A video of Monty dismissing Sachin Tendulkar. Not quite yet his bunny, but…check out those celebrations.

CommentsA video tribute to Monty Panesar

Don’t worry, he’s not dead. This is just a video I found of the great Montster, featuring Bonnie Tyler’s brilliantly inappropriate song (in terms of the feel of the music, not the title…) Holding Out For a Hero.

Sorry for lack of posts lately. This is why:
It was rocktacular, epic and sweaty. The only possible link to cricket this post has is, after the gig, Miller and I decamped in the nearest pub and met a very old Jamaican and slightly younger Jamaican. Cricket was discussed, among other things…

Another superb video from Youtube. It’s Ian Healy bowling in the style of Merv Hughes (complete with tache and beer belly), Malcolm Marshall and Abdul Qadir.

What a winner. Michael Vaughan loses his trousers, and could there anyone better than David Lloyd to commentate on it?

A colleague sent this to me today and it is required viewing. Sky Sports’ advert for the US Open, featuring Kevin Pietersen. If you can’t see the video below, try here.

If you haven’t seen it, you’ve not missed out a great deal. But it’s a bit of a laugh anyway. Here are Mark Butcher and Mark Ramprakash in Surrey’s Twenty20 promo video.

CommentsVideo of Sobers’ 254 v Australia, 1971-72
By Will last year, mid-May, Comments
Terrific video of Sir Garry Sobers’ 254 for a World XI against Australia in 1972, an innings described by Don Bradman as the greatest he ever saw played on Australian soil.

CommentsThe Bay 13 vibe…in Helsinki
By Will last year, mid-May, Comments
Cricket really is spreading. Here follows a minor non-ICC-accredited brawl, involving some Bay13ers, in Helsinki.
Gotta love Youtube.
CommentsSuper effort, that; a video or choo to chew over
By Will last year, mid-May, Comments
“Check one choo, check one choo.” Richie, Tony and Bill are back…well, not really. The video is a brilliant mashup of the latest 12th Man and actual footage of the last horrorshow train-wreck Ashes series. Courtesy of Mr Miller who somehow has found his way back to Blighty.

Video highlights of Malinga’s four-in-four and the most exciting match of this year’s World Cup to date. Eat that, ICC.

CommentsThe Geoffrey Oi!cotts (disGrace on bass; Alan Knott on drums)
By Will last year, at the end of March, Comments
Further to Scott’s post, and Andrew’s piece, comes this example of YouTube at its brilliant, bizarre best. Among the historical gems, a lot of the other videos there are fairly drab’n'dull recollections of fans playing village cricket. Boring. But searching for “cricket” throws up the odd seemingly inexplicable video, such as this: a band called the Geoffrey Oi!cotts. Their MySpace entry reveals the following:
Band Members
Freddy Skintoft (vocals) W.C. disGrace (bass) A.P.E. sKnott (drums) Devon Malcolm McClaren (guitar) The Dickie Birds (backing troupe and groupies)
Influences
Yorkshire pride.

The thwack of willow on leather on a sunny yorkshire afternoon..

hahahahahaha
What a brilliant image that is. Alan Knott on drums (still equipped with wicketkeeping gloves, and a toothy grin); Devon Malcolm, massive 1980s bottle-top glasses, attached to a Fender and - best of all? - several Dickie Birds, rolling up their sleeves and tottering in the background. The Geoffrey Oi!cotts, based in Leeds, also do a passable cover of the Cockney Rejects’
All of this musicery begs the question: which five cricketers, past or present, would be in your band? The stupider, most unlikely the better. Tony Lewis would have to be lead vocalist for a start, closely followed by Mike Smith on drums…
CommentsWho will rid me of this turbulant lawyer?
By Scott last year, at the end of March, Comments
The ICC has stepped in to prohibit cricket clips of the World Cup being available online via YouTube. Andrew Miller skewers this incredible piece of stupidity here. I’m just left gasping at how ICC’s powerbrokers have managed to get themselves so ‘out of touch’ that they thought this was a good idea.
Short of actually prohibiting broadcasting of the games, they could not have made a worse decision. Imagine an attempt by ICC to prohibit cricket blogs or newspaper coverage or forums and you have an idea of how stupid this is. Does Malcolm Speed know how to turn on his PC?
