I love that Nasser's instinct is always "that's unlucky" or "that's a tough catch" even when the running is terrible or the fielder turns away from a catch

[ianhiscock]

The guy coming out to bat in the red coat…priceless!😂

[ManojPatankar]

Thinking youre gonna be run out while running back towards the bowling end from the outfield is just legendary on a world class level.

[blackhoundrise]

The run out from the boundary. for me, is the best arm I’ve ever seen.

I played in a school game around 2008, Bradfield VS Marlborough, we were bowled out for 9. They got 7 consecutive wickets. Incredible scenes.

Aussie here, I love Nass, he’s funny as hell and a great sport.

[willgoodall]

Well, we know Nas spends all his time watching cricket clips online

Back in 1991, unfortunately before camera phones, we played the 1st round of the Cup away at Halewood, Liverpool. As they were 3 divisions below us, we had them 30-7 on an all-weather wicket. The num9 came out, smashed his first ball down into the ground and it reared up above his head. The none striker, worried about it going onto his stumps cried "Kick it away!". The batter, as he searched for it somewhere in the sky, stumbled towards his stumps and in the process kicked all 3 of them halfway to Manchester! 😂 #hitwicket #30-8 #embarrassing

2:00 is insane, the way he holds his hands it makes me think he's right-handed too. Mental.

I remember seeing a West Indian named Sylvester Clark, many years ago, bowl a ball that was so far outside that the umpire went to signal wide and the batsman (a test batsman at that) was shouldering arms, but the ball came back so much off the pitch that it hit the stumps. Most amazing ball I've ever seen bowled.

[SilentHotdog]

These were gold. I love when they realise he hit his own car.

[onemoredayihavebeenafewtim]

this is really funny keep up the good work

[mwoxo]

Priceless when the guy finally throws the ball at his foot and it goes over the line. Had me in stitches 🤣🤣🤣

[Present]

Last one from Broad was hilarious too 😂

[VARMOT]

Needed everyone's reaction of that funny throwing ball at the feet and then kicking it to the boundary

[signalrepeater]

2:35.It's almost as if he has made up his mind that the ball has to cross the boundary. I will not settle for anything less.😂😂😂

[SociallyAwkwardBea]

I was playing the game in that first clip, it was a very soft wicket and there were 2 old oak trees inside the field you had to play around too 😂

[nguyendailam]

It is the umpire's smile when he signals for a six when Asif breaks his own car window!

[markzed]

That catch at 01:52 - I was fortunate enough to hold onto one like that a few seasons ago but I banged the back of my head on the ground and gave myself a mild neck strain.

I played village cricket, always had a good time post match, unlike football when it was straight home.
In the 50's the Lancashire league had many world class players in their ranks, West Indian test players like Sobers . One ex Windie Roy Gilchrist a fast bowler with a fast temper . In his last match against India he would deliberately overstep the crease by yards and deliver a beamer on one occasion hit the batsman on the head knocking his turban off.
Image a young kid coming out to face him. But they did without helmets for years.
One story a read was regarding the great batsmam Herbert Sutcliffe who was guesting for a league side . He came in and was bowled first ball by Gilchrist . On old women shouted out, we came here to see him bat not your bowling.
