West indies were the best around at that time i remember at the time i was 13 years old and the impact of this team was umbelievable, Fantastic Players with alot of character also bare in mind Australia had some fantastic players at the time, Watching this cricket certainly brings back alot of memories as kid. Just awsome stuff..
It would be great if somebody could post the first final of the same series. It was one of the rare occasions that Australia won anything back then, and Border's 127 was a rare instance of somebody able to handle the West Indies at their best with ease.
Mcdermott got Richards out in his first cricket season again,again and again. But on every dismissal of the great batsman there was hardly any joy in Macdermott's reaction!!!
This third final was very poor in comaparison to the dramatic first and second finals that summer.
Australia beat the previously unbeaten West Indies in the first in a massive upset, then set them a daunting (for the time) 272 to win in the second final, which the Windies got in the last over to set up this anti-climactic third final.
Well for one, Aussies had Rodney Hogg in this team. The man even at his current age of 57, believes that cricketers should not be asked to "behave properly"-Maybe he is squandred away all his money and is short of money, and believes that mouthing such stupid stuff will get him a career in the sports media
Great batting from Richards but this video reminds me how absolutely diabolical Australia's catching was that summer. Can't blame not having Lillee, Chappell and Marsh to support you if you can't hold onto the ball.
hope the glory days of west indies cricket return some day... the world cricket needs them to do well..

I remember Rod McCurdy from the rebel tour to SA, he was the first to wear the heavy cream on his nose.

There is nothing quite like a tall, powerful West Indian fast bowler, gliding in and delivering the ball at close to 90 mphs!
