Learn To Bat Like Chris Martin #Video Out Now!#

[sridharakella1995]

He was a magnificent batsmen. 

[TheDeathuzer509]

he is a awsome bowler though

but he is shit Bting

[MrGran007]

Haha funny when he faces fast balls at Short length. He can't hit the ball

[kusakalol]

i bowl fast and want to get into state but cant because of my batting like CHRIS MARTIN

[abraxee]

Last shot actually looked quite good...

[MrSpitzHD]

Funny thing is..If he batted in local grade cricket, he's probably bat fairly well. MAybe not first grade, but 2nd or 3rd perhaps.

[sydneymassive]

@MrSpitzHD no he wouldn't

[MrSpitzHD]

@sydneymassive Yes he would. He faces 145+km/h and can still manage to block them a bit. Against 120km or less he'd play easily.

[sydneymassive]

@MrSpitzHD no he wouldn't

[MrSpitzHD]

@sydneymassive Find me his batting stats from when he played grade cricket then.

[sydneymassive]

@MrSpitzHD how about you do that

[MrSpitzHD]

@sydneymassive Because I don't really give a rats ass. You're the one constantly disagreeing.

[MeAgain998]

@MrSpitzHD he wouldn't though, he'd still only average about 10.

[MrSpitzHD]

@MeAgain998 I play in 3rd grade and the bowling isn't that incredible. The pace as I already said is maybe 120km/h, not much quicker and the pitches are easy to bat on. I'm a bowler no.11 and I average 8. I'm pretty damn sure he'd be a hell of a lot better than me and most 3rd graders.

[nolee375]

Thumbs up if you thaught this was about Coldplay's Chris Martin.

[cricket4life45]

chris martin is a better batzmen than sachin tendulkar

[OJLindsay]

honestly i think he bats worse than wat they shwd then!

[behappyproductions09]

highest score he ever made was a 12! lmfao

[aflumpforever]

ahahhahahah

[Razor1262]

At least he takes it like a champ

[MrGetthefuckup]

HAHAHAHAHA



[ThyJovan]

Sad thing is that's my actual batting grip.. and I do not bat like Chris Martin. At all.

[kaosmaster]

Glen McGrath and Chris Martin should make a 'How to bat' video just for laughs :P

[guiletheme3]

@kaosmaster lol yes that would be amazing

[DestroyBieber1]

Still better than me...

True story

[eviltide]

hahaha this is awesome. Good on ya Phantom, you're a champion. Actually he is terrible because he has some sort of eye problem doesn't he?

[robsterlobster01]

He could probably open for Australia with that technique...

[airasiax]

@robsterlobster01 more like his own side after their display on the weekend.

[MsPacMan723]

He is a top bloke. Hand on my heart.

[FisherSaints]

Because, like Chris, it's out now. Lol at grip and shoelaces as well

[RsDumbledore]

LMFAOOOOO 3 RUNS IN 4 INNINGS NOW. LOLOLOLOL

[dwarfy1]

As I watched this video:

49.4

Lyon to Martin, OUT

CS Martin c Starc b Lyon 0 (10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

ROFL

[mrwelsh23]

thumbs up is the cricket show brought you here

[louwar96]

i like it at 0:26 he is looking at the pitch like there was some massive deviation onto his stumps



[tommyandrewd]

watching the test match Aus vs NZ just survived a whole over, but I put that down to shit bowling from Starc

[NZrukus]

Rumor has it now that he has 200 test wickets, he is going to practice to bat for the 20/20 team. Mumbai have their eyes on him

[brightonbumpkin]

Phantom is my batting inspiration. Why hang around out in the middle when there is tea to be drunk and cakes to be troughed?

[trex0021]

M 61, INN 89, NO 46, RUNS 109, HS 12*, AVE 2.53

[WorldSacred]

Do New Zealand declare their innings when Martin is going out to bat, or do they let him bat, just to soak up a few more minutes (hoping that he stays at the non-striker's end)?

