Correction -Viv Richards - 51 ball Half Century( I have said a century) I apologize for the Mistake & Thanks for bringing it to my notice guys😊 that's the short version - & now for the tirade What in god's green earth is going on. I see a damn half written there I myself wrote it but then my brain suddenly goes - Nope -Nothing to see there (those are not the Droids you are looking for) & then I couldn't pick it up in 3 damn reviews? 3???? I mean how does a century in a 216 runs blowout....doesn't raise an Alarm? or even a raised eyebrow? It's like I suddenly went blind for the Word Half ( Is there a disease like this- which selectively deletes certain words from your vision? Worth checking out) Either ways - that was the Bull shit from My brain pulled Thankfully I didn't have to tell a glass half full joke this week.... Imagine how confusing that could have been....
Hello Cricket Raaz can you please make a video on why many south African Cricket and especially ABD left cricket. I know there is a lot more inside story and politics
10:01 F***! That literally gave me goosebumps, seeing him just standing there with his hands folded as a warning to the runner. Too bad he never won a World Cup.
Mankading is within the spirits of the game. If only an Englishman or Australian had done it and not an Indian, it would have been called a smart move, named after that cricketer, and would have been covered by the media in a positive light. We too would have seen it that way. Consider this, a run out after an unfortunate collision or due to slipping or injury is still not unsportsmanlike. But, countering an unfair play by the batting side, within the rules of the game is. He is a great man. But, Mankading isn't wrong.
Exactly man. The non striker has to run 2-3 yards less because of the head start he gets before the ball is delivered, which is unfair. To counter this, Mankading is the perfect solution. It's just that our Colonial mindset refused to accept that this was done by an Indian and not by Australian or English player. Even in football, while the penalties are on, the goalkeeper isn't allowed to move forward to reduce the area of coverage. The penalty in that case is retaken and if the goalkeeper repeatedly commits this offence, he is given a yellow/red card.
you have to score runs in order to win. runs can made only once a ball is played. so starting your run before ball is being bowled is unsportsman like and must be shamed. Mankading is just another way of getting runout.
Bullshit the game must be played within the law you break a rule you're ought to be punished..., Though I'll always appreciate Walsh ❤️ but it was not needed!
wow this is amazing! I am a Canadian who just started getting into cricket over the past couple of months and I am trying to learn some of the history. This video is fantastic, thank you!
That's one of the best and most touching incidents in cricket history, and I've never heard it before. In itself, Walsh's action was a great moment in sportsmanship, but when put into context it shines even more. Thanks so much! [I'm Australian btw]
I don't understand why is it against sportsmanship spirit when the bowlers use mankanding. It's batsman who is mis using and running before ball being bowled and he is at fault, if provisions allowed bowlers to restrict such wrong actions by batsman, he shall use that. How does this become anti-sportsmanship
And the same batsman when tries to switch-hit and gets into opposite stance even before the ball is bowled is deemed as legendary and "innovative". About time to stop rigging the game heavily in favour of the batsmen.
The one thing which I really love about you and your channel is that you bring out unconventional cricketing stories to the world. Stories which not many people are aware of, stories which actually depict the character , the determination and the grit of our beloved cricketers! 😊😊 Thank you for such wonderful stories 💯💯☺️☺️👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I was very young and didn't understand what that was but now when I reflect back I can see why he was one of the greatest player to represent west Indies. Salute sir walsh
This ' sportsmanship' is perfectly laudable than what we see players do nowadays -just to win!! It was a different era of cricket where playing the game was important,'poor players' of today have to live by stats!!!
The point is the man played the game the way in which he thought was the right way.. and doing that verge of defeat takes courage.. and that’s why Walsh is a great gentleman
@UCuZoI9xvSQro6ODtwKWizmw We all have read history of cricket in our school and their is clear difference created for batsman and bowler, Where batsman were inherently gentleman but bowlers have to prove themselves.
Not a fan of cricket, but still end up watching your videos for such gripping and crisp narration! Commenting for the first time, but a fan since years :)
Andbhe was a hero. Thanks for sharing this. I already knew him as a player who played the game in the right spirit, but didnt know this. Imagine the pressure when you have Viv Richards as your captain and you do this as a kid.
Champion are not defined by success or failures, they are defined by how they react in pressure situations. No wonder he become one of the greatest fast bowler ever played the game of cricket!
Some of what you said is bullshit Champions are mostly defined by success, that pussy generation which was mostly controlled by white people wants people to play pretty soft cricket. His (Walsh) speed made him one of the greatest.
