Nasser just nails it every time
Yep. Strong character.
His batting was incoherent at most times but his oration is always synchronous.
@@prabhanjanbadami8434 Indeed, but he was a fighter and I recall he never minced his words back when he was captain.
I think Nasser did well to keep it together there. Wonderful tribute just like he gave for Shane Warne. Articulate & heartfelt.
was thinking the same... beautiful eulogy
Yes but to be honest, we all sort of had the time from May 2022 to realise that he mightn't be around long. Heaven knows what can befall a healthy man so suddenly and keep him that way for 2+ years before passing. Awfully sad
Yea I thought he was gonna struggle as he loved Thorpe-e
Probably because of guilt because he's saying these things now, but where was he for the past five years when Graham was struggling? He was acting like a teenager on Sky saying even a chinese cut was amazing due to the strength of a guy who weighs 20kgs. Pathetic from Nasser, too little and seriously too late.
@@paulclarke212 I hear you. But no one knows what Nasser did or didn’t do.
Nasser shows some steel there. He's an emotional man, but he held it together through an eloquent and rousing tribute. He really is en outstanding broadcaster, as he was an outstanding captain and player.
Absolutely....he was a leader...this tribute of him for Thorpy just proved that...
I tell you what - I wasn't holding it together...
@@tonberrykinged🙏🏻
A legend remembering a legend ....total class from Nas
Great job Nass...this speech of him on Thorpey just shows why Sachin Tendulkar told us 22 years ago that Naseer Hussain was the most intelligent skipper he has witnessed on the field...a captain in Nass giving tribute to his squad's best as well as most elegant batsman...Thorpe's hundreds in karachi in front of Saqlain and Mushtaq and in SL in front of Murali was very important factor in why England went onto clinch both test series in their backyard in the year 2000 under Naseer Hussain's captaincy...
But I have to say for me the best test hundred of Thorpey was the hundred he made at Old WACA fast pitch in front of McGrath, Warne and Mcdormett...in 1995...I haven't seen many classical hundreds in front of Warnie and McGrath and that too in old WACA...
In my childhood I used to copy his (Thorpey's) stance while playing in my backyard...I used to love his headbands...but what I most like about him is his "Tenacity"....
Graham Thorpe...u r the most elegant and effective middle order left handed batsman of England in 90's...u gone too soon man...Rest in piece Graham Thorpe...
❤️R.I.P from Australia 🇦🇺 . Thanks for the great and lasting memories 👍
I’m sure like many Englishman of my era I’d say he was both our best player and probably my favourite player
Top bloke Thorpy. RIP
I don't watch cricket but my father who died in 2014 was a huge fan and I'm certain this man brought my father so much joy over the years - thank you ❤
The tribute I was waiting to hear. Thank you Nas.
I hope Sky will do a feature length tribute to Thorpe. He's earned it.
He was the best English left handed test batsman in 90's...he completely earned all the respect he's getting....
@@sudhanshumitra1989Hard to separate him and Tres
Yes, absolutely. I'm sure they will.
@@yamyite I agree..Trescothick was more attacking specially to spinners...and he was a legend in ODI'S...one of my favourite English batsman...but Thorpe was a bit different...he was more elegant...and in test matches specially whenever the team needed him to score he ross to the occasion...
@@yamyite that's particularly why I mentioned 90's....
both of them in tears...incredible punditry from them both to keep it together and to let us know what he meant to them. RIP Thorpey x
Nasser Hussain you are too kind and brilliantly articulate. Thank you for wearing your emotions on your sleeve for this great champion!
Absolutely brilliant tribute from Nasser. RIP Graham. 🙏🏾💐💐💐
Somewhere Graham Thorpe must be saying - Thank you Nas.
Nasser at his best .. love listening to him
There is no one and I say no one is better than Nasser Hussain. He explains things better than anyone and he's by far the best commentator of this era ❤😊👏🙌
Graham Thorpe was a gem 💎 ✨️ of a player 💔
Touching tribute. What a player. What a bloke RIP
Wonderful words Nasser, straight from the heart.
Great tribute from Nasser
Thorpey is a legend RIP
Nasser is a legend from a fellow Essex Boy
Nasser is the best sports commentator in the UK
Rest in peace Graham. True Surrey and England Legend. With heartfelt sympathy from Yorkshire 🏏💔
Beautiful testimony. Nasser was a good player, driven captain and a loyal friend , from this interview.
