  1. He is not boon.
    He is boom boom

  2. My father told me about this inning when I was a kid.

  3. What a legend. More often than not the hero of the innings. Love the way he seems to loosen the shoulders before a cover drive.

  4. 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️

  5. I like when the batsmen don't use helmets. feels relatable….

  6. The plywood they used for bats back then make these centuries so much better.

  7. Boon, VB, cricket, the channel 9 cricket theme song. Childhood. 🏏

  8. Boony today, with a bat twice as big and twice as heavy, would be unstoppable.

  9. Roger Binny, Chetan Sharma military medium bowlers, no wonder he's not wearing helmet!

  10. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Those cover drives were glorious. Thank you.

  11. He made the bowlers look slow with how he got into position so early.

  12. Another Brilliant Upload Keep It up

  13. None of the commentators gave him props for his subtle and classy mullet.

  14. Boon v Ritchie, who had the better six pack/keg. A rare occasion to see the two fittest cricketers of a generation batting together.

  15. Trademark front foot drives.

  16. The man.
    The 'mo.
    The LEGEND.
    How good was Boony🤩

  17. Aussie Aussie Aussie
    Oi Oi Oi

  18. Boonie and Fatcat .. 2 eighties legends

  19. David boon well performance of Australian team from 80s players after Don Bradman ❤️💝💝💥 well played innings

  20. This is fantastic playing fast bowling without a helmet. Also the Indian bowling was not that pacey just around 140 that is what it looks like but still lethal. Then we had the Windies the Pak,Nz, Sa n English bowling that were packed with fast bowling n players like gavaskar n Clive n the Chappel bro's were too good with their batting techniques. I always imagined how these batsmen would play today against the bbowler like umran malik, Mitch starc, Josh and others who bowled 144 plus.

  21. When I was a kid during 92-93 i was afraid to see Boon 's picture because of Boon's moustache 🤣🤣

  22. Fantastic innings great man

  23. David Boon is my father's, one of all time favourite batsman.

  24. Not a helmet is very tough innggs

  25. It’s nice to see no theatrics and carrying on when they hit 100 ,also nice to see the batsman walking off without chastising everything and everyone for going out .

  26. Some pure classic cricket strokes from the man that has the record for most 🍻's consumed ever on a ✈.

  27. What a coincidence😮. Was just watching the highlights of this test on YouTube

  28. His stance and style of play resembles tendulkar

  29. Great innings. Took a good ball from Kapil Dev to get him out.
