- About 50 minutes of the 3rd Super Test. West Indies won the first two matches, the third and final game was played at Football Park in Adelaide over New Year 1977. Ian Chappell made a ton, as did Bruce Laird and the great Viv Richards in the second. Highlights of the first three days, sadly very little of Viv's innings, all the wickets though.......sadly not a lot of SuperTest 2.......otherwise I'd put it up...

Bruce Laird never managed a ton in an official test match. The one he scored here against a strong WIndies attack shows what a very good player he was.
Almost half a century ago.
Living legends all.
Great. Enjoying my lockdown.
You're a happy little compliant midwit aren't you.
A rare win v Windies in WSC first season. The Chappell era saw the birth of modern cricket. All these years later, this needs to be acknowledged. Great upload, show more if it's available. 1975/6 preceding this was Lillee & Thomson blow the Windies out of the water, hence every Test team always looking for the fastest in their backyard.
Geez, Greg Chappell was a magnificent batsman.
Tradationa5mas
He had 2nd highest average in world series cricket. Just 23 behind Barry Richards.
one of the most stylish.
Yes, nearly as good as his brother.

2:03 - A more technically perfect hook shot by Ian Chappell you will not see. Well, maybe Ian again at 8:36. It's the foot work; how he steps inside the bouncer.
thanks for the upload, keep them coming
It's time the runs and wickets in these games were officially recognised.

