Empire Of Cricket - West Indies BBC Video Documentary

Episode 2 (West Indies)

The sport’s role in establishing a cohesive Caribbean society, one that helped heal the social and political divisions created by an apartheid-based system, and subsequently paved the way for the unified West Indian teams that dominated the game in the 1970s and 1980s. Following a 20-year period of sustained success, the Windies went into decline, a fall that even the presence of the great Brian Lara could not prevent. Includes interviews with Viv Richards, Garry Sobers, Clive Lloyd, Michael Holding, David Gower and Richie Benaud.

20 Years of Sachin: CRICKETER OF THE YEAR 1997

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar

SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR was born in Bombay on April 24, 1973, and, since childhood, has trodden a steady, almost inevitable, path to greatness. He attended the city's Sharadashram Vidyamandir school, where the Harris Memorial Challenge Shield, a competition for Under-17s, provided the chance to bat for hours. From the age of 12, when he scored his first century for the school and came to notice as a special talent, he indulged himself. When 14, he compiled not out scores of 207, 329 and 346 in the space of five innings, one of them contributing to an unbroken partnership of 664 with Vinod Kambli, a record in any form of cricket.

He was 16 years and 205 days old when he made his Test debut, in November 1989, in the National Stadium in Karachi - for a young Indian, perhaps the most fiery baptism of all. The following year, at Old Trafford, he hit his first Test century - not a scintillating innings, but an exercise in technique, concentration and application beyond his tender years, which saved a game that might have been lost. Had it come 31 days earlier, he would have been the youngest century-maker in Test history. During the winter of 1991-92, he went to Australia, where they still talk in awe of the centuries he scored in Sydney and in Perth