Don't normally read the Daily Fail, but Nasser's tribute there today is worth a read. And this tribute is equally amazing.
Daily fail😂😂 nice one mate.. so funny
They are arubbish newspaper
@@Giri-bp6zjthat’s been a staple of lefties for about 35 years.
Lost a legend way too early! RIP Thorpey!!! Great words Nass. I still remember how he described the great Shane Warne when he died.
Thorpey was my hero, a Surrey and England legend RIP mate, Nas - you're a legend mate, I could listen to you all day long.
Well very said. They were best mates.
There's been some really fantastic tributes to the great man over the last few days... And fully deserved 🙏
Accurate Nass. RIP Thorpey!
I got into cricket in 93. If it wasnt for Graham Thorpe I probably would turned the TV off.
A wonderful tribute to Thorpe . May his character on and off the field inspire people for many generations to come .
Well done Nas, a brilliant tribute
Great tribute from Nas . Thorpey sounded like a real character off the field. RIP soldier 😢
for me the best era of England was with Nasser as captain and Thorpe as the best batter despite not having the luxury we have been spoiled with since but them boys brought us right up the standard we needed as a test nation leading up to 2005. They won some great matches and series.
Wonderful tribute to Graham Thorpe still I remember a mammoth partnership between Nas and Thorpe at Edgbaston in 1997 an opening match of Ashes both are played brilliantly well and bring England to massive win against Australia RIP Graham Paul Thorpe you will be remembered forever
Beautiful tribute. Lads, don’t ever feel ashamed or scared to tell someone how you feel. I’m right there with you, someone else is right there with you, you’re not alone.
Amazing tribute
💔 Graham Thorpe and Randall MacNeil in the same week 🥺
Lads speak to someone, be it Samaritans if you’ve got no one to talk to, you’re wrong if you feel the world would be better off without you. Rip Mr G Thorpe 🫡
Beautiful words gentlemen
Love from Bangladesh for Nasser Hossain
Spoken from the heart by Nasser… ❤
Lovely words Nas.
Graham Thorpe
Headband
Kookaburra bubble bat
90's ❤
Nice
3/4 arm length shirt. ❤
@@gavbr210 😂 All the rage about 1999, I've got an old Kookaburra version somewhere in all my kit....
@@andrew7440 had the kookaburra about then and the 3/4 shirt... no headband though 🙄😂
@@gavbr210 I had a Duncan Fearnley ¾ length as well, lent it to a team mate also my cousin, who never gave it back! He still wears it now when he actually plays 🤬 😄
I may get a Fila headband, to go with my Adidas one I wear when I bowl.👍🏻
THORPEY LEGEND R.I.P. GREAT BATSMEN .CRICKETER. LOVEY WORDS FROM NASSER ..
Great tribute
Thanks Nasser For Giving A Loving Him As A Mate , Captain.
All Memories Now.
A Great Batsman.
Pray For The Departed.
God Pls Help His Family.
Heart touching Thorpe Nasser what a men emotional speech
What a powerful, moving tribute. Watching Nasser's face and hearing the emotional crackle in his voice, he constructs a narrative innings as if he was in the middle together with his best friend. Magnificent. Human. Completely authentic. Bravo.
The love is so clear in every word.
Beautiful words :)
Great tribute Nasser. Thanks
Brilliant, heart-felt tribute from a man who always wore his heart on his sleeve. That steely look that Thorpe had when he was in a battle was described superbly by Nass. Gone far too soon. Love to his family.
it was nice...great player
I spent so much time with these England cricketers in the 90s. I lived every ball with them watching it on TV. I cant tell you how much i loved each one of them. Im devastated
Lovely, touching words from Nasser.
Wonderful batsman.... Graham Thorpe.
RIP 🙏
Nice words Nas, all class
Well in Nas RIP thorpy❤️
Great tribute .Rest in Power
Bless you Nasser.
RIP Thorpe. I'm from SL and still remember how good he handled in form Murali in Sri Lankan conditions and lead Eng to a test series victory against a strong SL team. So sad to hear his demise.
My favourite English batsmen.
Howzit Skysports. I don't think only England will miss Graham Thorpe but the entire cricket world will miss him. I'm a huge cricket fan from South Africa. MHDSRIP (May his soul and all the faithful departed rest in peace) 🙏
Well said Nasser!.
Wonderful words. RIP to a great man.
