Cricket : Essex v Surrey - Benson & Hedges Cup Final highlights 1979 (East Saxon Cricket Heritage) 

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.

Hugh Wilson was the great fast bowling hope of English cricket once upon a time. England selectors took Dilley to Australia, when Richie Benaud said why not take them both.

Great batting from Gooch, though to my eyes it looks strange seeing him in a blue helmet and playing with a Fearnley bat, as opposed to a white helmet and a Surridge Turbo.

I was there....sitting at the nursery end behind the bowlers arm...great day for Essex.

The old Lord's Grandstand looks massive.

I am old enough to remember when Hugh Wilson was England's next great fast bowling hope. This wasn't a moment that lasted very long.

Great players on both sides

I was there. Very good game.

A fine channel, great memories- do you have any footage at all of Leics' Brian Davison batting btw?

That cough at the start is choice. Peter West himself?

Can you post Frank hayes's century for england

Boycott in the com box and he was still playing in those days.

100 off 25 is a "run riot" back in 1979😂😂😂😂

21:30: OK own up? Who brought their cat to the cricket match? 🐱

Surrey missed Sylvester Clarke big time Pocock bowled utter shite that day
