  • A record-breaking run-machine, a fielder, bowler, inspirational leader and dedicated cricketer - Graham Gooch has climbed to the pinnacle of his profession. With the backcloth of that record-breaking innings against India at Lord’s, Graham talks frankly to Pat Murphy of the highs and lows of his career: the early days at Essex, 1979 being a turning point for both him and the county’s fortunes; his many Test hundreds, the first against the West Indies; his appointment to the England captaincy; leading them to their first victory over the West Indies since 1974; the subsequent victories over India and New Zealand. He speaks of his absence from the Test arena; the death of his mentor, Ken Barrington; and the critical injuries he sustained in the West Indies and Australia. The video is packed with action from Test Matches, 1-Day Internationals, The World Cup and the Domestic 1-Day finals. Graham’s own story is supplemented by his father describing the emergence of the future England captain and with the personal insights of his contemporaries - Ian Botham, Geoff Boycott, John Embury, Keith Fletcher, John Lever and Micky Stewart.

    Not sure if people remember, but Gooch scored another hundred (123) in the second innings of his 333 test (mainly thanks to Azharuddin's amazing double hundred in India's first innings, and Kapel Dev's four sixes to avoid the Indian follow on. My dad was at Lords when Azhar scored those runs. He was so drunk when he got home - very unlike him - that he said he thought he'd seen Azhar and his twin brother both score double centuries and get out at exactly the same time to a similar delivery. He wondered if that had ever happened before. Then he passed out on the sofa under my mother's very disapproving eye.)
    Those 456 aggregate runs in one test match scored by Gooch remains a world record in 2019.

      Azhar never scored a double century in his test career. His best was 199 and yes at Lord's that say he scored 121 which he scored in just lil more than a session about 174 mins faced 111 balls and hit 22 fours. But yes his game that day bewitched and mesmerized the spectators that day.

    Superb! Thank-you!
    In the course of this I realised a number of things: the class and colour aspects of unity and tension in the Commonwealth.
    Second how close are Essex and Kent (Wat Tyler and all that, accents, vision). Odd that.

    7:16 “Gooch, Stone hit 171 in 20 overs blitz"
    This was back in 1990, long before T20 was even a thing, and they managed to do that!

    I remember Gooch hitting 333 against India when I was just twenty. He was born exactly seventeen years after my mother!

    Test cricket was much better back then in terms of knowing what series you were playing and when. Plus most summers, we would play a 5 test series against one country. Or 6 if it was the Ashes.

    In those days, professional cricketers were poorly paid - they didn't even dream of the riches that today's players can benefit from - so when they were offered relatively huge sums to play in South Africa, one can understand their decision to go there - but, and its a big but, their decision does leave a foul taste in the mouth given the appalling regime that governed SA at th time - also notable that great players like Botham and Gower refused to go - good on them

      That's true, compared to today's players, but imagine how little they were getting paid before Packer and World Series Cricket.
