I haven't taken his consent and hope Samuel doesn't mind as my channel is not monetized. I am using about 40 seconds of a tune from Muqaddar ka Sikandar released the same year to set the mood. - Sport
42yrs ago ,listened to commentary in neighbour's house while playing rubberball cricket in his courtyard.. Mother used to call us for lunch which we reluctantly complied for fear of beating but only on completion of day's play.This was my total relaxation, happiness period for the day before immersing in studies from evening onward.We had no TV, a non-functional radio ( too poor to afford a new one). But those times are etched in my memory for the simple joys in uncomplicated times. Thanks for sharing this video for bringing back the memories.

Great were those lively days of cricket with no cheating,quality cricket of spin of chandra,Bedi and Prassana..
Prasanna’s bowling a lesson to all the off spinners . The flight, the loop and the control . Wow what a treat ...
Felt nostalgic watching these videos of the 1978 series. I grew up listening to commentary of these matches on the radio as there was no TV transmission where we were staying. It was vacation time for our schools and we would remain glued to our radio sets throughout the entire days commentary. Those days, test matches would have a day of rest after the 2nd or the 3rd day. This was a series in which all the 5 tests produced results; amazing when compared to the number of tests that end up in draws these days!! If my memory serves me right then I can say that the couple of tests that India won to square the series were by an innings!! The last test was again won by Australia! It is amazing to see these matches in color. Jeff Thomson can be seen in action at his peak!! Same about our spinners and our legendary batsmen. Ashok Mankad can be seen in action too!! Thank you very much for bringing back these wonderful memories.
Kiri's leg-side keeping off Chandra - breathtaking!!
1978 me mere age 16 year thi is match ki cometary suni thi ajj video dekha hai Thanks
Sirji kaisa lga thaa jab India ne isse pehle first time Australia ko haraya thaa vo bhi 200 se jada run se? uss time isko leke kya perception thii?
I was 15 years old. I too followed the series but not ball by ball because my matriculation examinations were there in February 1978. The three tests that India lost were close matches that could have gone India's way. India winning two tests was a big deal those days.
It is 1978. I am amazed by the quality and camera angles used in the video. Truly they were far ahead of others in technology
Channel9 of sports of Australia
It was The ABC (Channel 2) @@deepakkumarpurohit7115

I had witnessed this trio of Indian Cricket.
Thank you Sir...brings back delightful memories of Vish Pras and Chandra my fellow Bengalureans....never tire of seeing them in action....
Kirmani a regular player and who played even in 80s till 86 and of course B PATEL , of course not in the same league were also from KSCA.
Remember listening to the running commentary of this entire test series on All India Radio. I'm from Pakistan but the love of the game made me wake up early morning and hook up to radio and hear the voices of Dr.Narutam Puri in English and Murali Manoher in Hindi.
If my memory serves me right then the commentators for these matches were Ananth Setelvad and Sushil Doshi. I loved listening to them.

Those days ❤
I think India could have won more tests if they played all the 4 spinners. The reason why we needed to play 4 spinners was that our seam bowling was among the weakest of all test nations until the debut of Kapil dev. I would say that west indies, england, Pakistan and Australia all had better fast and medium pacers than India had. It's possible that even new Zealand, which was one of the weaker test nations, had a better fast bowling lineup than India, because Richard hadlee made his debut for new Zealand in the early 1970,s, whereas Kapil dev only made his debut in 1978. I'm not sure if he played in this series.
Awesome delivery of ghavri..and a falling Australian batsman used to practice with fearsome bowling of jef thomson.Those days when I can't afford a pocket radio set.
Shortest pitched bouncer ever. Maybe a quarter of the way down the pitch.
What about the batsman of the home team..Buddy?
Absolutely wonderful to see these legend bowling together. Thanks sir, you made me feel like 10 years old again. Memories back vividly of my dear ones who were then in 1978 with me. This is just not only highlight of match but much more than that. Thanks Sir, once again.
Remember this series , i was actually waiting to be called up from my under 12's game to open the bowling for Australia as the other 10,000 half good cricketers were playing World Series Cricket , Thommo did well off one shoulder but the rest of em were just substitute fielders
Sir .... Thanx for.the video and have fond memories of listening to AIR .... surprised to see Ghavri needing to bowl spin in spite of Bedi, Chandra and Pras in side ...
