I was in 9 th std.we did not have a TV at home.our's was a small village and only TV available was at school.we used to wake up very early in the morning and used to watch match with other friends from my village.Great memories.
My friends in nearby houses used to join us at 04.00 am and we used to enjoy it on our B/W TV. That was a sharp & crystal clear telecast. I still remember that my mother used to serve tea & snacks to all of us😊😊
We had no TV at this time.i use to wake up at 4am and run to my friend's home which was 4 km distance.his mother use to scold me.wonderful days.
Good old golden days. I was in ninth std . Myself and my brother use to woke up early morning 3.30 am to see all these matches of Benson and Hedges cup. Mother gets angry, so we kept TVs sound volume at low level .
You must be reaching 50s now. How fast time passed away.
@@kapilbhardwaj4680 Age is not a barrier to re-visit pleasant memories.
Same mother hood to me louder if we switch on early morning
Because one day cricket matches was best in Australia on those days coloured clothing and white balls huge grounds too
I was watching with my brother & Dad during those early cool mornings under zero volume, after setting a wake up alarm. Same with my mother too but our Dad defended us😊. We brushed our teeth during the break & watched the second session of the match with warm coffee always. We always used to fear David Boon’s devastating batting.Great memories!
Cricket has changed so much these days, but 1980s 1990s even low score matches were fantastic to watch.
back in days of cricket Bowlers and batters were pathetic and had poor technical skills.
The golden era of cricket.What a cricket was,the real cricket.
I remember This Match having watched it on T.V when in class 9. We were big fans of k.srikanth and Kapil Dev. Lingering memories of getting up at 5 a.m to watch the telecast. missing those days of pure and fearless cricket..Indian team was not to be taken lightly..
I am am also in your age group bhai. I watched this match on black & white Dynora TV as a 4th std

1983 truly was revolution in world cricket as passion for one day cricket in Asia started
Amarnath, sreekanth, vengsarkar they are the real creater of indian cricket..
It was a really great to watch on TV those days. We used to wake up at 3am and some time we missed our school for cricket. Amazing days
Yes
बिलकुल सही
TV channel 9 coverage and cameras were world class that time and it was beautiful to watch matches in Australia.
Great to watch srikant without helmet its show how confidence he was.
मेरे जऩ्नत जैसे बचपन के ज़माने का मैच।
मैच धेखकर बचपन के दिन याद आ गए।
India ki team nahi pahle mumbai ki team khelti thi. 7-8 players were from one part of country. Thats why we were loosing so many matches. Thanks to Dada (sourav ganguli) for making team india
Golden era for not only indian cricket but also for international cricket playing countries...artistic bravery with sportsmanship at peak ...used to wake up at 3.30AM by my father who himself was an enthusiastic viewer when i was in 9th standard
Srikanth is fearless batsman
what a man Mohinder Amarnath kudos and all respect for him being one of the greatest sportsman to come out of many from India we rarely see this but something to learn for all in life.
³³³3³
Probably the best against pace attacks.
Mohinder Amarnath, sadly underrated. He was fiercely expressive of his views about the dull selection committee and hence played less for India, but i liked this frank quality of him and has always been his great fan. I am 60 now. I wish Sri. Mohinder Amarnath & his family remain in good health, wealth and peace of mind always.
i am a big fan of Mohindernath
Amazing childhood memories of waking up at the crack of dawn and watching these games. The coloured clothing, white ball, channel 9 commentary was nothing short of miraculous for us kids used to dreary DD coverage where it was fun to play ”spot the ball”😂
Exactly.
Would marvel the sights . Still gives goosebumps of those boyish days.
Great feeling. Early morning. Clear view. Richie of course. What a comentary. Thank you Channel 9.Nothing short of dream viewing
Haha yes DD coverage in those days was miserable. They always searched for the ball after a shot and would show a grainy fielder chasing “something” 😂😂😂
I use to get up in early in the morning and watch BEnson And Hedges game.
What a gesture from Jimmy...still he is smiling
True sportsmanship👌
Srikant without helmet facing fast bowlers ..those era was something different ..I was in class 6th on that year.
satyakam pradhan that means you are now 42 or 44 !
same for Gavaskar..always wore a white hat and beneath a head guard sort off in all matches..1986 yes I too was in grade 6th then, Richard Hadlee got an Audi( I assume) as man of series then though NZ were 3rd position as being lost to India in semis

And scoring 30 of 70
Real batting..... Wonderful to watch.... even a defensive shot is also very attractive..
Thos days the cricket match was really a lifetime evergreen moment, which will never come back again.
Back when the 50 over ODI's really meant something. Only a few in each city in Australia each summer. They'd always be sell outs. 90,000+ here at the MCG for Australia v India... It was a big event!

