I spotted A G Ram singh in black suit at 21.18 watching Madras test . A G Ram singh was a first class cricketer from Madras. He bowled slow left arm orthodox. AG Ram singh played Madras presidency matches and took 8 wickets for 14 runs vs Europeans . AG Ram singh also played the 1934 first Ranji Trophy tournament. A punjabi from Amritsar settled in Madras hence his name Amritsar Govind singh Ram singh . A panjabi who could speak fluent Tamil . Father of AG kirpal singh and AG Milka singh .My salute to great paaji sir .Thanks very much Jai sir for all your efforts for such clear print .
This was the debut series of Clive Lloyd and possibly Bedi and Venkataraghavan too, but not sure. When a 22 year old Clive Lloyd debuted in the first Test of this series, few would have thought what a glittering career lay ahead of him, as one of the greatest captains in cricket history who would build an almost invincible Caribbean team.
I was present in the match. Venue was nehru stadium. I was a student.sobers was the skipper.4 slips, 2 gully's was the favourite for Windies thanks for posted.old is gold.commentary by anand rao and viji
It is thrilling to watch cricketers like Bapu Nadkarni, Borde, Pataudi, Surti,, Jaismha, Butcher, Kanhai, Griffith, Hall, and very young Lloyd, Prasanna and Bedi. I would like see more of Bapu Nadkarni' s bowling. I wonder how he used throw so many maiden overs in a row with such regularity. In those days we had to go to cinema halls to see a brief 1 or 2 reels of Test matches summary at the end of news reels. Or look at the still pictures of action in newspapers and magazines. We used to exchange newspaper pictures of these heroes with our classmates and build up photo "albums" of newspaper cuttings. Golden days of young India's cricket saga.

Thanks for uploading!!😊😊 I followed closely England v WI in1966 but could only follow this series in Cricket Monthly!😊 Almost 53 years later... Clive Lloyd and Engineer became huge players for Lancashire. Borde - great plsyer... Pataudi-batting with one eye...! Kanhai's "Falling Sweep" shot... Wes Hall,wonderful fast bowler... Sobers...everyone's hero at thst time... Simply the best player ever-and wonderful sportsman.😊😊😊 Thanks again!!😊
I had seen the previous series 1958-59 India vs W.l. in Madras and heard radio commentary for the other 4 Tests.Prior to this, I had seen and heard commentary of the earlier two series In India against Cave's Newzealand team 1955-56 and Ian Johnson's 1956-57 Test series and remember notable contribution from batsmen and bowlers of both the contesting teams.
India was mainly playing for pride in those days knowing well that they cannot beat the other top teams. There were always some brilliant individual performances but they were not good enough as a team. The crowds were always there in full numbers enjoying good cricket and hoping for a miracle all the time.It is incredible how these batsmen faced the likes of Hall and Griffith without helmets. All that changed after 1971 when players like Gavaskar and Vishwanath came on the scene and India started winning matches at home and abroad and became a force to reckon with especially in home conditions . Late 70s saw the advent of players like Vengsarkar, Kapil Dev among others and India went from strength to strength to become a top team in the world.
I think the trend changed directions during patudi's reign only, this series like many others were lost but India was fighting back at not bending over to take it in the ass. Teams b4 this, 50s, early 60s were bad. Just after independence, team was weak and only played to avoid defeat by a large margin like an innings with 2-3 days worth of play left. 50s saw some improvement and target was now to get defeated but not by an innings and atleast play out 4 full days and loose on the 5th day. 60s, with the emergence of Patudi, who had a confidence of a Nawab like he is, started to challenge the opponents. although defeats came but they were not easy like before. hard fought victories and sometimes draw. Win was still not on the cards but change from being minnows to capable competent players like West Indies, Eng and Aus. Spin was their strength in bowling, batting was timing and wrist work. Then came gundappa vishwanath, sunil gavaskar in the fray and first every test victory was possible in this time. in 80s, kapil, srikanth, gavaskar, amarnath, binny, vengaskar, kirmani took india to the top and won the world cup in 1983. Dhoni maxed india in 2010 era with test, odi and t20 no#1 team. by 2020, kohli shud achieve this and better it. but after 2025 there maybe a fall like how West indies fell after their start players left the scene and retired. haynes, greendige, richards, logie, dujon, gomes, marshall were last of their kind. although WI was good but not all players, only a couple here and there. lara, ambrose hooper , i think richardson was the last classical batsmen who retired after 96 world cup.
This footage is very rare. Wow what can an old officiando of cricket say? Seeing the established greats of West Indies at that time along with the up and coming Indians is a privilege.Garfield Saint Auburn Sobers,Rohan Kanhai ,Wesley Winfield Hall,Conrad Hunt along with Charlie Griffith and Clive Hubert Lloyd in his Test debut is very special.Thank you very much,and may there be many more magic memories:)

It was good to see all the great cricketers and interesting crowds. I could see the great actor SVR Garu in the Chennai Match, He probably watched the match all days
Farokh missed scoring century before lunch on opening day. Shikar dhawan scored just two yrs back. Chennai boys garlanding Chandu borde on ground shows how serious chennaites took to cricket in 1966. My wife Ambika was born at perambur that year 😃☺️😁
Whenever I watch a old video of Indian Cricket matches, I always find the audience curious about the game which is not able to find in today's audience.
I remember listening to the commentary so clearly. And I could spot Frank Worrell watching the Bombay Test. There was a wonderful conversation between him and Farokh Engineer in the commentary box. Sadly, Worrell passed away soon after.