This was first summer of cricket I tuned into cricket regularly on the tv. Although never watched any of this as my introduction to cricket was the World Series Cricket on channel nine that summer with the West Indies, Australia and World XI teams played SuperTests and One Day Internationals all summer long. Remember David Hookes getting a broken jaw off Andy Roberts. When he recovered later in summer to play again he was wearing a helmet and that basically was the start of helmets in cricket. Did not see any of this series that must have been on channel 2 involving India and this other Australian team. Interesting to take a look at it now decades later.
Thanks... happy day's are back in memories of Sunny,vengie,kadubhai,andAshok Mankad... and all above Mumbai..!!!
Very fighting series. 3-2 in favour of Australia. I started hearing commentry from last match of this series.
Undoubtedly B S Chandrasekhar is world's fastest legspinner googly bowler till today.As fast as gentle midium pace bowler.Very effective on turning track.Who forget his Oval test of 1971?👍👍👍
क्रिकेट तो पुराने समय में खेला जाता था आजकल तो सिर्फ पैसे का खेल है । पहले खिलाड़ी होते थे आजकल स्टार होते हैं जो खेल से ज्यादा ध्यान विज्ञापनों पर और हीरोइन पर देते हैं ।
And people now like to watch big hits that anything else
Yes! I remember this!! We were all watching highlights of this match at Matunga Gymkhan after finishing our daily morning practice! Bob Simpson set an unusual field for Dilip(Vengy) &V'kar got out caught immediately! Well, that's Bobby,the wily guy! ❤️
Chandra , leg spin classic googly , he was a magician , Kiri , Prassana , Vishy , pretty much Karnatak player's made half the team .
Gavaskar, Vengsarkar, Ashok Mankad and Ghavri all 4 from Mumbai only.
We're 🇮🇳
Watching all these gems of matches fills the hearts with lot of delight. GR Vishwanath scored 222 against Australia before his retirement. If it is put availability, it vl b A great experience.
222 was against England.not Australia.
flight , dip ,,,,,,,, terrific,,,those were the days for REAL CRICKET.... I miss those Sea Gulls.... Sad........ it was common out there in Down under.
great upload!! cant wait to see more!
Was waiting for this one! Still watching it. Two things to mention. First is a Ghavari bouncer(!). Ghavari must be slowest pace(!) bowler in world, ever. Kim Hughes shaped for a hook shot, and actually FELL DOWN. Yes, not kidding. This is not because of pace, but lack of it. He shaped for a hook but the damn ball never arrived. He waited, waited, waited and eventually fell down.
Second is World's best soccer player ever to play Cricket. Of course, Bobby Simpson.
TY very much for the upload, I'm a cricket loving Englishman. :-)
Notwithstanding the mess he made of that bouncer, Hughes was a very attractive batsman , whose good footwork allowed him to play spinners on his terms.
Before the 84 year highest had an batting average of around 42. .at his retirement down to 37,he was no mug and made wissden
Simpson was in his 40's, as he was recalled because of Packer series going on at the same time. The only player from this team who would have survived to make the full team was Thommo. Even then India lost 3-2.
Never knew that Amarnath could bowl so well.
Jai Avare, absolutely love these amazing videos from that amazing series. As others have mentioned I have vivid memories of listening to these series on AIR on those chilly Delhi winter days and just trying to imagine the action on the field. Thanks to your videos I am able to connect back to those days and remember the excitement in Commentators voice when our beloved, Chandra, Prasanna , Bedi or Ghavri took a wicket. Or when our batting heroes reached a 50 or 100. Love your commentaries in each of videos as well. Sincerely request you to upload, if you can, footage from the 1983 world cup final. The only footage we have on youtube is some 40 minute long highlights. Try as hard as I can, I unable to find any other footage from that amazing match.
thank you very much for this highlights.. sir !!
a golden test series it was.
if possible please upload mcg test as well after this🙏🙏😍👍
प्रहन्ना जैसा औफ स्पीनर ना कोई हुवा ना होगा
just watch CHANDRA, contribution in two matches which India won in this series 18 wickets were only of Chandra.bravo Chandra my childhood hero.
