AUSTRALIA vs WEST INDIES, 1995/1996 WSC G5

[MrAjasp]

these were cricket's great days.

[PakiEagle1]

why westindians didnt change the feilding position in Last ball when they know that boundry is the target now!!!!

[dappa56]

Remember these days when W.I and Aussie was the greatest matches..Was around 5yrs old to 10yrs old but always enjoy watchin the Aussies come to the Caribbean and play us.. Mark Waugh n Steve Waugh..good times.

bill lawry is legend

[thakurbabu1]

Fucking Harper.claiming a clearly dropped catch

[jsuswaram]

@thakurbabu1 lol

[pRoDiGy949]

I used to love this Aussie team, they were true fighters. Just wonder if they really had bad day on 1996 WC final. Steve Waugh made them Invincibles.

Cricket was really exciting those days of great quality. Now this T20 really sucks.

[SydneyFCPete]

I was there that night sitting in the Bill O'Reilly Stand with my dad, Greatest Christmas persent an 11 year old kid could ever have had.

[ttilta]

from i saw that guy lied about the catch i suspected tht they loss.

[GyraDrone]

lol, its funny how alot of ppl keep living in the past, cricket has become alot more difficult for a bowler at this time,its also harder to bat..... looking at that highligh it was an ok match,back then! i would love to see those length balls being bowled now in an odi or t20i.... face the facts,cricket is harder to play right now

[vetridelta]

michael beavn..great talent....

[scarwarsnow]

This west indian team was the last great team they had, excluding a few players, this team played in 1996 WC and lost in the SF against Australia by 5 runs. That was their last best performance in the WC. After that, WI have never risen to those heights.

[farhankhanzada1]

ooooo noooooooooo Bevan works again... shit man.. hehe

[farhankhanzada1]

ooooo noooooooooo Bevan works again... shit man.. hehe

[Mvibez17]

hahaha this is before i was born i think we had some good bowlers XD

[Sparklers009]

And this signaled the raise of one of the greatest one day cricketer ever...

[manomogul]

Courtney Walsh's run out was sublime, what athleticism from the big man!!!

[MrDonNz1]

I missed those days....it was a beautifull days of my life......

[rajiv1231000]

I was 13 and i had seen this one live .Without any Doubt it's one of the best one day internationals u will ever witness till day. Long live Michael Bevan

[kradensteiger]

cheap ass clown harper..........

[hullukyrpa]

BEVAN WAS AWESOME!!!!

[lankylankan]

would've been nice to see some more shots from carl hooper

[OpticalRace]

Carl Hooper was sublime...

[manomogul]

@OpticalRace Cool Carl was a fantastic player in his heyday, a very good bowler, devastating batsman and a very very good fielder as well, an excellent Captain as well, he knows how to talk to each player, and their specific weaknesses and strengths as well.

[ObamaPress]

My goodness. Bevan was such a masterful finisher!

[meatpieguy]

Best One Day match ever !!!

[AJFergy]

will never forget this game

"Don't change that bat!" GOLD

[ShinyMetalInsano]

God, almost forgotten about Shane Lee....Bevan, best ODI innings ever.

[TheDucttapeuser]

The days when cricket was exciting and had everyone on the edge of there seats..

The players were all class and entertaining from all nations ,Now its full of gay cunts , like clarke A.K.A australias beckham..

what the fuck ! FUCK OFF !

[alizafarME3]

@TheDucttapeuser I totally agree mate i miss those days of cricket....what kind of bullshit cricket is going on these days

[qaatil]

Great match.

Michael Bevan is Legend.

[manomogul]

@qaatil Bevan was a fantastic finisher, especially in ODI's

[bumbanirban]

he was not out....harper dropped the catch...can be seen clearly...find ur glasses

[Fizaaish]

ya he was drped by harper and harper knew he droped and he went on and celebrated ,, harper was great player he started coaching when he retired i did not expect that from player like harper,,

[dazzadidja]

bevan was caught out, but stood his ground, but he was out...

[ShinyMetalInsano]

Are your eyes painted on? He dropped that.

[TheCory42]

Carl Hooper was an under rated crickter

[tuitulili]

agreed

[CWA1982]

yep, i agree, good batsmen and decent bowler,

[shippo2k7]

ottis gibson who bowls and gets a couple of wickets played for the county durham in england in 2006 and got 10/47 in one innings

[touseef1298]

Micheal Beven was very tough to get out always.

