My father used to told me, it was almost 90% sure tha, india and Pakistan were sure to play the final... The tickets went for hundreds of rupess, which was high amount at that time... Eden Gardens was sold out, although nobody wanna see Australia and England play...
When you watch Mike Gatting bat, particularly when in full flow, there is no telling that he's not in anyway among the highest run getters of the late 20th century, in the league of Border, Miandad, Gooch etc. A big underachiever. A series of misfortunes and personal attitude issues.
27 balls baaki thi aur aaj yeh saare gyaan detey hain aur croro kamaate hain interview commentary karke. shame 50 over toh khelo 50 over 45.3 over mein all out. kapil gavaskar, shastri mentor bantey hain mentor

This repeat was shown on 28th May 1986 when rain stopped play in a B&H Quarter final match between Essex and Notts. I was sat at Chelmsford at that game hoping for the rain to subside and Essex to win having put Notts into trouble at 39-3 chasing 196. Neither happened and the next day I wasn't there to see Notts win by 3 wickets. Good that you have managed to get these highlights for us to enjoy, thank you.
i would love to give all these past players the opputunitity to play with the bats they enjoy today, i wonder what they would think!! maybe greatness is left in the past, different times, great times!
In a career in first class cricket that lasted 21 years, Stuart Law scored 27,000+ runs at an average of 50+, yet he only ever played 1 test match for Australia. A travesty for a man of his talent!
As a schoolboy, I saw Colin Cowdrey bat a number of times at Canterbury at the tail end of his career. To me, he was a strangely diffident batsman, often playing with excessive caution bowlers he had the strokes to dominate. Every now and then, he permitted himself the luxury of a cover driven boundary that demonstrated this fact. His fielding at slip was obviously less sharp than in his pomp, but there was really nowhere else he could field. His build was 'comfortable', to say the least, and he was not a fast mover. Most people thought he played on too long with nothing to prove, but there was one last glorious hurrah in the ton he scored for Kent against the Aussies in 1975. I saw that innings. He was 42 years old then and he made good runs against an attack that included Lillee, Gilmour and Mallett. The applause he got from the Aussies was generous and well meant. A man not, I think, given to any great show of emotion, his pleasure when he reached his century was evident.
Actually India had this match in their hands.. but they dug their own grave.. well set batsmen like Srikant and Kapil Dev just threw their wickets away. . But the shocking dismissal was of Sunil Gavaskar who was bowled to a ball he shud never have very very surprising
kapil dev nikhanj ki ek dikkat thi bowler toh aache they par batting woh virender sehwag ki tarah karte they unke andar tuk tuk karne ka caliver nahi tha jo aaj rahul aur kohli ke paas hain woh tha siddhu tha har ball boundery paar
The best batsman in my time of watching. I know there is lots of greats depending how far you go back or forward but this guy for me was unreal. Style, mental strength, attacking mentality. MASSIVE SCORES ❤
If Colonel vengsarkar has been fit for this match we had won that semifinal . because Azharuddin has played brilliantly he needs support from other end ..vengsarkar Azharuddin combo had won that match
He and west Indies are playing superb high class cricket. I have question for them, why he and they were not become world Champions after 1983 lost to India? Is this match fixer scandel ruin them?
This is back in the day when the BBC had one cameraman on duty seemingly perched many miles from the action! The best thing that ever happened to the TV coverage of cricket in this country was the end of the BBC's monopoly. Cricket coverage has improved dramatically. Even the BBC has been forced to up its game!
Got to know Sachin and Kambli were ball boys for this match, 4 years later they played world cup together. Gavaskar opening instead of Shastri was blunder he would rarely score runs under Kapils captaincy, what was Chandrakant pandit and Kiran More doing together? backup keeper
There was a conspiracy theory that sunny got out early as he didn't want to go play at eden gardens. I don't think it's true. Pandit played because vengsarkar got injured.
The whole Maestro series was wonderful. Unpretentious and thoughtful. The classification of " Maestro" should only be stamped on the truly elite sportsman/ woman in their field.
