Dennis Lillee uses Aluminium Bat! (Cricket )

[wishwacom]

lol that was a TiiinN shot :)))

[Aurelius1986]

The problem wasn't with the aluminum bat. The bat performed as it should. The problem was with the poor quality ball. As more & more people begin to play Cricket, there aren't going to be enough English Willow trees to make bats for everyone. You're going to have to allow bats made from different woods, metal, as well as composite materials, enter into the game, like American Baseball.

[pkr3000]

that bat fucks up the ball so no

[mikelanglo85cap]

Aussies..Cheaters....tampers..­...since long time....

[irishgodfatherchris]

@mikelanglo85cap so using a bat which was legal at the time is cheating, that's great logic that is

[Afridithebest10]

WTF! How big is that ground!

[irishgodfatherchris]

@Afridithebest10 that was back in the say when the fence was the boundary

[ihinarap]

Just like the underarm, the aluminum bat was legal at the time.....just saying

[eyesaid101]

yeah yeah.. when an Aussie or English does something ... its called "Innovation" but when the others do it its called "Cheating" "tampering" and God knows what...

[irishgodfatherchris]

@eyesaid101 the bat was legal at the time so it wasn't cheating, Dennis was according to rules at the time allowed to use it

[SuperFreddyKruger1]

great first shot

[suma12345able]

I wonder aussi got that cheating history, Using different bat rather than using a normal bat that clearly indicate he is not use his talent but using different form of Technic,

[lukebriggs911]

@suma12345able its called innovation knob head

[irishgodfatherchris]

@suma12345able the bat was legal at the time, cock.

[lsbrother]

if the bat was illegal then they should have banned it at the start of his innings - and if it wasn't then how could they stop him using it?

[Msd007SWADAQA]

Why not use sponch ball that is reply for aluminium bat

[786cricketlover]

good sound

[WorldSacred]

After all these years, I have only just found out that it was the umpires who were not impressed with the bat. As a child, I thought when Lillee threw away the bat, it was because *he* wasn't impressed with the bat.

[rohanso]

the aluminium bat was cricket's equivalent of brocky's "energy polariser".

[Jaggasingh12]

Boundary is not important here but the usage of metal bat. Why current Australians , especially, Punter is so arrogant and ignorant. Using metal bat, under arm bowling, TV breaking incident, Fighting with umpire-Aleem Daar, sledging with opponents, Shane Warne's drug incident before WC put Australians in one of the worse team in the category of Cricket history .

[hardikvyas21]

@Jaggasingh12 u r partially true buddy. if u list out everything Pakistan is at Numero Uno follwed by Australia

[RoheeeeCricket]

@Jaggasingh12 how can you just judge ponting because of 2 or 3 incidents on the field? have you ever met him? every team fights with the umpires, pakistan players have been convicted of using drugs and also of match fixing. im pretty sure breaking a tv because you were upset isnt as bad as accepting $50,000 and bowling deliberate no balls. and i totally disagree with australia being one of the worst countries in cricket.

[bongo155]

Silly Lillee.

[inn0cencel0st]

aluminium bat, under arm bowling, deliberate sledging...and they claim to be a fair sport.

[irishgodfatherchris]

@inn0cencel0st the aluminium bat was legal, it broke no laws.

[MENSFORTHHILL99]

Aluminium bat. Underarm bowling.

Such a good sporting fair playing nation.

[toughsofty1981]

@MENSFORTHHILL99 Dennis Lillee was a master of many things related to cricket, some of them pretty wily!!

[chupker]

If Paki batsman do the same thing they will definitely punished for ban

[19raghu]

@chupker there was no ICC in those days so now any1 would be banned not just pakis

[scotthendo]

@chupker Well of course because it has now been banned, back then it wasn't. Don't try to play the victim, the PCB is the most corrupt sporting board in world sport.

[dodul65]

i am a big fan of dennis lillee and regard him as one of the best fast bowlers. however, his aluminium bat was not accepted by the rules and regulations of the game and the way he argued and flung his bat is not acceptable. just imagine it happening today!! if icc existed in those days, he would have definitely been punished severely.

[irishgodfatherchris]

@dodul65 actually at the time it was perfectly legal, it was only after this incident that they changed the rules

[vijaykurosaki]

That ground is huuuge. The IPL grounds are so small.

