The match however is still remembered for an interesting bat-ball&nbsp;clash between West Indian stylish&nbsp;batsman Alvin Kallicharran and Australian bowling legend Dennis&nbsp;Lillee.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Australia batted first and were bowled out for 192.&nbsp;Chasing a modest target, West Indies lost&nbsp;Gordon Greenidge early on and that brought Kallicharan to the middle. What happened next was a fine display of batting against quality fast bowling.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">The pitch was hardly providing any help to seamers but Lillee was using his skills and experience that was troubling West Indian batsman. <strong><em>He was mixing speed, bounce and accuracy to extract the best from conditions.<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;But&nbsp;Kallicharran was in a different mood&nbsp;as he&nbsp;decided to go after Australian bowling attack from the begining. And&nbsp;the real firework started when Lillee came back for his second spell. <em><strong>The fearless Kallicharran using his exquisite timing and footwork scored 35 runs from just 10 balls of Lillee. <\/strong><\/em>The details of those 10 balls are - 4,4,4,4,4,1,4,6,0,4. His inning finally came to an end for 78 when while attempting to pull&nbsp;he was cauught at midwicket on the&nbsp;bowling of&nbsp;Lillee. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">It was a visual treat for spectators in otherwise a boring match. Kallicharran display wide variety of shots (Cut, Hook, Pull) all round the ground against one of the best bowlers of all time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Sahir<\/span><\/span><br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
