Compilation of funny and weird cricket moments

This video has a nice compilation of funny and weird moments in cricket ranging from runouts, misunderstandings, to aggressive show offs and silly acts.

Ernie Els Vs Monty Panesar

Ernie Els Vs Monty Panesar - Funny bloopers are a click away

Very nice mashup by Sky Sports. Monty Panesar bowls to Ernie Els and gets him LBW out. As you can see at the end, its an advertisement of US Open Golf and Natwest twenty-twenty on Sky Sports. Nicely done.

Mathew Hayden Pissed

Matthew Hayden Pissed - The most amazing home videos are here

Mathew Hayden gets angry when Simon Jones hits him with the ball when throwing the ball back to the stumps. The giant Hayden wasn't impressed at all but looked very aggressive, although Simon Jones apologized immediately indicated it was impulsive rather than intensional. Whatever it be, I don't mind such events, that make the match livelier.

Shahid Afridi slaughtering Malinga Bandara

Shahid Afridi scored 32 runs in an over off Malinga Bandara.

BOOM BOOM AFRIDI!!! ONCE AGAIN.

446666

This is only second to Herchelle Gibb's six sixes in an over. Pakistan won the match easily and Shahid was declared man of the match.

Malinga's 4 wickets in 4 balls in World Cup

ICC World Cup 2007 Malinga 4 Wickets In 4 Balls - Celebrity bloopers here

This is a thrilling performance by Malinga of Sri Lanka to take Sri Lanka on the verge of winning the game from nearly-lost situation. However, they end up losing the match by a small margin. Even then, it was a great match to watch and the video should be one of the classics as well.

I would say, this performance of Malinga will be remembered for a long time in World Cup History. Watch out for Malinga!

What a catch?

A great catch by the big man from Bermuda. What a catch?
Simply awesome!
Look at the celebration after the catch. Great! Robin Utthapa is gone but more than that the catch is great. What a catch by the huge man? A great example that your body size does not matter if you are agile enough to pull out those extraordinary fielding moments. Leverock is probabaly one of the most famous cricketers in this 2007 World Cup

Six Sixes in an over

Herchelle Gibbs made a record in ODIs by being the first and currently the only to score six sixes in six balls of an over.

Yes he did it against minnow Netherlands but still you got to hit every damn ball fly over the rope which is amazing. In this match South Africa mad 354 in just 40 overs, the maximum overs allocated to the match due to delayed start. Let's see what other world cup amuses we got to see.

Catches from World Cup 96

A rare but great compilation of catches from 1996 Cricket World Cup held in the subcontinent. As you should know, it was won by Sri-Lanka. Can they once again repeat the feat in 2007? We have to wait and see but this great compilation is worthy of reliving the experience anytime as one of the great cricket videos. Enjoy

Fastest World Cup Century

Watch this magnificent world cup centruy by John Davidson of Canada in World Cup 2003 against West Indies. It is still the fastest century in World Cup history. He reached his century in just 67 balls.

The end of his innings was only possible by a great catch by Drakes, with a one hand backward diving catch.

Shane Warne Hat Trick

A great Hat Trick by Shane Warne, one of the greatest all time bowler in the history of cricket.

Great Catch by Ponting

Ricky Ponting is one of the best fielders in world cricket. His aggressive batting, good captaincy, and great fielding ability have made him one of the best cricketers of his time.

This is a very elegant and praiseworthy catch. Hats off Ricky.

How could he miss that?

What a miss? Seemingly easy runout missed perhaps due to over excitement. Made a mess at the end with all his team mates staring at him but things like this happen which gives a bit of worry to the viewers supporting the fielding team while tickle with joy the rest of the viewers.

Catches Win Matches

A great catch from Maharoof of the second last ball of the innings helped Sri Lanka pull a great but close win against India in the 2007 series. India required six runs to win of the last two ball of the game when Sanath Jayasuriya was bowling to Mahendra Singh Dhoni. It looked very likely that India win but the great catch from Maharoof running away deserved the winning tag and was the difference in the end.

India did well to come back in the series and did well overall with good performance from Saurav Ganguly in his comeback before the 2007 World Cup.

