Yes, watching a limited overs game back then was like watching a county championship game for the 1st 40 even 45 overs. Even in the mid 80's I remember going to a John Player League game and the side batting 1st brought up their 50 in the 22nd over!!
Took 3 days to complete, Leicester were captained by Ray illingworth, didn't stop raining on the first day, Leicester brought an army of supporters with them
if collis had played for glamorgan as well as he did for the Windies in that 79 final Terrance Glamorgan would have won this match comfortably. Alas he had one of those days - dropping a couple of catches and failing with the bat.
@@thewelshsportnostalgiachan4301 yes, not the best game England played was it. I remember Jim Laker watching Botham (I think) wafting at Joel Garner, to be met with "pathetic shot". Still, I was a Middlesex fan, so enjoyed this result.
@@thewelshsportnostalgiachan4301it might have helped if they'd scored more than 8 off their last 4 overs. 20 for example might have made it interesting
King dropping Radley may have cost Glamorgan this match. He must have had nightmares about that. Obviously their batting wasn't good enough but if they'd cleaned up Radley they might just have done it
One hundred and seventy odd never enough 😔 king and ontong threw away their wickets, then dropping Radley, fatal, great day out though, didn't think I'd have to wait till 2000 until we got to another final!!!!, Unlike Middlesex who won some nail biters in the 80's bloody good team
Brearley always seemed to get out in 3 ways - either really early (first over), get out when he'd seen off the new ball usually for just double figures or get a really 'grafting' 40-50 then lose concentration!!
in them days par off 60 overs was probably about 240 - 250 Terrance. Glamorgan certainly were well short of that but being put in at 10.30 in the morning meant a very dewy pitch. It seamed a lot too which helped the glamorgan bowler nash.
Fellow Welshman Don Shepherd the best bowler, with most wickets, never to play test cricket, 2,218 at 21.32 average, just as Jones scored most runs without playing a test. Wales should have its own national team- but although we have the England and Wales cricket board, the team is called England, the anthem is England's, the flag is England's and the players are English.
@@mizofan Jones was unlucky to be playing in the same era as batsmen such as Boycott, Amiss, Edrich, and, to a lesser degree, Luckhurst and Bolus. Jones played against the ROW X1 in 1970 though. Don Shepherd I really feel sorry for. He claimed more wickets than Muralitharan did in his 1st class career. The England selectors picked Trevor Bailey over Don because of his superior batting ability. When you compare Trevor Bailey's bowling stats however Don Shepherd just beats him. 2082 wickets for Bailey in 681 games v 2218 in 668 games.
Alan Jones did play one game for England, against the Rest of the World at Trent Bridge in 1970 (I was there). He was capped but I think his cap was withdrawn as the status of the game was downgraded from an official test
They had a massive clean out the season before, amazed they got this far, went down hill rapidly after 77 didn't really recover until the late eighties, didn't reach another final till 2000, got stuffed by Gloucester in that one to!!!!
100 -3 after 30 overs, and Richie Benaud says, "Glamorgan are moving along very nicely here"
Truly, one day cricket was a different game back then !

Ah yes, the old "quadruple your score after 30 overs" rule back then.
my first final aged 17 now 60! where did the time go? happy days happy memories.
First big game I ever attended (any sport) ... great memories. Thank you.
I went to the semi final in Swansea with my father and grandfather. It was rained off( replayed the following day)..Elvis died that day too.
Was he at the cricket?🤔
Took 3 days to complete, Leicester were captained by Ray illingworth, didn't stop raining on the first day, Leicester brought an army of supporters with them
@@portcullis5622no, he was at the toilet!
that 6 by Llewellen was a magic memory
Ah yes, a 6 in a one day game, rare as hens teeth back then.
I was there, my first trip to Lords to see Middlesex.
Tom Cartwright was 42 when he played in this game.
Isnt Malcolm Nash the bowler who gave up 6 sixes to Sobers?
He was indeed Terrance.
If someone got 50 they were on the plane to Australia or where ever.
The tea lady made 50 sandwiches and was on
My brother and I always called him Colin King! All the way up to the 1979 WC!
if collis had played for glamorgan as well as he did for the Windies in that 79 final Terrance Glamorgan would have won this match comfortably. Alas he had one of those days - dropping a couple of catches and failing with the bat.
Colin drop more like

Worked with Mike on the buildings yes the buildings lovely fella
Just under 2 hours for a hal century, unlike these days.
Middlesex bowled their overs at almost 17 per hour. Helped by bowling half their overs by the 3 spinners!!
King dropping Radley may have cost Glamorgan this match. He must have had nightmares about that. Obviously their batting wasn't good enough but if they'd cleaned up Radley they might just have done it
Could also have been because Glamorgan only scored 74 runs in their last 29 overs and lost 6 wickets.

It was such a dolly as well .
Certainly was mate
If I remember, Glamorgan had a bye, beat Worcester, Surrey and Leicester to get to Lords . It's a pity Majid Khan had not played instead of King.
King dropping radley....gave over
Arthur Francis hit the last ball of the day for 4 to beat Worcester 😁
Always remember Mike Brearley first ball and Mike Llewellyns monster 6.
Brearley always seemed to get out in 3 ways - either really early (first over), get out when he'd seen off the new ball usually for just double figures or get a really 'grafting' 40-50 then lose concentration!!
Because he was a shit player.
It was the year Wales beat England at Wembley
Collis King dropped an easyish catch and had little impact with the bat unfortunately but 177 was never enough.
Getting looks slim
Edmonds coming off no more than a 3-4 step run up. I'm sure he had a longer run up when playing for England.
Mike llewellyn career highpoint .
Not sure if theres been a bigger 6 at lords even to this day
Is that Boycott on commentary duties ?
David pollard Boycott was still playing then, but still did commentary.
Pitch black endings
Gatt looks slim
So what's a par score off 60 overs then? 350?, 400?
Aha, this is the 1970's and a one day test match, so 177 for 9 it is!
in them days par off 60 overs was probably about 240 - 250 Terrance. Glamorgan certainly were well short of that but being put in at 10.30 in the morning meant a very dewy pitch. It seamed a lot too which helped the glamorgan bowler nash.
Did Radley ever fail in a Lord's final?
I dont think he did. Mr. Reliable!
Never terrific clutch performer
Mr. Lords!
Smokey Featherstone
Featherstone went on to play for Glamorgan.
If I remember rightly Brearley was out for a duck and won MOM.
Clive Radley won MOM
Alan Jones the best batsman never to play for England

@@8ackbiter434 Alan played at Lords.
Yes, you're right. I was eight and saw the Saturday of the Trent Bridge test. I always thought Alan Jones was playing!
Watching Glamorgan in this match really brings it home how useless a side they were and still are. They look like a club side and still do.
They had a massive clean out the season before, amazed they got this far, went down hill rapidly after 77 didn't really recover until the late eighties, didn't reach another final till 2000, got stuffed by Gloucester in that one to!!!!
Had King caught Radley it could have been a different game
