Great stuff. Some nice moments there but for me, that catch by Gower was special. What a fielder he was. People often say he was a lazy cricketer who was only interested when he got a bat in international cricket, but you've got to be 100% on your concentration to take a catch like that - and he did it many times throughout his career.
One of those rare one day matches that you remember more than 30 years later. Proof that you don't need lots of slogging and sixes for a match to be entertaining. Some proper cricket strokes, players in whites, a proper boundary rope . . . shit, I am sounding old!
@distantvoices Totally agree. Poor management and the old boys club selection policy. Also, some England players were simply too 'nice' and did not respond well when the opposition started to sledge or up the ante.
I was at this game it was my very first England cricket match I had seen. I was lucky enough to be in a corporate box also for the first time in my life. I was so excited when the winning run was hit I jumped up for joy punched the air and managed to remove several panels from the suspended ceiling much to the amusement of most, the disdain of a few and the embarrassment of myself!
Thanks for the great upload. This was the first England match I watched properly on TV, at the age of 9, and it was seared into my memory. Magical stuff - loads of ducks and run-outs (Richie shouting "HAVE TO BE QUICK!" every few seconds), scintillating hitting from DeFreitas, and Fozzy snicking the winning runs in his crash helmet! :)
This was a match between the two best one day teams of its time. England was on a high in the one day game after the triumph in Australia and then in Sharjah. Pakistan was at its prime as a one day team after the triumph in India.
Javaid used to be the only one to take the burden of whole batting line up . Once Javaid our whole batting used fall like dry leaves. Same thing happened in World Cup 1992 semifinal no one was able to stand the pressure and Javaid Mindad stood like Mount Everest only Inzamam played good because he had no pressure because Javaid was playing with him . This was the common practice until the retirement of great Javaid Mindad.
Great first over from Greg. I was in the car on the way to BP Llandarcy listening to BBC LW. Trouble was the faster Greg bowled the further it went. Great whilst it lasted though. Top fella Greg.
I remember the article in The Hindu newspaper ,Madras. One Pakistani origin fan's life was saved by a British policewoman .She stopped bleeding from his slit throat due to a flying shard of glass ...Violent fans..
@@NishitShukla I’m a cricket fan. I’m not English or Australian. I think that that reverse sweep is a part of cricketing history and quite possibly the start of Australian cricket dominance for more than two decades.
Greg Thomas…properly quick bowler who was a good enough bat to make two FC hundreds. There were far worse England cricketers in that era who played more internationals than he did.
Thad tuiol Funny, I used to think the same when far right white nationalists used football grounds as recruiting stations. Lo and behold, it's still happening. I guess that's just the despicable nature of human beings for you.
Agree with this. I went to the 5th Test at the Oval in 1987. Even as a 14 year old I could see something had gone badly wrong with project integration. Was no surprise that the BBC and media even back then was siding with the Pakistan supporters even though they were openly shouting racist abuse at whites and the Police. It actually kicked off at the game depicted in the youtube video above. An England fan was bottled although they tried to keep it quiet. Imagine had it been the other way round?
always remember that six by imran, camera on the top of that crane following it till it was perpendicular and the ball was still going up. and yes, there was genuine violence at that game.
@@ibbysvloggs1018there were racist chants and fights all during the day not at the end of the match. After this match the MCC decided that they needed to employ extra stewards , I was one of them and watched most of the tests as a steward
what a fantastic match..equal fight between bat and ball.. Phil defretas you beauty -played innings of his life to nail Pakistan .. 20:02 Stuart broad's father Chris broad
Batting skills were better or bowling was better in yester years??? Batsmen had to think twice before playing a stroke... How Sunil Gawasker managed to score runs?
The greatest match I ever saw live - so pleased to be there except I got to my seat for the 5th ball of the match and so missed 2wickets! Love the unlikely heroes. Englands top order took time to get their eye in so left Emburey, Foster and de Freitas with extra pressure. What a thriller. Englands weakest bowling attack of all time?....Fraser was better than these guys
I'd forgotten about Greg Thomas - like Foster, his career curtailed by injuries. Foster was a very skillful bowler, but yes not the bowling attack to have the opposition too concerned! Great opening spell by Thomas though.
Bless...the final stages of the old Wurlde of cricket. Plummy commentators sounding more like senior military Officers from the 1950s. Only one camera available. A maths teacher opening England's bowling. Fielders giving up on chasing the ball. 55 overs yet just over 200 runs. The crowd running on at the end and players struggling to get past them.
1987 ka world cup mein sabse jyada majbut team Pakistan tha magar Pakistan team mein ek bahut bada daag tha vah daag Mansoor akhtar tha vah Pakistan team ke liye panoti sabit hua
A lot of Stupid lazy shots by the 87' team no composure. Still Gatting helped pick them. My bile + hate is still there for Athey who f'd up our chance in the test series. He alway was the JONAH !
A purely stupid Batting effort and well supported pathetic fielding effort in the end cost the match....!!! Bowling was quite good except second last over of wasim akram.

I remember this match as a kid. I may even have taped the highlights because I was surprised by how much I remembered. Great knock from Daffy.

