Exactly, it's one of the reasons I stopped playing. Way too many people treating Village Cricket like a deciding Ashes test. Don't take it too serious and expect to have the piss taken out of you for doing something like this lad did.
This was absolutely hilarious though, wasn't just an ordinary lbw or nick behind. If it was an normal wicket, then it wouldnt have been an unwarranted reaction, but they all seem to be mates and if you can't see the funny side in something like that as a batsman, you're taking it too seriously. As it happened, he took it like a hero
That's tremendous stuff. Thank you for sharing. You've caught the real spirit of cricket. Wonderful. If I ever have the privilege of meeting you guys the Abbot Ales are my shout. Well done #
Loved the video , it reminded me of my childhood days , i come from Kashmir valley in the foots of Himalayas and the Karakoram ranges . This is what our summer weekends looked like 😁.. there was an apple orchard on the leg side ,a lofted shot into the orchard was given out . My leg side is still week 😂
0:52 I can not agree with his stance it is totally against my mindset but his footwork is beautiful as he connected all the balls and despatched into the fence...
I'm a Brit who taught English in a non-cricket-playing EU country. A native expressed an opinion about cricket being for snobs and pansies. It was just something he'd heard. The following week I took a cricket ball with me, gave it to him so he could get a feel, and then challenged him to try and catch it when I threw it at him. He chickened out. If he'd had a giant leather glove like a softy baseball player he could've just waved his hand somewhere in the general area of the ball trajectory at no risk to his soft white girly flesh. Baseball, now that's a sport for wusses and sissies.
I think it's considered posh because it isn't given much attention in the majority of schools in the UK. The general standard of writing on the subject of cricket is very good indeed. Good luck!
Poor Fellow kind of summaries india defeat in the 2019 world cup semi final against new zealand but why the hell would he were a fencing helmet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what village cricket is all about......having a laugh.

I think the most funniest part was his ice hockey helmet

Village Cricket in India : Third Umpire Review :
Now that is what village cricket is all about brilliant
The Blissful Zombie aye village cricket is a laugh, the ages in our seconds and between 15-50 😂 me being the youngest on the seconds
No wonder he couldn't see the ball with that cage in front of his face. Great game spirit chaps.
Top 10 Batsmen That Could Break Sachin Tendulkar's Record
😂😂😂😂... Surely he can..
He could break Tendulkar's bat perhaps
he is GOAT batsman
😂😂✋
The joyous laughter at the end kills me everytime..and the dismissal of course 😊
That’s funniest two consecutive balls I have seen in ages. thanks for the laughs.
Brilliant banter brilliant spirit
That’s what crickets all about!
The most village thing about this is the fact the square leg umpire is filming it
Not true, he should have a punt instead
2:30 for the magic moment.. rofl
@Aza Boi Sounds like you were that batsman
Thank u
At least he's having a go. God bless him.
Classic! That made me laugh out loud. Going in to bat dressed like Hannibal Lecter...
Stuart broad wouldn't have a busted nose with a helmet like that!
Lee Catermole Stuart Broad is a posh twat
he would have, the chin strap is held on with a single popper, so it comes off in a fight, he would have smashed hos whole face in with it
Hbsb Lkk fuck off state school peasant
I watch this video whenever I'm feeling down
the guy fielding at 2:09 with his hands in his pocket -.-
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He knew what was to come.
£1 fine and buying everyone a round
When ever i felt like i had a bad innings i watch this to make myself feel better
Take guard, check the field, miss the ball, pirouette, take out your own stumps. This made me laugh.
Cricket is such a lovely game. Could play it all day :)
That's tremendous stuff. Thank you for sharing. You've caught the real spirit of cricket. Wonderful. If I ever have the privilege of meeting you guys the Abbot Ales are my shout. Well done #
I wish when i get old, I'd have friends like these.
love village Cricket - always played in such a good jovial manner
Loved the video , it reminded me of my childhood days , i come from Kashmir valley in the foots of Himalayas and the Karakoram ranges . This is what our summer weekends looked like 😁.. there was an apple orchard on the leg side ,a lofted shot into the orchard was given out . My leg side is still week 😂
One in the balls then one off the gloves swinging for the boundry and takes out his own wicket I nearly pissed myself laughing.
what the hell is that helmet?
Adz Dharan it's ice hockey goalie's helmet.
haha why on earth
VOTE4TAJ that's not even a goalies helmet. It's a full caged ice hockey helmet normally only used for under 18's
Taimur Sandhu Thank you for correcting.
It's a hurling helmet, an Irish sport
The best thing I've seen all week!!!
What a Star ⭐️! This guy is an entertainer 👍
Proper cricket.
The biggest fail was at 2:41 when that lad thinks he's actually hitting the stump in with his fist.
Talk about a walk of shame!
I would have moonwalked backwards back to the sheds
Who else saw this on telly and wanted to see if it was real hahah
Me
Me
Yep!!!
I did
yeah
The poor batsman in question has now had 420,931 viewers laughing at his performance.
RUclips recommending me this in 2019
OMG, this takes me back! I'm still laughing after the 20th replay.
Hey, Ump, love the impartiality laughter!😂😂😂
This is what community cricket is all about!!! Love It!!!
0:52 I can not agree with his stance it is totally against my mindset but his footwork is beautiful as he connected all the balls and despatched into the fence...
You kept smiling - cheered me up Mark :)
Club cricket pretty much as I remember it - now if at least half of the players had blinding hangovers then it would be exactly as I remember it.
We solved the hangover problem by playing drunk.
What a legend
The awesomeness of the internet he’ll never be able to forget this moment 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love the way the fielder behind him just stands there with hands in pockets. Village!
*is that Roy Hodgeson at **1:39**?*
of course it is
No, that is there 60-something-can-still-bat-but-is-too-old-to-run guy who always fields at slip. Every village cricket side in England has one.
i saw this on TV haha 😂😂
Same lol
By far the best RUclips video
*Love From Pakistani Irish...seriously I couldn't stop laughing@4 in the morning...Highly recommended For Oscar Award lol*
Im going to your contry sir my xeprans criket.
That batsman must be Canadian/American judging by the hockey helmet and his 'form' :D
I can't stop laughing. Thanks for posting this. I can't remember ever seeing a funnier sport video. Fantastic
Love from Bangladesh... Cricket for South Asian countries is not only a game it's more than a religion... We love cricket so much...enjoy cricket
couldn't stop laughing form the first ball, then the second one... lmaooo
He should play for England D team

