As a little English kid I worshipped big Dev. He was a God in my eyes. I didn't care that he dropped catches or wasn't the greatest at batting or anything. I loved his bowling pace and loose style. I'd watch the cricket and then go spend hours bowling as fast as I possibly could at the spring stumps 🤣 Thanks Dev
And ironically, the only South African batsman that remained not out after Devon's spell of bowling? Fanie de Villiers - the very man who had sparked Devon's wrath.
He was a fantastic bowler but tragically mismanaged by the England hierarchy. If he played for the Windies or Australia he would have been an all time great.
@djwwautodiagnostics Yes, Richie - the master of dry understatement and a far cry from commentators now who just don't come up for air, especially sean pollock, mark taylor and pommie mbangwa. Richie had the skill to let the game/action do most of the talking.
Remember it well, what a guy and what a bowler. Wished he'd been around a decent back room team who could've helped nurture and channel this aggression regularly
My favourite cricketing moment. Watching this as a teenager was electric. He was capable of so much, and gave a worthy but otherwise insipid English seam attack (sorry, Derek Pringle et al) incredible animosity. All Hail Malcom!
How the hell could England not get the best out of a bowler who’s capable of that. Steve Waugh said the Aussies were delighted every time they saw he was omitted from Ashes squads they said they couldn’t understand it.
@ArchieFatcackie In all fairness, Macolm wasn't the most accurate or consistent of bowlers. And nor was he the wiliest/most thinking of bowlers. But this performance was incredible and I'm a big fan of Devon.
Bowlers of this pace intimidate the whole batting line up, they help other bowlers take wickets. Devon Malcolm was absurdly managed by England.@@cquilty1
@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956 Cricket is great now like it was then. And it'll be great in the future. And someone will say the exact same stuck in the past nonsense like you in 30 years time about the game today. Sad really.
The ball he bowled to Craig Matthews at 1:32 is one of the nastiest I ever saw. And a brilliant catch by keeper Steve Rhodes. You could tell when Devon was in a good place, he glided to the wicket, on other days he looked like he was over-striding or labouring. If I had to face him…there’d be the mother of all skid marks in my shreddies…
I wish they had speed guns then. Big Dev looked seriously quick! Too bad Ray Illingworth and co banked heavily on the medium pacers because they did not know how to manage a speed demon.
So I could see from all those matches I watched, a player will deliver his best only if he's emotionally triggered over his limit... That's a sad part to cricket as a lot of matches had gone in vain in the past..
@@hyena131 Doesn't matter if its easy or hard. Nor whether he himself can do it. What he said is right. There was an era sans helmets when men, real men knew how to get in line.. They never got hit on the head ever. Can't say that about today's batsmen.
@@hyena131 The sky is the sea.. And a horse is a hen.. That is nonsense.. Calling oneself a hyena is sensible.. Where we do not have a response, labeling the other's statement as 'nonsense' with no validation is sensible. Getting in line against a fast bowler and keeping your eyes on the ball is not easy, but necessary to face up to pace. Truth is nonsense. Snowflakery is sense..
@@hyena131 Yes! To address a male as a female is very brave and sensible, thus demonstrating your courage and intellect. And ofcourse, to comment on anything and be right, it is mandatory to have been there and done that. Its precisely why exclusively all the best players are the best coaches. You have an incredibly high IQ & an exceptional level of sensibility. And not to sound repetitive, but can't help admiring your grit & courage as well!
I saw one of his 1st games for Derbyshire at Chesterfield maybe his debut. He wore thick horn-rimmed glasses and looked quick and maybe promising but nothing special.
There no saqlain, abdul kadir, warne, murli, mushtaq, ajmal, then abit lower harbajhan, kumble. We had swan, giles, panesar, tufnel; in comparison they were club level. Whereas with seam theres harmison, anderson, broad, earlier flintoff, gough. These were well trained by waseem and waqar and managed to perform at elite level.
@@saif1980saif Agreed very much that Giles was not an outstanding, attacking spinner (although he did put in a number of match-winning performances) but Swann, at his best, was consistently in the top 10 ICC rankings for Test bowlers (ranked above Harbajhan at one point) and was the number 2 in the world across 2010-2011 (with only Dale Steyn above) so definitely much more than club level for a while!