Allen Border greatest Aussie captain of his time
His time, that too just for Aussies ???? He's one of the greatest skippers of ALL TIME, in the same league as Clive Lloyd.
Love those beautiful days, when this gentleman 's game was pure entertainment. Fond memories of watching this match.
I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Ty Darwin Instablaster =)
I remember i was in class 10th in 1986 , this match Commentry listen by all friend on all india radio at till morning
Fine days I never forgot
Instead of Azhar bowling slow medium in the crucial overs, Kapil could have tried Amarnath / Srikaanth as his bowling options.....this was an important final and sometimes the Indian bowling looked very ordinary.
Saw this match live in my childhood. I was too disappointed by the way my favourite Amarnath handled the ball to get himself out.
wow this is amazing i used have this game recorded on my beta video recorder when i was a kid and lost the tape. Finally i get to see it again 30 years later !!!
Fantastic George. Enjoy!
We were there as kids too !! Camera flashed on us when Mo Matthews got a wicket !!
nice !!!

how cool is that!!
Too good!
May be school final days, no TV, yet heart and ears flew over to neighbour's TV. Mama's strictness, my unwanted mind, blank eyes use to run over the books, neighbourhood enjoyment, after fall of each australian wickets would collapse me of excitement. Years after we owned TV but still Miss those golden days.
Miss that Indian team.
Same emotions bhai tears come
What a horrible English.
I was in 10 th class gud old days, loved cricket to the extreme.
Interesting match, Srikanth (known as a fast scorer) scored 37 off 71 balls!! On the other hand Ravi Shastri (renowned as a super slow scorer) scored 49 off just 52 balls!!! And this against Aus in Aus at the world's biggest cricket ground (MCG).
Maybe. But this was after Srikkanth being ridiculed for playing irresponsibly. Srikkanth was the real inventor of aggressive cricket (adopted later by players like Jayasuriya, Greatbatch, Sehwag, etc.). Don't compare Shastri and Srikkanth. They had different styles.
Ravi was tuk tuk as opener.He had the game to hit sixes against spinners whenever he played in middle order.
Mo Matthews caught and balled was great! Kris Srikkanth was a big hitter!
.
He was an underrated player,he could bat, average 41,and a good fielder,he bowling in Sheffield shield was very good,if welham, Taylor,or Lawson were captain then better field would have been set,he was no mug,and I wish he had played more.
Greg Matthews should have played a lot more test cricket for Australia. Very underrated player and he was a very good batsman. In fact a very good all rounder.
Thank you to the one who had shared this video,I was able to recollect this match when I saw in B/W TV at my schooling along with my neighbors friends
I remember this series i wokup early morning 4 o clock and watch all matches in black and white tv and all matches realy in 9 channel very good coverage i really enjoy
Old days..having b/w tv. But the magic of channel 9 to force to see the match even early in the morning. Gavaskar and shrikant. Ball going to fence fielder running after it. An eye-catching stuff.
Allan Border. Greatest Aussie captain.
Sadly, most aussies don't acknowledge this.
Greg Chappel is the best captain.
Huge Australian grounds those days. Now the boundary is shortened. That's why more fours and sixes .
I saw this match live ..when I was in 8th std one and only Colour TV Dayanoro..in our village.
Mohinder out new live incident out on those time.
I was in 8th std too watching this match live on our colour TV(EC TV). Great memories!
Both Indian Openers were facing fast bowlers without Helmets !!! Brave batsmen !!
Whenever Gavaskar became out it was considered fishy. He was only guy who could play for 2 days continuously.
Bruce Reid, David Boon..
Two contrasting shades of sportsman
Those days are so beautiful I was in college early in the morning wake up and see the matches wake up and see the matches what a day's ❤❤
I watch Entire Series Live Great Memories .
Those were the days...Benson & Hedges with the cricket and Winfield with the League.
Those were days when Australia used to win almost every match against India and India used to crumble under pressure. And miraculously Australia used to tick all the right boxes.
What an atmosphere what an wether what an people what an organisation what an joy what an skills what an sport days to remember fell the feel for ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Shrikant is a first indian aggresive one day player
Absolutely Right 😊

Srikanth facing the speedsters without even a cap ..and gavaskar with jus a skull cap 🙏🙏
They couldn't bowl bouncers without giving away a no-ball, that's why many players didn't wear helmets in one-dayers.
Watched this live in manipal hostel early morning in my final year