Great tribute to Thorpe. Grew up watching him and others and he just had such a way about him, such a loss to the cricketing world. Rip mate
God bless you Graham Thorpe 😢😢
Great tribute - so sorry for your loss Nasser
....He suffered from severe clinical depression which is an illness. It is a chemical imbalance in the brain. Researchers have done MRI scans and a depressed brain the image looks different from a normal brain scan. You cannot fight this thing.
You need to be under the care of a Doctor and it is life threatening. Being severely depressed can lead to serious symptoms including psychosis and suicidal thinking. If he had a psychotic episode he probably did not even know what was going on when he killed himself. It has nothing to do with will power or how strong your character is. The actor Robin Williams also had depression and killed himself. Unsurprisingly, the more severe the depression symptoms the more likely the person is at risk for suicide. When the disorder is at its most severe, people with depression may even experience psychosis-seeing or hearing things that aren’t there. In Graham Thorpe's case he tried many different medications and the Doctors could not find anything that woud work on him. I suggest people read up on clinical depression. It is not feeling down or depressed.
It is in your brain. There is a chemical imbalance that effects your thinking and actions. It does not matter how strong a person you are. You cannot fight this. You need the right drug to correct your brain's chemistry. I live in Canada and do not even know who Graham Thorpe was or the game of cricket. But I do know what severe clinical depression is.
And this man never had a chance without the right medicine. ...
Go well Graham, hope you find your peace wherever you are now, you were a gritty customer and a legend, hats off to all that you have done for England and the game! Peace….
I remember him batting against West Indies great fast bowlers and not a smile in his face and looking like u have to shoot him to get him out very tough man like Alex Stewart
Two of the most consistent English batsmen of 90's...
❤ A lovely cricket player! Miss you Graham Thrope 🙏
Mate...❤...we all have to go.
Sad that he took his life 😢
Rest in Peace Great Legendary & Respected Graham Thorpe..... You were such a Great Cricketer who inspired Generations.....
Will miss him - he was a talented English batsman when Aussies were strong!
RIP Thorpe.
I only ever 'knew' Graham Thorpe as the very dependable cricketer he was, on a TV screen. Every tribute leads me to believe I would have liked him even more as a friend, especially yours Nas.
Thorpe is an all time England great .. he should have been picked for the 2005 ashes and carried on being picked after that
He had back troubles and was replaced by a guy called Kevin Pietersen. Not too shabby! Michael Vaughan made that decision and won the ashes in 2005 and then his knee went and vaughany was never the same player again. I know the feeling as I had the same acl injury.
@@fts4608 I think Ian Bell was picked instead of Thorpey....KP was already a superstar in ODI'S those days...even Michael Vaughan had picked Thorpey then also KP would have made to playing 11 in July 2005 at Lords....
Legend ❤
Great player Thorpe great words fm Naseer Hussain
That was straight from the heart from nas.
Love you him best stylist batsman in 90s left hand love you billions ❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢
Absolutely devastated
Thorpedo...His chin got more and more determined as he battled against real quicks with chips seriously down. Rest in peace...
More I hear of Thorpe’s passing away and what he was suffering from-😢. RIP Thorpe. You will be sorely missed by all fans from all countries.
Nas was real close to Thorpe. So sorry mate!
Well said ❤
My hero growing up in Surrey RIP Thorpey ❤
Love Nasser!
Rest In Peace Thorpey
My memory of graham thorpe was reliable consistancy. He would always get you runs. A class batsman
He was a phenomenal cricketer. Gone too soon. Its heart breaking to know what his wife said about his ailment to the newspaper.
Very emotional
Great batsman thorpey was the times he held England 🏴 together especially when we lost a couple of wickets early on !! Sympathy to his family and old teammates rest in peace Graham 🙏🙏🏴
This is heartbreaking
Sad to hear he was in such mental anguish , he tried to take his own life in 2022, but succeeded in 2024 😢😢😢 RIP Graham
❤ RIP.
Well said Nasser…..
Great conservation
Very sad 😢
Well said Nasser
Feel for Nasser losing Warnie and now Thorpey 😞❤
So sad I met him during the pakistan tour in 2000 and he signed my bat for me. Was so friendly and kind RIP champ. Does anyone know how he passed?
That double century in NZ was way ahead of its time…then Astle bettered it but a great test match
Nas was trying hard not to cry 😢
The game might have moved on but you could always find a place in a test team for him even today. Always dug in when needed
