Many of you have pointed out that the pics and video footage are not from the Test in discussion. Yes, and the end credits state as much. Pics and videos are for representational purposes only. Archived footage from this era isn't easily available on the internet for reproduction.
The Vengsarkar bit at the three-minute mark is erroneous in audio but a correction is made in the subtitles. Apologies for the error.
thx for the effort but how can one get to watch those matches...India in west indies 76, than the second season of Kerry packer in 78-79 in west indies , with Thommo spell in Barbados. HISTORIC stuff....how can one get that ?
Nice video....thanks👍
Sir, pls read what I intend to write.
@4:53 "And there were no limits on beamers either"??? Beamers were always illegal in cricket (from the time of Bradman itself - that's why there is no instance of Larwood bowling beamers even at the height of bodyline). It was just that West Indian Umpires in 1976 were either too weak or too biased to call out their bowlers bowling beamers at Indian batsmen. Essentially West Indies cheated (flouted the rules) to win the match against India.
This a very one sided story, I was there and this guy narrating is obviously bias in his description and narrative.
So, Indian fans, who was "The Little Master" ? Many of you will say Tendulkar but for me (an Englishman btw) it was Gavaskar. Makes a good commentator too !
Sachin Tendulkar sold himself by tweeting a tweet
There was farmers movement for there rights and some celebrities and sachin tweeted same tweet there words were same it came from one place they just wrote as script says don't interfere in India's matter it's our personal matter no one should talk no matter what we do but these dual face people love to show off and love too support Black movement then they forget all that it's American personal matter they talk about Palestine isreal conflict but others should not support farmers or sikhs no matter what we do too them beat them arrest them hire celebrities too make a propoganda this happen many times in 84 aikhs were burned alive with tyres in there neck soo that they suffer more rubber fire is very slow you can't even imagine the pain of rubber burning how they died 😭😭
Still no justice and these people say Sikhs are asking for khalastan but which they don't at this time sikhs were fighting for people of india for there rights but people are soo blind here sikhs only gave them nothing taken from them not Even money in the name of minority we don't take any money from government infact sikhs gave food to lakhs of people every day help them in emergency when there relatives fear from going close sikhs help those covid patients Risking there own life sikhs done more then there government would do still they will not get any justice and these people will forget this also as they use to it history teaches us never ever do any good to them they backstab you and forget all but still Sikhs helping them this is real religious people Sikhs are not fool's they doing this bcz it's our duty sikh should not return enemy if enemy comes feed them help them if they need you forget your conflicts hunger got nothing too do with your personal matters don't hold grudge against anyone our guru's taught do good to who do bad too you anger don't last long this is believe of Sikhs World wide sewa charity we don't believe in boundaries all humans are same from one
From one all the world came to existing
Actually Gavaskar was the actual Little Master, Sachin was the Master Blaster ..
Hmm, I think origin of the little master is Hanif Mohammad.
@@ineedalawyer1240 -Haniff the king.
@spider man It’s okay, Not a big deal.
Mohindir Amarnath deserves more recognition. He must have been one of the bravest and best batsmen against pace. In 1976, he was hit in the face and hospitalised while trying to hook the pacemen. He returned in bandages and was out first ball; hooking.
In 1981/82, he was India's lone stalwart on a nightmarish 6-test tour of Pakistan followed by 5 tests in the West Indies. He scored over 500 runs in each series while skin, hair, stumps and bails flew all round. At home to West Indies next year, he got a string (or is it flock?) of ducks and was dropped, you can only ask so much. Hail the Nath!
Pls let us not forget the names of Madanlalji & Mohinder Amarmathji. Their statutes deserve to be built in the cricket stadia.
Legend has it , that Amarnath Yatra was celebrated after 83 world cup
👍 Spot on.
Armanath and Allan Border were my two heros of this era.
I'm a Pakistani who's following test cricket around the world since 1971. I like Mohindar Amarnath more than any of the Indian stars. He was the toughest of them all when the chips were down.
Getting to 306 on a tough pitch in overseas conditions losing just six wickets where few of them were basically not out and forced out of the match due to injury. Geez thats good
it should have happened to the Aussies of the humiliation on their own pitch, let them be reminded
Lloyd was instigated by what his team had from Aussies. But it all started by England in the bodyline series against the all time great Sir Don Bradman of Aussie. Lloyd chosen to use it against Indians was a surprise because India wasn't a big match winners in those days.
The anchor spoke much about Sunny, but valiant Anshuman Gaekwad, Mohinder are the real unsung heroes of India. They were made aayaram gayaram by the cricket board despite their performances with abilities. The Stylish Legend G.R.Vishwanath has become an unknown entity of Indian cricket with the efflux of time. They are all time greats of Indian cricket. See, no helmet, no headgear, no forearm pads, no digital cameras from multiple focus points, no drs, no power bats, no third umpire no limitations on bowling bouncers and beamers, no instant action against erring bowlers, no penalties, no MRI scans and above all no big money at all.