[heffo888]

I feel sorry for the inventer. He would have lost a bit of cash i'm sure! Glad it never caught on wooden bats have character! Long live Cricket

[bhriguaneja]

I cant believe there are people here actually defending Lillee for what he did...How blinded are you losers...When someone pinches a baby, it is wrong. When someone brings a freakin aluminum bat onto a cricket field it is bad, and to somewhat extent sorry as well...grow some conscious you idiots

[DevilBoyDoc]

Grow up you pack of morons, Lillee was one of the greats of the game. Bagging him is only done at the peril of your intelligence and dignity. So go on and do so and prove to the rest of us that you have neither.

[kaitimebb]

Lillee a cunt? What kind of fool talks like that. A superb player, and a person who overcame great adversity through discipline and intelligence.

[TheElaKukula]

@kaitimebb Yeah, you can really see the level of his discipline and intelligence at 1:32

[666huha]

playtechy well said mate. well said.

[wolf4736]

Lillee is a cunt

[ganeshiyer27]

it's called WILLOW for a reason...

[bachi411]

lillee mom is a slut

[ANISHALBS]

lilee is a bloody fucking attention seeker

[TutGuy789]

LOL? God knows wheres the boundary

[322ize]

@TutGuy789 hahaha...i doubt if there was any boundary

[bhaktebandhu]

@TutGuy789 hahaha 

[cfhasib]

Denis Lillee's bals now seems like off breaks compared to Shohaib Akhte.r

[wogga8]

Shit there are some morons that comment on youtube videos. This is a famous cricketing incident. I also cant believe some of the comments about Dennis Lillee. Whether you like him or not he was a brilliant bowler, as good, if not better than anyone else in the world in that era. And before you call me a biased aussie, im a kiwi. Lillee was a class act.

[meercatzz]

Dennis Lilee is such a pussy.

[JoshFoster00]

Just because lillee was smart enough to make an aluminium bat, get fucked and leave him alone..

[uthumb1]

@JoshFoster00 lilee was a fucking retard

[cockywatchman1976]

@JoshFoster00 I made a bat of bone-dinosaur bone. It hit it miles-IM THE SMART ONE NOW MUHAHAHAHAHA

[waqasayub22]

it was destroying the ball.

[Hologhoul]

thanks for posting - classic and amusing moment in sport history!

[beefcake502]

Pretty sure us Aussies are disgusted by Indians so why would our sisters and mothers wanna fuk you. Your incredibly ugly you smell extremely bad and have tiny penises. Have a shower than get a life you smelly arrogant cunts.

[zainahmed1994]

plastic ka bat

[calvingmail]

Am sure he replaced his "bat" with an aluminum one too.

[IronCrescent]

pprrrriinng!

[visa98]

Late 1979

[tanujbhar]

wat is this he is a sick trying to play with aluminium bat completely mad guy

[2010Taupo]

That's just not cricket

[beerathon]

ooooh shiny.

[MrMahajana]

what an attention-seeking a**hole.

[MrMahajana]

Dennis Lillee was pure BS at times.

[ThunskaLad]

As I recall, cricket began in the mid 16th Century... there was no us and you then, Australia still belonged to it's indigenous people, BTW you don't see many of them with the bat or ball do ya.

[sunray880]

wanker Oz bastards creating trouble as usual. ban these Oz bastards!!!

[irishgodfatherchris]

@sunray880 ban the NZ team for being so shit

[sunray880]

[sunray880]

[sunray880]

[irishgodfatherchris]

@ThunskaLad also why are you so glad you won the cricket it was a spot invented for you to win in the first place.

[ThunskaLad]

What were you convicts saying about the ashes???

[irishgodfatherchris]

@ThunskaLad well done but I'll only take your team seriously when you start fielding an English side not a South African one

[Razor1262]

@ThunskaLad got the jews ashes

[mobbyjohn1]

dennis the pennis 

[wikwak67]

poms just got the sulks is all fucking whingers 

[bundywundy666]

@wikwak67 We will have little to whinge about once we beat you in the third test.

[ssrabs]

I remember watching this live in 1979 on Australian TV and I still believe Dennis Lillee was the greatest fast bowler of all time

[shashankrockwitme]

@gulabjamoon8: So it was an experiment you say. So everyone were playing with aluminium bats in that match ??

Wow man These Fucking Aussies know how to Fucking cheat.... Thats what i say

[flathy111]

@shashankrockwitme fuck off ur obviously a fukin pomy just cause we r beating u in the ashes u fucken wanker

[irishgodfatherchris]

@shashankrockwitme mate the bat was legal at the time no rules were broken

[umairji]

thats a 150 meter boundry

[stringbyte]

@umairji

lol. yea thats one hell of a long boundary.

