Thanks for this upload. I went to the third day; a day of unrelenting tedium. I was 15 years old and always preferred the longer forms of the game but this was a bit much. Still enjoyed for the memory of going with my dad and his friends. It was a terrific hostile performance by Holder that afternoon . Nice to see him clapped at the end of a spell ; doesn’t seem to happen now.
This era was different....Beauty of this cricket was sportsmanship , if you were caught batsman walked without even waiting for umpire’s decision.... No too much of celebration on taking a wicket.... Today ‘s cricket is full of drama , running around , thumping fists in air .... 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
This is wonderful! I would have been only five years old so don't remember this at the time. Shame Old didn't have the longevity of Anderson. Totally different era.
The first bowling machine installed at the MCC Indoor School at Lords was nicknamed 'Chris Old' because although it was capable of bowling fast and accurately, it broke down frequently! What a tremendous test match career Chris Old would have had, if only he had made it on to the playing field more often in England's colours!
this was the test when Kanhai disagreed with a decision by Umpire Arthur Fagg, which upset the umpire so much that Alan Oakman was obliged to stand for a couple of overs so perhaps the sportsmanship wasn't quite as painted
Alan McGilvray commentated for an eternity before Richie. And John Arlott before that. Other well known commentators of the past include Jim Maxwell, Christopher Martin Jenkins, Peter West, Norman May, Ted Dexter, Jim Laker, Trevor Bailey, Brian Johnston, Jack Bannister, E W Swanton and Fred Trueman, although Dexter, Laker, Bailey and Trueman's playing careers overlapped with Benaud's.
Do you have the 3rd test at Lord's when the West Indies won by an innings & 226 runs and Boycott was manhandled by the jubilant West Indies support at the end of the 3rd day's play
What a expertise players accuracy appealing & Perfect Out walking out without hesitation such a sports sprits👍💪 but nowadays for everything 3rd umpire decesion and argument bulk salary more convenient more safety gaurds in very very little time play lazy players🦵

But this was the match where the umpire refused to take the field on the Saturday morning because his decision had been disputed the day before.
Dicky Bird was always over rated and made quite a few mistakes towards the end of his career.

Underwood was bowling much more slowly here than was the norm throughout his career. Interesting to see!
😅
Good to see Deadly Derek again though.

By all accounts Chris Old now knocks out fish n chips in Cornwall now.
Vanburn Holder was very underrated.
Another Brilliant Upload Keep It up
England seem so reluctant to celebrate a wicket. Times have changed.

Is this Edgbaston? I'm going there on 10th June to watch England vs New Zealand.
What a magnificent bowler was Boyce!
When did the top 5 have 4 from Guyana, Frederick, Lloyd, Kanhai, Kalli? A rwcord for WI?
How can that be a record for west indies? How?
@@chaoticustt , also Gibbs . 5 from Guyana.
Kanhai ,Joe Soloman , lance Gibbs , Basil Butcher.
This is not a record … In the Caribbean in 1968 the we had four Guyanese - Steve Camacho , Rohan Kanhai, Basil Butcher and Clive Lloyd in the top 5….
Enjoyed this
Fantastic upload / match
Thanks so much for posting this.

Chris Old was sharp!
Sharp and very accurate bowler

One has to wonder why England captains continued to put Fletcher in the slips, they never learned. Worst catcher and fielder they ever had.

I dont have the full series
@@windiescricketvideos5977 the third test had huge centuries from Kanhai and Sobers. Would love to see those
Dennis Ay-miss, not Amiss
Where’s Gordon Greenidge ?
Still in high school.
1975 debut
A little before his time. He made his test debut around eighteen months later.
honing his skills prior to making his international debut in 1974
Why did all the blacks in the crowd hate Boycott so much? Had he said something controversial?
He hit the ball, got caught and never walked!
Geoffrey Boycott was abigot. Racist@@batmandestroys1978
Thad, was it all 'The Black People;Are You Sure'?