Yet, they played just for the sake cricket and on behalf of the Nation. Salutations to many many unsung heroes of Indian cricket. 👏👏👏👏🙋♂️🙋👍🙏
I wonder if India had zaheer shreeshant ishant shami bumrah Bhuvi at that time , the picture would be different then
@@tirthankarsarkar5254 Possibly. But I think the West Indies would have won by more. They were good players of quick, short pitched bowling, but not so good against top class spinners. It would have been interesting, though.
@@tirthankarsarkar5254 In India fast bowling arrived with the debut of Kapil Dev in 1979. Till then fast bowlers hardly had any encouragement and there were no fast bowling role models for youngsters as the stress always was on spin. Srinath , Venkatesh Prasad etc grew up watching Kapil Dev and the 90s saw the emergence of fast bowling in India and it kept improving day by day. This WI team got hammered in Australia prior to the arrival of India because the Australians under Ian Chappell were better at mind games and the crowds too were baying for their blood. But all said and done the fact remains that this WI team wilted under the assault of Lillee and Jeff Thomson. If present day Indian fast bowlers were there at that time they would have definitely given this WI team a run for their money and India would not have declared in both the innings
@@tirthankarsarkar5254 that collection of bowlers in nowhere near the quality the windies had.
@@vmsrinivas6230 well u have forgotten to mention the tiny fast bowler Ramakanth desai who bowled bouncers to the west indian batsmen and made them to bow and avoid getting hit. He may not be compared with wes hall, Roy ghilchrist but certainly Desai bowled his heart out.
A few things to keep in mind while comparing Gavaskar to today's Indian greats... no protection, no neutral umpires, no opportunity to practice against genuine pace bowling except on tour in real matches, no bowling machines, soft home pitches that did not in any way simulate the bounce and pace of Aus or WI, a mediocre Indian bowling attack (barring Kapil Dev) that was useless except when defending large totals. He faced the fastest bowlers the world had ever seen, with no restrictions placed on them whatsoever, and was India's best batsman and perhaps the best opener ever for more than 15 years.
The batsmen of those days (be it Gavaskar or Richards or Bradman or Sobers) will always be better than the batsmen who succeeded them, because of this sole reason! Cricket is not going back to the days of "no protection" because the world would rather not play the sport at all instead of playing it with no protection and risk deaths on the field. It has already happened inspite of helmets being present (e.g. Phil Hughes, Raman Lamba etc.). So short story.... let the Gavaskars and the Richards be the best of all time! Today's batsman dont care. And thats good!
True. It's was the time when every player was afraid & uncomfortable against the West Indian pace attack. Sunil gavaskar sir was the only player who scored 13 test centuries against them.
I rate him the highest of any player in the cricket history.
And with that useless attack India won WC 1983 Lol you😂
@@tanmay3093 Everyone who actually watched cricket at that time say that India's bowling was horrible.
@@lautheimpaler4686- tell that to those who faced the “Fab Four” spinners - Chandrasekhar, Prasanna, Venkatravaghan and Bishan Bedi.
Goddamn.... My respect for Mr. Gavaskar and all legends of that generation has grown more...🙏
West Indies are not really to blame - Those intimidation tactics were used first by Australia and England. West Indies decided enough was enough and they would not be bullied. They decided to fight fire with fire🔥 - India felt the first brunt and many followed!!
Yes absolutly right
Not to mention they copped just as much from Australia in 1975/76 and never before or after did they complain about it.
You clearly haven't heard of Wes Hall.
nope... They were barbarians ...
When the Australians did it with Lillie, Thompson et al, the media had no issues with the tactics. BUT, when the West Indies found four express bowlers, it was all of a sudden barbaric. Funny how the world is and how much the Aussies complained when the Windies returned. Sorry that the Indians had to experience it.
West Indies demise began with the introduction of cable TV and easier access American sports especially the NBA. The days of cricket being King in the West Indies are long gone. As a child in Antigua, I knew two sports in school for boys, Cricket and football with cricket being number one in our young minds because of WI dominance and the heroes it provided for us to aspire to. I joined my family in the US at about the age of 12. It took many years to return to Antigua, but when I did there were basketball courts all over with leagues being run. Where cricket once dominated most sports related arguments, the NBA with the powerhouses, Bulls, Lakers, Celtics Detroit Pistons were fast pushing for equal status. There are Basketball school leagues similar to high school basketball leagues in the states. Nin
I always said it was Micheal Jordan because in the early 90s we stopped cricket instead everyone was playing basketball and shooting in netball nets lol, a few years later there were basketball tournaments and fewer cricket competition
As an Indian 'am curious that, do youngster of West Indies loves test cricket or not ?