[suranjangupta22]

@umairji imagine ur playing and u hav to hit a six in 1 ball..lol

[zokhan100]

@suranjangupta22 Near impossible

[Biggus63]

I live in Perth and was in my 2nd last year of school at the time and we ended up with 2 of them (maybe freebie promo-maybe my school was silly enough to buy them). They were truly awful. Atrocious balance in that they were way too bottom heavy, the spring was jarring and clangy, and the sound was terrible, besides they were aesthetically just yukky. No-one used it more that once in the nets. As much as Dennis was a champ he could be embarrasing at times and this was one of those.

[techdeckmarfia]

This is a true story. In this test he through the bat and later claimed the biggest aluminum bat throw.

[Jaimoen1987]

After this incident the Laws of cricket have stated that the blade of the bat must be made of wood (law 6).

[MrMahajana]

Crazy Egomaniac Creature. Just to prove that i can do what I want.

[StFidjnr]

Dennis Lillee Australia's man of steel gets told to keep it real

[Zeptis1337]

dreadfully tinny; too bad it couldn't of had a woody sound... gorn.

[rizzi2007]

aussies r cheates! uk

[Imrankniazi]

I kinda like the sound of leather on aluminium. Could be tried on an experimental basis for some FC matches. If anything, it costs cheaper and is a more environmetally friendly material.

[RomeoInNotts]

I am a Pakistani but I don't think it as a CHEAT-there's nothing to cheat in it.It's simple-he is using aluminium bat which was allowed at the time.BUT,I am wondering how Lillee could use it as stroke with wood would be harmless to hands but Aluminium?OMG...if you misstime the ball,imagine what the bat could do to you(if you played cricket lol).

[robinaboy]

I own one of those things and use it every two years at a social cricket match. It's great! But very hard on the hands if you don't middle it.

If you do middle it, it goes an absolute mile.

[imranfuuast]

aussie great cheater..

they shud be banned from ICC...

[irishgodfatherchris]

@imranfuuast A Pakistani accusing Australia of cheating thats rich when two players can test positive twice to banned substances and not get suspended also have you heard of match fixing.

[zareena17]

Aussi Aussi Aussi---Cheat Cheat Cheat

[ribhkum]

what was wrong with using a wooden bat like the rest of the world?

[irishgodfatherchris]

@ribhkum he didn't have to the aluminium bat was legal at the time

[ribhkum]

@irishgodfatherchris i didn't ay it was illegal i just wondered why he could'nt use a wooden bat like everybody else in the world !! this is cricket not fuckin baseball !!

[irishgodfatherchris]

@ribhkum well its not like it really mattered Dennis wasn't a batter anyway

[gulabjamoon8]

Yuo dumb fools! The use of an aluminium bat was sanctioned at the time as an experiment for bats in cricket moving forward. This was agreed by all parties concerned as a trial. This is no way cheating and to suggest is just someone trying to fabricate crap against Australia. So fuck you and get a life.

[3137391800]

000



[shashankrockwitme]

Aluminum bat wasn't legal. Or we would hav had Sachin Playing with a Metal one too. It was one of the aussie ideas just like the underarm Ball. Bending the Rulez. :)

[gulabjamoon8]

@shashankrockwitme Your a fucking idiot. Australia was allowed to trail the bat and all parties agreed. You have a mental problem you fool.

[lmaorut]

@gulabjamoon8 so do u

[kohiaboy]

the reason they took it off was because the england team claimed it was damaging the ball

[Oliverkina]

Thats a first

[waspsrugbydude151410]

usually a THONK but this is a TING

#LOL

[waspsrugbydude151410]

usually a THONK but this is a TING

[Wiganmaher]

I can see both sides of this argument - firstly Lillee didn't infringe any rules. Secondly Brearley had genuine cause for concern about the damage being done to the ball (and I'm sure the Aussie bowlers would have raised similar objections if Bob Willis was using a metal bat). However, if you move 30 years down the road and take a look at baseball, half the major league hitters use aluminium and half use the traditional wood. No issues with damage to the ball or composition of the bat.

[IanGorton]

@Wiganmaher A very good point indeed. For once a voice of reason. Only thing is in baseball the ball gets changed regularly as home runs hit into the crowd are kept by spectators which isn't the case in cricket.

[Holden308]

Trust DK to be different :P

[Wampabeans]

The aluminum bat was banned due to the fact that the English team didn't want their cricket balls to be damaged. The bat damaged their balls. Cricket balls of-course.

