@@farmercraig6080 Probably. they were hit hard by the rebel tour and probably needed 4 or 5 from the SA trip on the England tour. Hughes. Hohns and Rackerman spring to mind. The bowling would have certainly been better than Englands
Fabulous interview. Terry Alderman is my favourite ever seam/ swing bowler and I'm English. I was lucky enough to see him bowling in the flesh at Old Trafford in that '89 series.
In 1989 at the oval we managed to get into the pavilion and outside the presentation box and he walked past me from picking up a award, I was 5ft tall and he looked like he was 7ft tall
He destroyed us (England) in our own backyard in that 89 Ashes series. I've never seen an Aussie bowler more suited to English swing conditions than him. I'm just damn glad Australia didn't send him to the 85 Ashes series.
I wouldn't have recognized him now with the beard he's got. Still, great in English conditions especially to Graham Gooch, had him LBW nearly every time in 1989
It'd have been worth asking his way of looking at how he lost his place in the team & retired. After his comeback following serving the ban for the rebel tour he was the strike bowler for Australia, especially after the second very successful Ashes in England. It is often said that he did not enjoy the kind of success he did in England, anywhere else. But he did quite well in the 3 test series at home against Pakistan in which he had 13 wickets in 3 innings with 2 5 wicket hauls. Then bowled quite well in the one off test away against NZ where he got 4 wickets in the first innings & seemed a fitting rival to Richard Hadlee, although he like his mates couldn't stop them from winning, in the 2nd innings. Then in the Ashes at home that followed, he started quite grandly, with his 6 for in the 2nd innings & overall 8 in the match, winning it with him being the MOM. He was then overshadowed by Bruce Reid in the next match. In the last 2 matches he was again overshadowed, this time by Craig McDermott who was making a robust comeback. Then they toured the West Indies where his mantle went to McDermott & Mike Whitney was preferred to him in the beginning of the series to team up with McDermott & Merv Hughes in the place of an underconfident Reid due to the usual mindset of team managements that a left armer would bring variety to the attack. But Whitney went wicketless & Reid was then played but failed to deliver. It's only then that he got his chance, in the last test of the series. He got only one wicket in that & was not considered for the home series against India. & sometime later announced his retirement.
Aussies should have won the `89 series 6-0 as Rain saved England in 2 of the Tests. Terry could easily have got close to 50 wickets as One and Half England Innings was lost. I loved watching that `89 series as Australia had been so under-rated. Before the Test series they played 3 one day Internationals . I think England may have won that 2-1, but remember watching Alderman bowl in the one dayers thinking to myself this guy is going to be a real handful in the test series with slips and gulleys in place, and so it proved. Was actually disappointed that he was not included in the `93 Ashes tour
surely every Ashes fan suspected the aussies took the 500-1 bet against themselves in 1981 due to what happened but Terry confirming it is class. what did the cricketing public make of that when they found out? 😂
Legend my arse only did well against mediocre england teams his record against other teams was not the same how many test wickets did he take probably no more than 150.
What are they talking about? As if young kids learning to bowl don't want to try to swing the ball. Sounds like they're making up problems just so they have something to talk about.
One of the best swing bowlers from Australia. Great debut in 1981 in England and had a awesome series in 1989. Just missed the tour of 1985.
This was fascinating, Alderman had a good career.
that's a great interview he'd s great player very articulated person and honest about his career
The best seam/swing bowler in English conditions ive seen in the 50 years ive watched cricket
I 2nd that.
If only he hadn’t gone on the rebel tour, when Australia needed him in 1985, things might have been different.

@@dlamiss yes that’s right.
What about compared to Akram or Anderson
Fabulous interview. Terry Alderman is my favourite ever seam/ swing bowler and I'm English.

Terry could swing balls around right angles.
As a 16 year old in 1989 I was amazed with his match winning bowlers
In 1989 at the oval we managed to get into the pavilion and outside the presentation box and he walked past me from picking up a award, I was 5ft tall and he looked like he was 7ft tall
One of my favorite cricketers whom I followed. Like he said patience was his real strength.
Thatcher lbw b Alderman
Great bowler. Destroyer of England.

He signed onto the rebel tour of Sth Africa in 85
Alderman was sensational.Still looks in good shape.From a Saffer
One of the great Australian bowlers.
The best bowler I ever seen in English conditions and always had a fixed smile from a pom
Great interview.Some beautiful life stories to strengthen your life journey.
One of the best Aussie bowlers of the last 50 years, and that’s saying something.
I wouldn't have recognized him now with the beard he's got. Still, great in English conditions especially to Graham Gooch, had him LBW nearly every time in 1989
So good to see you Terry....❤
What a magnificent servant to Australian Cricket 👏👏👏 from a KIWI
Forgot to mention his greatest innings to support Kim Hughes to that famous 100* against the West Indies on Boxing Day 1981.

It’s been common knowledge for decades. No one thinks Dennis or Rod threw the match.
incredible bowler.
Dickie was definitely a 'not outer'
He’s a car crash interviewer
I reckon he looks like a heavier version of prince harry.

Hey mate have you played test cricket cause if not you shouldn't be saying nothing cause two 40+ wicket series is not an easy feat to do
What are they talking about?