I LOVED DEVON MALCOLM!!! A great underrated player .... Helped rejuvenated my love for english cricket after losing such characters as botham!
I loved him but Phil defreitis and Angus was good bowlers but all three not good enough for the Aussies
This is my earliest cricketing memory, I was four and my Dad was going absolutely nuts at how well Devon played
And ironically, the only South African batsman that remained not out after Devon's spell of bowling? Fanie de Villiers - the very man who had sparked Devon's wrath.
you got to appreciate the irony!
probably a good thing..let him inspect his friends' corpses after the masssacre
@@hensmithers9687 lmao
I bet his team mates loved him
collective punishment hahahah
I was privileged to watch it live, magnificent.
Awesome Devon sadly undervalued by the selectors.
He'd be indespensible now
He was a fantastic bowler but tragically mismanaged by the England hierarchy. If he played for the Windies or Australia he would have been an all time great.
Good morning Devon. Nothing more to say. Perfect from Richie 😃😃😃😃😃

Watched this live at my nans house as a kid - great times
I miss that ferocious roar of expectation whenever Devon came out to bat.
Can’t believe England lasted 40 minutes more with Devon at the crease...
Australia didn't last long once he started bowling.
England were playing South Africa!
Remember it well, what a guy and what a bowler. Wished he'd been around a decent back room team who could've helped nurture and channel this aggression regularly
Result: England won
SA 332 & 175
ENG 304 & 205/2

One of the fastest to ever do it. And what a great lad.
Growing up I loved Dev, he'd have been the best paceman to have ever lived if every bowler tried to knock his head off!
How the hell could England not get the best out of a bowler who’s capable of that.
Steve Waugh said the Aussies were delighted every time they saw he was omitted from Ashes squads they said they couldn’t understand it.

When he came to Australia, Ioved watching him. I always thought he could be better. But when he was on, he was ON.
The most iconic phrase in cricket, still to this day.
Saw this live, wonderful fast bowling, bang on the head switched Devon's radar on....
To misquote John Thaw "I'm Devon and I haven't had any dinner"
That session sticks in the mind
Finally decent footage - thank you!
The golden age of cricket, Jeez we were spoiled

Devon Malcolm was a deadly weapon, the only problem was England selectors didn’t know it .
Steve Waugh could not believe he wasn’t selected more
Undervalued by the selectors. Would be one of the first on teamsheet today.
The ball he bowled to Craig Matthews at 1:32 is one of the nastiest I ever saw. And a brilliant catch by keeper Steve Rhodes.

We love you Dev ❤ 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
Awesome spell by Devon Malcolm
Smoothest action bar none.
I was there. What a day.
Quality fromhead to toe!
That first ball he bowled!
Now that’s fast!
Excellent
Devon Malcolm bowled thunderbolts...!
The thought of facing him...? Oh no,no thanks 👍
Fastest England test bowler of my lifetime. There is a spell vs the Aussies that is also lightning
Is that at The Oval in ‘93 or Perth in ‘94-95? Both were scary
SA top order: Thanks Fanie!
If only he played like this all the time instead of spraying it everywhere
Why title says 91? This 94.
I wish they had speed guns then. Big Dev looked seriously quick! Too bad Ray Illingworth and co banked heavily on the medium pacers because they did not know how to manage a speed demon.
Classic bowling...👍
So I could see from all those matches I watched, a player will deliver his best only if he's emotionally triggered over his limit... That's a sad part to cricket as a lot of matches had gone in vain in the past..
Just imagine a fit devon an in form harrmison opening the bowling
Just a pity Darryl Cullinan didn't get his 100.
Why dont we have any genuinely fast aggressive bowlers in the England team?
People 4got this guy was so fast ask micheal slater or steve waugh
send in Richard Blundell (Wimbledon CC circa 1996) as night watchman!!! Get in line !!!!
Haha I remember him!
❤❤❤❤
A perfect exhibition of why Devon wasn’t the bowler he could have been, why? Because he was too nice a man, not on this day of course.
A nice chap too
Nice
just get in line and you'll be ok!!

Goughy had to ruin it :)
g&t and a copy of Wisden almanac!
De Villiers had no brain
He always pitched short
@Dean Mitchell flintoff, gough, broad, anderson was what was lacking in english cricket. England have never had world class spinners
There no saqlain, abdul kadir, warne, murli, mushtaq, ajmal, then abit lower harbajhan, kumble. We had swan, giles, panesar, tufnel; in comparison they were club level. Whereas with seam theres harmison, anderson, broad, earlier flintoff, gough. These were well trained by waseem and waqar and managed to perform at elite level.

devon on his day made made the great west indian and ausies bowlers......look medium paced.
