Geoff Boycott and Tony Greig- classic commentary 1997 Ashes

[TheGus619]

Well he was on 177* and your criticising him

[tosgem]

Not hard to believe Boycott beats his wife when you listen to how testy he is

[Tehui1974]

"Dozy twit". LMFAO

[commodore665]

You have to admire the Yorkshireman , they don't call a spade a spade , they call it bloody shovel . you dozy twit .

[MrOzanachronism]

They don't suffer fools lightly, these Yorkshiremen.

[hellomarkdch]

You can say what you like about Taylor's off drive, but that graphic shows his best shot is clearly the edge through slips.

[whatsdoing23]

Greg Blewett had a great cover drive.

[robelinda2]

@whatsdoing23 Just sublime cover drives.

[Pegasus82nd]

@robelinda2 I was always a fan of Blewett's pull shots too. I recall him being one of the first Aussie batsmen to stop showing fear of the Windies quicks and start actually attacking their short bowling. It was just a short arm jab and taking it off his raised front knee - but how he ever did that against Ambrose - I will never know!

[shutuprafa]

if you listen carefully, you can hear Greig laughing in the background after Boycs calls him out

[blackkkladder]

Whenever Geoff's name comes up, his trade mark comment comes to my mind.. "Smashing! Really really smashing shot!" lol..

[cockywatchman1976]

Haha, Greig was shaken

[B1985A]

I was at a function a few years back and Allan Lamb was one of the guest speakers. The emcee asked him about Boycott. Lamb's exact words were "he's a cunt"

[ak47popper]

@B1985A why did he say that?

[B1985A]

@ak47popper Lamb hates him. He told a story of when he was quite young and playing in the same team as Boycott. There was a spinner playing for another team (i forget who it was!) and no one knew how to play him. Lamb one day worked out the best way to play him and told Boycott as he was captain. Boycott then told him not to tell anyone else in the team. Lamb says Boycott was selfish and didnt want anyone else to be better then him. I dont know if the story is true but thats what he said

[ak47popper]

@B1985A odd...

[igorolman]

@B1985A That was Basil d'Oliveira and Johnny Gleeson, iirc. Maybe the 70/71 Ashes? Brearley referred to it (without names!) in 'The Art of Captaincy' too.

[sohailmm]

love u @robelinda2 mate

[hirdy6]

Lucky Tony wasn't a woman, Boycott might have belted him.

[Swannerator]

Absolutely classic stuff from both of 'em! "What's this then, Scotch mist?" "He's a left-hander, ya dozy twit!" Thanks for posting this one Rob!  :)

[woz19]

He's a left hander you dozy twit!

[MrOzanachronism]

@woz19 What do you call this, Scotch mist?

[mcgillianaire]

Mate, how much stuff did you tape over the years?! I'm not complaining like!! Thanks a lot for all of these golden memories.

[samester123]

thanks robelinda2 for your efforts.. those two are my favorite commentators.. Cheers from an Indian fan!!

[Vtaggar]

hahah this is hilarious

[kamyueloh]

you dozy twit... my mum plays more shots than that on the off side

Genius

[TheSageofWestRiding]

That's not how you play criiickiit! Eeeasier than't shellin peas that! Poor shot again! Terriiiiible crickiiit!

[yennavai646]

Hehehe..Tony got pwned..I don't know how you do it Rob..Even if recorded the whole match,to remember when this happened so that you could edit it later is no mean feat..Fantastic upload !!

[robelinda2]

@yennavai646 Hah, its funny, when this was on at the time i though tit was funny, and a few months ago I thought it would make a good upload, so I had to go through HOURS AND HOURS of this test to find the commentary I wanted!!!!! I wasn't even sure I still had it, could've been anywhere in the 5 days.

[yennavai646]

@robelinda2 : Do you tape every international game?? Or maybe every Test match? You must have a whole room in your house full of VHS tapes :D ..With tivo around now,it's so much easier..Storage is not so cumbersome & you can always fast forward to access what you want..It must be a right old pain in the backside to search recorded VHS tapes,convert & then upload..You are a very dedicated cricket lover..2 thumbs up for your effort..May there be another 1000 more videos :)

[robelinda2]

@yennavai646 Yes Ive tried to tape every match since i started taping, in 1981. I store everything these days on large hard drives, but still have over 20,000 dvd's and videos. TIVO and the stuff like that is ok, but it just doesn't store enough stuff for proper long term storage.

[yennavai646]

@robelinda2 : Of all the passions one can have in life Cricket is the best !! And I thought only Indians were mad about this sport..If you're in my part of the world,look me up..You're welcome into my house any day of the week..Don't let the haters get you down..More power to you..Cheers

[Camelsarse]

@robelinda2 Have you got the 167* by Robin Smith by chance?

[zingzangspillip1]

@robelinda2 Keep it up, Rob. It's fantastic, seeing these great memories.

[afghanforlife]

@robelinda2

do you mind sharing some classic matches or innings or sessions?

[ashishdwivediUSA]

@robelinda2 You are a legend.

[usernamealredytaken]

Boycs will f*ck you up!

[CoolStoryBrosauce]

@melodichousemusic "ya dozy twit", is what he said.

[crazycurry90]

[CoolStoryBrosauce]

@crazycurry90 He's still around... commentates for a few channels...

[CoolStoryBrosauce]

LOL I love Geoff Boycott's commentary.... he should replace the god-awful Mark Nicholas for Ch 9.

[dinoguy22]

[U2one100]

Awesome.. Pls upload such commentary gems Rob whenever u find one..

[cje1]

do you have blewett's dismissal from the 1st innings of this game. pretty sure he was bowled by a no-ball then caught at slip the next ball

[RoheeeeCricket]

hahaha dosy twit

[TheDLPVideos]

How good is Blewett's cover drive at the end!

[majesticmaniac]

"Tendulkar was getting out playing cover drives in an India vs Australia series in Australia...so he decided to cut that shot...next innings he score 241 runs without a single cover drive " - Shane warne

[spooks2]

Hahah .. This is Gold!!!