[HSimon1981]

learn how to stay pinned in your crease while your middle stump is knocked out of the ground LOL.

[ThePakibro786]

i Thaught it was Kameria or Asif @ pure Number elevens

[TheSteed100]

his highest score is 12 not out he must fear bowling attacks around the world he should open the batting for new zealand

[TheRooster94]

He would have been Australia's top scorer in the last Ashes

[ColdHardGaming]

@TheRooster94 Thats mouthy

[JacobLi123]

@TheRooster94 It's funny because Australia's worst batsman scored more runs than him

Yes I understand exaggerations but they have to have SOME truth behind them

[TheRooster94]

@JacobLi123 It's called a joke. Belongs in the same category as the guys who say stuff like "He must be an all rounder since he faced 8 balls yesterday"

[JacobLi123]

@TheRooster94 What has Australia ever done to you? Can't bear to watch good cricket?

[TheRooster94]

@JacobLi123 Dude, I'm Aussie. Just admit we played like shit against the Poms.

[JacobLi123]

@TheRooster94 Oh ok then lol

But truth to be told we probably did just a little better than 32 test ducks

[Roarlover34]

@TheRooster94 i'm an aussie and i completely agree with you there haha

[DuhAsainGuy]

@TheRooster94 LOOL

[jimmyupfronthaha]

CHRIS MARTIN -LEGEND!!!'

[jimmyupfronthaha]

CHRIS MARTIN -LEGEND!

[rienzied]

we salute Chris Martin's 100 runs in 86 innings... good on you Chrissy aka the Walking wicket

[thelostpiranha]

He got out just as I was watching this video. True Story.

[18th Jan 2011]

[dkscotland]

from his cricinfo profile - Getting Martin out is as difficult as making a cup of tea and often takes less time.

[WhatElseExceptNature]

@dkscotland Oh my god I just READ THAT HAHAH before watching this video. I was watching the Pak vs NZ match and people were talking about Martin's batting a lot so I clicked on his profile and read it through, then went on google and searched "chris martin batting" haha I just read that what a coincidence

[hitesh012]

He'S GOT THE CENTURY!

[jaztar24]

he played first test ten years ago and he's made 97 runs, how good is that!

[RUKUSNZ]

haha its out now! he had twice as many wickets than he did runs when he played in India this year and took that real nice 5 wicket haul... funny ! but he has been consistant for NZ pace in tests. His lack of batting has seen him left out of ODI and 20.20

[WhatElseExceptNature]

@RUKUSNZ You got that from cricnifo didnt you ;)

[im8teennow]

Id rather learn to sing like Chris Martin.

[mrman890]

they all seem to be the same dismissal :L you think mcculum, taylor and vettori could of taught him a forwad defence :L

[SatansLoveChild88]

Chris Martin makes Glenn McGrath look like Bradman.

[stylezofom]

the video won't help you. Chris Martin's batting is pure talent.

[rhynokav]

haha, he is a hero in new zeland, he got a standing ovation the one time he hit a cover drive for 4

[harryfergus11]

@rhynokav remember that, against bangladesh too

[rajneeshkrishna]

cricinfo

[CricketGirl08]

Coming all the way from Cricinfo!

[thehotburrito2]

brulliant

[surdygr8]

[mayankt2007]

[mayankt2007]

@ColdWarKid66 meee lol! funny one though!

[vicky9909]

@ColdWarKid66 meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Bisharoeli]

@ColdWarKid66 same here

[Vanagew1]

Unfortunately Chris Martin's batting style can be applied to New Zealand's entire top order from 1-6.

[casio214]

good old pulp sport with bill and ben, first few seasons were awesome. today on Mc Kay-Vor

[PtAuVish]

LIKE IF CRICINFO BROUGHT YOU HERE!

[thelostpiranha]

What a sport he is.

[simonacomb]

That is brilliant!  Harsh, but true...

[vishyguitar]

LOL

[chuckatmica]

Haha, what a sport!

