@MUFC Why are you calling football soccer? Yeah, because you've never even been in the same country as the club you "support", let alone been to Old Trafford to actually "support" the scum. Point being: every sport is only as good as it's fans and cricket with no tests being played and one fan would still be better than football world.
Aussie cricket is all the better because you Kerry. An absolute champion of a bloke and I'm sure a bit of a larrikin. You know it's a good day when Kerry is in the commentary box. I hope we still see you up there for many years to come boss. Always good for a laugh
Amazing story. The scoreboard in the background is of the Pakistan SECOND innings, though. I remember the Asif Iqbal innings not only for his score but for the way he farmed the strike, protecting his lesser accomplished teammates from the bowling over a long period of time.
Classic and fair dinkum Kerry J. O'Keefe from a fantastic era of Australian cricket. The real shame about what Kerry described was that we lost the most scary and frightening bowler of the generation,Jeffrey Robert Thomson. I was watching on tv when soon after lunch Thommo and Alan Turner collided, busting Thommo's shoulder. Skull was also correct in that Thommo had built up to top pace, and the Pakistani batsmen were wishing they were somewhere else. Both he and the great DK Lillee bowled huge amount of 8 ball overs.It was a precursor of a gruelling summer for both of them, many overs between them. Max "Tangles " Walker did much the same. For some obscure reason Australia kept selecting Garry "Gus" Gilmour even though he was patently unfit and very out of form. Hence he bowled scarcely,and went for plenty. Much more could be written from this 76/77 season, the last before World Series Cricket...
Neale Newton well written Neale, I remember the Thommo - Turner collision well. Couldn’t believe how badly Thommo got injured from a relatively innocuous looking incident!!
Holy mackerel, is that a true story. 36 cans is one hell of an achievement. I think they were the smaller cans but still that's close to a carton nowadays and on a plane. Lol. What a machine. How did he get off the plane lol
@@BanksyOz So the story goes,normal sized cans, I believe the boy's on the team were so good in the art of beer appreciation, he probably walked off plane. OZY PRIDE BRO.👍
Is it just me or should the bloody government recruit Skull O'Keefe for ads on government guidelines and advice as more people will listen to skull anyday of the week than morrison as skull just has a really good way of engaging people.
Woke up in jail morning of the state amateur golf tournament, posted bail, took a cab to the course, rented a set of clubs (mine were in my car that had been impounded the night before), borrowed a set of shoes, "procured" a sleeve of golf balls, went out and shot an 82. Now 82 is usually nothing to brag about but under those circumstances it sure was.
@@fudgenuggets405 Ahh yes made my way straight from lock up to the ground to open bowling taking a few wickets too many times still half charged, and 64no is not something to brag about either but under those circumstances and it was a match winning knock kinda is
While it's probably wrong to eulogize these times after all it was unsustainable, in 45 years time what kind of stories will today's cricketers have: We played this epic 6 man fifa competition on a ps5 while the rest of the team all posted a photo on instagram and the winner was the person with the most likes Sad
@@flamingfrancisand he still would be in such a position if sport was more amateur and closer to recreational cricket, other than the corporate structure it is now.
when he was on the ABC calling the cricket, his first season was full of his snickering and crazy laugh, as he told the stories whilst providing excellent, thoughtful commentary, BUT..i have to admit i was one of them- his constant laughing as he told the stories, and in response to others, was really weird and off putting. you really have to hear his laugh to understand how irritating it is/was. anywhoo, the ABC put him on the radio for the next few seasons and gone was his laugh and snicker...even no gaffaws or chortles..all gone, and i have to say, thank goodness. listening to him relate past situations to current, and postulating about what's going on in the game..great commentary. his commentary is similar to that of the Kiwi commentator, Ian Smith - who i'd rank as the best commentator in the game.
"And he made a fatal mistake.... he played for spin." Just too good.
Deep
@MUFC go away, no one cates

