"@saccerzd Both teams were told they were being filmed for a NatWest documentary, so they were expecting cameras, but not Gary Watson."

[MrHistorian123]

I know of one lower score than this - Dringhouses 2nd XI were bowled out for 3 by Cawood in about 1979 in the York Senior League. (I was watching as Dringhouses had asked me to join them). The first ball of Cawood's innings went for 4 byes, so they won without any of their batsmen hitting the ball.

Fair play to Vaughany - he's a really top bloke and knows how to have a laugh. Those players will have something special to tell their grandkids.

[Andyjzr]

What is the music/song when Vaughany is batting well?

[RichlyEvo]

@Andyjzr It's Heavy Action and was the theme tune to 70s/80s sports competition Superstars.

[Andyjzr]

Watching Gary play, it's the timing, the pose, the footwork, reading the line so well, just like me on a Saturday. Ok, well probably not but I shall play my village cricket, get out to a hoo har down Cow's corner and lose. Thne we will have a beer win or lose I love Cricket.

@saccerzd Both teams were told they were being filmed for a NatWest documentary, so they were expecting cameras, but not Gary Watson.

[Andyjzr]

@saccerzd. The film was made under the guise of recreating the match as set out in the description.

[DAYDREAMER6677]

Billy Connolly?

[dave41184]

Fair play Michael Vaughn - shows he's game for a laugh!

[grimfandango2006]

Okay, he only got 28, but you can really tell that he was a test player, great balance and easy timing

great vid

[saccerzd]

Didn't the other team wonder why a cameraman was there?

[SweetEdits]

@saccerzd they thought they were filming them about being the worst team in the world i think

[saccerzd]

@SweetEdits ah thanks

[hillinteriors]

I got 64 n.o there this season, more than Vaughan!!!

[bluemoonmossy]

i use preperation H for my roids

[milx561]

Looked a little like Tommy Saxondale.

[exoticasian30]

The fella who took Vaughan's wicket must be feeling top babana right at this moment. Well done, son.

[TrevorHickman]

Stephen Hester (NatWest CEO) is paid an annual salary of £1.2 million. Alongside this, he took home £7.7m in bonus and pension payments. Not bad considering the British taxpayer bailed out the banking sector. Oh, but sorry I forgot NatWest are helping local cricket clubs, so that's ok.

[blueandwhite01]

Well Vaughan's a top lad but all banks can go **** themselves. Its amazing that they have the cheek to spend money on advertising after costing the people of this country a fortune as well as many of their jobs.

[MrHuddy]

Great stuff Vaughany!! Well played sir. Classy strokes too. I'm glad they won it not just because of him :)

[SaucyBoii]

stupid large multi billion pound corporations throwing their money around to try win over hearts and gain good publicity. the people havent forgot how much debt you have put the country in over your selfish actions and deeds!

Cricket!!!

Shit sport....nuff said

[llREBll]

@coloboii u mad bro?

[ludocrat]

They've got to sort his makeup out. And his voice. Give him some helium or something. That was a classy 28 though - on a greentop against some pretty greazzy pies. I mean come on.

[TRIGMASTER06]

Not being funny but 28 mr vaughan? u wasnt really needed.

[ande2375]

brilliant

[ZachClooney]

Funny video. Michael Vaughan's voice is unique. How come nobody worked it out? Vaughan should have kept quiet.

[SmileyDude909]

5:52 - YOUR FACE!

GODDAMNIT!

[95jackrogers]

Thumbs up if TALKSPORT took you here!

[95jackrogers]

Thumbs up if TALKSPORT took you here!

[tedmaulz]

NATWEST owned by the Rothschilds

[johnsmalling]

[sparkyoshie]

cheating bastard lol

[Catandthespoon]

A Viral ad which DOESN'T suck???

[TBONE889]

why would cricket officials look like butchers??

[weinitzmctolley]

Out out out! Playing the wrong line. He were standing on the Piccadilly when he wanted the Waterloo !

[MrHistorian123]

I play for a team not far from Harrogate and my teammates think this is the funniest thing ever, because "Gary Watson" could be my identical twin (though he might need a slightly bigger pillow) even down to the white floppy hat. He bats a bit better than I do, though.

I'm just waiting for someone to say "you're Michael Vaughan in disguise" and try to pull my face off when I walk out to play.

[vastariner]

Must be slightly galling for the chap that bowled Vaughan out not to realize what he had done at the time. Still, at least there's proof.

[absj1966]

I heard Vaughan talking about this on TMS - what a great idea! The guy batting at the end looked pretty useful as well!

[andrewhebron]

credit to the bowler who got him out...

Lucky Vaughany didnt pull his own wig off as well at the end

[bigtubeweetube]

Brilliant Michael. TMS 4 ever :-)

[23duff]

Gary Watson needs to learn not to play across his line like that! Reminiscent of an old ex-England captain..... LOL

[DynastySnipin]

LOL AT ISAAC SITTING AT THE BACK AT 2:43

[grantcampbell7]

YAY for cricket!

[nickedmonds575]

Long live TMS! A beacon of light in a scary world!

(lighten up, CMJ)

[MrBollockFace]

My mother would have scored more than 28 using a stick of rhubarb.

[andrewhebron]

@MrBollockFace

yes Geoffrey.....without pads on no doubt

[anshuman0001]

@MrBollockFace lol he says "mum"

[TheGreenkt]

Would the result stand if they played with a ringer in the team? Presumably it was in some kind of league where there are rules against that kind of thing?!

[tompoynton]

@TheGreenkt "In August 2011, NatWest staged a rematch giving Goldsborough a chance to win back some pride and Dishforth the opportunity to prove it wasn't a one off. To help Goldsborough avoid history repeating itself, NatWest gave them a secret weapon.... The Secret Cricketer."

[HiggsBosonNova]

@TheGreenkt

I think that it was just a friendly as they are both in different leagues now. Otherwise, yes, Dishforth could have complained to the league that the ex-England skipper was batting for them. Having said that, in rugby union, JPR Williams used to play for his local club once he gave up playing at the highest level.

[kallikrates55]

Wonderful, thanks TMS and Michael

[nphanlon1973]

brilliant...c'mon mike goldsborough expects...

[ben9DB]

Brilliant!

[DPwillow1983]

Absolutely class, great banter.

[chrispook1975]

Nice one Gary!

[heedihoo]

Typical Vaughan dismissal, playing across the line...!

[LogMeInForFucksSake]

I cannot believe Vaughany actually got out! He'd done the hard stuff, played himself in, and then.....OUT trying to hook

[phillper0906]

Good man, well done Gary, sorry Michael.... :-)

[malcwest70]

proper job......

[blackwellgsa]

Nice one Mr Vaughan, wonderful footwork ;-)

[chuffy2000]

Thumbs up if TMS brought you here!



[HiggsBosonNova]

@chuffy2000

Sure did...

[007hor]

@chuffy2000, don't be a thumbwhore.

[markderbyshire01]

@chuffy2000 Fantastic...... MV you should be ashamed that you got out for only 28!! lol

[Lollyholly99]

@chuffy2000 I was brought here by ourworld.

[MrDelusionalPenguin]

@chuffy2000 the morning stream? :o

[englishwildman]

fantastic!

[remainingcasual]

This is ace! Virgil out pulling, again! It may as well have been Ricky Ponting bowling!

[dcmi11]

wonderfully executed, brilliant piece of viral film making at its best...

[Andyjzr]

That is genius!

[80850n]

10 people out for 0.

That's actually impressive O.o