Look up Wisden dopey
Gavaskar is one of the best batsmen to have played the game. His not wearing a helmet, was par for the course in those days. Helmets, heavier bats and smaller cricket fields make it easier to play the game these days.
Wish there was some original footage of that series

But, your ViV Richards never faced the West Indian fast bowlers that too as an opening batsman.

He only crossed 50 once in both of these tours during the tour.
you think it's the 70s when you meet tame bowlers eh?when the West Indies went down under and the the Australians bounced them out you didn't criticize them. You came to win and so was the West Indies so what is the big deal ?
I'm glad India got their revenge in the 83 World Cup. One of the great one day performances and ended the West Indies domination forever...they never appeared in another final. It also makes me glad that we've returned to a more balanced era of bowling since Shane Warne, Murali and all the great Indian spinners as well as Abdul Qadir and Mushtaq Ahmed from Pakistan and Daniel Vittori from NZ. I'm happy to never go back to the era of 11 overs an hour no matter how good the Windies were. It says something about both sides when you look at the mess that West Indian cricket became once the great era finished and where Indian cricket is now. Gavaskar started all that then Kapil Dev built on it and continued to snowball until they reached their zenith with Tendulkar and Dhoni. Much respect from Australia for what they've built.
India was 50 to 1 to get to the final,100 to 1 ,to win the finals'.
Oh really. I do not think aussies got past windies before walsh and ambrose retired. The last known great fast bowlers from west indies. And not winning every single one day world cup does not make you less of a team especially when you are talking about test cricket. Windies were the team until early 90s, so i don't know what you are talking about, that not winning a 1983 final of one day ended their dominance forever. No, it just happened that they did not win that one match. I think westindies were the team to beat in throughout 80s. And yes india beat aussie 2-1 recently , thanks to india for that too. What do you want , all spin attack going at 20 overs per hour? That is what excites you.
@@rajldahl420 -The windies have not gone back to a World Cup final since 83.
@@philipwilliams1754 so ? How does that matter?
@@rajldahl420 -They simply could not regain their confidence.
There are few factual errors here - Dilip Vengasrkar didn't play in Port of Spain where India chased 403, it was GRV, SMG and Mohinder who got the runs. Also the picture of Indian manager is that of Vijay Hazare, not Polly Umrigar
Gavaskar was not the only great player at the time. In the 1971 series, dilip sardesai scored a double hundred. In 1971, india went on to win a series for the first time in england. This was part of a consecutive run of three series victories. Between 1971 and 1975, the indian team had three world class batsmen : gavaskar, vishwanath and amarnath. Vishwanath had the distinction of scoring 14 centuries at an average of 40 plus. Each century vishwanath scored led to a victory or draw for india. I know of no other batsman whose centuries were as influential in getting results for his team. The third world class batsman was mohinder amarnath. He also averaged 40 plus, and was a good medium pacer as well, one of the few medium pacers india had. He scored 9 out of 11 centuries overseas. I don't know of any world class test batsman who has scored such a high percentage of centuries overseas. In 1983 and 1984, amarnath was the best batsman in the world. The selectors made the mistake of dropping amarnath from time to time because early in his career, from 1969 to 1975, amarnath wasn't very good at playing fast bowling. He still deserved to be in the team as a middle order batting allrounder. His medium pace alone warranted selection. The fourth world class batsman is dilip vengsarkar. He also.averaged 40 plus. On top of this india had a quartet of world class spinners. We had 2 great offspinners in prasanna and venkatraghavan, a great left armer in bishan bedi and a unique legspinner in chandrasekhar, who, with his polio withered arm, bowled quick legspin, and even had a bouncer is his armoury, which was quite unique at the time. Add to this wicketkeeper kirmani, who had the unique distinction of learning how to keep wicket against a spin dominated attack in the 1970's and a pace dominated one in the 1980's, and averaging 27 with the bat, which is good for a lower order batsman, and you have the emergence of an indian team in which there were at any given time, between 5 to 8 world class players, who, by and large, were good at home, as well as overseas. Victories by these players in england and west indies ensured that touring teams started to send their best teams to india. In the 1950's and 1960's, india had a decent home record. But because india had a very poor away record, touring teams, especially england, underestimated india and didn't always send their best teams to india. The victories in england and the west indies in 1971 proved to be a wakeup call for other test playing nations to start taking india seriously. These victories were the first ever series victories of india in england and west indies. The first ever series victory of india came in 1967 in new zealand.
So much so much effing gibberish.
Vengsarkar made his debut in ,1976 ag newzeland and Mohinder never played a test match between 1971 to 1975 and was again selected in 1976 for newzeland tour though he made debut in1969
The class of Gavaskar remains immortal
One thing we all need to agree but... It is India which always stops the might of a team. ....at one point of time it was mighty west indies and then it was the mighty Australians.

