Geoffrey Boycott is 82 years old and sharp as a tack isn't he? He's impressive in that he's absolutely still got his pulse on the modern game.
Massive fan of Boycs. God keep this man save and well.
He's a beauty
Ahhh, it's been too long since I listened to Sir Geoff talking about cricket. His sensible pragmatism has always been refreshing.
Yeah but he’s a brexit supporting white heterosexual male never to be seen on tv again 😂😂😂
He’s an old bigot like most yorkshiremen
I miss Boycott, Bumble, Botham and others from the test match commentary. Its just not the same, its to santised. Most of all I miss Boycott. The hay day is when we had all these Willis, Holding and people like Richie Benaud.
To many ausies on now who don't try and be neutral. While the English ones do
@@jamiematthews2113
I love Boycott’s batting advice. Such a character, and so wise.
Sir Geoff😢 miss your commentary on the cricket / ashes
TMS has never been the same since they got rid of Sir Geoffrey. Replacing him with Ebony was madness. She hasn’t a fraction of Sir Geoffrey’s insight and never will have.
Boycott is simply on another level to any other commentator. When Boycott speaks he does not simply describe the superficial present. He brings history into direct conversation with the present- making the test cricket of the now seem like it is just another chapter in a greater story. And it is rendered more, not less, meaningful for being so.
His other principle virtue (if one another were needed) is the small matter of being almost always right about everything.
Richie benaud was like that, must come with age
Can't believe I'm seeing this legend after a long time
Listening to Boycott is pure theatre as he gives his analysis about players - wonderful contribution
Love Sir Geoffrey Boycott. Great cricketer and brilliant pundit. Could listen to him all day ❤
Really? After his appalling comments just the other day!
Well listening to is marginally better than watching him bat. "Sir Geoffrey Boycott, the man who put nations to sleep"
@@chrisstewart8259 amen to that
He beat up his misses.
We won the 1st test because we didn't have to get Root out.
I see Geofrey is mellowing in old age. I wish he would get off the fence and have an opinion once in a while.
Or put the pads on and show them
😂😂❤👍
:)
😂
Unfortunately, opinions aren't very popular with the bosses.
Sir Geoff is the best. Fantastic analysis, great dry sense of humour. We need this legend back on our cricketing TV screens ASAP
We should have him commentating on the BBC as he’s so knowledgeable and experienced about the Game.
Instead we have to listen to some idiot ethnic woman who doesn't even know the names of the players.
Unfortunately they'd rather employ a woman who nobody has ever heard of who's never faced a ball above 70mph.
@@thescientist2438 Spot on ... totally agree.
Classic Geoffrey!!! His common sense and knowledge is greatly missed!!
He is missed. Good sense of humour too!
Fans are entertained when their team wins.
Focus on winning, and the entertainment will follow.
Sir Goeff speaking sense as always!
On cricket, certainly.
I miss Boycott and Blowers on TMS
And the wonderful Johnners... 'n' Fred.
Can't go on forever.
Our Geoff talking sense as usual. TMS would double their audience if they gave him his job back.
i think people like Vaughany should b in england coching staff..a best thinker in game
No thank u. Dont want rascist people
They should be running the country.
Absolutely spot on from Sir Geoff - As always . I really hope the England team get to listen to his advice . The fans will not care how entertaining the team is - if they don`t win back the ashes . Yes , we want to be entertained - but lets have some common sense and game awareness , too !
I said exactly the same thing as Geoffrey after the last test and got shot down in flames by some of my friends for it. Stokes got away with his declaration because of the exciting finish but his decision cost us that match - we'd have probably won if we'd batted for another 50 plus runs.
Ben Stokes, good cricketer TERRIBLE Captain but a good DRINKER?
The Picasso of cricket commentary. Sir Geoffrey. Can keep listening to him forever
great to hear Geoffery , the best in terms of common sense
Love listening to Geoff. 🙏🏽
Bazbollocks lost the plot when they declared in the 1st test with Root on 119..... he could have help put another 50 and would have been a whole different mindset and who knows the outcome. As an Aussie I thought thanks Ben.
As an Aussie, I have to say that while Stokes is a brilliant cricketer from the same mould as Botham and Flintoff, his captaincy is lacking. This is typical English old school thinking where they make the best player the Captain. It doesn't always work.
Right on the money old chap. First Win, then Entertain. Bazball is full of hubris, playing Golf instead of practice matches, all the no-balls and dropped catches, declaring boldly in the first innings knowing that runs would be hard to score in second innings. the mad rush to hit boundaries instead of playing disciplined cricket etc Too late to fix now but do hope that lessons are learned for the future.
