It hurts to type this out as I've mangled my fingers with hammers in an attempt to learn the carrom ball but thanks for answering my question, lads
oh so you are the one with that "hammers theory of spin bowling" ,, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
did you take a look at the video in sky sports where ashwin is explaining spin bowling ,,, that is one of the most confusing interviews that i have seen in my life ,,
Nick Elliott I hope you are doing good .Btw I am in love with your theories........lol😂
@Nick Elliott That is one of the wildest most craziest theory I've heard!😂😂😂 Cracked me up like crazy!! I'd suggest start using the hammers and shit now if you want to avert the Asian century 😂
Cheers !❤️😂
You're legend bruh!
I am already in love with Nick. I don't know who he is, but I need a rant from him every week. Stop what you're doing and feed the machine, Nick!
I've got a lot to say about Axar Patel bowling in sunglasses versus Jack Leach bowling in normal glasses but we'll save that for another day...
Haha that was Savage af Mr. Elliot. Just an idea, bring your blokes here in India and get them into the domestic Indian circuit. Get them playing Ranji trophy and shit. The Touton county ground isn’t helping. 😅
Anddd fuckk yes , looking forward to the Rant about Axar and Leach. 😂
@@nickelliott3776 gotta say you've set yourself quite a high standard here mate. That hammer and tongs will take some beating.
Hoping for a rant about Rishabh Pant and his obsession with bald overseas spinners, Johnny Bairstow Weasely and his sweeps, Ollie Pope and his extreme pain and misery when he comes to bat, Zack Crawley with his alien arms, Dom Sibley and his alien arms.
@@nickelliott3776 I am ready with the hammer and tong mate. Bring me some wrists!
Imagine if it’s not Nick but Ollie Pope venting out his agony in disguise.
😂
I just want a compilation of different ways they shout "BOIIIZZZZZZ" 😂😂😂😂
YESSS PLEASE XD
Nick.. if we could get your rant viral, you would be an instant celebrity in India. Genuinely brilliant and a stand up comedian's dream content in cricket.. 🤣🤣
Bruuh the guy with the question should either be a journalist or a stand-up comedian. He'd be wasting his life otherwise
Yeh toh bada heavy driver nikla
@@miloblackmetalhate bete ne mauj krdi 🤣
You should interview Ashwin before he interviews you in his channel.
Nick Elliott thoroughly deserves to be given a vip seat in the stadium watching Ashwin & Axar ball tomorrow and maybe a lit bit of Kuldeep for good measure just on the basis of this beautiful rant.
OMG! That theory with hammers and chisels is beyond this universe. The person who came up with that must be surely an alien.
this genuinely cracked me up 😂😂
''descendent of M S Dhoni'' that guy is awesome
Boys - The answer is Yoga, you gotta do it for 300 years. So that when it's your century again, you are finally flexible and have those subcontinent wrists, you can spin the ball and play glorious flicks off the pads !
You're talking like every Indian is thought of it since childhood. It's recently after Western application that it became famous. Even Indians avoided doing it but due to post world war 2 lifestyles it's quite useful
@audio guru chutiya
@Anurag Chakraborty not doing yoga is not going to get over yoga either
.. you are mixing inmixible things
@@Aazammm Yoga was well known in learned households even before the west took it up. Stop hating and being nasty.
@Anurag Chakraborty kid if you were so much worried for our gdp you wouldnt be wasting time in comments
Take the DNA of Ashwin, Murali, Bhumra mix them and make baby wala you have bowler of the century.
I'm an Indian but I believe the Asian century will begin once they win the WTC final. Swinging conditions are gonna be so difficult for Indian team in England, especially facing New Zealand seamers over there
NGL this question just cracked me up! 😂😂😂 And not to forget some sort of genuine advice Pez gave..the west has made some convention that needs to be rewritten. Always remember that everyone is unique in their own way.
chisels and hammers
legit hilarious!!
Best cricket podcast channel on UA-cam,period.