How did they stop the West Indies of that time?
If anything they 'started the ball rolling' (no pun intended) for the era of dominance of West Indies cricket especially through their fast bowling as the commentator described!
🤔
This was a baptism of fire and the Windies had to avenge the 1971 series loss under Gary Sobers. Justice was done. Taste of the calypso kings!!
Are you serious?
@@arranpattison5809 hes implying the 1983 wc win prob
@@arranpattison5809 Dude! When we countered west indes Gavasker was the only batsman who could face west indies in west indies!
Cricket is generally called a gentleman's game...please note the term GENTLEMAN ...getting on the pitch with the intent of physically hurting someone just to prove a point or to satisfy personal ego is an expression of narrow and disturbing mentality . What if back in those days someone lost a life on the field ? A sportsman should first be a good human being. Glad the ICC has brought in regulations which has added human sensitivity to the sport .
Well India was always bad, it took 60 years to form a decent team. Now with all the people following cricket and great deal of commercialization, the board became too strong and has enough resources to create a good coaching program to create a decent team. If India could create fast bowlers they would have done it as well, so stop with the nonsense of taking the higher road . Just look at Kohli and co trash talking all the time. On the same note, we all know what road BCCI and their cronies take !!! At least Windies played with joy and flair unlike the uptight Indian batsmen !!! They beat a good Australian team, England, and had a fascinating contest with the Pakistan team, all this without the aid of technology and computer analysis.
@@arduinohome3729 you still dont get it do you? Read my comment again .What i am trying to say is excessive violence and aggression could easily kill someone on the field.I believe what ever maybe your country of origin you and I are part of a civilized world and these sportsmen are the best entertainers and not gladiators who are massacaring each other for the delight of those in the stadium.Enjoy the sport and not the aggression.In any game both parties cant win but it takes an actual human being with sensitivity and big heart to accept that the opposite team was better and that we have to better than them next time...but that doesn't mean that the next we face we would be holding the willow or the ball to cause the other teams player injury that maybe career ending or life taking.I hope you have seen the light.This game is for entertainment not to fulfil someone's sick murdeous whim.Peace.
Windies didn’t start the pace, Lillie and Thommo taught them a brutal lesson and following that Windies found some good talent and dished it back. Nothing gentlemanly or not in that , they played within the rules. All that is being conveyed is if any country had such resources at hand they would have employed it at that time.
@@arduinohome3729 Look at the present Indian team.This is the best Indian side to play the game.They have convincingly beaten Australia not once but twice back to back in Australia and they also demolished West Indies in West Indies back in 2018.
Develop some muscles and stop complaining.
One bouncer rule would have never been introduced if there were no Wasim n Waqar. It was just to apply brakes to their aggression, pathetic & biased western mentality against subcontinent teams.
As far this IND/WI series, till now I heard a lot about brutality of WI bowlers but didn't know that how bravely Indian batting line-up faced them. A record chase of 403 against a furious bowling line-up needs great courage & determination, absolutely miraculous . Then 306/6 on a wicket like Jamaica, was not less than a nightmare, especially without any modern day protection. WI nailed India by sending their players to hospital instead of making their way to Pavilion, brutal approach, otherwise it could have been a different story. Anyways, I didn't see much of Indian players of that era but right to conclude that that Indian line-up may be regarded as all time great Indian batting side, solid & courageous. Hats off to Bedi n company from Pakistan👍👍👍 .
You can't compare Wasim and Waqar with WI bowlers dude! WI bowlers were killing machines consistently bowling 95kmph. What are you talking??!!
@@predatorprey8656 BTW I didn't compare, just discussed bouncer rule reasoning.
Anyways, these are your thoughts dude but I want to disagree respectfully. Nothing to take away from WI bowlers but while going into comparison with W's, just compare the condition and pitches as well. Also, modern protection guards were not in place in 70's, feeling batsmen less secure. More special, no /over bouncer limit , making a genuine pacer more fierceful. So providing the conditions ,protections & change of rules in their era, I think W 's were really at top. Moreover, if it is only hitting the body or generating the super pace makes someone best, then Shoaib Akhtar should stand far ahead of Wasim, similarly Thompson over Lillie and Lee over Mc Grath should have an edge but it is not the case.
@@adeelusmani5132 frankly, I'd take wasim over almost all the windies bowlers. The man was a bloody magician with the ball. Absolute king of pace and swing. And could bat too.
@@ussspirit4812 Absolutely bro. When some experts asked Brian Lara about the greatest bowler he faced, without pause he replied, "Wasim Akram by a mile". Further he added, while making 400 runs if someone could trouble him then that would be Wasim Akram only.
One of his closest rival of the game, great Allan Donald once asked about his views to be the best in business at that time. He replied, no it is not me but infact Akram is the true best.
Another cricketing great AB Devillier said that Wasim was best among the bowlers he had ever seen. When asked if there was someone in current Pak team to match his caliber, he replied not just in Pakistan even not in the whole world could anyone match him.
Wasim and Waqar were not short pitch intimidators like the West Indian bowlers. Waqar especially was all about hitting the stumps.

