Crickets Greatest Wonders & Blunders Documentary

[Applause] [Applause] hello and welcome to cricket's greatest wonders and blunders i'm matthew hardy what you're about to see is a collection of timeless cricketing curiosities moments you may have forgotten and some that you wish that you had shamelessly laugh at the expense of your favorite cricketers as our usually cool and coordinated heroes embarrass themselves alongside the best of us not a foolish or freakish moment is missed we cover the awesome the odd the off and the awful from the archive of qriket's funniest foul-ups and fortunate moments the run-outs and the rodents the captains and the curators the preparations and the celebrations the mystified and the misty-eyed they're all here in cricket's greatest wonders and blunders [Applause] [Music] cricket it's an odd game so what are the odds of this happening out lily has gone poor well we've had it lily caught willie bowl dilly for the first time of the season lily caught willie bold dilly that's silly and there's a score line which we had all hoped for this season but uh i wouldn't know if dennis lilly would hope for it lily facing dilly and staring the catch to willy it's the type of sentence to make every school kid on earth secretly laugh into their lunchbox first bowl today for gian mubrak no [Applause] you just got to have a giggle watch andrew simons tell michael clark if he shout clipped it pretty firmly in the air hang on if the ball came off both bats before being caught then why aren't the two of the mets there's the nod from the umpire then i'm sorry mate you're on your way here's mark taylor in the slips doing the hokey pokey [Applause] up and down she went that's the end of carl hooper beautiful you put your right hand in you stick your left leg out you catch it third attempt then the batsman's given out can you believe that that is brilliant he didn't panic in the slightest but just flicked it back with his toe that's pretty well done wait a minute is this cricket or kick it [Music] well who messed that up i recommend [Applause] how much does that grandstand love a handstand the old cartwheel never look at this i like it oh and uh that must have been very close to stumps he's knocked the bales off or has he used his hands it seems to me the bales are still on there it may be that he's out handed you know the same plan by maradona one argentina a fifa world cup but watch that again it's pushed down it's going back towards the stumps and yes he handles the ball jimmy arnoth out handling the ball and he gives himself out years of experience off he walks a very disappointed man but a very sporting one so this session is a vital one for the australians as phil simmons has dropped one down on his stumps very close to rolling back onto the stumps he was waving his foot around trying to fend it off it doesn't look like what we can see here if it did actually make contact oh just run down the length of the stumps and fail to remove the bales well you can't be any luckier than that that is the first foot fault i've seen outside of a tennis court luckily you got away with it so phil simmons as we'll see here from stump vision a very lucky man not to get the back healer under the stumps as well [Applause] watch here as we see the curator decide on the umpire's behalf that it's time to stop playing the curator in fact is running on the ground he's um coming out before the umpires i haven't seen this before the actual curator i should add that no cricketers were harmed in the filming of this footage but there was a groundsman who's never been seen again umpire proof has called for a suspension in play a sensible decision by the don't be fooled australia is a great destination for sun seekers and you can bet that the ground staff want to get off there as quick as they can because of you perhaps even a round of golf some protection out there on this day in brisbane mother nature provided the drinks break it was fierce stuff i can tell you the storm that swept through brisbane concentrating itself on wool and gaba and on the cricket ground water anyone lightning was arcing in the stands here it was uh quite sensational but not very pleasant and the rain it just threw it down you've heard of the indian ocean well that's the australian one however when the weather is good it's always a great idea to hang out the washing i think with all obviously with the victor trumpet stand it would have been expensive to build that unless he ran out of money right at the end now this is odd your idea that looks painful is it a chisel or a burger ring it doesn't matter but it's uh having a problem uh i think it's stuck like it's got a hole in it we've got to breathe how many times has your mother told you don't chew with your mouth open well that's over the top there's a man down there this won't be dropped david hooks is underneath it he's out both them out caught by david hooks down on the defect recover boundary both of them trying to repeat the shot played by iran now i'm not saying england's ian both of them or eddie hemmings were getting a bit porky because well somebody else beat me to it well [Applause] there he is he's got the australian flag on this all-rounder had roast beef and this spin bowler had none and this little piggy oh [Applause] he's been put to sleep by the policeman i tell you what he doesn't really want to know [Applause] looks a bit nervous too the policeman down there trying to get a few people around the ground [Applause] geez i've heard of a tail