If possible kindly load india in west indies when Gavaskar hit 700 runs
Jai 4th day's play was gripping. Cosier batted well. A remarkable innings by an injured Toohey. Prasanna was the pick of the Indian bowlers on the 4th day. Great video!
Jai sir once again very thanks, you fulfill our years dream,sir we are waiting more vedios of this series
What a series!
nostalgic to see our childhood cricket legends,grt Chandra,Bedi,Prasanna bowling so well to fox the Aussies
I have noticed that everytime Prasanna took a wicket, he ran towards Bedi who patted him and hugged him!
Jai जी very thanks for uploading this series matches vedios please don't delete it & waiting more vedios of perth & Adelaide tests
I still cherish Indian win in this test by 2runs and innings with an outstanding catch by Madanlal of Peter Tuhee which Australia TV could not capture
Last few Australian wickets in second innings is missing. Great catch by sub madan lal to dismiss toohey is also not there....please upload day 5 if available
One of the best series India had in Australia.In fact, they could have won the series.But, Aussies led by 41 year old veteran & almost a junior side of youngsters put up a fight doggedly to win the series 3-2.India lost a golden opportunity & had to to wait for41 years to win a series when Kohli'men put it across Australia 2-1 in a nail biting series in 2018-19.
I was 6 year old. ❤❤❤
Chandra seemed like he was very quick through the air. Comparable to Kumble
Sir .... thank you .... Do you have access to videos of the home series against Tony Greigs England in 1977 ....
Close Observe this Era matches...They don't wear Helmets.. Dedicated cricket world passed away..
sir this a great match
please upload the rest of it and other matches if you have it.
and if you have anything from these
1968 nz v india
1976 nz v india
1985 aus v ind

Madan lal is feilding everywhere
Jai sir please upload the MCG TEST of this series India's first test victory on Australian soil.
This is day 1 I guess..
मैं इसी सिरीज़ का मेलबर्न क्रिकेट टेस्ट का रेकार्डिंग देखा चाहता हूं।
I love .... INDIAN cricket team....🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳👍👍👍
Our commenteter were anand sitalwad in english & sushil doshi in hindi
The picture was too good. Wasn't it?
Australia played very well in this test considering this was effectively- because Packer had 2 Australian teams- a third rate team.
@Vijay Karan Lighten up. It was a 3rd string side. If Packer hadn't formed WSC, international cricket was dead, especially Test cricket. India would've been thrashed by a full Australian side, which was very strong in that era.
@Vijay Karan That's because Australian sides refused to tour the subcontinent due to poor health standards (dysentery). You can rave on all you like, makes no difference.
@Vijay Karan Move on dude. It's 2020. India aren't that great. Overates. NZ smashed you, image what Australia will do next summer....
@@krishnarajagopalan528 Well said. Flat drop in pitches, crazy sized bats, make it slightly uneven nowadays. ICC wants same conditions everywhere. Just shows how strong that era of the 70s & 80s was. Guy's like Viv Richards, Greg Chappell & Dennis Lillee would carve up in the current era. Cricket is a worldwide love we can all share.
@@graemealexander8804
What an irony, in 2021 India's 3 rd string side beat full fledged strong Australian side & won the series... 😊
This is not the complete clip. I remember Jeff Thomson being clean bowled by Ghavri with the off stump going cart wheeling. Where is that?
Please load1977 78 Perth and Adelaide test also.
Thanks Jai. Will Madan Lal's great catch to dimiss Toohey appear somewhere?
Think that footage is lost forever, Jai?
But the photo was there in all news papers.
He was substitute fielder in that match.
That was on day five .... Final wicket of the match
I watch Clip of this catch is on U tube
Day 1 is repeated after day 4 highlights. Waiting for day 5 upload!
Yes, no clear end point for day 4 nor day 5 in original. Sorry!
@@JaiGalagali No problems sir. Its a great upload anyways. Would love to see the victory moments though. Do you have more tests from this series?
Aaditya Aggarwal
Brisbane 5 days, 30 min each excellent video
Melbourne just 5 minutes of poor video
@@JaiGalagali Remember Day 5 highlights clearly even after 42 years!! India got the last 1 (2?) wicket/s early on the last day. Thommo clean bowled by Ghavri wrapped up the game. This was followed by the presentation ceremony hosted by Alan Davidson.