[umers36]

Bastard Lillee

[crystosis]

lillee might be a great...but he is a dick on most videos I've watched him..

[Shridder]

2 things.

1) - Naming three or for incidents in international cricket is not really a strong basis for making a nation wide generalisation.

2) - While not explicitly against the rules using an Aluminium bat was probably an attempt to get some direct performance benefit (note; Swimming over the last 5 years). Regardless of whether it gave a benefit or not it isn't hard to see why people may see it as underhanded(NOT under-armed [Which was just plain unfair]).

[Stephend83]

terrible sportsmanship from lilee

[hislopenator]

fuck that is a long boundary!!!

[fadjaz]

aussies trying to cheat their way through cricket, whats new?

[TEAMVODAFONE]

@fadjaz How can you possibly try to claim that's cheating? If anything he's giving himself a disadvantage by using such a bat....You will find that it was most probably a marketing ploy from Lillie, one which got so much attention that it worked.

[gulabjamoon8]

@fadjaz It was a test pilot for the future you fucking tool. The Aussies would beat you even if their bat was plastic.

[am0gh]

@gulabjamoon8 shutup gulabjamoon someone squeezed ur gulaab jamoons maybe thats why ur writing all these useless comments

[fadjaz]

@gulabjamoon8 self righteous much? grow up kid

[fadjaz]

aussies trying to cheat their way through cricket, whats new?

[1sicvr4]

Wtf why the fuck would you use an aluminum bat? What a joke!

[mistersmith6000]

Junior baseball uses aluminum bats - the ball goes further, the bat lasts longer, simple. But in the pro leagues they use wood.

[speedball2345]

Considering that it was legal to use it at the time, he had every right to 'throw his toys out of the pram'.

[khanooch12]

wow inzi was thorogh the bad out side and he used be pay for that for australian no rules

[ribhkum]

good! this is fuckin cricket ! you want to use an aluminium bat play baseball!

[irishgodfatherchris]

I would've just stood there and quite possibly asked the match referee (he makes sure that the umpires apply the correct procedure) to resolve the matter which would've meant that I could not be ordered to change the bat that I was using

[gulabjamoon8]

Australia were allowed to trial an aluminium cricket bat. So they did there is nothing illegal about that you moron.

[IanGorton]

@gulabjamoon8 Exactly. It was later banned.

[Tehui1974]

Gee, that Dennis Lillie sure had a bad temper didn't he?

[samvenning15]

oi we were the best in the world for ages and how are we cheats Aussies just have a little thing called skill Don Bradman 99.94 run average and Shane Warne over 700 wickets how could they cheat there are two umps on the field plus third umpire i think they would say if we were cheating X-P

[Zachmp700]

it was legal u turd

[gitzy1]

Good on Dennis for having a go absolutely classic The bat is on display in the NZ Cricket Museum at the Basin Reserve Wellington

[IanGorton]

@gitzy1 Just like the ball Trevor Chappell used to bowl the infamous underarm ball is in the WACA museum.

[donkiller88]

Australians r cheaters from long generations, luckily for them there were no cameras on earlier days, otherwise we can find more of the stupid Australian players from early years...................

[MyHomie93]

i could say the same for serbia.. OH WAIT, serbia doesnt even have an International cricket team LOL

[irishgodfatherchris]

they actually do have a cricket team they play in a eight tiered (not too sure) European Competition along with Denmark, Israel, Russia etc.

[MyHomie93]

wow man thats really interesting, you should write a book about it and see if anyone cares

[irishgodfatherchris]

@MyHomie93 Actually they do have a cricket team but like with just about all minor nations on the cricketing front its made up of ex-pats from all over the place

[mils2211]

Aussies cheat and the top embarrassing moments in cricket involve australians legends.......

Lallu Lillee shud know being a bowler what that bat can do to the ball.

[porthpatho78]

What did it do to the ball? From my recollection it did squat.

[Stephend83]

@MyHomie93 yeah but that was legal u goos

[Jazzaaaaa1]

Violently thrown the bat away? lol it was a gentle toss.

[dah061986]

The sound of willow on leather is way better than that any day of the week

[thealienlover113]

It really does sound weird.

Great man, Lillee is.

[HengistTheGreat]

Were Lillee's toys ever in the pram?

[joeyj187]

Let's face it, if the Aussies did it to cheat, they would have sent a better batsman than Lillee out with the bat.

[irishgodfatherchris]

hey the aluminium bat at the time was perfectly legal
