I can remember watching this aged 11 years old. After watching it, my mum even allowed me to sit up and watch the highlights the same night. And, of course, did the very same thing the next day :)

He immediately became, and has remained, my all-time hero ever since.

his technikue was not proper but fearless.

Graham Wood misfields at .57 fyi FLAGFALLS.

What a magnificent innings! That series was truly "Beefy's Summer". The Six off Alderman was imperious. Not many batsman can go down the track to a fast bowler. And who was the fielder at 0:57? That was Indian-style fielding.

My goodness, the beginning of this video startled me: "ya ya ya ya yaaa!"

[jagdpanther1944]

fair play.... I guess they both did the "Wilson of the Wizard" bit!

I read Ian Bothams and David Gowers autobiographys (both cracking reads)

(As opposed to Chris "lets jump at a yorker" Read)

that actually isn't correct, Botham had started to hit out a wee bit and he told Dilley just to enjoy himself ..... BOTHAM led this counter attack!

[McIntyre67]

Just a shame there is an ESPN symbol on this video as it has nothing to do with them whatsoever, this is BBC!!!

Ovett was the arrogant one and Coe was by far the better runner!

Ha, i used to love watching Ovett waving to the crowd on his way to winning. Seb Coe struck me as colder and more arrogant, still does
