Awesome Graeme Swann "Bottle Top" Trick Shot

[MrLimtindsay]

This is Kevin Pietersen Blindfold Cricket

[niallg153]

he probably took a thousand attemps but I love Swanny

[gopal1991]

that was not a "Top spinner" but a TOP OPENER!

[sportsman165]

@gopal1991 Funny. Very funny.

[MrSranbrothers]

oe mallya......... its fake yar.............

[cartman2dk]

its fake. like beckhams bin-shot and Nadal's)whatever he did cant remember. its all marketing, and why didnt we see the full view here just like when he tried first time.?

[red1212ism]

The worlds best bowler and bottle opener!

[ff7masta]

Viral marketing fail. Christ this is lame.

[rodtorre7]

fake.....WHY THEY DID NOT SHOWN FULL VIEW...instead of just bottle

[JoeThomlinson]

viral advert, but i love you swannnny

[77Fortran]

classic banter

[TheCCXREdition]

Fake otherwise he would be that accurate.all of the time

[sethpoohbottom]

Why go to all this trouble and use a cameraman that is so unsteady on his feet that he looks like he has been drinking all the out-takes? Use a tripod, idiot. Unless its trying very hard to look amateur. I am a bit skeptical!

[vinayendratnhere]

Fake!!!!

[FostonPete]

Nice rolling shutter effect, I like the way it makes everything hard to watch and look like it's made of jelly.

[pankajk7]

what bull is this....? why didnt camera go longshot like the previous try... this is just bull crap....

maybe they r trying to jee up swann's morale coz he gonna be in trouble when the indians get through him. BTW KingFisher being an indian brand... maybe thats the only indian scalp he gonna manage to get. heh! heh! :D

[damn4893]

really legit...........

he'll be man to watch on english tour to indian soil.... where spin makes vast difference to the game.......

[bapun0089]

hi swanny u can open as many bottle as u want but i can bet u that u r not going to be in the england team after the indian series........ be asured of that........

[hallsterr]

@bapun0089 What you talking about fool? Graeme Swann is the second best bowler in the world, ranked higher than any Indian bowler including Zaheer 'Fatty' Khan. Rest assured he will be playing for England for many years to come.

[XPil3s]

how real is this?

[KJtheMC]

Dear confused people, he was supposed to hit top off middle stump. The way the bottle was set up, he could have hit anywhere on the bottle and the cap would have fell off. And for a spin bowler,aiming at half of a stump isnt a biiiig deal; bowlers usually practice with one stump. If anything is fake, it is the bottle cap not being tightly on the bottle,as in being half way popped when Swanny bowled.

[freddie971]

@KJtheMC I don't think the bottle cap was loose either, if you watch just after he hits it the bubbles spray up. I think this is pretty legit.

[0iffy0]

for those of you who didnt know, this is a kingfisher advert

[Muttl3yMac]

Seems legit to me! Graeme Swann is the man!

[TenebrousSounds]

Man why would Swanny of all people make a fake bowling video? If it was fake, how much credibility would he lose? He said on his Twitter page its legit... What more d'ya want?

Remember the Roger Federer can on head? That was brilliant...

[thecodkid]

I don't think it's fake, it may have taken many tries but it's completely possible and he's the guy who would do it.

[MeOnStuff]

The only other video uploaded by this account is an advert.

It's like they're not even trying to hide the fact that this is fake.

[oPatchYx]

How to make an advert :

Lose focus approximately 143988198 times.

Shake camera about.

Make someone famous do something fake.

End product = infinite moniez!1!!!!

[jeremybeadlesclaw]

This is what Swanny had to say about it on his official Twitter (Swannyg66)

The video may look dodgy but I promise it's genuine. Those who still doubt me are welcome to a thumb war. I am a fifth Dan thumb ranger

[Joedidyjoe]

They have loved the fake viral videos on youtube recently. NFL. Aston Villa. Now this?

[YawnGod]

As soon as I see the "amateur" out of focus, I know this was a professionally made ad.

Fucking annoying.

[TechnoViking94]

clearly just a viral add

[HaveNoFearTomIsHere]

I thought this was the Graeme from Paul...

