[sonasidhu]

when is the next Brett lee video coming?? make it soon please!!!!!!

[vamanborker]

Do you remember days ago india vs australia t20. good bowling from brad hogg and poor batting by indians execpt dhoni

[robelinda2]

@vamanborker yes i remember 24 hours ago.

[bartonez123]

@robelinda2 less than 24 hrs lol

[lara400notout]

lol....freeserve - I remember them!

[spookavision]

One of a massive nine wickets he took in five tests while Damien Fleming - born to bowl in England - sat in the pavilion. And it wasn't even out. Overrated.

[robelinda2]

@spookavision Oh dont get me started man, Fleming was fucked over HUGELY that series, he was indeed born to bowl in England, while Lee bowled like shit for 5 tests and had full support from Steve Waugh. I seem to recall Fleming getting 10 wickets in one tour match, yet still didnt get picked for a test match.

[spookavision]

@robelinda2 Add that to Hodge and they wonder why Vics think they get a raw deal? (Now, how soon can you upload Michael Clarke's 329 for those of us who had to work? :))

[fruho1]

@robelinda2 Damien Fleming and Stuart MacGill - the greatest pace-spin combo that never got the chance to become great

[robelinda2]

@fruho1 1000% agree dude.

[VictorYong36]

the last time Australia won an Ashes in England...let's hope we'll win it in 2013...

[Jordzs7]

no wonder australia won this series 4-1 such a good team at the time

[B1985A]

Those were the days when batsmen were actually intimidated by our bowling attack.

[robelinda2]

@B1985A It sucks now eh.

[B1985A]

@robelinda2 mate i know you get told this a lot but you are a legend for uploading all these cricket vids. i discovered your channel a couple of days ago and have watched most of your vids. Brings back many good memories. I love the footage of the Windies in the 80's. i was a little too young to appreciate how good guys like Viv Richards, holding, Garner actually were.

Have you uploaded the Shane warne footage funk192 asks about in the comments below?

Thanks again and keep em coming :)

[JohnMcClane99]

@robelinda2 And now? LOL

[robelinda2]

@JohnMcClane99 Now as in India getting hammered?

[funk192]

I don't know if you have but it would be great if you could upload a Shane Warne build up to getting a wicket just like you do in this video and many others. All you see on youtube of Warne is just his wickets. Any would do, i'll leave it for you to decide what one(s) because you're the master of this lol

[robelinda2]

@funk192 I have a video sitting right here of just that......will upload soon.

[funk192]

@robelinda2 Thx heaps dude :D

[squadlyfer111]

This Robelinda2 dude is the man bet cricket videos ive ever seen what a machine

[GunnerSlave]

The team lineup at the start of the video makes me cringe at the averageness of our old team. Thank god we have a strong outfit now that can take on anyone.

[sidostheproducer12]

@GunnerSlave

At least that English team was actually English...

[GunnerSlave]

@sidostheproducer12

England is a very multi cultural country with a lot of foreign born citizens. Why can't we use them to our advantage? Why do we have to put up with the negatives, yet when they do some good for England, it's brushed off because theyre not english. All top class countries have foreign borns in sport teams. Jonah Lomu was Tongan for fuck sake! Plus Aussies are actually English anyway! I wish i could write more! dont know where youre from, but youre sour that Eng is now no. 1!!

[sidostheproducer12]

@GunnerSlave

Haha mate there's a difference between bringing through players who are English but from different cultures like Monty Panesar etc and then essentially buying/doing dodgy business to bring in players from other countries when they're already promising developing cricketers who only moved to England to get into the national team. Half your team wouldn't even know the national anthem for christs sake. But well done, you've gelled together a marvelous team and they deserve number one.

[biafra4life]

yeah pitched outside leg...crappy decision though Brett Lee is still an assasin

[mittar21]

Lol thorpe would have been cursing Butcher for taking that single on the 5th ball as he had to face 1 more ball from Lee

[karlvorderman]

Check out the book 'The Ashes, 1945-2005, A Complete Record' by Tony Wagtar.

[Imrankniazi]

@Gtbabiee69 There is something impishly handsome about his looks. A bit more refined now with age, but is still a looker.

[Catatofish]

Ordinary decision for sure.



[rodtorre7]

LEE ALWAYS SEEMS SHARPER than any of his speed rival

[ludocrat]

Pitched outside, missing off. Top decision. Sheesh.

[mukundh1]

How was that LBW? Terrible decision!

[jstreete]

It makes me wonder a bit about the speed guns they use nowadays. I've seen people like Saj Mahmood and Stuart Broad registered in the upper 80s MPH, but it's clear that they are not bowling anywhere near as fast as Lee is here (also in that very fast spell that Donald bowled against Atherton the speed gun 'only' registered about 89.6, to a bouncer that almost decapitates the batsman).

[jstreete]

Good bowling, but it's a pretty terrible LBW decision

[dannycrankovich]

@jstreete What do you mean . . . plum!

I am australian! :P Pretty tough LBW decision bowling round the wicket with no inswing. Must have been in the umpires "blind spot."

[yellowpally]

@dannycrankovich

i think you'll find that he bowled over the wicket.

still it'd be going to a review if it happened now

[raff23]

@jstreete not terrible, pitched outside leg but just missing off and was just going over as well, at that speed the ball doesnt have as far to travel so theres a chance it could have clipped the stumps, probably should have got the benefit of the doubt though.

[m1trekker]

@jstreete I am pleased you mentioned that, I thought I was going mad for a minute when I saw it pitch outside leg stump.

[Crkt4Eva]

It makes you think if Brett Lee can bowl around the 90 MPH mark consistently what does he actually do different to bowl up to 100 MPH instead?

[nottellingu0]

SHIT lbw decision though, that was NOT out

[damo24now]

he shouldn't have played a test in this series

[anon420098]

wow bumbles commentating when he first started is quite uncomfortable

[Mladenovski28]

Shit that was a quick upload, my hat goes off to you. I thought the ball just clipped his finger, but it hit him flush on the hand. His face said it all.

[robelinda2]

@Mladenovski28 Yeah I can be fast sometimes.....so the girls tell me

[Mladenovski28]

@robelinda2 When it comes to women, you don't want to knock the bails off too early mate, sometimes you need the long spell.

[dw29392]

That wasn't out. Ball pitched outside leg. Poor decision. Still, always nice to see England players go out.
