Watched it as well Ox. An amazing collection of great fast bowlers all playing at the one time back when the Windies could bowl as many bouncers an over that they felt like.
Geez we were crap in the 80's. Got thrashed every year (like the Tiges :-\). So the selectors chucked most of the dud oldies out, made Border captain and played youngsters Waugh, Boony and co and the rest is history. A lesson there for RFC :thumbsup.