ender but this is ridiculous there's been plenty happening this marvelous what you can do with computers and the electronics these days and you don't see too many suicide rats around cricket has had its fair share of lighter moments but here is a heavy one australian fast bowler merv hughes here merv shows us how to stay flexible keep in shape and court members of the opposite sex playing after the crowd down there we could all take a leaf out of mers book and there'd still be plenty left to read [Applause] it was once said that fielding is largely a matter of focus and discipline unless of course you're too undisciplined to focus oh that's okay you should see him at an easter egg hunt it's the following christmas before he finds one watch him move around look up in the sky is it a bird is it a plane no it's mike hussey wishing he had better sunglasses not good is it because it's going to be on replay and it's going to be shown a lot of times australia's mark war could usually catch a bullet out of a gun in the air not on this occasion and australia lost the test by five runs wars dropped the cash doesn't normally miss those when it's wide it's a very wide delivery gets through mark war too fast i think it hits him in the mid rift here we see australian fast bowler damian fleming on a hat-trick oh he's got him what a magnificent patch another one's gone he's on a hat-trick damien fleming has already got a test patrick got another chance here at the adelaide oval oh one's dropped it can you believe that shane warren who got a hat trick at the mcg has dropped the hat-trick catch maybe someone should have warned him well shane warne will be distraught great mates with damian fleming here are some kiwis showing they really are flightless birds chance dropped him well then what would prove to be their worst ever test defeat really was a set of morrison got the edge from tail and he put it down a third sweep edged and dropped second chance going down off morrison proof that drop catchers lose matches a cut shot they're hard to pick up at first live because they are played so late that was a tough one for great bats not to be outdone pakistan dropped five on the opening day of this test match hooked on dropped would have been a terrific catch including michael slater three times he got a good piece of it and watch malik there right off the ground [Applause] oh and uh that's gone straight to gully and he's put it down what a blow there we go just to his right slightly and he was snatching at that one all right and they've dropped another one well that must be so so disappointing for that young man very good length he's brought to slater ford caught the edge all that gear that's a drop catch a bit of flight and just enough turn to catch the thick inside edge and really should hang on to those particularly off your own bowling there is he's got him he's dropped it can you believe that five today it was there he balled it wide wall was a little bit tentative he slashed at him it was a setter and it wasn't put it down geez there's more drops here than there are in the ocean england captain graeme gooch described this 1991 92 ash's side is the worst building side i have ever been in perfect line from devon malcolm and graham goodson his final test match puts him down good to see him making a contribution and dropped not so much of a keeper as a sleeper so england really have made a mess of it uh in the catching department it's close he dropped it a big let off for mark war and big disappointment for willis and england so just how bad were they asked devin malcolm in the air got it always rocked it that is unbelievable it really was a lollipop back to devon malcolm and uh he dropped it then looked around didn't know where it had gone have another look at it well it's a really wild slash on the up from michael slater doddled back it was a little cuckoo actually shouts of catch and it's devin malcolm and uh has he got this one evan malcolm i'm sure he has eye trouble judging by the way he tried to take that court and bold i really misjudged that one badly i think michael slater thought for a moment that he had caught it and has now he stopped it oh big deflection there went flying in the direction of roads and it seemed to me that he got his glove to it [Applause] okay devon here's some footage which will make it up to you now he's giving him angel is gone might have been a misfield but it was a brilliant recovery from the big fast bowler his catching may not be all that good but he's just removed joe angel we certainly can't see the ball and he can't feel very well and he can't catch very well but he can definitely throw that cricket ball and fast but never let it be said that england don't get right behind their bowlers fraser oh he strikes it off except of course if it's darren gough that was in the air for so long angus fraser got himself in a tangle down there the sun wasn't in his eyes that's for sure [Applause] down did it carry i think yes is the answer from darren gough i have no doubt it carried catchers win matches england keep this up they got no hope when it comes to poor fielding this west indies side really takes the cake we could keep her again that's got in the way of brian lara disinterested and distracted they combined indifference and lack of effort to great effect yep well that was quite an interesting bit of fielding by the bowler there and the ball hit back at him he normally would have just bent down and picked it up that's a bad mess [Applause] thank