Can We Still Face 90mph? | TGC In The Nets

Higgos and Pez hit the nets for the first time in half a decade to see if they can still hit the ball, if they're still scared of the ball and if their eyes still work. The results are unsurprising and humiliating. Before this video, Higgos got home at 4:30am and after the video, Pez has one of the worst thigh bruises imaginable. Leave a like for solidarity.

Nice batting guys! Now let me rinse you by listing over 100 technical flaws I noticed over the 9 minute video, in spite of playing wheelie-bin shit myself.

[@TheFilthbikes]

honestly the fact that you guys can even touch a 130kph ball with your bat probably makes you better than 90% of us plebs, and now your content is much less relatable

[@debameetsaha3906]

Why

[@nikschez5075]

95% actually

[@jamesaustin5948]

98

[@liberateyourslack]

Higgos' body language alone would get him through to 17 or so against New Zealand. Saying things like "I didn't really get hold of that one" as it rockets to the cover fence at Eden Park would easily be worth another 9 on vibes.

[@Holospejsn]

This

[@stevenjohn6785]

Never knew Higgos and pezza had legs tbh. Amazing to see

[@thecloneamigo]

could have kept going without knowing that ideally

[@gauravgummaraju]

Yeah. I've got three legs now

[@andrewdawson3979]

Pez The right handed Jack Leach

[@Amilakasun1]

It's just male pattern baldness mate.

[@c3vzn]

Pez was way too nice, lobbing up 120kph deliveries compared to the absolute heat he was getting.

[@smurf238]

Daddy stuff

[@jameshunt1822]

Knows a thing or two about parentinf

[@anweshchatterjee7595]

Well I mean Higgos did have a hangover

[@paulgill2042]

It seemed like it was an OH and S issue.

[@tjh320]

Seeing the second head pop out as soon as any sniff of competition started is a shining example of the toxic masculinity that drives grade cricket. Love the see it boys

[@prateekojha7717]

Impressed with Pez's batting skills.

[@prariedoggin]

Good little player

[@Aditya-rr6rx]

Pez complimenting himself and Higgos denigrating himself while batting is such good stuff

[@richardthomas1674]

Stood in front of a sign saying Helmets are to worn at all times after batting half the net without one - alpha.

[@BATMAN-rq5jz]

This is real content! TGC Boiss on field themselves, so it proves that whatever they talk they've got sense about it!

[@neoandleia]

@Debasish Dutta ?

[@pcaseyx]

Have to say I'm disappointed not to see Pez bowl a few legies!

[@f33fifofum]

Shorts and a 150km/h delivery - a winning combo

[@JKnight23]

The pipes on Higgo 💪🏻

[@divyanshushrimali]

Nathan Lyon and Glenn Maxwell had a good time at nets.

[@CoachCricXI]

This was great, the conclusion was one of the best things I've seen in a while 🤣🤣 "your teammates don't like it"

[@gauravsokhi4953]

Why are not all batters mic'd up like you two?!?!? this is brilliant!! Imagine Big Stoin on the Mic every ball!!

[@blooshooz4198]

m.kzbin.info/aero/PLijqNbMIJOu8-G7F9ClZ2hMhUsqYixzyz

[@gauravsokhi4953]

i did not know how much i needed to see this until now. More of the same please, or not, just do you boys! Its all great!

[@thiefoftomorrow]

to be fair at about 135/140 pez looked like he would be ok

[@markwillis2958]

Not sure I've ever seen anything more relatable than Pez throwing his hands at it "... that's caught at point"

[@alhOOO2O]

Jesus, Pez looked like Punter when he first walked into the net

[@faisal62803]

Get Higgos in for Finch for the WC. This was surprisingly good boys!

[@zigster1298]

I’ve ‘kept it tuned’ to The Grade Cricketer, forgoing food, water and sleep, and now I’ve been rewarded. Looking forward to this… might just grab a drink first.

[@krisgandhi]

“stable base…full face” to add to “splayed pegs…mum’s legs” 😂

[@Sarah_0112]

Pezz wins the batting award and Higgos wins the best “shit talking to yourself” award 🤣🤣 this was gooood entertainment. 😍

[@adam872]

Gold on both counts

[@shuvammishra2837]

We need some backyard cricket content from Higgos and Pezzy-lad like the WeCricket boys

[@m4lev0lentdem0nknightamv5]

Never realised it .... There's certain kind of beauty in your biceps Higgos ....