Fastest Twenty Twenty fifty by Sanath

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKupKanY-oE
This is a nice video of agressive Sanath. Woo..he is very aggressive in a normal 50 over match, imagine in a twenty twenty. Very good to watch though.

He made 51 of just 23 deliveries. It is likely to change as more 20-20s are played but Sanath did enough to get his team to win. Although the game was affected by rain, Sanath's quick mustering of New Zealand bowlers made Sri Lanka the winner through Duckworth Lewis rule.

Gary Sober hit six sixes in an over

One of the greatest cricketers, Sir Garfield Sobers of West Indies is the first and the one of only two batsmen who have scored six sixes in an over in a first class match. In 1968, playing as captain of Nottinghamshire against Glamorgan in Swansea, he set the world record of the bowling of Malcolm Nash.

The other record holder is Ravi Shastri of India, who did that later in 1984 playing for Bombay.

New Zealand Clean Sweep

I tend not to put matches on this blog, rather I focus to put great cricketing moments of the past. However, this great clean sweep by New Zealand forced my attention.

Would this be the downfall of the Aussies? Or will they come back strong with Ponting in the world cup? We will have to see but certainly Aussies seem to have lost some balance in the team. Other teams like South Africa, New Zealand, India have a perfect chance to sneak away the highest trophy in world cup this spring in the Caribbean.

Anyway, let's hope for a great cricket world cup 2007, whoever wins.

Throw it away

Let's see some funny fielding. Spoiling a chance of a runout and gifting the opponent with a four. How is that? Hurting in two ways. The ball seems to have slip from the fielder's hand but no excuses for professional players; you may lose the game for it.

Hit the Stumps but the bells don't come off.

Cricket And Fun - video powered by Metacafe

Shaun Pollock can't believe that. In fact, it's weird because most of the times the bells come out even with a very small impact. Here, however, the batsman is very lucky that the bells stood firm.

Will we see another Tendulkar World Cup Special?

Tendulkar scored a great not out century of the last ball of the innings against West Indies. A bit of luck towards the end to get him to the magical three figures but overall it was a very fine performance by the little master.

Tendulkar fans, there are quite a few around the world, are hoping for another Sachin World Cup special as he had shown in 1996 and 2003. Definitely Tendulkar will be trying to do that and after his recent 41st century it is more likely that will happen. Still to see how he does against Sri Lanka before the world cup and not to forget that he is playing in India and the world cup is in West Indies, I sense something special from him before he retires--a Tendulkar season. I hope that will be the World Cup.

Sahid Afridi Scoring a 12 in Power Cricket

Shahid Afridi First Player To Hit A 12, HUGE HIT - video powered by Metacafe

What is the highest number of runs one can make in cricket of a normal delivery without running? Six? Well, in this video Sahid Afridi scores a 12. That is not in ODI or a test match but in the Power League Tournament. The game was held in a close roof stadium and hitting the ceiling would be counted as a 12.

Cricket Hurts

This is not funny at all. Cricket can be very entertaining but one should not forget the risk the players bear and the commitment they give. Hats off to the players. Someone compiled a good video of hurting cricket moments. Be careful!

Inzamam Out Obstructing the Field

The pressure is always high in India Pakistan clashes. The arch rivals have been involved in great as well as controversial moments. Inzamam getting out obstructing the field is one of the bitter moments considering the spirit of the game. Indian fans will take it though as they got the big fish out.

Inzamam used his bat to block himself from getting hit by the throw of Suresh Raina directed towards the stumps. The ball was obviously not going to hit the stumps but as the Indians appealed, the umpires had no option but to follow the rules and give Inzamam out.

Mathew Sinclair Great Catch

A great catch by Mathew Sinclair of New Zealand on the outfield.

Flying Stumps

A great compilation of clean bowled outs. This is one of my favourite videos and I am sure you will like it very much as well. Any cricket lover cannot refrain from appreciating the flying stumps montage.

Sachin Ducks

Glen McGrath getting Sachin leg before out for a ball that Sachin thought would bounce more and hence ducked down, only to get duck out. That seemed a bit controvertial because it hit Tendulkar on the shoulder but as Sachin was literally on the ground and the ball had not bounce much, it was a good decision.