I agree 100%
The ICC will not recognise these non official tests . the 71 72 Australia vs rest of world and England vs rest of world in 1973 4(the wettest series ever recorded in international cricket ) plus the rebel tour to south africa in 1982 ... None of these will be an official test
Recognise them? Why, so Kerry Packer and his money grubbing can be deified even more? It's not even a full strength Australian side.
great upload...one of the best ever on youtube
Thanks mate
I am Indian ,i have great fan of shri Ian Chappell commentary.
Ian have the great knowledge about technical and skills so he always commented best than rest of the commentary person.
I heard he tough man to bowl,i am not fortune to see many Ian games.
But his voice is just honey dip.
Have you got the footage of Lawrence Rowe's 175 at Melbourne in the World Series Super tests?
I WAS 19 YEARS OLD
WHEN THIS MATCH WAS PLAYED
I WAS CAPTIN OF MY ISLAMABAD 2 COLLEGE CRICKET TEAM
IT WAS MY GOLDEN PERIOD OF
MY WHOLE LIFE
@zahid : Brother Those were great days of Pakistan. It was a modern country those days. True those were golden days
A few Pakistani players in World Series Cricket. Imran Khan, Zaheer Abbas , Majid Khan, Asif Iqbal, Abdul Qadir I think.
Thanks mate, for posting the videos of supertests as this is pure gold, as there was not much coverage during the Kerry Packer series. If you could post more of the supertests, that would be great.
Thanks for posting.
What a great upload
Smashing uploads Lawrie more please
I was not fortunate to see Ian Chappell play but Greg and Trevor Chappell I did see play together.
PERFECT , THX A MILLION
Loved the games from all those alternate grounds VFL park etc.
Outstanding!
These should count as official tests. It was real and hard testing of bowling and batting. Interesting that the averages of Lillee Chappells and both Richards were on par with official test averages
You can't have official Tests matches between sides selected by a billionaire rather than a national selection panel, no matter how high the standard.
Interesting Australian team for the big Super Test. Couldn't even field a full strength team. Lots of holes and absences in the line up. No wonder things magically reconciled in the end.
Ian Chappell makes it look easy...
As my GF often say to me...
Superb... Upload!🤘
PS.. NO HELMETS!
Seem to recall they played some McDonalds cup matches out there at Football Park. Nice upload Lawrie. Any chance of getting hold of the full game at VFL Park. My recollection of date is 24th January 1978 where Wayne Daniel hit a six off Mick Malone to win the game. Nice to see Fred Trueman on camera with Richie there at the end
Great players Richards, Roberts, loyed, Fadericks, Greenidge, Garner, Holding,
Lillie, Ian Chappell, Graig Chappell,
Graig Chappell Class and calibre looking like
Great Chappell
Super tests were the greatest cricket ever played on the planet ....... and why it is so highly regarded because there has never been an era in which so much high quality players compete in the same arena at any given time in the game .
Yeah, okay mate 🙄
@@dwblurb, that is the general consensus. Very strong West Indies and Australian teams, plus the likes of Imran Khan and a few top South Africans playing for the Rest Of The World.
Loved it
I could swear I saw a spectator in there ... somewhere! 🤣🤣
Lovely hook shot at 2.06..
It was a shame that Rob Langer never got a crack at official test cricket. He averaged around 46 in his 1st Class career. I always thought he looked a very tidy player.
I was there.
Well done i Wish I was!
so was I. Just finished primary school heading into grade 8 highschool(back then)
awesome
Great times...
5:18 and a certain nephew named Justin was about 7 years old watching his Uncle Rob😎
His uncle Robb did better in his first innings than Justin did. Though Langer undoubtedly had the superior international career. Plus the bowling in this test 2as not as ferocious as it was at Adelaide in 1993.
@@evanaskew6652 Roberts, Holding and Garner not as ferocious? Garbage! Rob Langer was in the side because Roberts broke Hookes jaw a few weeks earlier.
Gold!
This was World Series Cricket started by Business tycoon Kerry Packer, Australia. He started a parallel Cricket establishment. It worked for a couple of years.
And evolved.
These were the real 'tests'
Greg Chappell and Rod Marsh both said,in a documentary about World Series Cricket, that it was the hardest cricket they ever played.No doubt all the others who participated shared the same view.😊
Look carefully at the dismissal of Bruce Laird, caught Lloyd at 4:44 . It was a bump ball, which is why Laird didn't walk immediately! It can be seen in every replay that follows, and the trajectory of the ball to Lloyd isn't at all as would be expected if it came directly off the edge of the bat.
Amazing they don't count these games as official test matches still.
I agree, that was cricket of the very highest standard played by many of the all-time greatest players.😊✨🏏
Well, since the teams were selected by an Australian millionaire rather than a representative body of each country, it's really not so surprising. First-class, maybe. Test, no.
will you upload videos of orange ball test ?
Could King and Albert Padmore - did they bowl anything besides half volleys and full tosses... Why on Earth are they in that team.. they look like they just didn't belong on that team.
King could bat, don't forget. Not everyone can claim to have overshadowed an in-form Viv Richards in a partnership, but King did just that in the 1979 World Cup final.
With the ball, he was just a handy part-timer.
Pls upload 1960 matches
World series cricket was premier league stuff.
Was this an unofficial test series?
Virat Kohli fan spotted!
Saptarshi Talukdar this was Packer Cricket. Not even classed as first class cricket.
It was not an official test series . If you delve into the history of World Series Cricket you will find it came in being by Australian media mogul Kerry Packer as an alternative to traditional cricket which had become stagnant . Organisers of WSC were very innovative , this is when batting helmets were first worn , coloured cricket clothes with body shirts , night cricket , drop in cricket pitches and 50 over games were introduced . It was a cricket revolution which today's cricketers and fans can be thankful for .
@@shaneb6004 It destroyed Reall cricket.This Gambler has been supported by those windies player who now said to these kids about their commitment.Only positive was Channel 9 team.
@@kunalsingh3121 Yes , I agree . Traditional cricket was destroyed . As innovative as WSC was , here in Australia First Class Cricket crowds fell dramatically as all the best players were playing international cricket . Today hardly a soul attend Sheffield Shield matches , instead people go to Big Bash 20/20 games . Even the once very popular 50 over games are suffering from crowd depletion due to this new form of cricket . Test cricket survives , but as a once avid cricket fan I don't have the keen interest in that form of cricket anymore , it is overly commercialized now .
All the best .
I remembered when the wi team left to Kerry Paker ,after resigned from test cricket to play for more money. So when I heard these former players were criticizing some of younger players ,about their commitment. For playing for the wi team over money, it is two things to it. Either they are full of bad minds against the amount of money these guys is getting to play, or they forgot what they did .
I hope they could got the chance to watch how they played poor cricket here,and now they are critizing these younger now.
The only thing useto really helped the wi team as such,was mostly the bowling. Because the batting was not that good at all, the bowling was the wi strength with those short pitch balls.
A team containing Viv Richards, Gordon Greenwich, Clive Lloyd and Lawrence Rowe represented the best batting line up in test cricket at the time so I don't know what you are talking about.
Deryck Murray... drop too many catches
Do post videos on indian cricket team👫👫👫
the end of sport . the start of greed
Maybe the ACB should have you know, played their players what they were worth.
I believe you are both correct.
Liv cricket 😂
Looks bizarre to see this played in a stadium that was virtually empty. The crowds stayed away at first out of some kind of loyalty to the 'establishment'. The Packer rebels were seen as traitors at first but by the end of the summer they were playing in front of decent crowds, the next summer everybody and his brother were queueing up and reaching into their pockets to pay cash money for tickets.
