Then rohit sharma born after this match.

The West Indies beat Sri Lanka by 8 wickets in that match. The Lankans injured some West Indies batters, but could not avoid defeat. All is well when the end is well. Congratulations to the West Indies.

Genius....end of conversation...

👉How difficult batting was back then. Unlike today. Bounce n seam movement made it hell for batsman

Tendulkar is bunny of McGrath

Its mostly the pitch more than ths bowlers

Where are such games and pitches

The Lankan of old were a formidable force. Hopefully they will someday regain their lost glory.

West Indies bowlers also share credit with bad pitches in that era

Sachin failed in this match and 2003 vs McGrath. On the big stage Sachin always failed

Love those jerseys SL and WI should return to these jerseys

It was very stupid from batsmen from the past in the 70s and 80s they don't ware helmets

They simply weren't ready for that sling arm action I believe, of course Rumesh was breathing fire but WI have played Lillie/Thommo/Imran/Akram/Waqar who were the fastest of their times.

After helmets were introduced in late 70s , they say Viv Richards was the only batsman who never wore any protection on the head but atleast he used to bat with cap/hat but Larry Gomes was the only one never wore anything on head. Gavaskar in his autobiography says that he tried to wear helmet but it made him uncomfortable. He used wear a skull cap under his sunhat..

Malinga learnt it from Rumesh ...now i could connect the dotes

cant imagine any of the so called great batsmen of today standing up to that kind of relentless west indies bodyline bowlers

Rumesh Ratnayake was the slingshot action who could make the ball rear up from good length like a king cobra! The windies got a taste of their own medicine of a strict diet of liquid pace from greenhorns like SriLanka!😅

SL exactly did what they say "if you can do, I can do..."

rumesh was as quick as lillie

pitch was not good

Nowadays, these kind of pitch is not prepared to have good competition which has help for bowlers

Sachin took lightly MR McGrath after 1999 world Cup that cost him in 2003also

when there was no instagram and no one questioned the existence of real men

Loved it immensely. West Indians were worse, wanted to kill batsmen.

Bret lee in ODIs was better

Look how beautiful these cricket jerseys are 😍. There should be a twitter campaign to request ICC to bring back these jerseys in an ICC tournament.

Thanks for uploading. A good return for the way the West Indians treated us at the 1975 World Cup. They sent two of our players to the hospital. Despite that, we replied with 274 for 4, to their 360 odd. (It was a 60 overs then). Appreciate if you can upload that.

"That is the end of Tendulkar, is it the end of India? " The power this man held during that time is just brilliant, so much so that once he was out India's chances to win were next to impossible

Cricket 07 voice ❤

That's real unplayable stuff from Macho, he was a devastating bowler, how well he set up & outsmarted Steve Waugh is a sheer cricketing delight 🏏 Not surprisingly he's known as Malcolm "Terror" Marshall ❤

So now nobody's gunna say the umpires were bought by the opposition team?? One decision goes in the favour of the Australian team and everyone loses their mind

Would have been much better without the music.

I remember the mentality, arguments of Indians at that time. After Sachin got out, some people left the TV hall. India lost 4 wickets for just 17 Runs. many friends and elders told India will be finished within 100 Runs. [Some told to save the honor they have to cross double digit] Some were saying Jadeja and Robin can make maximum 50, because they are tail enders. Once Jadeja and Robin take India more than 100 Runs, some people heard this commentary from Radio, came back and continue watching the match. Many couldn't believe Jadeja scored 50 and continuing with patience. First time I saw him without smile batting patiently seeing all his partners [Bowlers] are getting out one by one. Jadeja scored Century with Shane Warne's appreciation. I saw Jadeja handle the nerves and plays better in critical situations. Luckily it was not repeated in 2011 World Cup, but other than that I am seeing the history is repeating when India is facing Australia in Knockout Situations.

Where did all those seagulls go ???

Watchin this only for IAN BRADSHAW

@ 0:51s Michael Holding looking pretty subdued here; casually rolling the arm over.

Darrell Hair will never have an award for impartial umpiring named after him. With a non-partisan umpire India would have won this by 3 or 2 wickets. I wonder how much Hair was paid for his split-second LBW dismissals.

126 vs India in 1996 World Cup and 83 vs India in 1999 World Cup.

Surprised to see people being so much critical of tendulkar's failures against mcgrath. Mcgrath himself is all time great bowler who had habit of picking opposition's best batsman. He troubled every great batsman of his era which includes Sachin, Lara, Kallis, Inzamam, Dravid..

I read Harsha Bhogle writing about this test match for umpiring as being the worst. I mean you are playing fucking cheats in their own backyard , but I didn’t find the decisions any controversial. The LBWs looked adjacent

Tendulkar plumb twice.... Lbw. 😊😊😊

Tendulkar is McGrath's bunny❤❤

I loved the Lankan line up then. Making their test debut in 1982,they beat us in 1985,in a one day match. Respect 🙏🙏

The problem is apart those days indian players not successful against McGrath and wasim and akthar and lee and every thing changes after Ganguly took over the captaincy with the players like sehwag and yuvraj laxman arrival and it releases burden on sachin dravid Ganguly

The guy you've shown as Kapil Dev is in fact the Indian actor who essayed Dev's role in an Indian movie and not the cricketer himself !!

Kapil Dev had no limits in performance until his career end.

HORRIBLE THIRD CLASS UMPIRING .....VENGSARKAR DECISION WAS SHOCKING

Tendulkar made the same mistake in 2003worldcup neither captain tried to change batting order