This was a cowardly behaviour from West Indies team, they are by no means great, they just can't out any batsman by proper cricketing skills, so they used such tectics to injure a batsman, this is not the bowling skill, just show of physical strength, no swing, no reverse swing, no Yorker, no out side off stump bowling, no cutter only beamer and bouncers, poor bowlers, definitely not great.
Destiny took it's revenge in 1983
This body line bowling was unfortunate, brutal and would be remembered for ever for onslaught as it to me was unfair to hit the batsman instead of stupms
Those body line bowlers will be smacked sixes all over the park by today's T20 generation batsman. They were brutal those days just because there were no protective equipments for batsmen to escape from body line balls.
The problem really was that Indians were small people compared to Caribbean people. Our fast bowlers faced big tough batsmen who can regularly smash them to the boundary. When scrawny Indians faced those bowlers they were not ready.
Should the West-Indians complain about India's finesse bowlers? Made no sense. You utilize your advantage.
at least this is what the Aussies did to the West Indies, that within itself was a reminder to the West indies, that they would have to step up-
-the Aussies humiliated the West indies and Clive was certain that this was not going to happen again. the Aussies were bowling lots of bouncers, but no one was complaining, not even the West Indies. now the West Indies captain understood how to respond and someone was going o pay for this dreadful humiliation in Australia
You have a bat defend yourself!
@@sahasransusbarik That's a joke...I don't see many batsmen of today that would be able to smack them around the ground (helmet or no helmet)...most of the bowlers of today pale in comparison to those great West Indian and Australian fast bowlers.
Windies had their Karma following them everywhere ever since they lost 2 matches in the WCC 1983 and they never recovered after that and today WI cricket is limping and their cricket board is full of internal problems and Windies had their windfall after Y2K and today they are nowhere... Good riddens Clive and his men... 🤣🥰☝️👌👏✊
Accept that Karma has taken over. They lack leadership. It is not just lack of money in their board.
West Indies fast bowlers only knew to bowl fast and lethal against the opposite team. They never learnt to bear the burnt of lethal fast bowling. Lilli and Thompson taught them this lesson in 1975 series.
So many people arent aware of 70's and 80's and just blatantly consider so called King Kohli as best batsman ever ....I wish Kohli atleast once faced Andy Roberts, Joel Garner, M Marshall and Holding + Dennis Lille and Jeff Thompson without armguard , without quality pads and without Helmet...f.o. short lived memory and recency effect of people
Coward West Indies now building flat wicket for devastating Indian fast bowling. But Indian pacer never adopt such cowardice attitude in time in the history. Come on West indies, Australia, South Africe, Pakistan or England and just dare to build a bumpy pitch for Indian pacer (Ishant Sharma,Bumrah, Sammy, Bhuboneswar Kumar, Md Siraj)
With full intention to hit the batsmen, Indians still got 309/6 and with west Indies strong battling line and 'fair play' from Indians they were all out under 400. I think this is enough to show who was a better team purely on cricket skills.
West Indies didn't complain to the world when the Aussies did it to them. they understood what they had to do because that was a wake-up call to them, and wake up they did--unfortunately for the Indians, they would feel the baptism of that wrath . lol
And India went on to be undefeated in Test cricket for the next 12 years?? Uh..nope. West Indies learned fair play alone won't win Test matches. Top class fast bowlers and a strong batting line-up will. India did well, but once this bowling line-up clicked it was game over.
@@kieronjohnson8834 But I agree with Gavaskar, Crowd was barbarian.... They were calling for blood.
Sunil Gavaskar, G.R.Vishwanath, Mohinder Amarnath, Anshuman Gaekwad were excellent players against Fast bowling without wearing helmets.
Karma hit them so hard, West Indies is no more a cricket giant.
When Australia was doing it to the west indies they took it and did not complain
What are u talking about ? Wii bowlers employed bodyline tactics they bowled beamers on purpose . They wanted to kill indian batsman and the crowd were cheering kill them kill them .
There is no comparison between Gavaskar and Tendulkar. Tendulkar played in an era of helmets and all sorts of paddings and custom made bats etc. Gavaskar played the West Indies in an era of Holding, Marshall, Garner, Wayne Daniels and all the other great bowlers at that time without a helmet or any limit on bouncers and beamers by the bowlers. Hands down Gavaskar was far superior as a real batsman with his technique and class to handle such bowlers from West Indies when they resorted to that lowly stuff that tarnished cricket.
That is why it is named and called TEST CRICKET, it seriously puts the batsmen bowlers fielders everybody into tests, you are tested your courage your bravery your patience everything is being tested and this is the real authentic cricket.
This was very interesting. Please keep up the good work.
Though I liked west indies cricketers, this incident showed total lack of sportsmanship from Lloyd and Holding.
SHAME on Holding and Lloyd especially when batsmen had no protective gear.
1983 world cup win was a great revenge.
Pakistan faced even more pace with Roberts at his peak, and with the menacing Croft and Garner in 76-77. The 2-1 WI victory in the 5 test series was nearly drawn 2-2 with the West Indies 9 wickets down in Bridgetown and with 60 runs to go in the end. Sadiq Mohammad had his face smashed by a Andy Roberts bouncer, but they never complained even once about the West Indian tactics. Wasim Raja scored 517 runs in that series and Majid Khan 530. Asif Iqbal scored 134 on the fast Sabina Park pitch.
The most dangerous of the Windies quickies was Sylvester Clarke because he could make the bouncer cut back at pace to follow the batsman attempting to sway back. I watched him at Surrey in the 80s and he was the only bowler I saw get inside the heads of Richards and Gooch. It was a shame his test career was cut short by the episode in Pakistan.
Intentional bodyline bowling and unintentional injury caused due to pace are two different things,this 2nd may be due to fault of batsman in assessing line and length.
@arunchikodikar397 Did you see even one of the Pakistan vs West Indies tests in the 1976-77 series? The West Indies admitted that Pakistan gave them a very tough time. They bowled accurately but with sheer intimidation. Majid Khan and Sadiq Mohammad got hit by Andy Roberts. Mushtaq Mohammad kept on fighting and leading the team. Bedi quit.

@Aton Freckleton It doesn't matter who are playing with whom, In this match we could see that the bowlers intention is to target the batsmen professionally(by taking the wicket(s)), if failed to do so then unprofessionally injure them, the ultimate moto is to win the game. Don't mind bro, if the any player(even indian) is doing the same against any other team its not acceptable.
You literally can't make it up. Except India have done. Nobody bowled beamers. It was short pitched deliveries on fast wickets. The story of India telling blatant lies continues. As well as moaning.
Agreed, this is revisionism at its worst. And sad to say it has suckered some in.
Australia did that to us were did not complain
Now its Indian fast bowlers who dominate west indies at their home
I'm still waiting for 2 or 3 who can bowl at 155+ all day long in short spells.

