Ian Chappell said John Snow was the finest non Australian bowler he faced. Some compliment from a great cricketer.
SNOW was the dogs bollocks - awesome ..
I remember Jon Snow bowling in the Ashes (1975 I think) at home. It was a hot dry summer. He bowled a snorter at Rod Marsh that nipped back and got him in the nuts resulting in much bending, stretching and deep breathing. The next ball took his middle stump out of the ground. I recall the immortal words from Richie Benaud. He paused a moment and then said in that wonderfully characteristic manner, 'I think it was the previous ball that got him out'. Priceless understatement.
Great, great athlete. The run up the action incredible. This guy would've taken 500 plus wickets in this era of central contracts. Love watching proper fast bowling.
England’s forgotten great fast bowler
In the era of 75 mph steamers he bowled 78 mph
John Snow was the spearhead of the first England team I can remember watching, and I'm not sure we've seen a finer English quickie since. Certainly none with a more beautiful action.
I never thought I'd ever see this much of John Snow and this famous series. Many thanks indeed for uploading.
One of the greatest and complete fast bowlers ever - John Snow, tall, athletic, handsome, fearsome and deadly. But quite a demeanour - plain and easy.
He was a schoolteacher. During this series his run-ins with umpires and crowd suggests that the kiddies might have picked up some vocab from him.
Wonderful to see footage of the man whom Lillee so greatly admired.
My favourite bowler growing up. Smooth delivery, uncompromising attitude.
This is fantastic stuff. I've been following Test cricket since 1973 and this is the first time I have seen extended footage of John Snow in full cry in the 1970/71 series. Many thanks for uploading this!
Same for me. I started following cricket in the summer of 1974/75 when I was thrilled by Lillee and Thomson. (Obviously, I'm an Australian!). John Snow has often been mentioned by commentators, but I admit I pictured just another very good fast bowler. This was something special however, and I'm so glad to have seen that beautiful action, fearsome pace and aggression.
I loved the 1970/71 Ashes series! I loved watching cricket back in those days, even though TVs werent really as popular as it is now. I was still a young man back then, and I love to see such classic vids of the fantastic bowler John Snow on RUclips! This was when cricket was still at the top of my list, but nowadays its just starting to get a little bit boring.
Rob here is an awesome cricket archivist. These old clips are great insights into the culture of the day. Note, when a wicket falls, just how subdued & gentlemanly the bowler & fielders are -- no high-fiving, whooping, group-hugging. Very little sledging & the like in those days. We were mannerly in club cricket, too. I remember applauding a shot when I got pulled for 6 once. No mean stares or anything. My next bouncer was quicker & knocked him in the temple. I said I was sorry. Different times.
One of England great quickie. Smooth and easy run up but deceptively fast and dangerous. Reminds me of another great, Michael Holding.
Yes!
Joy to watch.
The one that got Ian Chappell.
Beast of a delivery.
Smooth run-up. Minimum of fuss
Controversially omitted from the 1974-75 tour of Australia.
Many thanks Robelinda for sharing this Gem.
beautiful bowling action and superb bowling but more so struck by the interview in the end - so polite and humble - as Richie said 'nice way to put it' - cricket definitely used to be a gentleman's game - !
and many many thanks for uploading - thumbs up and subscribed
Two legends - John Snow and Ritchie Benaud.
John Snow - outstanding fast bowler.
this is eXcellent - to see John Snow bowling so many deliveries up-the-hill away from the camera rather than downhill at the camera .. to see him take a variety of wickets in a variety of ways .. to see the England fielders in their various regular positions .. it is very important as this is the time which we never saw back in the UK .. he was a very, very, very good bowler, indeed .. 7-40 .. one of two 7 for he constructed ; two six-for ; 4 five-for ; 15 four-for and 16 three-for ..
Magnificent bowler. Alec Bedser robbed England of a strike duo by dropping Snow out of spite. Snow plus Willis would have matched Lillee and Thompson in the early to mid 70s.
If true, it wouldn't surprise me.
@@spanishpeaches2930 Gubby Allen insisted Snow be dropped from the 1974/75 series and Alec Bedser as chairman of selectors was quick to agree. The greatest mistake in the history of English test selection and a complete disgrace for English cricket.
