Glenn McGrath vs Peter Kirsten 1993/94 Perth- BONK!!!! Duck, sway or hook Mr Kirsten.......

[wishwacom]

is this deadly game :/

[jme682]

Topped off with great commentary by Tony Greig...

[morningstomper123]

Smashed him.

[freddo2311]

Hey rob do you have the whole game cause if so later in the innings they show the helmet and you can see where the ball bent the grill.

[rawikrishna]

Why did umpire signal it as a dead ball?

[ibraheym]

arrogant mcgrath as always , didnt even bother to go near batsman

[mattypope]

@ibraheym Yawn.

[lubreddy]

lol mgrath didnt care he was ready to go back and line him up again

[Flagfalls]

I'd like to see T20 matches being played on these kinds of wickets. At least the poor bowlers will have a fair chance. In fact, the Indian T20 team should be forced to bat on these tracks.

[TheTrippleTKA]

0:20 epic. he wants to feel bad, but then he feels sorry.

[IanGorton]

after this Peter Kirstin had the short earguards as reinforcement on his helmet along with the face grill

[Pablo34643]

obviously nice to see the Ausies help poor Pete, he didn't expect it to bounce low. Glen was a bit of a chop for not going over initially.

[MrRonsmagic]

wow...great scenes....Mcgrath facing the worst emotional turmoil of his life...Not sure what to do....go over and check out if the batsmen is still alive?? or go back to his mark and make sure the next ball takes care of business for good??and to top it off....the good ol classical stretcher..much better than those funny transport mobiles they have these days....great upload...thx again rob!!

[TheMaverickanupam]

Need more wickets like these- will get some of the bloated averages down esp subcontinental flat track bullies

[MultiGoliath007]

@TheMaverickanupam Wow,if a ball shoots off good length (with absolutely no credit to the bowler) its a good 'sporty' wicket and if the balls turns and spits and the batsman has to dance and show technique,then it is a doctored pitch...really mature you are and bird brained too

ciao

[TheMaverickanupam]

@MultiGoliath007Are u hammered? Pl reread my comment. I have never said whatever u r writing

[tejucroc]

itz like a nightmare for the batsmen , he would've thought that i should'nt ve played

[GetBackToNowhere]

Rob, did McGrath bowl a lot faster in the early stages of his career? That easily looks 140+, maybe even 145+

[robelinda2]

@GetBackToNowhere Oh absolutely.

[GetBackToNowhere]

@robelinda2 this was posted on the guardian lolol

[robelinda2]

@GetBackToNowhere Ah cool! I didn't see! link?

[GetBackToNowhere]

@robelinda2 Messaged it to you

[sheralito]

This is bulshit pitch. if this pitch had been in some colured country, the whity team would have walked away from the game. Bullshit pitch.

[georgerd21]

looks like Glenn McGrath could not give a shit about it....what an asshole...

[ZIGSVIDS]

@georgerd21

He was trying to hit him in the head in the first place.cant really say "sorry fella ,i didn't mean it .."

[james1471]

Looked like he was trying to headbutt the ball

[TheMaverickanupam]

It is very tough to play on these wickets.Balls shooting from short of gud length. there is an element of fear which makes the game all the more interesting to spectators

[BlackestBreed666]

THAT is why i don't wear a helmet i knew there was a reason.

[GeelongCC]

[BlueKiaser]

@robelinda2 Why do I laugh every time I read your upload description for this video? Is that Aussie humour or am I just sinister. Love McGrath's reaction ... like shooting fish in a barrel.

[jstreete]

Kirsten looked very dodgy against pace in England in 1994

[theuglyhairmonster2]

and kirsten could never face a bouncer again xD

[Come2PaaPaa]

LOL WEL MCGRATH HS ALWAYS BEEN MEDIUM PACER AT BEST. KIRSTEN THOUGHT HE CANT BOUNCE HIM:D

[GetBackToNowhere]

Ponting would've taken it like a man

[pradeepanisonline]

Dude, you were too harsh :-) That ball bounced off a length.! I blame Mcgrath's wrists or the pitch.

[ledpaige]

Question for Rob: Could you tell who the WK is ? ;)

[robelinda2]

@ledpaige come on, give me a hard question. The WK almost got picked in the test team for his leg spinners....TIMMY!

[ledpaige]

nope.,..looks like Dean Jones...Moody wasnt even in the squad

[ledpaige]

might be Moody...he is pretty tall ;)

[ledpaige]

i'm wondering who's that Aussie who ran in quick to help him...initially I though Mark Waugh but then i saw him walking slowly with his usual swagger into the scene

[nscollay]

Didn't Chris Cairns hit Gary Kirsten in the head in the previous ODI a day or so before this, on the same pitch? I think that's where the six stitches are from? I have vague memories of this...

[robelinda2]

@nscollay He sure did, its uploading right now.....5 mins away....

[say2chander]

Shoaib Akhtar to Gary Kirsten was also horrible !!!

[say2chander]

@say2chander

Or was it Lara, may be both. I thought they both died seeing their reaction !!
