i saw it on TV, probably the first ever test match telecast live, as a 10th standard student at nearby St Xavier's High School. They gave us holiday for 5 days, since it was the first ever test here; and while few of us could afford a ticket, we could watch it on black and white TV set specially borrowed for the purpose and kept in a school room. I was one of the students who paid the fee of Rs 5 which was for all 5 days. Still remember the excitement of actually watching a match rather than listen to commentary, even though the set was pitch black. Other than the joy of watching the West Indies fast bowlers, I remember Richards' stunning catch, which the commentator here rightly described as one of the best; he dived, pushed up the ball, and caught it. Somehow the telecast showed it better than here.
I am here looking at the greatest of all times Shivaji Ganesan ji in thumbnail. Though he is from my Grandparents and Parents era. What a Smile!! What a face!! What a personality!!! I remember when Shatrughan Sinhaji and Amitabh Bachchanji was playing dump sharads in one of the shows, when Amitabh ji said "hum sab ke guru". Shatruji asked is it "Shivaji Ganesan". The man who played Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and got that name Shivaji attached to his original name Ganesan,. The man who played Karna, in Mahabharata and had audiences coming out in tears. Love it!❤❤❤
7:21 and the man in the thumbnail, the greatest actor India ever produced and a great Patriot, Chevalier Sivaji Ganesan. His style sense is damn too ahead of his time!
@@vipinvenugopal4529 it was great to watch Indian greats, Vishy, Gavaskar, Pataudi, Chandra, Prasanna, Venkat so I decided to watch the Test before taking up my new job. Entire stadium was stunned by the pace of Roberts. Greenidge was great, Kalicharan was clinical & Lloyd was brutal. Saw the flash of brilliance of Richards. We saw the match as a friendly not the way it's played today. There was bonhomie among players. I'll always remember this Test.
The said video was shown in indian news reel at that time in cinimas. Being a shivaji fan its still in my memory. The whole royal theatre in coimbatore whistled n clabbed on seeing him.
My first cricket outing at the age of 10... running commentary through all india radio. Still remember the first day score of WI 202/2 and fighting abid ali score of 49 for india. Never ever dreamt that i could get an opportunity to see this match as a video. Thanks to technology and whomsoever traced and shared it..
Thanks a million for uploading this! What a joy to watch people from my dads era. So many stories i have heard, good to watch such a wonderful match. True Legends at Play.
6 weeks ago, I went to see the Karnataka - Rajasthan quarterfinal at the Chinnaswamy. It was my first visit and all the while I was thinking of the very first test played here - and Greenidge's knocks of 93 and 107. Well, who would have thought I'd be watching highlights of the match in another 40 days?!?!? Thanks a million, Mr.Jai :-)
Dont be too quick to conclude that. Crowd back then were seriously ill mannered. They have sneaked into the ground and assaulted the players on several occasions and there has been tremendous scenarios when the common audience started attacking each other too
@@samzero00james thats actually after 80's people behved like that due to craze... before 80's people were shy to even stand infront of camera.. so you dont be too quick to conclude
Thanks for uploading . This was first match took place at KSCA and I watched this match at stadium. Earlier we used to go to Central College grounds for matches.
Thanks for this lovely video! We were in high school and saw it on Closed circuit TV on Black and white screen in a group of Cricket enthusiasts in majestic area!! Good old days!! Richards flopped here and Chandra was his nemesis!
I was a PUC student and studying at Tumkur, and watched the test all the days coming by train early in morning. Shortly after this England were here that also i watched ....... sooper series and hatsoff to M Chinnaswamy.
Thanks for uploading! I was lucky to have watched the Madras test in Chepauk (GRV 97 not out). That series was remembered as Vishy Vs WI series. Nice to see Sivaji Ganesan in this video!
It was nice seeing the start of this great series of 74-75. It’s amazing to see pure cricket being played in true sportsmanship with no theatrics when a person I.S. caught or there I.S. a LBW decision. The camera angles were diabolical and missed most of the important moments. Much later the Aussies showed us what true cricket telecast looks like when we had the privilege to see the World Championship series in 84 😊
I'm the lucky one who watched this match live - Clive Lloyd was at his menacing best and one six went out of the ground. That was Lloyd at his best - It was an awesome match
Very nostalgic to see the old cricket. GR Visvanath - the master of square cut , EAS Prasanna's googly, Chandra's swing, and the class Clive Lloyd, and hammering Gordon Greenidge! All thru this video, I can see one thing. West Indies were attacking batsmen, but Indians never attached, but defended and lost! Wish someone like K Srikanth was there in Indian team before, just hammer from the first ball, then you can see result! Richards is clueless with Chandra & was totally scared of him! Andy Roberts, Holder - the pace fearsome, but one thing to appreciate is indian batsmen never had helmet, and had so much courage to face the pace! That was the time when resources, money were all limited, and it is survival. These golden era can never come back! Thanks for sharing this lovely video! I am happy recalling my school days with AIR commentary!