[ParisAvenue2005]

Haha :D i laughed :)

[reubenw59]

lol he's a good cunt for taking part

[forthetroll]

im suprised they got him to do this.

[99Nemesis]

pulp sport is too good

[ANGADACCTS]

IF CRICKET IS A RELIGION THEN OUR SACHIN TENDUKAR IS GOD..........US SUCK darthlewis1

[vicky9909]

@ANGADACCTS that's called sarcasm mate !!!

[pradeepanzin]

Awesome

[narnia230392]

i can bat beter and im not that good

[MeZaval]

ahahahaha absolute gold

[narnia230392]

whats the point of him useing a bat he doesnt know how 2 use 1

[aeyiamrutty10]

hahaha, this is gold

[vladtepes97]

secrets of his signature footwork

[campbelltheteddy]

nothing wrong with sucking at batting

[ELBLUNTODASMOKER]

If NZC was not such a bunch of butt bandits we would have our true best players representing us, instead of a bunch of brown nosers.

[dnur567]

he actually hit harbhajan for four in a recent test between australia and nz in 2009 in NZ, and he is a dangerous bowler too

[SumFallGrace]

Umm..How can he have hit Harbhagan for four in a match between Australia and NZ?

[dnur567]

sorry lol, I meant an India v NZ test match in NZ around march 2009 :)

[SumFallGrace]

Fair enough. Na, I think this bloke is a great bowler, just lacks what the tail enders sometimes have - fight. Aus vs NZ in NZ soon, looking forward to that.

[pras003]

@dnur567 haha fail

[jarrethcutestory]

Its Rigour during the commentary

[jubziii]

lol wher can i get one of those?? :P

[LukeDylanandSonInc]

sounds more like grant nisbet

[nik3887]

Cracked up when I heard the commentator say "that's it, bowled!" at the very end. Sounded like Mark Richardson.

[HungryJack87]

If he's not prepared to get his body behind the line of the ball like McGrath learned to do, why doesn't he at least swing the bat like Ntini or Murali? He would probably double his average if he tried that.

[gorgeousjai]

LOVE IT. have a laugh its the best remedy!

[zacharylisle]

lmao

[dinnersd]

im actually chris's cousin and he takes batting very seriously , so leave him alone , u guys r so mean. BTW WTF is with them bowling spin to him all the time . FUKIN BOWL PACE AT HIS FACE !!!

[menec4]

And im his dad...

[pianoman2121]

Woohoo! Duck number 28! Come on, Chris, give your lower order guys some support! :)

[suicidaljoyride]

He does have the most pairs though...

[gingerjames86]

Ha Ha Genius!!

[Thriller145]

lol thats good he is prepared to have a laugh at himself

[pilotmonkey]

Gotta love the guy, prepared to have a good laugh at himself.

[KahluaWRC]

Lol he just got another duck against Pakistan. #1 fan!

[HarlequinCap]

He got 1 not out in the second innings. Am I right in thinking that's a career best against Pakistan? Well done Chris!

[nskaile]

HHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAH

b/w why NZ people dont support their Cricket team like they use to???

[Thriller145]

its a joke

[nskaile]

wht is joke? Cricket????????????

[MrVaepOr]

"like chris its OUT NOW!"

HAHAHHA LOL

[TheGreemSim]

Now that he survived 13 balls against Sri Lanka he can aspire to being an all rounder.

[vicky9909]

@TheGreemSim all rounder ??!! i taught he was already a legendary batsman

[metalandcricket]

haha, that is a great video

[ryancardno]

he did cream muralli for a 4 last time they played

[darthlewis1]

his top score is twelve and his average is 2.28 lol

[langdon04]

12 not out i might add

[darthlewis1]

lol

[TheWordOfGod777]

Mere child,

I must inform you that Chris Martin does infact have a batting average of 2.32, you stand corrected.

[darthlewis1]

he's better than tendulkar

[vinnyloid]

thats rude.....get some life....

