"This is what cricket players are..." Pretty sure one of those default guys was Art Garfunkel, which, in my heart of hearts, is kind of what I always suspected cricket was.
As an American, Don Bradman is my favorite athlete, because nobody here knows anything about Cricket or Don, and it's always a delight when you get to break down just how absurdly good he was. "Greatest achievement by any sportsman in any sport" is really not an exaggeration.
This man is either the forgotten cousin of Frank Zappa (Zrank Fappa), or Justin and Griffin are progressively ascending toward what Frank Zappa was trying to tap into.
I like how even the game in which you can be the ultimate cricket master is like “Yeah, there’s no way we’re selling out a stadium for a game.” Like come on, Bradman. Have a bit more self esteem.
I didn't expect that my love of cricket and my love of Monster Factory would ever intersect, but here it is and it's everything I could have asked for.
Yes, it's best to watch ALL 13 crickets before watching this. If you don't, you'll just be confused by the plot and mechanics of the story and you won't understand some of the more nuanced character interactions. Watch them in this order Cricket: humble beginnings Cricket: humble beginnings electric boogaloo Cricket: Don Bradman approaches Cricket legends: glory of the cricket kings Cricket legends: revengeance Cricket legends: fall from fame Cricket legends: cricket is unbreakable Cricket: Don Bradman's story Cricket xxx: pleasure and pain Cricket legends: a world in peril Cricket legends: Don Bradman's sacrifice Cricket legends: lovers wrath Cricket legends: universe ending Also, no matter what anybody tells you, DON'T SKIP PARTS!!! Don't watch out of order either.
Some people argue that the manga Cricket: Hidden Chapter is unimportant and skippable because it was created by a third party and is considered noncanon by one of the original authors, but these people are idiots. C:HC adds much needed layers of complexity to many would-be unimportant background characters and it pays off so well during the League Bradman vs. Apocalypse Alliance Arc.
Every few months I rewatch this video and it simultaneously increases my blood pressure and fixes my brain for a few short hours and then I return to earth
I somehow have vivid memories of Jim Johnman from my Australian childhood. He definitely drives a mint condition 80's Falcon and forces kids to sing John Williamson songs at assembly.
I feel like they managed to somehow recreate every British Male celebrity from the 70s and 80s who are still alive right now at some point during this episode.
Alucard Hellsing pretty much. Someone was about to beat his record of runs in a game and he literally refused to run another one and retired on the number before because don bradman is such a legend and he didn't feel worthy of even being on the same level. It's kinda insane tbh. Don Bradman was a god among men. There's a museum in his home town, and in a different town.
the video justin is talking about ("how i bake bread guy") is a video titled "A Non-Baker's Guide To Making Sourdough Bread" by Alex French Guy Cooking and yeah, he's right.

Still don't know the prime minister's name but I know for fuckin sure that Don Bradman is a legendary bloke, thanks education system
@@UpFrogArt to be fair you have like 5 prime ministers per year
Haha. As an Australian this is hilarious to watch.
He's a top bloke. And our national broadcaster's mailing address is PO Box 9994, chosen to match Bradman's legendary batting average.
As an Australian, can confirm that this is every cricket player who was big in the 80s morphed into one man.
it's true boys. take it to the bank.
Can confirm he looks like the chanel 9 sports panel in the 90's
if jason gillepsie dyed his hair...
he looks like he owns a pub in newtown, not gonna lie
Griffin's almost-bestial roar of "DONAALD!" when he got to that wrinkle option, though. That's literally the most intense sound I've ever heard come out of him.
Roughly 8:37, for people who want to find it.

How does a goddamn cricket game have better character customization than Skyrim?

"He can keep an eye on second base and third base." I love that they have absolutely no idea how cricket works EDIT: Then again, who does?
I still believe that every game they just make up the rules and it's the world's most elaborate money-making conspiracy

@@wendtchr Yeah except I think Cricket is older, which is whack. It sounds so made up in premise.
their reaction to "FOUR DAYS???!" is golden bc that's like, the one thing i thought ppl knew about cricket lol
Cricket is a very simple game, where every single action is explained by a word that makes utterly no sense out of context.
Why does Donald Bradman's Cricket Adventure have better beard and hair options than any Bethesda game??
jmcrofts because you can’t add this many options when you phone in everything you publish
jmcrofts because it is the superior game to anything Bethesda could hope to make
because todd howard is scared of hair
In all seriousness; I think it's the lack of cutscenes and actual movement. You have to take a lot of things into account, plus deadlines can hinder a lot