you richie just uh a few figures on that um these um good shot dropped him important bowl chance but we've got to take those i know fielding saves runs but here the west indies saved running it's been terrible today the feeling of the west in new zealand shepherds mentioned it once or twice i get through here too two extra runs so it's great running a terrible figure by the west indies it's not well it's a half smile i can't believe it michael i don't believe it it's well born well played that's true again that'll be four more the guns flowing here together the attacking field taylor and slater finding the gaps and that's a rather set stomach which was a coincidence because most of his efforts have made england's fans sick this is mccaig again yes mckay very unhappy and uh not surprising not surprisingly either that one uh was again a bad delivery just helped on its way down the fine leg what do i do now and when mccaig picked up the bat their stomach ache did not improve oh there goes the house new yorker queen bowl neck and crop mark mccaig so what a fascinating day's play here at the gabba at six for 133 still quite a bit of time to go but uh the australians are moving fairly swiftly now shane worn six for 69 from 46 losing the test match disappointing hey by the way new zealand can yogi bear have his clothes back i i am lost for words what is that well i'd suggest that uh he's saying i'm colin miller hey bolt on the morning of this test match australia's colin miller had courtney walsh seeing blue i think courtney courtney while she's laughing you can't believe it i've never seen that in a test match he's coming down i think he's peeling against the reflection off the head while the crowd are roaring here at the sydney creek ground i wanted to make sure it's colin miller the thing is miller's nana now wants to know where her hair rinses going [Applause] okay that's close that time he's got him playing back the indian captain not happy saying that he may have hit that what's going on he's saying please please what a tour travis suggesting that he got a thick edge onto that delivery the man who's walked so often this series very annoyed with that decision yeah it's an annoyed man and he's still not prepared to not prepared to leave the ground here's a first india's sunil gavaska who was on strike now wants to go on strike and he is telling chauhan to stay there and sending vensaka out so that that's a good move there on behalf of the manager of the indian side and it's a very upset gavaskar who leaves the ground here we see england's chris broad go out and then make doubly sure of it took his eye off the ball and it's one very upset english opening batsman conference between jones and the umpire now i think what uh he might have asked for is the sweat band off curtly's right hand now empire peru has um a difficult task here he has to convince curtly ambrose who's six foot eight that he's to take off the sweat band on his right wrist before he bowled dean jones says he only asked curtly if you could see his charm bracelet and ambrose took it the wrong way that could generate an extra yard or two from curtly i would think in fact he took five for 32. very very swift delivery cuts cuts beautifully off the back but this is going down the hill this will go all the way never short of a word shane warren explains to england's paul collingwood how determined he is to make it into a cricket wonders and blunders show and there's banner going on between collingwood and ward making me concentrate more you're making me concentrate good call warney [Applause] for many cricketers there's nothing quite like hearing the sound of leather on willow unless of course your dennis lilly dug out by dennis lilly with his aluminium bat which he's using today used the wood one yesterday but uh has come out today now with that new aluminium bat of his well it certainly drove that one pretty well and the long chase here for david gower well a bit of a better way lily had obviously been keeping all those empty tin cans for a reason but recycling is not always appreciated dennis i'll be breathing the batsman may have made seven runs off one ball but it looks like he needs 40 winks to recover from it all he's almost down and out but he's managed seven the ashes of mustaches ian botham versus merv hughes this is here it comes straight down the ground just below the commentary box on the roof my goodness what a shot he's hit the ball into the commentary box now let's throw a microphone onto the pitch and see how clive lloyd likes it i hope these windows are shatterproof i don't know if he's aiming for some of those pressman in the press box or not tony that's a that's one of the biggest hits you'll see that's a magnificent hit someone tell neil armstrong to duck and this full house they're loving it that's as good as you'll see we're gonna go i know the cricket comes live via satellite but that's bounced off the thing here rod marsh was told to get a handle on things and simon o'donnell needs to be told to get a grip why is that down the bat that's what happens when you try and smash it out of the ground every board i hope he's not accused of throwing his innings away but you just got to hope there's no forward short leg in position [Applause] zip that one away down towards uh fine leg and uh it will get to the boundary and he decided to have a go there yeah i don't think uh gal would even be aware that lunch was due i mean how unaware can one man be that's ridiculous isn't it the top class player