Can you imagine a bowler sending down 4 consecutive bouncers and getting away with it now? The batsmen didn't wear helmets and Lillee was quick. Quite an over!

nothing quite demonstrates our rise like the the progression from harry cave, fen cresswell and ian cromb to hadlee, bond and the current quartet.
describing some of those blokes as right arm medium is insulting to nathan astle and lord colin. chris harris could have opened the bowling in tests if he was born 50 years earlier. loved the early martin crowe stuff though, some serious batsman bowling heat (for a batsman) there.

Adding colour to this black and white clip enhances it. Note Tyson's back-foot drag. It was in an era when no-balls were judged if the bowler's back foot was over the line at the moment of release. It must have been a nightmare for umpires. No wonder they changed the law.

I've seen a couple of colourisations - not just on that channel - and I think that the colourisation algorithm is struggling a bit and exaggerating the greenness - it should appear browner.

This clip was posted on ESPN sportscenter Twitter account and lots of Americans are struggling to understand that how can someone catch with barehands

Was lead to a @robelinda video of Wasim bowling a fiery over to Healy. Happened to glance at the description and couldn't stop laughing. What a legend.

Now here's Winston Benjamin using a properly short run. Makes you wonder why he ever bothered running five times as far.

Glorious knock. The timing on some of those off side dabs is outrageous. What stands out most about the video is that the applause for his century is about as gracious as I've ever heard from an away crowd, much less the biggest rivals. And this same crowd was throwing stones onto the pitch a day later. Kolkata crowds were so strange, they did the same thing in the 96 WC sf after applauding Aravinda's fifty as if he'd been an Indian cricketer.

How much cash did Azhar get for that drop

Whatever it takes!!!
HE always did say he loved playing at the Eden. Maybe it was more than just the big ground.

I've watched it twice since you posted it. He was so amazing to watch.
On the crowd thing, I think it was around this time the Chennai match took place as well where the crowd applauded the winning Pakistan team.

Yeah but that was the #sportingChennaicrowd...
Kolkata, like OS pointed out, just swung between the extremes so much.

The ball Warne bowled Chanderpaul with at Sydney in '96 coming up reminds me of the fact that the channel that hosted the 96/97 full match highlights is long gone. Used to love watching the Windies' inept performances at points on that tour.
