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?"
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.
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.
Kerry is the best story teller

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 .
Bring back triple m cricket. It was the best

That's hilarious....I think?????🤨
Good comeback !

Howie is an ace commentor. Love his work
O'Keefe superb
Nothing better than listening to amusing cricket anecdotes, especially with Micky Molloy a couple of wines deep...
Kerry I'm crying
You gotta love how Warnie loves skull
Tuffers is a legend
Two hilarious comedians and Mick Molloy
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 😂
Cunis, neither one thing nor the other. Well played Skull, well played.
I don't get it
what is cunis
He's brilliant 😂 so quick 👏
@@boromirs123 ask your mum to explain it.
Cuisine...lll
I need more .
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 🤣
You kill me Kerry lmfao
All legends in their own lunch boxes

Tuffers story was the best.

Onya skull,funny man
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.
Kerrie a natural.no competition
Nice bowl!
I reckon Skull has been blind rotten drunk most of his life
It might have been 99... But was 100 in my books.
RIP 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
And Warnie
WAIT.......classic call
Phill lol 😂
Brilliant
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
Men will be men
it would be nice if you ever get started
Poor old Mallett
I miss Warnie
Rollator
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
I dont think he was the right choice 😜
O'Keefe thinks he is hilarious. He isn't.
Malloy is a flop!
