Resolving Past Memories: England, Test cricket's worst team

[@catanana]

87 cup was held in Subcontinent Ig. and there was famous saying that Miandad was never LBW in Pakistan. 😂

[@shivanshbisht9439]

yeah those umpires never gave out until it was a bold or caught 🤣

[@6ixandout]

Thanks for the small correction mate. The first one outside of England. I've never heard that saying before, but it's hilarious haha

[@shivanshbisht9439]

yeah a massive financial pull by salve and dhirubhai ambani helped😁

[@omer6472]

Sure, but Miandad still averaged 45.80 away from home. Kohli has a current test average of 48 and in a different era with bigger bats and safety gear as well as pitches mostly favoring the batsmen.

Hands down this is the best documentary on what I grew up with, why Nasser Hussain is a name we can never forget. Couldnt stop my tears at the end. Well done, mate.

[@hoggers7572]

Mmm 87 World Cup wasn't held in England

[@KaluSuddasCanDie]

I absolutely love your style of content. I hope Nasser sees this. 10/10

[@clarkclements7204]

That last day in that test shows why the test format is by far the best format. The ultimate drama spectacle!

[@krishnarawat879]

Man, the topic selection is 😙 We can say that Nasser and Morgan both got England back on track to winning

[@Muesliman467]

Good video. Nasser was a wonderful captain. He didn't get the luxury of captaining basically a whole team of all time great players like Ponting did. That England team had very few players who would have gotnintonthe South African team let alone the Australian team and overachieved enormously

[@हालसमाचार]

English sides keep hunting for South African players, Strauss, KP, Trott are the recent ones I remember and Nasser is actively involved in pursuing them, now he looks for West Indians too

[@pbfamous07]

man ur videos are so elite. perfect blend of serious knowledge but also the entertainment with videos and highlights. love u bro. jarrodkimber you and finalword. we as aussie cricket fans are sooo lucky. genuinely never thought i'd say "wish i was an english fan"!!! imagine the circuit after. what a test.

[@air9music]

great story telling! RIP Graham Thorpe 😢

[@scottessery100]

He was my hero when I started playing cricket 🏏

[@mrkipling2201]

Such a sad ending for a great of English cricket. RIP Graham Thorpe.

[@joebaci1214]

Bloody odd to watch this & know Thorpe has gone

[@mrkipling2201]

The introduction of central contracts in 2000 was also a big part in our renaissance. Players became England players who played a bit for their counties. Instead of the other way round.

[@RiskuBusiness]

How dare you make me feel a positive emotion about the English cricket team. Great vid mate.

[@norristhom]

What a great video.Thanks. And RIP Thorpey, you're missed.

[@granturismite]

Such great storytelling. Thanks for making these videos, they are definitely a highlight of my youtube feed!

[@tomweldhen]

Really enjoyed that, great video, and encapsulated what I felt growing up in the 90s watching an awful English cricket team. The grit that Nasser installed can’t be underestimated

[@murlimenon2291]

Man.... you scripted this so well.. the narration was top notch. Nasser Hussain was a gutsy player and today an excellent commentator. Thank you for this video.. I remember this test so vividly.

[@MuhammadFahimMansur-m9g]

4:54 got emotional when I saw the word "Robelinda"

[@maheshs4056]

​@@rickrandomiteshis channel was taken down. He faced a copyright strike which led to his channel being terminated.

[@Writer759]

Sheer goosebumps. Wish more Indians and Pakistani supporters can watch this documentary just to get an idea who these ppl were nassir Hussain, Atherton, Thorpe etc and what they contributed in making English cricket what it is now. Not an English supporter ,die hard Aussie fan but genuinely thankyou soo much for such a amazing piece of Art🙏

[@shounakchatterjee4461]

I am a neutral cricket fan from India, and I am loving this documentary 💌

[@joshhowie7657]

ok now we are going to have to get at AB video. this story telling about Allan Border and what he did with wat he had would leave me in tears. great stuff mate and good timing, now the footy is over finally the cricket can start.

