[EmileHeskeyIsGod999]

So so good

[ARUtowns11]

SUPER SUPER FIELDING 

[FrancisBerryman]

That would be a six. He was outside the boundary when he jumped and knocked it back in. The rules are clear, you have to have jumped from inside the boundary when you knock it back in.

[lastroach]

angelo mathews is a fucking asshole..my favorite player..cant wait to see many abdul razzaq like innings out of this guy...

- a pakistani

[ananth619]

[hellrazor226]

@ananth619 cuz there supposed to be standing in the field u dickhead...or don't u know how cricket is played?

[ananth619]

@hellrazor226 hope u hv not played cricket b4.....players r restricted 2 field only within da ring not outside da ring....u don't place ur self outside da ring & den do da blockin of da ball.....get da rules of cricket wind up 2 ur head asshole.....

P.S- I'm a die heart fan Of Srilanka..........So pls stop talking bullshit & get ur head cleared..........

[hellrazor226]

[hellrazor226]

[Big98abz]

@ananth619 The ball has to hit the ground dumbass learn cricket before you comment

[ananth619]

@Big98abz hope u hv not played cricket b4.....players r restricted 2 field only within da ring not outside da ring....u don't place ur self outside da ring & den do da blockin of da ball.....get da rules of cricket wind up 2 ur head asshole.....

P.S- I'm a die heart fan Of Srilanka..........So pls stop talking bullshit & get ur head cleared..........

[coolferon12]

@ananth619 No you idiot it is not a six. He was in the air and not touching the ground. For your information some catches have being taken by fielders by going to the pavilions and jumping and picking up catches. i will show you

[ananth619]

@coolferon12 .. well there may be catches taken dat way..but da fact is A player's limitation 2 field is only within da boundary & not out of it.........guess y I'm so clear & stern with it......cos it was accepted & admitted da same way by some leading legends like da ian bishops,da Richie Benauds & den by guys lyk Arsha bogle...if still not ready 2 accept ma call..tweet at cricinfo...u'll realize da fact..........

[sl11cricket]

angelo mathews made a another replica against ausssies, this time he got the breakthrough...but it was team effort by mathews +mahela..

[UD747RED]

Brilliant effort.. 

[Malaseen]

Ian Bishop one of the best commentators with the worst ever Laxman Sivaramakrishnan as much as I love Bish had to mute the video

[bagh98]

@Malaseen: Think it was Ranjeet Fernando

[Malaseen]

@bagh98 No It is Laxman Sivaramakrishnan can recognize that irritating voice very well, Ranjit is not great either but Laxman is the worst by war

[bagh98]

@Malaseen: ohh, I thought this guy was Laxman: 'watch?v=LVo_5m9_TZU&feature=r­elated' now that you say he's not, the only other name that comes to my mind is Sanjay Manjrekar, is he?

[sabeshhardy]

0.09 commentator sad what the hell

[L8foradate]

whether it was a six or not, it was pretty amazing fielding. Most ppl would've given up but he just kept on going until it was back on the field. Plus he's so cute so that's a bonus

[shanerod10]

how did he push it it would have broken his hand

[martin92282]

it was a six... pooor decisom

[k39425]

great a mathews

[maddogguitars]

nice one cricketchap for sorting out all of these oddball comments below and putting things straight. Of course he's saved the 6, amazing work!

[cricketchap]

"MCC, the Guardians of the Laws and Spirit of Cricket, has confirmed that the piece of fielding by Sri Lankan, Angelo Mathews, which took place during the ICC World Twenty20 game against the West Indies at Trent Bridge on Wednesday 10 June, conformed to the Laws of Cricket." - lords.org

[Yugalrocks123]

fukcing nigga

[nabilion]

@Yugalrocks123 he is lankan you dickhead.

[00kashyap00]

when a ball is going for a six, a fielder can go out, jump and punch the ball inside . What crap... this is a six. But yes, ood effort although it should have been caught. So it is a dropped catch and a 'supposed to be six' but cricket officials also suck!

[lewiedavies]

should have just cought it in the first place...........;)

[sunilnehra1990]

mast e catch

[kashi955]

Angelo Matthews is really good!!

[rajithaify]

he still manages to hit the stumps from the boundary. Unbelievable stuff.

[khabirist]

still an excellent efort ..its a six....

[gonibilla532]

@khabirist er....no its not!..

[AngelsRamin]

amazing stuff by Angelo...showing the real passion ...commitment and effort by Lions!

[yohanj25]

According to me this is a six !

[bysen100]

mea parath cup eka ape!!!!!

[bluebirdscc]

guys i want to know it is a six or not???

