Just imagine if it was today's mcg or other australian grounds when ropes are 10 to 15 meters in waugh would have had some 1500 extra runs coz the long boundries costed him badly
Agree that ropes (or at least bringin them in so far) have taken some things out of cricket. The well run 3 and the all run 4 have been largely eliminated because of this. I think it has also made it harder on the bowlers as it reduces the way they can pressure a batsmen by drying up easy boundaries. I remember Viv Richards scoring 200 at the MCS and he ending up smashing 6's over long on. Finally holding out and Kim Hughes caught pratically standing on the fence.
Curtly Ambrose was the best of his time his dangerous bowling wasn't the only thing to deal with his deadly stares at the batsmen is also worth watching very iconic
This was the last out and out world class Windies team. Haynes retiring was a huge blow. They should've stuck with Arthurton despite a drop in form. Also the work load for Ambrose and Walsh was too heavy without Bishop or even Patterson to support them with a decent third or fourth seamer. It's clear to see in this video that the post Dujon years showed a stark drop in quality behind the stumps. Have to marvel at just how good that trio of Ambrose, Walsh and Bishop was.
Yep this team was just barely holding onto the last bit of greatness from the last era and since then it slipped into amatuer oblivion. The emergence of Lara helped them stay competitive a lot longer than they should have.
@@Bernie8330 Other than Lara, that Ambrose and Walsh stuck around enough to save some face for the windies. In truth, after Bishop’s injuries forced him out there wasn’t the depth in the bowling ranks. In batting, they should’ve stuck with out of form Keith Arthurton for longer. Hooper was the biggest disappointment of the lot because he had the talent to make any world XI.
Its not easy to rate : this WI bowling attack 1992-93 or SA bowling attack 1997-98 was most lethal bowling to have visited Australia in 1990s. But batsman has to hang in there - take few blows, duck in, let a spell be over Ambrose, Bishop, Walsh at their peak on true wicket. Waugh was not batting good, but he survived. He got 100.
That luckless hostile spell from Ambrose in the middle was a great sight.
I miss the old MCG which had such huge boundaries with no ropes
pleasure to watch his batting classic ✌
Mark Waugh = pure class!!!

Absolutely right man..this guy is a delight to watch u never get bored watching him bat even if he blocks 💯 balls without scoring
Same with the great Sir Vivian Richards. He would have scored 10,000 Runs in Test and in ODI if he was playing today.

First time seeing junior removing helmet acknowledging for 100
Those were some seriously hostile deliveries in the middle by sir Curtly

@@Johnny_Thunder No it was Ambrose, Walsh and Bishop.
Farnhamification, their bowling stayed top class and intimidation until 1997.

Mark Grace Waugh
Bishop deliveries which used to lift were most dangerous, sadly wicket keeper cudnt hang in to catch lol.
Williams is a kind of WK that WI got at that time for saving matches by taking wonderful catches....
Lucky innings

92/93??
When playing against the West Indies meant something
at least 5 edges not taken Windies keeper
I don't think this was a classic innings from the Junior....couple of dropped catches
I can see why my father loathed the West Indies
