Have we seen a better batsman than vivian richards? The answer is no, a unique batsman in world history and batsman of the highest order, no doubt about it, a cheer delight is to see him, a powerful batsman and a powerful personality, he is a batsman of different level, thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for sharing this series. I was 9 yrs old, living in Delhi, when this match was played and have vivid memories of this match. Richards' batting, Lloyd's catch, Vishy, etc. Wonderful to see these.
Whenever Vishwanath got out, he would never look at the umpire or wait for the umpire's decision. He would just walk back to the pavilion - just the way he did in this video. He is one player who demonstrated what ethics & honesty meant.
But, in a Ranji Trophy Match in Madras against Tamil Nadu in 1977-78, he didn't leave the field when the Umpire erred in not giving him Out (Caught Behind) which was also reported in the Sports Star and Sports World Magazine then.
Thanks Jai Jalagalli. You are doing the cricket fans all over the world huge favour by uploading this videos. I have been looking for this videos for a long time. I also request you to upload the videos of indo- pakistan series of 1979 80. Once again thank you
Thanks for another great video! Venkat was India's captain in this test but 12th man in the next - the only time such a thing happened in the history of test cricket. Parthasarathy Sharma showed great promise in his test debut here but did not achieve much in his subsequent tests.
In the next test ie the 3rd test in EDEN GARDENS, Calcutta, the 12th man for India was Eknath Solker. As a replacement for P S Sharma, Solker did field on the 5th and 4th days.
What a series ! We learnt playing cricket (I was 12) just a year before. Watching our elders discussing cricket in awe. Hearing commentary which was not quite understood fully. Yet scissoring the score card from the newspapers next day and sharing them with friends was a great pastime. First time to see the pics of fearsome Windies cricketers in the Cricket quarterly - only three copies were available in our small town. Viswanath's scintillating 139 in the Calcutta test was a national event. True he was our pride and a true icon. Snippets of this test match were shown in the Indian news review , before the movie. One theatre in our place used to allow some college going youth to watch it and then leave. In later years we realized it was a great series.
Thnx Mr.Jai Galgali for nice quality video.Will be appreciated if you upload some vintage video of Ashes series as well as AUS vs WI of sixties n early seventies.The new generation should know n realized about the beauty n charm of long version game of Cricket.💐💐💐.JSk.
In the previous Test at Bangalore, Richards has made 4 and 3, completely bamboozled by BS Chandrasekhar. In their infinite wisdom, Chandra, not the first time in his career, was removed by the selectors for Delhi. Richards made 192...
I understand your point. However, Viv Richards has made hundreds against almost all of the best bowlers of his era including his own West Indian bowlers. Viv Richards v Indian bowlers of his era: Viv Richards has scored 4 hundreds in matches that Kapil Dev played against him. Viv Richards v Bedi = 4 hundreds. Viv Richards v Prasanna = 2 hundreds. Viv Richards v Chandrasekhar = 3 hundreds. Viv Richards has also scored a hundred when Dilip Doshi played against him.
@@shood9717 , all that is true, but remember, he could do that only because he scored a century in Delhi test. Had he failed in this test (he could have, if Chandra played in this test), his test career would have been over.
Odd that Richards seemed to bat without a cap (though there are shots of him fielding whilst wearing one), I can't remember ever seeing him batting capless when I saw him play.
See, now I had to check the series results after watching this. Seems to have been a good series. Five tests, all with results, WI win 3-2 coming down to the last match. If it wasn’t for this 192 Viv might well have been dropped and given our politics back then, they probably wouldn’t have picked him again.
As things stood, Bedi (who was excluded from the first test on disciplinary grounds) had to be accomodated on his home ground because of agitating fans chanting Bedi nahin to test nahin. Venkatraghvan, being the captain had to play. Only one out of Prasanna and Chandra could be accomodated so Chandra (junior to Prasanna) missed out. It was Chandra who had troubled Viv Richards in the previous match and dismissed him cheaply in both innings. In the absence of Chandra, Viv Richards had a field day. He capitalised fully scoring 192 and his career was launched.
Interesting to watch these matches . I remember every moment of these matches in this series. Can you load India vs Australia 1958/59 series when Benods team visited india .I still remember names of a both teams even now.I was just in 3 rd std. It will be trip down the memory lane. Mr Galgali pl try.
Richards was actually out caught behind of Venkat but the appeal was turned down by the Umpire and the rest was history even Richards had started back to the pavilion
I know about this match. Our middle order was weak. Even Gavaskar could not play due to injury. Only Vishwanath was reliable batsman. We didn’t have fast bowlers like today.