Sir Geoffrey boycott was the best commentator on tv. Loved his negativity. Doesn't sugarcoat anything
Richie benaud was far better sorry.
and he never played the Race Card ......................... he just kept his big mouth closed to it
Good old Geoffrey.
I have the 2005 Ashes DVD set - the roundtable discussion with Geoffrey, Richie,Slats, Greigy etc is priceless.
Richie Benaud's face when Geoffrey says "hit em in the heart, give em some pain"
Yep - "hit em in the heart, give em some pain", that was Jeff Thompson's raison d'etre! He detested English cricketers as pompous, arrogant and were there as target practice just for him. He regularly bowled at 95 mph and has the record for the fastest at just over 100 mph. I think Sir Geoffrey refused to tour Australia so he didn't have to face Thommo. Any comments from Pommyland?
@@chrisstewart8259 Thommo was certainly quick, but didn't have a particularly impressive record.
Suppose it's like a tennis player with the quickest serve - who fails to win a grand slam.
@@chrisstewart8259 Oz is just like my Granny we all know where it is but nobody wants to go visit there
@@chrisstewart8259 Boycott refused the tour because he couldn't stand Denness. Nobody had heard of Thomson before and Lillee [who Boycott had already faced in 1970/71 and 1972] was doubtful because of his back injury, so there was no inkling of what was to follow . Boycott was no chicken against pace, faced Hall and Griffiths, Pollock, McKenzie early in his career and the scary West Indians later as well as the quicks playing county cricket.
I could listen to GB all day talking Cricket.
Mr Boycott gets in spot on again!
Great to hear Sir Boycott voice!!
Boycott has been entertaining us for 60 odd years, im Scottish and we love him here
"He'd av got another 80 if ee a'nt a been sweepin!!!" 🤣 Love Boycs.
I can't remember Boycs talking as much sense as he did here.Still worth listening to!
Beneau and Boycott are the GOATS .
So he thinks England should focus on winning, but wants Australia to apologise for doing the same. Got it.
Trouble with picking bairstow as wicketkeeper is he bats at 7. Therefore most the time he ends up batting with the tail and its a long tail
I remember Boycott playing all day, hard to get out, for 40- 50 runs. Good for insomnia.
If they didn't think he was a benefit to the team he wouldn't have been picked so often - and finished his career with the then world record run total.
Ah but that’s just what we need now to build the innings around then go bazball exactly what Khawaja does for the Aussies
Well said boyks 👍👌results is more important than entertainment
Man this guy is still sharp as hell. On point 100%
Cheers from South Oz Gentleman 🇦🇺👍 if Cummins declares - he might as well not come .
As an Australian, I hated Boycott as a player and I have by doubts about him as a person regarding selfishness but I love him as a commentator and pundit.
Yes. On cricket, he's marvellous.... Let's leave it on a positive note.
2-Blot tomorrow
BoyCot and Edrich were the openers in the early 60s Ashes series in Oz, was a great player for such a boring slow poke!
@@palaneproductions7357
Simpson, Lawrie... 🥴
Best wishes
Hes old school, and i hope people take note that very few spectacular things have been done by the Brits since the Internet. Geoff is an echo of a stronger time
@@realMaverickBuckley
Yes. In many ways, I wish Tim Berners-Lee hadn't invented the blessed thing.
I wonder what old Cholmondely-Warner would have made of it.
🎉 nice one Boycott said with passion lad 😊
Proper cricket talk from the master.
'Bazball', against top class opposition, is a reckless gamble. It draws its approach from the glut of lucrative white ball cricket England now favours and above all else the IPL, where our players risk their test fitness in pursuit of millions. Test cricket's future looks doubtful and greed will conquer.
HARD TO GET THE MONKEY OFF YOUR BACK!
Oddly that is a "common" theme of Management Consultants for 4 decades
A T McKinsey, as they were called now Marks and McKinseys?
Mark Wood should have been ready to play in this game. Would have been ideal for the wicket
He should still be on TMS, the BBC have treated im shamefully.
Looking good, Sir Geoffrey! 🙂
9:06 this aged so well hahaha. Plus Boycott saying winning is all that matters #hypocrites
The Spirit of Cricket is a term that is misused as an excuse when a side doesn’t like the way the Laws of the game are applied. The spirit of cricket was not exercised when the Starc catch was over turned nor was it with the amount of short pitched bowling used by both sides to tail Enders. With the understanding the ball is live until both teams deem it dead, Bairstow was caught out being dozy and displayed it enough times for the Australians to pounce when he left his crease again.
