- 1987 Reliance world cup
Group Stage
West Indies vs Pakistan
Viv Richards vs Imran Khan
Courtney Walsh vs Abdul Qadir
What is even today known as the greatest act of Sportsmanship in Cricket.
Many may remember, many may have forgotten.
but this is not that story.
this is a story of Split second desicion - and how the Impact a Life
it's about the journey that brought us t that moment
from 1975 world cup - the Murray flurry against a surging Pakistani team to clench a victory
to the drubbing by Alan Donald in the first match of the 1987 world cup against England
and the amount of mental pressure - that one over could bring a young man's future.
The psychology of that moment - and then in the next match - going from hero that brought your country back into the game
to a villian - who cost them everything
A srory of heartbreak, loss and dejection
A story of going to highest of highs and lowest of low
a story of a dream and a desting shattering
and the reponse of a person to it
It's a story of Mankading
(I oppose the term Mankading - as it is an insult to vino mankad)
and finally
it is the story of one man's regret - or maybe not

Correction -Viv Richards - 51 ball Half Century( I have said a century)
I apologize for the Mistake & Thanks for bringing it to my notice guys😊
that's the short version -
& now for the tirade
What in god's green earth is going on.
I see a damn half written there
I myself wrote it
but then my brain suddenly goes - Nope -Nothing to see there (those are not the Droids you are looking for)
& then I couldn't pick it up in 3 damn reviews? 3????
I mean how does a century in a 216 runs blowout....doesn't raise an Alarm? or even a raised eyebrow?
It's like I suddenly went blind for the Word Half ( Is there a disease like this- which selectively deletes certain words from your vision? Worth checking out)
Either ways - that was the Bull shit from My brain pulled
Thankfully I didn't have to tell a glass half full joke this week....
Imagine how confusing that could have been....
Haha. This meltdown was awesome to read. All things aside though, you're perfect in most of your videos. Let this one slide off.
Hello Cricket Raaz can you please make a video on why many south African Cricket and especially ABD left cricket. I know there is a lot more inside story and politics
Hehe np IVA Richards was such a player that your error was believable.
There was another mistake in the last minute of the video. The translation showed 1992 but you said 1996. I hope you will verify it.
Never mind bro. Love your brilliant efforts and narration is superb.
Hope everyone remembers courtney walsh's 5wicket for one run in an odi🤗
During my childhood , Walsh was one of my favorite ... A gentle guy with full of sportsmanship which defines the gentleman's game of cricket ...
Entire West Indies team of 80's are legends. Great players 💐
Those were the days and the games which was cricket, a sport.
Bullshit the game must be played within the law you break a rule you're ought to be punished..., Though I'll always appreciate Walsh ❤️ but it was not needed!
@@JayTVIndia Batsmen should voluntarily leave the crease after getting out in a no ball and Free hit should be banned.
@@suryabartasaha341 And Games like hututu & Kabaddi should made compulsory at every Olympics 🙃👍🏻
Why not just make yourself out in the name of gentleman game when u in u could have been out if he had hit the wicket. Just a bullshit logic.
my point was "it was a time of pure sports without the participation of politics and capitalism."
So, Sir Viv Richards hit a 51 ball century at a time when 91 off 10 overs was considered a miracle.
cool
Bruh, it's Viv Richards what did you expect? Man ate boundaries for breakfast.
It's a mistake. It wasn't a century. Viv scored 51 off 52 in that match.
@@muhammadfahimmansur2086 still big runs
@@SeeASquaRE fabulous comment, bro!
I'm sure Sir Viv would chuckle looking at it
@@SeeASquaRE In how many balls had Richards made his fastest century in his career?
10:01 F***! That literally gave me goosebumps, seeing him just standing there with his hands folded as a warning to the runner. Too bad he never won a World Cup.
He was a loser whole life never winning
Yes but he may have had his bank account overloaded overnight.
@@rajeshwarsharma1716 Bro, they are not Indian or Pakistani players like Fixer Akram, fixer Azhar
Infact Despite of the Loss of Westindies "THE GAME OF CRICKET.. GENTLEMAN'S GAME" Won.. And WALSH... The Uncelebrated Hero Became IMMORTAL.. ✨👌👍
Mankading is within the spirits of the game. If only an Englishman or Australian had done it and not an Indian, it would have been called a smart move, named after that cricketer, and would have been covered by the media in a positive light. We too would have seen it that way.
