Nathan Astle 222 off 168 balls - the best cricket innings ever! Biggest sixes you've ever seen!

- This is a re-upload of the greatest test innings of all time (in my opinion anyway!) by Nathan Astle playing for NZ against England in 2002.
Nathan Astle came in at #5 when NZ were 119/3 chasing a mammoth 550 to win. With Chris Cairns injured and not even sure he would bat, Astle let rip scoring the fastest double hundred of all time in test cricket, scoring at a rate that would be impressive even in a T20!
Astle's 200 came up in 217 minutes, from only 153 balls, featuring 27 fours and 9 sixes. Astle was the last man dismissed for NZ, ending up on 222 off 168 balls, with 28 fours and 11 sixes. His partnership with Cairns for the 10th wicket was 118 runs in 55 minutes, off just 69 balls. NZ lost the game by 98 runs, scoring an incredible 451 off just 93.3 overs.

watched this llive and was stunned as no one at that time attacked like this ...where were it might be its demolishing attack with just one wicket.if he had stayed a little patient he could have went on to score fastest 300 and also won the match that will be in history .still this is history.
This is when cricket was at its best , proper bowling attack , classic commentary ..
Even Viv Richards would have been stunned at this display of explosive and controlled batsmanship.
Shoutout to Robelinda2, your work will forever be appreciated!
His channel is back with almost all the videos
@@MukeshPanickeris that really him tho?
@@Lakshya-p2sit’s not him it’s one of his subscribers and a long time fan of his work. He literally took a week off from work to DL all videos right after 2nd strike and started uploading every video one by one. He did amazing work. I know this because he posted the same thing when he created this new channel. It was a lot of hard work considering he uploaded 9 years worth of videos in 1 week. Also added link to original Roblinda purchase coffee as it was his good work. Also this new channel is non monetised.
The third 6 off caddick is one of the cleanest shots I've ever seen. Absolutely smoked it.
The most brutal batting in the test cricket I ever witnessed. Astle went ballistic after he reached his 100.
Thorpe who passed away yeterday scored England’s fastest 200 the previous day and wouldn’t have imagined his monumental effort would so easily and quickly be overshadowed by Nathan. The only consolation for England is that they still won. As an England fan, it was fun initially but then it got increasingly nervous. Even though it was made by an opposition batsman, sometimes you just need to doff your hat and say “well played”. Well played, Astle
RIP Thorpey
When astle was in form he was as good as anyone
Very Underrated Cricketer
Underrated,what are you smoking
Astle played EA sport cricket game before it introduced just wow 😅
The forgotten man of NZ cricket. He propped up many an inning for NZ in tests and ODIs, and deserves better acknowledgment of his overall record and achievements. He's certainly the one I remember most from my years following the Black Caps from that time when I was at school. He wasn't the biggest Astle, but put saw off so many menacing, or formidable World bowling attacks with his clean stroke making. Also, great to listen once more to Martin Crowe commentating. What a batter he was too. Never forgotten.
I think this knock distorts his worth as a player. NZ at the time he played had the most fragile top-middle order in world cricket. Astle, McMillan, Fleming, etc..... all had some runs in them now and then, but usually it seemed to fall to the lower order batsmen to save face. Astle and McMillan have averages in the 37/38 range, which is kind of tradesmanlike at best in test batting.
Still the crispest bat on ball sound ever.
Mark Nicholas commentary is also ❤
still no one can beat this record...!!!
listened to a lot of this in the UK in the middle of the night, on a weekend away. The pitch was a "drop-in" so started damp, and just got better to bat on. Thorpe & flintoff getting hundreds
Amazing game
Shout out to Caddick for taking a stump with himself at the end of the match as memorable for his special treatment by Nathan 😂😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻
Let's just salute him!
Underrated
❤ ONE OF THE BEST, GREATEST INNING IN CRICKET EVER. HATS OFF. STUNNING BATTING ! ABSOLATELY UNBELIEVABLE, ,, ,, 🏏 .

That must have been the finest single piece of Kookaburra willow they ever produced. Sounded like cracking thunder.
OMG SUCH A BRAVE MAN WHO GOES DOWN IN HISTORY
Still bat sounds are fresh
LEGEND NATHAN ASTAL SIR HATS OFF HEARTLY SALUTE
Great batting...what a stylish batsman
Astle unlocked God mode and went into flow state. Untouchable.
cricket lovers everywhere must delight in the way astle treated the wheelie bin.
This record is yet to be surpassed
My all time handsome big hitter and sweet opening batsman ever
Stick cricket fs
as a batter, I'd noticed.. when you're in this 'angry as*-kickin-astle' mode.. shots that you thought weren't a part of your repertoire tend to come out and surprise you in a very pleasant way!
Awesome batting❤🎉
The cricket is better than any IPL
I thought IPL is football
Better' than international cricket
Means IPL is a football league
Damn, that kiwi tail started at #5
Such a weird celebration for his wicket. He's just spanked you all round the ground and you think you've won the world cup.. Still the best bat on ball sound ever.
My fav test innings ❤
That vibrant sound of the bat when bash yo ball ..woow ..Astle the stylish player of 90s kids
Cleanest hitting ever
The best innnings ever in a losing cause
Let just salute him ..💥🙋
Astle Is underrated player.
MAINE BHI YAHI SOCHA THA CLAASICAL BATING BATSMAN INNING NATHAN SIR CLASSICAL STYLE❤😮😊

27:54 nassir knows what was happening 2mint ago
Real inning start from 18.12 MAMMA MIAAAA😎😎
Astle❤
Remember hearing about this as a 12 year old. Mythical stuff.
That sound…..my god
Man that crack off the bat
Wow just wow
That was shotgun stuff... Bang bang bang...
Lucky he didn’t have a modern bat
Best ever knock in history any form ..tests r more diff to score
Surprised no Indian fan has given you 100 innings of Tendulkar, Laxman, Dravid, Ganguly, Kohli, Rohit, et al that are a “million” times better than this.
But truly special innings. Personally I like Gavaskar’s last test innings of 96 against a very good Pakistan attack on a Bangalore minefield in 1987 more. Pakistan had 3 spinners who were weaving webs around the rest of the Indian batting (Azharuddin scored 26, I think everyone else scored in single figures). Gavaskar displayed batsmanship of the highest quality, you need to watch it to believe it. Coincidentally, that was made in a losing cause too.
Unbelievable just unbelievable 🤣
Predecessor of Brendon Mccullum
Caddick a kiwi!
In this innings, nathan killed andrew caddick career.
On of the foreign national Star of my childhood...#astle
CHRIS CRAINS SIR
5 minutes in and almost all the shots are risky, not convincing
FIRST SIX 218 V224
What an innings nathan❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bazeball cricket against Bazeball team
I want IPL training before the its auctions. Please do something.
Rest match Khali samay me nahin suru ho sakta fir bhi trained khel sakte hain.
Crack off the first ball!!!
A disappointing player, ultimately.