This is what called Gentleman's Game!
Wow..whata batsman..🤣🤣🤣..huge respect from India
That's another 2000 views since I last looked - and that was only a couple of hours ago. Well payed Army, well played!!
Sums village cricket up beautifully, great fun ( :
Martin Guptill from New Zealand taking the inspiration today ramming into his stumps.
The whole team is so happy with him! Did they send him to the field just to do what he did?!?
I have never seen anything like this before, its hilarious!!. My 60 year old mum can bat better than that :)).
With a stick of rhubarb (G. Boycott)
M curious, she is left hand or right handed?
propably for runs she needs by runner :P
I read that in an indignant British accent.
Look closely.. I think thats IS your mum
He couldn't see through the bars! Funny video.
2:09 bayblade bayblade LET IT RIP😂😂
1:01 dat running tho
I have never ever seen that kind of out 2:30 in 🏏.
Damn it. I am laughing so hard too
What crops you growing on that square?
live pictures of the Australian cricket team trying to negotiate the swinging ball
Maybe its more like poms trying to face a ball at the body.....punces
@Mrfairchap and you guys used lollies remember? Those in glass houses....
He Passed The Fail Test
Absolute genius mark!
This was so much more fun than watching the IPL :-).
The size of that pitch... were they playing in someone's back yard?
I saw its ad on TV so i've come to see it ;p
same
*NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A GOOGLY*
Got this on my recommendation after 5 yrs, guess am searching to much poms batter
Some midweek net practice might be in order. Fair play he took it in good humour!
I have never laughed so much. This is epic.
I've always wanted to try playing this sport. Only one problem
Im a yank and we dont play it here...well at least i dont think we do.
+Anthony Long It's a good sport and I promise it isnt as posh at it may seem :)
AsboJunior i believe you. Even if it was posh i'd still like to try playing it.
It is considered posh by some in England maybe but rest of the commonwealth people from poor to rich play it.
I think it's considered posh because it isn't given much attention in the majority of schools in the UK. The general standard of writing on the subject of cricket is very good indeed. Good luck!
Geoff Poole might just be Yorkshire but we played it in school
Is the batsman wearing full sleeves t shirt or half sleeves ?
Poor Fellow kind of summaries india defeat in the 2019 world cup semi final against new zealand but why the hell would he were a fencing helmet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what type of helmet is that? (as in the thing on his head, not him as a person)
It's a hockey helmet not for cricket, the guy obviously doesn't play
This is the funniest vid I've seen for a long time!
Does the first ball hit the soapdish?
I saw that coming, the over protective helmet gave it away.
ha ha, so funny, had to watch it several times and still made me laugh
He should have stayed at the non striker’s end!
Literally laughed off the field.
That was hilarious- great banter.
maybe if he could see through that hockey mask he's wearing??
Is that an ice hockey helmet?? I'm sure it is 😂😂
One good smash and that ball will take out them windows
Wow I thought he was young bloke. But after I know he's old man. Respect
Should've worn a dark tinted visor with the helmet & kept it on til he got home lol
One of the funniest dismissals in the history of cricket. Priceless
I tried to hit cricket pitches once in Australia. Much harder than it looks. But to be fair, they couldn't hit my baseball pitches.
Which Camera did you use?
Hope his significant other didn't have to witness that debauchery lolol
i'm confused: was this a cricket match or a 2020 event?
Q. Did he leave the field with one ball remaining?
Great to see the first pommie guy who could hit a ball using an Aussie bat... Kookaburra :-p
It's a new season, there's hope for all of us, then!
My favourite video of all time.
