Rob, this is magnificient stuff indeed. Would you happen to have any videos of Barry Richards vs Dennis Lillee and Mike Proctor vs Viv Richards/Greg Chappell in WSC cricket
thanks!

Great video.. I remember Ian chappell talking about Snow as one of the best he's faced and the evidence is for all to see. Richie benaud's commentary is refreshingly honest "a pathetic 64/4" as it should be instead of the crap adjectives you hear nowadays

This is great

Rob here is an awesome cricket archivist. These old clips are great insights into the culture of the day. Note, when a wicket falls, just how subdued & gentlemanly the bowler & fielders are -- no high-fiving, whooping, group-hugging. Very little sledging & the like in those days. We were mannerly in club cricket, too. I remember applauding a shot when I got pulled for 6 once. No mean stares or anything. My next bouncer was quicker & knocked him in the temple. I said I was sorry. Different times.

@Flagfalls No, Aus didn't get colour TV till mid-70s.
I watched this series on TV as a cricket-mad kid in Geelong. Snow, frankly, was the difference between the 2 sides. Got it to whip off the wicket like no one else. (Willis hadn't yet grown into his talent.) Aus bowlers were trundlers by contrast. Lillee still a year away. Snow konked Terry Jenner on the scone in a later match. TJ went down like a sack o' potatoes & the crowd wanted Snow's head on a pike.
Great bowler -- even for a Pom.

This is superb! John Snow was an underrated bowler. He had the more illustrious Fiery Fred & Bob Willis at either end of his career. Simple, unassuming run up, but like the way he spears the ball into the right hander.
Black & White video from 1971? I thought there would've been colour TV in Australia at that time.
And is there any video of a bowler named John Price? I believe he was Snow's contemporary. Seems he had one of the longest run ups.

My God. A smiling friendly cooperative john Snow!! There werent that many days like that!

This is fantastic stuff. I've been following Test cricket since 1973 and this is the first time I have seen extended footage of John Snow in full cry in the 1970/71 series. Many thanks for uploading this!

I only just saw this! Rob mate, you deserve several knighthoods! As often happens with shameless flattery, it comes with a shameless request. You wouldn't happen to have some Andy Roberts videos would you? Would love to see any great spell of the great man if would happen to have it in your humongous archive.
