the world plus Clive was a fabulous batsman. At that time Gary Sobers was around so we all watched Gary ( bat, bowl, field or even walk around ). He was the best ever. ( Bradman, Warne, Gilchrist and Garfield ) But Clive was already the real deal. Along comes 1975-1976 and Thommo and Lillee, but especially Thommo were unstoppable. BUT the Windies got the rough end of quite a few hometown umpiring decisions that Clive put away for posterity ( to get even ). Andy Roberts was already the real deal but a guy called Michael Holding and Viv Richards were just emerging. Plus Clive remembered the merciless pounding by Thommo and Lillee. The rest is history. Clive held a grudge for 20 years and passed on his legacy / philosophy. Ian Chappell wisely retired ( out of fright ).
The Frank Worrel Trophy of 1978/79 established WI as the topdog of cricket for the next 17 years, 1976 series vs India was the trailer of what was coming in the next 20 years.
As a child I remember being deeply disappointed when Australia spanked us 5:1. That was the motivator for what Lloyd built from that point. In those days the governments of West Indian countries were more active in seeing all was well with the team.
Wow the heyday of West Indies golden years never to return. . I was lucky enough to see West Indies win the first World Cup In 1975. I’ve seen the 1980s team. They were fantastic. Lloyd Richards Greenidge sobers holding Garner Roberts Marshall. I think our test team went 11 years unbeaten in a series. All thanks to the big cat Clive Lloyd. I’ve met Clive Lloyd twice, they don’t call him big cat for nothing his handshake is super big thick and strong.
Greenidge,Haynes, Richards, Kallicharan,Rowe,Lloyd, Dujon, Roberts, Holding, Garner,Croft. After which Marshall, Richardson& Gomes came alone. SOBERS was not part of the Lloyd dynasty
An excellent team. When he was fit Lawrence Rowe was a beautiful elegant artistic batsman . Pure class. Alvin kallichrean was Mr. Excitement. Yes Sobers wasn't part of the Lloyd era but having seen sobers in 1969 ? / 1973 at lords in person, I just had to include him , after all Lloyd must have been influenced by sobers. One negative for some cricketers about Lloyd he wasn't into all rounders or spinners .
In 1975 Wi lost to Australia 5-1. He took his lessons and then Kerry packer happened. He decided fast bowling was the way to go. He built his side around demonic fast bowlers. Roberts,holding, Daniel,garner, Marshall. And many more. Batsmen were only incidental to his plans. It just happened that they had world class batsmen. They ruled for two decades. It was also Windies undoing. An entire generation of new talent was wiped out. The Windies are suffering to this day. But still the greatest test team to the park.
Not true . The 4 fast bowlers started after a defeat to India in Trinidad in 1976 . Next Test he picked 4 fast bowlers and decimated India with pace . The rest is history 😂😂😂
When loyed travelled Australia in 1975-76 he faced Lele and Thomson fast bowling. Lele and Thomson bowling was to create terror in batsman. Loyed lost that series by 5-1. Then he developed fast bowlers like Colin craft, garner. Marshall Wen Daniel. In 1980 was having very good batsman and fast bowlers. In 1983 World Cup West Indies was having pace battery.
As I was born in1960 here’s my best West Indies XI from 1960. Freddricks. Greenidge Richards Lara Lloyd ( capt) Sobers Derrick Murray ( wk) Holding Garner Marshall Gibbs. 12th man Keith Boyce. Manager Clyde Walcott.
