I didn't realize that Skull's 99* against Auckland in '74 was his highest FC score. On that particular day he got plenty of support from Iron Gloves Marsh who thumped 70 and Gus Gilmour who knocked up 57 even more quickly. Ray Bright made a more sedate 28. So Kerry missed a century by 1 and Aussie missed a total of 400 also by 1. Then Skull took 5 wickets in 5 consecutive overs in Auckland's second innings but Auckland's tailenders (Cu-nis and co) somehow managed to bat out time. In my old 1974 NZ Cricket Annual I read "Over the last decade Australia have been attempting to find a replacement for Richie Benaud. In this match at Eden Park Kerry O'Keeffe gave visible proof that he may be the man......." Australia's next match was in my home town, Hamilton. 49 years on and I still live here, lol. Northern Districts were the weakest side in the country and Australia scored 522/8 on the first day with Skull scoring 3. However the Chappells ran amok and Doug Walters hit 100* between tea and stumps. I was a teenager at the time and Dougie took the time to chat with me for a couple of minutes as he walked off and sign my old 'C' bat. On the second day ND were bowled out for a whopping 69, with Skull taking 4/18 including the wicket of my ex-gym teacher (and later NZ test player) ADG 'Andy' Roberts who sadly passed away from a heart attack aged 42 in 1989. Kerry played in the first and third test matches, taking 2/83 (including the wicket of Glenn Turner who averaged over 100 in the series) on the Basin 'Road-serve', and 2/8 at Eden Park where he also scored 0 and 32 on what Ian Chappell described as "a bl--dy awful pitch, not fit for a test match". NZ had won their first ever victory over their trans Tasman rivals in Christchurch, but in Auckland Aussie came back in emphatic style winning by 297 runs on the back of centuries by Walters (who batted when the pitch was at its most spiteful) and opener Redpath who carried his bat through the entire second innings. Sadly his opening partner, the great Keith Stackpole, played his last test match and ended up bagging a pair.
True story...Tuffers strolled down to fine leg at the MCG and someone in the crowd yelled out "Hey Tuffnel what's your test batting average?" and Tuffnel yelled back "What's yours?"
Cricket fans seem to like stories about cricket. I like new ideas for cricket. I know cricket is popular in Australia, England, India and Pakistan. I think cricket should grow. I think that Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Cornwall, Brittany, and the Isle of Man should copy the West Indies and have a composite international side. A Celtic Nations side could play teams like Australia, India, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, and England. A Celtic Nations International side would cover a region of 20 million people and could grow cricket.
The Pakistani cricketers name is Not fu@@ar but Fakhar. Not funny. Tufnel should get onto the net if he has no friends to ask for help with pronunciation. It’s not a difficult one to get right. Respect and professionalism starts with an inclination to put in the effort to get the pronunciation of the names right. Cant believe the team sheet would spell the name that wrong. I am sure Tuff can come up with better stories - why make up or spice up.
Idiotic about Fakhar Zaman. Kh is not pronounced as K. Just because you have such limitations in the English language it doesn't mean that Hebrew, German, Farsi, Urdu, Arabic etc are funny. The joke is on you guys.
R.I.P Shane Warne ❤️
Kerry can take an amusing story, colour it, and make it absolutely hilarious. Storytelling genius.

I’ve just been introduced to Kerry and I cannot stop laughing. Just heard the “ Frog” joke and cannot wipe this smile off my face 🤣🤣
He’s pretty good - Just ask him haha
Bumble and Kerry would be ae awesome duo
@Daniel Oliver , bumbles and Kerry are the best . I hope we get to see more of them in the future .
True story...Tuffers strolled down to fine leg at the MCG and someone in the crowd yelled out "Hey Tuffnel what's your test batting average?" and Tuffnel yelled back "What's yours?"
That's hilarious....I think?????🤨
Good comeback !
😅
Bring back triple m cricket. It was the best
Howie is an ace commentor. Love his work
Nothing better than listening to amusing cricket anecdotes, especially with Micky Molloy a couple of wines deep...
O'Keefe superb
You gotta love how Warnie loves skull
Kerry I'm crying
Tuffers is a legend
I got to be honest, i dont get a lot of Kerry O'Keeffe's jokes, but i laught at them becsuse of the way he laughs at them 😂
Two hilarious comedians and Mick Molloy
I need more .
Cunis, neither one thing nor the other. Well played Skull, well played.
I don't get it

He's brilliant 😂 so quick 👏
@@boromirs123 ask your mum to explain it.
Cuisine...lll

All legends in their own lunch boxes
I reckon Skull has been blind rotten drunk most of his life
Tuffers story was the best.
Kerrie a natural.no competition
You kill me Kerry lmfao

Nice bowl!
Don't ever let the larrikin storytelling stop. So good to hear people not taking themselves too seriously! RIP Warney, gone far too soon 😢.
How i wish i was there when Kerry made 99 and been run out by 18 yard just cuz his partner broke the promise and just said WAIT.
Man im dead already 🤣
It might have been 99... But was 100 in my books.
9:53
Molloy likes the sound off his own voice.
He’s annoying
His humour is so dated
Remember Martin-Molloy? Tony Martin was the prime mover in that partnership.
Nah, micks ok
I saw this comment and thought, “ease up mate”, then I listened to the 14 odd minutes.. 100% correct.
Nobody can beat Skull🤣🤣🤣
RIP Warnie
Onya skull,funny man
What a lucky……………………. Chap..!!😂😂
Fahkar Zuman.
WAIT.......classic call
Men will be men
And Warnie
I have a feeling the current crop of female commentators may not understand his humour...has me in stitches. He should be on AFL..😆
Asha likes him
@@danieloliver4558 her names isa kid
@@tangiers365 that's the one
then you font kow any women
it would be nice if you ever get started
Maybe its an Australian thing. But as an international viewer i would like to see commentary sans of Mark Howard James Brayshaw and Kerry o Keefe
Can't give Kerry the boot.
boring
Brilliant
Phill lol 😂
Poor old Mallett
I miss Warnie
Molloy should be quite in this company
Quiet.
@@sallybilzon3507 quite right ;)
That'is e4iws what
Settle down deep ask, it’s comedy story not a made up joke
Rollator
I dont think he was the right choice 😜
Malloy is a flop!
O'Keefe thinks he is hilarious. He isn't.