Consider this, a run out after an unfortunate collision or due to slipping or injury is still not unsportsmanlike. But, countering an unfair play by the batting side, within the rules of the game is.
He is a great man. But, Mankading isn't wrong.
Exactly man. The non striker has to run 2-3 yards less because of the head start he gets before the ball is delivered, which is unfair. To counter this, Mankading is the perfect solution. It's just that our Colonial mindset refused to accept that this was done by an Indian and not by Australian or English player. Even in football, while the penalties are on, the goalkeeper isn't allowed to move forward to reduce the area of coverage. The penalty in that case is retaken and if the goalkeeper repeatedly commits this offence, he is given a yellow/red card.
Completely agreed. There was a time when I thought it was “unsportsmanlike” but if it is with in the rules, then there is no reason not to do it.
Agreed
Well according to the latest rules (May 23,2022) it is legal now
you have to score runs in order to win. runs can made only once a ball is played. so starting your run before ball is being bowled is unsportsman like and must be shamed. Mankading is just another way of getting runout.
wow this is amazing! I am a Canadian who just started getting into cricket over the past couple of months and I am trying to learn some of the history. This video is fantastic, thank you!
I was very young and didn't understand what that was but now when I reflect back I can see why he was one of the greatest player to represent west Indies. Salute sir walsh
Sir I was there at Lahore Gaddafi stadium watching this match the crowd went crazy when Abdul Qadir scored the winning runs it was the first match I was watching in a stadium and it was the day I fell in love with cricket I was only 8 at that time at one time Pakistani fans had lost hope. Thank you for this video
What a guy. What a gentleman. This is the true definition of sportsmanship.
Batsmen should also show their sportsmanship by voluntarily leaving the crease after getting out in a no ball. They shamelessly continues to play, even scores boundary in free hit delivery! They should leave the ball or block it.
That's one of the best and most touching incidents in cricket history, and I've never heard it before. In itself, Walsh's action was a great moment in sportsmanship, but when put into context it shines even more. Thanks so much! [I'm Australian btw]
For me the most sportsman behaviour in a world cup is by an australian, the gilli dismissal in 2003 semi final.
I watch the whole video and instead of walsh your amazing oration runs through my mind
Like how.....
This ' sportsmanship' is perfectly laudable than what we see players do nowadays -just to win!! It was a different era of cricket where playing the game was important,'poor players' of today have to live by stats!!!
The one thing which I really love about you and your channel is that you bring out unconventional cricketing stories to the world. Stories which not many people are aware of, stories which actually depict the character , the determination and the grit of our beloved cricketers! 😊😊
Thank you for such wonderful stories 💯💯☺️☺️👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I don't understand why is it against sportsmanship spirit when the bowlers use mankanding. It's batsman who is mis using and running before ball being bowled and he is at fault, if provisions allowed bowlers to restrict such wrong actions by batsman, he shall use that. How does this become anti-sportsmanship
Absolutely
And the same batsman when tries to switch-hit and gets into opposite stance even before the ball is bowled is deemed as legendary and "innovative". About time to stop rigging the game heavily in favour of the batsmen.
You should technically give a warning to batsman and then do it if he still attempts it
@@saptarshichaki818 Rules have changed now, it's technically a run out without any warning.
@@saptarshichaki818 There is no such technical rule right now.
Thank you for bringing out the best elements which are off late not discussed. Your research on every topic is amazing. Wishing this becomes one of the best pages for revisiting memorable cricket incidente
Months back when you were inactive I just waited like anything for your videos and now that you are back ! Every other video is just TOP NOTCH 💥
Same here
Kinda like Oversimplified. The wait makes new videos so much better, you drop what you are doing and start watching the video with attention
I love how you bring up the emotions of cricket ! And the way you narrate is so good ! Great work, cheers mate !!
kuch jyada drama lagta hai commentary
@@rajkiran1982 cricket mei itna drama chalta hai. Aapko commentary se dikkat hai !!?
Forget Walsh. Whaaaaat story telling skills🤩🤩🤩
Regardless of what happened, Courtney Walsh was a legend and will remain one. He had the balls to pull something off like this
Champion are not defined by success or failures, they are defined by how they react in pressure situations.
