Just came up with couple of smoking requests....

->In late 1991, there was a tournament in Sharjah in which aaqib got hat-trick in final, Richie Richardson scored two of the best 100's I have ever seen in my life in that tournament, one won WI the game, the other one, which was a better inning BUT WI still lost the game due to the brilliance of younis. Can you find those two innings by any chance?

--> Can you upload that final over from the second game from younis, I think It went something like this, WI needed 10 or so runs, Bishop was batting with Patrick Patterson and took single first ball, Patrick took single next ball....third ball was smashed out of ground by Bishop.....then for next two balls when Bishop got dot balls......last ball....two runs to win, one to tie and Bishop was expecting something near his toes and was ready to swing/whip it anywhere on on side...but younis bowls a 95 MPH + leg cutter(ish) and knocks the off stump out of park...:-O

Smoking requests, arent they?

Here is that final over....I saw this last night and I was thinking to myself that my memory is pretty darn good to remember what happened, ball by ball in the final over...from what I watched 20 years ago

Thanks to Rob for the great upload.

I had forgotten about this track. God knows who thought it was a good idea to have a rock hard track with two grass lenghts and variable bounce for the 1995, 3rd Test in Birmingham against the might of the WI. Insanity. Humiliation and broken bones followed.

Awesome upload Rob! Spent my evening watching this. One of the most frightening wickets ever prepared.

It was interesting watching Ian Bishop bowl. How many changes of bowling action did the big man have over his career? The West Indies would have retained a level of dominance had Bishop been able to play more Test cricket during the mid to late 90's.

Glad you liked it! Classic viewing. From a golden age. How good does Hayden deal with the pitch and the bowlers, his best test innings until the Mumbai ton in 2001, yet he was out of test cricket just 3 tests after that Perth test, 3 years he had to wait again for his next chance, i guess as it turned out Elliott wasnt the batsmen the selectors though, neither was Slater- neither lasted the distance Hayden did. Always loved his batting.

I just wanted to thank robelinda for the terrific west indies video on robin smith vs west indies and prabhakar broken nose.Thank u,actually i think with ur collection u should start ur own site and consider a small scale commercial option.This collection is that good.Especially 1980 stuff.
In future if u have time do consider uploading some andy roberts and colin croft plz.There is almost nothing on them on the web.And maybe a marshall bouncer compilation.Anyways i doubt anyone has done so much for ordinary cricket fan on the net.
Salute.:notworthy