[VegasPoker]

oh how convenient! the camera just happened to point away from graeme as he bowled the good shot!

viral advertising sucks hard

[slslfc]

Swan guaranteed it was real on his Twitter account!

[FTWConnor]

They think amature looking camera man makes it look real, but then sudden as the ball hits he becomes pro? AMAZING !

[xbox360charlie]

This video does not in anyway make me want a beer, fail advertising.

[flyover8]

fake and gay lol

[MrLon2011]

Lol, someone remind that girl never to take up acting

[AdzCFC]

I love swanny, but that was clearly fake

[IIWILLISII]

Fake. You know its fake when someone has an expensive camera to record with, but doesnt know how to keep it steady, its the same in all viral product placement videos.

[red1212ism]

I was at the rose bowl and he did it - he did a shoot and press conference (which was on sky sports) and did this - this is not a typical approach. He is one of the best spin bowlers in the world so great to see it!! Swanny for MVP at india v england!!

[mozza6757]

Or we could just believe Graeme when he said he did. He is a pretty decent bowler you know.

[MaybeILoveScarlett]

fake

[SkubaSt3v0]

I call bullshit.

[aitubis]

let's pretend it isn't a  fake...

[georgeb123]

fake videos go way over the top with loss of focus and shaking

[ledley4]

Is that bloke in the black t-shirt sucking his gut in?

[jmg111]

00:58 is surely an edit-point ... for this to have any credibility whatsoever it needs to lose the camera shake, focus jerks and have a wide-shot of the bowling action and bottle at the same time. I still shared it though so more fool me...

[hhumpo21]

These pathetic adverts are really getting on my nerves. He obviously didn't do that or it would have actually shown him bowl the second ball, from the same angle as the first shot. What's the point?

[lx502]

oh wow dat woz amazzzing ow did oo do dat?? lololzzzzz11!!

oh wait, it was shit.

[niblick69]

I am getting sick of these bullshit lying adverts.

[ASLMedia]

Not just any beer Matt, but a Kingfisher beer? Amazing.

[sammorgan10]

You should have all done the sprinkler afterwards

[sweetipie123456]

Joey Essex Also Sent Me Here Reem!

[SplufySocks]

Joey Essex sent me here :D

[jamscho]

who is the awkward guy in the suit?

[jeremybeadlesclaw]

@jamscho I see what you mean, the guy is shuffling around in his pockets a bit too much for my liking. Dodge.

[jeremybeadlesclaw]

SWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANY

I'd murder for an ice cold Kingfisher with a nice ruby murray right now.

[SteRDLK]

Swanny is a ledge.

[ThePinkZeppe]

make a good advert, but i think it is fake...

[michaeljohnstockton]

top boy swanny but noone likes a show-off, it's vulgar.

[OBJ2K9]

SWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

[SirKnobofCheese]

Either thats the worst cameraman in the world or its fake.I'm going for fake

[arghyacalcutta]

cool trick!

but i can kill the cameraman.was there an earthquake?

[MrFrankMurphy]

This is definitely real. Well, as real as Kobe jumping over that car...

[Rickster9012]

Me too, I'd love a swig of a kingfisher! He did actually do it, I know the team that shot this....

[Melvilander]

i'd love a kingfisher right now.



[peechykean]

I think he could do it, but i'd want to see it live.

[Ludders6]

He didnt actually do that..

[looseheadtom]

this should 1. be in People Are Awesome and 2. the advert for kingfisher beer. Swanny is the biggest lad in the UK

[sdlewis2]

You can see the cut at around 57-58 second mark...

but something like this has never been done before, hang on a minute...

[123Peat1]

swann deserves more than a tenner for that brilliant acting

[matthewbailey89]

what gives it away the most? the tacky fake celebrations

[carlparmenter]

I suddenly fancy a bottle of Kingfisher, but I'm not sure why... And to think people say we're susceptible to advertising

[BigMonkeyOnAStick]

Haha nice fake trick Swanny!

[BIGZIPZ]

Can you smell that? It's bullshit.

[TheVonStalhein]

Knocking the top off is one of Swanny's fortes, and kudos to him. Much more cred if he actually necked the thing. He has been to Australia after all.

[georgeh2002]

Let's all go out and buy KINGFISHER



[dizzyuk]

I wonder how much Kingfisher paid for this viral!
