Brilliant upload thank you 👌🏽 3 things - 1) One of the best ODI series ever played. We got hammered in the first 2, came back in the next 2 and took the 3rd at Eden Park (for memory) to the wire but unfortunately lost. 2) That six from big Merv ended up in the foodtown carpark over the road! We all went looking for the ball! 3) RIP Crowe, Jones and Warne 😔
Glad you liked it. Love hearing stories like that - everyone looking for the ball in Foodtown LOL! Brilliant memories. But yep Awesome game and series. I have game 5 somewhere, I will dig it out and upload it soon. Larsen and Pringle nearly got it done at the end.
Classy knock from Mark Waugh... Then only batsman that could compete with him for style was the late, great Martin Crowe... Great game! Jeff Wilson decided to concentrate on playing rugby for the All Blacks after this series then after 60 tests for the AB's he retired from rugby at 28 to pursue his cricket career where he played against Australia again in cricket in a T20I and a ODI against Australia in 2005... Talented sportsman!
This was the era of bits and pieces after the awesome 80's sides, but you cant take it away from them as a unit, the only World class player was Hogan Crowe, but everyone else contributed and some played above and beyond, Andrew Jones was written off by the Aussies, notably Bill Lawry he continuously bagged his batting, until one day in Perth and Jones had a massive 100, shut those clown commentators clean up.
I was at this game and afterwards drove up to Auckland in the Mk 4 Cortina to see Paul McCartney in concert. Paul congratulated us on winning the game.
This just shows how great Hogan was. Putting the likes of Tim May, Big Merv and Paul Reiffel (who was a very, very good bowler) to the sword and all on one leg.
I was at this match as a 10 year old I remember leaning over the fence to get Tim Mays autograph and the whole fence going over and spilling onto the ground
Wish Wilson would went back to cricket lot earlier then he did given more time we would seen the best of him he could have even played test cricket he was good enough
@@keithlexman7846 I don't. But the NZ team was so awful in those particular years. Losing at home to Zimbabwe - though a very good Zimbabwe side, is still too depressing to speak of lol.
A great era of cricket ... loved the Waugh bros and Dean Jones was my fav but watching Crowe in the 92 World Cup is what got me into cricket as a kid. Great days at the basin reserve then ... even though NZ was a bit rubbish during these times. I do think NZ is about to enter another era of being rather crap after being so good for the last few years ...
New Zealand in 1993/94 season had full gray kit with the Lightning bolts New Zealand should have won World Cup 2015 & 2023 South Africa it really schucks that Aiustralia won 2015 & 2023 World Cups I really hope 2027 2031 2035 & 2039 they will not win it T20 World Cups & Champions Trophy .