I was lucky enough to be present in Eden Garden to see the last 2 days match but India lost badly. Thanks to my late uncle who took me - a school boy - along.
So you were there Tau ji.. i am dying to see the colour of thay era.... the cloth and its sheen, the skin and its warmth, the grass and its green.. the sky and its blues.... kaashhh a mortal soul could travel in time.
Very nice video and good comentry by former cricketer Rushi Modi. I still remember dashing century by Engineer and two centuries by chandu Borde in the series against west Indies. At that time there was no helmet. They were facing the great pace attack of Hall and Griffith. They were the brave cricketer.
I could see film actor Agha in the stands watching the match. Many film actors from Bombay, from south are dead and gone. Yet old memories are still to be cherished
Awesome upload especially the quality in the final test . However the highlight was Wes Hall’s killer bouncer to the opening batsman in the (25:20)second innings and subsequent dismissal via LBW from a well pitched up delivery in the third over , classic cricket !!!!!
A marvelous journey in the times of our cricket, jai, where cricket was a game of gentlemen for the gentlemen. Literally took me into a time machine, thanks a lot for your efforts, God Bless you!
This is really nostalgic. This was the series when i was introduced to radio commentary by our hindi teacher Mr. Amba Dutt Bhagi who generally used to send the class students to know the running score from the neighbourhood where people used to hear the radio commentary. Later on during the 1968-69 series when both Newzealand and Australia visited one after the other the radio commentary addiction became a full fledged habit and hasn't ended till today though now it has shifted to TV now .

Thanks for uploading this- hats off to our olden days cricketers where there was not much money, no protection and they faced guys like hall & griffith. This is awesome for guys like us who were not born in those era.
West Indies were the Kings of cricket then they trilled every west Indian heart..as they performed magnificent in all departments of the game. Bravo Lads.
I remember as a child my uncle's and father would speak of these Indian players of that era..nice to see the players they spoke of..whenever India played West Indies they would support India even though we live in Trinidad part of the West Indies..never agreed with them though...
After all these years of only seeing scoresheets this series is a fantastic one to see moving pictures of (and good clear quality at that) - thank you Jai, much appreciated by the world!
Lovely. We take your posts for granted ... they really are treasures and till recently I never even believed that they existed. Thanks a lot for all your hard work and love fro the game which once was gentlemen's.

I have read that West Indies fast bowlers Griffith Hall played Havoc.A ball from Hall in Chepauk landed on boundary after first bounce I read in a news paper! That was pace!
Thanks for these wonderful uploads Sir. This is pure gold dust! One small request: would you, by any chance, have any footage from our 1964-65 series against Australia? The Bombay test of that series ought to rank among our greatest wins!
@@JaiGalagali : Thank you so much Sir! For whatever reason, that series seems to be completely forgotten. I suspect that win in Bombay gave Pataudi the momentum that was desperately needed to bring the team together. I’ve heard that until then Indian fielders used to deliberately miss chances off bowlers from other zones
When you see someone walking around with a camera...... you don't often get that years from now ...long after they're gone people who might not be even alive at the time would get to enjoy a scene that unfolded long before they or even their parents were born. As a Caribbean man I enjoyed seeing the exploits of some of our cricketing icons as well as Indian players whose names I would have only heard over the years like Engineer. Who could forget a name like that? Charlie Griffith would be infamously no-balled perhaps not so long after the 66/67 West Indies tour of India. This footage is absolute gold. Thanks for uploading.

An amazing video for all cricket enthusiast... But I agree on the comments below men at 19:26 looks way ahead of that period... His hair cut and beard and all looks much advance...
His haircut looks like some trimmer is used which wasn't available in those times for sure we still don't know many hidden secrets and the world is full of such mysteries

What nostalgic memories. I was 10 year old bubbling to hear the commentary from Narottam Puri. I could spot Vaijayantimala at 19.51.
As a British guy, it is very interesting to see games from India. Even in the 1970s there were few TV pictures we could see from India , mostly radio.
British is always British ...
Salute who invented cricket
Was British ..
What classy crowds we had. Not a single vacant seat ! Unimaginable for Tests in India, today !
Test was the only format back then. it was the only way cricket was played.
Old is gold wah wah wah beautiful and superb
no one have any other entertainment so they are in