[@thesmashingsizzler]

No matter what anyone says. Duncan Fletcher is that kind of coach who came to coach teams in teams which were in their transitional phase and he did very well. 2000s for England and 2011-2016 for India. Also, Thorpe's role was to be noticed here, he was a saviour for England in that lower middle order, similar to Laxman for India. What a player he was, rock solid, resilient and classy. RIP Thorpey. Naseer Hussain, although statistically not a great Captain, but Cricket is beyond stats too, sometimes the impact and legacy you create overpowers. He made England look tough and you rightly said how the combination of Naseer -Duncan made the players mentally and physically tough. 2005 Ashes was the result. Groomed Michael Vaughan as a player and a potential future captain as well.

[@cupidstunt22]

4:45 Steve Waugh playing a hook? OMG

[@TheIkaraCult]

Just want to say I love your work mate, each one is a gem

[@FeloPastry]

Honestly, it takes a lot to get me to subscribe these days, but these little microcosmic moments in cricket you highlight and extrapolate on are fantastic. Every video I've seen so far has been a great watch!

[@amanullahkariapper2503]

For me, this series happened in the shadow of our disgraceful "performance" in the 99 WC final. The best team we have ever sported, and they threw away that match. I couldn't support my own team until the redemptive years of Misbah and Younis, more than a decade later. But hats off to the courage and fight shown by Nasser Hussein, Atherton, Stewart, Thorpe and Trescothik in difficult circumstances. They laid the foundations of the resurgence of English cricket after the chronic failures of the 90s.

[@aunimjoarder]

What a video! The quality of the storytelling, the video footage, the timing. Just amazing stuff mate!

[@prakashmahtani6345]

These days were my last few weeks of high school. I remember the series very well. Great video keep up the good work.

What a brilliant video essay/documentary 👏

[@mrkipling2201]

I remember that 1987 tour of Pakistan. Getting the briefest of highlights on the sports segment of the news programme here in England.

[@sastasinger2877]

What a documentary man 🎉 absolutely loved every second of it ❤

[@SunilPokhrel-wo9ew]

India never won a test series against this weak English Side,It means how weaker the Indian test side waa

[@mrkipling2201]

The first test of the tour of South Africa in 1999/00 was ridiculous. It shouldn’t have started when it did. It was almost dark, drizzle was in the air, and the wicket was almost impossible to play on. Donald and Pollock were both World Class bowlers anyway, but with conditions like that, they were unplayable. England were 4 for 2 I think after a few overs.

[@sharatparimi6193]

Loved this video! Subscribed and gonna binge on all your cricket content.

Wow! This is some elite cricket content. Loved your storytelling and admire your research as always. Keep up the great work. Look forward to more of your content! Good luck

[@flippered9999]

Fantastic upload. Thank you!

[@wx-01]

Loved every second of this documentary!!!

[@Rhubba]

3 day first class matches when the rest of the world were moving to 4 day matches, no central contracts, out of touch selectors whose ideas were rooted in the fifties and sixties, chop and change selections, players only 1 poor score away from being dropped, too many mediocre players being selected whilst better ones were dropped because they were seen to be disruptive characters, poor coaching, even worse man management, a hostile press and English test pitches designed to suit visiting teams. That was England in the 1990s. Even when they had success it was never built upon and lessons weren't learned until Hussain became captain, Duncan Fletcher became head coach and David Graveney and Geoff Miller revamped the selection system.

[@saintpauli7566]

I've been at The Gabba during one of our legendary thunderstorms and it's incredible how much brighter the TV cameras make the light look.

[@ndv0123456789]

In all fairness, the game probably should've been called for bad light, but solid effort. Another great video, love it

[@DayTheBanksCollapse]

100% shouldn't have happened, but that's what happens when you (Moin Khan) push your luck too far with an umpire willing to put their foot down. Glad that Bucknor did too, because you can be sure we wouldn't still be talking about it 20 years later if it'd been a draw!

[@rchopra535]

[@sachintendulkar3556]

i hope you produce more stories videos like this. 87 was a strange period cause after pakistan defeated the west indines they thought they could win the world cup and when they eventually lost to England in the Semis cause of Mike gatting Imran had retired feeling his time was over. No one expected that Aussie team to also win. I say this with respect that even Allan Border was shocked that they went that far but after they and the turning point was the Gatting Sweep which Australia was on the ropes and you can tell Gatting wasn't blamed but he always had a grudge against Pakistan and So did Beefy. Imran returned from retirement but didn't play in the 1990 series against new zealand or Australia. and they drew the 1989 series against west Indies. man those were the days So much amazing cricket and stories, Sadly these stories are hardly told these days
