What a masterly batting display by Kallicharran , Lille had no clue , he really mastered Lille , it certainly was a gem of an Innings and that too without Helmet
he was one batsman who knew how to wup Lille--there was a match i saw and he scored six 4's in an over against Lille. i don't think any batsman has ever done that to Lille
@@zodiac6968 true Lilly is one of the greatest ever. But in this Innings one of the greatest ever Left hander had taught the world how to hook and pull Lilly
Radio commentary: would describe the batsman's stance, the bowler's ru up and delivery, the stroke. Even the missed stroke outside off was described in detail. And we listeners adjusted our stance to face the next ball.
Lillee really 'lost it' in this match, bowling the same or similar stuff over after over, despite being thumped repeatedly to the boundary. Alvin Kallicharran was something else. Lovely style.
Was there that day with my school mate Hamish Dunn - day out after taking our O levels. Right amidst the West Indian fans, Bloody brilliant. When Kali went mad - no helmet, no padding - a guy next to us necked half a bottle of Bacardi in one.
Kallichran was sublime on this day very wristy. Also proved my point that Lilee was an average bowler when wicket was not responsive. My favourite Australian quick was Glenn McGrath who was successful on all surfaces.
@@simonboughey5246 please look at his record outside supportive wickets. People like Glen Mcgrath, Imran Khan and west Indian bowlers were very effective on these low bouncy wickets.
I played some minor league cricket in England and I do not bowl fast but the wicket was so conducive to swing bowling that it i was swinging like terry alderman. Great players perform in all conditions that is my point in my opinion Dennis LIlee was good but only in favorable conditions.
@@Bhuddababajee Hi, thanks very much for your reply. I love talking cricket. I never played minor league cricket, so you're better than I, but I played club cricket in the Surrey league as a medium pace seam bowler. So let's look at the stats: Lillee took 355 wickets in 70 matches at 23.9 per wicket - that's in all conditions. McGrath took 563 wickets in 124 matches at 21.6 per wicket so a better average but a worse strike rate than Dennis. Lillee also is in the list of the top takers of fivefers in the history of the game, along with SF Barnes, Kapil Dev, Steyn and a couple of others. Pretty good company. Again, in many conditions. You can't rack up figures like that if you can only bend it round corners when it's a bit humid overhead. He was also two bowlers into one. He was really really fast in his early years - much quicker than McGrath ever was, and then after a back injury rebuilt himself as a bowler with a mastery of cut and seam - which McGrath could never do - and was still pretty quick. Lillee bowled superlatively well in England and Australia, which offer a great variety of conditions. Now he didn't do well in his four Tests in the subcontinent it's true, but four Tests isn't much to be judged on and they were heavily doctored pitches to nullify him. This is not to say McGrath was not a great bowler, he was, but he didn't have as many tools in his locker. He was tall, got good bounce, ridiculously accurate and seamed it. But any bowler will tell he's not entirely sure which way a ball seams. To cut it and swing it, you've got to know. I'd probably want them both in my all time Aus XI, but DK Lillee would be one of the first names on the sheet.
My point is a great player will perform everywhere because they can adapt their game to the conditions they are in. I do not see that in Denis Lilee because he never performed under alien conditions. I do not know if you are fan of Boycott but I am a big fan. He performed everywhere as a batsman.
It really pisses me off when people on here who know fuck all about cricket slag off Dennis Lillee. Lillee was a superstar. He was the fast bowling superstar of the seventies. So he got carried away against Kallicharran, and got hammered in an over. Great moment, great batting from Kalli. In fact great bowling from Dennis.
When Kalli peppa Lillee !!! Who can forget! We had no t.v. then but listened to the radio and saw images. By the way, the name 'Lillee' conjured up 'helluva' then! Sheer terror! Dig the archives and see how many like scenarios you can find. Hence, Kallicharan the great!
Lillee was great. Yet, the West Indies batsmen beat up on him regularly. ODI's or test series, he was a run provider for WI... Q: "Who's going to bowl?" A: Lillee. Response: Easy runs..WI wins
You might want to do some actual statistical research. DK was very successful against the mighty West Indies. They played them every 2nd summer in Australia. Lillee was the most successful bowler against them & he dismissed Viv Richards 9 times in Tests and 7 times in WSC SuperTests. He was leading wicket taker in WSC, with 67 wkts against the West Indies & World XI. In one of those WSC SuperTests at the SCG, DK took 7/23 in an innings against them. Andy Roberts was 2nd with 50. DK was the 1st bowler to take 100 ODI wkts @20.82, retired the Test World Record Holder & took 12/92 in a 1 off Test against a World XI & took 85 Test wkts in a Calendar Year. That record still stands as the highest tally by a fast bowler. Tony Cosier rated Lillee as the best fast bowler to ever tour the Carribean. Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd, Andy Roberts & Joel Garner rate DK, as the best bowler of their era. Easily the greatest.
@@graemealexander8804 As the song goes (1975 World Cup): "They bring a judge and jury, to sentence Lloyd and Kalli, Ah water Lillee, they beat you like a bobolee"' Great records, oh yes; actual test wins v WI, eh.
@@edmaljones7152 No doubting the West Indies greatness. Best side ever. Lillee got hit around occasionally, very occasionally though. Both giants in cricket history.
@@graemealexander8804 Totally agree. Australia is the best test team, now in my opinion. Yet, I'm still upset that they left Joe Burns, my fave player now, off last tour of England (last yr?). He was in form.
I see these young men runnig 4 and I tell them, save your knees and ankles for your 50s. Bat like Boycott, amble your singles and make the best of your runs off boundaries. am going through hell with my knees and I am not supposed to show it, just grin and bear it and swallow Aspirin.
It's great sportmen back then when the two WEST INDIAN went OUT 🏏the whole of the Australian cricketers clapped them off the field so much different than today.. They would not even raise a finger now, how things have changed 😟
So many west indian cricket fans in the stadium during 1975 world cup in england 😮😮 .. now we only see 20 or 30 westindian fans in cricket matches in england ..
West indies had an ounce of luck that day Australia had 5 run outs including both chappell brothers, would have been different result , australia did get there revenge Australia destroyed the west indies in 75-76 in the test series winning 5 tests to 1 Never foget the Blistering speeds by lillee and thomson that series
Yes...this. is really. the game of kaliicharan Vs lille...where in a simple. words kaliicharan totally humiliates lille..great match and. also great futage...thanks. for this nice work.....〽️😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😎😎😎😎😎😎😍😍🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Thanks for posting !! I went to this match -my first taste of international cricket. Amazing atmosphere, brilliant batting from Kallicharan. Lilee took a load of good natured barracking from the WI fans, but he took all in good spirit and even shared a beer given to him by a sympathetic Windies whilst fielding at long leg.
Remember that day very well. Our bus driver forget where he park his bus .then we was broken down on the m 4 .thanks to the driver who gave us a ride .big up bro!!🙏👍
This is why when runs scored are being compared, one has to think of the era. These cricket fields were huge compared to those now. Scoring a hundred then was really an achievement. The boundaries are too short now. Batsmen could run four then. What a feat.

