Randall's 70s and 80s sports thread ( none foot all)

[Randall]

What about the Wimbledon final in 1980 then?

Remember watching it at the newhaven caravan and camping park in Derbyshire

[tungsten tossers]

Borg v McEnroe and that epic 4th set

[Randall]

I didnt mean they played it at the newhaven caravan and camping park obviously

[Randall]

Slightly out of this window but goochs 333 against india another moment that lives large in the memory

The indian keeper, I think it was kiran more dropped an absolute sitter when he was 30 odd

Ritchie benaud on comms just came out with a very stern

"Oh dear"

I had it on VHS

Goochs indian summer it was called.
Fantastic series that included a 17 year old sachin making a game saving 119 at old Trafford I think it was

[M H]

Gooch hit a ton in the second innings as well. A huge change from his debut double duck

He did
333 in the 1st bowled by manoj prabahker if memory serves
Second go he made 123
The aggregate 456 was a record at the time
Possibly still is

[Randall]

1975 he made the pair against Australia
Lawson got him with a beautiful 2nd go

After that series he didnt play a test until 1978.

No team beat England as they didn't qualify.

Was Ray Clemence the England captain
