I highly doubt its real, even if the ball did land in the same place every time (which it doesn't) he wasnt standing in the same place every time, so shouldve just played down completely the wrong line. Its fake unless he just stood there for days until he luckily hit five good ones in a row, and i don't think Brylcreem would pay for that, my guess is that he can see through the blindfold, funny how noone thought of that, and funny how all youtube commenters jump to video editing explanations...
But if the machine is set to pitch the same place, and with the same bounce and pace, this should be easy to do, but the editing makes the ball look 3d and fake.
It's a goddamn advert people! whether fake or not, were you not entertained? And do you know who the cricketer is? Can you name him? Did you watch it all the way through? Have you engaged with it and commented on it, sometimes vociferously?! You have?!?! chalk one up for the advert then...
@davo250 Sorry Davo but from my experience as a cricketer and Visual effects i know this was not faked, I don't know how you claim the edit proves it but visual effects don't allow distortion of this speed and the camera level proves it so despite you comment THIS IS REAL !!!!!!
@CJR1000 The only thing which makes be believe it can be real is that the bowling machine delivers the ball at accurate line and length, so with the sound of the ball and with a little practice the timing can be improved. But otherwise can't say it for sure if its genuine.
Fake... For one you never see the ball being properly put in the machine or leaving the machine and the balls are CGI!! the second one he hits looks so wrong!
Lol love the way people 'know for sure' that its fake like they were actually there haha. If you set a bowling machine to bowl the same place its not impossible to hit it everytime, especially for a set half volley for a test batsman. It may be fake but then may not, some people are bellends.
coooool :P... he's the best batsman in the england squad on terms of ability, but players like strauss and bell have the mental game and are in better form at the moment, not comparing or anything and dont want any hater comments! :O
few things on the vid whether its fake or not firstly remember kp is capabile of hitting sixes ok second he hears one first any easyily fake vid would just have him hitting them first ball now if you look on the 3rd ball i think he fails and doesnt hit a six another chance of it being real
now onto the fake well it must be hard to do that i mean come on its hard to hit any six and the reverse weep looks abit fake but i believe this is real any player could do it im sure
@thepardhu100 Not really sure what you're trying to say but I'll try to reply to your statement. If you've used a bowling machine you will know that it does not land at the same spot all the time for a variety of reasons.
I would believe that this video is real if it stayed at the same speed the whole time and he faced a view without a blindfold but he says during the video crank it up. How is he meant to know when the ball is going to arrive.
@pvinodchowdary mate its a bowling machine, of course they are going to be the same kind of deliveries. im not saying its not fake, im not sure, but your point does not prove that it is in any way. fool
@BlueNose1690i Ha!! Go enjoy the football if that's your thing. Took you a while to compute the first comments did it? Despite your comments you needed prompting to understand didn't you?
Don't you have to go find your skirt for your annual small man, small country, little brother syndrome, tud-thump?
@bi11andted O-K , As i said you have no wit lol That was a pathetic excuse of a comeback. Be a little original from time to time , If all you can say is "YOU HAVE A SKIRT HUH HUH HUH" then you have less of an imagination than i first thought. Btw , Thats not your real dad. ;-)
@bi11andted Come up to Scotland and see how popular it is , I'll give you 1000 if you can find a group of people out playing cricket haha lets be serious , Cricket is shit.
@BlueNose1690i hey just because you dont have the mental strength to play the sport doesn't mean it is shit. Furthermore, in Perthshire they are practising for next year's interschool tornaments.
It's an ad - the strange thing is anyone cares enough to argue about whether it's fake, does it really matter? Which one of you hand on heart would turn down the chance to earn a shitload of money fooling around with a bowling machine for a laugh? Who cares if it's fake he's still hitting it well! He'll come good in the ashes, mark my words and when we're all in Trafalgar square will you be the ones shouting 'Fake!' 'Gay!' at the team bus?! Ya saddos!!
this is BS. how did he know the last ball was going to be a full pitched delivery? absolutely rubbish. who does this guy really thinks hes fooling? im sure a lot of others like myself have lost total respect for this faggot
@gregsew2113 it really does surprise me that you care about this so much, it's just an advert. and besides cricket is one of the most awful sports i know of so who cares :)
Agreed u r super duper player! but we also hv played little ckt Dude! do not try to fool ppl around...Specially u cud sense a full toss & able to play a reverse shot was a Big Fake!
we all know this is bullshit, no way kp would wear a blindfold and miss the possibility of catching a glimpse of his reflection in a window or something
Notice that there are two sounds when he hits the ball....and the ball is not visible when he hits......!! its all fake..;) !!