Cricketing World just had made a Mockery of this Mankading Rule by describing it as against the Sportsmanship. Other than just insulting the Great Indian Legend Vinoo Mankad everytime sm1 used this to run out sm1, this Stupid rule didn't achieve anything throughout & just created more confusion & hatredness & unnecessary rubbish debates. If it was against the spirit of game, y d fu*k it was allowed as per Rules? Just to insult that legend Mr. mankad's name? When an Australian bowled an underarm ball vs Newzealand on a last ball & NZ couldnt play that stupid delivery, after that match rules were changed to say that underarm Bowling is illegal. Why d hell they did not do that Immdly to this thing, when this non strike run out was done for the 1st time. They made it legal, called it Mankading and then called it as against spirit of game. What a fu**ing joke it was.
Because grey areas are fun. But stop being so triggered to begin with. Firstly, it is actually is unsportsmanlike to mankade a runner without warning. If you don't get how or why, you have never really understood the spirit of cricket, you have just watched matches and scores. To attack someone without warning, someone who is not even expecting to be bowled to, is like stabbing someone from behind. A sneak attack. Its ungentlemanly. A batter on strike is expecting to receive a good delivery intended to get him out. A batter taking a run after a delivery knows that the fielding team must stop him and get him run out. But mankading without warning is a sneak attack. And cricket doesn't work that way. Other sports might, but not cricket. Cricket is rooted as a gentlemen game, a game played with honour, and trick play is not welcomed with open arms. This is why mankading is against the spirit of cricket. At the same time, banning mankading would be giving runners a free lunch. Everybody could start running even before the ball is bowled. So both openly accepting and Banning it would kill cricket. So the best thing it can be, is controversial. It must always live in the grey area where right or wrong depends on the specific case. When Ashwin did it, it was unsportsmanlike. When Kapil Dev did it, it was necessary and proper. And your complaint is that people debate over it? So what? Its good that there's debate amd discussion. These sort of things keep the sport and its spirit alive. If we can see Yuvraj Singh's 6 sixes again and again, we can surely discuss and debate mankading when it happens.
@@daakudaddy5453 Dude. The non striker clearly knows that he can be run out by the bowler in this fashion. Why on earth he wants a warning when rule is clear. So when the striker batsman comes down the pitch & Wicket keeper stumps him out, u want wicket keeper also to warn the batsman first? Bcz he is doing it from behind na, Striker can't even see what wicket keeper is upto, is that also Backstabbing? Just like wicket keeper can stump out or run out a batsman if he is out of d crease, Bowler also can run out before delivery. If this is rules then the non striker knows about this. So why he wants warning for a know Rule? When the batsman is batting one handed, and then he changes his stance and plays a Reverse Switch hit by changing his grip, u want d batsman to warn the bowler first? Otherwise it's backstabbing? Bcz the Bowler thought batsman is right handed and bowled accordingly, but Batsman backstabbed the bowler now? My simple question is that Rule is something which every player knows. For a known Rule why should someone be a warned first by opposition player ? If Cricketing council wants the Bowler to warn the batsman desparately, why don't they make that also a rule that for Mankading run out, bowler should have given a warning in that over. If he does it without warning, it's not out. What has sportsmanship got to do with it. Did Bowler hit the batsman? Or abused him? He just ran him out as per the Legal Rules, which both r aware. Just bcz the non striker is not expecting the Bowler to do it, he can't expect a warning. How can it be called backstabbing, it's his fault that he has left the crease before ball is delivered. For his fault, why he wants a warning. Non Striker better read the rule book and come instead of crying abt sportsmanship. Rule book doesn't talk about warning. If u want to talk abt Sportsmanship, then talk about the instance where batter is running a run and gets a hamstring injury or bad cramp and falls unfortunately, Bowler decided not to run him out - Ya that's sportsmanship bcz some unfortunate thing hpnd with batter, u can't take advantage of that situation even though Rule doesn't prevent bowler from running him out even in that case. Thats different.. That's true gentleman sportsmanship. Running out a helpless batter in that situation is against Sportsmanship. Or Talk abt a situation where the ball hit by Batter hits d non strikers bat and goes in some.other direction where there r no fielders, so batsman decides not to take the run - that's called sportsmanship. Players keep abusing each other, why don't people talk abt sportsmanship then. Cricket has to be played like a gentlemens game then y get into fight with each other on the field. When the Bowler and wicket keeper or even close in fielder sledge the batsman in Tests with some.personal comments on even their families etc on the batsman in the name of 'Sledging', y nobody calls it as against Sportsmanship. Nobody talks abt all these, Bcz the Great Aussies think that Sledging is fun and part of the game, so while world should accept that? And if a player follows the rule by catching the fault of the non strike then it's bad? Did the non strike slip & got out of the crease by mistake? Then if bowler runs him out, I accept it's against Sportsmanship. Was the batsman in a helpless situation unintentionally? Then yes. But non striker clearly knowingly is going out of the crease bcz he wants to get some advantage for stealing a run. What's wrong in running out that batsman who is committing a fault, when Rule also allows u to do it? Why the Non striker wants a Warning for his own Fault?
