Westindies test cricket demise began from 1995 when Aussies defeated them on their home soil (in over 2 decades, their 1st defeat at home). Ever since, they've never ever recovered.
Unfortunately the real issue is the modern west Indians dont see cricket as cool anymore. Young jamaicans for example play soccer or nfl now instead . Any elite athlete 6ft4 plus would also be poached for track and field .
I love how they have such smooth and repeatable actions despite having appreciable pace and movement. Current west indian bowlers have pace but they lose their shape and can't produce enough movement. You can't defeat batsmen with just pace in this era.

From memory it was probably England that had the weakest pace attack of that era and he can never play against them. Gough and Caddick don't really worry the top order of the top teams of this time period.Nearly every one of the fast bowlers of Atherton's generation is regarded as one of the undisputed greats. McGrath & lee , Srinath, Akram and Younis, Pollock and Donald, Walsh and Ambrose etc etc. Nevermind the 2nd tier of fast bowlers like Prasad, Vaas and Fleming. That's a tough for an opening batsman

I'm only 33 with a rabid cricket addict in my dad. He had a huge impact for my passion for the game, which, however, really grew on me late in my highschool years. However, the short of the long, is that dad has all these VCR tapes and a still functioning player, and I have to say, it is a joy watching the generation of West Indian players going back to Kalicharan, Lloyd, Kanhai, Sobers, Greenidge, Rowe, Richards, Haynes, Dujon, Roberts, Holding, Garner, Marshall and then later, Lara, Walsh, Ambrose and so many others, who I love watching the most across any generation of players from any part of the world since. I never saw them playing live, but watching these tapes made me appreciate just how charismatic yet humble they were even in their dominant years as world champions. I still rate them as the greatest cricket entertainers ever with their cavalier batting, brilliant fielding, punching batting gloves mid-wicket and exuberant celebration on taking wickets. They were infectious and I can understand why they drew huge crowds wherever they played, most obviously because they loved the game with immense passion. Despite hailing from different countries, they played with great unity, loyalty and respect for one another, which for me, made them extra special. I have to say, if that generation was around today, all of them would be the world's first sporting billionaires.
after Grame Goach & Ian Bothem England was very week. Alec Stewart & Flintoff was really good. Now England team is in good condtion after 2005 to onward. now he is very strong.
This series, and more precisely, Walsh, got me into cricket. He got Thorpe (a wonderful batsman) twice this series with 2 of the most incredibly disguised slower balls you'll ever see. He _almost_ got him a third time but Thorpe just about jammed his bat down on it. What a bowler.
He had a few of them to face - Warne/McGrath, Donald/Pollock, Waqar/Wasim, Walsh/Ambrose. Averaging 38 when that's what you're up against is no disgrace.
@@alfredjohnson2647 it's actually really impressive because if he managed to get through them, he'd have the likes of Murali to face. Atherton could have been in mid 40s for an average in a more favourable era.
You could make the argument that no other opener in history has had to face the consistently outstanding quality of new-ball bowling than Atherton did. Pakistan, Australia, the Windies and South Africa (who incidentally were the teams Atherton played the most tests against in his career) all had all-time-great attacks, and his record against all was not bad at all - 38 v Aus, 25 v Pak, 36 v SA, and 37 v Windies). Add to the fact that pitches were generally less batsman friendly during his career, to call him a bunny is way off the mark.
Those were days when bowling was special... These are bowlers you look forward to see bowling.... Not many, rather none of today's bowlers seem to give the excitement that these greats gave when they bowled.... Great days those were!!!!
Yet eng won this game. Bowled out WI for 54 after this. Got themselves a target of 180. Chased it with just 2 wkts in hand!Proper dog fight. Had WI won this, they wud have been 2-0 up and surely won the series. Instead they lost 3-1! WI cricket could have been so much different with a series win then!
Try to get a video of that 54 all out and check the umpiring decisions... WI cricket would've benefitted greatly from a win, but the umpires had other ideas (and WI still came close to victory). As a West Indian, I still remember that game almost 19 years on.
Walsh got a six for in that innings. Almost pulled it back for the Windies. In fact Walsh was just doing the business in that series, getting over 30 wickets. The batting by both teams also left a lot to be desired
Michael Slater started doing commentary even before he retired.He toured India in the 2001 series.This fact would have remained unknown to me had the name of the commentators was not being uploaded during the start of the video.
True cricket fans don't come to see batting... they come to see such Windies level bowling! 🔥🔥🔥 Damn! Lots of love from an Indian cricket fan in Canada! 🇮🇳🇨🇦