Can't blame WI as they played the game way they know... We played what we knew about the game... This is a pure case of lack of technology and regulations back then... What about India vs WI now... 🇮🇳🇮🇳
It is easy to say this today. 🙄 Batsman were without Helmets, so what about Sportsmanship?? (This is not War just a Game)
And today's generation called out of sportsmanship when Ashwin run out Buttler in Mankand style.. 😞😞
take those players and put them in today's situations. the entire bowling attack of lloyd's would be banned from bowling and the test match would be over on the first day. not to mention, the amount of protection batsman have now, gavaskar and co would spank them soo hard, the 400+ chase in the previous test match would look like a cake walk.
@@kabirsardana1282 Well you must remember West Indies did not start that trend, no one seems to remember when Lillie & Thompson almost killed the west Indian batsmen, all that happened is the West Indies made sure that it never happened to them again, all that happened is that the West Indies became the best in the world at that time. I don't blame them.
at least the West indies learned their lessons from the humiliation of the Aussies in 1975---unfortunately for the Indians they faced the baptism of what was the beginning of pace like fire.
So now with all the safety gears, West Indies is now a team with no skill because the only skill they knew was to hurt them and now its not possible to that extent
West Indies cricket has nothing to do with safety gear, West Indies problem is that they have not produced any world-class batsman after Brian Lara or World-class bowlers after Walsh & Ambrose...Helmets or not the great West Indian Bowlers & batsmen of that time would have made any current day team look like amateurs.
Loved it. Really interesting. Can't wait for the next one.
Bro reall West Indies did wrong in that ..... series they might have won series but all respects sorry....
I am a big fan of Sachin Tendulkar but I always knew that Gavaskar had faced the most ferocious bowlers and those days pitch were deadlier even rules were totally against batsmen. What Gavaskar did nobody ever did in Cricket as a batsman even Bradman also. These West Indies bowlers were bowling at 150 speed bouncers and beamers. Eight bowl over.
If someone is not sure about his victory then he start adopting unfair practice ( may it be Australia or WI). They were better team at that era , so they should have adopted fair cricket practices. It was clear the WI was not sure about their victory in that last test, and accepted that they could not win on purely cricketing skills and that they have adopted this practice against India in that test. So it was clear acceptance by WI that time that they couldn't win against India by playing fair cricket.

Firstly he was incredibly accurate, he claimed never to have bowled a wide in his career, and accuracy was essential to Bodyline.As Australian batsman Bert Oldfield collapsed, his skull fractured by a lightning-fast ball, the booing from the 50,000-strong Adelaide Oval crowd became a deafening howl.The England players, mouths dry with fear, looked for escape routes - or even potential weapons - in case the mob fell on them.Bowler Harold Larwood, the focus of the fury, turned to team-mate Les Ames.

This is the best video regarding test cricket.
Sunil gawasker kapil paa ji mohinder amarnath great cricketers
Undoubtedly, Sunil Gavaskar is the greatest batsman of India.
There were no Helmets or Arm Guards in 1976, which meant that short balls/bumpers directed at batsmen (6 per over) made run scoring difficult and hooking resulted in batsmen missing the ball and getting injured. Indians may have been short in skill to handle short bowling, but you can't expect tailenders to score against short bowling and that too without any protection.
How can they claim themselves as best bowlers with intimidatory bowling , aiming at the batsmen and not at the wickets ?
I am also against this.
But it's within rules.
Cricket is a hard game with
Hard ball.
@@faisalshawon1207 . Rules are made by human beings and not God. They can be changed at any point of time. The legendary pace bowlers like Dennis Lillee, Andy Roberts, Imran Khan, Bob Willis etc got hundreds of wickets without intimidatory bowling.

@@faisalshawon1207 . My point of view is whether intimidatory bowling or body line bowling is acceptable in Cricket which is called " gentleman's game " and not whether it was invented by blacks or whites. When some thing is wrong and un-acceptable , it remains the same in respect of whites, blacks or browns.
@@cvenkat7766 Then what's wrong here ???

done was written in books.
And after 76 they never lost a test series

Thank goodness we have better umpires and replays
West Indies didn't have any fast bowlers in 1971.
This is highly condemnable act by the so called reputed west indies team. The game of cricket was not played in the true spirit of the game by the west indies players. The tactics of the West Indies players was to anyhow win the game by injuring players of the opponent team. This is the reason why they are now at the bottom of the table and India is at the top. They have got their rightful place, this is called the wheel of fortune.
👌👌👌
I wish atleast test cricket rules remained the same as the classic days. What a thrilling experience it would have been. Watching classic highlights are always more interesting than watching the modern day cricket.. What a heroic legacy they left for Indian cricket!
Mr. West Indies country cricket board. West Indies people's. Stadium gathered people. wI country intelligent person s. This is not cricket. Blody lines balling not I hate your strategy. I am proud my indian team.
Wish India had Rohit, Virat Sehwaag, Tendulkar besides Gavaskar.
In those days bowlers were quicker and fitter
@@vmbslljy5483 I wholeheartedly disagree, athletes now are in much better shape. One of the biggest changes in Indian cricket brought about their rise. Furthermore, look at Anderson and Broad...late 30s still playing at a high level. Holding, Marshall, Ambrose, Walsh, Lillee, Thomson, willis were just amazing talent. It was common to see players smoking cigarettes on the sideline. Though, now watching Cornwall playing is embarrassing. He can't field anywhere but slip.
@@TheTruthSeekerDocRB nothing would work if you put any batsman with less protection, without helmet and in those pitches against bowlers like holding,marshall,roberts.most of them were not much fit but they were tremendously brutal.
@@vmbslljy5483 nope bruh bs
it wouldnt look nice with holding being hit for a six over his own head by sehwag and then being driven straight to the boundary by tendulkar.
Now west Indies are nowhere to be seen....they were great but their tactics of body line bowling was not acceptable.
Body line bowling was part of the game at that time, West Indies had to deal with it also especially from Lillie & Thompson, who by the way started it, and West Indies perfected it.
West Indies did what is done during the match. Issue was with Indian team who were unaware of how to play fast & furious bowling. It had always been thrilling and fun to watch WI bowling in late 70s and 80s and early 90s. And of course, It was Pakistan fast & furious bowling in 90s and early 2000.
Pakistan known for their begging skill, nothing else. So stop barking, keep begging
Lyod wanted blood ,beamer theory was by him. So I never ever liked Lloyd whatever others called him.
Sampath- Loyd was a fair decent man.
Sir,I agree. I was listening the commentary. Beamers aimed at the body. To win will u go that extent ? May be he might have been thinking any the prev Aus series where Lillee was injuring most of the WI batters. But Indians were not of that sort. Why Lyod chosen beamer theory ? Still not able to understand.
@@sampathkumar3018 -Loyd was the first person to admit Thompson was the fastest bowler he faced.He states I practiced against the Windies greats,Holding and Roberts,Thompson the fastest.
If you get hit you have to take it. Hmmm 🤔 Now Bumrah and party might say the same to entire WI team
This the end of West Indies Cricket
I can sum up India in one word in this game " gutless "
Windies went to Australia and played 6 matches on 6 fast bouncy wickets against 4 fast bowlers.
NOBODY CRIED.
England was there before and got served up the same menu. Nobody cried nobody gave up
India played ONE game on a lively wicket , gave up and you produce trash like to this.
Gutless is the word you need to apply to the players in that game, when your bowlers don't go to out to bat and then two pretend to be injured.
Halmets changed the cricket completely

