*NZ GOLD!* Stephen Fleming 274* vs Sri Lanka 2003 - 80 minute video!!!!!

[Schmackofatz13]

Rob,

As a German who only recently got into the game (and since turned cricket-nuts), I cannot describe how important your videos are to me. Without your work, I would probably never be able to see any of the game's legends bat or bowl, let alone see classic innings and moments of magic/madness. You're helping me make up for a lifetime of cricketing ignorance, and especially this video and the warne ball-by-ball video are just unbelievable. Keep up the good work! Watching this a second time...

[ijazsarmad]

He was a legend,no doubt up there with Inzamam Javed Sachin Lara and so many more

[thatguyyouknow2]

Thanks so much Rob. I downloaded this, put it on my hard drive and watched it on my TV. Every cricketer should be made to watch this before they got out to bat. What makes it so great is that you get analysis and tactics from the man himself. Just watching this makes it seem like I understand batting so much more. Cheers again.

[robelinda]

@thatguyyouknow2 Yeah its pretty awesome viewing, gotta be a true cricket lover to sit through it all! When it was on tv all those years ago i found it fascinating to watch.

[thatguyyouknow2]

Everyone should spam Cricinfo to do a story on Rob's videos. Thumbs up so everyone can see this (sorry had to say it).

[robelinda]

@thatguyyouknow2 Cricinfo already has done a story!!!

[OzTwanger]

Always liked watch The Flem. hould have averaged more in test cricket - didn't convert enough starts into big score

[merryberry21]

Doing very good stuff here, being English and nearly 19 I miss out on a lot of test cricket, especially from that brilliant era of the 90's and early 2000's. I love the Kiwi national team, such workers and it is always brilliant to see a western team going to the subcontinent and batting like this, a real test match innings, brilliant test cricket. So much appreciation for you, I waste nights at uni watching 'em man. Wondering if you had any test series from the last decade. NZ Aus 0-0 series?

[damo24now]

South Africa was the other country

[damo24now]

It's odd that both new Zealand haven't had a triple century maker.

[bulltiger18]

@damo24now true, I can't see any NZ player getting one in the near future

[robotusch]

Excellent video Rob. Like the 60 minute Warne vid you uploaded earlier, there's something about watching a player craft his innings, rather than just watching a 5 minute boundary/half-chance/wickets extravaganza that we're used to watching in highlights packages these days.

[robelinda]

@robotusch Yeah highlights suck man, unfortunately most youtubers and cricket fans prefer short 90 second highlights of an innings, which is both sad and pathetic.

[MuthaFockingBoss]

This will be an effort, but i will watch

[shutuprafa]

great great innings

future Indian coach

[U2one100]

@shutuprafa Really? Would he be interested in that role at all? That'd be awesome though. Greatest skipper of the last 20 years IMO and a gentleman too. I think he'll fit well with the Indian players and more importantly he has a good understanding of contemporary cricket.

[shutuprafa]

@U2one100 EricQuagmire suggested it first to be fair...India need to go outside the box and get a former captain who isn't a loudmouth. W/e knowledge Fletcher has about improving batting technique clearly hasn't been helping (to think how Gary Kirsten helped Bhajji score two centuries). We're in desperate need of rebuilding. New middle-order. New coach. New captain...yeah I said it

SUPERB VIDEO.......................TH­ANKS ROB

[CorneredTigerUK]

Thanks You Very Much Rob, Loved The Longer Version!

[Punter2012]

But too long video

[robelinda]

@Punter2012 WTF x 1000??? Well you have qualified for the DUMBEST YOUTUBE COMMENT OF THE DAY. No-one is forcing you to watch it. I cannot believe anyone would be stupid enough to complain that the video is too long. Sorry for working my ass off to edit it and spending 20 hours uploading it. Why do I even bother......

[shutuprafa]

@robelinda because you have people (losers) like us who could watch your videos all day

[Punter2012]

That was a Special Innings

[TheGarr123]

Fleming was the most stylish left hand batsmen imo. I used to love see him bat, amazing player. I think he is one of New Zealend most successful batsmen.

[SATULAL]

Absolutely was a great innings! He probly wishes he was playing today cus he'd score 274 against the present SL bowlers every time!
