Brian Lara comedy drop

[Baksey21]

I think It might be out

[MrBen51309]

Lol if Lara held onto this then the West Indies actually could've gone on to win the match. That would've completely justified his greedy 400.

[fanofbc1678]

@MrBen51309 shut up this is for lara fan so if you not one don't watch his videos.

[tristanauspride]

one of his not so clever moments

[gopan1984]

i wonder..how this is not out....consider as if he throws the ball from back.....how did he react like this...he should celebrate...

[sonofthedestroyer]

Thats definitely a catch. Cant believe it was not out.

[miniman12020]

definite out he had it in his hands for long enough

[OnlyOneTreeHill8]

"ball in his possession" - I love cricket commentary

[manisha93able]

its out...........

[rsloverboys]

IT WAS ALREADY Caught............thats OUT as he hd the ball perfectly in his control?? why is it NOT OUT? ??? r they MAD??

[rsloverboys]

CELEBRATION TOO QUICKLY

[ThePakChina]

no no no he is 75% out

[MrAashirchopra]

good quality!!!

[zokhan100]

Celebrating to quickly...............HAHAHaHA

[BOND1437]

he must not go for a second attempt......it was clean catch....

[latambe]

please tell me which match or year was this?

[cupidvogel]

Yes I think he held it for at least a couple of seconds before he went to throw it up, and because he was stable when he was holding it, I think it was out.

[Ahmad12791]

its out

[heffo888]

Same as Hershell Gibbs. The law states you must have control or the release of the ball after the catch. Not out! they all knew it!

[KHANUMT]

i think it was out

[TheCharlie8889]

the wicketkeeper is like WTF

[usman2hype92]

loll why did flintoff not even bother to pay attention? I smell match fixing :)

[HatterDave]

To think he went from scoring 400 to this :L

[thisisseagull]

whos the bowler hes magic

[trinikagekavir]

@thisisseagull sarwan...would you believe it...

[thisisseagull]

@trinikagekavir hes good nva fort it wz him

[gladtobehere81]

wow...just remembered that Sarwan's leg spin use to turn a lot.....

[MrFataIity]

The rules say, you must have the ball under control, your body under control, and you must 'dispose' of the ball properly. He had the ball under control, and his body, but in the act of 'disposing' of the ball, he lost control.

[Shawnmichaelsno1fan]

haha i would have just started celebrating the umpire would of been like "oh wtf just give them tha wicket" lol

[gilgit14]

lake of confidence ....thats y not out

[kradensteiger]

excuse me mr commentator........the rule says u have to be in control..............& u have to have control even while disposing the ball.......unfortunately lara lost control while disposing the ball...........same happened to gibbs when he dropped steve waugh..........

[Jamal92554]

in this match, flintoff made 100 not out

[50fiftysagittarius]

This is Out

[landsurfer66]

Clearly a catch. Flinty should have walked, but he's an ass.

[hitrohit2001]

@landsurfer66

Blah Blah Blah.....

The act of making the catch shall start from the time when a fielder first handles the ball and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control both over the ball and over his own movement.

That is the Law of Catch.... Law no. 32

Have You ever played Cricket.... Commenting is more easier....

Why should Flinty have walked??? Who is an ASS???

[landsurfer66]

@hitrohit2001 Why are you so angry? It's just my opinion. A lot of people have also commented that it was a catch, and I'm certainly not alone when I say that Freddy is a dick.

[hitrohit2001]

@landsurfer66

Yeah you are right... Its just an opinion. And you are definitely not alone when you say Freddy is a dick.

I am not angry at all. You take care.

[kgpgotenks]

well,that made no fucking difference to the match

[IntimateSitara]

ha ha

[shayk47]

Freddie is a peice of shit, what the fuck kind of shot was that, can't wait for next ashes you cunt, you're going to get fucked up.

[hazapots1]

@shayk47 you donut fred has retired from international test cricket

[aahan1]

even the greats make mistakes. Greetings from Pakistan .... :P

[33Buffy]

was flintoff given OUT???