There are quite a few inaccuracies in the presentation
How many centuries did gavaskar score against the top Windies bowler s ? In 71 ,the windies had no one , in 74 only Roberts , with Julian the no2 and Boyce and holder , 3 scrubs .
. in 76 was the first time he faced a multiple pace attack . I believe he also faced the Windies in a series when the 4 windies pacemen were playing wsc and not available so he scored big against them . would love to know his runs , average and century nos against the top Windies attack
How many test centuries did you score. None. So stop commenting and hide in sheds. You are such a looser, just like your parents

NO WEST INDIAN CROWD EVER SHOUTED KILL HIM, KILL HIM.......
A BLATANT LIE.
Also, BEAMERS were NEVER used by any of the West Indian fast bowlers of this series........never. Another terrible lie.
Shame on the writer for this gross dishonesty.
In Sunny Days, Gavaskar devotes an entire chapter on the Test, under the rather graphic title Barbarism in Kingston. Some of the sections may be rather difficult to swallow with modern age sensibilities moulded under the weight of political correctness, but they demonstrate exactly how the opening batsman felt while being singed by the fire. Holding and Daniel peppered the two men with their lethal deliveries, and the crowd bayed for their blood.
"To call the crowd a 'crowd' in Jamaica is a misnomer. It should be called a 'mob'. The way they shrieked and howled every time Holding bowled was positively horrible. They encouraged him with shouts of 'Kill him, maan!', 'Hit him, maan!', 'Knock his head off, Mike!' All this proved beyond a shadow of doubt that these people still belonged to the jungles and forests, instead of a civilised country."
p.s. Excerpts from cricketcountry.com
One more from the same website:
During the miniscule highlights provided during the Doordarshan Samachar those days, cricket writer Raju Bharatan had caught a glimpse of a vicious beamer rearing for the head of Gavaskar. Years later he wrote in Sportstar, "I asked Sunil once he was back in India, 'That head-hunting beamer we saw you barely manage to evade at Sabina Park … how did it feel to measure up to it from Holding?’
"'Which beamer?’ Sunil slyly sought to know… 'There were so many of them bowled at us. Both - Holding and Daniel - bowled them regularly. Their technique was simple - mix a beamer with two-three bouncers in an over. Then, having shaken the batsman's confidence, produce a fast straight yorker to go through his defence. I did ask wicket-keeper Deryck Murray why they were still after me when they had virtually won that Sabina Park decider with three of our key men injured. Deryck said he had spoken to Clive about it, but they had simply been asked to turn their eyes away if they did not want to look!"
Wat da ya say mon?
Most SHAMEFUL victory in Tests.Clive Lloyd lost all the respect he earned due to this one match.The match will be remembered for first day score 178/1 , Lt. ANSHUMAN GAEKWAD, Gavaskar, Amarnath, Vishwanath and Vengsarkar .Team India !!!
WI fast bowlers were very cruel while playing against medium pacers. There's only one tonic to them...Fast bowlers like Richard Headley, Dennis Lillee, Waseem Akram, Imran Khan, etc should attack their batsmen from all sides so that they should taste their own wine in their glass...
Not forgetting England's Steve Harmison; he dished it out to them too. Have a look at the footage of Holding bowling to Brian Close; every ball aimed at the head or body - nowhere near the stumps. Eventually umpire ,David Shepherd stepped in before Close was really injured. And yet Holding commentates now as if butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. Can't stand the man.

