on 5:50-And Beatles used to sing "It wont be long" sure Chappelli is a Beatles fan  check /watch?v=dcbL6OBT6Zc

[thewalkindude00]

poor old athers had no idea against mcgrath!

[funkymailfreak]

14:04 the delivery was a peach! You can't play those sort of deliveries

[aieeeful]

the 18th one is awsome

[robelinda2]

@aieeeful Now i have to go watch it!

[TheThetechnician]

im an aussie but atherton is well respected by us...mcgrath was too good for lots of batsmen

[artegall1]

No player's average has been more negatively affected by a single bowler. Take innings against McGrath out of the reckoning and it touches 50. Odd because he played Pollock really well.

@vindaisatossermini

Yawn...

[blackadderedmund]

I love athers..brilliant mind and a thorough gentleman cricketer when there was a scarcity of them in that era..steadied's england's ship throughout the 90's except against australia..At 18.42 you can see that he is deeply disappointed - disappointment of having tried but failed for your country. his problem with Mcgrath is he played him on backfoot most of time and didnt leave too many balls outside offstump. i love his commentary. he and hussain are the most insightful. Best with Bill lawry

[cabinet96vids]

To be fair you could be a bunny against much worse bowlers.

[DeepanjanDatta]

The hallmark of a great bowler - looks like he detected early Athers wasn't quite comfortable against the extra bounce, even if somewhat fortuitously down the leg side. But just look at how relentlessly he preys on that .. inch-perfect bouncers, in that channel outside off, movement either way off the seam. Easy as it sounds - incredible control! Treasure of a video.

[b3ta3000]

This was really good bowling by McGrath, but, Athers could of avoided about 10 of these dismissals

[nottellingu0]

cricinfo has used this vid

[bulltiger18]

What I noticed is that Atherton received a lot of short pitched bowling from McGrath and most times he was out also he never scored a 50 when McGrath got him out

[elevander]

Bunch of crappy umpire decisions, but doesn't detract from the fact that McGrath was an awesome bowler.

[santoshgrg]

i was surprised to see only one LBW and no BOWLED!!!

[proudindian0173]

poor mcgrath stands no way near to legends akram nd younis who plays most cricket in subcontinent on dead wickets.... its jst dat pitches outside subcontinent suits cunts lik mcgrath...FAIR DINKUM robe... good on u 4 posting dis vid

[robelinda]

@proudindian0173 Check again man, McGrath's record in the subcontinent is excellent.

[Imrankniazi]

@robelinda It's much better in India than in Sri Lanka and Pakistan. That proudindian0173 is most certainly an idiot, because he fails to realise something. If a player plays that long he would end up having one or two bad tours.

The man averages 21 runs per wicket in India. If that is not exceptional bowling on dead tracks, I wonder what is.

[icecreambang]

Thanks for that - can't say I enjoyed it seeing as I'm an England supporter, but well put together! ; ) Couple of ropey decisions but what surprised me was the amount of legside dismissals. Good batsman though. Great bowler.

[pjilkaxsx]

Poor guy, how many times was he strangled down leg?

[averythehero]

Poor Athers. My all time favorite test innings is his epic 185 not out in South Africa to save the test. A truly old school innings and one of the best of all time. It summed Athers up perfectly. Back against the wall, tenacious and trying to stave off defeat. Not a great batsman by any means but the best we had at that time. Opening against McGrath, Akram, Younis, Ambrose, Walsh and Donald was not easy.

Now he is one of the best commentators in the game. God bless Iron Mike.

[robelinda2]

@averythehero Yep he was a hero of mine, and i think he is one of the best commentators of all time, not just a current great, I love his commentary! Ive uploaded full series highlights of that 95/96 test series in south africa on my other channel, good viewing!

[imthemess]

@robelinda2 lol Robbie 'WARNING- several bunnies were harmed in making this video.....well actually it was the same bunny over and over again.' :D i love you rob xoxoxoxoox

Shay

[wigs666]

@averythehero very true and very well put!

[RolexTharsus]

Edged...

...and out

[DilPakistanDil]

all caught? lol good medium pace line length bowler

[rk1271]

Goes to show you need the basics of line and length and you can get any of the best batsmen with the latest bat technology OUT without needing to be express pace. No one in the current era can bowl as accurately and intelligently as McGrath. Genuine class, Pidge!

[mymentor]

@Crkt4Eva

"19 times Mr. Atherton! = Pathetic"

How many test centuries do you have, perchance? BTW, Atherton has 16.

[Crkt4Eva]

@mymentor - Does it matter whether someone has 0, 10 or even hundred centuries!, infact, how many Test centuries do you happen to have "mymentor" ?

Not only has M.Atherton been dismissed by G.McGrath on 19 occasions (more than his actual 16 Test centuries!) but also G.McGrath's 563 Test wickets is a much better ratio than M.Atherton's 16 century's, & that's a Englisman sayin all this...

By the way, learn how to reply properly on YouTube where it says "Reply", click on that button from now on.

[mymentor]

@Crkt4Eva

I have zero test centuries. Two first-grade centuries in Western Australian penant cricket, for the record.

Then again, I don't feel the need to call players who have played at the highest level "pathetic".

[Crkt4Eva]

@mymentor - "Two first-grade centuries" - Good for you.

I'm not calling Mr. Atherton "Pathetic"........i'm calling his actual 19 dismissals to Mr. McGrath "Pathetic"!, there's a difference!, if you had read my original text right you would originally understand.

[mymentor]

I haven't seen such dominance...

...since the last Ashes series, where England destroyed the pathetic Australian side in every department. What Australia wouldn't give for a bowler 1/8th of McGrath's pedigree now.

[CoolStoryBrosauce]

And this is how it's done.

[madaboutsleep]

Wow. McGrath definitely had the wood over him.  Got a few roughies though.

[abner5640]

Mercy, Now that whats you call a bunny!!! they were all Tests!!

[TomAraya23]

thanks!!

[VegemiteWarrior93]

I think Australia needs a few Mike Atherton's next Ashes series.

[damo24now]

it was like shelling peas