[@VSP1003]

Damn I didn't know these guys could actually play cricket this well jeewizz

[@mhrocks909]

Time to see if the words match up to the… Well shit

[@jatinman]

Awesome drives at 130 kmph, boys... facing 145 kmph, not bad at all

[@pantonfire]

Sam being concerned about Ian wearing a box shows you love. For what though?

[@adamstansfield9437]

This was so TGC. The extra depth in their voices when they bat v when they don’t. Never happy with any shot. Hyena laughs finished by why do I do this.

[@69420aman]

NGL, was expecting much worse.

[@toydose]

Perhaps it's the cognitive dissonance of finding out that you two don't exclusively exist behind desks throwing me out of whack, but holy fuck.... seeing Higgo's arms @4:46 made me almost lose control of my homosexual tendencies

[@mediumsizedcal]

not shit/relatable enough. unsubscribed/unfollowed/unliked + ratio + begrudging w for higgos massive levers.

[@scottdabbers8145]

From an extremely average club cricketer in the UK you were both a lot less shit than I was expecting 😂

[@conscioushuman2465]

🧐 Pez started with having a stance and bat lift like arron finch but soon switched into Adam Zampa batting mode when the pace went 140 plus. 😂😂😂

[@deven05]

pez in that helmet look like hybrid version of sanju samon and ben duckett😂

[@Garlicator]

Pair of coats had a stick, did they? Thoughts: Higgos looks like he used to bat a bit. Pezzy-lad looks like he used to bowl a bit. (Yeah/nah, Sam was lining them up nicely to be fair.) The b-b-b-b-boYYYYZahhh both look like they have a great deal of respect and admiration for their own decisions to jack in the game years ago because it ruins lives, ruins relationships, ruins friendships and ruins dignity. Good call to give it up chaps! As an aside, the stickers on those sticks have got a real understated timeless style to them. Was expecting something a bit more garish - trappings for the Tiktok generation's eyes and all that. But no. Those stickers would be right at home on some grainy 420p Robelinda gear, perhaps something on KZbin titled "BIGGEST DISGRACE EVER - Australian batsmen SHAMED at 'The G' in 1983!!!" But forget all that. Will you just LOOK at the pipes on Higgos? Man alive. Objectively objectifiable.

[@hughmacdonnell9096]

I'm very much here and all about the 2:08 leave - "fuck, that's good angles from me" 😂

[@saketchaudhari8111]

Higgos the sigma male, got no helmet on for half of the video, and then you show those 3 guidelines by Cricket Victoria, one of which said to wear helmets at all times

[@BT30191]

"Weights back isn't it"... I said for millionth time with no idea how to change it.. oh this is so real..

[@soumalyabhowmik4876]

Pez looks like post COVID Finchy

[@arjitmishra100]

protect the family jewels Bois

[@tezhda]

I'm actually impressed - not sure why but I'd imagined both of them to not be able to bat at all. Pleasantly surprised!

[@ranjibrudra9146]

Higgos lidless with shorts underneath the pads, I'm afraid. has awakened something inside of me

[@bhavinpithawala3967]

did not excepted such good stokes from you guys..

[@fleetingflights]

7:10 - 7:20 beautiful stuff from you Higgos

[@Nihaas]

you hear the grassroots experience in every comment the boys make, this was hilarious

[@cook1e2000robturnerxG]

you blokes are class and makes me realise how shit i am

[@TheRooster94]

Get a few today did ya?

[@PureTravel719]

Pez got selected well played pez 🔥

[@JoeS-rl7st]

If Higgins was kiwi he’d play for the national team. 3s stuff

[@Dear-Rat-Boy]

I wonder how many times Higgos looked at that "Helmets must be worn at ALL TIMES when batting" sign before deciding to ignore it

[@Magooch86]

Helmets have ruined modern batsman's ability to play the short ball... According to my dad

[@sdmichell9349]

Pez at 3:25 ‘nah I’m afraid…of this pace’ 😂😂 I’m crying watching this BOYS!

[@dhanvi768]

#AskTgc Higgos lad....how do you feel about pez being a better bat than you?

[@lordyeetus6317]

Jesus, didn't realise Higgos was such a fucking unit.

[@TipsFactory.]

Pez bats like the ball's about to kill him 🤣

[@Rob.Ko.]

more nets sessions dawgs

[@tradeliftsaman]

that was a legit alright like not the worst, good job, thou eyes have gone wooden fr sure lol

[@Bevan-z6b]

AUS vs WI, AUS vs ENG and Coming T20 World Cup massive Tournament, Can't wait! 🤩🥳🙌 Hope, We are winning again! Cameron green and Tim David

[@kaeso6227]

Tbf Sam looks a decent bat and at high speeds!