@@daakudaddy5453 Abey daaku are batsmen given warning by wicket keeper before stumping? nahi na? so why do you need to give warning before running someone out? The rule is crystal clear. Only ones whining are the white folks ( Eng, Aus, NZ) who are just salty that they didn't "invent" a rule of the game they think they have complete ownership over.
@@daakudaddy5453 Saleem Jafar cheated in this match by everytime getting out of the crease even before the ball was bowled. If a bowler gives warning, all the runs he took before in that match by getting out of crease before the delivery is bowled should be declared as half runs. This is ridiculous, why you expect bowler to give warnings to batters .. are the batters dumb or oversmart? I'd have ran Saleem Jafar out and slapped him too for cheating.
How can you even say it's *Rules vs Spirit* when someone who's within the laws and running a batter out *VS* someone who's taking undue advantage??? I believe one taking undue advantage is *BOTH* against the rules and the spirit!!!
Who is here after the controversial ‘TimeOut’ of Angelo Mathews today by Shakib in the WC23 qualifier? It was first dismissal of this kind ever in 146 years of international cricket! It looked absolutely cowardly and unsportsmanlike initially , but Shakib told he was in a war and he was within the rules to appeal. What Walsh did 36 years ago is the best sportsmanship ever in Cricket, but at the same time if you are at war, and well within the rules of engagement, he should have just run him out ( Mankaded) . But this is how history are made !
This is the sportsmanship that will make Walsh and West Indies immortal in the souls of millions of cricket fans... Many won't but real cricket fans will..
Thank you for bringing out the best elements which are off late not discussed. Your research on every topic is amazing. Wishing this becomes one of the best pages for revisiting memorable cricket incidente
Sir I was there at Lahore Gaddafi stadium watching this match the crowd went crazy when Abdul Qadir scored the winning runs it was the first match I was watching in a stadium and it was the day I fell in love with cricket I was only 8 at that time at one time Pakistani fans had lost hope. Thank you for this video
I always loved the way the Westindians played their cricket, but most importantly they were real gentleman, they let their talent do the work not their mouths, great team, great players
Difference between two world champion side.. Australia - They will show bad side to win any match. No gentleman game. West Indies - All ways played as Gentleman. Legends with big hearts.
At that moment... Pak n W.I came so much closer as Pakistani we take w.i as our own team ... Walsh & sir Viv got so much respect n love in here now . Sir Viv is a life time face of Quetta Gladiators and seemi is coach of Peshawar Zalmi form beginning of PSL n whole pak team released for CPL
Viv was actually quiet off the pitch, if unprovoked. He was a an undemonstrative man in his spare time, minding his own business. Somerset team mate and England all rounder, Ian Botham, said that after a match he would often remain and sit in the dressing room on his own reflecting upon things, long after his colleagues had left. Greg Thomas once tried sledging him at Glamorgan; after a series of deliveries where he had kept missing the edge of his bat he said, “Viv, it’s red, it’s round and it weighs about five ounces.” The very next delivery, Vib hit him straight out of the ground and into the River Taff. He then turned to the fast bowler and said, “Greg, you know what it looks like. Go and fetch it.” He always met a challenge head on and he didn’t like big mouths and bullies, he just chewed them up.
People here saying Ashwin should learn from Walsh...No The batsmen should learn that they shouldn't leave the crease before and take undue advantage. Ashwin was right in his approach when there is a chance of run out you just do it you don't warn the batsmen. If a bowler bowls a no ball the batsmen gets the advantage for 2 deliveries then even this rule must be changed and the bowler must be warned first and then next time should be given a no ball as it is same like batsmen leaving his crease.
West Indies playing in the Commonwealth games as "Barbados" in the same group as India, Pakistan and Australia. Go the Maroons and Go the 💙. I support India and Team Barbados for gold and silver 🥈 medal. Wish there was a men's tournament too like '98 CWG but go the girls.
I was watching the match.,now came know about that it was Walsh. To me afterwards he was a great bowler of great discipline and economy.,like McGrath.,
@7:43 Batsman was clearly runout. Watch the video at 0.25x How fixing was so easy at that time. Umpires obviously fixed. Even more surprising, none of the players objected or appealed loudly.