[timmyedmundson]

@33Buffy No He went on to score a 102

[sonofthedestroyer]

What is the commentator saying?

That is a catch. He had it controlled and dropped it when he tried to throw it up to celebrate

[rienzied]

What would you expect from Freddie. I have heard his comments on the field about bravo and he was a nasty pommie guy. I just wish he'd come to Australia for the Ashes and get his ass whipped. Lara, is a great, Freddie is no where near him. BTW that was a catch...

[xixad]

was that sarwan bowling??

[lilluckster111]

@xixad yes it was

[hakoon1234]

I believe this was the match where lara scored 400 not out. England held on for a draw, if lara had taken that catch things might've been different. oh well funny stuff!

[karthiksa2]

and the keep was like WTF....

[KJtheMC]

he had contol of the ball for a split second there

[sridharakella1995]

hahaha. funny - seeing a legend drop an easy catch.

[devDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD]

Brian Lara is the biggest joker ever to play cricket and extremely arrogant

[dravidr007]

gibbsy

[ghand111]

sir brian my god............i m glad i have vitnessed the god playing on the earth........utkarsh pratap singh.india rajasthan.....

[28PaulS]

In out shake it all about

[mrperfect88imtheone]

he messed it up

[boparai22g]

noo....bcz the rule says that u should have control over the ball (i.e. in control of throwing it but lara doesn't)

[HeavyVerbzz]

was that given out...coz it is

[PARRAEELSROCKIN]

I think that it was a catch but because he went for it again,he made it look like he droped it.If he didnt go for it a second time it could have been a celebration.

[nomitata]

lol dumb ass ...excitement leads to failure remember that. shh i need to remember that for my next match

[eddyvideostar]

@PARRAEELSROCKIN -- ParreelsRocking. I do see what you mean and I totally agree with you. I believe that it was a clean catch, obviously, by the celebratory facial expression of Lara. This would had coincided with the physical celebration if not for his attempted diving for the acrobatic slip.

[shieldspaz]

how about you tell us if he made the catch, since you made the fucking video!

[5ammy13]

What! Idians are shit? You are mistaken you b***h, you w**re YouRshit!

[IndiaRshit]

he caught it but had no control of it so Lara himself felt he had not taken the catch good to see he didn't try and argue like a cheating little indian K unt

[AerospaceEngineer90]

If he didn't try to catch that again it'd have been given out.

[mcdelive]

stupid LARA, that is an OUT...!

[trinikagekavir]

dont diss the prince

[Supremedestruction]

It could be debated either way. I think the reason it wasn't given out was because Lara didn't claim it afterwards.

[menec4]

Thats out

[FaddleonLSD]

Very surprised Lara worried about dropping it when he was throwing it up, coz he long completed the catch and had control before then.

[niknfsmw]

catch FAIL !!

[RainbowStripeySocks]

:O Woah! Droppped the ball.

[timmyedmundson]

too focused on his 400

[SilverDarkHorse]

wonder what Flintoff was thinking.

[ghad81]

When the ball was behind his back he should have ignored it.Then it would have seemed as though he had completed the catch (full control) and then tossed the ball away.

[EmoTheElephant]

haha, looks like he tried to show off and failed XD

[Buggaton]

I was watching that live and even as an Englishman I thought that was out. He had control and lost it in celebration. Always nice playing the Windies though. Great sports.

[Leighakin]

Doesn't matter, You have to show you have full control of the ball when your throwing it away

[machine187187]

You are a retard... where does it say in the rules that you need to have control until your celebration is over. You are obviously a pommy inbred.

[Leighakin]

LAW 32 3.(a)(II). The Act of making the catch shall start from the time when a fielder first handles the ball and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control both over the ball and over this own movement.

For Example, he demonstrated he did not have control when he accidentally threw the ball away, and then tried to re-take the catch. When he tried to re-take the catch he proved he didn't have full control.

Btw Don't ever call me a pom again.... I'm Aussie i hate the stuck up poms.

[machine187187]

Wow you quoted something from a rule book. Did you happen to see him have full control?

Common sense mate.