[bluebirdscc]

guys i want to know it is a six or not???

[albace11]

that was a six

cos once he stepped outside the boundary even he is in the air while trying to throw back , that he has stepped outside makes the effort void

[saccerzd]

@albace11 Not true.

[adibunker29]

gr8 job mathews

[feddcross]

He should really have caught it without all of the antics

[MegaSathira]

Mathews has done volleyball when he is a kid.

[Spakaya]

thats just proper srilankan

[DamienG9]

did you notice that it was a dirct hit from the boundary?

[StraightHugo]

he was in the air when he threw the ball back inside.. So its not a Six..

Wonderful stuff

[2SXC2H8]

@StraightHugo He jumped from outside of the boundary you idiot, doesn't matter if he was in the air or not

[unleashedtrojan]

@2SXC2H8 ur the idiot sorry.....he was in the air when he threw it back... the rules state it needs to LAND over the rope for it to be six...the ball didnt land over the rope....

[DonAbhilash]

He still hit it to the wicket from the boundry

[XxcricketXx1]

Angelo Mathews= A freak

[cgop93]

yeah technically it should be a six, but doesn't take away from the fact it's an awesome bit of fielding

[eeaadil]

i am going for 6 !!!!!

[jacktisninja]

isent that a six....he jumped from outside the boundary.

[DonAbhilash]

@jacktisninja This is not football bro. The ball should touch the ground.

[Midasthe2nd]

if u see a guy kill to save 1 run you know he wants to be there. the moment i saw this, i knew mathews was something special.

[shihadrocks]

well done lad! Played the innings of his life last night with Malinga, a record ninth wicket stand in ANY one day international to deny Australia, they were chasing 240 and mad it with 5 overs to spare, from 8/105 or so. Great, defining knock, and well done I say, even though I'm Aussie and he beat Australia!

[Jamal92554]

@shihadrocks that game was so awesome, australia may have done well early in the 2nd innings, but matthews and malinga too good for aus.

[TheSmootherCriminal]

@shihadrocks

I was there!

[hugga4u]

dont wanna mention the elephant in the room but the line is clearly pushed back, the whitening of the grass shows where the rope should have been, exactly where the ball lands. @ 41-42....

[gambitt101]

he could have put a somersault in there too..

[ali63714]

wow

[afridi10]

to indian talking abt yuvraj singh .here how u feild hahahaa yuvraj fake dives don make him num1 fielder.lmfao

[Midasthe2nd]

@afridi10 lol yes! yuvraj wouldnt get up once he makes those superhero dives.

[9869062039]

he is very good in playing Table-tennis too.........lol........

[manuppriya]

goooo sri lanka go...!!

[GAYANTHAK]

hes a freaking playR has a future deffa

[pendleaussie]

The future SL captain!

[RKOStunner]

Amazing.

[quantiseduniverse]

Does anyone know how long the ball must be held to be considered 'caught out'? I would have said 'caught out' if I was the third umpire.

[gandalfthegrey41]

@quantiseduniverse

Great actobatics and determination, but I would say that's a six, he managed to touch the ball while he himself was over the rope, isn't that the rule ?

[hsyedasif1]

u r the best mathews

[buddhika216]

and he hits the stumps in the return throw! wow

[grungemax]

RESPECT!

[Spakaya]

my best friend's face just look like mathews.

[maqmanu2]

hehas already proved himself in ipl 2010

[wodahsking]

This guy is awesome....he should go medium pace or spin....and bat at No 3. This is the guy to replace Aravinda.

[buddhika216]

@wodahsking did you see him yesterday against India? Crazy.

[Gareebrashid]

Great field ever by Methew

[ahmadkool99]

awesome work

[CPwatex]

Thats Sri Lanka!

[vidr09]

good work...although i tink that should have been six in all fairness...reason being that it did cross the boundary line..

[TheShaluka]

@vidr09 u asshole altho it crosd da line it dint tuch da graund

[jamesw123456]

fantastic fielding effort, just played a cracking innings in the IPL as well

[zuzzano1]

that was orsm good thinking

[nonamechannel]

Awesome. Angelo Mathew is a budding star for SL. From an Indian bro. Cheers.

[Thushan44]

what the fuck...he still manages to hit the stumps from back there!

[krashpolitics]

Thats not easy to slap a cricket ball like that. Awesome fielding.

[aaaaanold]

JOSEPHIAN MAFIA

Angelo Mathews and Thissara Perera - the two all rounders from one of Sri Lanka's most prominent catholic schools - St. Joseph's College in Darley Road, Colombo are popularly known as the Josephian Mafia for their all round exploits.

