At school in South Africa in the seventies we had a short story prescribed in English class called "A village cricket match". Behold, forty years later it is on UA-cam. Well done, sir.
I don't even like cricket, so I have no idea how this popped up in my suggestions thingy.....but I'm really pleased that it did. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable ten minutes. As to the Jaffa Cake conundrum; I was given to understand that they are classed as a dry trifle.
At 4.42 I heard the edge back here in Australia and was that first ball a double bouncer? The thought of Sunday cricket not played in 40 degree temperatures. Lovely. Enjoy your cricket this summer England.🇦🇺
07:25 Of course he was bowling for that. A cunning plan if ever there was one! Huge smile on my face as I relive these highlights. I feel blessed to have played many years of 'coarse cricket' to really understand and enjoy this to the max. Please do it all again in 2020.
@@SandersteadCCTV It will happen, 'coarse cricket' has been around for 150 years+ and will, I am sure, continue to be part of our culture. It is a precious mindset we are so lucky to share.
adandap 🙏 thank you, praise indeed! I really enjoyed the way this one came out, and of course the source material in this game was absolutely priceless!
When my son was still working in London he used to play for the HSBC team and I had the privilege of watching a few such games when I visited him here from South Africa. Utter delight and I still remember some of the friends I made next to the field.
I think that this has been the first time that I've seen two young ladies on this channel. In Australia here, their skill has been a revelation! Best wishes to them both!
Man I’ve fallen in love with cricket this past summer. Wish I could play proper but I live in the states and it’s not that popular. This looks like a great way to spend a Sunday.
Excellent stuff. I remember when we could hug on a wicket and shake hands at the end of the match. Those were the days my friend! Tell that to the young people today... Cheers and thanks from Oz - Dave
2:30 I believe, as a former tax accountant, I gave my understanding on the great 'Jaffa Cake Question' in the previous broadcast. But lovely to see these archives again. Thank you so much from a rain sodden hill side of Mid Wales.
@@SandersteadCCTV The sun comes out every time I watch one of these delightful clips. However, the sheep are still bloody soggy and the lambs thoroughly miserable. Pints of Pligrims all round.
Great stuff, looking forward to the new season. My lad is warming up his black Knight (Christmas present) in the indoor season 😃 really looking forward to your videos 😃
This looks like loads of fun! I play semi-serious saturday Division 1 in New Zealand and wish I could experience English village cricket at least once.
Delightfully dotty, you could make a series based on a season of this kind of thing. Reminds me of Michael Portillo's train journeys or the Darling Buds of May. 'Sport' for fun and socialising's sake.
I'm 44 years old and haven't played cricket in more than 20 years, but Del has inspired me, and I'm going to sign up for my local club. I really am. If he can get a wicket chucking down gourmet fray bentos like that, I can dust off my old "leg spinners" - which had implied quotation marks even when I was a kid, as I don't think they span at all, leg or otherwise, I was more your kind of 'deceive them with the flight (and hope they smack the ball onto their own stumps)' type wicket machine. I bet Del's frozen shoulder the next day was worth it just for the 10 minutes of laughter from everybody present including the opposition batsman.
❤️ from Sri Lanka... thoroughly enjoyed this. If you all are looking for a 6’2 fast bowling all rounder who could have easily gotten that 33 off the last over, hit me up 🤣
The Courts decided they are cakes, much to the disappointment of the Vat man. Cakes start soft and go hard , biscuits start hard and go soft over time. Very enjoyable video and commentary!.
This is sad but I know the answer to 'cake or biscuit' and as I sit here self isolating as quick as I can. As cake gets old it hardens, as a biscuit gets old it softens. That my friends is a HMRC definition.
@@SandersteadCCTV Nice! I am definitely going to try and get along to a game this year. I am based on the Kent coast, so it will be quite a pilgrimage, but I have to see some of this live. Maybe not on a Sunday...
@SandersteadCCTV I'm sure u will fit in perfectly, we need another voice and character like the great Henry Blofeld , you would be brilliant.....your comment about 5 minutes of filth won it for me!!
Absolutely priceless commentary......'Johnny Longcock' Tricky Wilson ' and old 'Del' you couldn't make it up !!! I think Johnny needs to 'self isolate' away from the Jaffa cakes for a month or two........:-) Del is definitely the star of the show.....!!
@@SandersteadCCTV You know, aside from the backyard variety, I've never played a game in my life. Watching this though, I'm starting to fancy my chances. Keep having fun though, I think it's great.
We have the full range! This is our Sunday village stuff but take a look at our 1st XI league games (see playlists), it’s actually quite a good standard. Thanks for finding us
my wife won't watch an international cricket match, but will happily watch this "filth" :) she wishes the commentators on TV were more like this! Best wishes from Australia
This just reminds me how much I miss this wonderful game. (Age 76)
7:16 pure village gold! 😂
so frustrating when you nick an inside edge like that 🤣🤣
7.16 I can just hear the TMS commentary.
Blowers - “Oh I say, that’s remarkable,
Bearders my man, does that go in the score-book as played on?”
Good job he hit the stumps, nearly took the keeper's face off!