This was 3 years after this before I became interested in cricket, so it's nice to see what it was like in the years before 1990.

what a game thanks for posting this, God I miss Richie benaud 😔
Yep fantastic commentary from the legendary man , and sadly, sadly missed 👍
one of the best matches ever - so many twists and turns
Pakistan had their chances but alas
at least they won the test series
What great atmosphere those were the golden days of cricket.then ipl and indian cricket board destroyed cricket
And your PSL is rebuilding it.
28:50 Quite a compliment from Ritchie to England and Pakistan!
This was a match between the two best one day teams of its time. England was on a high in the one day game after the triumph in Australia and then in Sharjah. Pakistan was at its prime as a one day team after the triumph in India.
Loved that match. Daffy won it for us.
Completely forgot how great this match was.

My favourite player was David Gower.I loved his style
What a game was 9 year old watching it at time
Oh what a match. The good old days of limited overs
Great first over from Greg. I was in the car on the way to BP Llandarcy listening to BBC LW. Trouble was the faster Greg bowled the further it went. Great whilst it lasted though. Top fella Greg.
When 1 day matches outside the world cup actually meant something
Brilliant match...excellent cricket from both sides!!!

Yes deserve to be a close game

One of the most dramatic collapse in ODI history by Pak.
Beutiful cricket lovers ...
Forever . Cricket is gentleman game ..
Interesting to see Mike Gatting play the reverse sweep quite effectively. A few months after that he didn’t play it so well in the World Cup final.
You guys are not going to forgive him for that, are you? Gatting out to Border.
@@NishitShukla I’m a cricket fan. I’m not English or Australian. I think that that reverse sweep is a part of cricketing history and quite possibly the start of Australian cricket dominance for more than two decades.
@@blairleighton5920 Well, Australia got some good players and became the best, that reverse sweep had no contribution in Australia becoming good.
Remember this match. That was an amazing collapse by Pakistan
I didn't think Mike getting could ever move so fast for that run out.
wow what a match!!!
I remembered this series just like back of my hand. It was month of Ramadan. Good old days.
Great to see a spinner with a proper action like Emburey rather than modern chuckers....
Greg Thomas…properly quick bowler who was a good enough bat to make two FC hundreds. There were far worse England cricketers in that era who played more internationals than he did.
Beefy botham icon of our gen..Gower most stylish bat ever... And later tat year.. gatting s crazy reverse sweep in final in wc costing England cup..
Jack Bannister, when the England captain came in to bat; "Mike Gatting has a lot on his plate". Lol!
Incredible game of Old day's cricket
A match that had everything
4 superstars javed salim imran wasim carried Pakistan team in late 80s early 90s
Another Brilliant Upload keep it up
How much distance was that six hit by the Prime Minister, because it even crossed that double roads outside the stadium ..
I hope Imran is as good at PM as he was at cricket. He played for my local team when he was 19. Always been my hero
The match that made a 15 year old me realise England/Europe would have massive social problems in the future...

@@ibbysvloggs1018 It was both as bad as each other mate. A Pakistan fan got his neck cut badly in one fracas.

That's where we got our traditional collapse.
Nice match.
This was real cricket, not the drivel we have nowadays!
Great win by England
What a match😢
17:43 Was Ray Illingworth blind? His description of that delivery certainly did not accord with reality...
Monday 25th May 1987.
Akram wasn't always a great bowler :) he gave it away.
At that time he was inexperienced and young ok
At one time in the game, he had given only 7 runs from 6 overs
Even in the semis of 87 wc, he was taken to task by Waugh, which eventually resulted in their loss.
Great victory b y england
What a contest!!!
No third umpire decisions, happy days.
Absolutely.
Great performance by all English players
what a fantastic match..equal fight between bat and ball.. Phil defretas you beauty -played innings of his life to nail Pakistan ..

very good match but in the end luck favoured england,hard luck for green shirts but well played.
Batting skills were better or bowling was better in yester years???

How Sunil Gawasker managed to score runs?
I think no fixing was involved. Malik runs out two batters.And the rest were genuine players.
Superb England

The way some of those Pakistan middle order wickets went down you can't help thinking of the sound 'kerching'.

It was also reported in Indian newspapers that botham put his foot inside the car of a pakistani fan who was jeering at him during the match.
Kalyan Kumar Maybe he was trying to kick his mother in law.
Nice one Beefy sadly not true.
Blimey. I wouldn’t have liked to be an England fan walking about Aston looking for a pint after this result..

Strange.
Imran. Wasim
2 tail enders. Still Pak lost match.
Can hardly see what’s going on
look Imran Khan so happy evident @26:55
Imran is imran
Yes. But it's not cricket. Hysterics as 'entertainment'. Oh dear.

6 wickets down for 0. if one of the paks batsmen had made 2 runs then eng would of struggled
Why that owl 🦉 Mansoor akhter in team
yaa one fun was stabbed in this much
Funny how those Pakistanis go quiet😉

Imran Khan
Over hyped waseem akram, he was shit really till early mid 90's managment couldnt kick em out cause Imran khan brought him in.
Lol idiot
Lol he was young and inexperienced. He learnt from Imran Khan and became the sultan of swing. One of the best left arm fast bowler in the world
Shit bowling from Imran in the end
And shit on your parents
Beefy looking particularly beefy in this match. I mean fat, obv
Mansoor Akter what a waste!!
Hanif Rehman i agree. Clueless
Mansoor had a good test series that 1987 season.
