It's fun watching a genuine quick like Spencer bowling to Adrian Dale, perhaps the epitome of the part-time English slow medium bowlers. I remember watching this when I was much younger. Even aged 41, Viv was the king. How many batsmen half his age in this footage would go out without a helmet? As much as I love watching Lara, Viv has a magnetism I've not seen from any other batsman, Sehwag included.
Great action and very hostile I was lucky enough to see him bowl at the WACA in 93, he was certainly up there with Alan Donald, Patrick Patterson (1986-88) and Andre van troost

I remember this well on tv. Do you have the rest of Viv's duel v Spencer at all? Sadly, I seem to remember the latter involved in a sreoids controversy, if memory serves...
@anthonyaduhene Whoever won this won the Sunday League. Viv finished 46 not out & Glamorgan won by 6 wkts. I was there (can see myself in the crowd!). This match had the best atmosphere of any I've been to & the Welsh fans were very welcome visitors. This spell won't be forgotten by anyone who saw it & Spencer's pace overcame some obvious problems with his line. Sadly, stress fractures ended his career before it started. I've seen many better known pace bowlers but few were close to this fast.
Blimey that's quick, must be close to 100mph stuff.

Quickest bowler that Viv ever faced, he said. I love the gesture right at the end too. Long live King Viv.

@anthonyaduhene None at all, I can't even see it for sale anywhere. I was very surprised to see even this.
Does the person who posted the video have any ideas?

Ok..I am in shock as this is the first time I've seen this bowler. I'll come back and comment when I regain my composure :-)

@robcoates Ha ha - "The Rooster"! Geez, he was quick - it's just a pity he rarely pitched it on the cut strip!

Good Lord, what a find, last time I saw Spencer bowl, he tore through the South Australian middle-order. Huge props to the uploader.