Humour is off the charts.
Since, there is a lot talk on pitches, let me join in
Rahane (IND) was defending the pitch against SA around 4 years ago
Plot twist was its home for SA and they rise the questions against their own during last day even after having 8 wkts in hand
@AVINASH S that was the pitch we can actually call dangerous,
How Elgar was ripped with the uneven bounce of the ball
Its funny but Swann and Monty did it. Lyon did to an extent in 2017.
@@alpha068 India folded up for 100s in both the innings of that match. Smith played an amazing innings in a treacherous pitch. These pitches were nothing compared to them
@@karthikp167 Smith's dharamshala 100 was much better. In Pune he got dropped like 5 times. Was very very lucky.
Please have the guy who wrote this question in on the show for a call in your next episode lads! Please upvote if you want this to happen!!
Overseas player should start playing in ranji trophy 😂 only then they'll learn to play spin.
*To win series in India is next to impossible now*
They should be allowed to play in the Ranji Trophy because overseas players can play in the English County Championship.
@@charlierennie9192 Well they can't allow overseas players to play Ranji as it's specifically designed to develop indian domestic cricket.
I would want BCCI to come up with the test version of IPL, that will be epic !
@@musicharmony4350 That would definitely make a lot of sense. Would be difficult to fit it into the calendar though. The county championship aims to develop English Cricket as well but we still allow for overseas players so I don’t see why the Ranji Trophy couldn’t.
@@charlierennie9192 Ranji is a domestic league and Indian players are not allowed to play in other leagues outside India
2 years on , one of the best "questions " asked here . Cheers Nick
Fuck 2021 was 2 years ago !!
Top question, the world needs more of this guy
Hahaha. Genius.
UA-cam threw this up and on this rare occasion I’m so glad it did. Great writing haha. Well done.
Hey guys ..Love to see you guys to talk on pitches not only in India but all over the world, If there is spin from the first ball in a test match and wickets fall in a heap it is considered poor pitch but if a team wins toss choose batting and score 500 + runs in the first innings then no one bats an eye 👀.... Isn't that also considered a poor pitch? Both these scenarios show uneven contest between bat and ball ? So what is an ideal pitch for a test match.... #AskTGC
@Richard Horrocks Agreed
What was that question? I can't stop laughing 😂😂😂😂😂. Listening to it on loop.. Jesus Christ.
That bloke's suggestion was absolutely hilarious, man seems to be very frustrated yet has a funny look towards Indian spinners dominating the western folks
As always wonderful podcast, would love to see you folks joining with the golden ducks podcast, during the upcoming ashes
I feel the same about Australia’s batting.. e.g. Steve Smith/Marnus
Wow these are lines of my life about cricket someone saying first three min.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Hahaha Nick is better than most news outlets. Nick, please ask more questions everyday, I'm a fan already
That monologue was the best thing that i have heard😂😂😂😂😂
Ohh god The Hammer Method is Awesome
Well this is refreshing! Growing up in the early 90s, I would think what genetic manipulation Indian players needed to bat like the Aussies and bowl like the West Indians hahahaha
well bolt their wrists with some restriction and dont let them duck in the face of a bouncer ,,
well bowling like west indies they would need height ,, so i guess hanging them upside down for atleast a decade and let gravity do the work ,,
the hammer part was so hilarious I watched it again and again and it never gets old 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just do what India is doing for swing. We encouraged some Ranji trophy groundsmen to leave a bunch of grass or import bouncy soil. Obviously, our test pitches are still dust bowls because we still want home advantage. I honestly remember watching the 19-20 Ranji semifinal and the pitch was green af. Ishan Porel, a 21 year old pacer, absolutely wreaked havoc on Karnataka.
So England and Australia need turning wickets in some domestic grounds. Give them the conditions and the bowlers will automatically develop the skills that will give them the advantage.
The laughter hurt bad. Listening to this bit again might just take me over the edge so I could sacrifice my mangled freakish self to the first Anglo Saxon team to be a willing bulwark against the marauding Asian century.
