"Well, we've seen that before, Ted“ - The younger among us may not remember it, but this commentary refers to the 1976 England vs. Sri Lanka match in which Sir Walter Bennett voluntarily went into the Leftovers so that Maxwell and Kenworthy III could perform a foot swept. A rare demonstration of flawless sportsmanship. Side note: referees *never* forgot to check the doors back then.

It's interesting to see how the game has changed over the years. Nowadays you wouldn't see a threesome after a successful fringing like that - teams are much more focussed on getting early doors. I understand why they do it, but it was a lot more interesting back in the day.

Indeed the olden days had its elegancy and it's diligent focus on triffles and strokes with one for two each time around, and that we must not forget. Yet the game clearly evolves in a more paceful manner with Mulroneys bold tactics and drastric measures in accordance with the more frequent use of early doors and the more modern aspects of the fringes. I really don't know what future holds for this game guys.

KlaxonCow A Cricket test match may take 3 days. But Baseball lasts far, far, far longer. For a start a Baseball “hitter” takes a geological Eon just to hit the ball once, what with all the practice swings, spitting, wiggling the bat around, the pitcher spotting someone trying to steal base, more spitting, stick wiggling. Then the pitcher actually pitches! The hitter swings, misses, IT’S A STRIKE! But no it isn’t, it was a no ball. Cue another 10 minutes of stick wiggling, spitting, practice swings. This goes on for like, centuries, until the hitter gets struck out, walks to first base ‘cos the pitcher is shit, or amazingly, the hitter hits the ball!!!! Which goes behind..., Once in a blue moon, the ball gets hit into out field, and even rarer, a home run is scored. In that time, a cricket batsman has scored 100 runs, because they aren’t allowed to fuck about and there isn’t like 200 adverts for pile ointment every hour.

This is like Monty Python and A Bit of Fry & Laurie all rolled into one big "what the hell am I watching and why is it so funny????"

As proud Canadians, we always pull for Mulroney, and not just because he's the cousin of our former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. He was brilliant here, at his absolute peak. 4:15 watch him hurdle the flag. That's how you get a red, green, and two yellows with a Charlie Marker.

Hilarious, even after watching it a hundred times.

Ah the good old days, when they still fringed the rings. Nowadays with the artificial grass and all, the game is not the same. I don't care how many trefolds they kick in one game now. Trefolds for show, fringing for pros imo.

Under the original rules no points were awarded for a trefold, it just earned the chance to go for a ring fringe.

@@otterspocket2826 Indeed, that was a different time. Players were not millionairs back then, they often had side jobs even. Although I do think the game flows better under the current rules, it rewards bold plays.

I wrote "that weird english game" and here i am.

My school hasn't won the Great Little Whimsington upon-Swishwiddle Inter-School Lawn-Ring derby vs. St. Smytherwickes for 37 years, and now I can see why. Watching the similarities between them and the professionals at work goes to show how advanced they were at the highly complex jibbler maneuver.

If you are wondering why there are no spectators: this game was played just a few weeks after the 1994 Brifflewincashire disaster where 36 people were trampled to death by a herd of Shetland ponies during the 5th leg of the second inning in a match between Ghoughlough and Mincetits.

Still one of the best games ever played. A 3-1 score right after the second break. Just brilliant! Dont see that kind of scores now a days.

I say gents, the threelawn here is absolutely not fit for fringing the ring into a wide jollyton. Mulroney's form was excellent in that regard, taking the fourside into a threelance there is an utter display of brilliance and skill. Well done chap, well done!

Okay, then. Up for a challenge? What Gall League bested in fringing in 1995?

I’m British and watched the full 5 minute sketch, which is 5 minutes longer than I have ever managed with an actual cricket match.

Deze humor is tegenwoordig ver te zoeken hahaha! Hilarisch!

Are true work of art. The hobble squoaf was beautiful along with the triple scoop. MULRONEY. What else do I need to say. This man is a true master at his craft and can’t wait to watch his next match. Johans village here we come.

Incredible to think that Mulroney actually represented Nutland in Mornington Crescent at U17 level. He could easily have picked that as his sport and we’d simply never have seen ring fringing or foot swepts like this.

Did he really? Well, good grief, I thought I knew everything there was to know about Mornington Crescent. I must admit, though, I'm much more familiar with it at senior level. I would love to see his technique; do you know if he ever made full use of Trumpington's Variations when they were permitted? I always feel like that produces the most instances of Nid and, therefore, the most exciting games.

Marvelous display of skill. Was the absolute pinnacle in lawn ball history. Thanks for uploading Jiskefet. Remember watching this 36 hour epic match over 5 days building up to the moment that Mulroney swept the ring resulting in this perfect fringe ending. Watching this brings goosebumps up my spine again. I know some chaps love a nice game of rugger; occasionaly I take a look, but mostly that's just a bore to me. Very curious. Is there anybody who has footage of the '76 game in Colchester when Mulroney just got out of uni and hit the 6 back hindsighter that left everybody flabbergasted and amazed?

Pythonesque levels of absurdity... I love it. 😂

This is top drawer comedy. Love it.

I was a little kid when this came out. But I love that this shows that the Dutch and British humour is not that different. Some Jiskefet stuff might be Monty Python inspired and I think it would be pure flattery.

I remember the friendly when mulroney hit 3 knicker on a 5 quarter. 3 reds on the white helped with the recovery from the stroke. what an amazing game.

Steve Slaughter Mulroney's lawn shot (0:28) is wondrous to behold. Harkens back to the legacy champs' in '53 when Gladwrymple took the ring and absolutely set the lawn alight despite the last moment substitution of Derbyshire who was known to be quite marginal at the critical fringing! The trio absolutely pulled a blinder with the victory over Wings... ahh, now but that's history.

That was some of the best grass stroking anticipating ringfall I've seen in Jiskefet, certainly since the switch to colour TV in 1970.

The pace and patter of the commentary is just *chef’s kiss*

Onbegrijpelijk dat voetbal nog populair is terwijl we zulke mooie sport hebbe in ons land!

Amazing attempt at the bucksford on the right swing. Brilliant I must say. Brilliant.

Love the into, just two marks on the blow. Absolute class.