Ferrari Bugatti Rolls-Royce BMW Mercedes of Batting. Got gifted Amazing Reflexes Phenomenal Awesome Super Duper Mesmerizing skills Animal instincts Arrogance.The Undisputed King of Cricket. The Chewing Gum , the walk the swag, the style the class. Till today and never ever will there be a player who will dominate worlds best fearsome bowlers the way he destroyed murdered them especially the best bowlers of the world who were given great respect and treatment. Playing with modern bats solid protective gears sophisticated protection gadgets refined pitches and then playing without helmets protective gears uncured rough uneven pitches its like earth and sky distance. I have played season cricket myself and I know exactly what it means. No current stars of today and batsmen since cricket began who are breaking records in runs can even dare to do what these players have achieved in those times and years which have passed by. It needs a lot of bravery courage brilliance fearless approach determination and infinite aggression. The only other best example would be Mike Tyson intimidating animal instincts destroying the oppositions causing terror fear in them. No limitations of bouncers and yet walk with that chewing gum , the style the swagger, the arrogance, destroy bowlers all around the world anywhere any location any time..that's my and my fathers favorite Sir Viv Richards . The game changed to the 5th Gear the moment Viv started just walking to the batting crease. it was game on very intimidating for all bowlers and fielders especially the best bowler they had and fielders if they may miss drop his catch ....I am here to destroy you all show me what you have got to the bowlers and opposition. We always prayed that Greenidge or Haynes get out quickly as We enjoyed Viv destroy bowling like T20 about 30-35 years back unbelievable batting hitting cleanly & yet very stylish absolutely brilliant and stunning a treat to watch. If anyone has not seen Viv Richards destroy oppositions and the most feared bowlers of the world then I am very sorry to tell you that you have not seen the best ever possible batting in cricket.The moment Viv came to bat the game changed to fastest gear open challenge to bowlers I'm going to go after you all especially the best bowler of the team. fearless aggressive. Remember always when you talk discuss records compare with protective gears helmets power bats and so on the latest sophisticated equipment gadgets the limitations of bouncers by bowlers and without all of the above. No current batsmen will dare to do what Richards did to play without sophisticated helmets protective gears on uncovered highly lethal dangerous uneven pitches ,fearless dangerous very aggressive instincts without helmets protective gears and no limitations of bouncers Huge difference to play with and without protective gears and unlimited bouncers short pitched bowling. The game changed to the topmost gear the moment Viv Richards stepped on to the ground his entry itself was sufficient, his chewing gum, his swag his style his walk, taking guard was very intimidating it said to the opposition I am here now show me what you got and I am here to destroy you all especially the best bowler of your team nowadays batsmen attack identity weak bowlers Viv attacked destroyed every teams most fearsome bowlers. I always wanted Greenidge or Haynes to get out quickly as I loved to watch Viv enter and murder hammer blast destroy the best bowlers of the era
This is a great service to cricket lovers of that era. However, could you please tell me why you NEVER show the outs?? I’ve now watched several of your uploads and it is almost annoying to not see the outs. Please don’t edit them out. Thanks 🙏🏼
I do NOT edit anything. Footage from the days where they would send one cameraman on a low budget (reel length). He couldn’t have covered the entire 5 Days with only a few reels. He would turn the camera only at certain periods.
@@JaiGalagali No problem sir. Thanks for the reply and again what you are doing is a great service to cricket lovers of our era. Special thanks to you for that!! Yes budget used to be pretty low those days - even players used to get peanuts for playing for the country. They played for the pride.
May be. That said. In those days there was a definite partiality towards certain players. Bedi was never a match winner. He used to give a lot of runs and collect tailenders wickets. He was a slow mover in the field. Venkatraghavan a better spinner and a fantastic fielder and a very effective batsman had to always sit out. Quality machwinning spinners like shivalkar v v kumar never got a chance to play intl. Cricket. All because bedi was the favourite of the board.
Spin bowling seems ordinary from both sides...too slow or short for batsman to give enough time....gives me a feel of school boys cricket on an afternoon field. Today's generation's Lyon, Jadeja, Ashwin, Yasir Shah seem more dangerous, let alone Warne or Murali.
Bowling of different era can not be compared..It's almost 50 years It has got its own pros and cons Not only cricket for any field for that matter.. Game were used to be stylish and simple and used to be unpredictable.. we enjoyed it Everything today is muscle related and robotised
Spin was of inferior quality those days !!!!! Because the legendary quartet of 4 Indian spinners and the great Lance Gibbs bowled slowly !!!!!! I am stunned by your perception that even spinners have to be quick . BTW , Chandrashekhar would bowl pretty quickly , with an unorthodox way of bowling.
@@rajatshubhrosengupta284 , my perception is this: a spinner's gets turn. A great spinner adds flight, bounce, drift, dip to fool the batsman. But the ball speed has to be quick enough (>70-75kmph). If it's too slow, then the batsman gets time to react off the pitch, even if he was fooled by the spinner's guile.
Have we seen a better batsman than vivian richards? The answer is no, a unique batsman in world history and batsman of the highest order, no doubt about it, a cheer delight is to see him, a powerful batsman and a powerful personality, he is a batsman of different level, thanks for the video.
I saw him batting at Edgbaston on 23rd May 1991.
Thank you so much for sharing this series. I was 9 yrs old, living in Delhi, when this match was played and have vivid memories of this match. Richards' batting, Lloyd's catch, Vishy, etc. Wonderful to see these.
Wanted to watch this innings for last 40 years😊
Guess you really like reliving humiliating defeats.
@@reimannx33 really we lost that match? I was concentrating only on Richard's innings.😊
Me to Vivek, i'm an Aussie but have been a Viv fan since 79', never seen any footage of this innings until now.
Whenever Vishwanath got out, he would never look at the umpire or wait for the umpire's decision. He would just walk back to the pavilion - just the way he did in this video. He is one player who demonstrated what ethics & honesty meant.