Tendulkar's First Test Century Against Australia

The great Sachin Tendulkar's first ton against the mighty Aussies when he was very young. His agression and swiftness might have reduced now but still he is the most elegant of all cricketer. That is why he is the most popular cricketer.

Dhoni Controversial Runout against WI

Brain Lara losts his composure when his fielder's assertion that he had cleanly caught the ball inside the rope was not completely accepted and the benefit of doubt was given to Dhoni to continue playing. The environment created was not good for cricket. Dravid declared and also Dhone was given out as he accepted the fielder's assertion to end the controversy.

Sachin Bowls Moin Khan

Sachin Tendulkar sometimes sparks with magic with the ball. He bowled Moin Khan of the last ball of the day in a Test Series in Pakistan. Moin Khan was totally decieved by Sachin's googly.

India won the game by an innings and 52 runs. Sehway made the record 309 runs on the same test, with sachin scoring 194 and 60 not out on the two innings respectively. Dravid declared when Tendulkar was playing on 194. There were some media talks about the issue as well.

Jonty Rhodes' Famous Run Out of Inzamam

The two players featured here are involved in a number of runouts. Jonty is involved in running the opponent out and Inzamam in running out himself and his partner. Here Jonty runs a long distance and slams the stumps to get Inzi out.

Jonty Rhodes Catches

Arguably the best fielder in world cricket, Jonty Rhodes has produced some of the most awesome catches. His fielding efforts are not only elegant for the audience but also able to change the course of a game.

His one day batting record is also very good. Rhodes scored 5935 runs in one day internationals with 2 centuries and 33 half centuries playing a total of 245 matches.

Afridi Pitch Tampering

Sahid Afridi was caught tampering the pitch in Pakistan in a test against England. That was a naughty act by the naughty boy of cricket. He was banned for a test and two one day internationals.

Sachin At Sarjhah Final 1998

Sachin Tendulkar was at his peak when he produced some of the best innings of his life in the year 1998. In the 1998 Coca Cola Cup final, India beat Australia to win the cup. Sachin hit brilliant hundreds in the semi-final and the final of the tournament, both against the Australian team.

Sachin holds the record for most one day runs in a calendar year with 1894 runs in 1998. He scored 9 one day centuries in the same year which is also the highest number of centuries by a player in a calendar year.

Infamous Underarm Bowl

Underarm Bowling In Cricket - video powered by Metacafe
This is the infamous underarm ball bowled by Trevor Chappell of Australia under the captaincy of Greg Chappell against New Zealand in the Benson & Hedges World Series Cup 3rd Final Melbourne Cricket Ground on 1st February 1981. IT was done to avoid the possibility of a six on the last ball of the game. The move was heavily criticized.

Aamir Sohail Vs Venkatesh Prasad

The famous row between Aamir Sohali and Venkatesh Prasad in 1996 World Cup Quarter Final, India vs Pak in Bangalore. Prasad gave a perfect reply to the agressive gestures of Sohail by striking Sohail's stumps.

Mark Taylor Kick Catch

A great catch by Marck Taylor. He actually misses at the first attempt, however recovers well by somehow kicking the ball and being able to catch it. A bit of luck that the ball came to his hands but surely a great presence of mind and great piece of fielding.

Inzamam Hit Wicket

Inzamam has been involved in quite a few runouts and is know for not being a swift runner between the wickets but this is another funny part of Inzi, getting hit wicket out to Monty Panesar. Ohhhh! the spinner was too fast for Inzi.

Zaheer I love you

A Televised Romance - video powered by Metacafe
A very funny scene involving Zaheer Khan. A girl shows a poster showing Zaheer I love you and see what happens.

Sreesanth Reply to Nel

Sreesanth Dance After Hitting Six In South Africa - video powered by Metacafe
Sreesanth had a wonderful 1st test against South Africa on the India's tour of South Africa 2006. He got the man of the match award for his match winning 8 wicket haul. The more catching moment, though, was his bizarre reply to Andre Nel.

In reply to Andre Nel's words after beating Sreesanth's bat, Sreesanth hits a six, the next ball and celebrates with a strange dance, swinging his bat in the air and rotating his body.

Shane Warne's 700th Test Wicket

Watch Shane Warne Picking up the historical 700th test wicket in the Ashes as he dismisses Andrew Strauss.
