A Symonds was lucky that he didn't faced GREAT WAQAR YOUNUS at his peak. I am 100 percent sure his feet was not with his legs or his toe was not with his foot. In 2003 WC , Waqar was not at his best due to age. Simple is it .
I totally understand the need for acquiring the right tools for the gentleman’s game, I myself have 30 plus bats that are all knocked in, with toe guards and facings and getting them all knocked etc gives them so much more life. Yeah I have 30+ plus bats. And all these bats in this video are awesome.
Alvin sure got one over Chappelli 😂 Mid '70's cricket here in Oz sure was tops,our home team at it's peak,and a West Indies team packed with rising stars. The cricket was hard fought, with many brilliant performances. Outstanding fast bowling,betting, fielding. Doug Walters was injured and didn't play. He would have found Roberts and Holding a handful. Thomson was THE one, unbelievably dangerous, and this takes into account Lillee Roberts and Holding,and their efforts. A tragedy when Thommo busted his shoulder at the start of the next season v Pakistan.👍😁
Very underrated fast bowler, always given the opportunity to bowl fourth change after Roberts, Holding and Garner. But look at his test records, it is 125 wickets from a mere 25 test matches!! That is a strike rate of 5 wickets per test!! Even the greats like Lillee and Hadlee finshed with almost same strike rate but they played for longer duration which is more commendable. But this guy had express pace. Could not play more as the lure of the lucrative rebel Windies tour took him away to South Africa which actually proved a blessing for the already unbeatable West Indian side as it paved way for Marshall to cement his place in the fear some fast battery.....
Every fast bowler has bowled the beamer! I was a quick bowler myself,and every time I strived for extra pace,I ended up releasing the ball a fraction earlier than I should have. It happens!!
I watched this video and felt motivated. My friends saw this video and felt motivated. My neighbours saw this and were motivated. We rented a projector in a big field and my village people saw this and felt motivated. Thank you so much for this video. May god bless you.
Pakistanis suggesting that Waqar would have turned the world upside down if he was at his peak forget that Symonds was a young player at this time and not at his peak either. Not to mention that regardless of the players the format or the era, Pakistan usually lose to Australia, and often very embarrassingly. Thats just recorded fact.
Westindies lost this series by 5_0 because westindies has not good batsman and Lara was badly flop in this series but westindies bowling attack not bad that was good bowling attack