and the best thing is decency maintained by the spectators. feels like a england stadium. seriously cricket do not needs fans like asians, carabians.
Brilliant footage and a great crowd!
Indian ladies are so beautiful..
I so agree. I would to know what do Indian ladies do to be so beautiful
This was the debut series of Clive Lloyd and possibly Bedi and Venkataraghavan too, but not sure. When a 22 year old Clive Lloyd debuted in the first Test of this series, few would have thought what a glittering career lay ahead of him, as one of the greatest captains in cricket history who would build an almost invincible Caribbean team.
He looks so much like lara while batting.
It was also the debut of Robin Bynoe and Ajit Wadekar at the Brabourne ,and Bedi at Calcutta.
Venkat debuted 2 years earlier against NZL in 1964.
In 1965, also the last Test of Vijay Manjrekar wherein he had scored 102 not out in the second innings.
Cricket Frenzy nation even then.. Fashionable people in the stands. Loved every bit of it :)
I watched the third Test at Chepauk in January ,1967. I was 12 years old and was thrilled. Great match.
Sir on that day Mr radha shot mgr with the gun if I'm not wrong

Yes, because they had no pace bowlers in those days, but the batsmen
like Borde, Wadekar, Jaismha and Patudi were of exceptional class.
I think the trend changed directions during patudi's reign only, this series like many others were lost but India was fighting back at not bending over to take it in the ass.

समय से आगे चला ये नौजवान अगर जिन्दा हो तो आप बधाई के पात्र है क्योंकि हो सकता है आपके हेयरस्टाइल को उस समय असभ्य कहा गया हो मगर 2019 मे ये ही चल रहा है भाई 😊
Maybe ye time travel krke past me gya ho match dekne... 😆😆😆
Sirf hair style he nahi pura look he aaj ka lag raha hai
You can look at Dev Anand's puff hair style and chocolate face . He is more older .
Thank you Sir for uploading this gem
Our tamil actor gemini was watching this match at 26.00 to 26.20
Thank you for showing us some great cricket stuff of the past
That guy at @19:26 looks way ahead of his time in terms of looks!
He's a time traveller.
Oh my god really he is today's guy
@@jahno7154 I was about to say that too. Could have been teleported back to those era.
Maybe a time Traveller..
He goes there by time machine
To think that even a 20 yr old person in the crowd would be at least 77 today
After 4days beginning of 1St Test match on 13/12/1966 I was Born on 17/12/1966 Saturday 🤔
57 Years Ego.. happy to see this match in TH-cam...
19:26, that guy looks like from 2019.
Yeah!
Great spectators & great enthusiasm👏🏻👍🏻🇮🇳
12:44 She Is Beautiful..... Now anyway 80 years old.....
At 28:35 I think she might even have been a film star, who knows! All are old now buddy. 😊
She won't be alive today. In 1966, she is looking around 35.
I have read that West Indies fast bowlers Griffith Hall played Havoc.A ball from Hall in Chepauk landed on boundary after first bounce I read in a news paper! That was pace!
I was in 9th STD and listening the commentry on Phillips Radio.. very good footage by Jai. Galgaly.
Great job bringing us the Cricket lovers this fabulous series. Noted @2:56 : Actor Rehma and @28.32 Vaheeda Rehman (or look alike).
Look alike
Thanks for these wonderful uploads Sir. This is pure gold dust! One small request: would you, by any chance, have any footage from our 1964-65 series against Australia? The Bombay test of that series ought to rank among our greatest wins!
Already there!

@@JaiGalagali : Thank you so much Sir! For whatever reason, that series seems to be completely forgotten. I suspect that win in Bombay gave Pataudi the momentum that was desperately needed to bring the team together. I’ve heard that until then Indian fielders used to deliberately miss chances off bowlers from other zones
Boath Governor & CM of Madras State (now Tamil Nadu) watching the Madras (now Chennai) Test.
@19:26 - that guy is from 2023, on time travel. Stylish.
Yeah😮 I can't believe this
Really, he is looking like today's guy. How old would be he today? He is looking like around 30 in 1966. If he is alive today, he would be 90+.
Time has been captured... awesome to see fashion , people and the way of cricket....thanx for uploading this one.
When you see someone walking around with a camera...... you don't often get that years from now ...long after they're gone people who might not be even alive at the time would get to enjoy a scene that unfolded long before they or even their parents were born.
As a Caribbean man I enjoyed seeing the exploits of some of our cricketing icons as well as Indian players whose names I would have only heard over the years like Engineer. Who could forget a name like that?
Charlie Griffith would be infamously no-balled perhaps not so long after the 66/67 West Indies tour of India. This footage is absolute gold. Thanks for uploading.

Thanks for uploading this gem
What an upload! Wowww! Never knew Chandu Borde was such a class batsman
26:46 the great legend svr
The crowds in all the three test matches show that there were only 3 things that pulled the crowds then:
Movies.
Cricket.
Circus.

These days were very beautiful.
6:04 Look I found the time traveller
This fashion was not of 1960's!
I love this,I've never seen any of these old matches
An amazing video for all cricket enthusiast... But I agree on the comments below men at 19:26 looks way ahead of that period... His hair cut and beard and all looks much advance...
His haircut looks like some trimmer is used which wasn't available in those times for sure we still don't know many hidden secrets and the world is full of such mysteries