Thanks Costa Sports for this wonderful upload including the presentation. The clarity was great. I have seen many matches after this time and even in recent times, the matches did not have this clarity.
These were the matches and their live telecast,which taught us how a cricket match should be televised.
Richie Benaurds voice and Srikanths fire works great combination 👌
After watching T20 nowadays, the 50 overs ODI appears to be so slow. I remember watching this series when I was in 11th std.
True
That was classic cricket
Australian grounds had crazy settings those days, Black side screen was inside the boundary line and spiky fence which injured many players while fielding.
1985 India Pak B &H final in Melbourne, I think one player(Rameez raja) got hurt as he fell on the spiky fence while trying to catch a sixer
@@satya4uall it was wasim raja I guess
I miss the cricket it once was
Alan border . The captain who leads from the front. A calm head on his shoulders. Great grafter of runs . Some of today's batsmen could learn how to play a test innings
Dhoni in this era
@@ganessinv as an Indian, I too happen to greatly admire MSD. But Allan Border is in a different league altogether. Dhoni no doubt was apart from being a great skipper also a great batsman. But his batsmanship genius was limited mostly to ODIs while the true examination of batting greatness is still measured based on how one performs against tough opponents in adverse conditions in tests. And history, stats as well as analytical judgement are witness to the fact Border is next only to Sir Don Bradman as Australia's greatest batsman ever and one of the greatest in all cricket history, ahead in several quarters of even the likes of Jacques Kallis, Ricky Ponting, even Viv Richards and several more. While as a captain, Border competes directly with Clive Lloyd, Peter May and Steve Waugh.
In short, some "borders" aren't meant to be crossed.
Greg Mathews great catch!
I remember the match w 2:08 atching live.
I had traveled 200kms to my elder sister's house who had a konark colourt TV at that time.
Srikant being caught and bowled by Mathews was the turning point.
Srikanth the most liked player of 1980s
the good old days something meaningful in one day cricket ,short of the 50 over world cup nowadays odis there is nothing i miss the world series cup
I remember this match watching in our previous black and white, television,
Golden days.this was the strongest team of India till now.
Sunilji please craft another sunil to keep test cricket alive because test cricket is the real art of this gentleman man's game faisalabad 127 not out of 82 is sunil a masters innings thank u the master opener of alltimes
Kapil Dev speaking after match looks so natural better than today's show off cricketer s
This Benson&hedges cup has given complete satisfaction for Indian audians
Big boundary & good bowling green pitch.
Those were the golden days of Indian cricket
Excuse me ? Kuch bhi
@@deol0161 83 worldcup winners,85 World series winners both in alien conditions.Similar pair is dhoni days only.
Amazing childhood memories.
At that time Kapil dev is hero
Australia post Rodney Marsh's retirement were consistently short of a consistent wicketkeeper batsman before Border bought Ian Healy in the squad.
Yes, poor Wayne"flipper"Phillips was a pretty decent bat,and maybe,I repeat maybe second string keeping, it ruined him and ultimately,no more tests .
Those Best of 3 BH series were wonderful...why did they stop it!!
This is the trophy where Ravi Shastri won man of series of benson and hedges.
Those golden days no bettings,no auctions of the players and pure cricket only.
Thank you ❤
Shocked to see Azhar as part time bowler..Good effort by Indians..Ravi Shastri deserve 50..On top it was Australian Caption Border for an amazing 50+ not out.,
those days ind will lose most of the matches in Aus, nightmare for an ind fan.
This series is a strarting point for aus domination followed by 1987 wc win 1992 they played well except wc 1996 runner up and a hatric wc champion there after
In this match Shrikant not wearing a helmet while he opened the inning against McDermott and Reid. What a daring batsman he was?
This was the first piece of silver Australia won under Allan Border, already a year into his captaincy. The second was the 1987 World Cup, which I as a 14 year old going on 15 was going to be happy, going into the tournament just to make the semi-finals! They should have won the wsc the next year, but Botham bothamed them in the finals, then after that aforementioned world cup victory, won their first test series (under border] at home the following summer. They won the wsc that year - 1987-88 - , then won back the Ashes in 1989 and from then on, only the still mighty West Indies thrawted Australia until Mark Taylor took over, followed by Steve Waugh andRicky POnting. It is a crime to undersell what Allan Border did to revive Australian cricket.
Border brought in a culture to Australian cricket. He got a rockstar's welcome whenever he played at home. He got that extremely competitive spirit and never die attitude. I would say he was the man who brought ruthlessness to Aussie cricket. 1992 world cup was Australia's to lose but 4 other teams played out of their skin to reach the semifinals. Taylor had a gentleman approach to cricket but Steve brought in the ruthless attitude, the rest was history until Clarke arrived.
Thanks to Srikanth Sir🙏❤️
🙏❤️All Indian Cricket Kings 🙏❤️👍
I remember, it was always very good match with Australia as Indian batsmen took chances for big hits against them in between
Reid bowling style and body language was similar to that of Glen McGrath...
When cricket was a beautiful game ......
Yes that was the real cricket

Check average batting score of Dileep vengsarkar.... Amazing batsman
Krishnamachari Srikanth and Sunil Gavaskar never wears helmet... Gavaskar wears a skull cap....i watched those matches in my school days.... early in the morning on DD the only channel...had a Dyanora colour tv in Bangalore.....The match was broadcast by the Channel 9 of Australia....those were the days where all the oneday international matches were played in white clothing....but in Australia it was the coloured clothing with white ball..... their relay was world class even now we haven't watched that technology...the commentary team headed by Richie Bernard and team was top notch...the concept of duck out was by the Channel 9....those were the golden days of cricket.
Beautiful Commentary by Tony Grieg...Bill larry...Tony cozier
I became friends with Roger many years after this game, I told him that our nickname for him was ''Rubbish'' which he smiled at. At least I wa splaying for my country.....
