Walsh showed the true spirit of the game. He didn't run out Abdul qadir. But legally He has every right to run him out. That's call true sportsmanship.
If someone else would have been there, they would have mankaded. Even though West Indies lost after that, he got the Tru Sportmanship Award In That World Cup!!!!!
Very heart wrenching last over Still Courtney Walsh shows his exemplary sportsmanship in the last ball Brought tears to my eyes when i was watching that game live
This match west indies would have woned v easily , they left it for Pakistan, ofFcource credits to Qadir for his amazing innings . Walsh the gentle man to the core. hatts of him .
Courtney Walsh won cherry blossom sportspersonship ( gender neutral in 2022) award for his gesture. Any match fixing or jahli tabhleeghi PaKUSSTaani cricketerr would never do this. hell fire of abdul qadir.
pakistan have won the match but it is walsh who won the hearts. Nonetheless, current Pakistani team (with all the money and facilities) looks like B team when compared to this Pakistani team.
I still remember how inzamam ul haq was in slip and took the ball from ground and claimed aravinda de-silva out.. I think it was 96 world cup or somewhere around that period. As a kid at that time, I could judge it was clearly not out but apparently he was given out.
If you watch until the end the bloke in the studio explains what happened there. Walsh broke the wicket with his foot before the ball. Have to admit I completely missed that watching it the first time and like you thought it was out
Greenidge, Marshall and Tony Gray should have played. Greenidge. Haynes. Richardson. Richards. Hooper. Logie. Dujon. Harper. Marshall. Tony Gray. Patterson. Simmons and Walsh, in the 13 man squad, too.
Actually the non striker would not be out of the the crease had Walsh continued his action. He didn't take a step b4 release. He only anticipated the release and start running. So fare enough I would say.
Unintelligent bowling by Walsh . Not able to choke the No :11 batsman and careless fielding by windies. Unforced overthrow error allowed Qadir to get back to strike and that was huge mistake.
In late 1980s the camera work and video quality is worst than 1880s. Not sure why. Only channel 9 in Australia would broadcast high definition great video quality and beautiful camera angles.