@@ds1868 but why did he do it ? The upper eschelons of seemingly all sports in this country are absolute imbeciles.
Ranks alongside not picking Andy Caddick for a tour because he might not fit in with the rest of the party. Barmy!
@@ds1868 Let's face it, Gubby Allen and Alec Bedser weren't exactly the brightest bulbs in the chandelier were they?
Very interesting to see snow bowling round the wicket to Lawry and running in on the same angle and parallel to his over the wicket run up . He had a glorious loose upper body and from wrist to elbow , and his hip swivel and timing of it as the precursor . Brilliant upload thanks !
Great stuff. As a kid John Snow was my hero.
Wow! Just got back and saw this masterpiece..Great, great upload Rob.
What a bowler this man is! Look at the way he makes 'em jump up like spitting cobras from a goodish/just short length. Lawry must have been awfully proud of carrying his bat through against a killer spell like this.
Blimey he was definitely quick and sharp of a very modest run up ...
How quick was he
@@manjulakr9637125 kph
@@manjulakr9637 He was as fast as Andy Roberts and as fast as anyone currently playing (2024)
Rob your unbelievable dedication towards cricket may be best ever in the history,even more than any cricketer who played this wonderful game as they've known some day their efforts would payback.It's so special as you may've known you don't get anything from cricket other than your pleasure.Thanks for sharing the cream of those efforts of perseverance and dedication with us.Salute you Rob!
Nothing wrong with the editing, its magnificent and a wonderful clip. Shows what a classy batsman Bill "the phantom" Lawry was and what a magnificent bowler John Snow was, his easy grace. Great interview at the end with Richie.
one of the great actions and run ups. His run up is very similar to Jeff Thomsons in the 74/75 series
Thanks for uploading this rob! This was the good old days when cricket was actually GOOD. John Snow was always a threat to me, and I remember this superb spell he bowled. So great to see you uploading stuff from my time as well! Thanks mate!
John Snow is a great pace bowler ,his light and line was perfect. Biil Lawrey is a top notch batsman.
My God. A smiling friendly cooperative john Snow!! There werent that many days like that!
You don’t have a clue about John Snow you’re only quoting what you’ve read. Snow only became difficult when quite rightly he didn’t want to bowl fast constantly in county cricket. John Snow is a decent and good man and a brilliant fast bowler.
Remarkable. John Snow spoke for 3 minutes. Normally youd be lucky to get 3 words out of him in a Test Match if you were a team mate.
Best fast bowler in the world from 68-72.
ABSOLUTELY .. no question
Great video.. I remember Ian chappell talking about Snow as one of the best he's faced and the evidence is for all to see. Richie benaud's commentary is refreshingly honest "a pathetic 64/4" as it should be instead of the crap adjectives you hear nowadays
Yeah I remember reading Chappell say he really couldn't split Snow and Andy Roberts. Remember at first thinking "really?" After watching this, I don't need convincing. Absolutely top drawer, accurate, quick, and you sensed he had more pace in him if he wanted it.
he dismissed Ian Chappell 10 times in test matches - TEN times ..
@@Mark27472 If lan says he was fast, he was fast.
great interview by Snowey - so tongue in cheek, understated and ironic, well he was a poet after all, he was making Richie look almost conventional by comparison! 🙂
Less than 1000 views for this great fast bowler killing Australia with pace and bounce?
WTF, IPL fans?
He quick was he at his quickest
Australian selectors introduced Dennis Lillee for the 6th test.
Then gave poor old Bill Lawry the flick for the last test but never bothered to tell him.
The crowd back then absolutely funny af
Brilliant to see this stuff from before i was born; vintage interview at the end from best commentator ever IMO. Like how Lawry always played the short balls in to the ground on the leg side, no chance of a bat pad or leg gully catch: aspiring bats take note.
Without Snow there would not have been a Lillee or Thompson.. lovely bowler (also very unassuming man)
Great footage, thanks for putting it up. Snow was pretty sharp.
Thanks a lot Rob for uploading this vintage footage.
