i really love to see him going down the wicket and fucking fast bowlers out of the stadium

ass-tle

I remeber this match. Nathan Astle was my favorite player when i was a kid.
-
I was watching this match.. Even though the target was huge, Astle and Cairns would have made it...
-
6.19 has to be one of the biggest hits ever.
-
Watched every ball of that innings live and I have never seen anyone taking out the fast bowlers to the cleaners ball after ball like that. He could of won that match single handedly that day and created history. After so many years, this still remains the greatest test innings I have ever seen.
-
Looks like the commentators are from England, that's why they are not happy to comment while Astle was hitting them so brilliantly.
I am sure even a drunk would be excited by this innings but not these commentators :)

man still kicking myself, was going to go and watch this live but thought pointless as we were getting hammered.
-
That shot at 6:19 is one motherfucker of a hit. clears the stadium by miles!
-
i remember being at cricket and hearing we were getting pounded by the poms....but then hearing Astle was going batsh!t and destroying the bowlers. Just pure power, timing and seeing it like a beachball!
what a shame - probably the best batting ever seen in new zealand and we have to listen to the mournful bob willis and ian botham, the most boring commentator alive. makes you wish for bill lawry or tony greig
