World Series ODI Classic Matches On FOX!

[giggler99]

Who’s been enjoying watching all the old classic highlights matches of The World Series ODI’s from the 80’s and 90’s? Bringing back a lot of memories and nostalgia. ODI‘s will never be that good again! A big shame.

love watching the old West Indies teams boy they had some big names and some big boys too lol Richards, Ambros, Walsh, Garner, Richardson, Marshall.. the names were just amazing with that team.

Can’t forget Dean Jones he would just tear bowlers apart back then and was also my favourite player along with Sir. Viv growing up. loved watching them play. Viv so cool and confident chewing the gum while smashing it and Deano was cool and collected no nonsense stuff.

what an era.

This post is a bit confusing, World Series Cricket refers to the unofficial cricket matches organised by Kerry Packer from 1997 to 1979, it would be great to watch them again.

ODI will never be that good again! A big shame.

I don't know man the combination of defensive fields, defensive bowling and defensive batting for 45 overs just doesn't do it for me.

The crowds and the atmosphere through, that can never be replicated again!

Very nostalgic and great to watch.
Love seeing the players having a crack at each other, the commentators laughing it off about little incidents, no one seemed to be offended back then.
Great to see the ball running into the boundary fence, the fieldsman trying to stop the ball hitting the fence and not having to worry whether or not he was touching the fence when he stopped the ball.
Great seeing a ball 5 inches down the leg side not being called wide, Bounces could be bowled without worrying if they went to high. Great cricket played by great players.

Australia almost never fielding a full strength team outside World Cups hasn't helped. 2015 World Cup vs England and final vs New Zealand had great atmosphere. Predictably went back to nothing next season.

Mid-strength beer has driven away all the 'party' people.

Did anyone watch the Bill Lawry special on Monday ? Loved it. Ian Chappell is next up.

I flicked on aus v south africa 93/94 ODI just now.

First thing I see is Hayden hit F De villiers for 4 and someone in the crowd is holding up a sign 'STICK THAT UP YA FANIE'.

 

[CakeEater]

Aus a vs Zimbabwe on now

Forgot how good to watch Andy Flower was.
Also reminded me how good Wa cricket was in the 90s ( Angel, Moody, Martyn Langer)

 

[KennyHuntersBlues]

Vs Pakistan on now
Miandad 2 off 26 and Imran 1 off 24 worse scoring rate than a test !

Love the 94/95 Australia A games.

Have they shown the Hobart game where Mujtaba hit Steve Waugh for 6 off the last ball to tie the game?

It says how strong the Windies were in this era that they could carry someone like Logie for so many tests, and Williams who is categorically the worst keeper batsman I’ve ever seen

 

[Kram]

Healy always looked like bellend with his batting style, just mirroring the bloke's personality I guess.

 

[PhatBoy]

It’s been a good laugh watching May bowl and then marrying that with the fact that Warne thinks he was a genius

 

[Kram]

lmao that was plumb lbw on Mcdermott.

One on Healy might be a leveler though.

Windies keeper is an absolute plonker.

mcdermott should have been fired just for using a Gabba bat

 

[PhatBoy]

These packages are a nice reminder of something the West Indies are missing atm..... a bare minimum of half a dozen alphas in their starting xi

 

[Kram]

Solid 31 off 76 so far, I wonder how much Geoffy Marsh would be hated if there was BF was around back in the day. Probably make his boys look loved by comparison.

Big Moods in!

Oh how the likes of Art Vandelay_ would have loved this s**t.

 

[Kram]

50 off 104 lel.

Overrated Jones spudded it up for 9 off 22.

 

[giggler99]

Amazing watching a young skinny fresh faced tendulkar, How old would he have been in 91 17, 18?

What did Whitney have, suppose whatever brand that they could find that weren't so embarrassed to let him carry it.

 

[Kram]

lol at AB's reaction to Jones dropping an absolute sitter.

Moody with 51 off 44 balls shows how it should be done!