Can you please upload Brisbane 5 days as mentioned here. That would be awesome!
May I get same series Melbourne test.
Man Bedi has it on a string
Last Ke 2 wkts kyon nhi hain is ismein.
Sir .... Thank you .... Would you be uploading the video of the exciting final test in Adelaide ? ..... Vishy batted very well in both innings in that test .....
👍👍👍
Jai Sir , this is the vedio of day 1 play , not day 4 please upload day 4 play waiting for it
Austrailia's inform players joined Kerry Packer circus ,so board recalled Bobby Simpson who lead Aussies to win the seriies.
Sir still awaiting for my request of Pak tour Of India 1979 a cricket lover from Pakistan ( Waseem Ashraf )
I think India won 2-0,after Gavaskar famously said'Pakustan will smash us to bits"!before the series.
Yes you are right
Whenever any one of the 3 spinners took a wicket he used to run towards the other two spinners instead of running to the wicket keeper as is normally done now a days. They used to plot the game plan together and execute them in tandem. Fantastic team work..
How would DRS have assisted the Indian spinners?
13:50 out... those days aussie thug umpires were biased.
They still are
Was this the A.B.Cs last year of coverage?
Video starts with second innings of Aussies. It abruptly ends at 29:53 minutes, after 8th wicket of Aussies, Wayne Clark bowled by Prasanna for 10. From here on its first innings which ends at 131 all out.
Too much of cricket spoiled interest in cricket now a days. India improved a lot in cricket from those days. We have world class fast bowlers and batters to match teams like Australia. Our telecasting standards have improved a lot compared to those days. India has come a long way since those days and has become a power house in cricket. No wonder some players who refused to play in India(Lille and Thomo, Richard Hadlee) due to poor conditions in India ) on one pretext or other. Now everybody wants to play in India and scared to skip the trips as losing contracts in IPL, is main cause of concern for them.
With due respect to chandra but he looks really wayward
Generally we can't called these three best spinner in the world,how many matches wins for our country,all best player played well against these,in those days not much televised, other wise these bowlers ranks will exposed.
They didnt win, because India didnt evolve as a team. IT took another 23 years for India to evolve as a touring side. All three have better stats than Harbhajan. And Harbhajan too didnt win any match for India outside Asia. Even Kumble as well. So Arguement is pointless
Horrible editing!Day 4 upto 30 minutes and then day 1! However thanks for uploading.The magical spin trio were just superb.We won that match for them.India lost that series 2-3.Gavaskar scored 3 centuries and Viswanath 1 century.Karsan Ghavri made his debut in that series.
Kaushik Mukherjee,the information given by you is incorrect, Vishwanath didn't score any century in 1977-78 series,his highest score in the series was 89,Karsan Ghavri made his debut versus West Indies in 1974-75 series
@@nipponjain5899 Your information is half correct.Ghavri might have been made his debut against WI.But I am 100% sure about Vishi's century in Melbourne.Please check it again.
Kaushik Mukherjee,dear friend,GRV made 114 at Melbourne in 1980-81 series,you can go through the details at Google,India 237 and 319, Australia 414 and 83
We have been slaves for last 800 years because of this kind of mentality.And we would be slaves.
With the exception of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj,who unfortunately got short life,& Ranjeet Singhji,give me single example when we have fought against foreign invaders?
Jim Burke a solid commentator - sad end
Yes,I believe the story is he thought he was ill,and commit suicide
But this victory against a second class team was not noteworthy. Simpson was called back at 43 and he proved a tougher nut to crack. Except Thomson none of them had any test experience before. Our team was studded with our best players. The over rated spin quartet, the best batsmen - Viswanath and Gavaskar - two all-rounders - Amarnath and Madanlal - and batsmen like Vengsarkar and Chauhan who had considerable test experience by then. Yet Simpson beat us squarely.
Agreed.
But Australian team is never to be taken lightly.. There domestic structure is so stong.. for example Tonny Mann went on to play after that .... then australian crowd , how they support their team.. For example you see today if we pick a second team from IPL also like suryakumar and all these people they will make a great team in home conditions, Uss time to jeetna hi bdi baat thii.. usse pehle India ne England main jaake bhi jeeta tha test match, 1971 onwards achi cricket khel rhi thii India team that also without much financial support and facilities from the board
