Marshall Magic, Brilliant Botham & Greenidge's Masterpiece! | Classic Match | Eng v WI 1984 | Lord's

Classic highlights from an all time great Test match as England battled West Indies at Lord's in 1984. See Marshall's 6 wicket haul, hundreds for Fowler & Lamb & Botham's 8- fer before Gordon Greenidge stole the show with his unbelievable 214* in West Indies 344-1 chase.

A moment of appreciation for the channel, to give a chance even to spectate such greats to have played the game .

One of the best 4th innings century by Gordon Greenidge.

Brutal slaughter.

What a bowler Marshall was ???
Definitely best of all time contender.

Golden Summers of the past watching some of the best players of their day.
Malcolm Marshall, Viv Richards and Beefy would all be in my all-time XI.
Also fantastic to hear the tones of Ritchie Benaud who is greatly missed.
Thank you for uploading these wonderful highlights.

Thanks for sharing. What a remarkable match. Greenidge's 214* is legendary but I hadn't realized what an incredible performance by Botham. Fine innings by Fowler and Lamb. Proper cricket. Props to Larry Gomes - takes some kind of talent to bat at #4 for this team.

Those ruthless square cut by Greenidge la..la...amazing. what a team that was 😊

MALCOLM'S PURE PACE
BOTHAMS ALL - ROUND TALENT
GREENINDGE CONSISTENT AND CLASS

[mrkipling]

He wasn’t the fastest bowler around but he was so accurate and nearly always made the batsman play it. Ian Botham was my cricket hero growing up. Absolutely brilliant player.

This is a true battle of titans. Perhaps the strongest English side ever vs the vintage top dog West Indies.

Recall my old memories. GG 214 Is still in memory. Thanks for video ✌️

One of the best 4th innings knock of all time by the Great Sir Gordon Greenidge

Thank you for giving us this opportunity to watch legends like Greenidge, Botham, Good old days 👍

Gower was slaughtered by the press for the declaration. But he really couldn't be faulted: it was just sublime Greenidge, batting like a man possessed, who was responsible for the result. Until the time Greenidge walked into bat for the second time, England had made a match of it.

Facing the fast bowler without proper helmet was devastating for the player and against the west indies pacer was like fan falling on head when hit by the bouncer

[vaadaenmacchi]

Look at the camaraderie between Ian and Viv after that bouncer!

[venkxjk]

Thank you for uploading one of the top performances of one of the greatest cricket teams of all time... It is a true pleasure to watch an evenly matched contest between bat and ball, especially, if the contest involves the legends who uphold the spirit of the game and be a sport....

[debiprasadindrajit]

08:57 is the best moment. The way Viv walked towards the other end of the pitch after that bouncer. Botham against Viv, I would pay box-office tickets to watch that.

[lestercharles]

The quality of the square cutting by both teams in this match is brilliant...

[mrduckspeak]

I remember one cricket correspondent's summary of this game included the immortal line, "Botham bowled England into the game on the Saturday - and out of it again on Tuesday."

I was just a teen but those were great days- watching cricket for hours on BBC
