What was controversial about it?
A fine over from a fine fast bowler. 6 unplayable deliveries right where you dont want them.
Loved watching big bird bowl.
Even tho im 🇦🇺. That windies side was pure class top to bottom.

The Bird was one of the greatest fast bowler of all times.

The only way to bat against Joel is to just stand and watch the balls leaving.

In the history of cricket, there are any number of tall fast bowlers. But Joel Garner is totally different and the most difficult bowler to face for any batsman. It is any body's guess as to how the great Vivian Richards dealt with him in the carrebean domestic cricket. Unfortunately for the Indians, he never toured India, just like Colin Croft, though the likes of Michael Holding, Malcom Marshall, Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh did tour India.

1984/85 West Indies side was incredible.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that over. Do not forget that there were many Aussie 'quicks' at the time who had no problem bouncing a delivery into the chest of a late order batsman. Garner played very fair with the tail enders.

Big bird 🐦 Garner a terror of a bowler.

"Steady flow of batsman at the moment..."😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 It's taken me 36 years to appreciate the commentary of Ian Chappell. In one interview, he said that a good captain is one who'll tell his mate that the umpire is bonkers and go say something similar to the umpire about his mate. I used to think Ian Chappell can't be trusted. But, now, yeah, he's pretty good. Perhaps the time he played that was the beat approach to leadership.

Thank u to all the women in the Chappell family for manufacturing Greg, Ian and Trevor Chappell.🙏

Such a pleasure seeing Big Bird operate on a fast/bouncy pitch. He could do both the strike as well as the stock bowling job when he bowled bouncy medium pace with the old ball and kept the runs down better than almost anyone in that role.

The Yorker is all he was waiting for....

Over the period of times, life of batsman has been eased drastically…i think being a bowler in 70, 80, 90 s was as fascinating as a batsman …if not more ..their was kind of flamboyancy associated being a fast bowler running through bowling bouncers giving hard time to batsman …icc rules has ruled it out from cricket …it wonders how much bats are improved these days ..so much that you can’t even compare with that era …batsman can choose any bat in this world and come up with personnel bats …but bowlers can only have bowl that too chosen by icc …and rules are such they have to treat it like sacred thing …and in that era that inswing fast bowling was part of that fascinating bowling culture …that spunk which was great to watch ..what people cherish or enjoy … and every cricketer of that era will accept that bowl tempering was part of that in swing art which is now diminished because of rules …Howcome batsman be allowed to have any bat or any kind of bat but bowlers to have same old ball …looks unfair.. ….I think to bring a spark in cricket and realive that flamboyancy fast bowling …icc should let the bowlers to tamper the bowl after 30 overs in limited cricket and after 60 till second ball change in test cricket and same in t20( or discussing it with cricketers of that era and this era, can bring such changes) …to have bowler leverage something out of same old piece of bowl …tampering should be atleat as much as bowlers do at that era…like seem should allowed be tamper ..shine with salvia ..kind of power play thing to bowlers …they have something to leverage …batsman these days are about to reach highest scores in odi around 250 and 400 in test 150 in t20 …bowlers still have only at most 10 wickets to take like ever and ever …that infuse of ball tempering will give some resistance to batting being evolved …and will re alive …that art of in-swing fast bowling …that people loved …to give bowlers something to garnish …that would make cricket more interesting ..will make bowling aspect..as important and integral part of cricket …

What is controversial about this over?

[Tailomi]

Superb bowler. One of the best of all time but dont understand why this is titled controversial..

[siddwhiz]

Current teams wud jave been bowled out for under 150

[PlatoCave]

What about inhuman Thomson and Lillee? They intentionally target batsman head not wickets. What about that being "controversial"?

[cliff]

Anglosaxons term everything controversial if they can't control them😅😅😅

[gokuvegeta]

Was a good bowler especially with his yorkers and bouncers but not other worldy like Marshall, Steyn, Amram