Loved Snow’s action.. brilliant bowler, and Bill Lawrey.. legend👌👌
A big thank you for all the obvious reasons about never having seen it before. I wouldn't ming seeing more of this series including the bits you left on the cutting room floor.
pure gold this video, hats off to rob. Todays chicken hearted batsmen would have run away saying its a bad pitch, One hell of a spell from Snow and great to hear Richie pre Channel 9 days
Had the great fortune to have emigrated to Oz a couple of months before the 70/71 Ashes series - seeing Snow blow away the Aussie batsman was awesome; and we didn't get a single lbw decision in the entire series - talk about 'homer' umpires!
You are correct when you say the English didn’t make a successful LBW appeal for the whole series but Australia only had a single successful appeal themselves. Indeed Bill Lawry was never given out LBW in any test innings in Australia throughout his long career
@@davidriddiford7385 - actually there were five and they were FLETCHER, D'OLiVEiRA, HAMPSHiRE, iLLiNGWORTH and either LUCKHURST or Alan KNOTT ..
Young Ritchie! Many thanks for uploading!
aww exceptional upload mate!!! you've given us gold.. gold.
The last genuine quick to have represented England
You can argue that they haven’t had as good a quick bowler since, but the last genuine quick? Nonsense. Bob Willis was genuinely quick. So too Devon Malcolm, Steve Harmison, Simon Jones and plenty of others.
This is great stuff. I have to look for more 'vintage footage' from what you have uploaded so far. I agree with Kanha Tigerman you should be knighted for this. Thanks a million.
OH wow I went to school with John Snow and faced him he frightened the crap out of me as a schoolboy he was seriously fast but never got me!!!!!!
blimey!
Same experience ....Christ's Hospital. I faced maybe 3 balls from JS....no contact with any of them. I never see mention of his rugby skills! He was a star full. back
Thanks so much for uploading this.
This is superb! John Snow was an underrated bowler. He had the more illustrious Fiery Fred & Bob Willis at either end of his career. Simple, unassuming run up, but like the way he spears the ball into the right hander.
Black & White video from 1971? I thought there would've been colour TV in Australia at that time.
And is there any video of a bowler named John Price? I believe he was Snow's contemporary. Seems he had one of the longest run ups.
From memory Australia didn't get colour television until the mid-1970s.
@@robicenco1
Correct - 1975 was the year...
This is awesome, thanks so much! I would love to see Greg Chappell and Ian Roberts bowling WSC. Supposed to be some of the best cricket ever.
Love that action replay!
@MrFrankParsons you are welcome sir, ENJOY!
Thank-you! A remarkable England side!
They need to show 'Late Night Legends' again.. was awesome!
At 13 I saw him at Sabina Park.At school the joke was, 'did you know snow was falling at Sabina Park'.
Snow had classic Bowling Action. Combination of Snow, Willis, Arnold and Hendricks could have been a deadly attack.
There was never anything "deadly" about Hendricks. He was just a stopper. Difficult to score off? Yes. Great wicket taker? Never.
And Arnold was never anything more than a decent medium pacer.
@@agnostic47 Hendrick was still a high class bowler. F.C. average of 20. Used to beat the bat more than just about anyone because he tended to bowl just a bit too short.
Great stuff. Thanks for posting.
Who cares that the editing isn't perfect - this was a joy to watch. Victories down under are few and far between, and it's great to see John Snow at his best pushing England toward The Ashes. The ball that got rid of Ian Chappell was an absolute brute! Many thanks for uploading this great footage.
Chappell had made a sarky remark to Snow the previous ball and got his just desserts with a vicious ball. He never said a word to Snow on a cricket pitch ever again.
@@AlunThomas-mp5qo I know Ian Chappell rated Snow highly, and that was probably the reason why!
days of listening all night on the BBC when still at school
I remember this series as a kid. Snowie was a great bowler but England had a very good squad of bowlers such as Shuttleworth, Lever and a young Bob Willis. Snow also great support from D'Oliviera, Underwood and Illingworth. The series featured two of the most stoic batsmen in the world - Messrs Lawry and Boycott...
When you have footage this old, you need not appologise for any editing flaws. Thanks for uploading it! :)
Gosh thanks man, lovely comment! Have a great day.