WTF you are showing mankading as a murder lol😂. I don't think mankading is against fair play. Like have you fucking lost it, if bowler misplaces his foot by just few centimetres it's a no ball and batsmen can start running even before ball is bowled. WTF logic is this. Explain me#
He didn't say Mankading was wrong. He just wanted to show that the man didn't compromise with his principles for a victory. Had I been in his place, I would have ran the non-striker out. And I am pretty sure even "Cricket Raaz" would do it too. He just showed that Walsh didn't have any regrets whatsoever.
It's clearly in the rule books why is it unfair. Imagine someone getting into your house for burglary and you caught him but you have to let him go because he got caught before stealing something otherwise it's against spirit of mankind
Don't you think running or stepping out of your crease as non striker before bowl is bowled is wrong. If bowler while bowling crosses the line even by some cm Even mm is given no ball and still the rule of No ball is considered fair . Here the bowler makes a mistake and pays the price the same way don't you think the non striker batsman for leaving the crease before bowl is bowled should get the punishment of getting out there . Because if you leave crease even before bowl is bowled it given you an advantage against the rule . There is nothing wrong in mankading. If it is wrong why is it legal
Totally Agreed don't know why so many people consider it against the spirit of sportsmanship. Just imagine being a batsman you run half the way on crease even before the bowlers bowls the ball and you will not be punished with your wicket even though it's in the rules but it's against the spirit of cricket.
Batsmen should also show their sportsmanship by voluntarily leaving the crease after getting out in a no ball. They shamelessly continues to play, even scores boundary in free hit delivery! They should leave the ball or block it.
Wrong decision...Keemo Paul ran out non striker Zimbabwe batsman in under-19 world cup...it was last wicket and WI was losing that match which would result in them getting knocked out! But Keemo Paul ran out non-striker...WI advanced to knock out stage and eventually won under 19 world cup
How can you even say it's *Rules vs Spirit* when someone who's within the laws and running a batter out *VS* someone who's taking undue advantage??? I believe one taking undue advantage is *BOTH* against the rules and the spirit!!!
It's clearly in the rule books why is it unfair. Imagine someone getting into your house for burglary and you caught him but you have to let him go because he got caught before stealing something otherwise it's against spirit of mankind.
@@kazuma2060 some people think that it is against the spirit of the game,but it’s the batsman’s responsibility not to step outside the crease before the bowl is bowled
Mankading is within the rules of the game but during those days cricket was very emotional and a personal sport.. which was ruled by westendies from 70's to 80's but after the fall of 1983 it was not the same team... And since then they could never replicate the same amount of success in 50 over and test cricket
My God!! You are mind blowing! You have generated so much interest for cricket stories in me and you tell such compelling life lessons through such stories. Please continue the good work. You are unique!
Those who plays cricket knows it's a gentlemen game with a few gentlemen left in it.. these are extremely rare and good decisions...like Walsh made...like gilchrist made to walk when a de silva was bowling..those are the tough but great decisions of great men...that can be role models as well.poor decisions like langer not walking against wasim when he was clear out...like Warner hitting an out of hand ball from hafeez always indicates cheaters that's why he eas caught cheating and cheater is how he will remain known for....its simple as that
I guess the whole confusion of these kinds of run-outs , happened because a batsman can choose to take a stance out of the crease & only be declared stumped out if he doesn't go back inside the crease after the wicketkeeper collects the ball behind the stumps & dislodges the bails. So , technically for a delivery to be completed the ball had to cross the facing batsmen stumps to be counted. Until that moment the batsman can be out of the crease & as the delivery wasn't bowled completely ,it could not be counted & therefore the runout couldn't be given.
Winning the world cup is not a single man's job...be it any sport...but some kids don't understand and critisize great players who never won a world cup...
literally cried watching this cuz im playing a tri series now and i had the chance to bowl 2 overs and i gave only 3 runs which were only extras yet all i could think of were the 3 runs for my academy i got a lot of praise from my seniors who played in u 16 and u 19 tournaments they also played in thane premier league i was happy they thought so i also wanted a few wickets so the courtney walsh story in the video is relatable as fuck
Had the experience of watching this game when I was a kid Ran from school to watch the match At that time dint understood but understood what had happened on the last ball after papers praised the sportsmanship of Walsh My perspective changed on westindies team after the match a true sportsmanship team
Batsmen should also show their sportsmanship by voluntarily leaving the crease after getting out in a no ball. They shamelessly continues to play, even score boundary in free hit delivery! They should leave the ball or block it. I really can't see any difference between that so called 'sportsmanship' and stupidity. This game treats bowlers as second-class citizens and they themselves can't understand it.