It's a form of political correctness in my opinion for the England team to effectively say that entertaining is more important than winning.
The sort of bloke that England needs to listen to.
Winning the Ashes is all that _Matters_ ? What about the " _spirit_ " of the game Geoffrey(!)
Yeah, we Assues agree Geoffrey. So why all the fuss and crying about Bairstow? Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
He’s right
Quite right Geoffrey. England made an ill advised declaration, batsmen made some ridiculous shot selections, England need a spinner and Bairstow is a poor keeper. As an Aussie let’s hope England don’t change its approach.
Outstanding!
Spot on...
Winning is everything ? but the spirit of the game Bro ?
Why isn't Sir Geoffrey on TMS with Tuffers? He's still the best
health issues
Good Man.
What an outstanding mind!
Absolutely brilliant why isn’t Sir Geoffrey in charge of the test team because if he was England wouldn’t be playing baz ball
Under Boycott the other team would never score and no player in the English team would make a mistake
Boycott is a thing from the past
Could listen to Boycott all day long
Couldn't watch him bat all day though eh? 😴😴😴
@@chrisstewart8259 not so sure about that. A legend
Does Geoffrey understand the word hubris?
100% spot sir Geoffrey
Boycott is a living legend
Why do they even bother ? The ghost of Bradman lives on !
Wow. What a moniker. I'm calling him that from now
So “ winning the ashes is all that matters” then he whinges when aussies take him at his word
England bowled like a circus yesterday
Ah bring back the days of scoring less than 250 in 90 overs, turgid boring drawn matches, series wins dependent on the weather - England have only won the AShes series once in the last 10 years.
Geoffrey after the second test - " Its the spirit of the game thats important "
I don't see it like that at all. For me one sides like South Africa, India, New Zealand, West Indies and Sri Lanka are more than worthy oppostion. I also feel that this obsession with the Ashes can be seen as a little disprectful to those other sides. Of course I get that the privildeging of the ashes is a social construct and if it means more to some that is naturally fine. It is just that I disagree!!
Hypocrisy at it finest.
Excellent analysis.. hope they listen to his advise.. if they do, they still have a chance of a respectable result.. otherwise, these players, other than Root and the two grand old men, are so mediocre and ordinary and with their idiotic approach, a 0-5 whitewash is waiting
Have to laugh at these comments about what England has done “for test cricket”. They are playing that way for test cricket, it’s because it’s their only hope of winning because it’s the only way they can bat after a decade or so of their obsession with winning a World Cup. That are incapable of defence. Just hit and hope that can hit for a while with the bowlers under pressure until they get out with hopefully a reasonable score. The theory is reliant on bowlers and captains panicking. If that doesn’t happen, they’re no chance.
Boycott for PM!
All that "we're entertaining" BS - it's not a circus, It's sport. No one remembers the entertaining loser - spot on GB (from an Australian).
Boycott is wrong - many more people will watch the way that England plays the game and furthermore - if it hadn’t been for the weather we would have won the series too
Why does it say Geoffrey Boycott former England cricketer. It should say Sir Geoffrey Boycott
Boycott is a terrible hypocrite. "It's all about winning" and 5 days later he's criticizing the Aussies for trying to win within the rules. A horrible person. And he was always a boring batsman.
Why can England decide what type of pitch to prepare according to what will give them the best chance of England. Isn’t that called pitch doctoring? Or is that only when brown people do it?
No sweetheart. But have a shiny sixpence and a pat on the head for your trouble.
Cut along now, there's a good oik.
Stick of Rubarb!😁
Block-Block-Block-Block-Block-Block-Block-Block-Block-Block-Block-Block-Block-Block-Block-Block-1--Block-Block-Block-Block-Block Hahaha....... Sir Block, I watched him in ashes tests.
Today he's bleating about the Australians not playing in the "spirit of the game". Make up your mind Geoffrey.
Best pundit bar none
What hes talking about batsman keepers and getting condition etc...
They need to go back to more 1st class fixtures. Give visiting teams some practice and the hosts too.
Winning the ashes is all that matters. Complainers come back and watch this again!
Probably best if England step aside and another country get a go at the Ashes, what they are putting up is embarrassing.
And no writes an article saying it’s not all about winning lol
Well said Sir Geoffrey
The most sensible cricketer ever!
Old geezer says here its all about winning that matters and then nearly has a stroke whinging about how the aussies did not allow boof head bairstow another chance, like in back yard cricket.
Sir Geoff Boycott, please learn to accept defeat.
Get ready to be disappointed...
I think england should have batted
They will win and u guys will change ur tune