[vahshehzadeh]

yes M.H Janson

plz upload the matches of Pakistan in WSC 1996/97 includ9ing 2 finals with West Indies

[CasHCreeW]

M. Bevan wat a true finisher he was.

A legend!

[qaz00]

can u upload pakistan's all matches including 2 finals of that series,pls;thanks

[sachintendulkar56]

I still think there is a place for 50 over cricket I love watching it as much as I ever had and hope the crowds and ratings on tv stay high to keep this great form of the game going.

[mahlstadt]

what do you think of mark waugh's shot off ambrose at 2:58?

[statrei]

As far as Harper knew the balled rolled from his hands onto his legs. He did not see the ball hit the ground. We are talking seconds here.

[madhug36]

Michael Bevan is God!!! This game brings back so many good memories.. I was jumping up and down in my couch when Bevan hit that shot.. I was 15 then..:-)

[attractivue]

That means your 29 now lol

[madhug36]

So????

[aiser009]

go warnie

[mitnique]

how could roger harper claim that catch of michael bevan????

[stephonlawrence]

great games windies in my heart you all won ......

[sdb4884]

Paul Reiffel had an awesome bowling action

[jemmyjembo]

Bevan was out, caught and bowled. Should've walked...cheat.

[sdb4884]

Roger Harper was the cheat!

[uraniumdeath]

I didn't watch this match at the time, but this is one of the great finishes in ODI matches.

[adi87tya]

no brian lara?

[MHJanson]

injured

[roguerahu]

no Hanson lara was not injured. He had made himself unavailable for that series and had reportedly wanted to quit telling that cricket had ruined his life after he was fined for an offence.

Great Match and I loved the batting of carl hooper amazing ,and his catch to dismiss reifell unbelivable

[TheHazcam]

@MHJanson Incorrect, was actually a contract dispute (as far as my memory serves me)

[alizaibgoyaya]

@MHJanson very well played by westindies..but where is west indian talent now?

[jsuswaram]

@MHJanson thanks for uploading..wow..Michael Bevan..now Michael Hussey :)

respect from indian fan..

[filoboy88]

what a great game i reckon just better than the aus vs saf match of 2006. my mate who absolutley hated cricket at the time watched this match with me and at the end of it he started to like cricket

[Dave9823]

i listened to this game on my radio, on a school night.....best game ever!

[Thecheongas]

@Dave9823 How the hell did u score a school night on New Year's day? You must have been fkn unlucky....

[faizana2006]

Micheal Bevan was a great finisher! A greatest ODI middle order bastman!

[stevena69au]

he was 1000 to 0 to win that for us....the flow of the game said we were no hope. the guys a freak

[InaBiskit]

this was one of my fondest memories as a kid. Bevan could really play under pressure. As for the rest of my observations, Warne would have made a good captain had he kept it in the pants.

[chadsexinton]

IM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN ROGER HARPER.

[hoever06]

Cheat.

[davogunner]

Bevo, ur a gun!

What about Roger Harper claiming the catch?

Should give credit to Reiffel, and McGrath. Pigeon put Bevo on strike with 2 balls to go, and McGrath had an excellent average of 2 with the bat at that time!

[suveenr1]

any way sri lanka beat aus in the 1996 wc

[YAO11TMAC1]

match seems like it was only last summer, never forget this match, bevan is the man, knew how to play so well in a run chase, hussy is great but his no bevan

[iluvallmusic]

hussey = poor man's michael bevan

[StFidjnr]

what a way to end 1996

[harisworks]

Bevan's the man! I remember this match!

[ericcartmansh]

what a classic, wish more cricket like this was played these days

[itsgonnabefullon]

Credit to Pistol for his 4 wickets and dogged innings late in the game ..

[MHJanson]

Got him the MOM honors too. 99 people out of 100 wouldn't be able to name that.

[s3tTz]

I remember watching Channel Ten news the following night, where they showed the press conference with Bevan. Underneath Michael Bevan's name was the caption, "Man of the match."

*rolls eyes*

[MHJanson]

Official Cricinfo scorecard has POTM: PR Reiffel.

[s3tTz]

exactly

[taimurdar]

WHAT a match,,bevan always won the match for aus...

[ruckmanirc]

I was wondering why no one had posted a video of this one. I remember switching off the telly and then gaping in awe at the end result when I saw it on the news. Thanks mate!
