In his 9-fer, Hadlee actually caught the other wicket! He basically stopped his chance of getting 10. He was always about the team and the match, and never about himself. An absolute warrior of a player.
@@utkarsh3034 Do you remember the catch by any chance? I remember it, and it wasn't one of the most easiest of catches that he could have taken. He had to run almost 20 metres with the flight of the ball to take it, and he never took his eyes off the ball.
Feel lucky to have grown up in the Hadlee era and seen this great fast bowler. Also loved to watch him bat as well. He was a clean striker of the ball, without been a dirty slogger ( theres a difference) . He picked the ball in his hitting area to dispatch to the boundary, as oppose to trying to clobber every ball.
They call soccer 'The Beautiful Game' but when Hadlee and others in his generation were at their peak they certainly made Cricket a 'Beautiful Game' to watch.
I know some other bowlers have better averages or strike rates etc., but for me the three fast bowlers I have enjoyed watching the most in watching cricket since 1974 have been Dennis Lillee, Malcolm Marshall, and Richard Hadlee. Beautiful actions, skill and variety, and massive hearts. I remember watching this game live on TV and the Australians had no answer (or in Andrew Hilditch's case, no clue).
Richard Hadlee was the precursor to bowlers viz. McGrath, Akram, Walsh etc. Such complete and exquisite mastery over the cricket ball, without searing pace. The original GOAT of pace bowling.
Glenn McGrath was in the same mode as Sir Richard Hadlee, never express but so accurate and deceptive. With such great swing and seam control, and control over lenght. Always testing the batsman, and finally getting him. Legends both.
I remember watching this live, it’s amazing the random things you remember vividly after all these years, then struggle to remember what you had for lunch yesterday
33 wickets in 3 matches in an away series, if anyone ever beats that I sure would like to see that, watching cricket for 50+ years I strongly suspect this will never be bettered
I remember getting the bus to trent bridge to watch Hadley and Randall, Hadley was some bowler, It used to cost us a quid to get in, loved trent bridge, now you need to take out a loan for a days test cricket ive
A true master. The best fast medium bowler in the history of the game. He could literally put the ball on a dime at a lively pace. Throw in his dangerous batting and he’d make many pundits All Time Team. It was a privilege to watch him perform.
@@jeremybell-connell5137 In his initial test years, yes he was a fast bowler but he cut down his run-up, refined his action for more control. So whereas he may have been bowling at high 130's to low 140's in the late 70's, like when he destroyed England in 1978 and looking every bit as menacing as Bob Willis......his speed was consistently around the low 130's after shortening his run-up.
@@zabaleta66Ian Botham stated in one of his books that Hadlee had the best control of any fast bowler he has ever seen and even off the short run up, was capable of true pace when needed.
@@nikhilhembrom8952That's true. Only Martin Crowe was truly a great amongst the batsmen, with John Wright and Andrew Jones also world class. But that's not alot of batting depth. If Hadlee played in a side with the depth of New Zealand teams of the past couple of decades, they'd be very hard to beat.
Feel blessed to witness the greatest All Rounders playing And enjoying their Greatest performances and moments Kapil Dev,Imran Khan,Sir Richard Hadlee and Sir Ian Botham.
McGrath and Hadlee these two were legendary bowlers no matter what the conditions were. Both followed same mantra in two different eras. They tried hard and tried to bowl 99 out of 100 deliveries in the channel of uncertainty which always made the batsmen to play it. Both averages in the early 20s McGrath's overseas averages is just exceptional 20.81 along with 274 wickets in 58 overseas tests. Richard Hadlee also no difference 43 overseas matches 230 wickets at 21.88.
New Zealand's greatest moment in tests, but sad to think we've only ever beaten Australia three times on their own soil - two in this series. It has been too long, and it is time. This year is our chance. We have the better team. We need to make it happen.
@@WINFIELD120 We have the best show we've ever had. We have better batsmen, and better bowlers. What do they have? Steve Smith? Pat Cummins? Those two can't win tests all by themselves. They struggled against England, and we have a better test team than England. It's on.
@@simonmorris746 Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing? I don't think even the most pessimistic of us could have predicted New Zealand would be that dreadful, nor Australia so much more on top of their game than the team that played the Ashes. It's some consolation that Australia also whipped India by ten wickets in their ODI, against what we keep getting told is "the best bowling attack in the world".
Wasim is not as good as Hadlee in test cricket. Check records. Hadlee took 431 wickets in only 150 innings. Wasim 414 wickets in 181 innings. @@Abbas-zl6hl
Whats really interesting about his career is, he took 11 years to take his first 200 wickets and 6 to take 231. His average and wicket tally was also better away from home.
What a beautiful beautiful display of fast bowling., deserves the honour of sir., thank you very much for sharing this lovely post on youtube to respect sir Richard hadllee.
Late swing, seam movement, fluid piston-like bowling action, not the fastest, but fast enough with a deadly cricketing brain...and could smash 50+ with the bat. The first cricketing professional before the new millennium. And a tiger against Australia!!!
I think a fair person could argue the best fast bowler ever, definitely top 5 his record speaks to it 36 5 wt innings...36!!!!!, 22 ave, 9 10 wt matches, two test centuries over 3000 runs and he played on a very very very ordinary team...he was basically the bowling attack. If he played for Australia he would be identified as the best Aussie fast bowler so I would say he is the best ANZAC fast bowler of all time. Tremendous player
431 wickets in just 86 Test Matches , in an era of Legendary Batsman is simply outstanding bowling of Sir Richard Hadlee. The First bowler ever to reach 400 Test Wickets.
NPA1001 Hadlee was a bit quicker but McGrath got extra bounce. Both great bowlers and both were the standout best fast bowlers in the world at stages during their respective careers
My father said richard hadlee was the finest bowler of all time as per him. Reason is you couldn’t tell looking at his wrist whether its a inswinger or outswinger. He was able to predict swing of almost every bowler including mcgrath but not hadlee.
I attended the same high school as Richard, and foolishly took up the offer to face him in the nets "just for fun" (which meant only the one tired old pad on the front leg) when he was 14 years of age. Because I wore spectacles, he bowled me a lolly first up - swing and a miss - and the next one I don't even remember seeing, just the clatter of rearranged woodwork behind me. A fierce competitor, he was also a gracious winner. "Next time" he said to me as I shrivelled with embarrassment. His brother Dayle, a year ahead of me, was even faster, until back injury forced him to change his style and pace.
Happy Birthday ❤
An absolute masterclass,I feel so privileged to of seen Hadlee live on kiwis tour of England '83
One of the greatest bowlers to ever live. Respect from Australia.

I know some other bowlers have better averages or strike rates etc., but for me the three fast bowlers I have enjoyed watching the most in watching cricket since 1974 have been Dennis Lillee, Malcolm Marshall, and Richard Hadlee. Beautiful actions, skill and variety, and massive hearts. I remember watching this game live on TV and the Australians had no answer (or in Andrew Hilditch's case, no clue).

His brother Dayle, a year ahead of me, was even faster, until back injury forced him to change his style and pace.
He was amazing fast bowler in 80s. In this particular test match he was unplayable.
Hadlee also took the catch to claim the 10th wicket, when he had already taken the other 9 as bowler.
I was about to add that but you beat me to it. It was off the bowling of Vaughan Brown.
No he had taken 8 only at that time. Geoff Lawson was the 9th wicket. You can see in the clip that Hadlee took the last wicket.