You could make the argument that no other opener in history has had to face the consistently outstanding quality of new-ball bowling than Atherton did. Pakistan, Australia, the Windies and South Africa (who incidentally were the teams Atherton played the most tests against in his career) all had all-time-great attacks, and his record against all was not bad at all - 38 v Aus, 25 v Pak, 36 v SA, and 37 v Windies). Add to the fact that pitches were generally less batsman friendly during his career, to call him a bunny is way off the mark.
Corrie De Beer 😂 a bit racist beer
yes...you are Right😂😂
look at the fucking face of that Englishman 😃😃
80's bowling peaks in WestIndies

Love to see West Indies team like this..😍😍
Those were days when bowling was special... These are bowlers you look forward to see bowling.... Not many, rather none of today's bowlers seem to give the excitement that these greats gave when they bowled.... Great days those were!!!!
Walsh
Ambrose
Dillon
King
Rose
These 5 men in bowling from WI, we will never forget them, our childhood heroes
Exactly they are masterpiece time once past never can be recalled
Precious memories. May i live to see bright days in WI Cricket again.
My all time favorite bowling line up
Kyle Ambrose was such as a Legendary bowler in his era⚾⚾⚾
Wish Cricket was still this competitive, with every country producing top talent and the stadiums packed
Yet eng won this game. Bowled out WI for 54 after this. Got themselves a target of 180. Chased it with just 2 wkts in hand!Proper dog fight. Had WI won this, they wud have been 2-0 up and surely won the series. Instead they lost 3-1!
WI cricket could have been so much different with a series win then!
Try to get a video of that 54 all out and check the umpiring decisions... WI cricket would've benefitted greatly from a win, but the umpires had other ideas (and WI still came close to victory). As a West Indian, I still remember that game almost 19 years on.
Walsh got a six for in that innings. Almost pulled it back for the Windies. In fact Walsh was just doing the business in that series, getting over 30 wickets.
The batting by both teams also left a lot to be desired
Michael Slater started doing commentary even before he retired.He toured India in the 2001 series.This fact would have remained unknown to me had the name of the commentators was not being uploaded during the start of the video.
Ha didn’t even think about that. Just so used to him being a commentator now that I thought nothing of it.
True cricket fans don't come to see batting... they come to see such Windies level bowling! 🔥🔥🔥 Damn! Lots of love from an Indian cricket fan in Canada! 🇮🇳🇨🇦
@6:24 i heard this in EA cricket !!
Sahi pakde hai 😅
Exactly
Yeah I was thinking the same
siddarth vemula LOL 👌🏾
Good observation
My right ear is feeling lonely😂
Your right ear has gone wrong
@@nativetube Cause we r watching this by phones with earphones on,We r only able to listen from left ear in this very video.
😂
the Garner, Marshall, Holding, Roberts, Croft era that preceeded was even deadlier
My childhood legend ambrose....
Timber breaking sound.. ambrose..ambrose..still my fav bowler
Walsh and Ambrose duo is Deadly
I love Michael Holding, the bowler from Hell. 🔥
Back when cricket really used to be a gentleman's game!
This Gentle Giants used to appear so effortless but were always effective. On point!!!!!! The Greatest fast bowling Duo the game will perhaps ever witness!
