finally made up my mind and voted for the 1970s. lillee, gavaskar, richards, imran, hadlee, botham, chappell, kapil, miandad, greenidge, border, garner, holding, rod marsh, roberts and marshall - all made their debuts in this decade. sobers, kanhai, walters, chandrasekar, bedi, boycott, knott, vishy and lloyd were still palying. the first two world cups were staged. india won back to back series in west indies and england. ian chappell unleashed his fast bowlers on west indies. west indies made england pay for it. kerry packer brought in a new brand of cricket. cricket was still played on uncovered wickets and without helmets. yeah, sure. i would choose 1970s over the other decades!