The exemplary technique displayed by batsmen of yesteryears...shuffle across the crease,soft hands ,grace....what an era
Thank you Mr.Jai for uploading this vintage classic. It was a trip down the memory lane for oldies like me.Memorable nostalgia.
Hi Jai Wonderful Footage thanks from Down Under!!

Hi thanks for this upload, these are very rare and a great view. Could you also upload the 1979-80 pak tour of India
Another brilliant upload keep it up
great upload really god bless you this match brought vivian to limelight

True. The fact that his debut test nemesis Chandrashekhar did not play this test helped his cause.
Another Brilliant Upload keep it up
Veteran Gibbs says everyone is having a go at the wicket , why not I ? 😂😂
Viv Richards and Lance Gibbs brought victory and glory to the West Indies.
God bless you, sir.
As things stood, Bedi (who was excluded from the first test on disciplinary grounds) had to be accomodated on his home ground because of agitating fans chanting Bedi nahin to test nahin.

Wow look at those crowds. Those were the days when wi were still a decent cricket team. Hope they can be a good team again some day.
Heartily thanks jai. Can you also upload the India tour to west indies test series 1975-76

Richards was actually out caught behind of Venkat but the appeal was turned down by the Umpire and the rest was history even Richards had started back to the pavilion
Well that's something truly amazing Jai Bhai,desperately waiting for u to join Hangouts ,,😀
I know about this match. Our middle order was weak. Even Gavaskar could not play due to injury. Only Vishwanath was reliable batsman. We didn’t have fast bowlers like today.
Pitch remains uncovered on those days, how could batsmen handle it??
Thats how great players like vivian richards and lloyd sunny , viswanath handled it & Raised.
Richards makes 192 probably because BS Chandrasekhar missed this test. The rest of the series he was chandra's bunny.
All time gratest bat sir richards
Excellent, do you have recordings of shibramkrishan 12 wkts spell v eng 1984 pl upload
Batsmen were creme de la creme those days facing hostile bowling without helmets.
Taking advantage of the absence of Chandra, Viv mauled Indian bowling
True. Many a time he confided that Chandra was most difficult to negotiate.
Remembering Suresh Siriah Ji
If you have then request you to post the 4th test match at chennai in the same series. Want to watch the legend score 97 not out
The legend meaning G. R. Viswanath
Sir,how did u get these clips??