Bro how quick was he
@@manjulakr9637 at his quickest Snow was late 80’s. Same speed as Jasprit Bumrah
Pace bowlers were in specialist catching positions back then. Lever and Willis together with Old and Hendrick (both not capped till later) were all fine close to the wicket fielders.
and Chris OLD - WiLLiS, for sure, was a pretty good goal-keeper in some quite serious football and I think also Peter Lever played in goal , too
ive uploaded 6 hours of 74/75 ashes on my other channel. absolute goldmine of lillee and thomson.
@KanhaTigerman Am working on a WSC Lillee and Roberts compilation......
better coverage than these days almost
@toffee96 You are most welcome!
@robelinda do you have any more of these type of matches from the early 1970s would love to see em mate.
ENJOY!
Rob, I've heard alot about the spells of Lillee and Thompson.. could you upload a few minutes of those spells ?
Rob, this is magnificient stuff indeed. Would you happen to have any videos of Barry Richards vs Dennis Lillee and Mike Proctor vs Viv Richards/Greg Chappell in WSC cricket
thanks!
I only just saw this! Rob mate, you deserve several knighthoods! As often happens with shameless flattery, it comes with a shameless request. You wouldn't happen to have some Andy Roberts videos would you? Would love to see any great spell of the great man if would happen to have it in your humongous archive.
Gteat to see Knotty doing his wierd warm ups
@robelinda2 am I blind or did that jump off from a good length to get him?
I was at this match. Remember the Aussie procession of batsmen. They all shat themselves especially with Snow aiming at the body. At the ground you didn't realise how dangerous the bowling was. Amazed Australia got to 50. Lots of edges and deflections. In this coverage not an attacking shot.
John Snow one of the cricketers who influenced Imran Khan in his evolution as a fast bowler!
I can remember being him when we played cricket among the mates
Good upload. What a ball though, very nasty. I guess on a pitch like this you probably have to resort to playing mostly on the back foot.
John Snow...the only England fast bowler who is also a published poet!
I like how they don't run around screaming after taking a wicket.
Yes! I noticed that too.
@@stephenhosking7384 It's much better that way.
@@AlunThomas-mp5qo Yes, and without the hugging also, and the rest of the little party.
shame about the sound. remember Underwood and snow. superb.
I wonder if the great Richie Benaud was born with grey hair, no matter how far back you go, his beautiful commentary and grey hair remain a constant.
This is great
Richie Benaud. Su bloody perb.
The video file seems to have corrupted :(
Simon Finch fucking youtube. all that effort ruined!
Simon Finch Why? What’s wrong?
It's only giving us 1:44 out of 30:27 playing time!?!?
I remember that so called great John Snow went and pushed Sunil Gavaskar to the ground for no reason. Faroukh Engineer told him to try someone his size instead of pushing the little Gavaskar. Very rightfully so. I thought John Snow was an arrogant bowler grossly exaggerated and praised undeservingly. He rightly ended up in the losing side against Wadekar's Indian XI in 1971.
poor Bill scoring 60not out sacked as skipper then dropped oh well John Snow does the damage shame he didn't come back in74/75
Snow would have gotten 300 test wickets if he bowled on the harder Australian squares. Massey would have definitely ended with 200 test wickets if he was an English man !
Lol, .. I asked for a few minutes, I get 6 whole hours. Brilliant! :D
Fast bowler who wrote poetry
Only lasts 1:44, as previously stated - what happened o the rest of it?
@robelinda CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!
This was the first Test match I ever saw live and I attended all four days. So I was there sitting on the old Hill in front of the bar under the scoreboard. I've looked closely at the crowd shot of just that area at 4'13" but can't spy my 16yo self. What this video does not show is that it was hot and the crowd - at least where I was - was badly sunburnt by the match end but didn't care because it was also very drunk.
Also looking cool in his Fred Perry
Bob Willis's first test match.
Then he got into the politics of Game of Thrones..
Here for 2 reasons.
1: to admire a great past quick bowler.
2: to count the number of confused Game of Thrones fans in the comments.
rob do you know who the commentators are?
one of them is Frank Tyson .. TYPHOON Tyson ..
