00:00Gus Logi, ever the craftsman at the crease, unveiled two strokes of pure elegance against

00:06Arshad Ayoub during the third test at Port of Spain on April 15, 1989.

00:11Arshad Ayoub, a skilled-off spinner in excellent rhythm in that season, was posing a challenge

00:16to the West Indian middle order.

00:18The first four from Logi's blade was a masterclass in timing, a graceful flick through mid-wicket

00:23that brought joy to the hearts of classic cricket aficionados.

00:27With the very next delivery, Logi displayed impeccable footwork, leaning into the ball

00:32and punching it crisply through the cover region to gather another three runs.

00:36Unfazed, Arshad Ayoub floated the next one, wide outside the off-stum, but Logi, in sublime

00:43touch, leaned into the width and crashed it through the covers for yet another exquisite

00:48boundary.

00:57Just the turn to spin now, after a prolonged period of seam attack and four wickets taken,

01:13India turned to their spinners.

01:15And, of course, this pitch has taken a spin right from the starfeeder.

01:22Arshad Ayoub to Logi, wide at the off-stump, and, er, I'd hate to be that silly point fielder

01:30there.

01:31He picked that up on the up, gives it quite a punch from a little back-lift, that's Logi.

01:37Three runs to him.

01:44Well, you can support either side, West Indies, or India.

01:50Oh, another one.

01:52Arshad Ayoub's length line, rather, straying wide of off-stump, and that's hit even better.

01:59That's four runs.

02:04The Arshad Ayoub has turned towards the east, though.

02:08A little thought to look at that.

02:11This captain is fielding at silly point.

02:13Sissy Vengsar could turn and flinch.

02:16Sissy isn't, er, looking at the captain.

02:21And West Indies just running away from India now, after a marvellous start.

02:25Plenty for young boys to enjoy.

02:27Good stroke-makers, these two.

02:29Hiwani.

02:30Delicate stuff.

02:32Very little back-lift.

02:47Very strong assists.

02:51And I think it must read him.

02:55He knew that wasn't the Goodly, and gave himself room to cut.

03:0091 for 4, 31 over is gone.

03:07Oh, even finer.

03:09Capital Dev had moved wider at first lip.

03:12And it is moody.

03:20The one, he does bowl the googly.

03:22That's the one that comes in from outside the off stump

03:24with a leg break action, but no doubt about it.

03:26Gus can read which way it's going.

03:28You might be watching it in the air, spinning.

03:31Beautifully played.

03:32Look at Finch.

03:33Feeling of despair at slip.

03:38Back to Cheetan Sharma.

03:43That's well played.

03:44Beautifully placed and flicked again with those

03:47wristy short of logies.

03:58And these two have repaired the early damage.

04:01It was 26 for 4.

04:03And Richardson and Gus Logie put the innings together again.

04:10That's the first time that Logie hasn't really given it the full treatment.

04:13And he just stopped his shot.

04:14But he wasn't quite to the foot.

04:15And he had really had a doubt.

04:16And left of it.

04:17And he could be really really hard.

04:18Overall, in this inning, Gus Logie compiled a well-crafted 38 runs of 64 balls in 104 minutes

04:32at the crease.

04:33Stopped with two arrogant boundaries against India.

04:36A delicate cut of the balling of Narendra Hirwani stood out as one of the loveliest strokes

04:41of the innings.

04:42A shot that seems to glide off the bat with effortless grace.

04:46Even on the very next delivery, Logie executed another delicate cut shot.

04:51This time leaving the Indian slipfielder rooted.

04:54Stunned by precision and finances of the placement, Hirwani himself appeared in disbelief

04:59at how beautifully the shot was threaded through the gap.

05:03Gus Logie further showcased his command with a splendid shot through mid-vicket.

05:07Collecting three runs of the balling of Chetan Sharma.

05:10Once again reminding spectator of his impeccable timing and placement.

05:15His fluent innings, however, came to a close in dramatic fashion.

05:18Looking to drive firmly down the ground, Logie struck it hard and straight.

05:22Only to see it pouched by Hirwani in a sharp cut and bowl dismissal.

05:27A fitting end to a stylish knob.