Indians are super talented. Australians will remember this defeat like dagger in heart as B Indian team beat the hell out of them.
Nick is a legend 🤣🤣
so basically he is talking about kachra from the movie lagaan ,,,
Quick trivia.....apparently carrom ball was invented by an Australian during 1940s. Iverson according to Wikipedia. So, technically it is the "west" who invented and forgot about the art of spin.
@@chapmcchap2919 wow. Thanks for the detailed explanation. 👍. The thing with ashwin is, he constantly improves his skills. He is a great fan of the game. That's important. Unless you respect the art and improve with new variations, you can't survive in the batsmen friendly environment nowadays.
Every game is physics and mathematics but I personally feel that cricket is the most scientific and complex of all.
Answer is Dravid! He takes youngsters to play in each and every country possible. He is the General sizing every Indian youngster up. Tbh, this hype will go down heavy once India loses an ICC tournament. I am an Indian and I know we disappoint when it is least expected from us.
The thing is western cricketers are athletes first and cricketers second. Indian cricketers are cricketers first and athletes second. The previous generation of Indian cricketers were only cricketers and not athletes. Indian cricketers don't play a lot of sports when younger, hence their bodies are completely optimised for the game by the time they are 25. This also allows them to avoid the wear and tear that ages the cricketers and can afford to have longer careers.
Is not going to Asian century
It's indian century
ರವಿ ನಂದನ🎉🎉
Oh my fucking god nothing has cracked me up like that in a long time 😂😂😂😂😂
*To win series in India is next to impossible now*
tha's what we thought about aus ,, you never know untill a team wins it ,,
The pace u guys are going at,will surely fetch u a million subscribers (indians alone) just in a matter of days.
In football its easier to find witty and/or funny commentary, its kryptonite in cricket. Thanks guys! This is just so funny
You should check out the bowling action of Sivil Kausik - it’s what Nick Elliott fears!
Best and funniest #AskTGC so far.Boys !!! keep it up.
Best little video about the series. Great conversations bois.
I think Nick is definitely on to something and not just with the bowlers but also with the batters. If someone were to see Steve Smith bat without knowing how good he is, they would likely criticize his body form and batting style. As weird as he bats, he scores a ton of runs and looks like he would never get out. Maybe that's the key to be successful in modern cricket where something you do weirdly/uniquely gives you a little bit of advantage.
1:52 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice to see that the best solution the anglosphere can come up with to play spin bowling is eugenics
Bois! :) I love your vids...I keep waiting for next ones and an alert...keep going! It's fun to watch you guys...not just AUS/ENG..pls cover all the international matches. Peace out!
Rofl on the hammers. Maybe if kids here used rubber balls that grip and turn they can grow up spinning. That and send them across to India for summers to experience it all - cricket, culture and food
We also experiment eith contextual teams and contract a diverse set of Test cricketers in the team - ine for the sub-continent, one for englist conditions etc
What a rant.. Nick bro..bahut hard
Please write a right arm manual for cricket coaches. Left one for laters.
One of best videos,
Ashwin is using his mind when bowl that's the main thing. You need not have to make you body more flexible, just a better understanding. What's the things with Asian century? Its more confusing me than ashwins bowling🤔
Hyperextension of arm doesn't give any advantage as it doesn't give any sort of extra momentum to bowl. Rather it might be counted as a disadvantage.
You first need to understand the Indian mindset. It’s a resilient mindset that has fought oppression from foreign forces for hundreds of years and eventually emerged victorious. It’s a spirit that competes every single day to get ahead in a race of 1.4b people. It’s a civilization that thrives in ambiguity and makes the most of limited resources. India’s time has come and the western nations will never be able to understand what makes the Indian cricketer unique.
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Amazing ask TGC question He Hammered the nail on it's head here 😂😂
Life is shit but you both are awesome
This was hilarious. I am an Indian and I see India loose all the time but more often than not they win. This is true for any good team in the world.