No wonder he become one of the greatest fast bowler ever played the game of cricket!
Some of what you said is bullshit Champions are mostly defined by success, that pussy generation which was mostly controlled by white people wants people to play pretty soft cricket. His (Walsh) speed made him one of the greatest.
Thanks for this beautiful narration. I remember watching this match live. What a moment it was and it still remains!!
Your storytelling skills are of another level 👍👍
Thanks for sharing. He was one of my favourites while growing up. This increases the respect for the man manifolds. ❤️
sir Courtney Walsh . . rules our hearts . . love you legend . .
Great work mate! What a documentary!! And all the respect in the world should go to Walsh! 💖
amidst of all your videos this one carries the best best best storytelling with a most thrilling script.... have binge watched your channel today, and will remember this one for my lifetime...
Not a fan of cricket, but still end up watching your videos for such gripping and crisp narration! Commenting for the first time, but a fan since years :)
Andbhe was a hero. Thanks for sharing this. I already knew him as a player who played the game in the right spirit, but didnt know this. Imagine the pressure when you have Viv Richards as your captain and you do this as a kid.
Had the experience of watching this game when I was a kid
Ran from school to watch the match
At that time dint understood but understood what had happened on the last ball after papers praised the sportsmanship of Walsh
My perspective changed on westindies team after the match a true sportsmanship team
Batsmen should also show their sportsmanship by voluntarily leaving the crease after getting out in a no ball. They shamelessly continues to play, even score boundary in free hit delivery! They should leave the ball or block it.
I really can't see any difference between that so called 'sportsmanship' and stupidity. This game treats bowlers as second-class citizens and they themselves can't understand it.
This is the sportsmanship that will make Walsh and West Indies immortal in the souls of millions of cricket fans... Many won't but real cricket fans will..
Great video, fascinating insight. Courtney Walsh, legend.
Great video brother! Once again a very moving presentation. Thanks for making this Sunday so beautiful!
That is the sign of a decent and great man. Hats off !
What a storyteller you are bro ..if there is one channel every cricket lover should binge is yours
10:57 The unbiased umpire Shakoor Rana on the left joining in the celebrations with Abdul Qadir being held aloft. 🤣
Courtney Walsh you gained my respect 🙏
Thank you. Your commentary is both beautiful and excellent. Thank you.
I can't understand the fact of saying "gentleman" for not running out the batsman if there is even a rule like that.
Why? Mankading is a very real way of getting people out and many people would've done it. The rule isn't wrong either.
The point is the man played the game the way in which he thought was the right way.. and doing that verge of defeat takes courage.. and that’s why Walsh is a great gentleman
Because it's against the spirit of the game. For some people integrity is above anything else :)
@@qumbermurtaza9186 Can you please explain why?
@UCuZoI9xvSQro6ODtwKWizmw We all have read history of cricket in our school and their is clear difference created for batsman and bowler, Where batsman were inherently gentleman but bowlers have to prove themselves.
He is a great legend and extremely sportsmanship
Superb collection of sportsmanship
This is not just a cricketing channel, for me it's a motivational channel.
You made my day guys. Thanks for this story and appreciate your narration. Indeed a lesson for the future generation
Sir, your videos are first rate in bringing out the dramatic but subtle nuances of the game. I wasn't even aware of this particular incident and your narrative had me on edge till the end! Keep it up!
This is a Gentlemen's Game and he acted as one, unlike the opposing team.
Gentlemen are remembered forever even when they lose the game.
What a legend this man is! Today Charlie Dean cried and so did I. Never mind, Karma haunts everyone.
I always loved the way the Westindians played their cricket, but most importantly they were real gentleman, they let their talent do the work not their mouths, great team, great players
Who is here after the controversial ‘TimeOut’ of Angelo Mathews today by Shakib in the WC23 qualifier? It was first dismissal of this kind ever in 146 years of international cricket! It looked absolutely cowardly and unsportsmanlike initially , but Shakib told he was in a war and he was within the rules to appeal. What Walsh did 36 years ago is the best sportsmanship ever in Cricket, but at the same time if you are at war, and well within the rules of engagement, he should have just run him out ( Mankaded) . But this is how history are made !
God bless all🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Walshy Sir,a PUREST OF THE PURE legend!❤✊👏!Great Video,loved it!
