Standing ovation at Lord's for Aaron Finch and some bloke as they go out to bat:

Don't know if this has been posted on this thread at any point, but it's certainly worth a moment of thought. I was looking through the British Pathe page on Youtube hoping some footage of Sydney Barnes had surfaced as they opened their archives, but with no luck. However I did find this after some Googling: reverse sweeper: S.F. BARNES ON FILM

It's footage claimed to be of Barnes bowling. Naturally I'm skeptical as I've always been under the impression that he was never filmed bowling, but the video is some food for thought.

Adam Gilchrist, eat yer heart out, ****.

This Carl Hooper cover drive is particularly nice: Carl Hooper plays the cover drive, no other in world cricket plays it better - YouTube

He plays it in that video with the legs in the near perfect stride which I feel is lacking in a lot of modern attempts at the shot. Really nicely played.

A powerful and emotive tribute to a fantastic bowler.

Sorry but this one was nagging me. It's such a bizarre video and I'm not even sure if I know why. Hayden looks weirdly young, as does Gilchrist. Gilchrist laughing hysterically along with somehow looking taller than usual. The way the dismissal goes after just kicking the ball away for the whole over. Maybe it's just me but it really is bizarre. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMsL0s6_aRs

Sorry to revive an old thread with a relatively off topic question, but can anyone name the song that's played here as Buttler hit's his first boundary (0:05 in roughly) it's been plaguing me for absolutely AGES now! Thanks.

That coverage is fantastic. The size of Truman's slip cordon as well: 5 regular slips and a leg slip.

Just found that the guy who uploaded it also uploaded day 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW3KjVIaZN4

I wish they would upload the entire test.

Ignore the 5 step ambled run up, bowling in a cap, and the fact that it isnt quick - for a 38 yr old opening batsman he has a proper, forceful action, doesnt just roll his arm over and gets good shape.

Classic footage from the mid 80s. For English fans, is that CMJ picking up the ball at 7:47?
