I came across this on youtube, nothing beats a good collapse, particularly when it is Australia inflicting it.

Anyway, as a result, I thought I would start a thread for cricket videos that people encounter and want to post.

"Lots of sports stars do let themselves go when they retire. Not you, not you Shane, because you were never in great shape to begin with".

Tendulkar bowls a maiden to Lara. West indies scoring at less than two an over after nineteen.

That reminds me of like 92/93 when Phil Simmons opened the bowling for the West Indies and got 4/3 with 8 maidens.

I can't remember David Johnson, probably because I was too young, and he only played two Tests

Dont remember him either, which is weird. Esp for an Indian cricketer with a name like that. Sure he's not AI?

Yes: Wisden stated that the ball was found by a small boy on the road outside the ground. The ball was presented to Sobers the next day and then was donated to the Trent Bridge Cricket Museum.

Amazing thing was that small boy was none other than Ian Botham


Ok maybe not entirely factual, but dont think we should let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Also that fifth six was pretty contentious. Hard to tell where the rope is, but looked like he caught it to me

Sad news. He had a very similar action to Shoaib Akhtar

I believe the player did catch the ball but then stepped back over the boundary rope and thus gave Sobers another six.
