I have seen both these guys play live and I knew Jehangir personally. This was some of the worst refereeing decisions in a match of this caliber back then.
In the very first Cheezels championships in Australia in 1975 for junior players U14, I played Chris Dittmar and gave him 5 points over 3 games. I also beat Peter Nance 23 to 22 over 3 games. Both those guys I believe went on to become world junior champions. I faded into obscurity, as a lot of junior players do for whatever reasons.
@@FabIsFab7867 Yeah, I was in Western Australia, and happy to coast along at a decent high level. I didn't really aspire to reach much higher. I wish I had it in me because the talent was there.
For those commenting on the decisions, yes, some of them seem terrible, but also remember that it was the refereeing standard back then to give mostly lets. Now it is the opposite. The players play to the circumstances. The change in refereeing has led to better clearing and more effort to play the ball, and thus a better game, both to play and to watch.
Today's players wouldn't last a few points with these players. I train world class players and have played in that era so I know what I'm talking about.
Interesting. It seemed a more difficult game to play well with those tiny head heavy wood racquets. In Tennis I prefer the subtlety the old racquets gave the game. Not so much in squash. (Though I did like their lollipop shape).
@@us-Bahn The changes happened so gradually, I didn’t even notice them. In squash, I started with the hard ball, which made up for the old rackets, as it wasn’t any problem to get the ball deep or hit it hard.

How about just play squash and stop calling let’s lol

clear camera some nice replays and commentary.
Jahangir khan was very good player of squash. He was king of squash. He won the all titles of squash almost.

Wow how much the sport has evolved... The athleticism of today's players and their gets in the front of the court are just astonishing.

Seemed normal at the time.

@@droidhimself1150 Indeed. Same thing is true with tennis racquets.

Dreadful marking and a white ball against a white wall. Luckily squash has moved on.
Whos watching this after waqar zaka mentioning him ?
Where he mentioned
Few weeks back in his live stream @@Merybaap
The two boys were very controlled considering the appalling refereeing, it was really bad to say the least.
No tournament name, no year, no fix camera, atroce footage in sum
Get what you pay for
You can see the ball a lot better than many videos years later. Was just watching a 2008 video of Beachill v Ashour, and couldn’t see the ball at all.
