Galagali Sir.... thanx a lot for the video ..... this test is vivid in memory .... Gavaskar got first of his 3 successive centuries in the series ..... India lost the first 2 tests ..... won next 2 and lost a close finish in 5th test ..... it was a joy to switch between ABC and AIR commentary ...... Alan Mcgilvry in ABC was a joy .....
My - that was a Brisbane soft (underprepared) 'greentop' . Look at the grip and turn that Bedi was getting in 1st hour of match! Reminiscent of Derek Underwood on a damp wicket. Great Indian spinners. But the least threatening opening (medium) pace pair ever seen in test cricket!
I had rushed home from school to eagerly turn on the TV only to find that Australia was 8/118 at tea and Bob Simpson after a 10 year retirement had been dismissed cheaply. I realized then that Australia was probably in for a very embarrassing one sided thrashing, and back then the Test series went right to the end of the summer well into February. India had easily beaten all the state teams in the leadup matches, if you could bet on cricket back then Australia would have been very much the long odds. Peter Toohey really looked a class above all the other Australian batsmen at the time but his career just fizzled out after that summer, as did most of his team mates.
Great! Memories of waking up at 5 am to hear anant setalwad and jasdev singh on AIR.One of the best series ever though it was a brand new Aussie side with the first 11 all playing for Kerry packer
Thanks @ Jay. This was very interesting and close series and I guess last series before Kapil dev enter Indian cricket.. Kudos for sharing gem of Golden era of Cricket
Thank you very much for uploading this match here. Looking forward for the indias 2nd innings as Sunny scored brilliant 116 and india narrowly missed the triumph by 16 runs.
Ha! I was in Year 11 when this game was on. WSC in its infancy and the Aussie team was a second string team with the exception of just a few players who didn’t go to Packer’s Pundits!
australian selection policies steve rixon was not picked for the england tour and peter toohey dropped during it both deserved more of a chance i think interstate ructions may have olayed a part as a lot of the team was from nsw
Thanks a lot Brother for uploading the 1977-78 series first test India V Australia. Can u please also try to upload same series 5th Test match played in Adelaide.
40 years old bob simson scored many runs against India this indicates that our bowling was very weak. Bedi never tried medium pacers. He used to believe himself only. When Kapil Dev became captain, he has given full chance to madan Lal Mohinder Amarnath. Even Bedi didn’t use Kapil in Pakistan otherwise we could have drawn that series.
The lovely loop of Bishen Bedi, always attacking. Peter Toohey could bat and batted well throughout the series. Was later undone with a west Indian missile.
17:19 Tom Brooks taking a chainsaw to the Australian innings again. Little more than a year later he did the same thing to Graham Wood in Perth 2nd test against England and promptly retired after the game.
I was around at the time so i know exactly why we had this sub-par lineup but, apart from Bob Simpson whose contribution to Australian cricket cannot be understated, this has to be the worst test top order Australia has ever seen.
Whole series listened on radio.in those days early in the morning IST.. it used to start at 05.30hrs ...great test series... Memorable..
Yes.. Absolutely... Once upon a time cricket was a gentleman's game

This was a close series India fought well one of the could have beens of Indian cricket thanks for sharing
..
You beauty! Can’t wait for the rest of the days of this Test. An oldie and most certainly a goodie :)
Ha! I was in Year 11 when this game was on. WSC in its infancy and the Aussie team was a second string team with the exception of just a few players who didn’t go to Packer’s Pundits!
He was a fine player Peter Toohey back then and to think Kim Hughes was 12th man
Shame India losing the series to a depleted Australian team playing without 17 of their regular players .
The matches were played at the same time as the breakaway World Series. Veteran Bob Simpson leading a fairly inexperienced Australian XI.
Madam Lals trousers are brilliant
Thank you for the upload. Great watch this.
Fantastic upload - finally get to see bed I bowling - how flighty he was compared to modern flat spinners - and what a length
Great. Waiting for rest of the days now
Thanks for uploading, hope you have the rest of the series, I think Australia won 3-2.
Thank you Jai Sir.
Jai sir I am veeeeery thank full to you sir to fulfill my dreams 🙏🙏
Please upload more videos of this series
A depleted Australian side still won the series 3-2!! Had the Australian world series players played, they most likely would have beaten India 5-0.
I was one year old.
Ananda SETILVAD and SUSEELDOSHI 's running commentary is unforgettable
Gavaskar scored 3 centuries in those series
Wow! Sunday morning surprise!
australian selection policies steve rixon was not picked for the england tour and peter toohey dropped during it both deserved more of a chance i think interstate ructions may have olayed a part as a lot of the team was from nsw
4 slips for a slow medium pacer is epic 😂
Thanks a lot Brother for uploading the 1977-78 series first test India V Australia. Can u please also try to upload same series 5th Test match played in Adelaide.
Athar Kazi Sorry, Just have Sydney and Brisbane. Hsve already shared upto day 4 of Sydney. Will upload day 5 soon.
Jai Galagali OK Thanks.
Sir , waiting for 4 th day of Brisbane test.

Upload ind vs eng 1976-77 test series.
17:19 Tom Brooks taking a chainsaw to the Australian innings again. Little more than a year later he did the same thing to Graham Wood in Perth 2nd test against England and promptly retired after the game.
Sir galslai do you have any highlights of Pak tour Of India 1984 please reply me
Thank you for another excellent video Mr. Galagali! Do you know why Chandra (a right arm spinner) was always throwing with left hand while fielding?
Vasudeva Rao will find out!
His right arm was polio affected but he could bowl but no strength to throw
You are right
The voice at 11:10 sounds like that of Bradman. Could someone confirm this?
Hi nice, how about other days?
India ka fast bowling attack hamaisha weak raha hai

@UC4XYi9h9wowbioXAxl7hBjQ I detest that opening captioning suggesting that cricket is no longer a gentleman's game. You are a git!