[Leighakin]

Yeah i quoted it cos that dickhead "machine1871187" wanted to know where it says you need to have full control!

And yeah i did see that he had control, But he didn't have control of his actions, when he tried to get rid of it!

Stop targeting me, I'm not the one giving it not out, I'm not saying he didn't have control when he first caught it, I'm just saying the bloody rules! lara didn't even claim the catch after he DROPPED the ball! I don't even care who beat who

[machine187187]

That's the Aussie spirit!

Ha Ha

[Leighakin]

Dam straight

[07505403236]

ha ha ah a, lovely comment, funny comment, infact iam not laughing at the video, but iam laughing my lungs out on ur comment

[machine187187]

We make youtube fun.

[maccy809]

the wicket keeper was just standing there like "what the hell are you doing?'

[midnightrambler03]

England 1st innings trails by 504 runs... classic

[Pakistani290]

lol @ flintof

[Anwaar1982]

i think it was a clean catch, he held onto it for couple of seconds.. but it was the sportsmanship in him that he thought otherwise. Great Sportsman Lara.

[wardos69]

@Anwaar1982 the law says you must have control over the catch AND the further disposal of the ball if you drop it while disposing of it it is not a catch. This is the same as Gibbs dropping Waugh in the world cup in 1999

[2pacblud]

rule is that you should have control of it i think he did and then he jus dropped it whilst celebrating

[adsonkool]

same as gibbs

[makpak]

gibbs is a racist cheat, but my God what an athlete that guy could of been.

[baylewis]

could have been? he has been, for years now

[Jurassic56]

The law says you have to be in control of the further disposal of the ball, so it's not a catch.

[huntergatherers]

indeed, you think that'd stop fielders from hurling the ball in the air... i've always admired how sachin had a proclivity to responsibly roll the ball towards the square leg umpire if he took a slips catch

[noongar1234]

he had the ball in his hands for 1 second so i think that that is a catch

[nook3y]

the rule says that you have to have it in your hands for AT LEAST 4 seconds...

[247custard]

Well in that case it's never upheld, because players throw the ball in the air all the time after catching, almost always for less than 4 seconds.

[nook3y]

I 100% agree with you, but that's what the book says...

[bungalibabu]

yeh to pan dee fuddi ho gayi...

[dalian94]

similar to gibbs catch...............

[rossoneri0007]

lol....reminds of gibbs DROPPing the world cup..!

[brookslfc123]

if he had jsut run to sarwan after if would have been given out, but becuase he is an honest man he makes it clear he dropped it.

[ashishtandon07]

so true.

[krishansy]

He is no Australian. He is honest.

[FaddleonLSD]

Hahahaha we thrashed India in India.

[nimo75]

Hmm, I've seen similar at domestic level, a final infact , and billy bowden was umpiring and the keeper caught it, but dropped it as he was about to celebrate and it was still out anyway.

[eddieTHEGREAT999]

how long does the ball have to be under control 4 ?

[nighteyes111]

No set time. When the fielder disposes of the ball it must be under his control. For example, if a fielder catches the ball then attempts to throw it up in celebration but it slips from his hands in that act, it's counted as not out.

[cricketbodyboard]

Its not how long, but you have to have a correct clean disposal of it. Its not a matter of time, its a matter of how.

[IronCrescent]

Lol the crowds agony screams

[vulpecula999]

ha ha ha ha ha serve him right - big baby

[TGS1TGS2]

FUCK U BITCH I SURE U IS A FUKIN INDIAN

[T9Trix]

oh well.. swer that was the match he made 400. look at the score

[jamisjj]

he had control but he needs to control the release of the ball too which he didnt

[blackchamp95]

awesoem clearity

[robbo4pm]

out; he had control over the ball and his body, even if it wasn't for very long at all.

[6468lee]

Looks very caught to me...he controlled the ball, then ran off, what he did not control was the celebration...THAT'S OUT!

[postmanpat09]

The law states you have to have the ball under control until you release it, he did not.

[pirocan1]

maybe he was trying to give England a chance.

[Roadrunnerz45]

this is the game lara scored 400 i think

[kricketking786]

it is

[28PaulS]

it was in, out, shake it all about!