While Mathews can be both explosive and sedate in his batting along with his fast medium bowling, Perera could be flashy in his batting and aggressive in his bowling with a theatrical appeal to go with it.

[SportsGlobal]

it was definitely out but if he caught while standing outside the boundary it would be 6 . ha suckers who doubted me!

[tariqrider1]

great effort angelo mathews

[Krawna]

"we're both wrong, BITCH" :P

yes I know it's Bish for bishop

[SportsGlobal]

no minchi279 if the player takes the ball over the line its a four or a six you fucking prat

[isuru9941]

@SportsGlobal Don't show how ignorant you are on rules

There is no such rule as that

The only rules pertinent to the situation are

1. The fielder cannot have any part of his body outside the boundary ropes when the bowl is bowled. if so it's a no ball.

2. If the fielder has any part of his body touching the boundary or beyond the boundary when HE is in contact with the bowl as well- it is a six or four depending whether the bowl has bounced or not...don't show your stupidity

[zuzzano1]

@isuru9941 i dont mean to upset u but this is the interpratation on the your first rule its not classed as a no ball the fielder cant touch the ball and he is not aloud back on the ground until the end of the over

[justyomumma]

i was under the impression that you had to leap from inside the field of play before batting it back. cause otherwise why don't players stand, literally, on the fence if someone's blitzing sixes. makes like 3 ft taller and their further back from the boundry.

[crazybones2009]

@justyomumma..MAN ur stupid if they are standing outside the boundry when a catch comes if u touch the ground its a six anyway. Suppose he caught it being on the air but commonsense tells he would automatically land back on the ground that means outside the boundry which means a six anyway. So why would anyone be that stupid to field outside the boundry line..LMAO!

Stop bitching and whinning like a lil girl and applaud this Marvoulous fielding effort and more importantly the quick thinking

[justyomumma]

i'm saying that you stand on the fence and then leap off it, either to catch it and land back in the field of play, or leap up and slap it back into the field of play. and this is clearly a hypothetical situation

[crazybones2009]

Dude in an international match catches doesnt come that easy fr u to leap it and catch it while landing on the ground. Also why would anyone slap it back to the play when you had the chance to get the batsman out by catching it while inside the ground.

So why dnt u stop making stupid suggestions lookin like a fool

[sltorontodawg]

untalanted white puss*** are damn jelez of our damn talant...and its not a damn six u moron cuz i didn't touch the ground, u can catch a ball from any where inside a ground and throw it in to stop the six...

[neo0092]

it ws gr8 stuff by young cricketer..buh i think it ws a six cus it crossed d rope..buh dont understand wah is dat rule cuz it happened 1st tym in cric lyk dat, dats y dey didnt knw wah to do..just gave only runz.

[alilondonmet]

after all that dude actually managed to hit the stumps aswell!! what an effort !!

[barath1976]

To AmIReallyBad:

I assume you are a WHITE donkey then. If we Indians and Sri Lankans are black monkey. Then you should be an Australian monkey or an English Monkey or a New Zealand monkey. May be South African white monkey or Zimbawae white monkey. Mind your fucking language you fucking dumbshit "AmIReallyBad". If you use foul language on youtube then I have no hesitation in using the same language back at you dumbass. Get lost now!

[kunal209]

this shud have been a six..no doubt about it...otherwise the next time a batsman clears the ropes, the fielder would jump in the air outside the boundary, catch the ball n throw it back before hitting the ground

[minchi279]

this is over to sports global

[barath1976]

stupid Indians should learn from Sri Lankan players how to play cricket. Stupid Indian team. If you have money you could be part of Indian cricket team. Sri Lanka is great!

[samyacharitha]

fuck u ass hole. if we are black monkeys. u are the shit of the white monkeys. mind ur language. u are the people have sex with u own mothers and sisters. we proud to be a sri lankans. sure we are playing good cricket. india . pakisthan. and other south asian countries cricket is the best all over the world. fuck off u

[sanjamagha]

[alilondonmet]

[maqmanu2]

ur rite dude

[winnerherath]

ur totally crt .

[dilukabey]

The rule is the ball should touch the rope physically, wonder whether why dont understnad this simple thing. Its niether four nor six, No way!!!

[SportsGlobal]

mate billy bowden that is a mistake he touched outside the boundary without boucning that is 6

[kugan04]

no,the ball should be grounded....

if the fielder is having the ball,the fielder should have connection with the ground but when he is touching the ball , he is in the air.its not a six, not a four

[TAXX83]

it should av been a six....the ball passed the boundary..

[vjandfriends]
