One of my favourite old time black and white cricket photos is Don Bradman meeting Babe Ruth in 1932 at Yankee Stadium.
Two of the all time great batters, Babe looks in awe of the Don or maybe he just doesn't know who he is.
Like most Americans he was probably clueless about cricket.

Ironically a shot that he eventually had to give away to make it

This is brilliant, anyone got a clip of it? Finding any clips related to indian cricket is a nightmare with all the clickbait newspapers that India has clogging up the google searches

Michael Holding spits the dummy against NZ in 1979/80
This was the series where Colin Croft ran through umpire Fred Goodall in the 2nd test at Christchurch after a number of (very) dodgy decisions went NZ's way.

Back in the good old days or maybe bad old days when most countries had biased local umpires in test matches.
Australia had a few back then too along with the West Indies, India and Pakistan. England not so much but they probably had a few too.
It's no wonder the ICC decided to switch to neutral umpires in test matches but that often means you don't get the best umpires either.
Difference being this was as close to an unplayable as you’d get
Just on the topic of home umpires and controversy, Dick French remarkably still stands by his decision to give Craig McDermott not out when he was plumb LBW in the 2nd last over of the MCG test between Australia and New Zealand.
Trent Boult or Clark Trent?

These guys look like they've been given some of Dad's money and they are ready to invest it in your new tech start-up.
Anyone know who the third from the right is? I can name everyone else but who the FK is that?

The ' home town' decisions of yesteryear were particularly bad in India & Pakistan. There were several instances of of touring sides thinking about going home due to the terrible decisions that were made.
Javed Miandad was never given out LBW in his homeland and according to one Australian test player, he goaded the the Australians by saying 'this is my land, my rules'.
Having said that, Bill Lawry was apparently never adjudged LBW in Australia.
However, going back to that 1979 WI tour of NZ, here are highlights on the web - and honestly, some of the umpiring decisions in favour of the Kiwi's were absolutely laughable.
It doesn't excuse the behaviour of the Windies players however.
Javed Mianded was dismissed LBW 8 times in tests in Pakistan.
