I feel that every cricket fan should watch this.

Cricket? Here in Yorkshire? Don't talk soft.


Commentator one: Well the pistwiddle team very much the underdogs but anyone who saw them beat Yugoslavia in the semis by 400 wickets to 7 runs, all of it for 8 will know that they're not to be underestimated.

Commentator two: And West Germany famously a bunch of cheats.


Now it's your turn to be the team that stands in pairs with the bats rather than the ones in the sort of spread out crowd chucking it around. And remember, there's no such thing as a draw in cricket!


One for Geoffrey Trueman, I feel.

Why are there no comments? It's probably the greatest/only bit of cricketing satire ever.

You're not having much luck with this, eh?

Have you watched it? You Aussies probably won't appreciate it as much because it's got a lot of football stuff in as well as cricket. Helps to have seen the Full Monty too.

It was alright. Just an update of the old Goodies sketch though . . .

Yeah, it was pretty funny - as I say, I was in a room-full and only my girlfriend got some of it as I don't know many cricket fans.

We're off again ...........