Awesome... really a True Gentleman & Icon for Generations to Fallow
So very well narrated. Though one may have already known of the events, the way of communicating was so gripping.
Cannot wait to see more such gems from this channel. Kudos. :-)
Brilliant storytelling at display!
Brilliant story telling......
Wow we have heard about this as a child. This is indeed one of the defying moments of cricket of the last century.
It’s because, it is considered honorable to warning first. No one will remember the WI loss, but with this simple act of sportsmanship Walsh has forever earned respect of all fans and opponents forever. Salute to Walsh. Wish to see the WI team with rich fast bowlers performance on peak once again
I agree. I didn't even know this was World Cup Match
Excellent narration and setting the scene for events to follow. Great homework done. Well done.
Love and Respect To Courtney Walsh from Bangladesh
He was a true gentleman
Thank you for sharing such an important sportsmanship fact
Awesome work guys. These stories are gems for the cricket lovers 👏
One of the best peice of cricket trivia I have ever seen.
Great choice of words and meticulous suspense building
Well done !!!!!!
Walsh is great bowler.
At that moment... Pak n W.I came so much closer as Pakistani we take w.i as our own team ... Walsh & sir Viv got so much respect n love in here now . Sir Viv is a life time face of Quetta Gladiators and seemi is coach of Peshawar Zalmi form beginning of PSL n whole pak team released for CPL
An epitome of sportsmanship.
Excellent story telling.
Except for his batting Walsh can truly be amongst the greatest legends to grace the gentleman's version of Cricket
dude that might the best video on cricket history I have ever seen
That is a sign marking the beginning of golden era in Cricket. Sadly, we live in the times where the golden era left us all with such good moments.
Real man. Real sports man
Dada never failed to acknowledge the contributions of his team mates and that's what sets him apart from other captains. .....
How difficult is it to manage 2 channels with 2 diffrent video , hat's off to you man
People will not remember anyone but only The Greatest Courtney Walsh.
Oh god, I had read 1987 wc incidence in a small article, but thanks to bring the prequel and sequel too!!
Fantastic mate, great video, really enjoyed it, keep going 👍👍👍
Wow. Your voice and the way you articulate is really impressive. Looking at stats that you mentioned, the end of these matches must have been like end of T20 matches these days or even more exhilarating. Thank you for doing videos like these...
Very unique perspective and well presented. Great tribute to the legend!
Yes ... the 1975 and 1987 turning point for West Indian cricket
I saw the match live. He is the gentleman and sportsman so far in the world.
We call cricket a gentlemen game because of these men🥺❤️
Great man and great sports man..respect for him
Nothing less than a Suspense Movie bhai.. Thank you for the Great Video!!!!!
Difference between two world champion side..
Australia - They will show bad side to win any match. No gentleman game.
West Indies - All ways played as Gentleman. Legends with big hearts.
@that dude Agree bro but this is the only game called.. Gentleman's game.
Wining is another thing loosing dignity is another..
A legend of a cricketer.
i still remember that match, what a great match
This is your best video till date.......
Awesome.. What great storytelling
Thanks for the story. Brilliant👍
What a wonderful narration about a wonderful cricketer👍
Thanks, brother for another video
A good one too
Eagerly waiting for the next one
Viv was actually quiet off the pitch, if unprovoked. He was a an undemonstrative man in his spare time, minding his own business.
Somerset team mate and England all rounder, Ian Botham, said that after a match he would often remain and sit in the dressing room on his own reflecting upon things, long after his colleagues had left.
Greg Thomas once tried sledging him at Glamorgan; after a series of deliveries where he had kept missing the edge of his bat he said, “Viv, it’s red, it’s round and it weighs about five ounces.” The very next delivery, Vib hit him straight out of the ground and into the River Taff. He then turned to the fast bowler and said, “Greg, you know what it looks like. Go and fetch it.”
He always met a challenge head on and he didn’t like big mouths and bullies, he just chewed them up.
Compelling story telling.. good work..
To me Courtney Walsh is the fittest fast bowler I have ever seen besides his ability and skills.
Walsh a legendary bowler.
Great and esteemed cricketer of all times. Bravo
You have a nice way of describing mate! I was in a hurry and about to leave but I couldn't! Keep it up!
respect × infinity
Such a great video
Amazing editing and passionate narration
Thank you