[vicky9909]

tendulkar will be elated to be mentioned in the same sentence with chris martin... LoL

[HeavyVerbzz]

@darthlewis1

lol

[tonelson1987]

Are u mad?to say like that....................

[rdsg1985]

@darthlewis1 even the whole nz team's record can't be compared to sachin..

[darthlewis1]

@rdsg1985 did you think I was being serious?

[harshaglb]

@darthlewis1 be in a limit.. tendulkar is god of the cricket

[india54for10]

@harshaglb haha fuckoff

[3HHBKY2JPHENOM]

@darthlewis1

Loving the sarcasm!

[JewishWarrior69]

@darthlewis1 easily

[SlashROCKS53]

I actually saw him play a hook shot for four once in a test match, true story! I say hook shot, more an act of self defense and he just happened to hit it. Good on him though for doing this, top bloke

[fanofthefoo1]

haha good on him

[TheReadingStudent]

Actually, he's nowhere near!

[lachlanslayer]

Australia is gone not to long now

[TheMaster26454]

Australia is still the best

[timcgill]

Thats awesome!

[campbelltheteddy]

i love you soooooooooooooooooooooo much Chris

[rugved1000]

chris really has got a sense of humour! good to see! remember that screaming four that he hit of Harbhajan down the ground?

[momentofpride]

haha

[ForFr33dom]

Is that video for real? Seriously?...totally confused about why chris would mock himself lol but whatever.

[imrepohl]

I think it might be because he's got a sense of humour buddy.

[paceykyle]

Martin is a pace bowler not a spinner..

[shaf786786]

haha i love to watch him bat. he's not a bad bowler though

[nikunj232323]

damn my stomachs hurting...

i want a copy.

[gabz027]

HEY RampaginRumbler...

SHUT THE FUCK UP

YOU'RE A REAL FAT PIG AND A SLOB!!!

[CrAigSkiiZ]

i agree with gabz and ultimate lord. chris martin is pure class, the game of cricket needs youthfull players like him. His impeccable batting avarage, is similar to that of don bradman and brain lara. words cannot begin to describe how much he has contributed not only to the kiwis but cricket throughout the world..and lets not forget his majestic spin..but i have to disagree with u gabz he is a much better spinner of the ball than the fat pie eating pig...chris is an athlete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gabz027]

why is everyone bagging him for

he's one of the best spin bowlers of all time, why should he have to learn how to bat. he is full of class if he gets going he is brilliant and I strongly agree with ultim8lord. he bowls the best wronguns and doosras and he has cleaned up so many people with them. he is known as one of the best leg spinners of all time so dont bag him. he is just behind warne.

[GoreSpattered]

WOAH, WHAT!

i hope you're joking, please be joking...

just in case your not, pretty sure he DOESN'T bowl leg spin (Y), please be joking

[TheDoctor394]

Huh? :-|

[ultim8l0rd]

I am not too sure what you suposed cricket 'enthusiasts' are talking about. Bagin chris martin like that is just unfair because he can really bat. He has talent which could possibly chalenge that of the great men like S.R.Tendulkar or B.C.Lara. His atac when he is in gud tuch is simply unrivaled . But his lack of ability to build an inings around solid defence and singles lets him down. With time martin will learn how to build an inings and become the best batsman in the world

[RampaginRumbler]

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA look at the load of shit ur talkn. migod.

[jaxpower1]

no aussie cricketer would have enough of a sense of humor to do this sort of thing, chris martin's a champion!

[earpit]

i want it!

[anonymous11223345]

me too:)

[iwg0gr1m]

I think its safe to say the only reason NZ drew the third test is because no one was able to hold a partnership with Martin. Had someone played a supporting role giving Martin the strike, NZ would have most definitely posted another 600+ innings.

Totally smoked everything Singh bowled to him, that screamer of a 4 just shows what a talent he is with a bat in hand!

[1337Dutchy]

because like chris.. it's out now.
