And compare it to Tendulakar wearing an armor plate in his body to score 15900 runs. Gavaskar is far superior to Tendulakar and should have been the first recipient of Bharat Ratna
Little Master displaying so much maturity and huge talent so early in his international career. Test cricket is yet to see an opener of his calibre so far.
@@reecosmicatomsb8576 that's how little you know about the game. Get any of today's fellows to go out in the middle without a helmet and all that massive protection they have.
@@reecosmicatomsb8576 You sir lack class, and need I say common sense, to make such a disparaging comment about one of the greatest test batsmen of all time. He held the world records for most centuries and highest runs in test cricket for a long time, played 125 tests for India. 13 test centuries against the likes of Roberts, Holding, Garner, and Marshall, that too without protection on uncovered pitches. Players like Tendulkar grew up idolizing him, and players like Viv Richards and Imran Khan respected him. You are a nobody!
Fantastic upload. John Price had a very interesting bowling action with his curved run up. John Snow was disciplined after his collision with Gavaskar and missed the next test match
John SNOW seems to deliberately jostle Gavaskar and push him done, and the animosity between the two lasted for a while. Price's bowling action is lovely to watch. India lost this test, the second at Old Trafford was washed out at an interesting stage of play. But India created history in the next test at the Oval.
Thanks for this classic upload. i was 3 months and 4 days old when this game was being played. This is so clean good cricket. No show. Only cricket.I have been watching those fays cricket clips which are been uploaded. Those seem to be lovely days.
In his "Sunny Days", Gavaskar says that John Price bowled some of the fastest balls he has ever faced ... at least at till time the book was published in the late 70s. Finally get to see this after so many years. Thank you Mr. Mordecai
Sweaters pulled down over their bums and some portly figures out there no one looking particularly athletic I doubt there was a single six pack amongst them
Great upload. You are uploading real classics. Keep it up. The infamous John Snow incident at 7:45 was quite the talking point those days. It would've hardly raised a murmur today. Seeing it now makes one wonder how the game has changed!
Great clip. Such a pleasure to 2a4ch these two bat. Heard the radio commentary when Rnginner almost scored a century before lunch in Chenni on the 1st day of a test. Great wicketkeeper too. His rivalry with Budhi Kunderan was legend.
Great video. Was listening to this match on radio and it was an exciting draw because India took calculated risks to get to the target before the rain.
Gavaskar still stands on top of my list ahead of Sachin, and Virat. Why because he opens for India facing the fire where as Sachin and Virat middle order batsman. Thanks for the Upload Sir
@@jahno7154 He had a fourth inning test average of 58+, that means batting on days 4 and 5 on a turning, spiteful pitch with uneven bounce. I am not sure if there is any batsman with a higher 4th inning average.
Listening to the game on the radio, we thought the game was in the bag when Engineer & SMG were motoring along till it all came down like a house of cards!
Good coverage though there was not that much technology! Those days we used to listen to only commentary on A.I.R but it was quite thrilling! Those days were Binaca Geet Mala days also so we used to enjoy both commentary & hit songs🎵 !👍 🏏 👌 ❤
Snow wasn't a favourite of the establishment and they must have been looking for an excuse to get back at him. Even Gavaskar thought the incident was overblown.
Irrespective of Snowy's problem with the English cricket edtablidhment I think Snowy should have tried this with Miandad and I bet Miandad would have reciprocated very genorously and would have got more than he gave . And if a coloured bowler had done this to an English batsman the commentator who remarked in this video about Snowy's act being fairplay eould have definitely remarked ' this is not cricket "
@@niladrimukherjee2098 I agree that English commentators, particularly at this time were definately inclined towards national bias and at times even worse showing racist inclinations. Here Jim Laker indicates that he felt it wasn't acceptable behavior from Snow. Ted Dexter the other commentator is in the process of trying to claim that Snow was doing nothing wrong as he was reviewing the replay that we didn't see up until the point that he has to admit that Snow put his shoulder into Sunil. I agree that if a West Indian, Indian or Pakistani cricketer did the same thing there would have been abject indignation and an extreamly condemning response from the commentators along with outrageous racism from the British media. Snow clearly showed a nasty side here and deserved more severe punishment than just a one match ban.
Recall reading somewhere that an MCC official (Billy Griffith?) stormed into the dressing room at the tea break & in a volcanic rage, shouted at Snow "That's the most disgraceful thing I've seen on a cricket field"!!
There was a photo in the newspaper the next day showing Gavaskar completely airborne. Thanks for this great upload, had never seen this before. Looking at the footage, JS shoulder charged the little man for sure. We 12-year-olds were livid reading the next day that the bat was "thrown" by the bowler:-)
In older days the run up used to be quite a trend ...long run up to bowl, some almost trekked half of ground for bowling run up just few meters from boundary.
Indua won at the Oval. Why were India so poor on the 1974 tour? Virtually the same lineup except for a couple of batters. Same bowlers. Maybe the early summer pitches in 1974 offered less turn. Hutton seemed a bit of a weak link as first change. Amiss really established himeself 1973 onwards. Funny seeing how batting stances have changed. Never realised Amiss fielded at 1st slip to the seamers. At this point, no one, of course, was quite aware that sunil would become the little master.
Wonderful upload 🤩🤩,,don't you have the daywise long highlights of this complete match and other tests,just like your many ashes series uploads,i am waiting fr ashes 68 and 72 too if you have detailed highlights
Rarely can a medium fast bowler have run so far and from such a curved angle as John Price did! It is fascinating to watch, but as his pace and swing is generated entirely from his upper body strength and action in the final delivery stride, it looks like a lot of wasted effort to me. I can't conceive how on earth he managed to consistently repeat such a complicated approach to the wicket either!
7:40 It is so obvious that John Snow tried not only to obstruct Gavaskar from taking the run, but also he assaulted him with shoulder push. One of the commentator was honest in his description of the incident, but the other commentator displayed total partiality by defending Snow. As Snow directly ran into his shortest route to the crease, Gavaskar was forced to take a little curve to his own disadvantage. The dishonest commentator is taking excuse of the elongated route to defend Snow. Snow should have been penalized for his action. But the English player could get away shamelessly smiling.
I read about this match in Sunny Days.... it's absolutely Marvel to see Sunny, Gavaskar Wadekar Farooq Engineer battery. in 1971
Thank you very much.
Gavaskar hats off...the one man army against any pace attack..and played without helmet...a real master of all masters...
And compare it to Tendulakar wearing an armor plate in his body to score 15900 runs. Gavaskar is far superior to Tendulakar and should have been the first recipient of Bharat Ratna