Thanks - glad you like it! Plenty more village stuff available....
Everyone should play cricket once in their life.
At least!
This is cricket in its purest, most concentrated form!
“All sorts of things happened there , not all of them cricket” brilliant , keep it up !
Brilliant commentary!!
Cricket, the one sport where you can play and self-isolate at the same time. Good fun video, no idea how it got in to my feed though!
Love that - thanks for the corona reference. Glad you found us - there’s loads of games like this to “enjoy”. Cheers
Golf?

andy moore we’ll be there this summer, but I fear we can’t possibly capture as many classic moments as last year. Really hope we do, though.....
@@SandersteadCCTV It will happen, 'coarse cricket' has been around for 150 years+ and will, I am sure, continue to be part of our culture. It is a precious mindset we are so lucky to share.
Definitely a cake. And that "5 seconds of filth" was the clearest waist high no ball I've ever seen; beautiful piece of umpiring... 😂
"U don't want to collide with Longcock" 1 of the great commentary lines of all time.
Got to love a bit of Longcock 😂
Just spat my tea out watching the smash onto the stumps!! Brilliant!!
A moment of village cricket magic!
"With Derek still on anything remains possible." :D
That is possibly the greatest highlights package I've ever seen.
adandap 🙏 thank you, praise indeed! I really enjoyed the way this one came out, and of course the source material in this game was absolutely priceless!
The best thing about Del's bowling is that he can't field at cover at the same time.
I guess we should be thankful for small mercies!
Is Del the most talked about man in village cricket?
When my son was still working in London he used to play for the HSBC team and I had the privilege of watching a few such games when I visited him here from South Africa. Utter delight and I still remember some of the friends I made next to the field.
Great to hear! Thanks
7:16 almost died laughing! Cheers from Australia.
That was gold.
Amazing!!!
That had me in tears 😂😂😂😂

It's a lovely way to spend the English summer I must say
There us cricket in the USA, where do you live?
@@MyChristine6 Ohio
The fella towards the end had to wait 6 years to get a bowl in that attack????
😂😂😂

I get way more excitement watching this than normal cricket.
So do I! It’s so much more unpredictable and the human aspects come through clearly. Also, we’ve all played in this type of cricket….
This is absolutely wonderful, unintentional comedy from the players, inspired understated commentary. I've been crying with laughter.
Thanks Mike! It’s such fun filming our Sunday XI - there are many more games to watch if you have time on your hands..... thanks for finding us.
I've watched this game many times and it still makes me laugh.
Good old village cricket.
More pies than Pukka!! That shot into his own wicket - priceless 😂😂😂😂
Loved Del's well sprung trap cunningly disguising the pace of the ball so the batsman swung early and demolished his castle-priceless village
wonderful, brought back a lot of old memories, and maybe I am not too old to start playing again!
Of course you aren’t - look at some of these players! Del’s had a quadruple bypass and is 66 - if he can still play then most of us can
Ah!! Sunday league. Literally the greatest cricket to ever existed behind backyard cricket
I played for the school,fast bowler,damned good fielder....only 35 years ago.....still got it i reckon....
Great fun,thank you!
Brilliant, this needs to be given a prime time TV slot!
“Alexa, show me village cricket.”
Alexa: “Hold my beer...”
Johnny Longcock reminds me of the grubs captain
2:30 I believe, as a former tax accountant, I gave my understanding on the great 'Jaffa Cake Question' in the previous broadcast. But lovely to see these archives again. Thank you so much from a rain sodden hill side of Mid Wales.
Thanks Andy - yes, I remember your most comprehensive answers. Hopefully the sun comes out for you soon....

Sanderstead cricket coverage is the TMS of youtube village cricket coverage
I’ll take that! Village TMS - and why not?
Great stuff, looking forward to the new season. My lad is warming up his black Knight (Christmas present) in the indoor season 😃 really looking forward to your videos 😃

I worry that if mainstream TV got hold of this they’d mess it up!
Good video and funny name at 0:52