Actually period of West Indies dominance started in 1950 although not apparent at the time when they beat England in a test at Lord's in London it was like their first overseas victory against at the time a very good England side. Then they rose up the ranks in 1950s and by 1960s it was evident they would be the best side in the world soon and they finally reached their peak under Clive Loydd in 1970s and 1980s when they were clearly at the peak of Cricket and best side in the world in all formats. The first inklings of WI dominance fading started with their shock defeat to India in 1983 World Cup final. Their inability to reach the final of the Benson and Hedges World Series in Australia an unofficial World cup in early 1985. Then another shock when they failed to reach the semi final and final of 1987 world cup. But these this decline was only in limited overs cricket. They were still number 1 in test cricket. Then the decline in all formats started when Viv Richards took over from Clive Loyd in 1990. England in 1989 had just been humbled at home by Australia in the Ashes and were expected to get thrashed in the WI. Instead England put in a good performance and almost levelled and with a bit more luck would have the series in 1989-90 in the Caribbean. The touring Australians followed in 1990-91 al most leveled and even won the test series in WI. All these were signs of WI decline in Cricket. Then WI toured England in 1991 and for first time in 15 years was unable to beat England in ENgland and it was a draw. Then in 1992-93 series in Australia came and WI pretty much struggled for most days of the series. However brilliant performances by Walsh, Ambrose and Lara gave WI a miraculous narrow one run lead test series victory a series they should have lost. However by early 1995 everyone predicted West Indies time in the sun in cricket would come to an end in the WI-Aus series in Caribbean in 1995 and so it proved Australia won in the Caribbean ending WI unbroken undefeated run in Cricket for 15 years the longest in test history and the curtain came down a golden 45 year period for West Indies Cricket starting with that overseas test win at Lord's in 1950 to their defeat in a test series against Mark Taylor's Australians. After 1995 West Indies never reached those heights again in Cricket except for a few t20 tournament victories and one or two semi final appearances in 50 over World Cups. But it was clear they were not the same force they were in Cricket that they were between 1950 to 1995 a wonderful 45 years where WI were the best and most entertaining team in Cricket. The most colourful,passionate and entertaining fans and most popular place for cricket teams to tour despite getting beaten by WI. I hope there is another WI era like the 1950 - 1995 era. But I am sure those days will never return for West Indies Cricket because while there is interest in Cricket in caribbean. The passion for the sport in West Indies has declined since early 1990s and is nowhere like they were between 1950 to 1995. So south asian teams especially India and Australia who are still strong will continue to dominate Cricket far into the future. Sadly for many cricket fans the dominant era of WI cricket 1950 to 1995 is well and truly over and is just a memory for any cricket fans over the age of 50. Younger cricket fans unless they watch youtube videos will never know how good the WI truly good they once were.
Wow you certainly know your Caribbean cricket. I was lucky enough to see the West Indies win the first World Cup in 1975 and a couple times in the 1980s . As I was born in 1960 here’s my all time West Indies team during my lifetime. Freddricks Greenidge Richards Lara Lloyd ( capt) Sobers D. Murray ( wk) Holding Garner Roberts Gibbs. 12th man Keith Boyce. Manager Clyde Walcott .
There is one lost brother from West Indies in India who party like them and aggressive too but was stripped off in spite of scoring double hundred twice Vinod Kambli
Apparently he side lined the Indian origin players like kallicharan etc. he was apparently just pro black. This might be wrong but it has been talked about since the early 80s anyone has a view or a better insight
I don’t think Clive Lloyd was anti Indian, but I do think he was anti spinners and all rounders. After the West Indies beat the Aussies in the first World Cup , he was on cloud nine. However after Australia demolished the West Indies 5/1 it left an everlasting deep cut to his cricketing memory. West Indies fast bowling in the 1980s was magnificent. However I’ve always thought Jeff Thompson was the fastest and most intimidating fast bowler of all time.
What happened to West Indies cricket? I left the Caribbean in 1990 and stopped following cricket. Thirty years later I am looking at You Tube and Bangladeshi is beating the crap out of the West Indies! They never belonged with the A teams.
Well he was good ok,but every page have 2 sides, when he lost the series 5 to1 in 1975 76 in Australia how good he was back then, he give india over 400 runs to win and they achieve it,in 1975 76 series in Australia wi was struggling for an opening batsman to partner roy Frederick and lloyd refuses to play Leonard baichan who wi carried as an opening batsman, lloyd choose to open the batting with greenidge who fail miserable, then b julien and v richards and play l baichan in the last test when everything was lost ok,and rumors have it, how do you think baccas get into the wi team,well lah wa leave it they nah,
Like Israel? Without America, Israel would have been long defeated and destroyed. But America is pumping billions of dollars and military weapons into keeping Israel strong. Plus, they are getting involved militarily anytime any outside 3rd force tries to attack Israel. Wake up and smell the fact, unless you are too dense to comprehend.
When public officials like the former COP allow their political loyalties to influence their judgements as regards their constitutional duties they become pawns of their masters and lose any credibility / respect that they may have earned,
Bull crap!Rohan Kanhai was the man who resuscitated W I cricket.As soon as Kanhai won in England,the racist selectors appointed Lloyd captain.He inherited Kanhai's vision.
This constellation of Talent, leadership< social conditions and History and the products of Social history. When the factors change the glory is ephemeral. Many West Indians now turn to the American College Scene , There is a lesson from Technology. The classic moment occurs just on the eve of demise. The greatest ships, the greatest locomotives occurred at the Dawn of a succeeding technology.. It is sad, But we have the Memories that of the inimitable

The current players should look at this. Their performances on the field are shameful to say the least.
