to become a top ten world squash player you have to be a champion.they are all champion's and gods.squash is one on one, like boxing but much more difficult,i know i do both and squash is harder of the two.you have to be a supreme athlete and use your brain and your instinct too.they are all champions.nowdays is much more diificult because the gap is so tight between the top ten players.knan palmer nicol shabana gaultier power they are all champs.
Squash was rated by Forbes as the most strenuous sport. I am a tennis player and there is no comparison in fitness requirements. In my hometown of Louisville, KY USA, squash is only played by the wealthy preppies. The sport desperately needs to be in the public parks where free access will really grow the game.
I am a tennis player. But squash requires so much more reaction and creativity. Tennis is more one dimensional than squash. My old tennis coach said that the average tennis point lasts 4 shots - with the serve and return of serve being two of the points.
Tennis is far less homogenized and is an absolute battlefield with the nature of some of the long 5 set matches where one needs to be focused for 4 plus hours.
Apples and oranges.
I will say though that boxing came out as the toughest sport after a bunch of ESPN sports experts judged a variety of sports in many categories.
he went 9-0 9-0 5-0 up against nicol before losing in 5. I was at a camp with him today and i did the channel game he was awesome. A couple of years ago he took a game of willstrop despite being close to 35+. He in my opinion could have been one of the best of the nicol era if he trained harder and became fitter. he was at the time of nicol ( nicol was top 20 at the time) i have never seen anybody so good at finding the nick
Squash needs to be opened up to the public. In my hometown of Louisville KY USA, the wealthy, preppie crowd like to keep the sport for themselves and are unwilling to open it up to general public. The only way the sport will grow in my town is to build outdoor squash courts in the public parks.
move to england we have squash courts gallore mate.that's why you don't and won't see an american in the top 30 ever because they keep the sport too themselves.
hmmm... I thought there were matches between jansher and nicol. I am not sure who won, but I know that they went to 5 games - but jansher was past prime. My bet would be that jansher would beat him, if both at their prime.
I've met Peter and you're right, he is such a great role model, very professional attitude towards his fans and just a really nice guy to have linked with the game.
JonathOn's attitude on court was questionable to say the least, he was a great athlete but he had no respect what so ever towards his oponents or the referee. Peter on the other hand was a brilliant champion, hard working, respectful and above all a squash god.
''the best of all time'' is just a matter of personal preference, for some people it will only be Jansher Khan, for others others.
agree...peter nicol is just the best of his time...the greatest in squash...only jansher was better (in his own time)...but those two are the best players of all time...
Just putting out there : I like your videos, but is it possible to have any better quality ? I don't know whether it is because of the videos you get these clips from or because of any sort of limit imposed by youtube on the file size. I'm just wondering, because if it were possible, those would be really really awesome.
It's a little bit of both, and they r slightly in better quality as the master videos I have on my PC but 'slightly' is the key word here, plus these aren't financed digital productions so I do the best I can with the product I find
i bet my ass that if you match jansher in his best time and nicol in his best time, nicol would win 3-0, im not saying that jansher is not the greatest of all time, just that it was other speed, other conditions...
well, your ass, how much is it worth? I bet no so much, since you bet it and Yansher is the best withouht any doubt. Look at the statistics, is there more to it? I do not think so ...
I respectfully disagree. An acute observation of footwork and play will clearly show that Jansher in fact got to the ball just as fast if not faster and -more- efficiently. At his best, Jansher would probably take the match, probably not in straight shots but I can see in 4. Jansher also attacked better in the later half of his career than what I see from Peter. But great player.
this video highlights the most underrated aspect of nicol's game.. his deception is unbelievable.. countless times he gets guys going completely the wrong way .. he was always judged as being a work horse on the court.. someone that just ran and ran and ran
Nicol's retired now, so he doesn't have a ranking and when he was playing, he was the world's number 1 player for 60 months, again like I mentioned earlier, u obviously have an axe to grind against Peter and were trying to be a very unbiased person in ur comment, but only 'trying' and obviously failing miserably, dont bother commenting anymore, if u plan to keep this up
For a person who thinks no one can say anything against Nicol, u sure have a lot to say against him. Check their head 2 head record, it stands at 9-2 in Peter's favor, so that should silence a few claims...
this is wat his fellow professional squash players called him, not something that I just made up for him, but thanx for the comment, just thought I'd clarify that up one more time
surprisingly all the other messages I got regarding this video, were the ones which asked me about wat track I had used, since they liked it soo much, but i am glad u liked the video at least
It's tough making such videos for other players, cuz honestly, no one dominated a rally like Jansher and even though I got some great reviews on this videos, people who's opinion I revere made me aware that they enjoyed Jansher's videos more, simply because of his style of play and they could see why and how often he was dominating rallies... so even though Peter Nicol might not have the same dominance but he's one of my all time heroes and hence the video tribute...
Then u don't know Nicol's head 2 head with both Shabana and Palmer, and he never played Ramy, had he played him, Nicol would've dominated again, because his style of game is exactly wat kills Ramy everytime...
nicol in his prime would beat ramy simply because he takes the ball so early and hits pin point length..with that said nicol also was incredibly underrated as a shot maker.. ramy is still young and his game is still very immature just like shabana's was..ramy has a bit to go be4 hes on the level of nicol
agreed, some smart points there and the kind of length Nicol would consistently hit in his heydays, would upset anyone's game, ANYONE's. Thanx for commenting n watching...
i agree with the guy below, please make a video of power. all of your movies have been really good, i love the jansher videos. there must be plenty of clips of power and he has to be one of the most passionate players to play th sport.
keep the videos coming and add one of power to your list. thanks man
will make one, have to get some good clips of his, the ones I have donot show his 'passion' or 'skill' quite as such and I will make one for him soon enough, he's definitely on my list, and thanx a million for watching the videos and for ur positive feedback
I had to turn off the sound to get rid of that carnival music.