@@adrianbennett9875 i think what he meant to say was that, batsmen have over time become more and more complacent and compromised on their technique as a result. And he does have a point, modern batsmen have far poorer technique compared to their predecessors whilst playing the hook.

Gee Clive bowling before his knees went
I liked west indies teams
I think, that time 1975s World 11 also cannot beat West Indies 11 team...
Australia was the favorite and better balanced team than WI. And I am a WI fan
Kalicharan made Lille forget how to bowl
Look at the sportsmanship when the opposition applauds a great innings. Thanks to Steve Waugh this era died with his entry as a cheat.

where are you from
When Dennis Lillie claps a batsman off he knows he met his match
LILLEE NEARLY KILL WI IN THAT YEAR TOUR OF AUS. 5-1 BEATING..LILLEE WAS A BEAST AND I AM A WEST INDIAN
And then came Vivian Richards
Iaman Indian but Vivian Richards was the one who showed these Australians and British their real place
Saeed Anwar had resemblance to Roy Fredrick's in batting.
Kallicharan... great player of that era.
Great West Indian team, tremendous batting by KaliCharan
Nice to see the Aussies clapping Kallicharan (sp?) and Fredericks off.
Kalicharan was a great stroke player and stylish....
Kallicharan simply fearless batting with no helmet on that too against Lillee -that's 'Windies Team of 70s! Simply great!!
Watching an angry, aggressive Lillee thundering in to Kalicharran and being punished was like watching Bluto getting beaten up by Popeye.
More like being beaten up by Walter Softy !
So many west indian cricket fans in the stadium during 1975 world cup in england 😮😮 .. now we only see 20 or 30 westindian fans in cricket matches in england ..

Never foget the Blistering speeds by lillee and thomson that series
Great enjoyment even after 45 years
One of the great final world cup cricket match. Both westindeis and Australia team classic match
I missed the Windies glory years as I moved to the states in '76. The west Indies and Australia were fun to watch England not so much.
Love watching these games , heaven
Thats the little master Alvin.

How can Helmets "Weaken the game" If they're given for the purpose of protection??

Great time when cricket was played like cricket

True.& the way the bowler behaves after taking a wkt these days is clownish.as if he found lost paradise.
No doubt Kali Charran was the awesome player of that era