he's got over 8 000 runs at 4 for that the boy in the park wouldn't fall for that his trap was set one ball to go goes again that's even better that oh superb and is superb and it was such a controlled shot he wasn't wasn't over swinging at all [Applause] he's got length line i think he's got panacea under control what will the young fellow do pressure situation for him [Applause] that one not quite as high as the other two that was hit and flat and smart to adam gilchrist hitting with the with the draft you've got three men from midwicket to mid on on the fence makes no difference that's the best of the lot 24 from the over three sixes and a four to finish it off and the crowd are going off lucky for monty panissar there'll be no on-call performance that's not just in the first row of seats that's in the second row [Music] [Applause] umpires provide us with summer cricket's finest blunders but it's only one true wonder has to be the incomparable billy bowden [Applause] on this day billy is actually reminding his wife at home to hang out the washing here billy's playing charades now let me guess uh it's a movie two words uh something about pirates strawberry raspberry oh almost on the ground up an edge wait for the call that's five foot he's cool hey hang on billy it's only gone halfway you're gonna get can't even get two for that billy's weight four i've heard of bowlers giving runs away but not an umpire [Applause] gone for it wasn't an edge i don't think so [Applause] this is the one bloke in the world that i'm confident would walk when he hits it australia's adam gilchrist is usually keener on a walk than most household dogs so if he hesitates to walk you know there's something amiss silly billy [Applause] but thanks to umpire mel johnson he went on to score 79 runs not the greatest run i've seen taken and bob willis picked that ball up what a beautiful throw not bad for a man who was more out than in and oh dear you can make up your own minds from that picture jeff lawson facing michael holding australia's jeff lawson was so relaxed at the bounce too much bounce it back oh he's giving him gotcha it's a dreadful decision that is a dreadful decision have a look at this just watch the movement and then the bounce it's obviously very high a strange one i think everybody just let it pause then let it go because everyone just thought he was going to be too high and say not out but suddenly the finger came up [Applause] that i think is taking the outside edge [Music] i'm not sure and in fact there's a shake of the head there from the court that's the one caught at mid off and it's a no ball umpire orchard is standing there with his arm outstretched steve warr is 20 meters from the crease now justin lang has caught his attention and he's been called back what an unbelievable run here for steve war the barmy army has cost england this wicket there's too much noise out there no one can hear a thing the wicket before this one the outside edge if the slips weren't sure of the edge why should the umpire be sure no one appealed no one heard a thing this comedy of errors there's the outside edge the bat going back foster knew something had happened but wasn't convinced first no catch then no ball england couldn't buy an apple from this orchard and with that joke i'll walk too [Applause] [Music] at some stage in their career every cricketer gets the chance to be a hero steve wore on 98 the final ball of the second day's play with a final curtain looming steve wore's hiccuping career required nothing short of a century to survive you're not you're not that's what chapel must be thinking after this delivery getting a standing ovation from the members and one could only feel for this man what must be going through his mind australia's greatest batsman and the best batsman we have ever produced and what's on everybody's lips at the melbourne cricket gram with a young man who clearly wants his duck back there it is the policeman's got it and a little cheer from the crowd as he takes the friendly little duck greg's form was plucked during the 1999-2000 series india's agit agar car made enough ducks to start his own shooting gallery another one's gone he's got a hat trick he's gonna have to face the music [Music] you can see the tenseness written all over his face brett lee at the top of his mark too many ducks on the scorecard he's a good cricketer this fellow he'll be wanting to change things here one two three four six slips oh and another oh he's walking he's walking well there we go that is incredible he cannot do anything right with the bat four first ballers in a row this is not a good feeling and uh well now spare a thought for this plug four first ballers in a row he's coming out there absolutely wide-eyed looking down the barrel at five in a row doesn't he look tense right well this will be very interesting we'll try and keep close up on the eyes of this young man this is a not a great experience but his eyes are going to open up wide that's for sure can he get out of this horror trot four first ballers in a row and the aussies want the fifth well done he's let it go [Applause] well left very well left just wide outside off stuff for a minute again [Applause] he's caught behind sounds five ducks in a row oh this is so sad negotiated the one that mattered then nick this one straight through to the keeper big deflection and glenn mcgraw has got him well that's five in a row in both innings for glenn mcgrath and this is a sorry site but hey at least he's consistent five