Thanks for loading this....I have never seen it before as I was at the match (and can see myself in one of the cowd shots). Gosh what a nail biter this finish was. I recall how well Paul Prichard played at the end and that late cut certainly sticks in the mind.
It's a wonderful final moment of a great bowler as well as a fine commentator. The way he talks through the last few overs of this match is music to the ears.

FUN FACT: This was Geoff Boycott's last televised match .