@@Smokeyr67 Literally, no one cates.
@@synchc it's called soccer here down Under 👍😀😁😁
"I'll go for the tour" famous last words haha.
"He played for spin" absolute gold.
I've heard this 20 x times and I still can't stop laughing.
💯
@MUFC You have no life!
Same here
He is very good
Who wouldnt want Skull for a mate ?. A true blue Australian and very, very funny bloke . A national treasure .
What does blue Australian mean?
@@bibek6713 it's referring to his testicles. IF you have blue balls, you haven't put on away on the offside for a little while.
@@bibek6713 Fair Dinkum
Brilliant!
Amazing how you always end up bowling first when you have a monster hangover! Been there done that...loads of times!!!
I just develop severe face ache within minutes listening to Skull’s stories!🤣🤣🤣
Douggy's statement in the end is epic
If you watch any videos of Skull, he's bloody hilarious!!!
i never played cricket in my life, i dont know who this guy is but jez he tells a cracking story!
'I'll come for the tour'. I laughed.
'For the tour? Na, straight the tap room....for 9 hours!' I'm in tears!
Aussie cricket is all the better because you Kerry. An absolute champion of a bloke and I'm sure a bit of a larrikin. You know it's a good day when Kerry is in the commentary box. I hope we still see you up there for many years to come boss. Always good for a laugh
What a raconteur!! skull has a good head for story telling!!!!
Skull has got some great stories from back in the day.
Honestly my favourite cricket story of all time.
The classic ‘Frog’ joke just shades this one I reckon. . Only just though ! 😂
Gold, fucking brilliant. Miss the old days.
Tour boys?
“Nah, Straight to the tap room”
"I played in 70s. If you weren't out till 1AM management issued you with a breach notice."
Kerry o Keefe is a funny cricket personality and is a treat to hear him in the com box.
What a *_LEGEND...!!_*
RIP Rod Marsh. ❤🏏
Skull tells the best the stories.
A great story well told
1 of the funniest sporting stories, I could listen to Skull all day.
Oh skull you beauty
Kerry O Keefe sure can tell a funny story !!
if you stay pissed, you will get a fifer....Not just cricket alone, why have we lost the ability to have fun in life ?
Classic , yet true story 🤣👍🍻🏏
I've listened to this about 10 times, and it's better every-time
Amazing story. The scoreboard in the background is of the Pakistan SECOND innings, though. I remember the Asif Iqbal innings not only for his score but for the way he farmed the strike, protecting his lesser accomplished teammates from the bowling over a long period of time.
😂😂Ohhh jeez! He's one of the funniest blokes I've ever heard!
No exaggerated stories of his own greatness at his peak from Skull. Always quick on the draw to give himself a serve!
BRILLIANT.
I dont know why youtube recommends this but damm its brilliant, havent laughed like this in some time😂😂
Best story

Skull channelled his inner Drunken Master moves...
best scull story
17 dislikes? What poor sad sacks. Must be living a miserable life
Pakistanis maybe
@@rishikeshwagh: no, more likely some censorious non cricket tragics
That was brilliant 😂🦑
Lol 9 hours loving it ,skull.
SKULL GOLD..........
Oh that’s to good I know what hung over cricket is like
Amazing! Just amazing 😂
Skull = Legend :)
Ahh the good old days.
Rod marsh still holds the record 4 cans on a flight 2 England, 36 VB'S on a single flight. OZY, OZY,OZY.

just short of 3 imperial gallons ...... they must have had a toilet put aside for him
David boon drank 52 stubbies. Holds the record haha
It was boony who holds the record
Fifer in the 2nd innings got me high laughing. Lamo 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Having a beer nooooooo
Classic!!
I am in fits of laughter with Skulls sensational stories 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Easily the funniest cricket story ever told
OMG...too funny 😁🤣😂
Jesus Christ; Skull makes me die
Classic!
Has to be the funniest man in world cricket
He wasn't so much as a player but he surely played with several blokes who lifted his hair.
He really makes me laugh
Bloody hell Skull
Gold 😎
Is it just me or should the bloody government recruit Skull O'Keefe for ads on government guidelines and advice as more people will listen to skull anyday of the week than morrison as skull just has a really good way of engaging people.
Correct.You just can't wait to soak up what people like skull say next.It's a rare gift.
Compulsory listening!!!!
unbelievable
"He'll get them off me today!!!" :D
F'kin awesome
Classic stuff😂
Top stuff
This man is funny !
Blood alcohol level 0.258! 🤣🤣🤣
Oh man...i was dieing. 😂😂😂😂
He's never been the same after he left the ABC. I suppose working with dills has effected him.
So good
Got to bed at 4:30am the morning of a Grand Final, hit 64no in a premiership win
Woke up in jail morning of the state amateur golf tournament, posted bail, took a cab to the course, rented a set of clubs (mine were in my car that had been impounded the night before), borrowed a set of shoes, "procured" a sleeve of golf balls, went out and shot an 82.

Funny as fuck. That’s how we aussies roll?
"Where we sat for 9 hours"
Wouldn't credit it😂🍻
While it's probably wrong to eulogize these times after all it was unsustainable, in 45 years time what kind of stories will today's cricketers have:
We played this epic 6 man fifa competition on a ps5 while the rest of the team all posted a photo on instagram and the winner was the person with the most likes
Sad
Think his love rolling Stone joke is the funniest he tells.
Cricket is too professional today
Surprising comment given KOK has made a career for himself commenting professionally on professional cricket !!
@@flamingfrancisand he still would be in such a position if sport was more amateur and closer to recreational cricket, other than the corporate structure it is now.
RIP Bacchus
Who's here after Skull recounted this story during the lunch break today? 😂
Absolutely hilarious…surely that can’t be the only piss-funny story Skull has in the bag🤣🤷♂️?
I wonder if today's players, will be able to tell hilarious stories about their time in cricket 😣
Back when you can play drunk without an issue 🤣🤣🤣
You still can
So FUNNY!
Hilarious 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂outstanding
Wonder who thought Jeff Thomson was going to take 7/30 in the match.
An alcholic
So good 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Laugh me ass off,can see how that story can go on any night on the piss and you're going to a wedding next day.
We are always hearing these ditties where Dungog Doug's name crops up....I'll have to read his books and get it straight from the horse's mouth.
hilarious
❤❤😂😂😂😂😂🤟

Ian Smith ... you are kidding right. The most annoying commentator on TV.
And they call cricket a sport. Drunks can flourish.
Go back to sand paper . nearly as bad as your ,,,,,,,
What are you on about Bill???
Don't go out driving yet cobber, there might be an RBT unit around the corner.
Hilarious 😂
