I remember watching that stand between Greig and Ward on the last day, I was only a young lad and you dream of a famous victory but it was of course never realistically going to happen. Great memories.
@@AuthenticSelector64 Steele was asked to open the batting and it was his only poor test match in the 8 games he played. He was desperately unlucky not to go on the 76/7 Indian tour
@@dlamiss ….seems like alot of snobbery in the English camp….opposition can always stiff conflict in their opponents team… I suspect Clive Lloyd used Grieg stupid talk and the West Indies supporters to add extra aggression in his team….very clever….
Frank Hayes a bit unfortunate to play all his nine tests against the West Indies. He started brilliantly with a century on debut but unfortunately it was diminishing returns and that was as good as it got.
@@dlamiss David Steele was very unlucky. Did the donkey work of taking the brunt of Lillee and Thomson in 1975 (top scoring for England in the series) and then Roberts, Holding & Daniel in 1976 and then with quite a bit less threatening attack to come in the winter was promptly dropped which was strange as he was originally a Tony Greig pick. Perhaps it was felt he wasn't as comfortable against spin. The Robin Smith of his day if you like.

Tony Greig basically telling the nation that he got his leg over last night.
Haha
Great effort by Willis...(!)
The final test of Frank Hayes, John Snow and Alan Ward and the penultimate test of David Steele and Chris Balderstone
They lost a very close exciting match….should have kept the same team….. maybe replace David Steele…
