Yorks v Lancs - 1992 Sunday League - Tendulkar/Speak 

Why on Earth did we need T20? This 40 over game had a full house and a nail biting finish right to the end with some exceptional cricket throughout. We've messed with the game way too much. Give me this era anytime. On a trivia note, ironically I was talking to Dexter Fitton last week. Nice bloke.

100 from 69 deliveries those days! That was some kind of innings by the maestro.

It brings tears to my eyes when saw Sachin get run out & young boys coming to pat on his back, it was the start of Sachin tendulkar era.

Damn these English grounds were massive! Some of these shots would easily be six at Indian grounds

I used to watch Sunday league. Years and years I watched it, I doubt I saw 5 innings more than 200!

Absolute treat to watch! Would it be greedy to ask for some new games to watch! Thank you!

One day cricket has become faster as the number of overs has got fewer. That said, there are shots played here by Nick Speak that any short format batsman playing today would be proud to call their own!

I think the 100 Nick Speak scored here (reached in 76 deliveries) is the only one day ton he ever scored. Astonishing, when you consider just how easy he made batting look !

Its always delight to watch god of cricket

I was twenty two and remember a lot of the players. Sachin Tendulkar first Yorkshire overseas player. Darren Gough, the Dazzler and first male Strictly champion (born three months after me). Graeme Fowler was opening without his usual partner Gehan Mendis. What happened to the Sri Lankan? And was Jeremy Batty grandson of the legendary Nora?

Two things are noticable. Firstly, both teams were full of their star players. No 'Hundred' nonsense weakening teams and causing fixture congestion. Secondly, both teams played as if the result really meant something. They had to go for boundaries, but there were proper cricket shots and not every ball was an attempted slog for six. Now, much heavier bats, shorter boundaries and field restrictions have tilted things too far towards favouring the batsmen/batters.

Remember friends, in 1992 we did not have t20

These uploads are fantastic! So much enjoyment I've had watching them over the last couple of weeks! Thank you so much! I'm planning to start uploading some matches myself very shortly. If you had some more of these kind of matches perhaps we could exchange some?

Blimey, Nick Speak playing like Kevin Pietersen there, spanking Darren Gough all over the place. 100 off 76 balls! Never thought he had it in him.

What a fine batsman Richard Blakey was ! If Yorkshire hadn't decided to turn him in to a wicketkeeper to replace/succeed David Bairstow - to the detriment of his batting - he would likely have had a more distinguished England career than he did.

Funny to think Gough was a medium pacer in the early days

21:58 Lovely shot.

Do you have more matches that you could upload? I've been incapacitated with a broken leg for the last week and I have really appreciated watching your videos! Really helped to cheer me up! Many thanks!

Do you have more Sunday League matches? I'd never seen this match before. Would love to see some more if you have any?

Forgot how classy Nick Speak was, real elegant shot maker he was

Who is commentator at 1:44. I know one on them is Geoff, who is the other guy? Always loved his commentary

Damn Goughie used to bowl pies lol

264 off 40. For that era, thats amazing. Then Yorkshire 44-2 off 13 shows they were still as clueless.

What a match!, should never have scrapped the Sunday league. Who needs the mickey mouse and minnie mouse cricket. The 40 over competition was brilliant.

Bumble's voice had changed- sounded like he does when he impersonates Bob Willis.

HE PLAYED SUPERBLY BUT YOUR CENTURY IN VAIN TENDULKAR.....

Bumble commentating on his sons LBW I get nervous watching my son play district cricket !

No Wasim Akram

I think in this match Lancashire was missing desperately waseem akram the legend

Look at all that racism.

As usual, Sachin gets out instead of leading his team to a win...... I love him but this has happened way too many times.

Foolish Tendulkar. Could not but be casual in running. Could have been out earlier as he attempted successfully reckless shots like sweeping of to the off-side a yorker. Later in his career Tendulkar made such trademark foolish shots which cost him his wicket and his team the match on many an occasion when more circumspect shot-selecttion was the call of the hour. Neil Harvey had denounced this penchant for playing rash strokes by Tendulkar when well set and pulled up the Australian Press for lionising the Indian to the point of comparing him to Bradman. Harvey said that the Don once set was sure to score a big hundred whereas Tendulkar never quite seemed to get set and was capable of getting out at any time irrespective of how long he had been at the crease till then. Hence, according to Harvey, the comparison of the Indian ace batsman with the Don was almost blasphemous. The Don stood in unrivalled solitary splendour at the summit of batsmanship. Here we see how Tendulkar's stupidity in casual running cost his team the match and in 1998 an indiscreet shot under duress by him during the Chennai Test against Pakistan had cost India the Test match. Again against Sri Lanka in the 2007 World Cup when on 98, Tendulkar played an indiscreet paddle-sweep off Muralidaran to lose his wicket. India managed to win that day despite this irresponsible act of her ace batsman but she could have as well lost it. This has been Tendulkar's way all along, attempting impossible shots at all odd hours when greater caution was the call of the hour, and so failing to stay till the end and securing the win for the team. It has got to do with his psychology which is as important an aspect of batting as technique, defence, strokeplay etc. A batsman is a composite of body and mind and batsmanship is the integrated output of the twain. Here Bradman lies miles ahead of Tendulkar. So, Neil Harvey was right. He had hit the hammer on the head of the nail. Tendulkar's career proved the correctness of his analysis and assertion.

Story of Tendu's life, got out selfishly just before he could carry the team over the line.