ducks in a row [Applause] [Music] secure your box and insert your earplugs here are some sorry moments with even sorrier jokes left has hit border in the face i think it's got him on the side of the cheek certainly a man without clothes is given the cold shoulder we don't know at the moment if it's a boy or a girl streaker it's a boy a boy it's a boy rich well he could have done some injury to andrew simons there because he seemed to run straight at him and all of a sudden he was on his back well they finally found some common ground having decided the test match was getting a little flat australian fast bowler dennis lilly asked javed me and dad for a dance hello hello and has his dance card full already and he politely declines but lily won't take notes gracefully it really is absolutely stupid i cannot understand lily actually asked for that he encroached upon job at me and dad's line and we very nearly had ourselves a fight on the ground javed mandad prepared to go around him lily moving across into his way now remember driving me and dad's out of his crease there desperate to dance watch here as lily shows us a bit of the sidestep shuffle and and you can see you're there aiming a kick at uh jarvan miandad and uh me and dad aiming to hitler the bat in the final test match of the series against australia south africa's captain graham smith breaks his hand and retires hurt well he's a tough man and he immediately showed the pain [Music] only to courageously return and push through the pain barrier in the hope of saving the match now wait a minute wait a minute what's happening graham smith is coming out the back a series that has gripped us from first to last continues to do so the drama is by no means done this is a mighty figure one of the great men of the modern game and sydney is standing to him and the sydney crowd really appreciating graeme smith's courage to come out and back for his country the captain leading the front lock he has all series his right arm is the problem that's the one that grips the back macdonald now and he survives the pirantini unbeaten with 16 is on strike to doug bollinger oh and he's actually dropped in you can't credit this no every picture tells its story after this over three overs at each end or 26 minutes wow this is unbelievable [Applause] played very well played it will hurt it will have really hurt but it is magnificently well played one more left in this over smith survives it staggering scenes at the sydney cricket ground is nine for two five seven remember that bottom hand is broken [Applause] [Music] mitchell johnson well bold and well done to graham smith you can't help but feel for granted smith there went out there and gave it his all he may have a broken hand but he's no broken man finally for a joke that really hurts watch here his final leg becomes a broken leg it's quick and he knocks it forward wow it's not happening from england we're all careful and he's in trouble oh it's jones too speaks good caught oh dear dear doesn't want to see oh the right knee goes four but he's in a lot of trouble and england's in trouble as well 139 for one he's been the wicker taker so far let's hope they get better the jokes and the bones [Music] it's the first ball of the ashes series and england fast bowler steve harmerson is about to send a warning to the aussies that the english mean business whoa why don't we be taking a slip by the skipper the nerves are showing already they might need four slips to catch this oh usually the ball going to second slip is a good thing remember mckenzie saying to me once when he bothered a little bit like that we're nerfs as well as a batsman oh he's got him that one's curled around his legs like a hungry house cat at teton it's actually hit off stop [Applause] when bowling in cricket the number one rule is to remember to bowl the ball he's stuttering all over the place halfway up his run-up he's putting in three or four little ones oh there he goes again he's in all sorts of trouble this is really a worry for england the fastest bowler losing his concentration and his confidence the second morning of a test match harmerson's having more false starts here than a second-hand lawnmower there's a good example of him looking at the bowling crease and thinking oh no i've got it wrong eyes are down there he's uh he's just got to stop doing this he's got to look down the pitch at the spot where he wants the ball to land spectacle-wearing murray bennett could barely see the stumps beautifully and isn't murray bennett excited judging by the way the crowd reacted bennett figured vivid either hit a six or he'd taken his wicket the best balls you will ever see bald luckily it was his wicket where he would have looked like a right idiot a great breakthrough for australia brian lara's been boulder maiden over before but he hasn't been bowled over by a maiden oh and there's a big appeal there so i think that's his buddy i'm sorry he's got him [Applause] this is curtly ambrose serving up a 17 ball over that's almost as many deliveries as santa claus on christmas eve we've had to go that one no ball called and so there's no point in trying to catch that one again [Applause] [Music] right he's round the wicket to him now this would be a nicety angle for ward [Music] right behind it again we'll play well that's got to be a no ball yeah way outside the return crease the back foot there was uh not just touching it it was way out of it [Music] that's better whoops and again no idea where that one's gone [Applause] way