[Siddhartha9020]

[stockylachy]

If you look closely you can see me being escorted from the stadium.

[BlackShotElementals]

Thumbs up if you came here from Nek Minute

[smillatt2]

Bowden is a cunt



[jpuk98]

astle almost hitting castle ......

[crackofmybutt]

3rd six had a sensational banana swing in mid air

[cwickster4]

not a bouncy one either...

[jalsa9]

lmao .. luk @ chria gayle

and astle playing golf here

[sissoko1234]

Probs 1 of my favourite NZ batsman

Did a decent job at Lancs as well

[keepviduzair]

real player

[kingcann]

Nathan Astle and James Franklin... The good old days with the DREAM TEAM!

[hamburger055]

franklin still plays u fuckwit...and nz never had a dream team

[ThrashTillDeath322]

@hamburger055 franklin is a fuckwit, hes the reason nz lose, hes useless

[ecconz]

@ThrashTillDeath322 Actually he saved us in two ODI's last year against Aus, being the top scorer and taking the most wickets. He does struggle though, he keeps getting picked as he is fucking amazing in domestic cricket. Could you do any better than him? No, you're one of those weird metal kids with no real skills who no one liked and school.

[ThrashTillDeath322]

@ecconz not really, i don't have long hair, i always hung out with a big group and none of them liked metal but they all liked exactly the same stuff and copied each other, even i liked some shit that i hate now just to fit in, but i gave up on listening to garbage a few years ago, I listen to what i like now.

anyway what the fuck does this have to do with franklin sucking for new zealand, and why are you sucking his cock? what are you his brother?

[driffter1976]

@hamburger055 Couldn't have said it better myself.

[zurtle]

Nathan has a beautiful golf swing, there.

[Gabpopp]

Does Gayle actually turn the ball or it is just flight?

[nimo75]

neither

[phillyfan06]

Lmao

[4EVERCHELSEA]

Such a big hitter for a small fella!

[skataboy10]

he would do that to any bowler

[JCHeadbanger]

Oh and to the person who said they were on the off side... have you ever played cricket before?

I was at the game so I can vouch for them being on the leg side.

[JCHeadbanger]

I was there too, in the number 1 stand

[malcolmjacobson]

i was at that game

[tekkioone]

very good timing but they were all on the off side same spot sixes

but very well hit

[1137moiz]

actually they were all on the leg side, long-on and midwicket

are you a lefty by any chance?

[tekkioone]

yea srry for the confusion im a lefty!

[1137moiz]

me too, mate!

[DaNFuSsElL]

I think u will find they were over mid on and mid wicket mate, which is on the leg side. Great sixes tho. I feel sorry for Chris Gayle.

[AtharHasan]

Nathan Astle hit those sixes beautifully. The timing was superb. He should'nt have retired so early.

[TARAWELSH]

Nathans pro-ing in our league @ moment. He is a legend!

[youngman090]

was at that game! :D

[draknkorin]

cant believe those lollies chris Gayle was givin him, wonder if he had a bet on lol

[Australian290]

cool man nice shots

[diggler2002]

That Billy Bowden is a freak. What is with that guy???? Anyway, aren't there meant to be neutral umpires?

[phillyfan06]

he does that when every team hits a six

[hedzzz]

He is neutral you dickwad, he does that for everyone.

[diggler2002]

Dickwad. Very mature comment.

re "He is neutral." The match is between New Zealand and West Indies. Billy Bowden is from New Zealand. Which part of neutral is that? I've found out that test matches have neutral umpires, not ODI's. And with regard to Billy Bowden, all I was saying was that his signals are freakish, irrespective of who is playing.

[Jamal92554]

@diggler2002 Billy isn't a freak. The way he does his six signal is like that because he has arthritis.

[SweetyAndSpyde]

@diggler2002 thats his thing to do that as umpiring, he is one of the worlds best umpires

[WhatElseExceptNature]

@SweetyAndSpyde Aleem Dar is better.

[ikomidico]

@diggler2002 he has arthritis in his hands

[boswellwhanau]

@diggler2002 Bowden has something wrong with the tendons in his fingers...hence the crooked fingies he gives when he signals six. Secondly, back in the day both umpires used to be from the host nation however the ICC has gone only a little way towards neutral umpires by having one host nation ump and one neutral ump. Not perfect BUT this is the ICC and like all major organisations, things change slowly!

[WhatElseExceptNature]

@diggler2002 LOL at your ignorance.

[Diehardsportfan]

It just so happens i have his 222 on video. Truly a great innings.

[DrLurch]

put the highlights on youtube man!!

[legoman88]

someone out there must have some footage of that 222... the greatest sustained display of attacking batting i have ever seen. and NZ still lost.

[motimeabg]

great hits but what ugly lookng sixes

[phillyfan06]

what do u mean ugly sixes?

[motimeabg]

they dont look stylish, in other words, a lara cover drive looks far more better then a trescothic cover drive

its jus style, and newzealenders have very little of it, they are very good batsmen though

[phillyfan06]

yeah well what else could you do to those balls? They were full tosses and on the leg side so there is really only 1 shot

[motimeabg]

yea i no, but by style i mean the WAY u play that shot, with style, it has to do with ur follow through, the way u swing the bat, if u take the same shot, say a cover drive, one of them would look more pleasing to the eye cuz of the way its played, even though both shots are hit with the exact same power and timing and get the same result

u should watch saeed anwar bat, that man was stylish, go watch some clips on youtube or google video

or from todays, id say watch lara

[phillyfan06]

i dont have any of the 222 game sorry

[phillyfan06]

check out my Ross Taylor vid too. I'm a huge fan of his

[hogan82]

awesome astle coverage. got any of his 222? would love to see some of that!
