God I'd love to see this in 1080p. People forget how good the 90's were for cricket. Aussie dream team vs Cronje and a great SA team. And the incomparable Ritchie Benaud & team on the Mic. Fantastic
You really think this season was the BEST ever ..when it comes to the WSC one day games.. The 1996-97 season is my TOP FAVORITE ., probably because I’ve been a BIG LARA fan
@@VVS167 I watched this series live as a teenager, then watched this very same highlights tape just a few times thereafter... great cricket games one after the other with NZ and SA worthy foes but it's the emergence of Warne and McGrath in this world series that make it special for me.
@@wdnicolson nice 👍 I am from India and loved to watch the wake up early morning here in india ESPN Bill lawry Richie benaud commentry so Big ground those days I miss so much 😭 channel nine logo and score card
What a nostalgia of this type of tri-series..level of cricket remained always high-class in Australia..later on, more tri-series were also established but now a days, this is not happening..very sad!!
Number of times I have heard him say that over the years … and the comment keeps popping up on these old videos. But those simple sayings ring true, they’re not that difficult to understand. Another one is that if you’re going to flash, flash hard (said the actress to the bishop!) 😂😂😂
In Australia only they don't use ropes But in rest of the countries they use ropes..... In Australia if u need a 6 means u need to clear those tall 4-5 feet advertising boards.... To get a 6 runs
In hindsight, it’s remarkable that New Zealand got as close as they did to making the finals. They had no Crowe, no Morrison for most of the series, Jones was out of form and Cairns was yet to impose himself. The bowling attack was tidy and efficient and keep us in games but it wasn’t quite enough.
The first game was played in Melbourne, as you can see the field wasn’t in good condition because of a Madonna concert. Brian Mcmillian injured his knee because of the torn up field and a certain Gary Kirsten was called up from South Africa to join the tour and the rest is history …
NZ got 256. Then rains came, SA lost 11 overs but the target was reduced by just 27 runs to be set at 229. I guess there was no DLS in place at that time and the same rain rule applied as was the case in 1992 WC.
Hard not to feel sorry for Danny Morrison! When he got it right, he was absolutely lethal: one tiny fraction of swing had top batsmen second-guessing themselves every ball. When he didn't, the searing pace would just carry the ball to the boundary. Donald could bowl 150 km/h virtually effortlessly at the time. For Morrison, it was a back-breaking effort to sustain that kind of speed. Yet he did! He was fast as FUCK when he needed to be. But it cost him. Final analysis: on a bad pitch, all you have to fall back on - is pace through the air. Allan Donald's stock delivery was about 143. Glenn McGrath - substantially more human at 132-odd. Controlled, with swing, line and length guaranteed. Danny Morrison, the short muscular freak, would bust his shoulder joint to sustain it around 138-140 odd. In order to threaten. McGrath tops out at about 146-7. Donald is well above 150, guaranteed. A motivated Morrison is quicker than Waqar Younis. Scary stuff! And then he would go back to "damage limitation". Poor guy! A real, REAL quick in certain isolated spells. But when you don't have the height to generate late upsurge, like unnatural bounce... what do you do, just hurl it at the blockhole every time?... You NEED to be tall in order to be an effective fast bowler. OR - you're the freak of nature that goes by the name of Shoaib Akhtar. My hat's off to Daniel Kyle Morrison. A 5ft9 guy that hit over 155. Surreal.
@@johnnyhammer LOL 😂😂😂 !!! If someone's that boastful, they'd be considered a proper meme! Just reminiscing about my teenage years here: I grew up in South Africa - where cricket was a hell of a big deal in the 90's. And I remember a test series in 1994-95 - where that crazy little whacko came in to replace the injured Chris Pringle - or was it Simon Doull... at a time when the New Zealand "attack" - minus Dion Nash - was basically a defense. Then there was ONE!... that got guys done for pace: THAT one! And I got interested, and a friend from school gave me a VHS tape of the 1989-1990 World Series - and BAM!!! There was the half-portion, High-Energy psycho, risking life and limb to save New Zealand from a most assured ignoble demise at the MCG, making Craig McDermott look slower than Angus Fraser. (Or was Angus Fraser actually a touch quicker than Craig McDermott: a disgrace to pace bowling, both of them; a curse on both their houses!) Anyway: the rest were trundling, Morrison was fizzing, and a few years later Mark Waugh said that facing Danny Morrison was not entirely different from facing Allan Donald. The "hiss" of the ball had around-about the same pitch, best avoided - and look out for the "evil one" that got released just a fraction too early - 'cause that one would be the one that would crash into your middle stump almost on the full, breaking the sound barrier in the process. Said Morrison had the fastest Yorker in the business - if you can even call it that. And he mentioned the "sheer horror" of being up-ended by the "lesser nation" in such uncompromising fashion. You're about to hug your team-mate for a well-deserved victory - and all of a sudden you're BOWLED by some unnatural delivery from a shortshit: painful indeed!
I remember these days like yesterday. This was before the BCCI became the "ICC" These were quality teams playing on large fields with even surfaces. This was where the batsmen had to work hard for there runs. Great bowling and fielding always kept you in the game. None of this win the toss/win the game bat dominating ball rubbish. None of this pie chucking rubbish of today. We didn't need T20 to keep us entertained. These guys were hard tough, physically and mentally strong cricketers. Notice the quality of commentary voices behind the mic to keep you as the viewer entertained even until this very day! There was a reason why Kerry Packer was extremely selective with his commentary teams. RIP cricket, the sport I fell in love with as a kid.
The previous series 1992/93 Australia New Zealand West Indies New Zealand had black & gray kit because West Indies had Gray they should've had maroon New Zealand would've had this kit this series this season 1993/94 South Africa Australia & New Zealand .
Jones, Mark Waugh and Boon. The rest of our batting line up were duds. Surely O'Donnell should've still been chosen. Slats would've offered more as Boon's partner opening up
@@johnnyhammer I suggest you look at their overall stats for the period 1990 - 1995. Apart from Boon, Jones & M Waugh, the others all would've averaged below 30