Go for it, and best of luck from us all at Sanderstead. You’re a long time retired….
“Five seconds of filth” - been speaking to my wife then.
😂😂😂
I've been binge watching your videos in this self isolation period. Pure fun. Love every bit of it :)
Thank you . I’m delighted that these vids are helping people get through.
During lock-down this is just what we need, well done Lucy, cheers !
Every once in a while I watch this video and especially 7:16 and all becomes right in the world again.
I am so jealous of your score board. I have never played with one. Its top notch. 👌👌👌👌
7:15 lmao classic commentary too. Love it.
Love it mate ! Keep it rolling. Watching from New Zealand
Thanks! Will do!
❤️ from Sri Lanka... thoroughly enjoyed this. If you all are looking for a 6’2 fast bowling all rounder who could have easily gotten that 33 off the last over, hit me up 🤣
Brilliant, I feel so much better after that! What a tonic!
Hold the phone.. Square leg using a shooting stick... Bloody genius! I should have thought of that years ago... 🤣👍
Loving watching these games up here in Carlisle great stuff 👍👍
Glad you like them!
absolute joy
To be fair to Tricky Wilson, that was a serious in swinging yorker.
"Lucy has realized that you have to bowl at the stumps to get wickets, in this team. No-one is going to catch it!"
Brutal!
Haha. I used to play for Hurst Green (Holland) CC in the late 70s and early 80s. I’m sure we played both teams in the Saturday or Sunday league.
I’m getting that cricket fever again...just a few more weeks
Amazing I am 10 and play for our village cricket club in Shropshire
HEAVEN
Well done - good luck for a great season!
@@SandersteadCCTV thanks mate
Just gets better with every minute!
Love your videos, last couple of years at about this time I just binge them to get me ready for the season
Excellent!
Nice one, the most entertaining cricket I've watched for a long time.
Thanks!
After a massive row with wife yesterday and been in dreadful mood that hit wicket made me laugh so much 😂
Holy shit. Just saw the guy smash it into his own stumps! Needs 2 be played everywhere
It has been widely seen - very very funny moment, as you can see! 😂
THAT wicket from Del!
I so wish I had access to village cricket! not much in North Wales!
Not much here for a while either!
The Courts decided they are cakes, much to the disappointment of the Vat man. Cakes start soft and go hard , biscuits start hard and go soft over time. Very enjoyable video and commentary!.
Spot on - thank you!
This is sad but I know the answer to 'cake or biscuit' and as I sit here self isolating as quick as I can.
As cake gets old it hardens, as a biscuit gets old it softens. That my friends is a HMRC definition.
Absolutely correct! Who’d have thought we could combine HMRC, Jaffa Cakes and Cricket into a UA-cam channel..... happy days.
That wicket around 7.15 is without question the best piece of village FILTH I've ever seen.
😂 glad you like it, though there are lots of other contenders..... I’m doing a montage soon!
@@SandersteadCCTV Nice! I am definitely going to try and get along to a game this year. I am based on the Kent coast, so it will be quite a pilgrimage, but I have to see some of this live. Maybe not on a Sunday...
Dan Nicholls we may be playing in a cricket week near Deal in early August - probably a but nearer for you!
7.16 I can just hear the TMS commentary.
Blowers - “Oh I say, that’s remarkable,
Bearders my man, does that go in the score-book as played on?”
Now this is my kind of cricket.
7:14 I could watch that everyday.
Stinging nettles look good this year!
Delightful. Thank you
7.17 is one of the funniest things I've seen.
In over 55 years of playing cricket, I thought I'd seen everything, but that's a first.
Thanks - it was a very special moment and I was delighted to be holding a camera while it happened!
You need to be on TMS , your commentary is hilarious!!!
Thanks but I don’t think they have me!
@SandersteadCCTV I'm sure u will fit in perfectly, we need another voice and character like the great Henry Blofeld , you would be brilliant.....your comment about 5 minutes of filth won it for me!!

I'm an Ostrayliun & that was some of the worst cricket I've ever seen played on the most beautiful ground i have ever seen.
You’ve summed up our “brand” in a single sentence! Thanks....😂
Great entertainment. Thanks
Stay tuned. Next week Sanderstead V Beechwood House dementia unit first 11.

Very interesting and amusing.....good stuff 🇪🇸

Cake.....deffo not a biscuit. Love these vids!
How has such a nice set up got such a diabolical standard of cricket
We have the full range! This is our Sunday village stuff but take a look at our 1st XI league games (see playlists), it’s actually quite a good standard. Thanks for finding us
Did wonder ..looks like mid week beer match..Sunday cricket nearly gone now I hear..used to be very good standard years ago..
Jaffa Cakes, bringing the generations together for 70 years (cake)
That young left handed batsman got a class.
0:02 Tricky Wilson clean bowled
Top notch entertainment
7:15. Absolute village cricket right there
This is gold!
excellent commentary
Thanks
😂😂😂great commentary
Real cricket!!
Thank you!
this is awesome.
I've never seen a dismissal quite like that 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Doesn’t happen very often 😂
Good stuff lads!
need more funny videos that i would remember
Is it silly for me to say that I am eagerly awaiting your return to fixtures.
Well played Derek
"Oh God that's dreadful!!!!"
I love cricket
my wife won't watch an international cricket match, but will happily watch this "filth" :) she wishes the commentators on TV were more like this! Best wishes from Australia