But the plan needed the right bowler, and that bowler was former Nottinghamshire miner Harold Larwood.Duncan Hamilton, Larwood's biographer, said: "He had two things. Firstly he was incredibly accurate, he claimed never to have bowled a wide in his career, and accuracy was essential to Bodyline.As Australian batsman Bert Oldfield collapsed, his skull fractured by a lightning-fast ball, the booing from the 50,000-strong Adelaide Oval crowd became a deafening howl.The England players, mouths dry with fear, looked for escape routes - or even potential weapons - in case the mob fell on them.Bowler Harold Larwood, the focus of the fury, turned to team-mate Les Ames. "If they come," he said, "you can take the leg stump for protection - I'll take the middle."Never before or since that moment, 80 years ago to the day, on 16 January 1933, had cricket - and arguably any other sport - seen a contest which fired such anger, which reached so far and echoed for so long, as the Bodyline tour. Australia won the series 5-1. The Series is remembered for hostile fast bowling by Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson and for Viv Richards ability to take on fast bowlers by opening the innings in last test match.My father listened to these series commentaries on radio those days and briefed us in details exactly how the Fame Thirsty Captains of England Australia and West Indies who were on verge of losing the captaincy and positions planned implemented organized unethical tactics during these 3 most bloody series of cricket played between Eng Aus WI Aus & WI India and dominated the oppositions who were better teams than them. 1932 33 Bodyline Series Larwood vs Bradman Eng beat Aus 4-1. Larwood & Engish bowlers attacked bodies of Aussies & especially Larwood devastatingly fast precise . All his contemporaries said he was the quickest they had faced. At certain times during that series he must have got close to, if not passed, the 100mph (160km/h) mark. "Every fast bowler who sees that old footage says, 'Wow, that's quick!'." Larwood believed Bradman struggled against balls which bounced into his chest and formed a tactic to exploit this.Australian batsman Bert Oldfield collapsed, his skull fractured by a lightning-fast ball, the booing from the 50,000-strong Adelaide Oval crowd became a deafening howl. 1975 series Aus beat WI 5-1 Lillie Thomson Richards Crowd sang Lillie Lillie kill kill kill & Kill Kill the Black Bastard .The Series is remembered for hostile fast bowling by Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson and for Viv Richards ability to take on fast bowlers by opening the innings in last test match. After this dissastrous drubbing at hands of Lillie thomson and co...Lloyd went to all parts of WI and chose Wayne Daniel Roberts to the existing Holding and Croft he had and then started initiated his strategy when he was losing the series to India in 1976 and then it was at Jamaica Sabina Park the bloodbath. 1976 WI beat India 2-1 Holding vs Gavaskar Amarnath Patel Vishwanath Vengsarkar Bloodbath Jamaica Test Crowd sang kill kill kill. Captain Bedi forced to declare as 3 top batsmen in hospital Amarnath Patel Gaekwad, 3 injured cant bat Gavaskar Vishwanath Vengsarkar and only bowlers left to bat and the risk of getting the bowlers also injured because of the unethical tactics used by Clive Lloyd attacking batsmen with beamers and batsmen as Clive's team got hammered in Australia 5-1 @Lillie Thomson Ferocious Hostile Bowling . India scored 400+ runs@Gavaskar and won test matches and from Winning the Series lost the Series and 1st time ever a team ie India from Winning the Series had to declare and lose the series because of injuries as those days planes facilities of transportation was not quick as today. Gavaskar threw his bat and cap in frustration and kept continuously appealing to the umpires saying I have not come here to die, I have a family and a new born son to see after I return home, but WI bowlers kept bowling beamers bouncers unlimited as those days there were no restrictions rules for bowlers. Last but not the least this current crap of superstars are very lucky to be living in these current times. Williamson Root kohli babar Smith Develliers etc can't bat against these quality bowlers and that too with bigger larger sophisticated bats protection helmets guards equipment gadgets fielding rules larger boundaries no restrictions on bouncers beamers pathetic dangerous crowds. That is why it is named and called TEST CRICKET, it seriously puts the batsmen bowlers fielders everybody into tests, You are continuously tested for 5 days rigorously you are tested with your courage your bravery your skills your technique your patience your temperament your aggression your fears your plans your strategies your implementation your selection everything is being tested put on trials and this is the real authentic cricket TEST CRICKET.
Why we Indians don't produce Fast Bowlers: then & now? Don't we have or create them? We can! But we didn't & don't, yet. Cause? Many actually. Starting with Narcissism, groupism, selection from each of the regions / state etc. In short, we don't have MERITOCRACY. That's the fundamental cause.
Indians could have bowled bouncers too..
But they realised they bowl at 120 km\h
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The bowling was no different to that faced from the Windies by other nations, although the wicket made it worse. Unfortunately a myth has arisen that the Windies used bouncers and beamers in a similar way and this piece repeats the myth stating that beamers were not outlawed at the time. Yes they were - I was playing at the current equivalent of premier club level in 1976. I can only reference to 2 beamers bowled, one from Holding and another from Daniel and this became 'a barrage of beamers' in Gavaskar's words. The bowling may have been intimidatory but that does not justify lying about it.
Stop the whining! The West Indies were humiliated by Australia 5-1 with Lloyd as captain (1975/76). Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thompson bowled fast and furious. Lloyd's response was not to call anyone a barbarian, he simply found a way to win fairly. If you it were so terrible how did one of their batsmen reach 60?
Karma never misses it's destination, result is visible. Once world champion now worthless
The blame for this is Australia who did the same to the WI the previous year - that was the biggest mistake ever done in cricket. As this video has shown it spurned the WI into a frenzy of super dangerous fast bowling for 2 decades. If it wasnt for helmets a number of players would have been killed. Now days intimidatory bowling is impossible.
nothing is permanent.. these very fast bowlers .. see their plight.. karma bites back.. Clive Lloyd has presided over the destruction of cricket in WI..the former terror bowlers are howling in the mike for a living.. they live on Indian IPL money now and do all jahtkas to please us.. one fellow has gone mad and doesnt remember his hey days.. cant help but wondering.. what happened to the pride of WI cricket.. also a lesson to Indian cricketers like KOLI .. your days are also numbered.. not everyone is a gentlemen you see.. thats why its a gentleman's game
I am pakistani. Tactics adopted by WI were shear unsporting. Test match should have been called off by the management
These kohli and party and many others would shit in their pants if they were to face these fearsome bowlers.OF COURSE Gavaskar Sachin are the only exception