Thanks a million sir. You made my day. I saw this match and you brought back many memories ... first ball four that Greenedige hits, Lloyd's catch to dismiss pataudi, Holder's 4 continuous deliveries which made Brijesh almost give up playing cricket . Soooper
Nostalgic memories of this match which I watched live at KSCA Chinnaswamy stadium! Thanks for this upload. A suggestion: please list names of players, umpires and commentators where possible.
I remember our school sports teacher talking about his experience on watching this game with huge crowd in chinnaswamya stadium and specially umpire standing which had totally changed when compared to this days. And development of chinnaswamy stadium to this days.
Jai saab, laak laak shukar…..all your uploads are absolute gems and manna for cricket nuts! Kallicharan was fantastic....smooth, elegant, fearless strokemaker! The master blaster was seemingly still cutting his teeth and an early bunny of Chandra;-) I've one request.....can you pls. upload 1983-84 series vs Windies in India? I think that's by far the most ferocious attack that visited us.....Macko terrifying in uppercase, Holding menacing, Winston Davis equally dangerous and the 4th pacer split between Daniel and Roberts(Roberts dint get to play until the 5th test)…..more than anything I want to see Macko's spell in Kanpur test! Thanks a million
Just look at indian tailenders they fighting back giving back taking on windies attack and look our today tailender they can't even 20 balls so sad to see epic cricket in 70s❤️
Wonderful footage. Was a very important tour for the west indies. Roberts, viv and grenidge first big tour, clive Lloyd's first tour as captain and a very exciting result. 2 all in 6 test series. Great to see Andy Roberts bowling, he gave us Aussies hell for many years
Thank you Mr.Jai galagali sir, i went to watch the match on 26 th nov 1974 all the way from NANJANGUD, i was just 11 years old, my uncle left me in the 25 rs gallery and he went to the pavilion, i had lost my sweater after lunch, First i saw Lloyd what a moment it was. my favorites Vishy and Chandrashekar, people clapping when chandra bowled, what a innings from Lloyd 163 caught solkar bowled chandra.First experience in my life saw Pataudi and Engineer injured by venkat's delivery,thanks again. After some days a documentary DREAMS COME TRUE was released in sangam theatre bangalore, was a treat to watch all the 5 test matches, can you get it? please
Anil Usha What a lovely recollection! I along with my childhood friends were trying to recollect hard the name of that movie. Thanks for reminding. Will do my best -,Dreams come true ko “dhoond ke nikaalenge” !
6.55 GRV confident eyes in facing that Pacer!!!!!!he did not move any part of his body or bat untill ball is delivered!!!!!!tremendous confidence !!!!!??today's striker constantly beat bat to the ground even when bowler is still at his run up starting point !!!!!!!!!!??????
I also studied at st.xaviers high school.I bribed police Rs 2 to watch this match.Gavaskar came to stadium in ambassador taxi, paid rs.20 fare.I took autograph.. school.declared holiday to watch the match.
Farokh Engineer MAK Pataudi Abid Ali played their last test series for India...this 1974-75 series against WI. Bangalore test was debut for Gordon Greenidge and Vivian Richards.
Yes I do remember and also we bros paid rupees 25 only for gallery stand season ticket ( 5 days) We used to leave home by early 5.30 am in jayanagar and take bts bus which was provided for spectators to reach stadium. By 8 am we were inside the stadium. Such was a passion then. Great test match in blore's debut test match. What classic vintage nostalgia era
6.28 Farouk Engineer backed to pavilion even before catch is completed,,what a height of honesty !!?????today bats men argue with umpire decision!!!!???Gavaskar ,Farouk facing W.INDIES pace battery Roberts,Holding,........without even cap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?? that too in their hay days !!!!?!???How daring those players!!!!!?? Unimaginable !!!????unconceivable !!!!!!???confidence !!!!!!!!!!????nowdays batters put helmet even for spinners!!!!!!!
i was 11 years old so in this series first two matches west indies won next two matches india won but finally wankhede stadium bombay of 6 days match west indies won in that particular match captain of west indies clive lyod at 9 droped my farookh engineer so this catch very costly to india he made 242 not out