He was a tuku tuku batsman. Today he will be dropped in the next test.

I was there. Was getting nervous at tea but the rain scuppered the chance of a result

I thought he had a beautiful action crazy run up though
Snow deliberately made gavasker fall
@@anilkumarharshe3760 yes. English arrogance 😡

I think England was unlucky not to win this test due to weather.
Please read down ( not done)
Quality of video excellent. I can still remember my father was listening running commentary in the late evening on short wave . Great idea.
They invented TV.. We did not even have one till 80s

When was that book written 1971 ? LOL
@@jahno7154 It was definitely after 1976 after Michael Holding had torn the Indian side apart at Kingston.
@@jahno7154Sunny Days was published in late 1970s.
Excellent quality - considering 1971
I was one years old by that time . Starting knowing cricket from 1987. Great play by Little Master with ease .
Snow one of the smoothest run up n beautiful action ever, wonderful bowler
Salute to sunny, the little master. No helmet, no arm/ chest guard, heavy shoes and pads, but superb technique ❤
Thanks for the upload.
Two masters one in the twilight of his career and another begins an era in 1971. superb upload
Jo helmets. No arm guards. Uncovered pitches. Sleeves rolled up. Shirt buttons open.
What a treat
Its like watching village cricket. without the quality of course.
Sweaters pulled down over their bums and some portly figures out there no one looking particularly athletic I doubt there was a single six pack amongst them
@@Danny310563 To be fair, cricket was full of unfit players until very very recently.
@@cricketylife8742 yes exactly so
Much more athletic these days
Alan Knott was the lone fitness freak back then
Relaxing to watch yesteryear’s cricket when it was really a gentlemen’s game😊. Video quality is good.

Thank you for broadcasting this very old match

Fantastic stuff very interesting.

Agreed to average 51 in tests as an opener is sensational

Very nice picture. Young Gavaskar playing with Farook superb innings. Sainathan
The best batsman of India is Sunny way ahead of Sachin and Virat
True
Please just enjoy the game instead of making odious comparisons with other cricketers who were not even born in 1971.
Golden days of Indian cricket.
Well said Mr.Sriram, one in the twilight and the other in the sunrise of his career.

What a great upload. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for the upload
Sir Sunil Gavasker has rated this 57 runs innings as his best.
He must've been drunk!
Gavaskar is the Father of modern India ,s cricket.

upload all important test which won by india at Lords in 71
The all time opening pair selected by most of the players is Gavaskar and most destructive batsman sehavag
Jon snow - an English gentleman.E could b success story in nigeria sudan.
Can you please down load first innings please. I wish to see Wadekar's batting.
Correction : upload ..not down load
@@raghunathk9951not much to see if I remember correctly. I think India scored something like 190 runs in the day. I was there
I wonder who won the 2.45 at Goodwood!
Thanks for the upload
Is Omar Quraishi one of the commentators?

How you get hold of this gem
I am only seeing Gavaskar.. Nothing else
Why isn’t the replay of the Snow/Gavaskar incident shown?
Those days replays were not shown as the technology for that was not available.
In so many interviews sunny told his one of best of all

Gavasker was picture of concentration
I was too young to understand or remember this as I was just thirteen months old at the time. My knowledge of this era is therefore second hand.
Was Snow playing soccer or what ? He would have been suspended had this incident taken place these days
What a funny run up, although beautiful
Very Nice

The other commentator was certainly racial and partial. But they could get away easily as India was not powerful in the cricket world at that time.
In this series India won first time in London soil results 1 -0
❤
At that time, noone wore helmet, gentleman, there was no helmet
Had this incident happened today snow or rain would have been laid there and then.
