[@danjadzz]

Some serious commitment here!!!

[@emperorviii7277]

@@danjadzz Not as much commitment as someone who played 847 balls and updated the score everytime.

[@aayan_tanvir]

I'm more impressed that he had enough balls to afford this challenge. Literally.

[@jacobhibbert4832]

Would have used the same ones no? Not going to leave 800 odd balls in the net behind you 😂

[@sentimentalbloke185]

The Australian keeper Ben Barnett, playing in his only test series, missed stumping Hutton when he was on 40. Barnett served in WW2 when he was captured during the fall of Singapore and spent several years on the notorious Burma railway.

[@lukevanbloxam1180]

Len Hutton scored the highest ever Test score at the time of 364 during this innings. A record that stood for 20 years. I have a Len Hutton Autograph (the name of the bat is Autograph, it's not signed) made by Slazenger that was made in 1950. Put side to side by today's bats it looks like a chopstick, I would say literally half the thickness of the Kookaburra Beast that I play with. when put side by side.

[@lesparke]

@3:57 "it was pre-Bodyline" Bodyline was 1932-33 so before this innings.

[@philhogan5623]

Also Len Hutton never faced bodyline because Australia didn't do bodyline.

[@Br3kkie]

Never thought there'd be a day where I willingly watched somebody face 800+ deliveries in a single video but hey here we are

[@danjadzz]

you have some serious talent and paitence

[@lakbirsinghjohal3333]

In that same game where Len Hutton played 847 balls, two other players played 400+ bowls - Maurice Leyland (438) and Joe Hardstaff (400)

[@user-tr1hx7jx4r]

RIP those bowlers

[@toerag572]

It seemed like the length of the challenge changed the way you played. You left a lot outside off stump, far more than you usually seem to. You also seemed a lot more comfortable than previous batting exploits. All that training must be helping! I'm sad you didn't raise the bat at 100, though. EDIT: "Just an absolute lapse in concentration!" Did you get a 40 min break for lunch, a 20 min break for tea, and a teammate to talk to? Did the bowlers get tired? No, so don't be so hard on yourself, goddammit!

[@danjadzz]

haha thanks matey!! was great fun looking back, dont think i'll do it again in a hurry. am certainly feeling more confident/comfortable with that bat at the moment

[@charlestakel2522]

Querying whether this counts as Dan self harming or not. Can see the gradual descent into madness. You're some man Dan!

[@danjadzz]

Hahahaha not self harming, but that was incredibly tough

[@CutShotCricket]

Really enjoyed this video and concept! Keep it up Dan!

[@danjadzz]

Thanks legend!!

[@danielroche7514]

Literally out over 10 times 😂😂😂😂

Feel free to try it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@SportsFocusNow]

@@danjadzz I think his point is you could have tracked likely dismissals - would have been an interesting challenge to see if you could keep it below 10 wickets

More than 20 with all those chips in the air.

And the first man to congratulate Len Hutton was Don Bradman. And Bradman twisted his ankle when bowling and had to leave the ground for the only time in his career.

[@alexanderholiday7969]

Len Hutton! Really enjoyed this Dan, was great to have some longer form content and hear more of your voice and sense of humour!

[@danjadzz]

That’s really kind! Thanks so much for reaching the end of the video

[@itsTronBonne]

Len Hutton. Absolute monster effort! I'm currently in bed with a torn calf. Season might be over for me and I'm gutted. Happy to bowl 847 balls in a session if it means I'm bowling again :P

[@LewisYates]

Proper skill to be a good test batsmen, to stay focused every ball against top class batters as well as being under pressure….. that’s why I love watching tests over t20

[@danjadzz]

test is best

[@zJezzx]

I faced about 140 odd deliveries for about 40 odd a year or 2 back. couple games later we versed the top team and i made 20 runs not out off 120 deliveries.. won the game though. It does help we play 2 days of 80 overs, i usually open. Definitely have to be concentrated for that long though.

[@danjadzz]

140 is loads for a club cricketer, proper knock that! And congrats on the win

[@theena]

Proper masochism to subject yourself to this, and us to watch this all the way through. That was fun to watch. I will say that you are being super generous not giving yourself out a few times. The legspin accounted for atleast 4 wickets before you reached a hundred in my eyes.

[@punt3rplays]

2:05 try putting more emphasis on doing it on the front foot rather than coming with both cuz if u miss it and it’s not bowled you’ll get stumped. Just some small advice!

[@sharkswr84]

Hell of an effort Dan mate. Both from a mental and physical stand point. Great video and well survived hehe.

[@danjadzz]

Well survived… just 😂

[@hedd-wynjones4193]

Len Hutton. Great work Dan, not easy doing that. Especially with a game in the evening too!

[@danjadzz]

was a great challenge, although those 300 to 700 deliveries were tough!

[@khanyyy123]

Glen Hutton

[@danjadzz]

what a crazy record!

[@stevemercer5769]

As a club cricketer I’d estimate the largest number of balls I faced in one innings would not have exceeded 150 …. And that was absolutely mentally and physically exhausting. Just the concentration alone was grueling! Entertaining vid, you have a new subscriber.

[@danjadzz]

Thanks Steve, really kind comment! Welcome to the channel ❤️ can confirm the batting was a breeze compared to the editing

[@saluterm]

4:03 an innings in 1938 was not pre body line

[@Markc89]

Len Hutton! Great video Dan. Forever love the content ❤🏏

[@danjadzz]

Mark you’re a hero!! Thank you

[@brokenshield9031]

You got out on the 9th ball. You clipped it and if you watch carefully the wickets moved. Well done though, you managed to survive 8 balls. :)

[@Syed._.Ali_1214]

Is it just me who thinks that the place is looking a bit spooky🤔

[@danjadzz]

haha nahhhhh surely not

[@malthuswasright]

Len Hutton. One thing that might have helped with the fatigue (a tiny bit) would have been to use a bat of the weight Hutton would have used. His would have been significantly lighter in 1938.

[@teymura3461]

Unbelievable patience. Liked and subscribed.

[@danjadzz]

welcome to the team :)

[@lukeStuckey]

[@DanoshTech]

That thumbnail is so well made good stuff I am going to watch the vid soon I already know it’s going to be a banger Edit: I watched the whole thing as expected it was a banger only Dan can make a 847 ball innings video seem interesting and ''Len Hutton" I think that's the spelling

[@tpc1416]

1930s, they definitely used their pad a lot more, both outside leg and outside off! Leg spinners’ pitch would be outside leg stump on practically every ball. Otherwise a good video.

[@danjadzz]

That’s really interesting, thank you! And thank you for watching

[@MitchthePunk2113]

That some doing. Even by your own admission if you weren't concentrating on some shots. The graft here was both mentally and physically exhausting by the looks of it. Well played!