[@Ed-hv6xj]

Pezzy lad sat there just guffing 85mph bowling after 10 years off... Behave

[@1729krish]

Higgos and Pez are threatening Finch's role

[@benhandy420]

Nice work boys. Am I the only one who thinks the T20 Stars branding + Logo looks like a child did it? I'm sure the gear is good, but the design work, just isn't up to scratch. - Could be so much better in my humble opinion. Just saying

[@sidhdharthsundar8475]

Isn't Pez a Lefty? He sure looks like one, maybe could have played for Australia if he had been a southpaw...

[@jtintheuk297]

Higgo looks like one of those guys who's great in the nets but never scores a run on Sat. Pez less fluent but gritty, he'd grind away accumulating. Good boyz, good.

[@jackson3673]

This is very dribbly

[@c3vzn]

I don’t know why he called it T20 Stars. I’d rather buy kit that said Shane Watson on it.

[@aviboom1]

Clickbait Ian didn't face 90mph. Clickbait

[@angusmcdonald9880]

title is bold suggesting mostly 2's and 3's blokes could once face 90mph

[@DebmallyaBhattacharya]

If this video had 9 more like buttons, I'd have pressed them all.

[@Nsank29]

Stupid in maths and all other streams

[@rohitraut7519]

The best and the funniest channel for cricket on the internet today.Period.

[@punjabislofiproductions]

surprisingly nice technique boyz...especially pez...well done boyzzz

[@ArkoRay]

These guys have played grade cricket in Australia. The name of the channel speaks for itself.

[@alexturton-peet5385]

Pez I can get you a game batting 8 in wheelie bin park stuff out in flemington, I know you got to come over the bridge but we will pay $1 a run

[@sultan1017]

Pez's trigger movement looked a little like Michael Slater and his batting looked like a right handed Darren Lehman. And Ian's batting looks like that of Mohammad Kaif, all hands no weight.

[@AdarshYadav-ki8xn]

That Ian cover drive is right Up there u know he might not be Faf du plesis but he is a good kuldeep yadav level batter

[@jtintheuk297]

I will reserve judgement on Pez until I see his leggies. Higgos has lovely arms

[@__lancaster]

"What is the point of cricket anyway, no one likes it...' 🤣😂

[@vivekrambharadwaj5338]

I loved the follow throughs from Higgo, but he didn't connect many. But man!!! Pez took me by surprise with both his technique and connection!! Can't wait for the Watto episode. Great stuff BOOOIISSS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@karanbisht7236]

U both can easily bat for England in test cricket one of u can atheist replace crawly

[@metanick1837]

ICC Ranking will definitely change after this!!

[@Param.01]

🐐

[@alexosborn3247]

I've never clicked on something so fast 🤣

[@munrana]

I never knew Pez is balder than an inverted steel wok

[@namangarg5820]

Lan Higgins batting style= jason holder batting style

[@sportsnewsindiaSNI]

Nice to see two Aussie grade cricketers hitting juicy half volleys at medium pace at retirement age.

[@myspace1876]

These blocks can hold a bat! Never expected that.

[@c3vzn]

Sydney Grade Cricket is a pretty good standard. The fact these guys were playing 2s & 3s means they were only a couple of levels off New South Wales. Definitely not park/village cricket stuff.

[@rishabh6374]

Higgos' technique reminded me of Pujara

[@felixclement4316]

Ben Chilwell and Jack Leach have let themselves go

[@michaelmansini2307]

The side on camera angle is pointless can't see the ball at all camera needs to be behind the battery or straight on

[@dopymind]

Why do you look vulnerable

[@Chevroletmotors]

Do these balls really hurt, like aren't these softballs?

[@sunkidd9150]

A 'not so subtle' attempt to get selected for an IPL team? 😁

[@RakshitVashishta]

Pez proved to be the ALPHA here 😅

[@The203fox]

Should have made the video 10 minutes and get that extra ad revenue

[@DhruvMalikk]

You guys should do a collab with wecricket

[@amrahShsakaA]

Pez has a seriously tight technique

[@KingWillGK]

Arms looking big Higgo. Got the Stoinis build.

[@shreydon35]

Not wearing helmet in the nets gives me crows feet