[lukehantzis93]

Oh well. They were 594 runs ahead!

[pirocan1]

a herschelle gibbs moment

[Phositis]

Out.

[postmanpat09]

Not out.

[6468lee]

I guess it is a discretion call here...He fumbled the ball, then gained control of the ball and his own body, then ran off...when he tried to celebrate, he lost control again...the mistake he made was in attempting to re-catch the ball again, he made himself look guilty.

[ducking0101]

Agreed

.the mistake he made was in attempting to re-catch the ball again, he made himself look guilty.

[HomieFroPro]

t0000 happy .. who did he try giving the ALYYOOP..... (i dont know whow to spell it i forget)

[coreydec]

reminds me of herchelle gibbs dropping the world cup!

[shamoni8]

lol at ian botham pissing all over himself. relax man, you're back by 500 fucking runs and 5 wickets down

[vicavox]

Exactly, when you're 500 runs behind and 5 wickets down you've got to laugh about something.

[rajagrewal23]

lawl

[umairsddq]

look at ridley jacobs he is laughing as lara drops it lol

\

[slowrock12]

haahahahahaahhaah

[geoffnicholson999]

Botham is such a twerp

"I'm actually wondering whether that's under control."

Given that Lara dropped the ball, it think it's pretty fair to say that it wasn't, eh Ian?

[shootingstarisborn]

I remember Gatting doing that. He looked a right idiot at the time!

[WJCairns]

Have never understood why fielders are so stupid as to throw the ball up when they caught it

[Protea4ever]

lol reminds me of gibbs

[campbelltheteddy]

was that after his 400

[Sajj007]

lol

[Errosion5bucks]

That's not the only time he's done that.

[vamberika]

oh shit LOL he looked soo disappointed after aaw aaaw

[usernameemanresu]

I've never understood why fielders are so obsessed with throwing the ball up in the air as quickly as possible,it's almost as if catching the ball isn't as important to them as making sure they celebrate the wicket.

[makpak]

they go with the momentom.

[butterflyinthesky654]

aww

it was suppose to be out..but he lost control when he was gonna through it..:(

[xSrilankanGirl08x]

That should be out!

[jazzeffc]

i hate it when players throw the ball up instantly after a catch

[siddsingh12]

gibbs like. only difference that this was no world cup.

go lara!

[haroonaftab]

Lol, the crowd screams in shock.

[neo0092]

400 Not Out..damn cool..hes fantastic!!!

[Australian290]

whats flintof doing there stood there lara catches flintof loked and still standing three

[Krekket]

Because he was fumbling with the ball maybe? I mean come on, he had it and dropped it. That's it.

[gthotshot]

was it ruled a catch after replay?

[qamarbilalsyed]

the thing is Lara was still in his action and the law says u must keep the ball in ur hands untill the body motion completes or u can throw the ball during the action after catching it.. that is why its not out

[sonnyvanar]

poor dude ...u can aee the pain on his face...he is sorry.let im off as the one below me said

[aussiestuff]

he made 400 that match, i think weel let him off lol

[Bisharoeli]

did he make 400 in this game?

[Squidlover1000]

I dont know why they always lob it after catching it. The rules aren't water tight, so there's always a chance something will go wrong.

[rabylim]

they lob it as a sign of being under control of the ball. if u can throw it, you have control of it

[lawro04]

ha ha scored a world record 400 runs did not win the test match dropped a catch slimar to gibbs catch of steve waugh which he dropped ridicious meaning that your world record means nothing. at least when hayden scored 380 his team won by an innings and 175 runs.

[zulu17]

ya 380 against the mighty Zimbabwe...hail the next Bradman!!!!

[Krekket]

It's true, I mean, 380 against zimbabwe, It's not easy but like, 400 against England beats it. I'm not gonna say he's a bad batsman but yeah.

[rob83x2]

Leicester vs Yorkshire Twenty20.

[MIJ000]

u know if he wouldnt have dived for it than it would have been counted as a catch

[Islandbuoy]

So true
