What a brilliant highlights package. Lara in his prime, Thorpe, Atherton, Hick and Russell batting superbly. Mike Watkinson and Dominic Cork glittering as all-rounders (Watkinson only played a couple more Tests and Cork was never the same player after an injury a year later.) Fraser was tidy as well and there was hope for Illingworth. The Windies had Campbell, Bishop, Ambrose and Walsh firing + Kenny Benjamin looked a top prospect and Chanders was destined for greatness. Both sides had a lot of positives to take from the series.
Cork had this great summer, followed by loads of games and a good series against SA, but summer 96 his firm dipped and he lost the ability to bowl fast outswingers. I hadn't thought he was injured at that point, just out of form and overbowled. He came back after that but was never the same world-class.
Thank yu.I remember back then for the first time in my childhood our huge Zenith brand television no longer worked at the end of June 1995,so I did not follow the series much .
@vindaisatossermini Excerpt from an interview he gave- "I resigned and retired because I was suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, I was burnt out and it was a struggle to continue playing cricket. Every day was stressful, everybody wanted a piece of you and I had no time for myself. I was training harder and trying hard on the field but I couldn't do what I wanted to do. I felt like I was selling myself and my fans short. They wanted me to continue, but if I had have I would have got ill."
52:15 "Where are the (new) bowlers going to come from?" Tony Cozier with a very wise prophecy; how the WIndies would love Ambrose and Walsh to be 30 years younger...
The Edgbaston test match was an example of the state of English cricket at the time. Like it was said, why wasn’t the wicket checked a couple of days before, so the right players could be selected?? Malcolm would have been perfect for that wicket. Like it’s been said before, we used to roll out the red carpet for visiting test sides whereas when we would go overseas we would have the complete opposite. We should have made it difficult for our opponents.
@@adamw2911 they did. Very annoying at times. In a way this was still a great time for test cricket. 5 match series against one team every summer and the same overseas in the winter. Not a 2 match series then a 3 match series against different opponents.
@robelinda To me richardson should not have come back. Far too often we forget that these players are also human and have mental and emotional weaknesses too. The highest level of any sport is demanding enough and can reduce the best of the lot look ordinary. That's why its considered a great leveler. It is best to remember richardson before 1992 as one of the best attacking batsman in the world especially his falling hook shot instead of looking at his decline after his son's demise.
Why did Richie Richardson seem so timid when batting in 1995 compared to 1991? I don't understand. I remember thinking about it at the time. Also he had started wearing a helmet in 1995 instead of his famous purple hat.
The weather was scorching this summer it made the pitches flat and slow for the last couple of games, great series West Indies just starting to slide a bit, Lara was on fire and probably peak Atherton
great series was dis...dis kinda uploads had made rob realy hero for cricket lovers...nowadays u seem too busy to upload quality stuff like dis....rob detailed highlights of 74 and 84 summers were jus awsome,,hope to see such a quality stuff again on ur channel...
Arthurton (c) Stewart(wk) Hussain Smith Hick Thorpe Ramprakash Cork/Lewis Gough Fraser Kaddick/Malcom This should have been 90s team with Brearley as Manager.
@vindaisatossermini I could be wrong about all of that though, i'll confirm. He was a different player in 1995 though, but he did score a magnificent 69 on a piece of shit pitch in that 1995 series, at Edgbaston, the 3 day test, to his credit he battled it out for 4 hours where hardly any other batsman could stay in at all.
@vindaisatossermini Im sure it was embarrassing for his island!!!! Hope you enjoy the 1994, 1998 and 1995 West Indies vs England reviews i uploaded today. The 2000 series is coming soon too.
@vindaisatossermini Started wearing it in 1994 after he came back from his lay off, I guess he wasnt the same player after the chronic fatigue. Didnt his son die in a car crash too, which compounded the fatigue syndrome. He missed the 1994 series vs England as a result.
@stanley8125 Yeah, it's cool, isn't it? I'd much rather prefer 5 and 6 test series to really test all aspects of a cricketer - mainly fitness. Scrap the T20 nonesense, reduce the number of ODIs and I say, bring back five test rubbers!
all the best fast bowlers makes no impact why the batters were low class , names were unknown and never made playing for long 3 yts new names were there, after lloyd and viv the team were w/o a leader had the bowlers but no use, pity taking out wickets bowlers never got be in the winning team and test, till now the wi never have come close to the era before the ninties, partly financial gain is the downfall of team, benefits for the individual, a team game is cricket were not instill into the new players, sad for wi