over the top of cover point bouncing down towards the fence will it get there probably just in fact it's just short of the rope so that's the over so far legit legitimate balls all over the place it's going to be a long over for him oops and he's in him again no ball [Music] four to go [Applause] he's gonna go that one and uh that's another legitimate delivery i'll end up getting three here [Applause] [Music] well he went for that time but it was a bit wide and another no ball and what's more he's at a goat at the weekend it popped out of his hands they're obviously all getting pretty tired out there at the moment no ball called again [Music] [Applause] this is getting a bit farcical oh and uh warren backing away and saying sorry sorry sorry [Applause] oh we went for the next dumb well hopefully one ball to come [Music] [Applause] again he's hit that one through the offside field it's running away down towards the fence and extra cover it'll go all the way for four and what's more it's another no ball [Applause] [Music] and that one's through to the keeper well that's the end of a marathon 13 minutes it took him it's eight for 167 [Music] that over did not do curtly justice so let's watch a spell that would put bewitched to shame appeal there yes he's got the little inside edge war doesn't look too happy about it just a little glance down the wicket shouts of catch it and richie richardson the captain has done that and once again curtly ambrose does the job for his skipper and a shout he's got in first ball so ambrose is now on a hat-trick [Applause] edged and straight to brian lara so that's three on the trot now for ian healy as australia lose their sixth wicket it's in the air could be out athens running with the ball he should catch this he does ambrose gets five big mers by him down the ground that was a fine catch great fast follower has australia on the rocks here at the wacker he's got another one he's got six for one what a magnificent spell the half ball he's there for his flight to second swift this is one of the best efforts ever at the whacker it's seven for one he's got another one what a spell magnificent bowling australian nine for 104 angel out for duck [Applause] in cricket as in life there's nothing quite like the embarrassment of pulling up just short of the man gucci's wife there with the dark sunglasses i would reckon one of the most nervous individuals on the ground grim gulch has got 99 [Applause] he's off for it he'll have to hurry graham gooch run out for 99. what a disaster oh my goodness for grim goats that was really disaster throw from kim hills and graham goach run out for 99. it was a last fraction of a second decision by gooch here england's graham gooch falls inches short he's gone by a matter of inches just one away from a century no wonder his wife looks disappointed what sadness there so he's still on 99 and also back on strike just because you only need another run doesn't mean you invent one and he goes big chance yes he'll be out hit the stumps he's run into his non-striking partner and he's run out in 99. there are times i can hardly believe what i've seen and this is certainly one of them fancy going for that and fancy doing that i mean the situation was already dire and then he's brought undone by friendly fire [Applause] oh it's a run out miles out he kept coming and that's the end of laura if you're a tail-end batsman when brian lara says jump you ask how high you do not stand still and ask him what he was yelling come come come by that stage brian lara gave it away australia has brought england to their knees before but in this case they were literally down and out big question what's going on in the stumps has he run out i think he's been thrown out whatever this will be an interesting dismissal this is going to be o-u-t out forget bridget that was another entry in great jones diary jones that's a duck and he's run out here lenny is daydreaming and the indians start screaming wake up lenny and there's a strike at these stumps there uh pasco looking towards the umpire and he's been run out my goodness there's a big appeal for lbw the ball is going down leg side pasco is more worried about uh whether he's given out or not ben sucker is the only one concentrating on the ball hits the stumps and lenny pascoe is out run out now it's time for tough as the duffer oh there's a mix up [Applause] oh my goodness gracious me you would not believe that that was possible he got so excited how to make something easy seem hard lesson one all the time how to make something easy seem hard lesson two taking his eye off the ball oh my goodness here is south africa's own superman jaunty rhodes taking flight sometime not interested in could be run out and jonty rhodes has demolished the stunts and empire buckner has given him out the flying leap with pike in was hit on the pads he was looking for the single and lumbered down the wicket imran was never interested jonty rhodes knew there was a chance decided not to throw other than himself he gets there first and wipes everything out live it's hooked away there's a man down there that's safe falls in off the fields in the deep square leg 20 coming back for the second steve warsaw away this will be quite that's very close recall for the photo here yes does darryl here this could be a tragedy if he's run out warwick's confident i've heard of england's footballers protecting their middle stump with two hands but not cricketers oh dear has he knocked it away from the stumps there we can't see