The hammers and shit is the greatest line EVER
This bloke man so funny that he tickled my funny bone and you speak so well that I understand you, thanks.
For all you non-Australians, google Australian rhyming slang if you wish to understand why these guys call turning wickets “bunsens”. (Bunsen burner = turner).
Eg- Everyone makes a fuss when India brings out the bunsens, but what about when the Kiwis whip out the Haagen Daas (“grass”)?
Very funny mates. For the Anglosphere to succeed, I can suggest many things. Immigrants from India can help with your spin, avoid anglo saxon perfect conventions in preparing a cricket pitch. Simple
in australia there are tons of Indian immigrants and I always see way more of them at the park than Aussies playing cricket, and I verse tons of them at club level. Its confusing why almost none of them go professional besides the recent tanveer sangha and Sandhu. My theory is that the families move to Australia/western countries for better education/economic/job opportunities. So whilst their parents might support them playing cricket as a child and even a teen, when later high school comes around they would want them to give up cricket to fully focus on school, getting into an engineering/medical degree at a high level university, because this sets them up for a much more secure life than pursuing to be a cricketer. Thats my theory, or maybe we will start to see much more Indians playing professionally for Australia in the future. But you also must understand that immigrants from India will get Australian coaching which is textbook and thus what TGC is saying is outdated, whilst a guy like Ashwin likely developed his own unorthodox yet very effective bowling technique by himself
The man deserves a Citizen Kane type standing ovation.
BOYS!!
dont mind me just going to a dark corner of the house to watch a compilation of ashwin's bowling. thanks for the daily reminder guys.
I never heard such a heartful laugh
For your information the great akram bowls with a thumb perpendicular to the seam. Manuals will swear that give back rotation to the ball with that grip and you can't swing... well wasim was the greatest swinger of all times. Sachin had such a low grip he could not move his wrist while driving to keep the ball. Manuals will swear that will make the drive go in air. We'll sachin perfected the punch with nil follow thru. We'll there are run of the mill players coming of the assembly lines vouched by manual and then there are geniuses...
This is the funniest question ever 😆👏🏼😆😂
Nick is a legend
"Bring that hammer" : Robert Baratheon
The guy who sent this comment/email should be on the podcast :)
This is the best content since I subscribed. Wow.
That was a wonderful question by Nick. 🤣🤣🤣
You dont need any of that. Just make these kid's palms big like Jimmy's, make sure their wrists are relatively flexible and teach them how to sling like malinga or thommo.
Easy solution - beat India with sandpaper! Where’s Bancroft these days? Smith and Warner won’t need a second invitation obviously!
1:52 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤯🤯
This was hilarious!!!!!’ Who is that guy? Get him on the podcast I say lol
Zimbabwe beat Afghanistan in Two days, I've been robbed as a viewer.
What about spinner with 6 fingers in bowling hand ? i am sure there are many people with 6 fingers
Time to write 'The Art of Cricket' PART 2
OMG!!! I switched my laptop off, turned off the electricity of my house still I can't stop laughing.
Love the author of the letter
That was an epic comment!!
All the grass that was on the ahemdabad pitch, root smoked it and got 3 fast bowlers in the XI
Awesome stuff guys! 🤣🤣🤣
You should call marvel story writers to write a story about genetic manipulation to bowl spin. 😂😂
you guys are amazing. love your videos.
I am saving this video 😂 this is hilarious.
It's easy, request CA to allow scheduling Eng vs Ind test at Gabba.
That question was the funniest shit I've heard
Bois!!!! Yes that's how we start a show😂😂. And Nick, yes Nick's a good observer of the game i can say. I like Nick, because Nick has genuine worries about tackling spin😎😂🤣😂
Cheers Nick!
Fav channel on UA-cam
Dude, did that guy just ask a question or write a news article??? Good lord!!
Y'all taking asian century more seriously than us asians😂
